INI EIVOORA1tl DV IUA TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: March 13, 1995 SUBJECT: A request for a major exterior alteration in the Commercial Core I zone district and site coverage, stream setback and common area variances and conditional use permits to allow office on the third floor and to allow an outdoor dining deck, to provide for the redevelopment of.Serrano's, located at 298 Hanson Ranch Road/Lot C, Block 2, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: Margretta B. Parks and Vail Associates, Inc. Planner: Andy Knudtsen 9. DESCRIPTtOPd OIF THE REQUESTS Glen Heelen, the project developer and applicanYs representative, is proposing to demolish the existing Serrano's Building and replace it with a new structure. The building program continues to include: ~ First floor of retail. ~ Second floor of restaurant. Third floor of office and condominium. ~ Fourth floor of condominium area. ~ The basement will contain commercial uses. In addition to these uses, there will be walkway and landscaping improvements to the rear of the building and to the east of the building along the Mill Creek stream tract. A second floor dining deck will be constructed over the Hanson Ranch Road right-of-way. The proposal has been modified significantly since the February 27, 1995 PEC worksession. The changes include: 1. A portion of the building on the first, second, and third floors has been removed at the northeast corner. Previously, the architect had located the northeast corner of the building-at the edge of the 30'-Mill Creek stream setback. The resulting forrn of the building included a somewhat arbitrary angle. With the present design, the architect has cut the corner at a 45 degree angle and provided a strong relationship beivveen the corner of the building and the entrance into Vail Village. The building steps back on the third and fourth level to soften the corner treatment. 2. The building has also been reduced in size on the southeast corner. Enough of the building has been eliminated in this area so that the utilities do not need to be relocated. All of the existing trees south of the site will remain except for one spruce and one aspen, which will be transplanted to the stream tract. Staff would like to 1 - ? a emphasize that our goal in encouraging the applicant to pull the building bac;k in this area was not to preserve the utilities in their existing location, but to preserve the landscaping. Previously, staff was concerned that the building size was such that the utilities would be relocated to a more visible location and significant spruce would be cut down. Staff believes that the applicant has moved in the right direction and can now accommodate a significant portion of the walkway on his property in this location. The landscaping has been preserved but the utility pedestals should be con;solidated. 3. In addition to pulling back the building area at the southeast corner and northeast corner, the architect has reduced the overall size of the building around the perimeter. This has allowed the eaves to be increased in depth. Previously, the eaves measured from 12 inches to 18 inches. Presently, a majority of the eaves measure from 3 feet to 4 feet in depth. There are some locations which do not have this depth, including the fourth floor eaves, which range in depth from one foot to two feet. Staff would like to point out that these are not as visible from ground level as the third floor eaves. 4. The amount of landscaped area on-site has been increased. Since the building has been cut back at the northeast and southeast corners, there is more room for landscaping on-site. The architect has taken advantage of these changes and . provided planters in these locations, which include 5 aspen. Staff believes tiiat locating the trees next to the building is an improvement that will help soften its appearance. 5. The floodplain modification is no longer needed. Due to the reduction in building size at the southeast corner, all improvements would be made outside the floodplain. 6. The mechanical equipment has been designed within a chimney feature. All mechanical equipment will be located within, or immediately behind, a stucco chimney element. 7. First floor site coverage now measures 83.9%. This does not reflect basement square footage. To accomplish the proposal described above, a CCI exterior alteration and the following three variances are required: 1. A setback variance for an 11-foot encroachment into the 30-foot stream setback for Mill Creek (for the basement floor only); 2. A site coverage variance request of 83.9% (80% is allowed in CCI); and 3. A variance for common area of 78.9% (35% is allowed by zoning). Also, the following two conditional use permits are required: 1. An outdoor dining deck on the secontl floor; and 2. Office space on the third floor. 2 so. zONiNG ANALYsos o Zoning: Commercial Core I (CCI) Lot Area: 4,646 square feet o The bold text indicates the standards which require variances.

Vail Villaqe Urban Desiqn Guide Plan The Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan specifically addresses the Mill Creek stream tract east of the Serrano's Building as follows: Concept 8- "Mill Creek walking path, West Side.Mill Creek Path completEss linkage from pirate ship and mountain path to Gore Creek Drive." Staff believes that this walk should be an extension of the recent improvements made to the Mill Creek Court Building and adjacent stream tract. Staff recognizes that it is a mutual goal among the developers, Vail Associates, and the Town of Vail to create a new pedestrian link from Hanson Ranch Road to the Vista Bahn ski base. Staff believes that the connection between Hanson Ranch Road and the Ski Base has been improved significantly since the previous worksession. The alignment, width and location conform to the Vail Village Urban Design and Guide Plan, and staff's analysis. B. Vail Villaqe Urban Desian Criteria 1. Pedestrianization: The Vail Village Urban Design Criteria state that: "a major objective for Vail Village is to encourage pedestrian circulation through an interconnected network of safe, pleasant pedestrian ways." Staff believes that the pedestrian path in the Mill Creek stream corridor should reflect the design and qualiry of the recently completed improvemeni:s north of Hanson Ranch Road in the Mill Creek stream corridor. With this goal in mind, the landscape architect has modified the design so that the edge of the walkway undulates, the poured in place concrete wall has been replaced with boulders where possible, the concrete wall is faced with stone and rias been designed in a serpentine fashion to reflect the building edge on the Southeast corner, and the plan includes 5 aspen in planters located next to the building. Staff believes that the landscaping located on either side of the pedE;strian walkway will improve its quality. There are two spruce trees which 4vill have to be relocated to accommodate the location of the new staircase. One tree will be located approximately 10' to the east. The other, larger tree, will be ..relocated to the.front.of the building near Hanson..Ranch Road. Staff believes that the relocations will improve the appearance of the site. Three "village lights" have been added to the walkway at appropriate locations to illuminate it at night. Two outstanding issues regarding this section of walkway include the south bridge abutment on Hanson Ranch Road and whether it should be improved to match the Town's efforts on the north side and if the utility pedestals should be consolidated. 4 6) 2. Vehicular Penetration: Staff believes that the proposal is consistent in the goal of eliminating vehicles from the Vail Village Core. 3. Streetscape Framework: The building will present a three-story facade along Hanson Ranch Road. It will include an outdoor dining deck on the second floor, an easily recognizable main entrance to the building from Hanson Ranch Road, and public art adjacent to the front entrance. The public art will be in the form of a large wall gr2phic painted on the first floor exterior wall or possibiy a sculpture located in front of . this wall. Staff believes that these elements fulfill this criteria as the proposed building will create new commercial activity and give additional interest to the street life. . 4. Sfreef Enclosure: In general, the goal of this criteria is to create "outdoor rooms". From an urban design point of view, the outdoor rooms are successful if the width of the space of the street is twice as wide as tfie average height of fhe buildings on either side of the street. The diagram below is an example of this concept. Assuming the first floor of the Red Lion commercial shop on the south side of the building is approximately 15 feet #all, the proposed structure is consistent with the standards of this goal. I ~L, Y • ' . • _ .i. ~ . I~.~•• ~Y , ~ ~ v }}}ggg / `d41 O 1 • 4 ! . 5 . 5. Street Edge: This criteria cails for buildings to be designed with portions located at or near the property line. This helps to create the outdoor rooms discussed above; however, the guidelines state that "this is not to imply continuous building frontage along the property line." The success of the street edge is dependent on variety, with portions of buildings being setback from the property line. Staff believes that the changes in the design in the last two weeks have irnproved the quality of the proposal, particularly in relation to this criteria. We believe that the street edge will.have more character, given the portion of the building ~ that has been eliminated on the northeast corner. We believe that the resulting undulation and variety within the building frontage is what is called for by this criteria. 6. Building Height: The proposed building height is consistent with the goals of the Design Considerations. Although there is a small portion of the roof which is flat (approximately 300 sq. ft.), the architect has done a good job, in staff's opinion, making this portion as small as possible. In the last few design iterations, this element has become smaller and smaller. Staff compared the proposed section of the Serrano's building to thE~ Golden Peak House. There is a difference in floor-to-floor ceiling heights arid the maximum ceiling height in the penthouse. The Serrano's structure i:s six inches larger on each level than the Golden Peak House. If the structure were redesigned to match the Golden Peak House, it could be reduced by 2.5 feet. 7. Views and Focal Points: A detailed analysis of the adopted view corridors have been done. 'rhough this building comes close to the adopted view corridor boundaries, there is no encroachment. The Urban Design Guidelines not only identify adopted view corridors but also state that: - "whether affecting adopted view corridors or not, the impact of the proposed development on views from pedestrian ways and public spaces must be identified and considered where appropriate." -Staff believesthe building will have significant impacts to-views from Hanson Ranch Road to the ski slopes. In addition, views from the upper part of Bridge Street to the southeast will be eliminated. The existing Serrano's roof allows the public to see Vail Mountain from Hanson Ranch Road. Staff has evaluated the impacts from the proposed development and believe that more upenness would be desirable. However, staff acknowledges that the applicant is proposing a structure that conforms to the height regulations. 6 0 9 8. Service and Delivery: As proposed, the GolcJen Peak House and the Serrano's Building will be sharing a common trash elevator. The elevator which services the utility area of the Golden Peak House will be accessible to both buildings via an internal connection. Staff believes that this is an excellent coordination of this service • and reduces the amount of service activity on the street by focusing it at one entrance. - . 9. Sun/Shade: The sun/shade impacts to the surrounding properties will increase. For the Spring and Fall equinox, half of Hanson Ranch Road will be in shade at 10:00 a.m. By 2:00 p:m., the street will not be shaded, but the walking path will be. Shading at the Winter solstice will be much more significant. 10. Roofs . Staff has spent quite a bit of time working with Jeff Winston, the Town's urban design consultant, and with the project architect regarding the roofs for the Serrano's Building. There has been a significant improvement in the roof form for the building since the initial application. The Town has encouraged the architect to unify the building under a single roof form. Previously, the building appeared somewhat "boxy" because the top floor did not appear to be tied into the lower three floors. The architect has responded and improved the integration of the floors of the building. At this time, roof forms extend from the third floor elements to the fourth floor elements and make the building appear more cohesive. Staff has a concern with one of the balconies on the fourth floor, which faces north. If cut back in size, it will allow more of the third floor roof to extend to the fourth floor. This would help achieve the goal discussed above of tying the two floors together. Staff has agreed to evaluate this issue after a model has been constructed. If the building form will benefit from the change, the staff will require it prior to a final DRB hearing. The Town's Urban Design Guidelines call for overhangs that range from 3 to 6 feet on all edges. Since the worksession, the applicant has increased the depth of the eaves. The Hanson Ranch Road elevation has eaves which meet or exceed the three foot minimum guideline. The east elevation will also meet the guidelFnes, with the exception of an 14 linear foot section, at two feet. The southern elevation will have eaves meeting or exceeding the three foot guideline except for a 24 linear foot section. The fourth floor eaves are one foot deep for a majority of the perimeter. It is important to note that the fourth floor eaves are set back in such a way that they are less visible than the third floor eaves from the street level. The roof is proposed to be tar and gravel which is consistent with criteria stated in the Guidelines. The proposed roof pitch is a 3:12, which is consistent with the Guidelines, which calls for roofs ranging from 3:12 to 6:12. 7 . f 11. Facades The materials to be used in the facade include stucco, vertical cedar siding, and copper elements, and are all materials frequently used in the Village and allowed for by the Guidelines. The transparency of the second floor does not fulfill the criteria as well as it could. The Guidelines call for first floor:, to be 55% to 70% transparent. Upper floors are to be 35% to 40% transparent. Though the numbers are not met exactly, staff believes that there is adequate differentiation between floors. Most of the windows are made up of the small panes which staff believes is consistent with the Guidelines and makes for a more attractive building. The trim around the windows will be a significant feature on the building, which is also consistent with the Guidelines. 12. Decks and Patios A dining deck will be located on the north elevation of the second floor. The Guidelines call for dining decks to be elevated a few feet above the pedestrian walk to allow diners to view the street activity. The Guidelines do not speak to second floor decks; however, staff believes that the proposed seconci floor deck is a reasonable proposal. 13. Balconies Staff believes that the balconies will be an effective accent element of the building. The railing design is consistent with an "alpine character", and the number of balconies have been reduced to limit the amount of architectural "busyness". 14. Accent Elements The architect is proposing to use copper on several awnings and roof elements on, the first and second floors. The shutters, window boxes, fascia, eind stonework at the base of the building are all strong accent elements that will lend to the success of the project. The window boxes will be irrigated to insure that the plants and flowers will look attractive. The rock walls should be finished without a cap, in staff's opinion. An accent element that sta-ff is concerned about is the artwork to be located to the west of the main entrance. Details of the wall painting or the sculpture shall need to be providecl for the DRB review. 8 D O 15. Landscape Elemenfs There are three components of the landscape plan associated with this project: IVorth Side Landscaping elements on the north side af the building include five planters. Two of these will be located at the base of stone pillars supporting the second story dining deck. These will be planted with ground covers and perennials. Three other pfanters will be iocated next to the wall of the building. The widest planter, approximately 3 feet in depth, will include four shrubs and two aspen. . Staff believes that the vertical landscaping located up against the building on Hanson Ranch Road will help soften it. East Side Staff believes that the landscape design for the 9VIif1 Creek stream tract should reflect the work the Town did adjacent to the Mill Creek Court Building in the summer of 1994. The concept used by the Town was to integrate the sidewalk, . steps, softscape and creek together. The paver walkway is edged in some places with boulders and in other places is open to grasses. The curvilinear style reflects the natural character of the space. The staircases are finished in sandstone (not concrete), and all walls are finished with moss rock. The north side of the bridge for Hanson Ranch Road, adjacent to these improvements, has been faced with moss rock. Staff believes that this style, and all of these materials, should be used for the improvements adjacent to the Serrano's property, including the completion of the south side of the bridge on Hanson Ranch Road, as a part of the Serrano's redevelopment. Staff believes that the current landscape design does match the Town's landscaping work done at the Mill Creek Court area. The use of boulders, moss rock, stone-faced wa11s, unduiating paver walkway, new shrubs and trees, are all effective elements to providing a pleasing walkway. There will be three aspens located in planters adjacent to the eastern building wall. As a result, there will be landscaping on both sides of the walkway. South Side The south side landscaping will include four existing spruce that are to remain and one existing spruce that will be transplanted approximately ten feet to the south of its existing location. Two concerns staff has regarding the south side are consolidating the utility pedestals and finishing the staircase in a way that matches the Town's work around the Mill Creek CourtBuilding. The Town provided sandstone treads in all staircases. Staff recommends that the higher quality material (sandstone) be used rather than the concrete staircase proposed. 9 e • C.

Streetscape Master Plan "The primary paving material for the right-of-way area of the Village Core is recommended to be rectangular concrete unit pavers, in the color mix specified in the Guidelines for Paving section of this report. The herringbone pattern, which is proposed for most areas, is edged by a double soldier course. The intent is to satisfy the need for a simple streetscape treatment without being monotonous." The applicant is proposing a band of pavers along the front of the building. The proposed.band would be 10 feet wide, extending out from the face of the building. It would wrap around the building on the northeast corner and continue along the east side towards the bike path. The entire paver walkway will be snowmelted. There will also be three Village lights located along the walkway. Staff understands that the developer will use the "Vail Blend" for the pavers with a double soldier course. IV. HIS70RY OF SURROUNDIPlG PROPERTIES Af the request of the PEC, staff researched the histories of several buildings surrounding the Serrano's site: A. A & D Buildinq October 8, 1984 - The PEC approved a CCI exterior alteration. No variances were requested. Site coverage was proposed at 79.0%: The exterior alteration was approved with the condition that a floodplain modification request be approved by the Town prior to construction. May 8, 1985 - The PEC approved a floodplain modification for the A& D development. No stream setback variance was required. February, 1995 - Applicant proposes expansion to Golden Bear. Proposed site coverage is 79.95%. B. Red Lion Buildinq April 9, 1990 - The PEC approved a view corridor encroachment, stream setback variance, site coverage variance, CCI exterior alteration, and conditional use permit (to allow an outdoor dining deck). Prior to redevelopment, the Red Lion Building encroached into the Mill Creek stream setback 1 to 18 feet. The proposed redevelopment requested 5 additional feet..of encroachment. The staff memo cited the location of the existing building and the A& D improvements as significant issues that would not make the request a grant of special privilege. The staff recommended denial of the requests, although the PEC ultimately approved the requests. Concerning site coverage for the Red Lion redevelopment, the proposal included 50 square feet of additional site coverage. However, as part of the redevelopment, 27 square feet of existing site coverage was to be eliminated. As a result, there was net 13 ; t increase of 23 square feet of site coverage. At the time of.the proposal, the existing Red Lion Building had a site coverage of 83%. Though the staff recommencjation for the sife coverage variance request was denial, the PEC ultimately approved it. One of the conditions of the exterior alteration was an agreement between the Town and the Red Lion developers that the GRFA approved through that process be the cap. Language has been incorporated into the condominium declarations that the existing 8,714 square feet of GRFA and three dwelling units are the maximum allowed for the property and that no other GRFA or dwelling units may be added to the project in the future. The standards for CCI zoning would have allowed approximately 11,200 square feet of GRFA and eight dwelling units. On October 22, 1990, the PEC approved an exterior alteration and a site coverage variance to allow an airlock to be constructed for the Szechuan Lion Restaurant. At the time of the request the building had a site coverage of 83.2 percent. The proposed airlock was an additional 60 square feet. The approval allowed the building i:o reach a site coverage of 83.6 percent. Staff recommended approval, primarily because the Zoning Code at the time emphasized the need for airlocks. C. Golden Peak House November. 2, 1993 - Town Council approved a Special Development District dor the Golden Peak House. This included, among other things, a site coverage request which exceeded the 80% allowed in CCI. At the time of the proposal, the existing Golden Peak House on the existing lot had a site coverage of 91.6%. Under the approved plans with the expanded lot, the site coverage will be 94%. D. Curtin Hill Buildinq March 8, 1993 - The PEC approved a CCI exterior alteration for this building. Site coverage at the time of this proposal was 71 The approved site coverage is 71.6%. E. Christiania Lodqe Under the Public Accommodation zone district, allowed site coverage is 55%. On March 23, 1992, Town Council approved a Special Deyelopment District allowing the Christiania to expand from 32% to 39% site coverage. F. Slifer Buildinq February 24, 1992 - The PEC approved a site coverage variance. The existirig site coverage at the time was 92.1% or 2,956.7 square feet. The request was for an additional 57 square feet of site coverage or 1.8%. Since the construction of this addition, the current Slifer Building has a site coverage of 93.9% or 3,013.7 square feet. The basis for staff supporting the request was a concept proposed at the time by a consultant hired to analyze the Zoning Code who recommended changes. These changes included modifying the site coverage section for CCI to reflect the sEtback section for CCII. In Lionshead (CCII), setback standards can be waived if proposed additions are in compliance with the Urban Design Considerations. That same concept was suggested to be applied to site coverage and was proposed to be used in the Village. It is important to note that these code modifications were not approvE;d. 14 0 G. Clock Tower Buildinq August 12, 1991 - The PEC denied a request for a site coverage variance at the Superstars Studio within the Clock Tower Building. The PEC found that the property was not encumbered with a physical hardship. The existing site coverage was 87%. The request for an additional 28 square feet would have put site coverage at 87.2%. The staff recommended deniai and the PEC concurred. H. Covered Bridqe Buildinq The Covered Bridge building was approved for redevelopment in 1993. The applicants originally requested five variances and a floodplain modification, but ultimately designed a building which conformed with all zoning standards. The project was approved and recently received its' TCO. V. VARYANCE CRITERIA AYVD FINDINGS Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of the Vait Municipal Code, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the common area variance and denial of sife coverage and stream setback variances based on the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: 1. The relationship of the reques4ed variance 40 o4her existing or potential uses and s4ructures in the vicini4y. Site Coveraae Staff believes that the relationship of the proposed development to other uses in the vicinity has improved since the previous worksession. We believe that the character of the building will contribute to the quality of the Village. The mass and bulk of the building has been mitigated by the architectural design. Specifically, the mass and bulk has been broken-up in an aesthetically pleasing way. Stream Setback Staff believes the variance request for stream setback meets this •criteria. All of the above-grade building conforms to the setback. The only portion of the building that extends into the setback is below grade. Therefore,.we see very little negative impact.on this cr.iteria by the requested variance. Common Area Staff believes that the common area variance is not excessive. Due to the exiting requirements of the Uniform Building Code, the applicant has had to dedicate a certain portion of the floor area to hallways and stairwells. We believe the impacts to surrounding properties from the common area are minimal. 15 ~ , 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary tc? achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in Rhe vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege. Site Coveraqe Staff believes that there is no physical hardship which would justify a site coverage variance. . 1n the research provided in the previous section, staff believes the A& D Building and Covered Bridge Building are the two projects that are the most like the Serrano's propasal. Since these two buildings were demolished, and the developer was working with a vacant site, there were no existing constraints which could be viewed as hardships. It is important to note that ultimately bo-th buildings conformed to zoning and did not require variances. The Red Lion building through the variance process, has beeri allowed to expand up to 83.6% site coverage. The current proposal for Serrano's puts the building at 83.9% site coverage. Though the two buildings are significantly different, staff believes it is important to point out that the proposed site coverage is "in the ball park" of the site coverage of the Red Lion building. Obviously, the most significant difference between the two projects is that the Red Lion was not a demo/rebuild and that the proposaf at the time of the variance approvafs was to make additions to an existing building. Furthermore, it is important to note that the net increase of site coverage at the time of the variance approvals was 23 square feet for the condominium development and 60 square feet for the Szechuan Lion air lock. The Golden Peak House, through an SDD process, was allowed to reach a 94% site coverage. The major difference between thE;se two development proposals is that the Golden Peak House was reviewed as an SDD and had to address many more criteria than what are under consideration for the Serrano's redevelopment. Major streetsc.ape improvements and employee housing provisions were includeci as part of the review of the Golden Peak House, for example. In addition, staff believes it is important to note that the ownership patterns of the Golden Peak House make it very different than the Serrano's request. The Slifer Building has received a site coverage variance. On February 24, 1992, the Town approved a. site coverage variance of 1.8°Io or 57 square feet. At the time, the existing site coverage was 92,1%: With the addition, the site coverage is now 93.9%. In the memo for this request, staff relied on the recommendations of the Urban Design Guide Plan Considerations to justify the variance. This was based in part on 16 ~ changes recommended by a consultant regarding the way the Municipal Code should be rewritten. Though the Code was not changed according the recommendations of the consultant, and cannot be used to justify a variance, staff believes that the proposed Serrano's building is in compliance with the Urban Design criteria at this time. In summary, when considering the Serrano's request, staff must rely on the physical constraints of this site only and not look towards precedent. Since the site does not have a physical hardship, staff recommends denial of this portion of the request. Stream Setback Staff believes that there is not a physical hardship on this site which would justify encroaching into the stream setback. We acknowledge that. the impacts from this encroachment are few and also that this site is small. The applicant has saidthat expanding out into ihe stream setback area is critical, because the site is smaN. Common Area Inthe past, staff has supported common area variances associated with commercial buildings. Typically, these have been full-service hotels which require a higher level of guest amenity and therefore, a greater amount of common floor area. In this case, the applicant has requested the variance mainly to achieve Uniform Building Code requirements for front and rear exits and common hallways. Staff believes that support for the proposed additional common area is reasonable. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, 4ransportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and u4ilities, and public safety. Site Coveraqe Staff believes that the requested site coverage variance may have negative impacts on the amount and duration of sunlight reaching , Hanson Ranch Road. Stream Setback - Staff believes there will be little impact from this variance request on . these issues. Common Area Staff believes that there will be little impact frorn the common area variance on these issues. 17 . ' ~ B. The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq findinqs before qrantinq 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. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties er improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the followinig reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation. or enforcement of the specified regulation wouid 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 specifiecl regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by this owners of other properties in the same district. Site Coveraqe Staff believes that Finding B1 is not met as the granting of this, variance could be seen as a special privilege. Though the Red Lion hEis been approved with the site coverage of 83.6%, the redevelopment of the two buildings are different in their nature. A proposal to make additions to an existing building is different from a proposal to demolish an existing building and start from the ground up. Finding B2 is met in staff's opinion as there would be no impact on public health, 'safety or welfare. Staff believes that Finding 63 cannot be met for reasons outlined in the paragraph above. Siream Setback Staff cannot support the stream setback variance relative to Finding 61 for similar reasons outlined above (concerning the site covera(le variance). Though the Red Lion was granted stream setback encroachments, it is due to the fact that the existing building served as the hardship. Staff believes that there would be no impacts to health, safety or welfare and that the request meets Finding B2. Concerning Finding 63, staff does not believe that it meets this criteria for the reasons listed above. 18 Common Area ' Staff supports this variance relative to Finding B1 as it would not be granted a special privilege since other similar common area variances have been granted in the past. In reference to Finding B2, staff believes there will be no impacts to health, safety or welfare. Finally, staff believes that the common area variance can be supported as a strict interpretation of the common area regulation would deprive this applicant of privileges enjoyed by other owners of properties in the vicinity. VV. CONDITBONAL USE CRITERI.4 ,4ND FIIVDINGS Upon review of Section 18.60, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the conditional use permits based upon the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of fhe Town. Outdoor Dininq Deck The development objective, articulated in the Purpose Section of Commercial Core I, Section 18.24.010, states that the district is intended to maintain the unique character of Vail Village with its. mixture of lodges and commercial establishments in a predominantly pedestrian environment. The Purpose Section speaks to the Vail Village Urban Design Considerations and states that the goal is to ensure a continuation of the architectural qualities that distinguish the Village. Staff believes that the second floor dining deck is consistent with the goal of contributing to the street life character. Office Use of Third Floor Staff believes that providing additionat office space in the Village broadens the number of users within the Village and helps fulfill the goals of the development objectives. 2. The effec4 of the use on lighf and air, distribution of population; transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and o4her public facilities needs. Outdoor Dininq Deck No impacts. 19 t Office Use on Third Fioor No impacts. 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. Outdoor Dininq Deck Now that the dining deck has been reduced in scale and doe=; not encroach into the right-of-way further than the existing improvements, staff believes that the impacts on congestion, pedestrian safety, and traffic flow are reasonable. The Fire Department has approved the proposed deck and finds the encroachment into the Manson Ranch Road right-of-way acceptable. Office Use on Third Floor No impacts. 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. Outdoor Dininq Deck Staff believes that the outdoor dining deck will improve the character of the area and will be a positive addition to the Village. Office Use on Third Floor Staff acknowledges that the office use, as well as the other prc?posed uses, all contribute to the mass and bulk of the Serrano's redevelopment. We believe that this is acceptable, as long as: the office space,.continues to be used as office. Staff believes that the applicant needs to insure that the office space will not be converted to , residential. If this issue can be adequately addressed, staff believes that the use should be supported. B. Findin s - The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq findinqs before qrantinq a conditional use permit: • 20 ; . 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 code. Outdoor Dininq Deck Staff believes that Finding B1 is met as the purpose of the zone district supports the concept of outdoor dining decks. Finding 62 is met in staff's opinion as there will be no impact to public health, safety or welfare. Finding B3 is met, as ihe proposal complies with zoning code standards. Though the deck will be located above Town .right-of-way, the Town has a process to lease right-of-way to restaurant operators for deck space. . Office Use Staff believes that 61 is met for office use as the CCI Zone District encourages a variety of uses, including office. Finding B2 is met as there would be no impact to public health, safety or welfare. Finding B3 is met, in staff's opinion, as the office space would be in compliance with the provisions of the CCI section of the zoning code. Again, it will be critical that the applicants provide an assurance to the Town that the office space will not be used for residential purposes.. If this can be verified, then staff supports the use. VB1. FLOODPL,41N 4ViODIFICATION There is no longer a floodplain modification requested with the proposed development. VBIV. CONCLUSION In conclusion, staff recommends approval of the exterior alteration request. We believe that the analysis of the criteria above indicates that the proposed project is consistent with the Vail Village Urban Design -Guidelines and Design Considerations. Staff also believes that the project is consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan as well as with the Streetscape Master Plan. Staff also recommends approval of the conditional use for office on the third floor as well as the conditional use for the dining deck. Our recommendation of approval is based on the analysis of the criteria as well as the findings as discussed above. Staff also recommends approdal of the common area variance. 21 ~ However, staff recommends denial of the site coverage and stream setback yariarnces. Though some.of the criteria and findings can be met regarding the site coverage arid stream setback variance requests, not all of the criteria and not all of the findings can be fulfilled. If the PEC determines that the project does comply with the variance findings and criteria and ultimately approves the proposal, staff would recommend that the conditions listed below be included. Prior to final DRB hearing, the applicant shall: 1. Amend the drawings to include modifications to the southern Mill Creek bridge abutment to match the improvements made by the Town on the northern side; 2. Consolidate all utility pedestals and screen all utility equipment with shrubs. If utilities are to be relocated for any reason, the applicant shall return to the PEC for location approval. 3. Deed restrict the office area and construct in such a way that conversion to residential spaces will not be allowed. 4. Match the exterior staircase on the southern side of the site to the staircases the Town has recently completed in the Mill Creek (;ourt area. 5. Reduce the area of balcony on the fourth ffoor facing north if staff determines, after.reviewing the model, that the fourth floor needs better integration with the roof of the third floor. 6. Reduce the floor-to-floor ceiling heights by six inches to lower the building height by 2:5 feet. i:\everyone\peclmemos\serrano.313 22 • EXHIBIT A Chart 9 - Floor Area GRFA Commercial Common Area Office Restaurant Basement 2,926 sq. fl. 1,201 sq. ft. 1 st 1,989 + 969 sq. fl. . 124 + 392 + 170 + 300 sq. ft. 2nd 682 + 13 21812 sq. ft. 3rd 2,224 sq.

A request for a major exterior alteration in the Commercial Core I zone district and site coverage, stream setback and common area variances, floodplain modification and conditional use permits to allow office on the third floor and to allow an outdoor dining deck to provide for the redevelopment of Serrano`s, located at 298 Hanson Ranch Road/Lot C, Block 2, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: Margretta B. Parks and Vail Associates, Inc. Planner: Andy Knudtsen Greg brought the meeting back to order. Andy Knudtsen presenfed model to the public and commission in order to explain the project. Andy presented the staff memo. The most significant change noted was that a portion of the building's first, second and third floors had been removed at the northeast corner. Trees remain where they are, some trees to be transplanted. Overall size has been pulled back from property lines. Landscaping area increased. Flood plain modification no longer needed. Mechanical equipment uvill need to be screened. Building as currently designed is 83.9% site coverage. All criteria, concerns and statistics presented in staff inemo. Andy discussed the conditions of approval as outlined in the staff inemo. Andy reviewed some of the aspects of the proposal including that the service and delivery is coordinated with Golden Peak House from the basement. Roofs need to appear consolidated and uniform. Roofs also need to be integrated. Architect has taken third floor roofs and wrapped them up to . the fourth floor penthouse and created a unified wrhole. Depths of eaves is in conformance witti master plan. Facade has acceptable differentiation between first and second floor. Balconies railing has an alpine character and adds to character of building. No concerns regarding building accents. Aspen will be planted up next to the building. Staircase should be finished in sandstone. UValkways will be snow melted all the way around. This project is in conformance with the Vail Village Master Plan. Mark Donaldson responded to staff comments. Deed restriction to office space may not be the proper vehicle to use but rather CCR's on the condominium plat. Serrano's is on . leased land and the quiet party cannot enforce deed restrictions. Owner would like the 250 to apply to the office space for future owners. Reducing floor height by 6" is not something the architect is able to do and still accornmodate electrical, mechanical and plumbing for the building. Building height requirements are met without reducing floor height. Concerning the screening of inechanical equipment, alt roof top penetrations will come up through tinro stucco chimney elements in roof. May be able to extend a wing wall behind roof top exposures. Mark Donaldson discussed the site coverage variance. The developer wrill be providing a vvalkway, landscape improvements, snow melted brick pavers, drainage, TOV lights, removal of trash chalet, new east portal to Vail Village, stone bridge abutment, and preservation of landscaping on southwest corner. The difference between additions and rebuilding does not apply wrhen considering hardship. Variance is not negatively affecting issues. Impacts to Bridge Street and Hanson Ranch Road are not directly improved by reducing site coverage. Mark Donaldson discussed various other sites relative to this project. Greg Amsden asked the commission for questions. Dalton UVilliams stated that he appreciated the work Mark Donaldson had done in the past two weeks. Kevin Deighan asked what ceiling heights were in the office space and Mark responded with 8'. Henry Planning and Erniironmsrrtal Commission Rflarch 13,1995 - DraR Version 5 ~ ~ . Pratt asked how the offices could be approved with no exterior light. Mark explained the exception in the building code for exterior light. Mark stated they have removed about 1100 sf from the building in the last two weeks. Jim Lamont representing the East Village Homeowners Association, was conc;erned about equal and fair treatment of all property owners under the zoning code. ,Jim Lamont wondered why a stream setback variance was not required on the A&D buildirig. Andy stated a floodplain modification was required but not a stream setback varianc:e. Jim had a concern about doorways from residential usage to office usage. He said that there should be a physical separation/barrier. Mark Donaldson stated there would be separation. Jim stated he serves on the noise committee and was concerned about the dining deck and that a condition needs to be added that amplified noise from the deck should not exceed the legally adopted decibel level. Jim expressed concern regarding , handicap access on the South side. Glen Helan stated that they have an access easement agreement with Golden Peak House. and that Serrano's is storing trash on site. Jim expressed concern regarding the review of the hardship criteria referring to the variance. Jeff referred him to Tom Moorhead on that aspect. Paul Johnston, representing Christiania, was concerned about the stream setback. Andy explained issues between floodplain and stream setback. Paul's main concerri was the sound issue from the dining area and the patio doors around two sides of the building. Paul stated that he felt that the decibel level should not be violated and noise be self contained. He suggested the sliders be eliminated. Glen Helan noted they are concerned with noise issues. While they have had problems previously with Rod, the developer has called for specific buffering of noise belween levels. All night club operations will be in the basement. Oscar Tang discussed his two concerns. The first being the mass of the building which maximizes the lot size. This building measures 3.5 times the size of the lot anci the Red Lion is 1/2 if that. On a ratio basis, Serrano's is twice the size of surrounding buildings. With virtually no setback, the building goes straight up three floors. The Red Lion goes up one floor and back 30' to the second floor. The Golden Peak House affectecl his view, but he felt that it was good they created an SDD. Oscar Tang has concerns reyarding another.massive building next to the Golden Peak House. He also has a concern with common area variance. When he built the Red Lion, he eliminated 2500 sq. ft. under a permanent deed restriction to maintain the character of the village. His second general concern involved the consistency of what he was asked to do when developing the Red Lion building and the attitude of development in the Village. Clark Willingham, developer of Golden Peak House, agreed that some sort of noise restriction would be a good idea but that it should not be eliminated. Regarding the walkway, they will connect brick pavers on south side with Golden Peak House walkways. Golden Peak did make an agreement with Serrano's regarding trash removal arid eliminating the trash chalet. Golden Peak House will be under construction this spring. If both are done at the same time, Bridge street will be broken up less and tourists will be interrupted less. The east portal to the ski base is a plus. Mark Matthews, representing Mill Creek Homeowners, said that the building is a. concern to his homeowners. A lot of improvement has been done to the architecture since the last meeting but more could be done. Noise issue is a concern but he does not _ recommend a sterile environment. There are owners who come on a regular basis and, while they enjoy the night life, they try to get a good night sleep as well. He Planning and Ernironmental Commission March 13, 1995 DraR Version 6 1 v r~~ ~ J LnJ lT ~ recommended that the upper levels be stepped back to improve the development. Ron Riley, representing Gold Peak House commercial uses, said that he would like Serranos to be developed at the same time as their building to resolve many issues. He would like to see the whole end of bridge street redeveloped and feels it currently is an embarrassment to the Town. Vl/ould like improvements from Serrano's to be in place . before the fall of 1995. Glen Helan, appficant, stated that he would resolve the noise issue on Bridge Street. Also, he and his architects have uvorked writh staff and Jeff Winston in the last two weeks and reduced the number of conditions from 18 to 7. He stated that he would like to build the building in summer of 1995. With further delay, they may have to postpone construction of the building. Glen Helan thanked Andy for his assistance in the past two weeks. Andy presented regulations on the noise ordinance. The police department has had 16 complaints logged regarding noise violations at Serrano's. Mark Donaldson pointed out that the bar will be in the basement and the setback encroachment is below grade. The trash chalet will be moved inside and noise will be contained inside. Greg Amsden asked for PEC comments at this time. Jeff Bowen thanked the architect for his time and successful efforts in reducing the mass of the building. Jeff still. expressed problems with the site coverage and setback variances. Jeff stated that he would not approve the stream setback request. Jeff has no problems with exterior alteration and common area variance. Dalton V1/illiams thanked the architect for the paver walkway behind the building. Dalton was concerned with door on third level going from residence portion into the office space across from the door going into the stairwell. Mark explained a corridor is required for egress only door. Access to both stairs is required by both users. Dalton was concerned with the office having no exterior light on the third level. Dalton addressed Oscar Tang and commended him for his work on the Red Lion building and for ensuring that the Town got the best product. Dalton expressed that he would like to see the building a story shorter. Dalton did not like 83.9% site coverage. However, he would not deny the project because of the stream setback. Dalton had concerns with the office space. Dalton stated one of the major improvements would be the removal of the trash chalet and opening up the access to the stream. He supported the exterior alteration and agreed with staff on conditional use for the necessary common space. He did not agree with the use of the office space. Bob Armour did not agree with hardship of the stream setback being based on the size of the lot. He supported the exterior alteration, conditional use on third floor and common area variance. He continued to have a problem with site coverage and stream setback variances. The dining deck and conditional use were not problems. He said that he had trouble with the perceived hardships and would vote for denial. Kevin Deighan did not believe the office space would be leasable and wondered why a developer would be building it. Kevin questioned hours of operation on the exterior deck. Kevin supported the deck but has concerns regarding noise. Mark Donaldson corrected himself from an earlier statement and said that music would be in the basement ~nd on the dining deck. Kevin questioned what they could build without a variance and Andy Planning and E?rvironmsntal Commission March 13, 1995 Draft Version 7 stated that 750 square feet would have to be eliminated from the building above grade, which was approximately 250 from each floor. Henry Pratt did not support offices as presented. He did not have a problem with stream setback in this case as long as it was below grade and no degradation of the stream bed occurred. Henry had a problem with the \4ariance for site coverage. He alsa recommended operating hours be required for the deck. Greg Amsden stated that the developer could have come forward with an SDU . development and created a much larger building. Greg was willing to look at benefits to the Town from a pedestrian stand point. He felt the architectural changes have come a long way. Greg supported the exterior alteration. He felt that the conditional use for the office space needed to be recaniigured. Glenn Helan explained they would ncit create an office space they could not rent. Glen Helan stated their staff may possibly use that space. He felt the Town will benefit from the east access. Greg supported the variance for common area, site coverage, and stream setback. Greg stated that a restaurant would also be a benefit. On summarizing the Board's comments, Greg said that the dining deck (assuming compliance with noise ordinance) could be supported. The common area variance was not an issue to the commission. Office area layout was a concern to some-- specifically that the space would not be converted to residential in the future. Andy sugge.sted a deed restriction on the office space. Glen Helan said this could be addressed on the plat map or condo map. Jim Lamont expressed concerns with the site coverage and common area. The Commission discussed the conditional use regarding the office. Dalton Williams disapproved, Greg Moffit approved if it were reconfigured, Greg Amsden wanted to see an enforceable restriction to prevent it from returning to residential, Bob Armour disapproved, Kevin Deighan supported it if it could be enforced with a deed restriction and reconfigured, Henry Pratt approved. Concerning the site coverage variance, Dalton Williams approved, Greg Moffit approved, Greg Amsden approved, Bob ArmoLir disapproved, Kevin. Deighan approved, Henry Pratt disapproved. After some discussion, Dalton Williams made a motion that a request for a major exterior alteration in the Commercial Core I zone district and site coverage, stream setback and common area variances and conditional use permits to allow office on the third floor and to allow an outdoor dining deck to provide for the redevelopment of Serrano's, Iocated at 298 Hanson Ranch Road/Lot C, Block 2, Vail Village 1 st Filing be approved per the staff memorandum with finding that the variance for site coverage is acceptable in that the strict interpretation of the provision is not warranted because adjoining properties in the Town have exceeded site coverage and that the strict and literal interpretation is not consistent with the VVMP or the criteria of the Urban Design Guidelines. The conditions of approval were modified as follows: Prior to finat DRB hearing, the applicant shall: 1. Amend the drawings to include modifications to the southern Mill Creek Bridge abutment to match the improvements made by the Town on the northern side;. 2. screen all utility equipment with shrubs. If ui:ilities are Planning and Ernironmerrtal Commission March 13, 1995 Draft Version 8 U to be relocated for any reason, the applicant shall return to the PEC for location approval. 3. ~~urne~t su#~?~tttl~; ~ar th' TcDv~n's aSsuran~. fa ~nsuretha# deed ' ' . conversion vf;a.f1Ce to residential spaces will not be allowed. 4.

Reduce the area of balcony on the fourth floor facing north if sta##C.s~g.;RE.rier~; B~~~ci determines, after reviewing the model, that the fourth floor needs better integration with the roof of the third floor. 6. #eet: . 7. Document the proposed locations for the mechanical equipment are screened from viewr and are outside all adopted view corridors. The documentation shall be provided by a licensed surveyor. 4 8. Future operation of the exterior decks shall be in compliance uvith all municipal noise ordinances. • Greg Moffet seconded the motion. 5-1 Vote. Bob Armour opposed. Planning and Environrnantal Commission AAarch 13, 1995 Draft Version 9 MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Andy Knudtsen, Senior Planner DATE: March 16, 1995 SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF THE CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF SERRANOES BY THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ON MARCH 15, 1995 Andy Knudtsen presented the project, described the program of the building, ciescribed the specific aspects of the requests (variances, conditional uses, etc) and described the review process. Mike Arnett stated that the board would like to see a 4 x 8 board in the field for the final review showing all colors of the proposed building with the colors of the Golden Peak House so that the two can be compared. Greg Amsden asked a question regarding the restaurant deck. He wanted to Icnow if it could be reduced in size. Sally Brainerd stated that the deck was two times as deep as it should be. Shi3 also encouraged the architect in choosing colors to accentuate the contrast between the "ins and outs". She said the portions of the building that protrude should be lighter than the recesses. She summarized her comments by saying that the building works well and the architecture was done quite nicely. Mike Arnett began his comments stating that the colors should be slightly different from the Golden Peak House, but compatible. He recommended the applicant look at the difference between 44 Willow Place and Bishop Park as an example of different, but compatible colors. He suggested that the deck be cut back so that it was closE:r to the building, but not necessarily reduced in square footage. Mike stated he found the deck on the fourth floor to be acceptable and did not want to see it reduced in size, as cited by the staff in the conditions of approval of the exterior alteration. He said that by the final DRB review he wanted to see all the details of the mechanical equipment. Bob Borne said that the facades facing the entrance to the village were really very good. He agreed with Sally regarding the architectural character of the buildinca. He also agreed with other board comments regarding color treatment. He suggested that the deck could be softened by rounding the corners. Concerning shutters, he Caid that the area of the shutters should match the area of window framed by the shutters. He suggested that the amount of landscaping be increased in the park area. He summarized his statements by saying that the building looked really good, but iiad . similar concerns about the porch. The DRB had a general conversation regarding the landscaping and decided that the amount of landscaping proposed wras reasonable, but the aspen should be increased in caliper size or pfanted as multi-stem clumps. Hans Vlloldrich felt strongly that the deck, in scale, was too large and that it was the wrong geometry compared to the rest of the building. He also requested that all mechanical equipment be shown at the final DRB review. f:\everyone\andyUnemos\council.316 2 _ . , OSCar L.

This approach produces the follow_ng zesults: 1. The total flaor area of che Droposed building is 17,104 sauare feet, 3.7 times rhe lot size. zn contz•ast t1lie Red Lion bui3dir_g has a ratio of less than 2 times. The above ground (ex.basement) square footage ratia is 2.8 times lot size, about do~h1e the same ratio fcr the RFd Lion. While this ratio mav not be a zoning measure in vail, it often is elsewheze, and is a useful neasure.of the rnass of a build_nq, Ey this measure the proposed building is twice as massive as its imnediate ne~g'nbor•. 0 ` ~ 2.

Bseential to this end will be Category IIIwhich would ensure more reliable early and late aeasons for the community. At the eame time, TOV and VA w'ill need to ensure generally that the carrying capacity of Vail (hereinafter "the co=%unity") and Vail Mounta.in (hegeinafter °the mountain") are not exceeded duri.ng peak demand: TOV and VA have made notable strides in paEtt years to better control and manage such peak day experiences. The actual number of peak days has declined during recent years and the growth which haa occurred has been contained ia traditionally nonpE;ak seasoas. Certain progra.ms have helped to ease the impacts of traffic and parking (.q.g., the Holiday , Transportation and Parking Plan) or to ensure marE: comfortable skiing on the Mountain (-a•g•, vA'8 "mi3riage to" ekier capacity program). Building on these paet measures, TOV and V,A now wish to expand a.ad foznialize their ongoing discussiona through a more comprehensive peak and nonpeak management agreenent that will ensure that community carzying capacitiee are not exceeded. This Agreement can be incorporated within the general "manage to" framework that has been used by the Forest Service, TOV, an.d VA as part of VA's 1986 Special Use Permit. The Agreea?ent can ~ 3 - also be complemen~ary to the suecessgul impleanexatation of Caeegory YY% whach has the baeking a~ support og TOV as ta those i~sues t~~ impact che TAwne A.

TOV and VA reeagnize that SAOT will not always reflect communitY impacts and thus occasioiially must be weighed with other relevant factors. For ex,ample, if a maj or convention, a world championehip event, ar other special event were to occur durin-g the nonpeak ski season, iapacts co the Towa might be significant in spite of light skier use on the mountain. Additionally, if viaitozs, residents, employees or. property oarners do not carpool or rely on mass t=aneit, traffic-asaociated problems maY be severe in epit.e of ' relatively light occupaucy rates at local lodges or nuaibers of skiers on the mountain. While these asialytical limitatioas need to be appreciated, SAOT is still the best and eaeiest indicator of when the Town and Mountain are nearing capacity during the ski aeason. C. 19,200 SAOT as a BenchmaT of CaDagiSy• In the past, the figu.re of 19,900 SAO'r has been judged to be a valid benchmark of carrying capacity duriug the wiater aeason.

McCutcheon Tabm Cgerk ~~x TOTAL PA6E. 036 x~~x 5ta-ategies for the Futuree Town of Vail and Vail Associates INTRODUCTION In order to best serve the comrnunity (including residents, visitors, property owners and businesses) in the future, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates have begun to identify key issues necessary for the continued success of Vail and have created a plan to manage resort business growth. This plan will be implemented to aid various segments of the community in remaining economically healthy while maintaining Vail's quality of life. Events in the last 24 months have provided a unique opportunity for the Town of Vail and Vail Associates to discuss issues relating to growth and the future. New ownership and management of VA, changes in the community, planning for the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships and a renewed focus on growth issues on a local, regional and statewide basis have all made this an opportune time to re-focus the vision for the future. During Vail Mountain's first year of operation the company recorded 61,000 skier days. In the 1993-94 ski season, Vail Mountain hosted 11527,698 skier days. However, in the past 5 years, skier growth has slowed considerabiy, occurring at a rate of tess than 2% per year. Nevertheless, growth will continue to present new opportunities as well as issues regarding the future of Vail: o Are skier visits too concentrated in certain times of the season? ' 0 How can Town and mountain infrastructure stresses be properly managed? o Is the quality of life for residents being compromised by the growing popularity of the resort? 0 How can these issues best be addressed? With this in mind, Vail Associates and the Vail T'own Council have made a great effort to come together on planning, organizational and strategic projects. The two organizations felt it would be beneficial to ttte community to improve communications. TOV and VA are striving to coordinate efforts to ensure consistent quality since the guest sees Vail as a seamless entity, with no distinction among the mountain operations, lodging, restaurants, parking and bus service. Thus, it is important that Vail continues to focus on the environmentally sensitive high quality of life of its residents while sustaining its positive economic climate as a world renowned resort. PRIORTTIES AND GOALS The overall goal is to preserve the quality of the experience for guests, property owners and residents of Vail. In conceiving the plan for "continued 'success," members of the Vail Town Council and management of Vail Associates set out to establish common priorities. Those priorities include, but are not limited to, the following: o management of peak and non-peak skier periods o transportation and circulation o housing • open space preservation • coordination of long-range capital planning After formulating the above mentioned priorities, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates identified some of the short term and long term needs and issues facing the communit:y. on a year round basis. Although this is not a complete list of all issues that Vail faces, it is a start at establishing goals for looking ahead. They include: • managed growth needed for vitality and preservation of the characteristics that ha.ve made Vail a success • ambiance and pedestrian character of Vail Village and Lionshead • variety and caliber of shops, restaurants and lodging • circulation through town (including street projects, recreational path improvements and roundabout projects or other solution to the current 4-way stop) • accessibility to Vail: air and ground transportation • efficient use of parking and introduction of regional transportation (including parl; and ride sites for employees and skiers and encouraging carpooling) • accessibility to the mountain • development of loading and delivery system to enhance the pedestrian character • maintenance of quality of the environment (including air and water) • commitment to year-round marketing • ability to continue to attract and maintain quality .work force and the quality of life for the work force • maintenance of high guest service standards throughout Vail • enhancement of the skiing experience on Vail Mountain (including the completiori of the front side improvements, base area redevelopment and addition of reliable ski conditior.is and adequate, appropriate terrain for our guests, e.g. Category III) in order for Vail to maintain as a premier ski mountain • VA continues to support the concept of inerchant and student passes as a benefit to the community and will continue to address these programs on an annual basis RESEARCH Since 1979, Rosall, Remmen and Cares, (RRC) the Boulder based research firm has consulted with.both the TOV and VA. Through extensive focus groups and written surveys with guests, residents and employees, RRC has assisted and continues to assist VA in determining the level of support for a variexy of capital improvements. This effort.was conducted to aid management in updating the existini; Vail Mountain Master Plan, which led to the installation of the seven new detachable quad lifts, expansion.into.China Bowl, the Two Elk Restaurant and expanded Mid-Vail facility. The focus of these efforts is for the benefit of the guests, residents, property owners and busineCs community. In citizen focus groups and town sponsored community surveys for 1993 and 1994, citizens have identified the following priorities: water quality protection; preservation of open space; traffic congestion remedies including public transit; affordable housing; air quality protection; protection of stream flow; and water capacity to serve future population needs. Strong support for public transit is seen as a reflection of the desire to reduce traffic congestion as we;ll as to 2 a reduce pollution. The surveys also reflect a desire for minimal or managed growth, but not at the expense of quality of life of the community or quality of the environment. THE AGREEMENT As part of an ongoing process, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates have proposed an agreement designed to proactively manage growth issues in our community. This plan recognizes the need for continued economic prosperity, without adversely impact the mountain and town infrastructures. It commits to further enhancing the quality of the Vail experience, recognized as a key component to our mutual success. From the beginning, it was evident that the process must be two-fold, addressing both marketing and infrastructure. The agreement reflects extensive discussions between representatives of the Vail Town Council and Vail Associates; its action items were formulated after considerable study, analysis and debate. Nonetheless, the success of this agreement will require greater participation of other parties within the community. The agreement focuses on balancing visitor numbers throughout the ski season - instead of the ups and downs experienced in the past. While the reality of resort business is that peaks are inevitable, TOV and VA are striving to implement strategies for filling in the less busy times and becoming less reliant upon the peak times. The main goal is to protect against over-utilization during busy times and under-utilization during less busy times. By balancing the utilization, service needs can be predicted and addressed and staffing / employee opportunities can become consistent. The agreement addresses ways to manage ski season `peak periods' and `non-peak periods'. Peak periods are identified as the week between Christmas and New Year's Day and weekends from President's Weekend through the end of March. The peak periods can at times be accompanied by high influxes of cars, traffic and parking problems - all of which compromise the quality of the Vail experience. Non-peak periods are identified as all times outside of the `peak periods', including the early ski season, Thanksgiving, the pre-Christmas period, the January to mid-February period and the late ski season. During these periods of low to moderate use, the infrastructure, employment base, and economic opportunities of the community are underutilized. Strategies for non-peak periods include: o Aggressive and targeted marketing by VA, including promotional incentives with an International and Front Range focus • Cooperative programs with lodges to create packages o Value pricing programs • Cooperative marketing efforts with the resort associations, chambers of commerce, lodging associations and others • Creation of parking incentives, hosting of special events, and more cooperation with the community and merchant groups o Addition of needed early season snow quality and adequate, appropriate terrain for our guests, e.g. Category III and enhanced front side snowmaking 3 Strategies for peak periods include: . • Limiting or adjusting promotional ticket incentives and marketing campaigns • Extending mountain operation hours • Increasing emphasis on public transportation use, including working with Eagle County to increase reliance upon vans and other public transportation to and from the Eagle County and Denver International airports and within TOV while encouraging rediiced reliance upon rental cars (A comprehensive plan will be developed by no later thai1 September 1, 1995) • Adjusting parking and ski pass policies • Staggering employee work hours • Recognizing that peaks also occur in the summer season. Proper management of non-ski related events is critical to ensuring the quality of the Vail experience. • Continuing Holiday Management Plan, adopted in 1993 and successfully implemented in 1993 and 1994, to reduce employee traffic by offering parking incentives to those who car pool and free bus passes for riders during the Christmas peak • Improving the community's and guests' experience on the mountain by better dist:ribution and circulation of skiers, e.g. Category III • Improving skier access to the mountain from Vail Village, Lionshead and Golden Peak in order to reduce strains experienced in the past In addition to operational coordination, out of this process it became clear that it is ire the community's best interest to coordinate capital projects. A description of upcoming projects • follows on pages 7 and 8. TOV infrastructure improvements such as the roundabouts at main Vail and West Vail intersections and VA infrastructure improvements such as Category III have been recognized as key items which will help to implement the strategies. All major infrastructure improvements are intended to enhance the quality of life for residents and the quality of the experience for guests. The roundabout concept has emerged from a long list of possible solutions as the most viable and cost effective solution to safety, congestion and circulation problems experiencecl at the Main Vail and West Vail intersections. The modern roundabout achieves high capacity in a compact space, largely because of entry flare. Unlike a signalized intersection, in whxch only one or two movements occur at the same time, a roundabout allows all entries to wo.rk simultaneously with no lost time between movements. It is anticipated that the roundabout will most efficiently absorb current loads at the main Vail interchange. TOV and VA agree that the current situation must be improved upon and believe that the roundabout is the solution best suited for Vail. Category III, part the original permitted ski area, is the third phase in Vail Associates' 1962 and 1986 Master Development Plan. Over 50% of Vail's skiers are classified as intermediates with this trend on the rise, while Vail Mountain provides only 35% of its terrain for intermediate skiing. The Category III area will ensure snow quality with intermediate and advanced bowl skiing opportunities during the early and late season. and greatly improve skier distribution throughout the ski season. It has high elevation, north- facing, gladed and open bowls and is not expected to significantly increase the number of skiers on peak days, consistent with the trends over the last 5 years. The Category I:[I 4 6 . 0 approval process with the United States Forest Service began in 1984. Through the public scoping process, there have been five public hearings hosted by the USFS and Vail Associates and numerous other public sessions, discussions and tours. Two of the five sessions were presented at Town Council public hearings. The town infrastructure issues raised through the public input process have been intensely studied over the last two years and addressed through the agreement. The agreement provides for the creation of an assessment committee (made up of representatives of TOV and VA) which, through an extensive monitoring program, will consider the effects and impacts of the non-peak and peak period programs. The monitoring program will include demographic profiles of skiers, traffic and parking analysis, nonpeak marketing analysis, hotel occupancy assessment, service level ratings and more. The Assessment Committee will provide general advice regarding methods, as described in the agreement, in which the community can maintain and preserve its position as a premier resort. Constant re-evaluation will be a key part of the committee's work, gaining input from the community and via the Town Council to assure that the goals of the agreement are reached as we move forward. TOV and VA have also agreed to jointly appoint a broad-based community task force by September l, 1995, to explore additional mechanisms to better utilize existing resources dunng the nonpeak periods. This task force will report on a semi-annual basis to the Assessment Committee. TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION Transportation and circulation are critical to managing peak and non-peak periods, as the number of skiers attracted to the mountain directly affects the traffic conditions during the day. However, other circumstances in town (weather, commuters, special events) not directly related to on-mountain activities affect transportation and circulation. TOV and VA have developed methods to reduce the likelihood of traffic congestion through the following programs: 0 The lift ticket tax has been in existence in Vail since 1966. The lift ticket tax demonstrates a partnership unique in the ski industry and has enabled TOV to provide such transportation amenities as its free bus service. In 1994, lift ticket tax revenues were approximately $2 million. TOV and VA acknowledge that alternative future transportation and circulation needs are substantial. Accordingly, other local, state and federal revenues will be required to supplement lift tax revenues. TOV and VA agree that as the creation of additional lift tax revenues, transportation grants and other revenue sources allow transportation revenues to exceed in any given year the cost associated with TOV's bus services, such supplemental revenues will be available for use by TOV for other priority transportation and circulation needs. o TOV construction of roundabouts or similar alternatives to the Main Vail four-way stop will facilitate the flow of traffic to and from town. VA has pledged $500,000 toward this project. VA will also cooperate to make the project more cost effective by working collectively with TOV and/or providing independent services on a not- for-profit basis to assist in portions of the project. This contribution represents VA's commitment toward solving what research has identified as the main traffic and circulation problem in Vail. 0 Vail Associates has agreed to assist the Town in obtaining state and federal funding for the West Vail roundabout. 0 Golden Peak improvements will provide a more viable portal to the mountain. TOV supports Vail Associates' conceptual ideas which include improved circulation of 5 ~ pedestrian and vehicular traffic which will be part of the Golden Peak redevelopment and ' which will benefit the community and guests. The joint efforts by VA and TOV vvill facilitate achieving the goals presented in the Streetscape Plan, Vail Village Mastf:r Plan and Transportation Master Plan. • Vail Associates and Town of Vail agree that if any future efforts by Vail Associates to modify its USFS pernut on Vail Mountain result in increasing the allowable SAOT (skiers at one time), Vail Associates will participate on a fair share basis in the addition of neede;d parking structures. At the same time, the Town of Vail will continue to improve the efficient use of existing winter parking situation through aggressive management techniques. ~ VA and TOV will actively pursue park and ride sites for their employees and employees of the community. As part of this effort, TOV and VA will develop cooperative relationships with public and private institutions to utilize appropriate parking sites which are available. • VA supports all efforts toward the consolidation of the various bus and otHer transportation ' systems into a regional transportation authority. VA will use its best efforts to cause the Beaver Creek Resort Company to continue to make appropriate contribution. HOUSING Affordable housing is an issue in all Colorado resort towns. TOV and VA are committed to maintaining and expanding resident housing particularly within the Town of Vail. TC)V and VA have begun or are pursuing the following programs: VA Initiatives • Currently provides over 650 affordable housing spaces for its employees in Lake Creek Villas, Eagle Bend, Eagle Bend III, The Tarnes, Timber Ridge and Sunbird.Lodge (275 within the Town of Vail) • Participation with other public and private groups in the development of Lake Creek Villas, Eagle Bend and Eagle Bend III o Development of second-mortgage program to promote first-home purchases by employees • VA commitment.to participate in the Vail Conunons development similar to VA's participation in Eagle Bend in Avon 'I'OV Initiatives • Goal is to create permanent deed restricted quality units for residents and employees • Vail Housing Authority, formed in 1991, to assist in exploring available options fbr employee housing • Employee housing ordinance, established in 1992, providing incentives for the crtiation of units ranging from 300 to 1,200 square feet.

OPENSPACE As demonstrated by recent community surveys, the residents of Vail feel strongly about the preservation of open space. VA has agreed to deed to TOV several parcels of green space and stream tract land that will remain permanent open space within the Town of Vail. LONG-RANGE CAPITAL PLANN7NG Realizing that capital improvements on the mountain or in town have far-reaching effects, TOV and VA have tried to coordinate their goals in order to maximize the benefits of each project. Emphasis is placed on developing capital projects that will help address the above issues. Nonetheless, these plans may change due to the development of new priorities. The main emphasis of Vail Associates' tentative five year capital plan is to continue to ensure the reputation of Vail NTountain as a reliable quality skiing experience. The planning is three fold: to improve the efficiency of base area and mountain circulation, to improve the quality of service amenities on the mountain and to secure reliable and consistent snow conditions and skiing experience during the early, middle and late seasons. VA puroposed capi$a9 parojects, 1995 - 1999: 0 The replacement of Chairs 3, 6, and 10 with high speed quads. 0 The proposed redevelopment of the Golden Peak base area, designed to alleviate the pressures currently experienced. 0 Subject to Forest Service approvals, the construction of the lifts and trails in Category III. o The improvement of on-mountain dining at Mid Vail. 0 The Eagle's Nest redevelopment, including the replacement of the gondola with a high speed gondola and the potential redevelopment of the Lionshead gondola building. 0 Water augmentation, allowing VA to begin a three year snowmaking expansion to guarantee early season skiing. 0 The plan for numerous smaller projects to supplement the above mentioned list. The Town of Vail's five year capital program attempts to address needs at the neighborhood level in addition to a number of large-scale improvements town-wide to maintain Vail's resort quality. In addition, the Real Estate Transfer Tax is used as a separate fund for purchasing and improving open space as well as building and maintaining bike paths. 'lCOV proposed capeta9 pro,pects, 1995 - 1999: 0 Construction of the main Vail roundabout or similar alternative. This project will reduce delays at the main Vai14-way stop and will significantly increase the carrying capacity of the intersection. It will also improve the aesthetic and enhance the appearance of Vail's `front door'. o The.renovation of the Covered Bridge. Portions of the bridge suffering from decay will be replaced. Rock abutments and new lighting will help improve the appearance of this area. 7 . . • Purchase of eight low-floor busses for use on the in-town shuttle. The low-floor buses will reduce loading time and significantly increase the capacity of the in-town system. Additional busses will replace existing buses on the Town of Vail system. • Replacement of the Pulis Bridge (golf course entrance). This bridge is functionally obsolete and will be replace with a new, wider bridge. 0 Complete reconstruction of streets in Matterhorn, Lionsridge, Golf Course and East Vail. • Consideration and revision of Land Use Plan and Master Plan and Design Guidelines for the . Lionshead area. • Renovation of Public Works facility. • Reconstruction of the East Lionshead bus stop. Emphasis will be placed on pede:ctrian safety and improvement of skier drop off as well as aesthetic improvements. • Construction of improvements at the West Vail interchange. • Consideration of Simba Run underpass. • Construction of a fire station in the West Vail area. • Remodel of the Vail Transportation Center. • Improvements to streetscape, including addition of street lights in Vail Village and. Lionshead. • Improvement to landscaping on Gore Creek Drive in Vail Village. CONCLUSION The main objective of the agreement and the joint efforts of the Town and Vail Associates has been to create systems to better manage resort business growth issues in the community while protecting against over-utilization during busy times and under-utilization during less busy times in the ski season. Through this effort of balancing utilization, service needs can be predicted and addressed and employment opportunities can become more consistent Town of Vail a.nd Vail Associates recognize that their joint work does not address all of the issues facing the Vail community now and in the future, but feel that their joint efforts have opened up avenues for discussion and have established some attainable goals for the future. The participation of the business community, property owners and residents in pursuing these solutions is critical. 8 a ORDIIVANCE iVO. 7 Series of 1995 AN ORDINAiVCE REPEALIIVG ARID REEfVACTING ORDINAiVCE NO. 16, SERIES OF 1993; AiV ORDIIVAiVCE AMEiVDING SPECIAL DEVELOPNAEIVT DISTRICT NO. 5 AfVD PROVIDIIVG FOR A DEVELOPfViEiVT PLAN AND ITS COfVTEfVTS; PERMITTED, COPVDITIONAL AND ACCESSORY USES; DEVELOPfVIENT STANDARDS, RECREATION AAAENITIES TAX, AIVD OTHER SPECIAL PROVISIOfVS; AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN REGARD THERETO.

Bob Armour and I both voted against the measure, however with three new members, it passed, partly beca.use, in my observation, the new members did not yet have an understanding of the history of the variance request and the relevant applica.tion of the zoning ordinance to the matter. I understand and am delighted that you have had the foresight to call the matter up for further consideration and I decided it would be appropriate for me to express my reservations on the matter, which might help your deliberations. There are three basic items which are unacceptable for the redevelopment, in my judgment: the first is the fact that at that location there is no reason to allow a site coverage variance to overbuild the site. They have gotten close in this last iteration--to about 84% from 95%--but the zone district has an express limit of 80%, and from a public policy sta.ndpoint, there is no hardship that has been demonstrated which warrants greater site coverage. The Covered Bridge building is a good comparable--no variances. The second item is the fact that there is a significa.nt intrusion into the stream setback. Notwithstanding that it is essentially underground in this last iteration, I am of the opinion that stream setbacks should be sacred and inviolable, for they provide beauty and the pedestrian ambiance which have been hallmarks of Vail. The third, and somewhat less significant objection to the current iteration, is the office space, which is proposed to be about 700 square feet. It looks windowless and it is evident, to my mind, that the space only works as an ancillary to the condominium. So it is my guess that shortly after the building is completed a GRFA variance will be requested, to enfold the office into the condominium. The building should therefore be cut back by 700 square feet which will provide a less massive, more angular, and therefore more attractive structure. The folflovaang does not specifically relate to the Serrano's building, but discusses an image in Vail, which includes it. It is very important for Vail to retain its pedestrian feel. I said this at a PEC meeting earlier, that when one comes off Aspen Mounta,in or Mount Werner at Steamboat, both base areas are quite uninviting and almost hostile. Vail, on the other hand, has kept a scale and feeling that invites apre-skiers to visit shops and resta.urants. The ambiance is unique and quite extraordinary, and I think 0 is one of the reasons for Vail's spectacular success. Though I would vastly prefer Bach, Beethoven or Brahmsl, the music which is performed in proximity to the street adds to the ambiance, and it should not be abolished. But real control of volume needs to be established, as it is evident, in the summer, that the performers attempt to compete with each other by turning up their amplifiers, which really destroys the ambiance. What I would suggest, in addition to requiring that all entertainment use accoustical sound systems designed by an engineer, is to create a modification of the sound ordinance, where the fine squares itself each time a conviction for a noise violation is handed down, perhaps reverting to an original sum each January first. That might get the attention of violators and would provide additional funds to monitor the noise. I do think that "canned" speakers should be abolished. They really do destroy the ambiance and create a honky-tonk atmosphere. Keep up the good work. I was delighted to read of an impending partnership among the TOV, VA and the Forest Service, to manage growth over the next years. That sort of relationship affords progress which is pragmatic and visionary. Now let's generate some employee housing. 1 such as a string quintet in the evenings at Seibert Square ~ 0.

The PEC voted 5-1 this week to approve the applicant's proposal to demolish the existing building and replace it with a new structure. There were seven conditions of approval. The Council, which typically reviews all large-scale projects, will consider the matter at its March 21 evening meeting. For more information, contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Discussion of Draft Animal Control Ordinance After a lengthy discussion, the Council decided against extending a blanket leash law for dogs town-wide and agreed to consider a compromise proposed by Nlunicipal Judge Buck Allen. The compromise would allow dogs to "opt out" of a town-wide leash requirement after completing a one-time certification administered by Eagle County's Animal Control Department. The Town of Vail contracts with Eagle County for animal control services. The existing ordinance requires dogs to be leashed in designated areas only, including Vail Village, Lionshead, bike paths and recreational areas. Eagle County Animal Control Director Bob Slagle had recommend a town-wide leash law to improve enforcement. But several Council members, including Jan Strauch, said the change was too urban and would infringe upon mountain lifestyles. Slagle said he welcomed the certification suggestion, calling it a proactive and workable solution. However, a West Vail resident who attended the meeting said the certification would add an unnecessary level of bureaucracy. Also yesterday, the Council asked Slagle and Town Attorney Tom Moorhead to review and refine, as needed, the ordinance definition of "under control." Other modifications proposed to the animal control ' ordinance include additional protection, enforcement and penalty actions related to dangerous dogs; regulation of horse-drawn carriages; and an accelerated citation (more) , . . Council Highlights/Add 1 process to handle barking dog complaints. The Council will consider the revisions again at its April 18 evening meeting. In a relafed discussion, the Council agreed to explore the possibility of creating a. franchise for horse-drawn carriage services throughout town. For more information on the animal control ordinance, call Bob Slagle at 949-1568 or Town Attorney Tom iVloorhead at 479-2107. --Vail iVonpoint Source Water Quality Management Plan The Council reviewed a draft of a water quality management plan that addresses storm water runoff and its impact on Gore Creek. The study found increased concentrations of salt, phosphate, ammonia, nitrate and other chemicals commonly found in fertilizer compounds. The levels have increased over the past 10 years, especially in residential areas. Senior Environrriental Planner Russell Forrest said the report identifies a trend that if not checked, could cause future problems, such as loss of aquatic life; increased algae growth along Gore Creek; and increased water treatment costs. The report lists several policy solutions, including an education process; revision of town codes to control discharge of hazardous materials and waste; erosion control; and protection of riparian areas and wetlands. Recommended engineering solutions include: a regular sweeping program for streets and parking lots; use of grass strips and creation of . wetlands; creation of a maintenance schedule for catch basins; development of minimum criteria for erosion control on construction sites; use of porous pavement materials; and water quality improvement techniques for parking area and large commercial areas. The study was funded, in part, by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency with assistance from the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments. The next steps include revising the plan and bringing it back to the Council for adoption. For more information, contact Russell Forrest in the. Community Development Department at 479-2138. . --Council Reports _ Merv Lapin said he had met with State Rep. Jack Taylor and State Sen. David Wattenberg to express concerns about a water-taking measure under consideration in the legislature. Tom Steinberg suggested sending a letter to the legislature in opposition of the bill and sending someone to testify. Also, Lapin reported on a meeting he attended with representatives of the Vail Recreation District (VRD) to receive an update on the operational status of the Nature Center and the Youth Services program. Lapin said he reiterated the Council's desire to see a reduction in the VRD's mil_I levy if programs are reduced or are redirected to . other agencies or organizations. --Information Update Council members received an update on a$40,000 grant awarded to the Celtic Festival • by the Special Events Commission. Event organizer Tom Britz of Vertical IVlarketing is scheduled to attend the April 18 Council work session to outline a request for in-kind (more) Council Highlights/Add 2 services to be performed by the town. The September event could draw as many as 30,000 people to Vail. --Other The Council reacted favorably to suggestions to discuss the status of efforts to construct a pertorming arts center in Vail and the status of the Berry Creek Fifth parcel. Jan Strauch was designated as the Council representative in attending a meeting to explore a scenic train route from Avon to Aspen. # # # o , r c ' /T MAR 14 1995 US.

I am strongly opposed to the new Amendment for the following reasons: 1. The proposal appears to be closing fne doar on ofhers Qfter ihe very influential and qffluent have taken advantage of additional square footage.
