Call to Order
1. 1. Present: Brian Gillette, Brian Stockmar, John -Ryan Lockman, Karen Perez,
Pam Hopkins, Rollie Kjesbo
Absent: Ludwig Kurz
2. Main Agenda
2.1. A request for the review of the following two (2) variances: 1.) a variance from 30 min.
Section 12-21-12, Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive Slopes, Vail
Town Code, to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area to
be covered by driveways and surface parking; and 2.) a variance from
Section 14-3-1, Minimum Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for more than
one (1) curb cut per unit, located at 2841 Basingdale Boulevard/Lot 3, Block
8, Vail Intermountain Development Subdivision, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC18-0020)
ApplicantUichael & Yoshimi Moore, represented by Visual I mpax
Planner: Matt Panfil (presented by Jonathan Spence)
Planner Spence introduced the applicant's request to the PEC. There are
two different variances being requested by the applicant, including a variance
to allow for more than 10% of the total site area to be covered by driveways
and surface parking, and a variance to allow for more than one curb cut per
unit. A similar application was presented to the PEC on April 9, 2018. Spence
explained that the access to the garage has now been turned, thereby
removing the third variance request for minimum horizontal distance between
a garage door to the edge of public street pavement.
Scott Handler with Visual I mpax, Applicant, presented diagrams and
renderings completed to date. Handler explained because of the parking
easement, in order for a garage to work within the challenging site, the
variance has been requested, plus an additional curb -cut. The garage is
designed parallel to the street for ease of turning movements. Handler showed
a steep slope exhibit with contours plus photos around the property. He
explained that with the challenge of the setback requirements and easements,
Visual I mpax designed the house to embed itself within the natural contours of
the topography. Handler then showed renderings with the nearby fire hydrant
to the east side of the garage. The applicant obtained approval from Eagle
River Water and Sanitation District (ERW SD) and Vail Fire Department to
build the garage close to the fire hydrant.
Commissioner Gillette asked if the current owners have talked with the
adjacent neighbors about the parking easement.
Commissioner Perez asked if the neighbors would be in agreement with an
amendment to the easement.
Spence stated the neighbors may not want to amend the easement at this
time. Spence mentioned it is not under the PEC's purview to revise the
existing easement. At this time, the holder of the easement does not wish to
alter the agreement.
Commissioner Gillette that stated these are the questions the PEC asked to
the previous applicant and still need to be provided answers with:
• Have you talked to the adjacent owners?
• How many parking spots do the condos next doors need?
• How many cars fit on their property?
Scott Handler stated his approach is that there would be no space for the
adjacent properties to park, if removed. Commissioner Perez clarified the
applicant would not be removing two of the four spots, because those belong
to the property owner.
Commissioner Stockmar summarized that there is a lot of concern about the
overall proposal and easement questions that have not been answered. The
proposal must meet the requirements of the code. He does not believe the
applicant currently has answers to the questions Commissioner Gillette asked.
Handler responded that everything about the project is within the zoning code
regulations, with the exception of the two variances. He reminded the PEC
that this property has been presented to the PEC once before by a different
architect.
Commissioner Stockmar stated that parking is the major issue and must be
addressed with this application before moving forward. Handler responded
that the people who own the condo building may not alter their agreement.
Spence stated if the easement owner does not wish to alter the easement at
this time, then they do not have to alter the private agreement.
Chris Neubecker, Interim Director, asked the PEC to clarify their concerns
about the application and the parking easement.
Commissioner Gillette asked why the applicant cannot flip the garage to the
other side to face the existing parking area and move the fire hydrant into the
right of way. Handler responded there is a plan to move the fire hydrant in
2019.
Commissioner Perez responded to Neubecker and stated two parking spaces
within the easement are granted for the applicant, thereby granting the
applicant six parking spaces. Commissioner Gillette stated he would like to
see pictures of how many cars are currently parked in the parking spaces.
Spence stated if the PEC were to table the application, staff would like the
PEC to inform them of specifically what the PEC needs to see for this
application upon its return.
Commissioner Gillette would like to see a better depiction of the easement
parking spaces. The two property owners should get together and work out
the easement. Additionally, he stated an analysis should be done of flipping
the garage.
Handler mentioned the owner of the adjacent property does not want to lose
their parking. Spence responded to Gillette's previous comment about how
Public Works supports the current garage configuration.
Handler continued his prepared presentation of 3D renderings as well as a
movie to show how the house fits within the natural grade. He stated
everything else complies, if he could get the variance for the curb cut and
parking. He had a lawyer look at an easement language and the applicant
cannot change it unless the adjacent property owner agrees to the change.
Commissioner Gillette stated if the applicant flips the garage and takes
access from the existing easement, it would minimize the variance request.
Commissioner Stockmar agreed with Gillette to flip the garage and move the
hydrant, thereby lessening the impact to the development lot.
Spence clarified the three things being asked by the PEC. The PEC would
like to see:
1. Sketch of the site
2. Photos of site and parking
3. A better understanding of the discussion between the property
owner and adjacent property owner.
Commissioner Gillette stated the PEC is not allowed to grant a special
privilege. The PEC cannot allow private easements to dictate the zoning
code. He would like clarity and options shown to the PEC. Right now the
PEC does not have the proper information to make a decision.
Commissioner Lockman stated it would be helpful to have the adjacent owner
at the next meeting. The PEC wants a clearly defined future for the two
parking spaces. Hearing from the adjacent owner would be helpful.
Commissioner Hopkins suggested if the applicant reduced the size of the
turnaround space, it might help if the applicant put landscaping in the area,
which now shows 642 SF total of driveway on the existing site plan. She
suspects this can be reduced by 150-200 SF if a hammerhead driveway is
created.
Handler responded that the lot drops off behind the fire hydrant due to the
slope. Public Works stated they wanted a 20 foot turning radius. Without the
space to maneuver, it would be challenging.
Commissioner Lockman asked "what if the applicant amended the easement
by giving their two parking spaces away?" Commissioner Gillette responded
stating the preference is to provide the condos with four parking spaces and
show this through a drawing.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Kathy Langenwalter stated that having not seen the previous submittal, would
it not be possible to elevate the garage to take care of Public Works concerns
and to minimize the footprint?
COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS
Lockman — In agreement with other Commissioners to reduce site impact and
land. In agreement to reduce the variances being granted. Wants more clarity
of how the other two parking spaces will be used.
Handler asked if he were to give away his two parking spaces, does it help
his argument?
Spence stated the applicant is creating more of a hardship by giving away
two spaces.
Hopkins — Would like applicant to study the driveway more, either with
Langenwalter's suggestion or with Hopkins' suggestion.
Kjesbo — Stated the owner of the fourplex owned the adjacent lot created the
easement, then sold the lot realizing its diminishing value.
Perez — Does not meet criteria to grant a variance.
Stockmar — Does not see this as the solution to grant a variance. Two
alternatives were stated; either ask to table this item then return with a series
of solutions, or ask for a vote now.
Applicant requests the PEC to table to June 11 meeting.
John -Ryan Lockman moved to table to June 11, 2018. Brian Gillette
seconded the motion and it passed (6-0).
Absent: (1) Kurz
2.2. A request for a review of a prescribed regulations amendment to Section 14- 90 min.
10-6, Residential Development, Vail Town Code, to allow the Design Review
Board (DRB) to apply different design review standards in situations when
two-family dwellings appear as separate and distinct development lots, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0005)
ApplicantArosa Partners LLC, represented by Brad Hagedorn
Planner: Justin Lightfield
Planner Lightfield introduced the applicant's request and provided
background information on the request. Lightfield spoke to the history of the
subject regulations and how the DRB has administered the regulation. The
request has been reviewed by the DRB and Lightfield spoke to their
response, including their concerns.
Lightfield spoke to how the staff report is structured, weighing pros and cons
and not making a recommendation, per se.
The applicant, Brad Hagedorn, spoke to his request and how it is only related
to separated duplexes and not to other types of development. The request
would allow different architectural approaches to separated duplexes that
appear to be on separate development lots.
Hagedorn pointed out the proposed criteria that would allow such different
approaches. He discussed why he believes this in the best interest of the
Town to change the regulation. He discussed how he feels that separated
duplexes will not improve their properties, pointing to a "prisoner's dilemma".
Hagedorn discussed the process of a separation duplex and how this will
remove the boundaries to homeowners improving their property.
Commissioner Kjesbo spoke to the example provided on Arosa and his
thoughts on that case when it came before the DRB. Hagedorn provided a
response that he did not feel that approach is optimal.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Kathy Langenwalter mentioned she came before the PEC as a former PEC
and DRB member. She handed out exhibits including a map that
demonstrated what lots in her neighborhood could be affected by this change
in the code and the concerns resulting from this change. She also spoke to
the difference between complementary and unified. She discussed her
reasons for objecting to the proposal and the possible results of the change
including grants of special privilege, a cluttered visual approach, a decrease
in DRB authority, and a change to area demographics. She spoke to what
she feels are actually changes to the separation criteria.
Dick Cleveland provided comments on the proposal based on his participation
on various boards. He cautioned about text amendments that benefit an
applicant. He spoke to the improper subdivision of the Arosa property. He
discussed the result of the amendment which would be different standards for
attached vs un -attached duplexes. Cleveland discussed the history of this
issue and how it has largely worked in the past and the unforeseen and
foreseen consequences of changing the approach. He stated he does not
feel that the changes meet the required criteria for approval and
recommended that the PEC forward a recommendation of denial.
Jack Snow spoke to his support for the proposal. He discussed what he feels
is a misstatement of the intent that this would lead to more separation,
although he does not feel more separations are a problem. He mentioned that
he feels the request is simply to give the DRB more flexibility and freedom.
Ron Byrne spoke to the dilemma in front of the PEC. He discussed
Langenwalter's and Cleveland's comments and his understanding of them.
Byrne mentioned the need to allow the flexibility and a more subjective
approach from the DRB. He stated he feels degradation in quality may result
if flexibility is not given. He spoke to the creation of a cyclical process of bad
architecture if we are always chasing the architecture of the other unit.
Mike Farr spoke to his support of the proposal.
Debbie Gibson Curtis, representing others at Slifer Smith & Frampton Real
Estate, spoke to her support for the proposal, especially for those properties
along Beaver Dam and Forest Road that deserve some lenience.
COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS
Kjesbo - Spoke to the importance of compatibility and not the need or desire
to match. He does not support the proposed text amendment.
Gillette - Agrees with Commissioner Kjesbo one -hundred percent. Feels the
photos provided by Kathy Langenwalter and Brad Hagedorn illustrate the
problem, not the solution.
Perez - Agrees with Commissioners Kjesbo and Gillette but recognizes the
hardship when the other owner does not wish to upgrade. She is concerned
about unintended consequences that could be seen as a result of the text
amendment.
Hopkins - Feels that this is a grab of special privilege not to be a duplex She
stated she believes the PEC should keep the standards the way they are
currently, without the text amendment.
Lockman - Has struggled with the request. He believes that with an aging
housing stock there will be a need for a change in the regulations. He feels
that compatibility is necessary and supports the DRB exercising some
flexibility. He feels that the shared ownership issue will have to be addressed
at some point and does not support the proposal.
Kathy Langenwalter added additional comments concerning how the criteria
are actually working.
Brad Hagedorn - Spoke to how the incentive to separate duplex units is
already in existence in the code and that this proposal does not increase that.
He feels that compatible has largely meant matching from his experience.
Gillette - Spoke to how the composition of the board has an effect on its
outcomes. He feels they are doing their jobs.
Stockmar - Spoke to this being a Pandora's box He does not know how
many properties will be affected by the text amendment and feels the
approach is overly broad. He believes that the current regulations have been
largely successful.
Brian Gillette moved to deny. Rollie Kjesbo seconded the motion and it
passed (6-0).

Memorandum
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 29, 2018
SUBJECT: A request for the review of the following two (2) variances: 1.) a variance from
Section 12-21-12, Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive Slopes, Vail Town
Code, to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area to be
covered by driveways and surface parking; and 2.) a variance from Section 14-3-
1, Minimum Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for more than one (1) curb cut
per unit, located at 2841 Basingdale Boulevard/Lot 3, Block 8, Vail Intermountain
Development Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-
0020)
Applicants: Michael & Yoshimi Moore, represented by Visual Impax
Planner: Matt Panfil
I. SUMMARY
The applicants, Michael and Yoshimi Moore, represented by Visual Impax, are
requesting the review of two (2) variances for the property located at 2841 Basingdale
Boulevard / Lot 3, Block 8, Vail Intermountain Development Subdivision:
A variance from Section 12-21-12, Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive
Slopes, Vail Town Code, to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site
area to be covered by driveways and surface parking; and
2. A variance from Section 14-3-1, Minimum Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow
for two (2) curb cuts per unit where only one (1) curb cut per unit is allowed.
Based upon staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends approval with one condition (for each separate variance), of this
application, subject to the findings noticed in Section VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicants, Michael and Yoshimi Moore, represented by Visual Impax, are
requesting the review of two (2) variances in order to facilitate a new single-family
residence on the subject property. Please note that the two (2) requested variances
include two (2) of the three (3) variances requested in a recently reviewed, but
withdrawn, application (PEC18-0012), that was presented to the PEC on March 26,
2018.
The primary difference between the applications is that the current application (PEC18-
0020) is not requesting a variance from Section 14-3-1, Minimum Standards, Vail Town
Code, to allow for a minimum horizontal clearance between a garage door (parallel to
road) to edge of a public street pavement of less than 24 feet. The applicants have
been able to eliminate the need for such a variance by realigning the garage entrance to
be parallel to Basingdale Boulevard.
A vicinity map (Attachment A), project narrative with the applicants' responses to
variance criteria (Attachment B), plan set (Attachment C), and an easement deed
between the subject property and the property adjacent to the north (Attachment D,
discussed in greater detail in Section III below) are attached for review.
III. BACKGROUND
Based on staff's research, the subject property has been historically vacant. The
specific boundaries of the development lot were established with the recording of Vail
Intermountain Development Subdivision on September 2, 1971 (Reception No.
117228).
On May 30, 1984, the Design Review Board (DRB) approved a duplex on the subject
property. However, the duplex was never constructed. The approved duplex had a
total of approximately 1,775 square feet of GRFA (code -compliant based on the GRFA
calculation methods in place at the time). The primary unit had approximately 1,184
square feet of GRFA, and the secondary unit had 591 square feet of GRFA. The
proposed duplex was also compliant with the maximum site coverage and minimum
landscaping requirements.
On May 6, 1993, an easement (Attachment D) was recorded with the Eagle County
Clerk and Recorder, which created an easement between the owner of the subject
property / grantor (Lot 3, Block 8, Vail Intermountain Development Subdivision) and the
adjacent property owner / grantee to the north (Lot 2, Block 8, Vail Intermountain
Development Subdivision). The document created, "a perpetual non-exclusive parking
and access easement, for joint use of a parking area in existence on the easterly portion
of Lot 3."
Town of Vail Page 2
The grantor of the easement reserved, "the sole and exclusive right to designate two
parking spaces within the parking area for the exclusive use and control of the owner of
Lot 3." Specifically, parking spaces were, "to be located on the westerly portion of the
parking and access easement, and shall be of an area sufficient to comply with the
Town of Vail parking requirements." Therefore, the applicants are entitled to the two (2)
parking spaces identified on Attachment D.
Acceptance of the easement by Lot 2 to the north included a condition stating:
It is contemplated that in connection with the construction of a residence on Lot
3, the Town of Vail will require the entire parking and access easement to be
paved. Grantor, his heirs, successors, and/or assigns shall pay the entire cost of
paving the two reserved parking spaces, Grantee, its successors and assigns,
shall pay the entire cost of paving the remainder of the parking and access
easement.
It is important to note that the size of the entire parking and access easement area that
would be required to be paved is approximately 872 square feet. This means that the
subject property would already exceed the maximum paving requirements of Section
12-21-12-1-E by 106 square feet (10% of 7,662.2 square feet = 766 square feet). In
effect, the language of the easement requires the establishment of a nonconforming
site.
IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Staff finds that the following provisions of the Vail Town Code are relevant to the review
of this proposal:
Title 12 — Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code
Chapter 6, Article D, Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District (in part)

may appropriately be located in the same zone district. The two-family
primary/secondary residential district is intended to ensure adequate light, air,
privacy and open space for each dwelling, commensurate with single-family and
two-family occupancy, and to maintain the desirable residential qualities of such
sites by establishing appropriate site development standards.

Chapter 12-17, Variances (in part)
12-17-1: PURPOSE:
A. Reasons For Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to lessen such practical
difficulties and unnecessary physical hardships inconsistent with the
objectives of this title as would result from strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practical
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the size, shape, or
dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures thereon; from
topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity, or
from other physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate
vicinity. Cost or inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance
with a regulation shall not be a reason for granting a variance.
B. Development Standards Excepted: Variances may be granted only with
respect to the development standards prescribed for each zone district,
including lot area and site dimensions, setbacks, distances between
buildings, height, density control, building bulk control, site coverage, usable
open space, landscaping and site development, and parking and loading
requirements, or with respect to the provisions of chapter 11 of this title,
governing physical development on a site.
C. Use Regulations Not Affected: The power to grant variances does not extend
to the use regulations prescribed for each zone district because the flexibility
necessary to avoid results inconsistent with the objectives of this title is
provided by chapter 16, "Conditional Use Permits", and by section 12-3-7,
'Amendment'; of this title.
12-17-6: CRITERIA AND FINDINGS:
A. Factors Enumerated: Before acting on a variance application, the planning
and environmental commission shall consider the following factors with
respect to the requested variance:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity.
Town of Vail Page 5
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or 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.
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.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to
the proposed variance.
B. Necessary Findings: The planning and environmental commission shall make
the following findings before granting 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 zone 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 or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or
unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives
of this title.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the site of the variance that do not
generally apply to other properties in the same zone district.
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges
enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone
district.

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria for a variance request are prescribed in Title 12, Chapter 17,
Variances, Vail Town Code.
Variance 1: Section 12-21-12, Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive Slopes
Section 12-21-12-E-1, states, "not more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area
may be covered by driveways and surface parking."
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses
and structures in the vicinity.
The proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area
to be covered by driveways and surface parking is the result of multiple factors.
Primarily, the small lot size (7,662 square feet, where 15,000 square feet is required)
results in the applicants having approximately one-half (%) the amount of available
paved area in comparison to a lot compliant with the minimum site area regulations.
Town of Vail Page 8
Also, the proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site
area to be covered by driveways and surface parking is a direct result of the
relationship of the subject property with the adjacent property to the north. The
existing parking and access easement between the two (2) properties requires the
entire easement area to be paved if the subject property were to be developed with
a single-family residence. Said paving requirement necessitates the variance
request as the area to be paved (approximately 872 square feet) exceeds ten
percent (10%) of the total site area (approximately 762 square feet).
Therefore, approval of the proposed variance allows for the subject property to be
developed in a manner consistent with other existing or potential uses and structures
in the vicinity. Furthermore, the granting of the proposed variance would bring the
non -conforming gravel parking area into compliance with Section 14-5-2-A, Other
Requirements, Surfacing, Vail Town Code, which states, "all parking areas shall be
an approved paved surface."
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or 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.
Without approval of the proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%)
of the total site area to be covered by driveways and parking the subject property is
rendered undevelopable. The entirety, and more, of the allowable paved area would
be occupied by parking spaces, leaving no opportunity, barring the reconfiguration of
the parking and access easement, for an access drive to a new single-family
residence. If the applicants were required to re -describe the parking and access
easement in order to obtain access to the site, the adjacent property to the north
could deny the request and render the site undevelopable. Therefore, the proposed
variance is necessary to achieve compatible and uniform treatment between the
subject property and other properties in the vicinity.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
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 proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area
to be covered by driveways and parking will facilitate access to the property for the
future development of a new single-family residence. The proposed variance will not
result in a negative impact on light and air; will not alter the distribution of population;
Town of Vail Page 9
will not affect any existing transportation or traffic facilities, public facilities, or
utilities; and will not affect public safety in comparison to existing conditions.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the
proposed variance.
Variance 2: Section 14-3-1, Minimum Standards, Curb Cuts
Section 14 -3 -1 -Table 2, states that only one (1) curb cut per unit is permitted within the
Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District.
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses
and structures in the vicinity.
The requested variance for a second curb cut is due to the fact that the existing curb
cut essentially only serves the adjacent property to the north. Unless the applicants
were able to design a site plan that transformed the two (2) westernmost parking
spaces within the parking and access easement into an access drive to the site
while maintaining compliance with all other development standards (including
minimum landscaping, minimum parking spaces, etc.), a second curb is necessary
to serve a new single-family residence on the subject property.
Creating an access drive from the parking and access easement, as described
above, may require the alteration of the existing easement, which may not be
approved by the adjacent property to the north. Therefore, a second curb cut will
allow for the development of the subject property with a new single-family residence,
while minimizing the potential negative impact to the parking for the adjacent
property to the north.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or 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.
The proposed variance for a second curb cut will facilitate access for a new single-
family residence on the subject property. Without a second curb cut, the lot could be
rendered undevelopable if the adjacent property owner to the north were unwilling to
allow for an alteration to the parking and access easement to allow the applicants to
create an access drive from the two (2) westernmost parking spaces within the
easement area.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
Town of Vail Page 10
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 applicant has designed the garage to allow for head-on access, to Basingdale
Boulevard. This garage entrance and access configuration will enhance public
safety over previously reviewed development concepts, which required vehicles to
back onto Basingdale Boulevard. The proposed variance will not result in a negative
impact on light and air; will not alter the distribution of population; and will not affect
any existing transportation or traffic facilities, public facilities, or utilities.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the
proposed variance.

Re: 2841 Basingdale Boulevard Vail Colorado
Planning and Environmental Commission:
We propose to construct a single-family home and request a variance for:
1) A variance from Section 12-21-12, Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive Slopes, Vail Town Code,
to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area to be covered by driveways and surface
parking
2) A variance from Section 14-3-1, Minimum Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow
for two (2) curb cuts per unit where only (1) curb cut per unit is allowed.
Reasons for Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to lessen such practical difficulties and unnecessary
physical hardships inconsistent with the objectives of this title as would result from strict or literal
interpretation and enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practical difficulty
or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the location
of existing structures thereon; from topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate
vicinity; or from other physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity. Cost
or inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation shall not be a reason
for granting a variance.
We are confident in the approval of this request, as the town of Vail has previously approved the exact
same request on March 26, 2018. The plans for the previous applied variance failed to come to fruition,
as that project was abandoned.
This lot has historically been vacant since 1971. This property offers multiple challenges to develop, and
there exists an unnecessary hardship in the development of this land. Several parties have
unsuccessfully been able execute a design that works with the topography with minimal impact to the
land around it. Due to the easement, the design of a single-family home will work, however, without the
additional driveway space and new curb cut requested in this variance, our proposed design will not
work. In addition, the extra 2 parking spots will be provide additional parking for the residence, and will
be helpful to maneuver vehicles in and out of the property thus making it more safe to the pedestrian
area.
The proposed design of this home is similar to other homes in this area, with respect to the contours,
blending into the mountainside and natural grade. We allow the existing topography to shape the new
structure. Much time and considerations were made to this design, such as a steel grate, like the
neighbor utilizes, has been integrated into this design of the rear decking.
The weight of this decision hinders the sale of this property, as we are in final stages of purchasing this
land. This lot is very challenging to build on, and several parties failed to complete the purchase of this
property as a result. Our skill and technical know -how is the critical part in this land development,
something other buyers were unable to achieve.
In an effort to demonstrate our commitment to this project, a large amount of time and effort were
spent to provide you with complete architectural plans and renderings. We feel providing such detail
will allow the committee to see our proposed vision for the property.
The proposed use of this property is for residential habitancy. This is consistent with the compatibility
with neighboring properties.
The impact of this land development for the town of Vail will produce additional revenue with regard to
the assessed property taxes.
The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses
and structures in the vicinity.
The proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area to be covered by
driveways and surface parking is the result of multiple factors. Primarily, the small lot size (7 ,662 square
feet, where 15,000 square feet is required) results in the applicants having approximately one-half (%)
the amount of available paved area in comparison to a lot compliant with the minimum site area
regulations. Also, the proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site
area to be covered by driveways and surface parking is a direct result of the relationship of the subject
property with the adjacent property to the north. The existing parking and access easement between
the two (2) properties requires the entire easement area to be paved if the subject property were to be
developed with a single -family residence. Said paving requirement necessitates the variance request as
the area to be paved (approximately 872 square feet) exceeds ten percent (10%) of the total site area
(approximately 762) square feet. Therefore, approval of the proposed variance allows for the subject
property to be developed in a manner consistent with other existing or potential uses and structures
in the vicinity. Furthermore, the granting of the proposed variance would bring the non-conforming
gravel parking area into compliance with Section 14-5-2-A, Other Requirements, Surfacing, Vail Town
Code, which states, "all parking areas shall be an approved paved surface."
The degree to which relief from the strict or 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.
Without approval of the proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site
area to be covered by driveways and parking the subject property is rendered undevelopable. The
entirety, and more, of the allowable paved area would be occupied by parking spaces, leaving no
opportunity, barring the reconfiguration of the parking and access easement, for an access drive to a
new single -family residence. If we were required to re-describe the parking and access
easement in order to obtain access to the site, the adjacent property to the north could deny the
request and render the site undevelopable. Therefore, the proposed variance is necessary to achieve
compatible and uniform treatment between the subject property and other properties in the vicinity.
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 proposed variance to allow for more than ten percent (10%) of the total site area
to be covered by driveways and parking will facilitate access to the property for the
development of a new single-family residence. The proposed variance will not
result in a negative impact on light and air; will not alter the distribution of population;
will not affect any existing transportation or traffic facilities, public facilities, or
utilities; and will not affect public safety in comparison to existing conditions.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.

TOWN OF VAIL �
Memorandum
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 29, 2018
SUBJECT: A request for a review of a prescribed regulations amendment to Section 14-10-
6, Residential Development, Vail Town Code, to allow the Design Review Board
(DRB) to apply different design review standards in situations when two-family
dwellings appear as separate and distinct development lots, and setting forth
details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0005)
Applicant: Brad Hagedorn
Planner: Justin Lightfield
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Brad Hagedorn, requests the review of a prescribed regulation
amendment to Section 14-10-6, Residential Development, Vail Town Code, pursuant to
Section 12-3-7 C2, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow the Design Review Board
(DRB) to apply different design review standards in situations when two-family dwellings
are approved as a separated duplex and appear as separate and distinct development
lots. The intent of the amendment is to provide opportunities for the DRB to consider lot -
specific circumstances that would allow for the construction of residences more suitable
to a neighborhood's character.
The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) is asked to review the proposed
code language changes submitted by the applicant, provide feedback and suggestions,
and forward a recommendation of approval, approval with modifications, or denial
to the Vail Town Council for the proposed prescribed regulations amendment.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
Throughout the design review process, the DRB and applicants alike have noted
challenges that arise when detached two-family dwellings must comply with unified
architectural and landscape design. This requirement is questioned when building sites
are separated by distance, topography or vegetation, making the two sites appear as
separate and distinct development lots.
The applicant, Brad Hagedorn, is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town
Council to clarify and codify existing and proposed residential development design
review standards and guidelines. It is the intent of the amendment to alter the design
review standards applied to separated two-family dwellings that appear as separate and
distinct development lots in order to allow for distinct architectural and landscape design
among each dwelling.
Currently, the Vail Town Code, 14-10-6: Residential Development, requires that all
separated two-family dwellings utilize unified architectural and landscape design. The
proposed amendment is designed to give the DRB flexibility to apply a different set of
criteria in situations where varied architectural design of separated two-family dwellings
would possibly benefit the community and improve the character of the Town of Vail.
The three purposes of the amendments are to:
Further the purposes of the DRB's design review standards by giving the board
more flexibility in a set of unique situations where the Code is currently deficient.
2. Better achieve the Town of Vail's goals to be a residential community of the
highest quality by allowing for the construction of high quality residences that
reflect changes to neighborhood character that would not be possible under the
current Code.
3. The amendment promotes the harmonious development of Vail by allowing the
DRB to consider lot -specific circumstances that would allow for the construction
of residences more suitable to a neighborhood's character.
III. BACKGROUND
Development Standards
• In 1997, the Town staff initiated "DRIP", the Development Review Improvement
Process, which involved Town boards and interested members of the community
to clarify standards and improve the review process.
• On May 17, 1997, the first draft of the Development Standards Handbook was
presented to the PEC in the form of a work session as a result of the DRIP
process.
• The following were goals of the DRIP effort:
1. Clarify all aspects of the Development Review Process so that it is more
efficient and predictable.
2. Consolidate, clarify, and define development standards so that both Town
staff and customers have a clear understanding of what is required in order
to build or redevelop in the Town of Vail.
3. Educate the users of the process on the need to accept responsibility for
providing complete and accurate submittals and required revisions in a
timely manner in order to fully benefit from the Development Review
Process improvements.
Town of Vail Page 2
On July 12, 1999, PEC voted 4-0 to recommend to Vail Town Council of the
Development Standards Handbook.
• On September 7, 1999, the Vail Town Council voted 5-0 on the first reading of
Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1999, amending Title 12 Zoning and Title 13
Subdivisions of the Code, and creating a new Title 14, Development Standards,
providing for the establishment of development standards for property in the Town
of Vail and providing for the adoption by reference the Town of Vail Development
Standards Handbook.
• On September 21, 1999, Vail Town Council voted 4-0 on Ordinance No. 22,
Series of 1999, on second reading to amend Title 12 Zoning and Title 13
Subdivisions of the Code, and creating a new Title 14, Development Standards.
The Development Standards were created to help protect property values, ensure the
aesthetic quality of the community, and ensure adequate development of property within
the Town of Vail. Throughout the creation of Development Standards, Staff utilized
model codes, professional reports, and standards from other communities in the
evaluation of the standards now in Title 14. While the Development Standards have
been followed, there are a handful of nonconforming detached and attached two-family
dwelling sites, which at time of redevelopment will need to comply with the Title 14,
Development Standards.
While the DRB board members change as terms expire, Title 14, Development
Standards have provided a framework for the DRB through rules, regulations, and
standards over time. Any modification should be reviewed to continue to purpose of the
Development Standards with framework for the DRB's review of development plans to
ensure compliance with the Town's design guidelines and Development Standards. Any
reduction in the framework could potentially lead to less continuity over time for the
DRB.
Currently, detached two-family dwellings are required to be compatible with one another
within a development lot, their surroundings, and with Vail's environment. In essence,
this has created and sustained the look the Town has today. It is important to note,
buildings must not look exactly alike to be compatible. The current guidelines leave as
much design freedom as possible to the individual designer to create structures which
are designed to complement both their individual sites and surroundings. The DRB has
the authority to guide applicants on compatibility through proper consideration of scale,
proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and colors, and compliance with other
guidelines in Title 14. The Town of Vail has been utilizing Development Standards for
many years and they have been a stable tool for the success of harmonious design the
Town is often regarded for present day.

Design Review Board Review
On February 21, 2018, the applicant had a work session with the DRB to discuss the
proposed language of a separated two-family dwellings text amendment. The DRB, with
public comment, provided their feedback to the applicant, highlighted in Attachment F.
The general consensus of DRB was that the proposed text amendment is not necessary
or consistent with design criteria for the Town of Vail. If a detached two-family dwelling
is on a development lot, similar design criteria should be followed per the current design
guidelines for the Town of Vail. Additionally, the DRB was concerned that the proposed
text amendment could open the doors to a much greater number of architects and
developers requesting a separation request.
While staff did not request a formal recommendation, a straw poll was taken. Rollie
Kjesbo moved to oppose the request to change the code language to Section 14-10-6,
Residential Development, the Code. Doug Cahill seconded the motion. The unofficial
vote passed (3-1) with Pete Cope opposed and Andrew Forstl absent.

administrator.
Chapter 6, Article D, Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District (in part)
12-6D-1: PURPOSE:
The two-family primary/secondary residential district is intended to provide sites
for single-family residential uses in which one unit is a larger primary residence
and the second unit is a smaller caretaker apartment, together with such public
facilities as may appropriately be located in the same zone district. The two-
family primary/secondary residential district is intended to ensure adequate light,
air, privacy and open space for each dwelling, commensurate with single-family
and two-family occupancy, and to maintain the desirable residential qualities of
such sites by establishing appropriate site development standards.
Title 14 — Design Review Standards and Guidelines, Vail Town Code
14-10-1: PURPOSE:
This chapter provides the design review standards and guidelines for
development in the town of Vail. Actions of the staff and the design review board
shall be guided by the objectives prescribed herein, the Vail Village urban design
considerations and guide plan and the Lionshead redevelopment master plan,
and by all of the applicable ordinances of the town and by the design guidelines
in this chapter.
14-10-2: GENERAL COMPATIBILITY
A. Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their surroundings, and
with Vail's environment. It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike to be
compatible. Compatibility can be achieved through the proper consideration of
Town of Vail Page 5
scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and colors, and
compliance with the guidelines herein contained.
B. Any building site in Vail is likely to have its own unique landforms and
features. Whenever possible, these existing features should be preserved and
reinforced by new construction. The objective is to fit the buildings to their sites in
a way that leaves the natural landforms and features intact, treating the buildings
as an integral part of the site, rather than as isolated objects at odds with their
surroundings.
14-10-5: BUILDING MATERIALS AND DESIGN
C. Same Or Similar Materials: The same or similar building materials and colors
shall be used on main structures and any accessory structures upon the site.
Translucent components of greenhouses shall be exempt from this requirement.
D. Colors: Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding
buildings. Natural colors (earth tones found within the Vail area) should be
utilized. Primary colors or other bright colors should be used only as accents and
then sparingly such as upon trim or railings. All exterior wall materials must be
continued down to finished grade thereby eliminating unfinished foundation walls.
All exposed metal flashing, trim, flues, and rooftop mechanical equipment shall
be anodized, painted or capable of weathering so as to be nonreflective.
14-10-6: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
A. The purpose of this section is to ensure that residential development be
designed in a manner that creates an architecturally integrated structure with
unified site development. Dwelling units and garages shall be designed within a
single structure, except as set forth in subsection B of this section, with the use of
unified architectural and landscape design. A single structure shall have common
roofs and building walls that create enclosed space substantially above grade.
Unified architectural and landscape design shall include, but not be limited to, the
use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms,
massing, architectural details, site grading and landscape materials and features.
B. The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation
of units and garages on a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has
significant site constraints shall be made by the design review board. "Significant
site constraints" shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands of
mature trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other natural water
features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, other natural features, and existing
structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and
development of a lot. Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that
allows for the separation of a garage from a unit. It shall be the applicant's
responsibility to request a determination from the design review board as to
whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work on
Town of Vail Page 6
the project is presented. This determination shall be made at a conceptual review
of the proposal based on review of the site, a detailed survey of the lot and a
preliminary site plan of the proposed structure(s).
C. The residential development may be designed to accommodate the
development of dwelling units and garages in more than one structure if the
design review board determines that significant site constraints exist on the lot.
The use of unified architectural and landscape design as outlined herein shall be
required for the development. In addition, the design review board may require
that one or more of the following common design elements such as fences, walls,
patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, landscape elements, or other
architectural features be incorporated to create unified site development.
V. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT
The following amendments are proposed with new language in bold and items to be
removed designated by a strikethre g
14-10-6: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
A. The purpose of this section is to ensure that residential development be designed
in a manner that creates an architecturally integrated structure with unified site
development. Dwelling units and garages shall be designed within a single structure,
except as set forth in subsections B, C, and D of this section, with the use of unified
architectural and landscape design. A single structure shall have common roofs and
building walls that create enclosed space substantially above grade. Unified
architectural and landscape design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of
compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms, massing,
architectural details, site grading and landscape materials and features.
B. The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of
units and garages on a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant
site constraints shall be made by the design review board. "Significant site
constraints" shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands of mature
trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other natural water features, rock
outcroppings, wetlands, other natural features, and existing structures that may
create practical difficulties in the site planning and development of a lot. Slope may
be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage
from a unit. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to request a determination from
the design review board as to whether or not a site has significant site constraints
before final design work on the project is presented. This determination shall be
made at a conceptual review of the proposal based on review of the site, a detailed
survey of the lot and a preliminary site plan of the proposed structure(s).
C. The residential development may be designed to accommodate the development
of dwelling units and garages in more than one structure if the design review board
determines that significant site constraints exist on the lot. Except as set forth in
Town of Vail Page 7
subsection D, the use of unified architectural and landscape design as outlined
herein shall be required for the development. In addition, the design review board
may require that one or more of the following common design elements such as
fences, walls, patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, landscape elements, or other
architectural features be incorporated to create unified site development.
D. The design review board may find that there are conditions where a unified
architectural and landscape design may not be required of separated two-
family dwellings. For unified architectural and landscape design to not be
required of a separated two-family dwelling, one of the following conditions
must be demonstrated.
1. Where slope of the terrain creates significant elevation differences
between separated two-family dwelling units, causing them to appear
as separate and distinct development lots;
2. Where access to separated two-family dwelling units is taken from
different streets, causing them to appear as separate and distinct
development lots; or
3. Other conditions, as determined by the design review board, that
cause separated two-family dwelling units to appear as separate and
distinct development lots.
VI. REVIEW CRITERIA
Section 12-3-7(C)(2) of the Zoning Regulations identifies the criteria that the Planning
and Environmental Commission must consider before making a recommendation for a
change to the text of the code. These criteria include the following:
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific
purposes of the zoning regulations; and
Support:
The proposed text amendment could enhance the Town's appearance by encouraging
property owners to upgrade their homes. It would also allow the updating of aging
structures where one owner cannot convince the other unit owner to upgrade the other
dwelling unit, which is a problem according to some property owners and architects.
This text amendment meets the following purpose of the zoning regulations:
8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town.
Possible Effects:
The proposed text amendment would remove the requirement for design consistency
for separated two-family dwellings, which is currently required by the Code. The existing
Town of Vail Page 8
code was specifically enacted to create consistency and harmony of design within
development lots. Consistency promotes a coordinated and harmonious development of
the Town and helps to conserve and maintain community design qualities and economic
values. The existing development standards help protect property values, ensure the
aesthetic quality of the community and ensure adequate development of property within
the town of Vail. In addition, the proposed amendments may encourage more property
owners to seek approval to separate their dwelling units, contradicting the purposes of
two-family zone districts.
12-1-2 A
General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health,
safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated
and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and
enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and
residential community of high quality.
12-1-2 B
5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic
values.
6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land
uses, consistent with municipal development objectives.
8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town.
2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better
achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies
outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the town; and
Following is one of the relevant goals of the Town's Comprehensive Plan:
Vail Land Use Plan
1. General Growth / Development
1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever
possible.
Support:
The proposed text amendment seeks to
clear language in the Code. The architects
support (Attachment E and Attachment F),
discourages separated two-family dwelling
requirements to match the design of thei
rupgrade existing structures by establishing
and contractors who have signed letters of
believe the way the Code is currently written
owners from improving their homes, due to
attached duplex neighbor. Some property
Town of Vail Page 9
owners and architects have stated that sometimes both two-family dwelling owners are
not always ready to renovate simultaneously.
Possible Effects:
The quality of development could be upgraded through discussions with the neighbor to
bring both residences into an updated, compatible design. Through an upgrade such as
new construction or renovation of separated two-family dwellings on a development lot,
the development lot as a whole is maintained and upgraded, which has been done for
many years in the Town of Vail. Additionally, units do not have to be identical. There are
a variety of methods where separated two-family dwellings can be maintained and
upgraded through design, even if only one half wishes to upgrade.
3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have
substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the
existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and
Support:
The amendment is in response to lack of flexibility within existing regulations. Units
constructed in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s are beginning to show their age and require
replacement or remodel. While the Code originally may have been intended to address
the simultaneous construction of separated two-family dwellings, it did not necessarily
envision the scenario in which individual units would need to be replaced or improved
decades later.
If requests came forward for replacement or new development of a separated two-family
dwelling, the proposed language allows for different design review standards in
situations when two-family dwellings appear as separate and distinct development lots.
These regulations would apply to situations that could arise in the coming years within
the Town of Vail.
Possible Effects:
Approving the proposed text amendment could open the doors up to architects,
developers, and homeowners first applying for a separation request (14-10-6(B)),
followed by the request for different design. This is currently not the case, because
separation of two-family dwellings offer little incentives to developers; however, new
applications could arrive as a result of the proposed text amendment.
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal
development objectives; and
Support:
The amendment provides opportunities for unique situations where separated two-
family dwellings face conditions such as slope, access taken from different streets, or
other conditions while limiting possible adverse effects on neighboring properties and
community aesthetics.
Town of Vail Page 10
Additionally, the proposed text amendment does not alter Section 14-10-6(B), the
standard required to approve a separation request for a two-family dwelling, This code
section demonstrates that there is still a land use regulatory framework beneath the
proposed amendment that will continue to further the intent of Vail's development
objectives.
Possible Effects:
The municipal development objectives were created to help protect property values,
ensure the aesthetic quality of the community, and ensure adequate development of
property within the Town of Vail. While the Development Standards have been followed,
there are a handful of nonconforming detached and attached two-family dwelling sites,
which will be required to follow adopted codes at the time of their redevelopment.
Otherwise, the proposed text amendment could allow the nonconforming properties to
remain out of compliance with one another's design. The appearance of compatible
residences on the same development lot could change over time with the proposed text
amendment.
5. Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission
and/or council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment.

Proposed Amendment to Residential Development Standards
Existing Code Language:
14-10-6: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT:
A. The purpose of this section is to ensure that residential development be designed in a
manner that creates an architecturally integrated structure with unified site development.
Dwelling units and garages shall be designed within a single structure, except as set forth in
subsection B of this section, with the use of unified architectural and landscape design. A
single structure shall have common roofs and building walls that create enclosed space
substantially above grade. Unified architectural and landscape design shall include, but not be
limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms,
massing, architectural details, site grading and landscape materials and features.
B. The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of units and
garages on a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall
be made by the design review board. "Significant site constraints" shall be defined as natural
features of a lot such as stands of mature trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other
natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, other natural features, and existing
structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and development of a lot.
Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage
from a unit. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to request a determination from the design
review board as to whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work
on the project is presented. This determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the
proposal based on review of the site, a detailed survey of the lot and a preliminary site plan of
the proposed structure(s).
C. The residential development may be designed to accommodate the development of
dwelling units and garages in more than one structure if the design review board determines
that significant site constraints exist on the lot. The use of unified architectural and landscape
design as outlined herein shall be required for the development. In addition, the design review
board may require that one or more of the following common design elements such as fences,
walls, patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, landscape elements, or other architectural
features be incorporated to create unified site development. (Ord. 29(2005) § 82: Ord., 9-21-
1999)
Proposed Code Language:
14-10-6: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT:
A. The purpose of this section is to ensure that residential development be designed in a
manner that creates an architecturally integrated structure with unified site development.
Dwelling units and garages shall be designed within a single structure, except as set forth in
subsections B, C, and D of this section, with the use of unified architectural and landscape
design. A single structure shall have common roofs and building walls that create enclosed
space substantially above grade. Unified architectural and landscape design shall include, but
not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms,
massing, architectural details, site grading and landscape materials and features.
B. The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of units and
garages on a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall
be made by the design review board. "Significant site constraints" shall be defined as natural
features of a lot such as stands of mature trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other
natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, other natural features, and existing
structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and development of a lot.
Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage
from a unit. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to request a determination from the design
review board as to whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work
on the project is presented. This determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the
proposal based on review of the site, a detailed survey of the lot and a preliminary site plan of
the proposed structure(s).
C. The residential development may be designed to accommodate the development of
dwelling units and garages in more than one structure if the design review board determines
that significant site constraints exist on the lot. Except as set forth in subsection D, the use
of unified architectural and landscape design as outlined herein shall be required for the
development. In addition, the design review board may require that one or more of the
following common design elements such as fences, walls, patios, decks, retaining walls,
walkways, landscape elements, or other architectural features be incorporated to create unified
site development.
D. The design review board may find that there are conditions where a unified
architectural and landscape design may not be required of separated two-family
dwellings. For unified architectural and landscape design to not be required of a
separated two-family dwelling, one of the following conditions must be demonstrated:
1. Where slope of the terrain creates significant elevation differences between
separated two-family dwelling units, causing them to appear as separate and
distinct development lots;
2. Where access to separated two-family dwelling units is taken from different
streets, causing them to appear as separate and distinct development lots; or
3. Other conditions, as determined by the design review board, that cause separated
two-family dwelling units to appear as separate and distinct development lots.

Re: PEC 18-0005
To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this letter in support of the application for PEC 18-0005. This application is for the
requested amendment of the Town of Vail code, section 14-10-6: Residential Development. The
intent is to alter the Design Review Board (DRB) standards applied to separated two-family
dwellings that appear as separate and distinct development lots. Currently the Town of Vail code
requires that all separated two-family dwellings utilize "unified architectural and landscape
design", regardless of any mitigating circumstances that may make this standard inappropriate.
The requested amendment is designed to give the DRB flexibility to apply a different standard in
situations where varied architectural design of separated two-family dwellings would benefit the
community and improve the character of the Town of Vail, specifically when they appear more as
two distinct single-family homes. In the situations that the requested amendment addresses, varied
architectural design is a more appropriate standard and allows for a more harmonious development
of the community than the use of unified architectural design.
The situation in which the applicant has personal experience with the limitations of the DRB
standard as currently written is with 2658 Arosa Dr. The lot at 2658 Arosa is the undeveloped
secondary portion of a Two -Family Primary/Secondary lot. The primary portion of the lot is a pre-
existing home at 2610 Arosa Dr that was constructed in 1982. The lot has a steep slope, and if a
home were to be built on the vacant lot, the base elevations of the homes would differ by —30' of
elevation change. The two portions of the lot also take access from different levels of a switchback
at the beginning of Arosa Dr, one driveway to the north, and one to the south. If a home were to
be built on the vacant portion of the lot, a casual observer driving through the neighborhood would
not think that the two homes were associated in any way. They would appear as two completely
distinct single-family homes. The home on the vacant lot would be more visually tied to its
adjacent neighbors to the east and west, than to its technical lot -mate above it to the north.
The applicant began looking at building a personal primary residence on the vacant lot at 2658
Arosa the fall of 2017. Through conceptual review meetings with the DRB, the applicant
discovered that the DRB would be obligated to apply a standard of "unified architectural and
landscape design" between the proposed structure and the existing home at 2610 Arosa. Even
given the unique circumstances of the lot, there was no mechanism in the code to allow the DRB
to apply a different standard of architectural design, and the new home would have to mimic the
design of a home built almost four decades ago. In those meetings, the DRB expressed their
frustration with the way the code was written, and stated that they have encountered similar
situations, but the current language has left them "with their hands tied." If the proposed
amendment were passed, it would allow for the construction of a higher quality residence that
better fits the current character of the neighborhood than the code would currently allow. The
neighborhood has changed substantially since 1982 when the existing residence on the lot was
built, and forcing the design standards of a new home built in 2018 to match the existing home
would be doing the community a disservice.
While the applicant believes this is a potent example of why a code change is justified, he also
fully understands that this is a personal experience, and that code should be written with the broad
goals of the Town of Vail mind. Accordingly, the proposed text amendment was developed and
written through months of collaboration with Town Staff, local professional land planners, and
local architects. Local architects confirmed the DRB's sentiment that there are other situations in
the Town of Vail that would benefit from this amendment. Also, it was written narrowly in scope
to apply only to separated two-family dwellings that appear as separate and distinct development
lots. The goal is to allow the DRB flexibility in applying their design standards when separated
two-family dwellings appear to be independent single-family homes as opposed to related
duplexes. In these cases, it makes more sense to allow varied architectural design between the two
units in order to allow for higher quality development that brings more visual interest to the
neighborhood. Otherwise, the DRB is forced to apply a unified standard that creates two
independent structures with identical design, which to the casual observer may seem visually
awkward and degrade the character of the neighborhood.
It is the applicant's belief that the code amendment should be approved for the following reasons:
1. The amendment furthers the purposes of the DRB's design review standards by giving it
more flexibility in a set of unique situations where the code is currently deficient, as
written.
2. The amendment better achieves the goals of Vail to be a "residential community of the
highest quality" by allowing for the construction of high quality residences that reflect
changes to neighborhood character that would be forbidden under the current code.
3. The amendment promotes the harmonious development of Vail by allowing the DRB to
consider lot -specific circumstances that would allow for the construction of residences
more suitable to a neighborhood's character.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this amendment. It is the applicant's hope that you
will approve this amendment to give the DRB much needed flexibility to allow for the continued
development of Vail as a world-class mountain community.

Re: PEC 18-0005
To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this letter in support of the criteria outlined in Town of Vail Code Section 12-3-7-C-
2 required for consideration in the approval of the proposed text amendment regarding design
standards for separated duplexes.
Section 12-3-7-C-2 states that "Before acting on an application for an amendment to the
regulations prescribed in this title, the planning and environmental commission and town council
shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text amendment:" Below please
find these factors, along with support for how the proposed text amendment upholds each:
"The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the
zoning regulations "
In Section 12-1-2, the Purpose of the Town of Vail zoning regulations, one of its stated purposes
is "To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town." The proposed text amendment directly
furthers this aim by giving the DRB flexibility to approve designs of high-quality separated
duplexes that would currently by barred under the code. As currently written, the Vail code
requires a separated duplex owner wishing to make improvements to his or her home to match the
existing design of their duplex -mate, regardless of how out outdated or aged it may be. Even if the
side of the separated duplex wishing to be improved upon was constructed after the other half of
the separated duplex, the new structure must match the old one, essentially forcing its design to go
back in time to when the other half was constructed. This forces a separated duplex owner wishing
to improve their home to potentially perpetuate outdated design choices, or as is currently
happening across Vail, simply discouraging an owner or potential buyer from improving a home
at all. By adopting this amendment, the Town of Vail would enhance its appearance by allowing
separated duplex owners who wish to improve their homes with modern, updated design, and
improved materials to do so. It would also incentivize the updating of aging structures that are
currently trapped in limbo, due to the code as currently written.
"The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve the
applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail
comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town"
The third stated goal of the Vail Land Use Plan under Chapter II is that, "The quality of
development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible." As written, the Vail code is
obstructing this goal by discouraging separated duplex owners from improving or upgrading their
homes, due to being tied to their duplex -mate in design. Some parties have stated that the goal of
the language as written is to ensure that both sides of a separated duplex are brought up to spec
together. But given the realities of homeownership, where some owners have the funds to improve
their homes, but others do not, this is simply not happening. The applicant is aware of at least two
other on-going situations where this is occurring. And as a result, separated duplexes are being left
to age and deteriorate, even when some owners are eager to improve their units. This amendment
would remove that obstacle, opening the path for many units around Vail to be upgraded and
improved.
"The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially
changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no
longer appropriate or is inapplicable"
The simple fact is that Vail is beginning to age. Units constructed in the boom era of the `70s and
`80s are starting to show their age and require replacement or remodel. And the original developers
who constructed these separated duplexes are long gone, with the properties in question left with
different owners of each half, each with their own motives and financial situations. So while the
code originally may have been intended to address the simultaneous construction of two separate
duplexes, it did not envision the scenario in which individual units would need to be replaced or
improved, decades down the road. And thus, given the common situation where an owner wants
to improve their unit, but their duplex -mate does not have the means to, the code has created a
roadblock to the improvement of the character and quality of a unit in Vail. As it stands, the Vail
code has created a prisoner's dilemma that disincentivizes either owner from making any
improvements to their unit. This amendment removes that roadblock.
"The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable
relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development
objectives"
The municipal development objectives state that their goal is for Vail to be a "residential
community of the highest quality." Forcing an owner of a separated duplex wishing to improve
their unit to match the design and materials of decades ago is not consistent with promoting
development of the "highest quality". Rather, it is regressive and can have very real impacts to
degrading the character of a neighborhood, when instead it could have been a vast improvement.
It is also critical to note that, even if a different architectural standard is allowed between separated
duplexes, the code still requires that "Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their
surroundings, and with Vail's environment." So even with the proposed amendment approved, the
new or updated structure would still need to be compatible with its neighbors, and the DRB would
still exert strong control over its design. Also, the proposed text amendment does not alter the
standard required to approve a separation request for a duplex. So there is still a high bar to clear
before a duplex can be separated in the first place. This shows that there is still a strong land use
regulatory framework beneath this proposed amendment that will continue to further the intent of
Vail's development objectives.
"Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and/or
council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. "
Outside of the prescribed criteria for approval, it should be noted that this practice of allowing
different architectural standards for separated duplexes has been occurring in a de facto sense in
some respects for years now. While different DRBs have taken different views on the matter, in a
single afternoon of searching, the applicant was able to find ten examples of existing separated
duplexes in Vail that have radically different architectural design between each side. This shows
that the proposed text amendment is addressing a need that has been satisfied "off the record" for
quite some time.
"That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals,
objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the
development objectives of the town"
Please refer to the response regarding the second criterion listed above.
"That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations"
Please refer to the response regarding the first criterion listed above.
"That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town
and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that
conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort
and residential community of the highest quality."
Simply put, Vail is aging, and owners of separated duplexes need the flexibility to upgrade and
improve their units without being shackled to the outdated design and materials of their duplex -
mates, who are often not in a position to improve their units along with them. By approving this
amendment, Vail will ensure that when owners of a separate duplex desire to improve their unit
and upgrade its design with modern architecture and materials, they are able to do so. This will
ensure that Vail continues to develop and evolve in the best way possible through changing times.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this amendment. It is the applicant's hope that you
will approve this amendment to give the DRB much needed flexibility to allow for the continued
development of Vail as a world-class mountain community.

RE: Text Amendment PEC 18-005 Proposed amendment to residential Design Standards
Regarding Separated Duplexes
To Whom It May Concern,
As concerned architects who have worked extensively in the Town of Vail, some of us for
decades, we would like to take this opportunity to address the issue of material and design
conformity between legally separated duplexes. As you are well aware, there is a growing and
looming issue as Vail ages and existing residences require renewal and basic updating. Since
so many of the properties in Vail are duplexes this creates issues and problems between
neighbors if one side is either unwilling or unable to upgrade their unit. The current guidelines
to the DRB forces the motivated side to match architecture that may be decades old. This
creates numerus conflicts and disincentivizes homeowners from upgrading their homes.
Fortunately, you can solve this issue for a subset within the duplex and primary secondary
zoning. A number of duplex or P/S zoned units have been legally separated. We believe these
should be addressed as individual units from a design standpoint. It simply does not make
sense for two freestanding units, especially those built or rebuilt decades apart to use the same
forms, building materials or details. For example, a buyer of a detached duplex today who
desires a contemporary home should not be forced to build a log structure if the units are
separated. The issue is further compounded by inconsistent enforcement in years past.
Currently, the review board has the authority and obligation to make sure that all homes in Vail
are compatible, as stated in the opening paragraph of the Design Review Standards and
guidelines. (Emphasis added)
A. Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their surroundings, and with Vail's
environment. It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike to be compatible. Compatibility
can be achieved through the proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning,
landscaping, materials and colors, and compliance with the guidelines herein contained.
As you can see from above, allowing the DRB to judge a detached unit on its own architectural
merit will in no way restrict them from considering compatibility with the other side of the duplex
(or any other portion of the neighborhood). If the individual situation is such that the DRB thinks
it better that the units match, so be it. However, the DRB should be given the latitude to review
individual units based on their own merits, and not necessarily the specifics of one neighbor.
Treating detached duplexes as individual units only makes sense. These homes live, function,
and appear as individual units. We believe having them designed as individual projects, rather
than a portion of a larger structure is far more desirable for the town and the general public.
Discounting this approach because it would create a haphazard or incentivize people to seek
detached duplexes simple does not hold water. This will allow the review board to approach
each unit on its individual and unique merits and it remains within the DRB's purview to address
any issue of compatibility to avoid a haphazard or hodge-podge approach, just as they have
since the inception of the DRB. As to this promoting people to pursue detached units, we
believe that is a very good thing. We believe two smaller well-designed homes can present a
much more human scale than one large structure. While this may incentivize homeowners to
seek a separation, we believe the standards for the separation should remain. It is not the intent
of this letter to request that the standards for creating a detached duplex be lessened, only that
the individual units be judged on their own merits where appropriate.
In summary, we do not see a down side to this common-sense approach. The DRB maintains
all the control they have always had, but it allows the separated projects to be approached in
a unique architectural fashion and judged according to the Town of Vail guidelines above
without the influences of what may be a dated vocabulary. This only makes sense.

Design Standards
Regarding Separated Duplexes
To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is in support of the above Text Amendment.
As members of the construction and building community we support
maintaining strong property values and a solid construction market that this text
amendment would help protect. We see the potential for damage to both
without this being enacted. The flexibility within this amendment allows the
Design Review Board to continue to protect the neighborhoods of Vail, as well
as construction and trade without stifling creativity. This protects the freedom
of choice for our clients without sacrificing guidance of the Design Review
Board.
This is a common-sense approach solution that allows clients to build a home
of their choice but ensures that it is still respectful of the neighbors. While the
local construction market is strong at the moment we are all too aware of how
that can change. Removing road blocks, while maintaining reasonable design
control is something we support.

Memorandum
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 29, 2018
SUBJECT: A request for review of a variance from Section 12-15-3 Definition, Calculation
and Exclusions, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Title 12, Chapter 17, Variances,
Vail Town Code, to allow for an access opening to a crawl space of greater than
12 square feet, located at 2014 West Gore Creek Drive, Unit 5/Lot 41-43 (Hamlet
Townhouses), Vail Village West Filing 2, and setting forth details in regard
thereto. (PEC18-0009)
Applicant: Holly Proctor and John Hutto, represented by Martin Manley
Architects
Planner: Chris Neubecker
SUMMARY
The applicants, Holly Proctor and John Hutto, represented by Martin Manley Architects,
are requesting the review of a variance from Section 12-15-3, Definition, Calculation
and Exclusions, Vail Town Code, for the property located at 2014 West Gore Creek
Drive / Unit 5/Lot 41-43 (Hamlet Townhouses). The variance would allow for the
construction of a crawl space with an access opening (door) larger than 12 square feet,
which is the size limit to qualify as crawl space and thus not count as GRFA.
Based upon staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends denial of this application, subject to the findings in Section VIII of this
memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicants, Holly Proctor and John Hutto, represented by Martin Manley Architects,
recently obtained approval of a Design Review Board (DRB) application (DRB17-0392)
to construct a 225 square foot storage space at the rear of the home, under an existing
deck. Approval by the Design Review Board was conditioned upon the storage space
being limited to no greater than five feet (5') in headroom, with an access opening of no
larger than 12 square feet. This was done because any crawlspace or storage space
over five feet (5') in headroom, or with an access opening larger than 12 square feet, is
considered gross residential floor area (GRFA). There is no available GRFA remaining
on the property, and since the site is nonconforming on the density (dwelling units per
acre), the GRFA could not be used even if there was remaining GRFA.
The applicants are requesting a variance to allow a crawl space access opening (door)
larger than 12 square feet. The proposed access door is 24 square feet.
A vicinity map (Attachment A), project narrative with applicant's responses to variance
criteria (Attachment B), and plan set (Attachment C) are attached for review.
III. BACKGROUND
This application was last reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission
(PEC) on April 9, 2018. During that meeting, some PEC members asked for more
information on the purposes of the zoning ordinance, and discussed the potential for a
rezoning rather than a variance. Other Commissioners discussed the requested size of
the access opening and if the opening size was excessive relative to the allowed
opening size.
IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Staff finds that the following provisions of the Vail Town Code are relevant to the review
of this proposal:
Title 12 — Title, Purpose and Applicability
12-1-2: PURPOSE
A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health,
safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and
harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its
natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community
of high quality.
B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific
purposes.-
1.
urposes:1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities.
2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and
other dangerous conditions.
3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to
lessen congestion in the streets.
4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading
facilities.
5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values.
6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses,
consistent with municipal development objectives.
Town of Vail Page 2
7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with
structures.
8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town.
9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable
natural features.
10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities
and facilities conducive to desired living quarters.
11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community.
Title 12 — Article D, Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District
12-6D-1: PURPOSE
The two-family primary/secondary residential district is intended to provide sites for
single-family residential uses or two-family residential uses in which one unit is a larger
primary residence and the second unit is a smaller caretaker apartment, together with
such public facilities as may appropriately be located in the same zone district. The two-
family primary/secondary residential district is intended to ensure adequate light, air,
privacy and open space for each dwelling, commensurate with single-family and two-
family occupancy, and to maintain the desirable residential qualities of such sites by
establishing appropriate site development standards.
Title 12 — Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA)
12-15-1: PURPOSE
This chapter is intended to control and limit the size, bulk, and mass of residential
structures within the town. Gross residential floor area (GRFA) regulation is an effective
tool for limiting the size of residential structures and ensuring that residential structures
are developed in an environmentally sensitive manner by allowing adequate air and
light in residential areas and districts.
12-15-3: Definition, Calculation, and Exclusions.-
A.
xclusions:
A. Within the hillside residential (HR), single-family residential (SFR), two-family
residential (R), and two-family primary/secondary residential (PS) districts.-
1.
istricts:
1. Gross Residential Floor Area Defined: For residential uses, the total square footage
of all horizontal areas on all levels of a structure, as measured to the outside face of
the sheathing of the exterior walls (i.e., not including exterior wall finishes). Floor
area shall include, but not be limited to, elevator shafts and stairwells at each level
lofts, fireplaces, bay windows, mechanical spaces, vents and chases, storage areas,
and other similar areas. Garages; attics; vaulted or open to below spaces;
basements, crawl spaces, and roofed or covered decks, porches, terraces, or patios
shall be included as floor area, except the horizontal areas of a structure as set forth
herein shall then be deducted from the calculation of GRFA.
Town of Vail Page 3
a. GRFA shall be calculated by measuring the total square footage of a building as set
forth in the definition above. Excluded areas as set forth herein, shall then each be
deducted from the total square footage.
(1) Enclosed Garage Area: Enclosed garage areas of up to three hundred (300) square
feet per vehicle space not exceeding a maximum of two (2) vehicle parking spaces
for each allowable dwelling unit permitted by this title.
Garage area deducted from floor area is awarded on a "per space basis" and shall
be contiguous to a vehicular parking space. Each vehicular parking space shall be
designed with direct and unobstructed vehicular access.
Alcoves, storage areas, and mechanical areas which are located in a garage and
which are twenty five percent (25%) or more open to the garage area may be
included in the garage area deduction.
Interior walls separating the garage from other areas of a structure may be included
in the garage area deduction.
(2) Attic Areas With A Ceiling Height Of Five Feet Or Less: Attic areas with a ceiling
height of five feet (5) or less, as measured from the topside of the structural
members of the floor to the underside of the structural members of the roof directly
above.
(5) Crawl Spaces: Crawl spaces accessible through an opening not greater than twelve
(12) square feet in area, with five feet (5) or less of ceiling height, as measured from
the surface of the earth to the underside of structural floor members of the
floor/ceiling assembly above.
Crawl spaces created by a "stepped foundation", hazard mitigation, or other similar
engineering requirement that has a total height in excess of five feet (5) may be
excluded from GRFA calculations at the discretion of the Administrator.
Title 12 —Variances, Vail Town Code
12-17-1: Purpose.-
A.
urpose:
A. Reasons For Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to lessen such practical
difficulties and unnecessary physical hardships inconsistent with the objectives of
this title as would result from strict or literal interpretation and enforcement,
variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practical difficulty or
unnecessary physical hardship may result from the size, shape, or dimensions of a
site or the location of existing structures thereon; from topographic or physical
conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or from other physical limitations,
street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity. Cost or inconvenience to the
Town of Vail Page 4
applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation shall not be a reason for
granting a variance.
B. Development Standards Excepted: Variances may be granted only with respect to
the development standards prescribed for each zone district, including lot area and
site dimensions, setbacks, distances between buildings, height, density control,
building bulk control, site coverage, usable open space, landscaping and site
development, and parking and loading requirements, or with respect to the
provisions of chapter 11 of this title, governing physical development on a site.
C. Use Regulations Not Affected: The power to grant variances does not extend to the
use regulations prescribed for each zone district because the flexibility necessary to
avoid results inconsistent with the objectives of this title is provided by chapter 16,
"Conditional Use Permits", and by section 12-3-7, "Amendment", of this title.
12-17-5: PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION ACTION.-
Within
CTION:
Within twenty (20) days of the closing of a public hearing on a variance application, the
planning and environmental commission shall act on the application. The commission
may approve the application as submitted or may approve the application subject to
such modifications or conditions as it deems necessary to accomplish the purposes of
this title, or the commission may deny the application. A variance may be revocable,
may be granted for a limited time period, or may be granted subject to such other
conditions as the commission may prescribe.
12-17-6: CRITERIA AND FINDINGS.-
A.
INDINGS:
A. Factors Enumerated: Before acting on a variance application, the planning and
environmental commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the
requested variance.-
1.
ariance:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and
structures in the vicinity.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or 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.
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.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed
variance.
Town of Vail Page 5
B. Necessary Findings: The planning and environmental commission shall make the
following findings before granting 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 zone
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 or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent
with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the site of the variance that do not generally apply to other properties in the same
zone district.
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same zone district.
Title 12 — Nonconforming Sites, Uses, Structures and Site Improvements
12-18-1: Purpose
This chapter is intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming uses and
structures by prohibiting or limiting their enlargement, their reestablishment after
abandonment, and their restoration after substantial destruction. While permitting
nonconforming uses, structures, and improvements to continue, this chapter is intended
to limit enlargement, alteration, restoration, or replacement which would increase the
discrepancy between existing conditions and the development standards prescribed by
this title.
12-18-4: Uses
The use of a site or structure lawfully established prior to the effective date hereof which
does not conform to the use regulations prescribed by this title for the zone district in
which it is situated may be continued, provided that no such nonconforming use shall be
enlarged to occupy a greater site area or building floor area than it occupied on the
effective date hereof. Any subsequent reduction in site area or floor area occupied by a
nonconforming use shall be deemed a new limitation, and the use shall not thereafter
be enlarged to occupy a greater site area or floor area than such new limitation. (Ord.
29(2005) § 40: Ord. 5(2001) § 5: Ord. 8(1973) § 20.400)

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria for a variance request are prescribed in Title 12, Chapter 17,
Variances, Vail Town Code. Before acting on a variance application, the PEC shall
consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance:
Town of Vail Page 7
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses
and structures in the vicinity.
The proposed access opening larger than 12 square feet will have no significant
impact on other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
The benefit of the proposed larger access opening would be increased functionality,
improving the ability to store items that might otherwise remain outdoors, such as a
picnic table or deck furniture.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or 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.
Relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the regulations is not
necessary to achieve compatibility or uniformity of treatment among sites in the
vicinity. Granting a variance for the larger access opening does not help to achieve
compatibility or uniformity of treatment among sites in the area.
Staff finds that there is nothing unique about this property that warrants a variance
for the size of the access opening. While we agree that the access opening greater
than 12 square feet would be convenient and would make the storage area more
functional, it is not necessary to achieve compatibility or uniformity of treatment. As a
result, staff finds that proposed larger access opening would create a special
privilege for the applicant.
Staff finds the proposed variance does not meet this criterion.
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 proposed variance will not have any significant impact on light and air,
distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities or
utilities. By granting the variance, the storage area will be more functional, which
may help to improve public safety by allowing the applicant more space to store
items out of public view, which may potentially reduce clutter and opportunities for
theft in the area.
Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the
proposed variance.

ATTACHMENT B - APPLICANT NARRATIVE
APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE
A. Name and address of the owner and/or applicant and a statement that the applicant, if not
the owner, has the permission of the owner to make application and act as agent for the
owner.
John M. Hutto and Holly W. Proctor, 2014 West Gore Creek Drive, Unit 11, Vail, CO 81657
B. Legal description, street address, and other identifying data concerning the site:
Hamlet Townhouses 5 and 6, 2014 W. Gore Creek Drive, Vail, CO
Parcels # 2103-114-18-008 & 2103 -114-18-009
C. A statement of the precise nature of the variance requested, the regulation involved, and
the practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives
of this title that would result from strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation.
Applicant requests a variance from the restrictions in place with respect to the size of the
access opening to the crawl space that is limited to 5' in height under the Two -Family
Primary /Secondary Residential (PS) zoning applicable to the site. The size of an access door
under these regulations is limited to no more than 12 square feet. Applicant requests the
ability to construct a door that is the height of the storage space (5') and 6' wide (double
doors of 3' each).
The storage area is designed to enclose the area under a deck which sits approximately 8
feet off the ground due to the existing natural grade. The storage will not be climate
controlled or otherwise habitable nor is it intended for any use other than storage.
This request is predicated on the practical difficulty that is imposed by the GRFA restrictions
that limit the height of the storage area to 5' in height; a door opening of only 12' feet
further inhibits the usability and functionality of the storage area, intended to house
sporting gear, furniture, lawn, landscaping and snow removal equipment, and other
household items. With access to the storage limited to such a severe degree, many of these
items will be left outside and exposed, thereby creating an eyesore for the project and
community as well as a safety concern resulting from the unnecessary risk of theft or
damage.
With respect to the relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity, the proposed access opening of greater than 12 square
feet will have no have an adverse impact on such uses or structures.
Relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation will,
in effect, allow for compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity.
Across Gore Creek, Casa Del Sol is a multi -family project zoned Residential Cluster. Directly
across West Gore Creek Drive, Ptarmigan Townhomes is a multi -family project zoned
Residential Cluster. For some reason, the Hamlet was zoned under the Primary / Secondary
designation, which in turn imposes an undue hardship by requiring conformance with P/S
restrictions on an existing multi -family project.
Had the Hamlet been zoned in a way that was consistent with sites in the vicinity, i.e. the
neighboring developments including Casa del Sol and Ptarmigan Townhomes, the Applicant
would be permitted a storage space of 250 square feet and a door of appropriate height.
The Applicant seeks no "special privilege" in this application yet requests consideration that
would be granted had the zoning been correctly applied. The hardship imposed by the
existing zoning designation essentially penalizes the Applicant for owning property that is
part of a 29 unit complex (originally 30) and yet is zoned for Primary / Secondary use.
Finally, the proposed opening will not have any significant effect on light and air,
distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, pubic facilities and utilities
and public safety. The proposed access, by increasing the functionality of the storage area,
will in fact, enhance public safety by mitigating the risk of vandalism and theft at the
property and for the neighborhood.
D. A site plan showing all existing and proposed features on the site, and on adjoining sites if
necessary, pertinent to the variance requested, including site boundaries, required
setbacks, building locations and heights, topography and physical features, and similar
data. The site plan has been provided under the previous Application for Variance.
E. Such additional material as the administrator may prescribe or the applicant may submit
pertinent to the application and to the findings prerequisite to the issuance of a variance
as prescribed in section 12-17-6 of this chapter.
Please recall the buildings on site were built in 1971 under Eagle County jurisdiction. The
Hamlet was a replat of Lots 41, 42, and 43 of the Vail Village West Filing 2 that was recorded
in 1965, under Eagle County Jurisdiction. Those lots were later platted as The Hamlet in
1975, under Eagle County jurisdiction. This property, along with others in the
neighborhood, were annexed to the Town in January 1986 (Ordinance No. 18, Series of
1986). The neighborhood was subsequently zoned by the Town to Primary Secondary Two -
Family Residential in March of 1986 (Ordinance No. 10, Series of 1986).
In this case, as noted above, it is not understood why the Hamlet was singled out under the
Primary / Secondary zoning designation while the neighboring multi -family properties were
more appropriately zoned under Residential Cluster. Given the fact that the annexation
took place in 1986, it is unlikely we will determine the basis for the designation, however,
the Applicant requests that this variance be considered in the context of the hardship
imposed as a result of zoning that was and is incongruent with the existing improvements as
well as the fact that this request does not reflect the Applicant seeking special privilege, but
rather treatment that would be consistent with that granted to owners of similar properties
in the vicinity.

CODE SUMMARY
This project falls under the iursidiction of:
The Town of Vail Design Review Board and Building Department
The 2015 International Existing Building Code (IEBC 2015)
The 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC 2015)
Class of Work: Residential Renovation / Alteration
Type of Occupancy: R-2 (Apartment Houses)
Type of Construction: Type V -B (Non-Sprinklered)
Levels: 3 -story (Non -Conforming)
The Building is essentially a mirror-image duplex with a property line
running through the middle. It was designed and built with 6 separate
apartments on three levels making it non -conforming as a duplex or
townhouse by modern code. The lot line is proposed to be
abandoned and two dwelling units on the main level combined by the
removal (alteration) of a separation wall. This will make the building a
5 -unit apartment building and will fall under the IEBC2015 as an
occupany classification of R-2 non-sprinklered. There is also
proposed the elimination of shared entrances thus creating separate
entrances for all the units of the building.
The work being proposed falls under the "prescriptive" option for
alterations in section 403 of the IEBC 2015. The alteration work is
making the building better from a code standpoint by reducing the
number of dwelling units as well as eliminating shared exits.
The building as originally built is 3 -stories in height. This is another
non-conformance from the 2015 code. An R-2 non-sprinklered
building may not be more than 2 stories in height (see table 504.4)
however the NS (non-sprinklered) value is only for use in evaluation of
existing building height in accordance with the International Existing
Building Code. Since the remodel work is categorized as interior
"alteration" only and does not affect building height or stories in any
way, the non -conformity does not get worse and can remain.
FIRE DEPT. SUMMARY
Town of Vail Fire Dept. Notes:
Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide alarms must be installed IN
ALL DWELLING UNITS, and be installed per 2015 IFC and VFES fire
alarm installation standards.
A monitored system is required.

bonuses, not residents.
