C:WGENDA.TCE MEMORANDUM TO: The Vail Town Council FROM: Community Qevelopment Department DATE: October 1, 1996 SUBJECT: An appeal of a Planning and Environmental Commission decision granting an approval of a request for a front setback variance to allow for the construction of four triplex buildings, located at 1894 Lionsridge Loop/Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge Filing #3 (Vail Point Phase III). Appellant: Phyllis Mango, adjacent property owner Appellee: Steven Gensler and Stephen Katz Planner: George Ruther 1. SUBJECT PROPERTY Vail Point Phase III, located at 1894 Lionsridge Loop/Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge Filing #3. 11. STANDING OF APPELLANT Pursuant to subsection 18.66.030 (13)(2) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, an appeal may be initiated by "an appl+cant, adjacent property owner, or any aggrieved or adversely affected person from any order, decision, determination, or interpretation by any administrative official with respect to this title." Staff finds that the appellant, Phyllis Mango, an adjacent property owner to Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge 3rd Fi(ing, has standing to file an appeal of the Planning and Environmental Commission's decision of August 26, 1996, granting an approval of a front setback variance. III. BACKGROUND On August 26, 1996, the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission, upon conducting a public hearing, granted an approval of a request for a front setback variance to allow for the construction of four triplex buildings, located at 1894 Lionsridge Loop/Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge Filing #3. The Planning and Environmental Commission's decision to grant approval of the requested variance was based upon the findings that: • the granting of the variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege, inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the Medium-Density Multi-Family Zone District. • that the granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public's health, safety or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 1 • The variance to encroach into the front setback was warranted since the strict and literal enforcement of the 20' front setback regulation would result in an unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the goals and objectives of Chapter 18 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. Upon making the findings, the Planning and Environmental Commission voted unanimously to approve, with modifications, the applicanYs request for a front setback variance. The Planning and Environmental Commission's approval carried with it the following conditions: 1. That the applicant scheduie a hearing before the Vai1 Town Council for review of the proposed site plan, prior to appearing before the Town of Vail Design Review Board, as required in the Annexation Agreement of July 17, 1979; 2. That the applicant verify the vacation of the 15' wide, utility easement along the northerly property line prior to appearing before the Town of Vail Design Review Board; 3. That the applicant receive Town of Vail Public Works Department and Town of Vail Fire Department approval of the proposed site plan prior to appearing before the Town of Vail Design Review Board; 4. That the applicant install a construction fence, along the 40% slope line and the area around the existing landscape improvements, to protect these areas during the construction process, and that said fence not be removed until all driveway and building construction is completed; and 5. That any encroachment of Building #1 into the front setback be removed and the site plan be amended accordingly. A copy of the memorandum prepared by staff to the Planning and Environmental Commission, dated August 26, 1996, and a copy of the approved minutes from the August 26, 1996 Planning and Environmental Commission meeting have been attached for reference. IV. NATURE OF THE APPEAL On September 4, 1996, the Town of Vail Community Development Department received an appeal letter from Jennifer Henise and Phyllis Mango, requesting that the Planning and Environmental Commission decision granting an approval of a front setback variance to allow for the construction of four triplex buildings, located at 1894 Lionsridge Loop/Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge Filing #3 be appealed to the Town Council. The appeal has been filed pursuant to Chapter 18.66 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. Ms. Henise and Ms. Mango filed the appeal as adjacent property owners. On September 5, 1996, the Community Development Department received a letter from Jennifer Henise requesting that her name be withdrawn from the appeal of the Planning and Environmental Commission's action. According to a written explanation of the reasons for the appeal, the appellant argued that the Planning and Environmental Commission's decision granting an approval of the front setback variance is inconsistent with Section 18.18.010, (Medium-Density Multi Family, purpose), of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. According to Section 18.18.010, the purpose of the Medium- 2 Density Multi Family Zone District is, in part, to insure adequate light, air and space and to maintain desirable residentiaf qualities of the district. According to the appellanYs letter, she feels that adequate light, air, and space is denied, since the proposed triplex structures are too close to one another and the triplexes are too close to the neighboring Capstone Townhouse property, where she owns a unit and resides. The appellant further believes that the triplexes wifl be "touching" mature 20-year old Blue Spruce trees and some selected trees will be moved in order to build the triplexes. Additionally, according to the appellant, the proposed development for the four triplex structures completely take up all the buildable land of Lot 27 and provides no open space between the buildings and adjacent properties. The appellant further contends that the three-story buildings will be "towering" over Capstone, which is 10'-20' lower in elevation than the appellee's property. Lastly, the appellant has expressed concern, and has requested that consideration be given to snow removal on Lot 27. A copy of the appellanYs appeal request and a letter describing the nature of her request has been attached for reference. V. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL Uphold/ uphold with modifications/ overturn the Planning and Environmental Commission's decis+on granting an approval of a front setback variance. The Town Council is required to make findings of fact on this appeal in accordance with Section 18.66.030 (D)(5), Findings: " The Town Council shall on all appeals make specific findings of fact based directly on the particular evidence presented to it. The findings of fact must support conclusions that the standards and conditions imposed by the requirements of this title have or have not been met." VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Vail Town Council uphold the Planning and Environmental Commission's decision of August 26, 1996, granting an approval of a 12' front setback variance. - Staff recommends that the Town Council make the following findings: 1. That the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing on the requested front setback variance in accordance with Chapter 18.66 Administration and Chapter 18.62 Variances, and has made the appropriate findings pursuant to Section 18.62.060 Criteria and Findings of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. 2. That the standards and conditions imposed by the requirements of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code have been met. 3. That the proposed development plan for Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge Filing #3, has been approved by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission and is in compliance with Section 18.18.010 Purpose, Medium Density Multi-Family Zone District of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. 3 ~''7~~ E; ~ ~ ? ._,c .

We feel that adequate light, air, and space is denied by 1) the triplexes are too close to themselves and 2) the triplexes are too close to the neighboring Capstone Townhouse Property, and 3) the triplexes will be touching mature 20 year old blue spruce trees and some selected trees will be moved in order to build the triplexes. The plan of four triplexes has completely taken up all buildable land allowing for no open space between buildings and inadequate space between neighbors. Three story buildings, 30 feet away, will be towering over Capstone which is 10 ta 20 feet lower. Neighboring residences are surrounded by a great amount of open space. Another cansideration is that drainage and snow removal will adversely affect the Capstone property.

Please notify all to whom it may concern. Thank you. Sincerely, J q4 Jennifer Henise ~ MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: August 26, 1996 SUBJECT: A request for height and front setback variances to allow for the construction of four triplex buildings, located at 1894 Lionsridge Loop/Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge Filing #3 (Vail Point Phase III). Applicant: Steven Gensler and Stephen Katz Planner: George Ruther 4 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. General Descri tp ion Steve Gensler and Steve Katz are proposing to construct four, triplex units on Phase III at Vail Point. Phase III is zoned medium density multi-family. The four, triplex structures will be served by a common driveway, 22' wide, with an emergency vehicle turnaround at the south end of the driveway. There will be a total of 12 dwelling units comprised of 21,614 sq. ft. of GRFA. The units will range in size from 1,783 sq. ft. to 1,804 sq. ft. Staff will discuss specific components of the development under the analysis in Section IV of this memorandum. The applicants are proposing to construct two of the four structures in the required, 20' front setback. One of the structures encroaches up to 12' into the front setback, while the other encroaches up to 9' into the setback. A total of 286 sq. ft. of building footprint area will be in the front setback. According to Section 18.18.060 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the minimum front setback for structures built in the Medium Density Multi-Family Zone District shall be 20'. Therefore, the applicants are requesting a variance from Section 18.18.060, to allow for the construction of two structures to encroach into the 20' required front setback, up to 12' and 9' respectively. The applicants have stated that the location of Lionsridge Loop in proximity to the northerly property line warrants the granting of the requested variance. A letter from the applicants addressing their position on the variance has been attached for reference. The applicants had originally requested a building height variance to allow one of the four, triplex structures to exceed the allowable building height of 38'. The applicants have since withdrawn their building height variance request. Therefore, staff will not be addressing the building height issue in this memorandum. 1 B. Process When Vail Point was annexed into the Town of Vail, the Annexation Agreement dated July 17, 1979, (Book 428, Page 936) stipulated that there would have to be a review of each proposed site plan by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC), the Vail Town Council and the Design Review Board (DRB) for each phase of the Vail Point project. Though the process is similar to a Special Development District (SDD), the proposal is not an SDD. Furthermore, the annexation ordinance did not specify review criteria. However, applicable criteria for this project include the standards for the Medium Density Multi-Family Zone District, general goals addressed in the Town of Vail's long-range planning documents and the Design Review Board Guidelines (Chapter 18.54) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The annexation agreement permits 15 dwelling units and 19,462 sq. ft. of Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA), plus credits of 225 sq. ft. per dwelling unit for Lot 27. Under the proposed design, there are 2,700 sq. ft. of credits as there are 12 dweiling units. By adding the credits to what is allowed, ihe total allowable square footage for Lot 27 is 22,162 sq. ft. of GRFA. II. BACKGROUND OF THE VAIL POINT PROJECT The Vail Point Townhome development (formerly Talon Townhomes), Phases I, II and III, was annexed into the Town of Vail on July 17, 1979. Ordinance No. 29, Series of 1979, addresses the annexation. Upon annexation into the Town of Vail, Lot 27 (Phase III) was designated Medium Density Multi-Family zoning with the conditions outlined in the annexation agreement. The review process was defined at the time the project was annexed into the Town of Vail, as described in Section I of this memorandum. The Vail Point Townhome development is comprised of three phases. Phases I and II are located on Lot 1, Block 3, which is on the north side of Lionsridge Loop, and Phase I II is located on Lot 27, Block 2, which is across the street, on the south side of Lionsridge Loop. According to the annexation agreement, Phases I and II were approved for 48 dwelling units, while Phase III was approved for a maximum of 15 dwelling units. - The list below summarizes the history of the Vail Point Townhome Project: Phase I Phase I, as constructed, includes 20 dwelling units having a total GRFA of 27,759 sq. ft. It is completed and final certificates of occupancy have been issued. Phase II As originally approved, Phase II called for the construction af 20 dwelling units having a total allowable GRFA of 28,045 sq. ft. In September of 1989, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a modification to the plan to decrease the number of dwelling units by one and increase the total GRFA allowed by 750 sq. ft. This approval resulted in the overall total allowable GRFA for Phase II to be 28,795 sq. ft. The 750-sq. ft. of additional GRFA granted by the Planning and Environmental Commission to Phase II was required to be deducted from the total allowable GRFA for Phase III. 2 On June 8, 1992, Steve Gensler proposed a modification to the approved plans for Phase II. This plan was approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission and was subsequently constructed. It included a total of 28,682 sq. ft. of GRFA in 18 dwelling units. The difference in GRFA (113 sq. ft.) was to be transferred back to Phase III. A large portion of this was used at a later time by a 96 sq. ft. interior expansion to the Katz residence in Phase il. The 96 sq. ft. expansion left only 17 sq. ft. of GRFA to be transferred back to Phase 111. Construction in Phase II is not complete. Phase III Originally, there was 19,445 sq. ft. of allowable GRFA (plus credits) allocated for Lot 27 (Phase III). The total allowable GRFA has been increased by 17 sq. ft. to 19,462 sq. ft. plus allowable credits. There is a credit of 225 sq. ft. per dwelling unit for units constructed in this zone district. On June 13, 1994, Steve Gensler appeared before the Planning and Environmental Commission with a request for a worksession to discuss the construction of four, duplex units on Phase III. At that time, the applicant was proposing to reduce the total density on the property from the allowed 15 dwelling units to 8 dwelling units. The Planning and Environmental Commission discussed at length the site plan for Lot 27. Of most importance, was the preservation of the existing landscape improvements, constructed by the owners of the Cappstone Townhomes, along the southerly property line of Lot 27. Additionally, the Planning and Environmental Commission was interested in seeing the developer keep a minimum of 15' of separation between each structure constructed on the properry. The Planning and Environmental Commission did discuss the possibility of granting a front setback variance to allow several of the structures to encroach into the front setback, in order to preserve the existing landscaping along the southerly property line. It is important to note that the discussion was preliminary, and a more specific application would need to be submitted for review by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The Planning and Environmental Commission was specifically concerned that the applicant needed to exhibit the existence of a physical hardship, allowing the granting of a variance at the time of final review. On June 13, 1994, a motion was made to table the discussion to the July 27, . 1994 Planning and Environmental Commission meeting. On Septernber 12, 1994, the applicant requested that the item be tabled indefinitely, to allow the applicant _ time to address the numerous issues identified by the Planning and Environmental Commission. On August 12, 1996, Steve Gensler appeared before the Planning and Environmental Commission with a request for a front setback variance, to allow for the construction of two of the four structures to be built in the required, 20' front setback. One of the structures was proposed to encroach up to 19' into the front setback, while the other structure was proposed to encroach up to 17' into the front setback. A total of 832 sq. ft. of building footprint area was proposed to be bui{t in the front setback. After a lengthy discussion on the proposed front setback variance request, which included public testimony from adjoining property owners, the Planning and 3 Environmental Commission voted unanimousiy to table the applicanYs request to a subsequent meeting, to allow the applicant time to redesign the site plan. The Planning and Environmental Commission members agreed that a hardship existed on the property, thus permitting the applicant to encroach into the front setback, however, the Planning and Environmental Commission members did not feel that the hardship warranted a 19' and 17' encroachment into the front setback. The Planning and Environmental Commission requested that the applicant reduce the amount of encroachment into the front setback. A copy of the draft August 12, 1996 Planning and Environmental Commission minutes addressing the applicanYs request have been attached for reference. III.

CRtTER1A AND FINDINGS Upon review of Section 18.62.060, Criteria and Findings, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested setback variance. The recommendation for approval is based on the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: i. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. 4 Phase III of the Vail Point Townhomes is approved, per the Annexation Agreement of 1979, for 15 dwelling units and 22,162 square feet of GRFA. The proposed density of Lot 27 (Phase III) is compatible with the density of the other multi-family projects in the vicinity (Vail Point Townhomes Phases I& II and the Capstone Condominiums) The applicant has proposed to construct 12 dwelling units comprising approximately 21,614 square feet of GRFA. The applicant has proposed to construct the four, triplex buildings as far to the north as possible to maintain an adequate separation between the Capstone Condominiums to the south, and to preserve the existing landscaping and landscape improvements encroaching on to Lot 27. This has been proposed as a result of worksession meetings with the PEC in June of 1994. !n order to maintain the existing landscaping and provide an adequate separation between the proposed structures and the existing condominiurns to the south, the applicant has proposed to encroach up to 12' into the 20' front setback. Staff believes the requested variance is reasonable, as the applicanYs lot is severely impacted by steep slopes and encroachments onto the property. Approximately 1.265 acres (60%) of the total 2.1037 acre lot has slopes greater than 40%, or is within required setback areas. Staff further believes the requested variances will have minimal, if any negative impacts on the existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Lionsridge Loop is constructed within a 70' wide right-of-way. The actual width of pavement is 22' to 24' . The road, as constructed, is all the way to the north side of the right-of-way, and therefore, approximateiy 50' of right-of-way is located between the edge of existing asphait and the applicanYs north property line. Staff believes that the 50' of vacant right- of-way will act as a sufficient buffer between Vail Point Phases I and II, Lionsridge Loop and the proposed structures. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege. Staff believes the applicant has requested the minimum amount of retief necessary from Section 18.18.060 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code to attain the objectives of this title without resulting in a grant of special privilege. Setbacks are intended to provide, in part, minimum separation belween structures and uses, and to insure adequate light, air, and open spaces and maintain desirable residential qualities. Staff believes the requested variance to encroach into the front setback up to 12' is in concert with the intended purposes of setbacks. Staff further believes that there are extraordinary conditions and circumstances (steep slopes, existing landscape encroachments, proximity of Lionsridge Loop) that apply to the applicant's site warranting a granting of a setback variance. 5 Staff has had conversations with the applicant regarding the siight shifting of structures to reduce the encroachment into the required setback area. Staff would suggest that the PEC discuss with the applicant the ability to reduce the amount of setback encroachment through slight site plan modifications. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The staff believes the requested varianoe to encroach into ihe front setback wi(( have positive impacts on existing development in the area. Siaff believes the variance will allow for greater separation between the proposed structures and the Capstone Condominiums, without negatively impacting Phases II of the Vail Point Townhomes to the north. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall m ke the following findings before grantina a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special priviiege 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 or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the applicanYs request for a variance from Section 18.18.060 to allow the construction of finro structures to encroach into the 20' required front setback up to 12' and 9' respectively. Staff believes the applicants have met the Findings necessary for the Planning & Environmental Commission to grant an approval of their request. Specifically, staff finds that the applicants have met Finding B.1 in that the granting of the requested variance will not result in the grant of special privilege. Finding 6.2 has been met, in the opinion of the 6 staff, since the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and that Finding 6.3(b) has been met since there are extraordinary circumstances, in the form steep slopes and existing landscape improvements, which precludes the applicant from developing the lot to its full potential. Additionally, Finding 6.3(c) has also been met, since the strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the other property owners in the same district. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to grant an approval of the requested variance, staff would suggest that the PEC find that: 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 zone district, and; 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, and; 3. That the variance is warranted since the strict literal enforcement of the front setback regulation would result in an unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of Chapter 18 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code.

LOT 27, LLC VAIL, COLORADO July 15, 1996 Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Attn: Mr. George Ruther Re: Property Line Set-back Variance Dear Sir: The relationship of the requested variance to other existing users or structures in the vicinity will have no adverse effect whatsoever. I am requesting the ability to maximize the buildable area of the site. Lionsridge Loop when constructed is outside the road right-of-way to the north. Therefore, Lot 27, Block 2, Filing 3 northem most property lines are in excess of 50' offthe road. Our request is to be able to build up to the northern property line which will a11ow for more spacing between four triplex buildings being proposed. The 20' set-back requirement is to provide some buffer between roads and developments. Allowing this variance will still provide a 50' set-back from Lionsridge Loop. In this case the variance will actually improve spacing and allow more buffer from Cap Stone, which is along the southern property line of Lot 27. The property is zoned medium density for development of up to 14 dwelling units. Our proposal is reducing by two the number of units while using the GRFA square footage allowed. - Enclosed for your review is the site plan with improvement elevations. As this request relates to property line set-back variance the exterior design of the units will add some Gables to the front of the buildings. This will be shown in the design review board submittal. Thank you for your consideration of our proposal. Sincerely, XS 1 t APPRQYEPS'Ep a 9 ~ PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION - August 26, 1996 Minutes MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: Greg Moffet Henry Pratt Susan Connelly Greg Amsden Mike Moliica Galen Aasland Dorninic Maurielio John Schofieid George Ruther Gene Uselton Judy Rodriguez Diane Golden Public Hearing 2:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by Greg Moffet at 2:00 p.m. 1. A request for height and front setback variances to allow for the construction of four triplex buildings, located at 1894 Lionsridge Loop/Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge Filing #3. Applicant: Steven Gensler and Stephen Katz Planner: George Ruther George Ruther gave an oveNiew of the request. At the August 12, 1996 PEC meeting, the applicant had requested variances of 17' and 19' respectively, to encroach into the front setback. After a lengthy discussion, the PEC voted unanimously to table the request until the applicant redesigned the project with less encroachment into the front setback. The PEC was generally agreeable to permitting some form of encroachment, but agreed that the amount requested was excessive and needed to be reduced. George went on to explain that the applicant had come back with a reduction from 17' and 19', to 12' and 9' of encroachment. Buildings have been shifted on the site plan. One of the concerns from the 1994 request and the August 12, 1996 PEC meeting was the emergency vehicle turnaround at the southerly portion of the site. The developer has pulled the turnaround out of the setback area, in order to provide snow storage, which the Fire Department has approved. There are three 10' tall Lodgepole trees that need to be moved. It is up to the PEC to decide a location on the site that would work, so the trees can be preserved on the property. Greg Moffet asked if the applicant was here. He was not present. Greg then asked for any public input. Phyllis Mango, owner of Capstone #1, reviewed what happened 2 years ago when the Commission rnet. Mr. Gensler has not increased the space between the buildings, nor has he stayed away from the gardens. He wants to move trees, that are 15' tall, only 5', which is not much of a move. He plans to put them on boulders. Trees do not grow on boulders. We would like to suggest not moving the trees. In 1979, Rocky Christopher planted those trees as a barrier to benefit both parcels. I have a letter here•from him`and from Mr. Toffel to do so. Capstone has an implied easement to use that property~_. ,~i: - Planning and Environmental'Commission Minutes ' August 26, I 996 1 . < Greg Moffet asked if the document had been recorded? Phyliis said, no. Greg Moffet said then that was a legai issue between the parties and that the PEC could not recognize anything that was not recorded. Phyllis Mango said at the last meeting it was impiied that we were trespassers. We were granted the licensed easement from Mr. Toffel. We spoke with him in Tucson. Those are our trees. You can't take away someone's license. I ask you to search your conscience. This is an issue of only 5', but it has a huge impact. I ask you to stand by your environmental titles. Greg Moffet asked for any other input. Steve*Gensler said we have tried to redesign the project to get as far away from the front setback as we could. As far as Capstone, we readjusted the buildings and only need to transplant one tree. We went over the new drawings with the Vail Point owners. We wanted Buifdings 7, 8 and 9 to slide into the setback. We are only taking away the highway view from the Lionsridge Loop homeowners. The problem with the homeowners is the tot lot. They don't want it, but prefer to store snow there. The tot lot is sitting right next to a cliff. The only way to get a CO is to get signatures from the homeowners stating that they don't want the tot lot. They deserve to have COs. We would like to put snow next to Building # 7, storing it on our property down below instead of building more units there. We have tried to listen to comments from the PEC in our redesign. - Galen Aasland stated there was a hardship because of the steepness of the lot. With regard to Units 1, 2 and 3; there is no hardship and therefore, no way to support a variance. I would like to see you address the trash issue and snow storage better. You can't put all the snow in the hammerhead. A suggestion for Unit #7 might be to take off the dining room . I feel sorry for the Capstone units. The Capstone owners have been given a gift for many years. It will cost Capstone some money to deal with this, since Mr. Gensler has a right to develop his property. I would like to see as much landscaping maintained there as possible. Diane Golden would rather have the front variance and leave 7, 8 and 9 where they are. Phyllis, with regard to Capstone, it is beautiful back there and lovely and i feel they will be able to ksep everything, except some of the trees. I agree with Galen as it is the developer's right. John Schofield echoed the comments. Rocky Christopher knows enough about real estate to have recorded the document. Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are ok. Gene Uselton asked the developer if he considered interchanging Units 1, 2 and 3, with 11 and 12? Steve Gensler said 1, 2 and 3 don't bother anyone. I would like to use wider units for profit reasons, but if narrow units are the only way io get this approved, I will do narrow units. Gene Uselton asked if snow storage would be a probtem down on Buffer Creek and how is garbage removed from each unit? . ~ . Steve Gensler said, yes, garbage will be emoved from each unit. . Planning and Environmental Commission • Minutes h. August26.1996' 2 i 2 J Greg Amsden para(leled John Schofield's comments regarding rearranging 1, 2 and 3. You must architecturally modify the product to keep it out of the setback, based on the developer's desire. Greg doesn't have a problem with 7, 8 and 9. Greg Moffet said specificaliy 10, 8 and 9 reduce the totai variance. Now you need to make the Unit 1 encroachment go away. Building # 7's encroachment is ok, because of the hardship. Regarding the landscaping in the back; if Phyllis thinks they have an easement, then they must go and find out. As it stands here, iYs a straight case of private property. Mr. Gensler has a right to do what he wants. I get the feeling from the commission that Unit #1 has an encroachment that must go away. George Ruther said the location ot 8uildings 1, 2 and 3 becomes a DRB issue. The 3 trees that are proposed to be moved on the site plan, can be moved 5'. Is that plan acceptable, or would the PEC desire the trees to be moved somewhere else? Greg Moffet asked for inch for inch tree loss mitigation which is appropriate for the DRB to handle. Greg Amsden asked Phyllis if she might want the trees moved onto the Capstone site. Phyllis Mango said the purpose of the trees was to be a shield between the parcets and would just like them to survive the move. Steve Gensler said we would work with Capstone to move the trees. Greg Moffet said the trees need to live, or be replaced. Diane Golden asked if the trees could be moved anywhere on the property or on Capstone's property? Greg Moffet said iYs up to Steve where the trees go. Phyllis Mango wants a working solution and would like to have the trees higher up on the wall to benefit the new owners. Steve Gensler said since they are Capstone's trees, Capstone can move them wherever they want. He doesn't want to be responsible for the trees. Phyllis Mango asked about the bonding issue. Greg Moffet said we require a bond sufficient to have the trees live, or be replaced. We do transplant a lot of trees; iYs not uncommon. Phyllis Mango said it negates that idea, if he's putting it in our laps. Galen Aasland made a motion for approval to grant a variance for Unit # 7 for only a 12' encroachment, because it meets the variance criteria . Before the applicant goes to the DRB, they need to submit a snow removal plan, bond for 3 evergreen trees for a period of two growing seasons, assure no stone wall, on Mr Gensler's property, be at a height greater than 6'. . . - . Planning apd Environmcntai Commission Minutes August 26, 1996 3 ~ v`- ' . .j Gene Uselton seconded the motion. Galen Aasland amended the motion to add that the staff recommendation, on page 7 of the staff memo, be included in the motion. Gene Uselton seconded the amended motion. Greg Moffet stated so included and so moved and asked for any other input. Gene Uselton said that it was reasonabie and equitable for the Capstone residents to have the opportunity to move the trees where they like as an alternative to the bond. Galen Aasland said the bond was required of Mr. Gensler, if he moved the trees. George Ruther said if Capstone wants to move the trees at their own expense, Steve Gensler would grant them the right to come on to his property to do so. Staff woutd not enforce the bonding on the developer, if Capstone moved the trees onto their property. Galen Aasland asked if Mr. Gensler would be subject to the replacement of those trees on his property, if the trees were removed from his property? Greg Moffet said we are referring to the trees as Capstone's trees. 1Ne are not making a judgement as to who owns those trees. John Schofie.ld said we would allow Capstone to move the trees at their own expense. Greg Moffet said that that was implied in the motion. The motion passed unanimously by a vote of 6-0. Phyllis Mango asked who will move the trees? Mike Mollica said that Steve Gensler would determine that and present it to the DRB. 2. A request for a major SDD amendment to allow for the enclosure of a roof deck located at 12 Vail Road/Lot N, Block 5D, Vail Village 1 st Applicant: Vail Apartments, Inc. Planner: George Ruther George Ruther gave an overview of the request and presented the two main issues; the view from the roundabout and the compatibility of the addition with the architecture already existing on the Gateway Building. We have received an approval letter from the Vail Gateway Condo Association for Unit 5 to enclose the exterior deck. The Association has no objection to this proposal. Greg Moffet said because it is an SDD, there is not a cap on the GRFA. ; - , Plaming and Emironmental Commission • Minutes , August 26,1996: 4 ~ . r West Vail Interchange Preliminary Construction Cost Estimate Item Item Cost Roadway $7309000 Retaining Walls $6309000 Bridge $1,090,000 Drainage & Utilities $4409000 Surveying, Design & Permits $4009000 Construction Management & Testing $5459000 Landscaping $7509000 Construction Traffic Control $2509000 Mobilization & Contingencies $6659000 Project Total 1$595009000 1997 1998 Task Name S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N Notice to Proceed ~ 10/14/96 : Preliminary Design Field Inspection Review ~ 11/29/96 (FIR) Final Design , Final Of~ice Review (FOR) ~ 1/31/97 Advertise Project Award Construction 0 3/15/97 Contract Begin Construction ~ 4/1/97 Phase 1,2,and 3 Construction Complete Major ' ~ 11/1/97: Construction Phase 4 Construction ? ?

A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, September 3, 1996, in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:35 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT: Robert W. Armour, Mayor Sybill Navas, Mayor Pro-tem Kevin Foley Rob Ford Mike Jewett - Paul Johnston Ludwig Kurz MEMBERS ABSENT: TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney Holly McCutcheon, Town Clerk The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Town of Vail resident, Jo Staufer stated that while his in-laws (ages 90 and 91) were in Vail recently, the most enjoyable part of their visit was the streamwalk. Jo suggested the Town finish the stream walk from Ford Park to Lionshead. Next, Audrey McLean, a resident of the Village Center condos distributed a letter to council members regarding noise and drunken behavior in the Village. She said the noise was caused by Garton's Saloon and other amplified sound, which, she said had been unbearable over the past three years. Item number two on the agenda was the Consent Agenda which consisted of the approval of the minutes for the meetings of August 6 and 20, 1996. Paul Johnston moved to approve the Consent Agenda with minor changes, and Sybill seconded the motion. A vote was then taken and approved unanimously, 7-0. Third on the agenda was the appointment of one Local Licensing Authority member to fill an unexpired term to expire June, 97. One letter of interest was received from M. Kathy Vieth. Rob moved to appoint Kathy to fill the unexpired term due to terminate June, 1997. Sybill seconded the motion and a vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Agenda item number four was Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1996, first reading of an Ordinance Amending Title 18 Zoning, Sections 18.24.020, 18.24.030, 18.24.040, 18.24.050, 18.27.030, 18.28.030, 18.28.040 and 18.29.030 of the Zoning Code to Add Brew Pub as a Conditional Use in the Commercial Core 1, Commercial Core 2, Commercial Core 3, Commercial Service Center and Arterial Business Zone Districts and Delete Brew Pubs as a Permitted Use in the Commercial Service Center Zone District of the Vail Municipal Code. Mayor Armour read the title in full. Town of Vail Planner, Dominic Mauriello presented the item and provided the following background: The applicant, Vail Associates, Inc., was requesting a Zoning Code amendment to allow brew pubs as a conditional use in the Commercial Core 2(CC2) zone district (Lionshead commercial area). Brew pubs were a permitted use in the Commercial Service Center (CSC) zone district (Crossroads commercial area) for establishments operating without off-site sales and as a conditional use for brew pubs with off- site sales. He continued, stating the permitted and conditional uses for the CC2 district reference the uses in the Commercial Core 1(CC1) zone district (Vail Village commercial area) and therefore both districts should be amended. Dominic said that a comprehensive analysis of all of the Town's commercial districts was done by staff to see if brew pubs would be an appropriate and compatible use in other districts. Based on the analysis staff believed that brew pubs should be listed as a conditional use in all of the commercial zone districts including: Commercial Core 1(CC1), Commercial Core 2 (CC2), Commercial Core 3(CC3) (West Vail commercial area), Commercial Service Center (CSC) and Arterial Business (ABD) (Glen Lyon commercial area) zone districts. Dominic explained that it was staff's belief that with the current definition and existing limitations, brew pubs could be a positive and compatible use in the CC1, CC2, CC3, CSC and ABD zone districts. The PEC, at its August 12, 1996 1 Vail Town Coundl Evening Mee6ng Minutes September 3, 7996 . meeting, unanimously recommended approval of the proposed amendment, and the recommendation of staff was also was for approval of Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1996, on first reading, he said. Mayor Armour noted for the record a letter which was received from Jim Lamont representing the East Village Homeowners Association, opposing the proposed amendment in CC1 because of an unresolved dilemma of truck delivery in the Village. PEC member, Greg Moffet was on hand to answer questions and stated it was in his opinion a very appropriate use for the CC1 district. Mayor Armour stated that operating a brew pub was not a use by right, and applicants would have to apply for conditional use permit. Paul Johnston spoke about the unresolved dilemma of truck delivery and potential problems which could occur because of off-site consumption, delivery, and sales. Paul then moved to approve a modified version of Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1996, excluding the CC1 zone district from the ordinance. Sybill seconded the motion. Mike Jewett then asked if CC1 would then be discussed separately at a later time and Mayor Armour explained that the intent was to not allow brew pubs in the CC1 zone district at all. A vote was taken and passed 4-3, Rob Ford, Bob Armour, and Kevin Foley voting in opposition. Fifth on the agenda was Resolution No. 16, Series of 1996, a resolution determining the necessity of, and authorizing the acquisition of an easement for street and sidewalk use on land owned by the Lodge at Lionshead by either negotiation or condemnation for Town public purposes. Mayor Armour read the title in full. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead presented the item, and provided the following background: The Town of Vail had recently opened bids for a street project to take place in the area of the Town of Vail Library and Dobson Arena. Th e street project would require a temporary construction easement and a permanent street easement on property that is owned by the Lodge at Lionshead, Tom said. The Town of .Vail had been involved in negotiations with the Lodge at Lionshead through its Property Manager, Jeff Bailey, and that an appraisal of the fair market value was being completed by Shields Appraisal Services. He said the town planned to enter into an agreement for immediate possession at which time the fair market value.as determined by Shields would be tendered to the Lodge at Lionshead in exchange for immediate possession. It would then be incumbent upon the association to acquire the agreement of its unit owners as to the fair market value of the easements in question. In the event that such approval is not forthcoming, it may become necessary to file an action in the Eagle County District Court for a final determination as to the fair market value. Staff's recommendation was for approval of Resolution No. 16, Series of 1996. Larry Grafel spoke regarding the necessity of the easement, its use for public purpose, and said it was essential to complete the project. Tom presented a color coded map depicting the temporary and permanent easement sites, which Larry reviewed with Council members. Rob Ford moved to approve Resolution No. 16, Series of 1996, with a second from Paul Johnston. Kevin Foley thanked Suzanne Silverthorne for sending out a media release informing the public of upcoming construction projects. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Agenda item number six was Resolution No. 17, Series of 1996, a resolution determining the necessity of, and authorizing the acquisition of an easement for street and sidewalk use on land owned by the Vail das Shone Condominium Association by either negotiation or condemnation for Town public purposes. Mayor Armour read the title in full. Larry Grafel presented the item and stated it was necessary to acquire a temporary construction easement and a perpetual nonexclusive access easement over property which was owned by the Vail das Shone Condominium Association for access to the development and improvements taking place on Vail Commons. An appraisal of the fair market value of the easements was being completed by Shields Appraisal Services. The fair market value of the easements would be tendered to the association in exchange for immediate possession of the property involved in the easements. Negotiations befinreen various affected entities including WestStar Bank, a tenant of Vail das Shone, had been productive and Larry said he anticipated such negotiations would result in agreements for immediate possession. In the event Vail das Shone Condominium Association was unable to receive the approval of all the unit owners, it might be necessary to file an action in the Eagle County District Court for a final determination on the fair market value. The staff recommended 2 Vail Town Council Evenin9 Meeting Minutes September 3, 1996 ~ . Council adopt Resolution No. 17, Series of 1996. Town Manager Bob McLaurin explained the easement would provide interior circulation to the project. Sybill then moved to approve Resolution No. 17, Series of 1996 and Ludwig Kurz seconded the motion. A vote was taken and passed 6-0-1, Mike Jewett abstaining. Agenda item number seven, was Resolution No. 18, Series of 1996, a resolution determining the necessity of, and authorizing the acquisition of an easement for street and sidewalk use on land owned by the Vail Golf Course Townhomes Phase I by either negotiation or condemnation for Town public purposes. Agenda item number eight was Resolution No. 19, Series of 1996, a resolution determining the necessity of, and authorizing the acquisition of an easement for street and sidewalk use on land owned by the Vail Golf Course Townhomes Phase II by either negotiation or condemnation for Town public purposes. Agenda item number nine was Resolution No. 20, Series of 1996, a resolution determining the necessity of, and authorizing the acquisition of an easement for street and sidewalk use on land owned by the Fallridge Recreational Facilities by either negotiation or condemnation for Town public purposes. Resolution Nos. 18, 19, and 20, Series of 1996, were then considered simultaneously. Mayor Armour read the titles in full and Larry Grafel reviewed a diagram depicting the easements which would give right of way for the road itself, and stated such easements were required to complete the project, a housekeeping item, he said. Rob Ford moved to approve Resolution Nos. 18, 19, and 20, Series of 1996, and Sybill seconded the motion. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Tenth on the agenda was a report from the Town Manager. Bob McLaurin stated he had nothing to add to his memorandum. Larry Grafel then described improvements scheduled to begin later in the week near the library and the ice arena. Improvements were to include adjustments on rock walls in front of the arena, repaving, widening the chute to create a sidewalk, drainage improvements, installation of a hydronic snow melt system, and landscaping. Council was then asked by Town Manager, Bob McLaurin to authorize a transfer of funds from the East Lionshead Bus Stop project to complete the $452,000 project. Sybill moved to approve the fund transfer as requested, and Ludwig seconded the motion. Kevin Foley confirmed three large trees were to remain and that a rock wall would be built around them. Mayor Bob Armour advised Council members review and be aware of the Blue Ribbon Panel Report, a panel appointed by the Governor which identifies the long term transportation needs for the state. There being no further business a motion was made for adjournment and the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30 p.m. A public service announcement was then made and Council members reminded the Channel 5 viewing audience of the upcoming activities associated with the Vail Tomorrow project.

MINUTES VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING September 17, 1996 7:30 P.M. A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, September 17, 1996, in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:40 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT: Robert W. Armour, Mayor Sybill Navas, Mayor Pro-tem Kevin Foley Rob Ford Mike Jewett Paul Johnston Ludwig Kurz MEMBERS ABSENT: TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney Holly McCutcheon, Town Clerk The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Josef Staufer, Town of Vail resident and owner of the Vail Village Inn expressed his concerns about plans for employee housing units proposed at Red Sandstone on property owned by the water district and land to be exchanged to the Town by the U.S. Forest Service. Mr. Staufer said he supported employee housing and noted that he paid in excess of $10,000 per month to help provide such housing for his staff, but stated he objected to selling such units for private ownership. Staufer said that as an involved party in Action Vail, the group is opposed to public lands being sold for private ownership. He used Pitkin Creek as an example of units constructed for the purpose of employee housing, which, he said are now owned mostly by second homeowners and non-employees. Mr. Staufer suggested the Town of Vail retain ownership of the project and rent the units out. Town Manager, Bob McLaurin, explained that many decisions remained yet to be made with regard to the Red Sandstone project. He stated that Council would be reviewing details more thoroughly and would have an opportunity to make decisions during upcoming meetings scheduled throughout November. Next, Vail resident, Sue Dugan suggested marking the lanes of the roundabouts at the Main Vail interchange. Also, she said the issue of animal control needed improvement, in particular dog waste. Ms Dugan said she noticed improvement when "clean it up" signs were placed in her neighborhood and suggested the town erect more signs throughout the community. Finally, Ms. Dugan addressed the need for a bus stop between the Wren and Apollo Park, stating it was unsafe to walk that distance on South Frontage Road in the winter. Dugan then introduced the Wren's General Manager, Lisa Watts. Lisa announced she had scheduled a meeting with Public Works Director, Larry Grafel to address the concern. Ms. Watts said the situation was very dangerous due to the lack of a sidewalk. Additionally, she said the streamwalk was not maintained in the winter and was too slick to be used. Sue Dugan then referenced a letter which had been faxed to Council members regarding the Buddy's program, and encouraged all to participate. Next, under citizen participation, Michael Jewett appeared before fellow Council members on behalf of the Common Sense for the Commons Committee. Mr. Jewett reviewed the history of the group and its initial purpose to persuade the Council to put the project up to a vote of the citizens. He said fundraising had always been an issue for individuals involved with the committee, and explained that members had wanted the matter to go to a vote. When it didn't, the committee wanted the project investigated for legal issues and retained Hugh Warder, a Glenwood Springs attorney, to investigate the original request for proposal ("RFP") process, and contract negotiations, among other issues. Jewett said he was before Council to announce that because of costs involved, and the potential of the matter being tied up in a lengthy lawsuit, his group would be dissolving the Common Sense for the Commons Committee and their fundraising efforts. Jewett was critical about the RFP process, and said he did not believe the town sent out 50 RFP's as he had been told. He said he would have preferred a department store such as Target as an anchor to the project as opposed to City Market, one that would not have competed with retail business in West Vail. He recommended the issue of competition be taken into consideration by Council in the future. Additionally, Jewett expressed his disappointment that the Council failed to recognize a. petition which was brought in, asking for a public vote on the project. He then announced the issue was over and suggested everyone move on. Lars Berkhout, a resident of Sandstone said he worked with Mike Jewett and complimented the project, but complained about the huge wall of plaster on the west side. He said he hoped that in the future citizen input would be taken into consideration, and suggested that at the time petitions were presented, some motivations of Council 1 Vail Town Counal Evening Meetlng Minutes September 17, 1996 members seemed suspicious. Next, Dan Charboneau, camera operator for Vail Valley Community Television and a Vail resident, announced his departure from Vail to return to the East Coast. He complimented the Council for keeping the interests of the citizens in mind and thanked the Council for its support of Channel 5. Mayor Armour then commended Dan on his expertise, a job well done, and wished him good luck. Item number two on the agenda was a status update on the Vail Tomorrow process. Bob McLaurin gave a brief update following the Imagine Vail Tomorrow Community Conference which was held on Saturday, September 7, 1996. He said more than 130 people attended the conference in which participants identified 11 goal areas for the project: world class resort, natural & built environment, growth management, safety and security, building community, economic diversity, affordable housing, cultural and educational opportunities, youth, family and regional cooperation. He said procedures had included drafting goal statements for the 11 areas and doing research, and that during the following month information would be gathered on each of the goal areas for Vail and three comparison communities (Aspen, Whistler, and Sanibel, Florida). The information would then be shared at the next conference, "Describe Vail Tomorrow," scheduled for Nov. 1 and 2. The purpose of the research would be to describe how Vail and other would-class resorts fare in each of the goal areas. Bob said it was important for people to understand the need to participate in the next conference to make sure their voices were heard on the issues that are important to them. After the November conference, teams will form around prioritized goal areas and action alternatives suggested and will begin making recommendations for action. Mayor Bob Armour commended all those who organized and participated in the recent conference. Third on the agenda was Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1996, first reading of an Ordinance amending Special Development District No. 21, the Vail Gateway Building, and amending the development plan in accordance with Chapter 18.40 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code and setting forth details in regard thereto. The applicant, Vail Apartment, Inc. (Owners of Unit 5) was represented by Steve Riden. Town of Vail Planner, George Ruther presented the item and described that pursuant to a memorandum from the Community Development Department staff to the Planning and Environmental Commission, dated August 26, 1996, the initial SDD approval allowed for the construction of 12 dwelling units and consisted of not more than a total of 13,000 sq. ft. of GRFA. He said the developer chose to construct only seven dwelling units, utilizing a total of 11,999 sq. ft. , leaving 1,001 sq. ft. of the approved GRFA and 5 dwelling units which were not constructed. A remodel of a unit in the fall of 1995 added 356 sq.ft., increasing the total GRFA contained within the building to 12,355. George explained that the applicant was now proposing to modify Unit No. 5, adding another 460 square feet of new GRFA, which would result in a new total GRFA for the Gateway project of 12,815 sq. ft. He said such request would require a major SDD amendment, and the Council was asked to review certain criteria as follows: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. George then distributed a letter from Norman Helwig, attorney at law, representing the interests of the Vail Gateway Plaza Condominium Association, which stated that the approval of the Association for the approval of the addition to Unit 5 had not yet been received, but was expected at an upcoming meeting of Association members. The staff recommendation was for approval of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1996, on first reading with the following conditions: 1) that the applicant be required to provide Community Development with an approval letter from the Vail Gateway Plaza Condominium Association, prior to scheduling the second reading of the ordinance; and 2) prior to scheduling second reading of the ordinance, the illegal, neon illumination on the directory sign located on the west side of the Gateway Building, be removed and brought into compliance with the original DRB approval. Steve Riden, on behalf of Vail Apartments, Inc. (owners of Unit 5), stated he had no objections to the approval, but was concerned with the condition of the neon sign being brought into compliance. He suggested it could be handled in a different manner, such as a citation, rather than including it as a condition of approval, as the owners of Unit 5 had no authority to require the removal of the sign. Sybill Navas asked Town Attorney, Tom Moorhead, for his opinion, and Tom stated there were are a number of different routes that could be taken. However, he felt that placing the condition as referenced above was the Town's first best opportunity to bring it into compliance. If it did not work, he said, then the town would proceed with the citation process. Paul Johnston moved to table Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1996, until such time as approval from the condominium association was received and the sign was in compliance. Rob Ford seconded the motion. Sybill said she was inclined to vote for passage of the ordinance on first reading with conditions stated. Ludwig said he felt there were to many inconsistencies and would go along with tabling the ordinance. Mike Jewett was in favor of staff's recommendation and moving ahead with approval on first reading along with the conditions suggested. Paul again moved to table Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1996 until such time as the application was complete and an agreement reached to bring the illegal neon sign into compliance. A vote was taken and passed, 5-2, Sybill and Mike voting in opposition. Agenda item number four was Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1996, Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1996, second reading of an Ordinance Amending Title 18 Zoning, Sections 18.26.040, 18.27.030, 18.28.030, 18.28.040 and 18.29.030 of the Zoning Code to Add Brew Pub as a Conditional Use in the Commercial Core 2, Commercial Core 3, Commercial Service Center and Arterial Business Zone Districts and Delete Brew Pubs as a Permitted Use in the Commercial Service Center Zone District of the Vail Municipal Code. Town of Vail Planner pominic Mauriello 2 Vail Town Council Evening Meetin9 Minutes September 17, 1996 s , introduced the item and presented a modified version of the ordinance, which excluded the Commercial Core 1 area, as moved by Council at first reading of the ordinance on September 3. Rob moved to approve Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1996, with a second from Sybill. Kevin Foley said the reason he was voting against the ordinance was because it excluded the Commercial Core 1 zone district. Mayor Armour also felt that staff could control establishments applying for a brew pub businesses on an individual basis, if the Commercial Core 1 zone district was included in the ordinance. A vote was then taken and passed, 6-1, Kevin Foley opposed. Fifth on the agenda was a report from the Town Manager. Bob McLaurin explained that the existing signage at the main Vail roundabout was temporary, and that new signage would be installed within the next couple of weeks which woutd comply with Federal Highway Administration and Department of Transportation standards. He also talked about Council goal setting, issues and strategies, and his feeling that the Vail Tomorrow process was an important component in achieving Council goals which were defined last February. He then encouraged all to stay involved. There being no further business a motion was made for adjournment and the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:50 p.m. Respectfuliy submitted, Robert W.

With the proper equipment on your home, school or office computer, CDROM's provide an added multimedia dimension to standard computer software. The library is the first in the region to include a portion of its CDROM collection in its circulation. The decision, said Susan Boyd, assistant library director, is a result of customer interest. "This is something our users have been asking for over the last year," she said. "It's the kind of technology many people in our community have incorporated into their leisure, educational and business pursuits." The town library will begin immediately by circulating approximately 30 CDROM's. Present topics include travel, games, education, sports and nature. The materials, worth $500, were donated by individual supporters. If the materials are well-received, Boyd said the library will consider increasing the size of its CDROM circulation over the winter. Vail library patrons have been exposed to CDROM's since the late 1980s when a magazine index CDROM was installed. Since then, the CDROM materials have (more) RECYCLED PAPER r Town of Vaii Library/Add 1 increased to over 30 items including Colorado statutes, Morningstar Mutual Funds and children's multimedia, such as Toy Story. Most of the CDROM's installed in the library have restrictive copyright laws and cannot be circulated, Boyd said. The new software materials approved for circulation are compatible with most CDROM drives on home computers, Boyd said. Operating and copyright instructions are included with each software program. CDROM's have become popular with many groups of library users because they add the dimensions of sound and motion, Boyd said. For instance, nature lovers enjoy hearing the sounds and watching the flight of North American birds on a CDROM, while young children and their parents find it intriguing to watch an animated version of the ABC's, or a CDROM on the subject of creative writing may entice an otherwise reluctant student, she said. To check-out a CDROM, patrons simply need to present their Vail Public Library card to the circulation desk. The user then has three weeks to enjoy the new software. Due to the limited size of the collection, CDROM check-outs will be limited to one per patron. The service is free. For more information, contact the Vail library information staff at 479-2187. # # # . ~y TOWN OF VAIL - 75 South Frontage Road Yail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 MEDIA ADVISORY September 25, 1996 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn, 479-2115 Community Information Office VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR SEPTEMBER 24 Work Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Jewett, Johnston`, Kurz, Navas (*Johnston excused himself mid-way through the meeting) --Loading and Delivery An experimental approach for delivery in the Village Core will continue for another 30 days while town officials work to refine a recommendation presented to the Council yesterday. The recommendation--allowing loading and delivery in outlying loading zones from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with interior delivery anywhere along Gore Creek Drive during a three hour window in the morning (starting after 7 a.m. and ending by 11 a.m.)--was met with some concerns by the numerous delivery drivers who attended the meeting. While drivers were generally supportive of the recommendation to park anywhere along Gore Creek Drive for interior deliveries, they said the three hour window wasn't long enough to do their work. Representatives from the mail delivery services, for example, said they needed time to service their customers (the businesses), most of whom aren't there until 10 a.m. Others expressed concern for the mix of trucks and ski-bound pedestrians during peak season. Some of the drivers suggested mandating a"lock out" period during the peak pedestrian period similar to a program at Denver International Airport. There, drivers are allowed to make deliveries on foot, but are not allowed to move their trucks until the lock out period is over. Another driver suggested a gate system with strict enforcement that would honor the sensitivities of noise and engine exhaust issues of the core. Representing the surrounding residential community in the core, Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowner's Association criticized the recommendation for continuing to allow delivery trucks in the outlying areas. He said the residents have been saddled with the trucks for too long and demanded the problems be handled without the bounftries of Commercial Core I. He then went on to describe potential parking opportunities, most of them in private lots, to service each of the buildings in the core. Lamont also called for a long-term solution to the problem and criticized the town for not including concerns of the residential constituency in the current recommendation. Councilman Paul Johnston and his wife Sally, operators of the Christiania Lodge, said they, too, were tired of being saddled with the burden of delivery trucks lined up along Hanson RECYCLEDPAPER TOV Council Highlights/Add 1 Ranch Road. Paul Johnston suggested opening up both Gore Creek Drive and Bridge Street for interior deliveries to spread the burden to those who benefit from the deliveries. Maybe then, Johnston said, the businesses will see fit to work toward a long term solution. The solution, said Town Manager Bob McLaurin may be the construction of a central delivery system, which could cost as much as $10 million. That's the easy part, he said. The difficulty will be determining how the project would be funded and how it would operate. The reaction from Council members to the discussion incfuded: a suggestion by Michael Jewett to create a schedule for defiveries with assigned parking spots; a comment by Kevin Foley to understand stafifing levels of the community safety officers in the Police Department for improved enforcement; a comment by Ludwig Kurz who expressed disappointment in the lack of representation at the meeting by the merchant, restaurant, and lodging community and a suggestion that truckers, too, will need to be prepared to compromise on certain issues; a suggestion from Paul Johnston that the Vail Transportation Center should be incorporated as a distribution center; remarks by Sybill Navas that the short-term solution should be more creative; a suggestion by Bob Armour that vehicles be categorized by size and dealt with accordingly; and written comments from Rob Ford who suggested limiting the delivery by refrigerated trucks to three days a week. In addition, Navas said she agreed with Paul Johnston that delivery trucks should not be placed in the outlying residential areas during the 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. period. In the meantime, the following plan was developed to be continued on an experimental basis: parking in outlying areas allowed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., while interior parking anywhere along Gore Creek Drive will be permitted from 7 a.m. ta noon.

The town's critical strategies are: 1) effective and efficient municipal services; 2) responsible municipal leadership; 3) environment; and 4) sustained economic climate. Next steps in the 1997 budget process include preparation of departmental budgets by Oct. 4. For more information, contact Christine Anderson in the Finance Department at 479-2119. (More) TOV Council Highlights/Add 3 --Information Update Public Works Director Larry Grafel gave an update on the Serrano's construction. The project is on schedule, he said. Concrete foundation slabs have been poured, with crews now working on framing-up the exterior for the next concrete pour. Steel work wiU begin the week of Oct. 7. He said the contractor has asked for permission to work on Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 20 to maintain the schedule. Grafel said he's prepared to authorize the weekend work, with slightly reduced hours on Sunday. Council members have asked the town to assist the contractor in minimizing construction impacts on traffic, residents and guests. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said a discussion on changing the municipal election date in the Town Charter will be scheduled at the Oct. 8 work session. The topic was mentioned by Bob Armour at last week's work session during a discussion on procedural issues. Currently, the Charter calls for municipal elections to occur the first Tuesday after the third Monday in November, odd-numbered years, whereas county, state and federal elections are held the first Tuesday in November, annually. Armour said it might make more sense for Vail's election date to now be consistent with the others. Any change in the Charter would require an election. --Council Reports Kevin Foley reported the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority has hired a director. Jim Shrum, who previously ran the transit system in Scottsdale, Arizona, begins his new position Oct. 14. Foley also said the Trails Committee met on Monday for a site visit of the Dowd Junction recreational path. He said the Committee is interested in designating a portion of .the trails fund to help pay for construction. Bob Armour said he attended a TOV-VA Task Force meeting in which projects were prioritized for the upcoming ski season. The group will work on increasing communications in working with the business community in promoting the Vail Valley Club card and the new recreational activities that will be opening at Eagle's Nest atop Vail Mountain.

TOV Council Highlights/Add 4 --Other Saying she wanted to follow up on Paul Johnston's inspirational "watering the seeds" comment at last week's meeting, Sybill Navas said she had two causes she wanted to bring forth. The first, is a connection of the streamwalk from Ford Park to Donovan Park. The second issue, she said, is to pursue locals' housing at the water district site near the Glen Lyon Office Building. Navas also said she was interested in seeing progress at the "ruins" site at Cascade Village. Prompted by the pending merger of area ski resorts, Bob Armour said he and Bob McLaurin met with municipal officials in Breckenridge to begin discussions of common interests. Vail council members expressed interest in having a dialogue with the entire Breckenridge Council on Oct. 29 Bob Armour shared his enthusiasm for the recent Oktoberfest and complemented the staff of the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau for coordinating the activities in Vail Village and Lionshead.

Contact: Rob LeVine, 476-2471 Coordinating Team Member VAIL TOMORROW NEXT STEPS ARE PRIORITIZATION AND BRAINSTORMING AT SECOND COMMUNITY CONFERENCE NOVEMBER 1& 2 (Vail)--The Vail Tomorrow project will soon move into phase four of its seven-step community action planning process when participants gather for the "Describe Vail Tomorrow" Community Conference on Nov. 1 and 2. There, decisions and actions will be based on 11 goal areas established at the first community-wide gathering Sept. 7. To maximize participation, the Describe Vail Tomorrow Conference will be held during two sessions beginning the evening of Friday, Nov. 1, and continuing through Saturday morning, Nov. 2. Anyone who cares about or is impacted by Vail is encouraged to sign- up for all or a portion of the conference activities. Both sessions will be held at Manor Vail and discounted child care will be provided nearby. Rob LeVine, a volunteer who's helping oversee logistics of the Vail Tomorrow process, says the decisions made at the next conference not only have the potential to directly impact people's lives, but will be dependent upon those who participate. "If you've been wanting to share your specific ideas about how to make Vail a better place, this is your chance," he said. "There are 26 organizations and agencies throughout this region who have endorsed this effort and are ready to strongly consider the actions recommended by the Vail Tomorrow process. Because of that, we have a tremendous opportunity to work together as a community to make things happen in a positive way," he said. Activities at the November conference will continue the work established by (more) P.O. Box 1019 • Vail, Colorado 81658 • 970-479-2451 • http://vail.net/Vail-Tomorrow , Add 1/Vail Tomorrow participants at the first community conference earlier this month. There, 130 people worked together to develop consensus on 11 goals. They are: • World Class Resort We recognize and agree that our natural environment, and in particular, our ski mountain, is critical in making Vail a world class resort and forms the foundation for the community that has grown up around the resort. Our goal is to preserve that critical foundation and to enhance it through diversification of overall amenities and improvement of guest and support services. • Natural & Built Environment We will continue to preserve and protect the ambiance, charm, warmth and natural beauty of Vail as a mountain community, focusing on both the natural and built environments and the integration of the two. • Growth Management We will continue to direct growth to maintain our status as a world class resort and to achieve our other community goals. • Safety & Security We will not sacrifice the safety and security that we enjoy in our community today. • Building Community In the early days of Vail, members of the community were involved in creating the resort and community and there was a high degree of acceptance, respect and interaction. Today, there is a desire to recapture that sense of togetherness and community. We agree that we will work to generate more opportunities, occasions and physical locations for community interaction and to promote broader participation in our community life. We will reach out to our extended community, embrace our part-time residents, enhance . communication and strengthen neighborhoods. We will increase social responsibility and cooperation, including more public-private partnerships. • Economic Diversity In supporting our commitment to building community, we will increase our sensitivity to and respect for the essential needs and dignity of our workforce, including seasonal employees. We will expand the diversity of the economic base. Economic diversification will promote social and cultural diversity by creating more and varied employment opportunities and more "rungs on the ladder" professional growth opportunities, job satisfaction, year-round financial security and long-term housing opportunities. • Affordable Housing We will provide housing opportunities that meet the diverse needs of a diverse community. • Cultural & Educational Opportunities We will develop and enhance cultural and intellectual opportunities for all ages. (more) r ~ Add 2Nail Tomorrow • Youth We will improve education, recreation and devetopment programs, and foster a sense of inclusion, for our children and teenagers. • Family We will maintain and enhance our family focus in Vail, particularly in the areas of quality affordable health care, child care, public education and family-oriented activities. • Regional Cooperation We will improve and increase regional collaboration, specifically on planning and transportation issues. In preparation for the November conference, research is now underway to document quantified or objective aspects of the focus areas and to compare those areas with three other resort communities: Aspen, Whistler and Sanibel, Florida. Conference participants will then review the research, and work together to decide which of the goals are most important to pursue first. They also will brainstorm actions to achieve those goals. "It's extremely important for the various points of view to be represented during these discussions," LeVine said. "This is where the rubber meets the road in mapping out our course of action for Vail's future. Vail Tomorrow is an open, honest and fair process and we want to let people know they're welcome to participate," he continued. "But we also want to make it clear that we won't be going back to revisit decisions that have already been decided through the consensus of the participants." LeVine noted that more than 1,200 people, including full-time residents, part-time residents, business owners, commuters and others, have already used their voices in the Vail Tomorrow process through involvement in community roundtable discussions, responses to surveys or through attendance at the first community conference. "The (more) r F Add 3/Vail Tomorrow level of interest and enthusiasm for this process has been overwhelming," LeVine said. "We need to carry the momentum into tangible actions and that means each of us taking personal responsibility for our collective future." Following the November conference, organizations and individuals with a role to play in implementing the actions will work alongside community volunteers to determine which actions are best for Vail. Their recommendations will be reported back to the community at a final conference in the spring, and the actions will be underway.

Any other matters the Authority wishes to discuss. _ In relation to a renewal application for Garfinkel's, the Authroity was informed of recent complaints against the establishment from neighbors pertaining to the conduct of the establishment and the license holder permitting undue noise, profanity, rowdiness or other disturbances. Reg. 47-110.1 of the Colorado Liquor and Beer Codes states that whenever a written complaint shall be filed with a licensing authority, charging any /icensee with a violation of the Colorado Liquor Code, the licensing aufhority shall determine by investigation the probable truth of such charges. The Vail P.D. is in the process of conducting an investigation. LOCAL LICENSING AUTHORITY AGENDA September 11, 1996 Page Two Town Attorney, Tom Moorhead explained that pursuant to a recent change in the liquor code it was appropriate to not renew a liquor license for "good cause", and that one of the issues of concern pursuant to the recent complaints against the establishment was whether or not that establishment was operating in a manner that serves or fulfills the needs of the neighborhood or community. David Chapin then suggested that based on the complaints received against Garfinkel's, the matter should be scheduled for a hearing before the Local Licensing Authority at its next regular meeting. APPROVED, 4-0. 5. Next scheduled meeting October 9, 1996. ADJOURNED 10:30 A.M. TOWN OF VA{L Local Lic nsing Authority Holly L.

We are very happy that Oktoberfest has now proven itself to be a sigruficant September event with the potential to grow into one of Vail's annual, cornerstone festivals. Besides the fact that the weather has been in our favor two years in a row, we owe much of our success to the Town of Vail and many of its departments, management and staff. Like most of our events, Oktoberfest Vail '96 required a great amount of coordination on the part of the town. And, like all the events we have produced over the past year and a half, this was no exception to the positive and professional manner in which everyone from the Town of Vail helped to support our efforts. From the liquor review board, to the public works department, police department, town clerk, community development department, transportation department and the administrative staff, everyone did their best to assure a safe, successful and well organized event. Working with the Town of Vail is truly one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job. Saying "thank you" is also something that I enjoy taking the time to do, especially when it is so well deserved. To you, and all who contr:buted time resources to Oktoberfest Vail '96, the WTCB recognizes and appreciates your support and thanks you for being a integral part of our success!
