Applicant'VailPoint LLC, represented by Pylman &Associates, Inc.
Planner: Jonathan Spence
Planner Spence began by introducing the application and stated it would be
best to discuss Items 3.3 and 3.4 together. Spence presented three
correspondences provided to Staff through email. He then presented an
overview of both items.
Rick Pylman, representative of the applicant, provided a presentation to the
PEC. Pylman provided history on 366 Hanson Ranch Road. Lot D was
originally sold by Vail Associates in 1963, prior to zoning and subdivision
regulations. Prior to incorporation into the Town, Lot D was subdivided.
There are three parcels that were split off from Lot D. Pylman stated there
has been a fence area around the Lot for a long time and many subsequent
owners. Pylman clarified the areas around the Lot has been zoned Public
Accommodation. The blue area shown is the original deeded property, the
hatched areas, which are fenced, are outside the deeded area. Pylman
stated the area will all be zoned Public Accommodation.
Pylman stated there are covenants on D-1 and the subject property. The
applicant stated the covenants remain unaffected.
Spence added the covenants will remain unaffected per speaking with the
Town Attorney as well. He added this is private space.
Stockmar asked is there an anticipation of a potential expansion to the
house?
Pylman stated the lot becomes conforming to the minimum lot size.
Stockmar stated the house is at its maximum for GRFA.
Gillete asked if there is a such thing as Private Open Space
Spence stated we should clarify the zoning of the property since 1971 has
been as error since following the meets and bounds description. Staff
believes the property within the fence is private side and backyard, not Open
Space.
Perez asked why is the applicant replatting but not replatting into the correct
zone district.
Spence — The request to plat is to combine the two lots. The appropriate
zoning for this property per the adopted plans is PA.
Hopkins —Asked why the zone district is changing with this application.
Spence — Staff stated we do not allow properties to have multiple zoning. He
also clarified the hatched area of the fence now has a legal description and
is a parcel with the court's description. The hatched area is now under the
ownership of 366 Hanson Ranch Road after court order.
Perez —Are there any development agreements with Vail Resorts that affect
private agreements?
Spence — There was a workshop meeting with Town Council to discuss the
covenants that existed at that time and present day.
Pylman — Stated the client is looking at the possibility of building a lodging
type use within the site.
Stockmar —Asked if there is something happening in the background
outside of the application, such as expanding GRFA.
Spence — Clarified its current use as Single Family would not allow
expansion. There are underlying covenants that severely restrict future
development.
Kjesbo — If the applicant were to build in the future, Kjesbo clarified the
setbacks for the zone district.
Kurz —Asked Spence to clarify the notice requirements of the PEC.
Spence — Listed the recipients of the notice, which met all requirements of
the Code.
Pylman — Did add the newspaper notice was met as well.
Public Comment
Carol Krueger — Kruger was one of the email correspondents with staff. She
asked what reasonable expectations for redevelopment could occur on the
site. Kruger then explained the history of Lot D. She asked the Town to be
clear what the expectations are as this property has been zoned Open
Space. She asked does the Town intend for this property to remain Open
Space in the future. Kruger stated a plat restriction was a viable option.
Spence — Private covenants and zoning are two separate matters. As far as
open space, covenants relate to above ground improvements. The
expectation for a redevelopment is that the lot will be developed per the lot's
zone district. The Town generally does not zone a private space as Open
Space.
Gillete — How is the private open space maintained through a development,
such as Grand Traverse.
Spence — It would not be a rezoning, but would be an amendment to the
development plan.
Hopkins —Asked what would happen if the Town did not vote to change the
zoning.
Spence — Explained the consequences of not voting for approval of the
application. Spence stated the Town of Vail is a party to the covenants,
including members of the subdivision and different layers.
Gillette —Asked how the PEC would preserve the open space.
Spence — Stated this has functioned as private property. It has the zoning of
Agricultural and Open Space. The historic property line has existed for over
50 years and has been perceived as private open space as the backyard of
the single family home.
Sarah Baker (Attorney for the applicant)— To enforce the covenant is the
best way to verify the area is not developed in the future. Stated the Town
has enforceable covenants which it can enforce.
Gillette —Asked if the applicant would plat the area as Open Space
Stockmar — Stated the PEC has not seen the covenants.
Spence —Added the covenants should not influence the PEC's decision
today.
Sarah Baker — Explained the three covenants.
Kurz — Stated the PEC is asked to review what is before the PEC today.
The PEC is now faced with cleaning up something that was created 50
years ago. Kurz stated the PEC look at the two items (3.3 and 3.4) together
and vote on the direction that the PEC has been asked today or table if the
public has not been provided enough information.
Stockmar —Stated this is a difficult parcel with much time that has passed
since this has been done.
Spence — Clarified that Commissioner Stockmar is referring to one owner.
Stockmar — Wants to know the history and what is going on present day. He
is trying to figure out what is going on and cannot make a decision based on
uncertainties.
Spence — Stated you are being asked today to vote on a consolidated
exemption plat and a recommendation to Town Council for a rezoning.
PEC Comment
Gillette —A split rail fence should not dictate the Town of Vail zoning Code.
Stated it should remain the way it is today. The intent that the area was
intended to be Open Space and should remain as open space.
Stockmar — Stated the PEC look at tabling the application and have the
applicant provide the applicable covenants.
Perez —Asked for the "linked commitment"
Baker — Stated she could read the three covenants. Baker then read the
applicable private covenant recorded July 8, 1963, which references the
south area, not D-1. Baker then read the covenant for Tract E. Baker read
the covenant from 1971.
Gillette — The PEC cannot enforce the covenants, but can enforce open
space.
Kjesbo — Stated he believes it should be consolidated. The PEC cannot deal
with private covenants, but they are in place. He stated he would like to see
the application approved.
Hopkins — The zoning was implemented in 1971 around the Tivoli. It was
intended for the area to be open space and she wants to preserve the area.
Hopkins wants to enforce the covenants around D-1. It is one of the few cut
through points to the mountain during the winter.
Kurz —Agrees with Kjesbo. Stated he had a concern earlier with notification
and stated notices were given appropriately and on time. The fact that the
PEC received three letters today, means the PEC should not table today
due to the notice.
Nuebecker — Stated the PEC should focus on the zoning criteria.
Perez —Asked who is in violation to the view corridor.
Spence — Confirmed there is no view corridor on site. The existing
covenants and zoning would provide development standards and protections.
Hopkins —Asked about the potential to build a 24' wide drive aisle near the
trail.
Stockmar — It appears the applicant has met the requirements that are
necessary to be met.
Kurz — Stated the PEC should not ignore the findings provided by Staff. The
decision should be based on Staff's findings and the criteria provided.
Gillete — Motioned for denial based on Goal #4 of the Vail Village Master
Plan. The motion failed without a second.
Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve. Brian Stockmar seconded the motion and it
passed (4-2).

Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The rezoning will

The applicant is returning to the PEC to discuss discreet elements of the
project. No request for formal action is being made at this time. Staff requests
that this item be continued to the July 9, 2018 Planning and Environmental
Commission meeting.
Applicant$attle Mountain LLC, represented by Braun Associates, Inc.
Planner: Jonathan Spence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OanGZnfflns&t=11s (Video of automated
parking system)
Planner Spence began by introducing the application and gave a brief
overview.
Tom Braun then spoke on behalf of Battle Mountain LLC. Braun wanted a
follow up to what happened at the previous PEC meeting. The applicant
made refinements to the plans and intends to present the revised plans today.
Braun walked the PEC through today's agenda covering discussion topics
from the 6/11 staff memo. Today's follow up discussion will cover live beds,
setback variance/west wall, and roof and wall interface.
Setback Variance — The site plan shows unified development at the site. The
setback allows for the sites to be merged together. Braun showed several
different solutions to the large western wall, including a mountain graphic
profile.
Kurz — Stated Braun has addressed the PEC's original comment. Stockmar
agreed.
Roof/Wall Interface — Stated the applicant looked at a lot of different
solutions. The south elevation was shown. The dormer brought out to edge
and removed large eave line
Stockmar — Stated the applicant accommodated the PEC's request and is
moving in the right direction.
Spence — Staff has had the opportunity to review what the PEC sees before
them today. Staff is supportive of the changes.
Roof Material and Snow Shedding — Braun shared photos from other
examples of buildings in Town showing the material.
North Elevation — The rendering shows changes to windows and the dormer
added. This shows the reduction in balconies and windows to reduce
intrusion of the property to the north.
Automated Parking —Automated is used to increase efficiencies, particularly
when working with a small lot and dense areas. There has been a rapid
increase in automated systems in the United States.
Braun then shared a video of the automated system. Braun stated two cars
can move simultaneously with two elevators. The technology will either be
ticket based or fob based systems.
Gillette — Asked if a traffic study would be completed to study the demand
ratio to number of cars would work in the Town of Vail.
Braun — Stated the system can park a car within 90 seconds. The parking is
not for retail parking.
Gillette — Asked if City Lift has dealt with a large amount of silt and salt
during the winter months.
Braun — Maintenance occurs quarterly, but the rate can be increased, if
necessary during the winter months. A system has been installed in
Wisconsin and has been running well, even during the winter months. On the
operations side, most issues are fixed on a computer in LA. One example is
a switch goes out, then a local service provider is sent on sight.
Stockmar — Confirmed access will be taken from the existing alley, which is a
nightmare currently when traffic backs up.
Braun —A good portion of the alley is in the shade. The alley will be heated
to address the past ice issues.
Stockmar — Asked how will parking violations be avoided in the future along
the alleyway.
Braun — Both parties will remedy the situation in the future.
Kjesbo —Asked if a ramp system would work?
Kit Austin — Pierce Architects looked at ramp systems and the ramp would
be inefficient, if not impossible.
Braun — Confirmed there will be two elevators for the cars.
Stockmar —Asked if there will be a connection to the property to the west
Braun — Confirmed there will be no connection.
Pay in Lieu Parking — Parcels in green are the Village Core Area and a few
areas to the eastern side of Lionshead to be within the zone. Parking cannot
be located on the sites within the zone. Braun explained the rationale for the
amendment for the area to be removed from the pay in lieu area.
Existing/Interim/Proposed Parking — Braun presented existing parking
spaces, including the following:
Launch — 52 spaces
Lazier — 91 spaces
• Total — 143 spaces
Proposed Parking includes a total of 71 spaces or more. 91 spaces
are currently shown on plans.
PEC Comments
Kjesbo — Asked can the PEC provide the applicant how to allocate
parking.
Spence — No
Stewart McNab — Stated there is more than the Launch application.
Requested a Condition of approval — parking should match at least the
number that is there currently.
Spence — The review of the demo of the top deck is not under the
purview of the PEC and there is no time limit of when it should be
replaced with redevelopment.
Stockmar — Stated staff provided the PEC with parking plans during
the interim highlighted in the memo.
Dale Bugby — Stated parking in Lionshead is in high demand and of
high value. The original letter than talked about 69 spaces needed to be
protected on the site. There are now four buildings without parking
spaces that cannot be utilized today. Concerned about closing ramp,
which is an access point for his property.
Gillette —Asked if Matt Mire will be at the next meeting.
Spence — Stated it will be an executive session and specific questions
should be highlighted before meeting with the Town Attorney.
Bob Lazier — Stated 69 spaces for Lift House is not the correct
number. Parking will be covered in the future by replacing what is there
currently with the same number, if not more parking.
PEC Comment
Kjesbo — The applicant reviewed the PEC's questions. He is still mixed
on mechanical parking, but understands why the applicant needs to do
it. Still questions the north side from a design perspective, but the DRB
will review the elevation. The applicant addressed the roof very well and
looks forward to the final design.
Gillette — No comment.
Stockmar — Thanked the applicant for resolving the lid issue. The north
facade is still boring, but it is outside the PEC's purview to address. He
has seen the automated parking work over the years, even in bigger
buildings.
Perez — Thanked Staff and the applicant for addressing concerns.
Concerned though over the size of the parking garage due to the large
number of visitors. Perez asked for clarification over size of vehicles
and if the garage can accommodate most vehicles.
Kjesbo — Worried about sludge and maintenance of the automated
garage. Asked how long it could take to fix an issue with the garage.
Hopkins —Appreciated the changes and the plans are getting better.
Kurz — Believed the building is more appealing today than at the last
meeting. Kurz would like to see more in terms of the automated parking
video and how it would work in Vail's environment. Additionally, how the
winter climate will impact the garage with slug and build up. He stated
there are 69 spaces for Lift House and others state this is not correct.
He would like to see the parking issue agreed to by all parties.
Braun — Stated he and the applicant will return with more information
on the parking system. Braun stated he wants to focus on Launch's
property today, not Bob's project.
Kjesbo — Stated if the applicant meets the parking requirement, the
PEC should not have to review private agreements.
Staff requests all four items be tabled to July 9 meeting.
Rollie Kjesbo moved to table to July 9, 2018. Brian Stockmar seconded the
motion and it passed (6-0).

SUMMARY
The applicant, Diamondrock Vail Owner LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group., requests the review of a Major Exterior Alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7H-7,
Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the conversion of two
(2) back of house offices to two (2) Accommodation Units, located at 715 West
Lionshead Circle/West Day Subdivision (Vail Marriott Mountain Resort). The Community
Development Department is recommending approval, with conditions, of the Major
Exterior Alteration application with the findings as listed in Section VIII of this
memorandum. For reference, the attachments include a Vicinity Map (Attachment A),
Applicant Narrative (Attachment B), and Floor Plans (Attachment C).
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
Diamondrock Vail Owner LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group., requests the
review of a Major Exterior Alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7H-7, Exterior Alterations
or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the conversion of two (2) back of house
offices to two (2) Accommodation Units, located at 715 West Lionshead Circle/West
Day Subdivision (Vail Marriott Mountain Resort).
III. BACKGROUND
The Marriott site was annexed into the Town of Vail in August of 1969. According to
Eagle County records, the existing building was originally constructed in 1983. The
property was originally zoned Commercial Core 2 District and was rezoned to
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District in 1999.
The west wing of the hotel suffered a fire in November 2000 that effectively
destroyed the upper floors of the hotel. The conference center below and most of the
center wing were largely unaffected. The owner at the time, Host Marriott, gutted the
entire west wing and rebuilt it with new guest room layouts but stayed largely within
the previous bulk and mass of the building, as was defined by the preexisting steel
structure. Reconstruction was completed in 2002.
Various modifications have been made to the structure since the reconstruction. Most
recently, a Major Exterior Alteration was approved in 2014, allowing for an increase
of accommodation units to 324. However, this project was never constructed and the
approval has since expired.

ARTICLE H — Lionshead Mixed Use 1 (LMU-1) District
12-7H-1: PURPOSE.-
The
URPOSE:
The Lionshead mixed use 1 district is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple -
family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, timeshares, lodge dwelling units,
restaurants, offices, skier services, and commercial establishments in a clustered,
unified development. Lionshead mixed use 1 district, in accordance with the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and
other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain
the desirable qualities of the zone district by establishing appropriate site development
standards. This zone district is meant to encourage and provide incentives for
redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to
redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically vibrant
lodging, housing, and commercial core area. The incentives in this zone district include
increases in allowable gross residential floor area, building height, and density over the
previously established zoning in the Lionshead redevelopment master plan study area.
The primary goal of the incentives is to create economic conditions favorable to
inducing private redevelopment consistent with the Lionshead redevelopment master
plan. Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance public off site
improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. With any
development/redevelopment proposal taking advantage of the incentives created
herein, the following amenities will be evaluated: streetscape improvements,
pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway
improvements, and similar improvements. (Ord. 29(2005) § 24: Ord. 3(1999) § 1)

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA -MAJOR EXTERIOR ALTERATION
Section 12-7H-8, Compliance Burden, Vail Town Code, outlines the review criteria
for major exterior alteration applications proposed within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1
(LMU-1) zone district. According to Section 12-7H-8, Vail Town Code, a major
exterior alteration shall be reviewed for compliance with the following criteria:
1. That the proposed major exterior alteration is in compliance with the
purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district;
Staff Response:
The purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone District are stated in Section
12-7H-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code. As stated, the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone
District is intended to provide sites within the area of Lionshead for a mixture of
multiple -family dwellings, hotels, fractional fee clubs, restaurants, skier services
and commercial/retail establishments. The development standards prescribed
for the district were established to provide incentives for development in
accordance with the goals and objectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan.
The applicant is proposing the conversion of two (2) group sales offices to two (2)
accommodation units. The accommodation use is included in the stated purpose
of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District. Therefore, Staff finds that the major
exterior alteration application complies with not only the intent of the zone district,
but also the development standards of the district.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
2. That the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan;
Staff Response:
Chapter 2: Introduction
Section 2.3 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan outlines the six policy
objectives of the plan. Staff believes the following objectives are the most
germane to this application.
1) Renewal and Redevelopment
Lionshead can and should be renewed and redeveloped to become a
warmer, more vibrant environment for guests and residents. Lionshead
needs an appealing and coherent identity, a sense of place, a personality,
a purpose, and an improved aesthetic character.
3) Stronger Economic Base Through Increased Live Beds
In order to enhance the vitality and viability of Vail, renewal and
redevelopment in Lionshead must promote improved occupancy rates and
the creation of additional bed base ("live beds" or "warm beds') through
new lodging products.
Staff believes the proposed major exterior alteration conforms to these policy
objectives. The proposed increase in accommodation units assists in the
enhancement and maintenance of Vail's vitality and viability. Objective #3 is
achieved through improved occupancy rates and the addition of two (2) units to
the bed base.
Chapter 4: Master Plan Recommendations
Chapter 4 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan provides specific
recommendations related to physical and visual connections, public
transportation, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, housing, public art and live
beds. Staff has included for discussion only those recommendations that are
relevant to the proposed expansion and remodel.
Section 4.8 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan addresses parking.
As noted earlier in the report, the three parcels that make up the West Day
Subdivision are considered one development site for the purposes of zoning. The
spreadsheet of approved development allocations places the existing Marriott
parking requirement at 268 spaces. This amount includes a 10% parking credit of
a multi -use parking facility. According to the information provided by the
applicant, the Marriott currently has 297 parking spaces under their control
including 237 deeded spaces under the Ritz-Carlton Development and 60 spaces
under the east wing of the Marriott. The 297 spaces adequately meet both the
existing and proposed parking demand.
Section 4.9 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan addresses housing.
The applicant is proposing to mitigate the housing needs created by the new
addition through a fee in lieu payment. The housing requirement generated by
the proposal is:
Net New Accommodation Unit I Limited Service Lodge Unit Proposed
2 units x 0.6 employees I unit x 20% mitigation rate = .24 new employees
to be housed
Employee Housing Fee in Lieu of $177,733.00 per employee (2017 number*)
$42,655.92
*The actual fee in lieu will be determined at the time of building permit review and
is subject to change.
Section 4.13 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Plan addresses the need for the
maintenance, preservation and enhancement of the live bed base. The live bed
base is critical to the success of Lionshead and special emphasis has been
placed on the importance of increasing the number of live beds as the area
undergoes redevelopment. The project proposes to add two (2) additional
accommodation units to the live bed base. Staff believes the project meets the
recommendations related to live beds. It should be noted that applications for
new development or redevelopment which maintain, preserve, and enhance the
live bed base in Lionshead have a significantly greater chance of approval in the
development review process than those which do not.
Chapter 5: Detailed Plan Recommendations
Section 5.13 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan addresses specific
recommendations for the Marriott property. Many of these recommendations,
including the development of the Gore Creek Residences have been met.
Recommendation 5.13.5 discusses the need to preserve and enhance the
existing accommodation units. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the
recommendations of this section of the Master Plan.
Chapter 7: Development Standards
This major exterior alteration application conforms to the development standards
of both the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the Lionshead Mixed
Use 1 District with the no exceptions.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
3. That the proposal does not otherwise have a significant negative effect on
the character of the neighborhood; and,
Staff Response:
Staff has reviewed the proposal in an attempt to identify any significant negative
impacts that may be created on the character of the neighborhood as a result of
the construction of the project. The proposal conforms to the development
standards of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District and is not anticipated to have a
negative effect on the character of the neighborhood.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
4. That the proposal substantially complies with other applicable elements of
the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Response:
Staff has reviewed the Vail Comprehensive Plan to determine which elements of
the Plan apply to the review of this proposal. Upon review of the Plan, Staff has
determined that the following elements of the Plan apply:
Transportation Master Plan (adopted 1993)
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (adopted 1998)
The project is subject to the recently adopted Transportation Impact Fee
Net New Accommodation Unit / Limited Service Lodge Unit Proposed
2 units x $5,066.00 / unit = $10,132.00
Existing Office (714 sq. ft.) x $5.27 per sq. ft. _ $3,762.78
Transportation Impact Fee, Net New Fee = $6,369.22
*The actual fee in lieu will be determined at the time of building permit review and
is subject to change.
Staff also believes this proposal complies with the applicable elements of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (refer to criteria #2 above).
In summary, Staff believes that the applicant has presented evidence that the
proposed major exterior alteration is in compliance with the purposes of the
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District, that the proposal is consistent with applicable
elements of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, that the proposal does
not otherwise have a significant negative effect on the character of the
neighborhood, and that the proposal substantially complies with other applicable
elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.

Application for a Major Exterior Alteration in the Lions head Mixed

Accommodation Units
Submitted: May 29, 2018
Vu I ;kd
Mauriello Planning Group
1. Introduction
The Vail Marriott Mountain Resort, located at 715 W. Lionshead Circle, is requesting a Major
Exterior Alteration to allow for the conversion of an area of existing group sales office to two
new accommodation units for a total of 320
accommodation units on the property.
Though there are no exterior modifications
with the request, the Vail Town Code requires
a Major Exterior Alteration application for
the addition of accommodation units.
Accommodation units are a permitted use on
the second floor and the proposed
accommodation units are located on the
second floor of the building.
The Vail Town Code defines a Major Exterior
Alteration as follows:
12-7H-7 B. Major Exterior Alteration:
The construction of a new building or
the alteration of an existing building
which ad d sadditional dwelling units,
accommodation units fractional fee
club units, timeshare units, any
project which adds more than one
thousand (1,000) square feet of
commercial floor area or common
space, or any project which has
substantial off site impacts (as
determined by the administrator)
shall be reviewed by the planning
and environmental commission as a
major exterior alteration in
accordance with this chapter and
section 12-3-6 of this title.
South elevation of the Vail Marriott. Location of the
space to be converted to two accommodation units.
The following floor plans show the existing office space configuration and how the space will be
converted to two accommodation units:
The proposed addition of two hotel rooms will increase lodging revenues to the owner and generate
additional tax revenues to the Town with little overall negative impact to the community. Parking for the
additional hotel rooms can easily be accommodated given the surplus parking available to the Marriott
and employee housing impacts are being appropriately mitigated through the fee -in -lieu program.

2. Background
The Marriott site was annexed into the Town of Vail in August of 1969. According to Eagle
County records, the existing building was originally constructed in 1983. The property was
originally zoned Commercial Core 2 District and was rezoned to Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District
in 1999.
The west wing of the hotel suffered a fire in November 2000 that effectively destroyed the
upper floors of the hotel. The conference center below and most of the center wing were
largely unaffected. The owner at the time, Host Marriott, gutted the entire west wing and
rebuilt it with new guest room layouts but stayed largely within the previous bulk and mass of
the building, as was defined by the preexisting steel structure. Reconstruction was completed in
2002.
Various modifications have been made to the structure since the reconstruction. Most recently,
a Major Exterior Alteration was approved in 2014, allowing for an increase of accommodation
units to 324. However, this project was never constructed and the approval has since expired.
The Marriott currently has 318 accommodation units, 35 dwelling units, along with existing
retail, restaurant, spa, and conference facilities. It currently has 297 parking spaces available to
serve its uses. It is the largest hotel in Vail, with Hotel Talisa being the second largest with 285
accommodation units.
The property is unique in that it
spans 2 lots in different subdivisions.
The western lot is Lot 1 of the West
Day Lot Subdivision. The
development potential of this
subdivision is split among the
Marriott property, Ritz property and
the Gore Creek Place property. In
addition, there is shared parking
amongst these 3 properties. The
eastern lot is the Mark Lodge
property which is not part of the
West Day Lot Subdivision. In 2006, in Parcel Map showing the West Day Lot Subdivision. For zoning
conjunction with the West Day Lot purposes, the West Day Lot Subdivision is treated as one
Subdivision, the parties and the Town development site. However, a portion of the Marriott is
agreed to the "West Day Lot/ located outside the subdivision.
Marriott Hotel/Gore Creek Place
Approved Development Plan/Development Allocations. This document outlines the
development standards and requirements, along with future development potential, for each of
the properties. The Marriott property, including Lot 1 and the Mark Lodge property are being
treated as one "site" as it always has been in the past.

There is some discrepancy in the number of existing accommodation units located within the
Marriott. With the project in 2014, the supporting information indicates there were 315
existing accommodation units (they were proposing an increase to 324). However, there are
currently 318 accommodation units, according to the management of the hotel. The 4 room
discrepancy is likely due to the use of 4 rooms for group hospitality that were not included in
the 2014 count of hotel rooms. These units have now been accounted forwith this application.

5. Criteria for Review
The Lionshead Mixed Use -1 Zone District does not supply crite riaforreview for a Major Exterior
Alteration. However, it does provide fora "compliance burden."
12-711-11-8: COMPLIANCE BURDEN:
It shall be the burden of the applicant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence
before the planning and environmental commission and the d esignreview board that the
proposed exterior alteration or new development is in compliance with the purposes of
the Lionshead mixed use 1 district, that the proposal is consistent with applicable
elements of the Lionshead redevelopment master plan and that the proposal does not
otherwise have a significant negative effect on the character of the neighborhood, and
that the proposal substantially complies with other applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan.
A. Purpose of the LMU-1 Zone District
0urAnalysis:
The Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district was created in 1999, as the implementation
phase of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The zone district rezoned all
Lionshead properties from Commercial Core 2 to LMU-1. It intended to create
incentives for properties to redevelop. The purpose of the LMU-1 zone district is as
follows:
The Lionshead mixed use 1 district is intended to provide sitesfor a mixture of multiple -
family dwellings, lod ges, hotels, fractional f ee clubs, timeshares, lod ge dwelling units,
restaurants, offices, skier services, and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified
development. Lionshead mixed use 1 district, in accordance with the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and
other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses and to
maintain the desirable qualities of the zone district by establishing appropriate site
development standards. This zone district is meant to encourage and provide incentives
for redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to
redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically vibrant
lodging, housing, and commercial core area. The incentives in this zone district include
increases in allowable gross residential floor area, building height, and density over the
previously established zoning in the Lionshead redevelopment master plan study area.
The primary goal of the incentives is to create economic conditions favorable to inducing
private redevelopment consistent with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance public off site improvements
adjacent to redevelopment projects. With any development/redevelopment proposal
taking advantage of the incentives created herein, the following amenities will be
evaluated: streetscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza
redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar improvements.
Vail Marriott Mountain Resort
May 2018 9
As indicated in this purpose statement, the intent of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone
district is to provide sites for a mix of multiple -family dwellings, lodges, hotels, etc. It
was specifically designed to provide incentives for redevelopment, with an overriding
goal to create vibrant lodging. As a result, accommodation units are encouraged as they
do not count towards the density limitation. The addition of the 2 new accommodation
units complies with the intent of the zone district and complies with the development
standards of the district.
B. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Compliance
0urAnalysis:
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted by the Town of Vail on
December 15, 1998. It is a guide for property owners proposing to undertake
development or redevelopment of their properties and the municipal officials
responsible for planning public improvements. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master
Plan (LRMP) sets out recommendations for the entire Lionshead area, provides detailed
plan recommendations for specific areas, and outlines site design and architectural
design guidelines, and then provides specific development standards that are
implemented through the Lionshead Mixed Use -1 zone district.
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted a few years before the fire at
the Marriott. As a result, many of the site specific recommendations for the Marriott
were implemented with the rebuilding of the property, along with the subsequent
development of the Ritz and Gore Creek Place properties.
Below is the language from the LRMP that is applicable to the Marriott and this
application specifically:
Section 2.3 Policy Objectives provides the six policy objectives of the Lionshead
RedevelopmentMaster Plan. Policy 2.3.3 specifically outlines the goal of increasing the
number of "live beds" in Lionshead:
2.3.3 Stronger Economic Base Through Increased Live Beds
In order to enhance the vitality and viability of Vail, renewal and redevelopment
in Lionshead must promote improved occupancy rates and the creation of
additional bed base ('live beds" or "warm beds") through new lodging products.
Live beds and warm beds are best described as residential or lodging rooms or
units that are designed for occupancy by visitors, guests, individuals, or families
on a short term rental basis. In order to improve occupancy rates and create
additional bed base in Lionshead, applications for new development and
redevelopment projects which include a residential component shall provide live
beds in the form of accommodation units, fractional fee club units, lodge
dwelling units, timeshare units, attached accommodation units (i.e, lock -off
units), or dwelling units which are included in a voluntary rental management
Vail Marriott Mountain Resort
May 2018 10
program and available for short term rental. Further, it is the expressed goal of
this Plan that in addition to creating additional bed base through new lodging
products, there shall be no net loss of existing live beds within the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan study area.
3.11 Economic Conditions
The third Lionshead policy objective adopted by the Vail Town Council states a
desire for a "stronger economic base through increased live beds." This policy
objective recognizes that a large percentage of the Town of Vail's operating
budget comes from sales tax revenue. Tax revenue is derived from retail and
commercial sales and, in a resort environment, the primary source of retail
revenue is the destination visitor.
4.13 Live Beds
The maintenance, preservation, and enhancement of the live bed base are
critical to the future success of Lionshead and as such, special emphasis should
be placed on increasing the number of live beds in Lionshead as the area
undergoes redevelopment. The Lionshead area currently contains a large
percentage of the Town's overall lodging bed base. The bed base in Lionshead's
consists of a variety of residential and lodging products including hotels,
condominiums, timeshares and hybrids of all three. The vast majority of live
beds in Lionshead are not accommodation units in hotels, but instead, in
dwelling units in residential condominiums such as the Vail 21, Treetops, Antlers
Lodge, Lion Square Lodge, Lifthouse Lodge, Landmark Tower and Townhomes,
Lionshead Arcade, and Montaneros, all of which have some form of rental/
property management program that encourages short term rental of dwelling
units when the owners are not in residence. It has been the experience in
Lionshead that condominium projects which include a voluntary rental
management program have occupancy rates which exceed the occupancy rate
of hotel products, and therefore tend to provide more live beds and produce
more lodging tax revenues to the Town. Applications for new development or
redevelopment which maintain, preserve, and enhance the live bed base in
Lionshead have a significantly greater chance of approval in the development
review process than those which do not.
5.13 The Marriott
With approximately 320 rooms, the Marriott is the largest supply of hot beds in
Lionshead. The single largest structure in Lionshead, it is also very visible,
especially from the west. It is consequently a high priority renovation project,
and all reasonable measures should be taken by the Town of Vail to encourage
and facilitate its enhancement.
As indicated in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, one of the overridinggoals
is to provide additional live beds at every opportunity. In this case, no exterior
modifications are necessary, no hotel amenities are lost, and adequate parking exists to

serve the units. Asa result, the addition of two accommodation units complies with the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
Character of the Neighborhood
Our Analysis:
This neighborhood of
Lionshead has undergone
vast and exciting changes
over the past few years. Both
the Antlers and the Vail
Marriott were early
redevelopment projects
spurred on by the adoption
of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan.
Other projects followed,
including the development of
the Lion, the Ritz and Gore
Creek Place. Vail Spa recently
completed extensive exterior
improvements, and the
Enzian is currently renovating
the exterior. This
neighborhood accounts for a
vast number of live beds for
the Town of Vail. The
addition of two new
accommodation units will
have a positive effect on the
character of the
neighborhood.
Map of the area. Almost all properties in the neighborhood have
undergone redevelopment and/or renovations.
Other Applicable Elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan
OurAnalysis:
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan has been covered in depth in previous sections of
this submittal and is incorporated here by reference. The Vail Land Use Plan, which was
originally adopted in 1986, also includes goals that are applicable to this project.
1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded
whenever possible.
Vail Marriott Mountain Resort
May 2018 12
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
3.1 The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently.
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing
character of each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban
Design Guid ePlan and the Vail Village Master Plan.
Now over 30 years old, the Town of Vail Land Use Plan is outdated in general, but many of the
concepts of the plan are applicable to development today. The addition of two accommodation
units to the Marriott helps to furtherthese goals as outlined in the Vail Land Use Plan.

DATE: June 25, 2018
SUBJECT: A request for the review of an exemption plat, pursuant to Section 13-12-3, Plat
Procedure and Criteria for Review, Vail Town Code, to incorporate a portion of
Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth
Filing into the existing property located at 366 Hanson Ranch Road/Lot d, Block
2, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0025)
Applicant: VailPoint LLC, represented by Pylman & Associates, Inc.
Planner: Jonathan Spence
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, VailPoint LLC, represented by Pylman & Associates, Inc., is requesting
final review of an exemption plat application, pursuant to Title 13, Chapter 12,
Exemption Plat Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to incorporate a portion of Lot d-1,
Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing into the
existing property located at 366 Hanson Ranch Road. The Community Development
Department is recommending approval of the Exemption Plat application with the
findings as listed in Section VIII of this memorandum. For reference, the attachments
include a Vicinity Map (Attachment A), applicant's narrative (Attachment B), and a copy
of the proposed plat (Attachment C).
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a final review of an exemption plat application, pursuant to
Title 13, Chapter 12, Exemption Plat Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to
incorporate a portion of Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of Tract E,
Vail Village Fifth Filing into the existing property located at 366 Hanson Ranch Road.
The proposal will result in the creation of a plat entitled: "Exemption Plat, Lot 1, 366
Hanson Ranch Road, Town of Vail, Eagle County, State of Colorado" (Attachment C).
III. BACKGROUND
In 1963, Vail Associates conveyed the entirety of Lot d, Block 2, Vail Village First Filing
(Lot d) to Christiania -at -Vail, Inc. (VailPoint's predecessor in title). Lot d is comprised of
the present-day Christiania at Vail Lodge, the Chateau Christian Condominiums, and
the single family residence at 366 Hanson Ranch Road.
Over time and apparently prior to enactment of subdivision regulations in the Town,
Christiania- at -Vail, Inc. severed portions of Lot d. They did so by recording deeds that
described these smaller parcels by metes and bounds description. These deeds
effectively served to subdivide Lot d, although not through the process that would be
required today. The property at 366 Hanson Ranch Road is one of these severed
parcels.
The property has an existing residence that was built in the early 1960s, prior to the
incorporation of Vail as a Town in 1966. It is located between the Christiania at Vail
Lodge and Chateau Christian Condominiums to the west, and the Tivoli Lodge to the
east. The land to the south of the home and to the east of the home (between the home
and the Tivoli Lodge) is owned by Vail Resorts. The land to the east of the home is Lot
d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The lands south of the home are a part of Tract E,
Vail Village Fifth Filing.
For as long as 50 years, the existing property and the proposed properties subject to
the replatting by this application have been surrounded by a fence. For unknown
reasons, the fence was not built on the deeded property line and instead encloses a
larger area, both to the south and east. All previous owners have treated the fenced
area as an integral part of the property and have landscaped and maintained it
consistent with the remainder of the property.
In January, 2018, the Eagle County District Court entered an Order and Decree
Quieting Title (Court Order) to this area outside the deed boundary but inside the fence.
Recognizing the historic conditions, the Court Order declared VailPoint to be the fee
simple owner of all of the lands within the fence.
The intent of this application is to complete the process started by the Court Order. The
exemption plat application consolidates all properties within the fence (historical
boundary).
The total area of land within the existing fence and proposed lot is 13,242 square feet.
The original metes and bounds description of the 366 Hanson Ranch Road property
consists of 7,862 square feet. The additional area within the fence that the Court
recognized as VailPoint's property is 5,380 square feet.

Title Report
Lot 1, 366 Hanson Ranch Road Subdivision Exemption Plat
3
L Introduction
VailPoint, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("VailPoint") is requesting Town of Vail
approval for two land use actions: (1) an Exemption Plat pursuant to Title 13, Chapter 12 of the
Town of Vail Municipal Code ("Code") and (2) a Zone District Amendment pursuant to Code Title
12, Chapter 3.
The exemption plat encompasses property legally described as a Part of Lot d, Block 2, Vail Village
First Filing and also including a portion of Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of
Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The request is for a consolidation of parcels currently described by
metes and bounds into one single lot.
The zone district amendment requests rezoning of a portion of Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth
Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The lands proposed for zone district
amendment fall within the boundaries of the exemption plat.
The property address is 366 Hanson Ranch Road.
VailPoint is the legal owner of record of the lands within the boundary of the proposed exemption
plat.
The plat that accompanies this application is titled Lot], 366 Hanson Ranch Road Subdivision. Also
submitted with this application in compliance with Code Section 13-3-6.B.3.q(5) is a title
commitment prepared by Land Title Guarantee Company, noted as Order No. V500503605 with
an effective date of April 30, 2018, in satisfaction of the requirement for evidence of VailPoint's
ownership in fee simple of the landswithin the proposed subdivision.
In accordance with our pre -application conference on May 22, 2018, it is our understanding that
given the nature of this request, the Town is not requiring an environmental impact report,
engineering plans, topographical map/grading plan, landscape plan, or other materials identified in
Code Section 13-3-6.B.3.q.
II. Existing Conditions
In 1963, VailAssociates conveyed the entirety of Lot d, Block2, VailVillage First Filing ("Lot d") to
Christiania -at -Vail, Inc. (Vail Point's predecessor in title). Lot d is comprised of the present-day
Christiania at Vail Lodge, the Chateau Christian Condominiums, and the single family residence at
366 Hanson Ranch Road.
Over time—and apparently prior to enactment of subdivision regulations in the Town—Christiania-
at-Vail, Inc. severed portions of Lot d. They did so by recording deeds that described these smaller
parcels by metes and bounds description. These deeds effectively served to subdivide Lot d, although
0
not through the process that would be required today. The property at 366 Hanson Ranch Road is
one of these severed parcels.
The property has an existing residence that was built in the early 1960's, prior to the incorporation of
Vail as a Town in 1966. It is located between the Christiania at Vail Lodge and Chateau Christian
Condominiums to the west, and the Tivoli Lodge to the east. The land to the south of the home and
to the east of the home (between the home and the Tivoli Lodge) is owned by Vail Resorts. The land
to the east of the home is Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The lands south of the home are
a part of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing.
For as long as 50 years, the property within the proposed exemption plat has been surrounded by a
fence. For whatever reason, the fence was not built on the deeded property line and instead encloses
a larger area, both to the south and east. The previous owners have all treated the fenced area as an
integral part of the property and have landscaped and maintained it consistent with the remainder of
the property.
In January, 2018, the Eagle County District Court entered an Order and Decree Quieting Title
("Court Order") to this area outside the deed boundary but inside the fence. Recognizing the historic
conditions, the Court Order declared VailPoint to be the fee simple owner of all of the lands within
the fence.
The intent of this application is to complete the process started by the Court Order. The plat
application seeksexemption platapproval, consolidating the landsinsidethe fence into a singleparcel.'
Simultaneously, the re -zoning application seeks to rezone the property subject to the Court Order
from Agriculture and Open Space (A) to Public Accommodation (PA), consistent with the existing
zoning of the remainder of Lot d.
The total area of land within the existing fence and proposed lot is 13,242 square feet. The original
metes and bounds description of the 366 Hanson Ranch Roadproperty consists of 7,862 square feet.
The additional areawithin the fence that the Court recognized as VailPoint's property is 5,380 square
feet.
III. Existing and Proposed Zoning
Following the Town of Vail's incorporation in 1966, the town enacted a zoning ordinance for the first
time in 1971. The lands in this neighborhood—including the existing home at 366 Hanson Ranch
Road, the Christiania, the Tivoli and other neighborhood properties—were zoned as Public
Accommodation District ("PA"). The goal of the PA Zoning is to create an active bed base that
supports the Town's economic and land use objectives as a destination resort.
' While an exemption plat falls within the Town's subdivision regulations, the term "subdivision" is
a misnomer in this situation. Rather than divide property, this application seeks consolidation of
two existing parcels.
5
Specifically, as written in Article A, PA Zone District, Code Section 12-7A-1 Purpose of the Code,
the stated intention of the PA zone district is to "provide sites for lodges and residential
accommodations for visitors". The list of permitted uses does not include the existing use of a single
family residence. In addition, the minimum lot size allowedin the PA Zone District is 10,000square
feet. As the home was apparently constructed prior to incorporation of the town and the establishment
of the zoning, the existing use is classified as a legal non -conforming use and the lot has been considered
a legal non -conforming parcel.
Although the Town's zone boundaries are not drawn at a scale sufficient to understand where exactly
the boundary between districts actually lies, since zone district boundaries typically follow platted
property lines, the property that is the subject of the Court Order—that is, the portion of Lot d-1,
Block 2 Vail Village Fifth Filing and the portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing that are within
the fenced area are presumably zoned Agricultural and Open Space ("A'). Consistent with Code
Section 12-5-5's guidance that zone boundaries follow lot lines, a companion re -zoning application
requests that the landssubject to the Court Order be zoned to match the existing PA Zone District of
the remainder of the proposed lot. This will bring the lot into conformance with the 10,000square
foot minimum size requirement for the PA zone district and rectify the non -conforming lot status.
The existing fence will become both the lot line and the zone district boundary.
See Figure 1, Existing Conditions.

IV. Exemption Plat Review Criteria
Code Section 13-2-2 defines Exemption Plat as "The platting of a portion of land or property that
does not fall within the definition of a "subdivision" as contained in this section. A "Subdivision"
means a tract that is divided into two or more lots. Therefore, the Exemption Plat process is
appropriate because this platting consolidates, rather than divides, tracts.
Code Title 13, Chapter 12 establishes the Exemption Plat review procedures and references the
standard Town of Vail criteria for review of a Final Plat as the criteria for review of an Exemption Plat.
These criteria are set forth in Code Section 13-3-4.
Final Plat Review Criteria:
The extent to whichthe proposed subdivision is consistent withall 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.
Applicant response:
Typically, properties within the Town are platted; this property is perhaps a rare exception. Defining
property boundaries by subdivision—rather than by metes and bounds description—provides
simplicity and certainty for landowners and local jurisdictions alike. This Exemption Plat application
serves to memorialize the historic use of this fenced, unplatted parcel and implement the Court Order
in a manner that provides clarity for the public record. The exemption plat does not create new parcels
of land; rather. The proposed plat does not have any substantive effect on any the adopted goals,
objectives and policies of the Vail comprehensive plan. The recognition of the landswithin the fenced
area as a single parcel eliminates the non -conforming size status of the lot and therefore is compatible
with and advances the development objectives of the town.
2. The extent to which the proposed subdivision complies with all of the standards of this title,
as well as, but not limited to, title 12, "Zoning Regulations" of this code, and other pertinent
regulations that the planning and environmental commission deems applicable.
Applicant response:
The proposed exemption plat application is accompanied by a companion file that requests rezoning
of the 5,380 square feet inside the fence to the Public Accommodation ("PA") Zone District. This
action will create consistent zoning for all of the lands within the fenced area of 366 Hanson Ranch
Road and will also bring the parcel into conformance with the minimum lot size standards for the PA
Zone District.
3. The extent to which the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious, convenient, workable
relationship among land uses consistent w ithmunicipal development objectives.
Applicant response:
The proposedlot has long been used as a single, integrated parcel of unplatted property. The proposed
exemption plat, which has been preceded by the Court Order recognizing VailPoint's ownership to
the entire fenced parcel, enables the property to be platted consistent with its historic use.
Moreover, as described above, the property exists today in something of a historically non -conforming
condition, and the requested exemption plat will remedy that, consistent with modern municipal
development practices and objectives.
The subdivision action will have no material effect upon the land uses outside of the fence.
4. The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area.
Applicant response:
Because the proposed subdivision consolidates two legal parcels, it should have no effect upon future
development of the surrounding area.
The extent to whichthe proposed subdivision is located and designed to avoid creating spatial
patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, or require duplication or
premature extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development.
Applicant response:
This proposed plat consolidates 5,380 square feet of land into the primary, presently unplatted parcel
of 7,862 square feet, all located within the historical fenced area of 366 Hanson Ranch Road. This
action will have no adverse effect upon delivery of public services or require any duplication of public
facilities. The action does not result in any "leapfrog" pattern of development.
6. The extent tow hich the utility lines are sized to serve the planned ultimate population of the
service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade undersized lines.
Applicant response:
The proposed plat will not create any demand upon utility service capacities in the service area.
7. The extent to whichthe proposed subdivision provides for the grow thof an orderly viable
community and serves the best interest of the community as a whole.
9
Applicant response:
The proposedplat proposesno change that would have any effect on the overall orderly viable growth
of the community. The consolidation of the parcels within the fence and the companion rezoning
application will create a parcel that meets the minimum lot size of the long term PA zoning,
eliminating the existing legal non -conforming status of the parcel. Additionally, the proposed plat
will formally plat a presently unplatted parcel.
8. The extent to which the proposed subdivision results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the
natural environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation,
riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features.
Applicant response:
The proposed plat seeks to plat, for the first time, adjacent lands that have historically been integrated.
The subdivision action alone will not result in any change to those lands and therefore will have no
effect upon any of the above natural features.
9. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the
proposed subdivision.
Applicant response:
No applicant response necessary.
V. Zone District Amendment Review Criteria
The petition for zone district boundary amendment requests rezoning of the 5,380 square feet of
property thatis the subject of the Court Order; thatis, the property thatis insidethe fence, but outside
the historic metes and bounds legal description of the parcel commonly knownas 366 Hanson Ranch
Road. The goal of the rezoning application is to align the zoning and plat boundaries.
Code Section 12-3-7 sets forth the criteria for the review of amendments to zone district boundaries.
Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the planning and
environmental commission and town council shall consider the following factors with respect to the
requested zone district boundary amendment:
(1) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all the applicable
elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive
plan and is compatible w ith the development objectives of the tow n
10
Applicant response:
The Vail Land Use Plan designates this area of the community as Vail Village Master Plan and utilizes
the Vail Village Master Plan as the detailed land use plan. The Public Accommodation Zone district
designation for this property is consistent with the adjacent parcels and is consistent with the goals,
objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan.
The landswithin the fence have long been perceived and used as an integral part of the existing home.
The amendment of the zone district boundaries to conform to the fenced area will have little or no
overall effect upon the larger goals of the community. The amendment will bring the existing lot into
size conformance with the minimum lot size of the existing Public Accommodation Zone District.
There are six primary goals of the Vail Village Master Plan. Goals #I and 2 relate to re -development
and upgrading of private buildings. Goal #1 does support the high quality upgrading of residential
and commercial buildings. This petition is one step in the process of ultimately redeveloping and
upgrading the present, obsolete residence. Goal #2 does support the Public Accommodation Zone
District designation as an important economic goal of the community.
This petition has no relation or bearing on Goals #3, #5 or #6.
Goal #4 is relative to open space and is relevant to the zone district boundary amendment request.
Because it was within the fence, the 5,380 square feet of area proposed for zone change has likely not
ever been apart of the perceived open space corridor behind or adjacent to the home. The Vail Village
Master Plan was originally adopted in 1990. The area proposed for re -zoning has been enclosed by a
fence, landscaped as part of the yard and used exclusively and privately by the owners of the home
since well prior to, and since, 1990. The re -zoning of this land will not impact the historic area of
perceived open space that exists in this area. The lands outside of the fence will remain zoned as open
space.
The Vail Village Master Plan Goals# 1, #2 and#4 and the relevant objectives and policies are indicated
below.
GOAL #1 ENCOURAGE HIGH QUALITY, REDEVELOPMENT WHILE PRESERVING UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL
SCALEOF THE VILLAGE IN ORDER TOSUSTAIN ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITYAND IDENTITY.
Objective 1.2: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities.
GOAL #2 TO FOSTER A STRONG TOURIST INDUSTRY AND PROMOTE YEAR -AROUND ECONOMIC HEALTH
AND VIABILITY FOR THE VILLAGE AND FOR THE COMMUNITYAS A WHOLE.
Objective 2.1: Recognize the variety of land uses found in the 11 sub -areas throughout the Village and
allow for development that is compatible wi ththese established land use patterns.
Policy 2.1 The zoning code and development review criteria shall be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Vail Village MasterPlan.
11
Objective 2.3: Increase the number of residential uni tsavailable for short term overnight accommodate ons.
Policy 2.3.1: The development of short term accommodation uni tsisstrongly encouraged. Residential units
that are developed above existing density levels are requi redto be designed or managed in a manner that
makes them available for short term overnight rental.
GOAL #4 TO PRESERVE EXISTING OPENSPACEAREAS AND EXPAND GREENSPACE OPPORTUNITIES.
Objective 4.1: Improveexisting open space areas and create new plazas wi thgreenspaceand pocket parks.
Recogni zethe different roles of each type of open space informing the overall fabric of the Village.
Policy 4.1.3: With the exception of ski base -related facilities, existing natural open space areas at the base
of Vaf Wountai nand throughout Vail Village and existing greenspaces shall be preserved as open space.
(2) The extent tow hichthe zone district amendment is suitable w iththe existing and potential
land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the
tow n's adopted planning documents.
Applicant response:
The existing land use of the property is as a yard and landscaping for the adjacent non -conforming
single family home. The proposed re -zoning will not, alone, change the existing use of the land that
is subject to the rezoning. The Town's GRFA and other development restrictions make it improbable
that the use of the vast majority of the area subject to rezoning will materially change, even when the
property is re -developed. A potential, conforming future use of the entire parcel under the Public
Accommodation zone district would be compatible with the town's adopted planning documents.
The proposed zone district boundary amendment and the companion exemption plat action will
resolve a long-term fence boundary issue. The parcel size will now conform to the minimum lot size
requirement of the PA zone district.
The existing home has been suitable with the surrounding land use and a future, conforming use under
the Public Accommodation Zone District would likewise be consistent with adjacent properties.
(3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land uses consistent withmunicipal development objective.
Applicant response:
The proposed amendment adjusts the existing zone district boundaries to apply consistent zoning to
all of the fenced area of 366 Hanson Ranch Road. This amendment does not effect to any material
extent the harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses.
(4) The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growthof an orderly
viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best
interests of the community as a whole
12
Applicant response:
The zone district boundary amendment proposes to recognize the lot boundary correction and
maintains the Public Accommodation zoning of the 366 Hanson Ranch Road property. This zone
district designation is consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan and does not constitute spot zoning.
The application fosters order in the sense that it aligns zone district and subdivision boundaries.
(5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts
on the natural environment, including,but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise,
vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features.
Applicant response:
The proposed amendment has no adverse impact upon the natural environment. The 5,380 square
feet that are the subject of this application are currently landscaped as a part of a residential yard and
are enclosed by a fence.
(6) The extent to whichthe zone district amendment is consistent w iththe purpose statement
of the proposed zone district.
Applicant response:
The historic parcel boundary is zoned Public Accommodation but is legally non -conforming due to
its size and present use. The minimum lot size for the PA Zone district is 10,000square feet, the
existing home sits on a 7,862 square foot parcel. The addition of the 5,380 square feet will bring the
lot into conformance with the minimum size standard. This proposed amendment is completely
consistent with the purpose statement of the Public Accommodation Zone District, in fact correcting
existing inconsistencies.
(7) The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have
changed since the zoning designation of the subject property w as adopted and is no longer
appropriate.
Applicant response:
The property proposed to be re -zoned has been an integral part of the primary home parcel for perhaps
as long as zoning has been enacted in the Town of Vail The lands within the fence are not integrated
into the adjacent Agricultural and Open Space lands outside of the fence. The property within the
fence falls under the same condition as the primary home parcel.
The need for the zone district boundary amendment arises from the inconsistency between the historic
deeded property boundary and the location of the fence. Now that the fence line has been determined
to be the property boundary, it is appropriate to rezone so that the entire property is subject to only
one zoning designation.
13
(8) Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the
proposed rezoning.
Applicant response:
No applicant response is necessary.
VI. Summary
The proposed exemption plat and zone district amendment applications are intended to consolidate
the previously unplatted parcels thathavehad an integrated use for as long as 50 years into one single,
platted lot with a consistent zoning. The applications are necessitated by historic errors in boundary
descriptions or fence construction, and are the final stage of implementing the "cleanup" reflected by
the Court Order. This action is in conformance with theTown'sgoalsas articulated in the VailVillage
Master Plan and is in conformance with the Town of Vail's regulations.

I. SUMMARY
The applicant, VailPoint LLC, represented by Pylman & Associates, Inc., is requesting a
recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a zone district boundary amendment,
pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for the rezoning of
two parcels of land located in the vicinity of 366 Hanson Ranch Road; A portion of Lot d-
1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The
rezoning will change the Zone District from Agriculture and Open Space (A) District to
the Public Accommodation (PA) District.
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 the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a
recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council of this application, subject to
the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum. A vicinity map (Attachment A)
and the applicants' narratives (Attachment B) are attached for review.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, VailPoint LLC, represented by Pylman & Associates, Inc., is requesting a
recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a zone district boundary amendment,
pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for the rezoning of
two parcels of land located in the vicinity of 366 Hanson Ranch Road-, A portion of Lot d-
1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The
rezoning will change the Zone District from Agriculture and Open Space (A) District to
the Public Accommodation (PA) District.
The two portions of parcels are located within the historic fence boundary of the
property, as shown on the exhibit below.
A�
The proposed rezoning, to be approved via ordinance with the Vail Town Council, will
not take effect until the recordation of the final plat to incorporate a portion of Lot d-1,
Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing into the
existing property located at 366 Hanson Ranch Road/Lot d, Block 2, Vail Village Filing
1, has occurred with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder.
III. BACKGROUND
In 1963, Vail Associates conveyed the entirety of Lot d, Block 2, Vail Village First Filing
(Lot d) to Christiania -at -Vail, Inc. (VailPoint's predecessor in title). Lot d is comprised of
the present-day Christiania at Vail Lodge, the Chateau Christian Condominiums, and
the single family residence at 366 Hanson Ranch Road.
Over time and apparently prior to enactment of subdivision regulations in the Town
Christiania- at -Vail, Inc. severed portions of Lot d. They did so by recording deeds that
Town of Vail Page 2
described these smaller parcels by metes and bounds description. These deeds
effectively served to subdivide Lot d, although not through the process that would be
required today. The property at 366 Hanson Ranch Road is one of these severed
parcels.
The property has an existing residence that was built in the early 1960s, prior to the
incorporation of Vail as a Town in 1966. It is located between the Christiania at Vail
Lodge and Chateau Christian Condominiums to the west, and the Tivoli Lodge to the
east. The land to the south of the home and to the east of the home (between the home
and the Tivoli Lodge) is owned by Vail Resorts. The land to the east of the home is Lot
d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The lands south of the home are a part of Tract E,
Vail Village Fifth Filing.
For as long as 50 years, the existing property and the proposed properties subject to
the rezoning have been surrounded by a fence. For unknown reasons, the fence was
not built on the deeded property line and instead encloses a larger area, both to the
south and east. All previous owners have treated the fenced area as an integral part of
the property and have landscaped and maintained it consistent with the remainder of
the property.
In January, 2018, the Eagle County District Court entered an Order and Decree
Quieting Title (Court Order) to this area outside the deed boundary but inside the fence.
Recognizing the historic conditions, the Court Order declared VailPoint to be the fee
simple owner of all of the lands within the fence.
The intent of this application is to complete the process started by the Court Order. The
re -zoning application seeks to rezone the property subject to the Court Order from
Agriculture and Open Space (A) to Public Accommodation (PA), consistent with the
existing zoning of the remainder of Lot d. This action will also ensure that all lands
within the subject property have the same zoning designation.
The total area of land within the existing fence and proposed lot is 13,242 square feet.
The original metes and bounds description of the 366 Hanson Ranch Road property
consists of 7,862 square feet. The additional area within the fence that the Court
recognized as VailPoint's property is 5,380 square feet.
IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the planning
and environmental commission and town council shall consider the following factors
with respect to the requested zone district boundary amendment. -
1 .
mendment:
1. The extent to which the zone district amendments are consistent with all
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 Vail Land Use Plan designation and applicable planning document for the subject
property is the Vail Village Master Plan. The Public Accommodation Zone district
designation for this property is consistent with the adjacent parcels and is consistent
with the goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan.
The lands within the fence have long been perceived and used as an integral part of the
existing home. The amendment of the zone district boundaries to conform to the fenced
area will have little or no overall effect upon the larger goals of the community. The
amendment, in concert with the exemption plat, will bring the property into greater
conformance with the development standards of the Public Accommodation Zone
District including minimum lot size, setbacks, site coverage and landscaping.
The proposed rezoning is supported by the Goals #1 and #2 of Vail Village Master Plan
that speak to encouraging high quality redevelopment and the importance of the tourist
industry to the health and vitality of the community.
Goal #4 is relative to open space and is relevant to the zone district boundary
amendment request. Because it was within the fence, the 5,380 square feet of area
proposed for zone change has likely not ever been a part of the perceived open space
corridor behind or adjacent to the home. The Vail Village Master Plan was originally
adopted in 1990. The area proposed for re -zoning has been enclosed by a fence,
landscaped as part of the yard and used exclusively and privately by the owners of the
home since well prior to, and since, 1990. The re -zoning of this land will not impact the
historic area of perceived open space that exists in this area. The lands outside of the
fence will remain zoned as Agricultural and Open Space.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
Town of Vail Page 12
2. The extent to which the zone district amendments are suitable with the
existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential
surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning documents.
The zone district boundary amendment is both suitable and compatible with the existing
and proposed land uses on the site and the existing and potential surrounding land
uses. The rezoning and accompanying exemption plat will bring the property into
greater conformance with the development standards of the Public Accommodation
Zone District including minimum lot size, setbacks, site coverage and landscaping that
will assist in redevelopment.
As the rezoning follows the historical fence boundary, no impacts on surrounding land
uses are anticipated.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
3. The extent to which the zone district amendments present a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal
development objectives.
The proposed zone district amendments will create a cohesive land use scheme
consistent with the development objectives of the town, namely orderly development
and redevelopment under a unified zoning designation.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
4. The extent to which the zone district amendments provide for the growth of
an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the
amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole.
The zone district boundary amendment proposes to recognize the lot boundary
correction and maintains the Public Accommodation zoning of the 366 Hanson Ranch
Road property. This zone district designation is consistent with the Vail Village Master
Plan and does not constitute spot zoning. The application fosters order in the sense that
it aligns zone district and subdivision boundaries.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
5. The extent to which the zone district amendments result in adverse or
beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water
quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other
desirable natural features.
The proposed rezonings will not result in adverse impacts to the natural environment.
Future developments on the reconfigured and rezoned parcels will be required to
Town of Vail Page 13
adhere to all applicable environmental standards during development review,
construction and facility operation.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
6. The extent to which the zone district amendments are consistent with the
purpose statement of the proposed zone district.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the purpose statement of the Public
Accommodation (PA) Districts and future development on the property will also be
required to be compatible with its intent. As stated previously, the rezoning and
accompanying exemption plat bring the project into greater compliance with the
development standards of the zone district.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
7. The extent to which the zone district amendments demonstrate how
conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property
was adopted and is no longer appropriate.
The proposed zone district boundary amendment recognizes the historical boundary of
the property. With the recent court action concerning this property, maintaining the
existing zoning designation would be inappropriate.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
8. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem
applicable to the proposed rezonings.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends the Planning and
Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a
zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town
Code, to allow for the rezoning of two parcels of land located in the vicinity of 366
Hanson Ranch Road; A portion of Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion
of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The rezoning will change the Zone District from
Agriculture and Open Space (A) District to the Public Accommodation (PA) District and
setting forth details in regard thereto. Staff's recommendation is based upon the review
of the criteria described in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and
testimony presented.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a
recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the zone district boundary
amendments, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission
pass the following motion:

Title Report
Lot 1, 366 Hanson Ranch Road Subdivision Exemption Plat
3
L Introduction
VailPoint, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("VailPoint") is requesting Town of Vail
approval for two land use actions: (1) an Exemption Plat pursuant to Title 13, Chapter 12 of the
Town of Vail Municipal Code ("Code") and (2) a Zone District Amendment pursuant to Code Title
12, Chapter 3.
The exemption plat encompasses property legally described as a Part of Lot d, Block 2, Vail Village
First Filing and also including a portion of Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing and a portion of
Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The request is for a consolidation of parcels currently described by
metes and bounds into one single lot.
The zone district amendment requests rezoning of a portion of Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth
Filing and a portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The lands proposed for zone district
amendment fall within the boundaries of the exemption plat.
The property address is 366 Hanson Ranch Road.
VailPoint is the legal owner of record of the lands within the boundary of the proposed exemption
plat.
The plat that accompanies this application is titled Lot], 366 Hanson Ranch Road Subdivision. Also
submitted with this application in compliance with Code Section 13-3-6.B.3.q(5) is a title
commitment prepared by Land Title Guarantee Company, noted as Order No. V500503605 with
an effective date of April 30, 2018, in satisfaction of the requirement for evidence of VailPoint's
ownership in fee simple of the landswithin the proposed subdivision.
In accordance with our pre -application conference on May 22, 2018, it is our understanding that
given the nature of this request, the Town is not requiring an environmental impact report,
engineering plans, topographical map/grading plan, landscape plan, or other materials identified in
Code Section 13-3-6.B.3.q.
II. Existing Conditions
In 1963, VailAssociates conveyed the entirety of Lot d, Block2, VailVillage First Filing ("Lot d") to
Christiania -at -Vail, Inc. (Vail Point's predecessor in title). Lot d is comprised of the present-day
Christiania at Vail Lodge, the Chateau Christian Condominiums, and the single family residence at
366 Hanson Ranch Road.
Over time—and apparently prior to enactment of subdivision regulations in the Town—Christiania-
at-Vail, Inc. severed portions of Lot d. They did so by recording deeds that described these smaller
parcels by metes and bounds description. These deeds effectively served to subdivide Lot d, although
0
not through the process that would be required today. The property at 366 Hanson Ranch Road is
one of these severed parcels.
The property has an existing residence that was built in the early 1960's, prior to the incorporation of
Vail as a Town in 1966. It is located between the Christiania at Vail Lodge and Chateau Christian
Condominiums to the west, and the Tivoli Lodge to the east. The land to the south of the home and
to the east of the home (between the home and the Tivoli Lodge) is owned by Vail Resorts. The land
to the east of the home is Lot d-1, Block 2, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The lands south of the home are
a part of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing.
For as long as 50 years, the property within the proposed exemption plat has been surrounded by a
fence. For whatever reason, the fence was not built on the deeded property line and instead encloses
a larger area, both to the south and east. The previous owners have all treated the fenced area as an
integral part of the property and have landscaped and maintained it consistent with the remainder of
the property.
In January, 2018, the Eagle County District Court entered an Order and Decree Quieting Title
("Court Order") to this area outside the deed boundary but inside the fence. Recognizing the historic
conditions, the Court Order declared VailPoint to be the fee simple owner of all of the lands within
the fence.
The intent of this application is to complete the process started by the Court Order. The plat
application seeksexemption platapproval, consolidating the landsinsidethe fence into a singleparcel.'
Simultaneously, the re -zoning application seeks to rezone the property subject to the Court Order
from Agriculture and Open Space (A) to Public Accommodation (PA), consistent with the existing
zoning of the remainder of Lot d.
The total area of land within the existing fence and proposed lot is 13,242 square feet. The original
metes and bounds description of the 366 Hanson Ranch Road property consists of 7,862 square feet.
The additional areawithin the fence that the Court recognized as VailPoint's property is 5,380 square
feet.
III. Existing and Proposed Zoning
Following the Town of Vail's incorporation in 1966, the town enacted a zoning ordinance for the first
time in 1971. The lands in this neighborhood—including the existing home at 366 Hanson Ranch
Road, the Christiania, the Tivoli and other neighborhood properties—were zoned as Public
Accommodation District ("PA"). The goal of the PA Zoning is to create an active bed base that
supports the Town's economic and land use objectives as a destination resort.
' While an exemption plat falls within the Town's subdivision regulations, the term "subdivision" is
a misnomer in this situation. Rather than divide property, this application seeks consolidation of
two existing parcels.
5
Specifically, as written in Article A, PA Zone District, Code Section 12-7A-1 Purpose of the Code,
the stated intention of the PA zone district is to "provide sites for lodges and residential
accommodations for visitors". The list of permitted uses does not include the existing use of a single
family residence. In addition, the minimum lot size allowedin the PA Zone District is 10,000square
feet. As the home was apparently constructed prior to incorporation of the town and the establishment
of the zoning, the existing use is classified as a legal non -conforming use and the lot has been considered
a legal non -conforming parcel.
Although the Town's zone boundaries are not drawn at a scale sufficient to understand where exactly
the boundary between districts actually lies, since zone district boundaries typically follow platted
property lines, the property that is the subject of the Court Order—that is, the portion of Lot d-1,
Block 2 Vail Village Fifth Filing and the portion of Tract E, Vail Village Fifth Filing that are within
the fenced area are presumably zoned Agricultural and Open Space ("A'). Consistent with Code
Section 12-5-5's guidance that zone boundaries follow lot lines, a companion re -zoning application
requests that the landssubject to the Court Order be zoned to match the existing PA Zone District of
the remainder of the proposed lot. This will bring the lot into conformance with the 10,000square
foot minimum size requirement for the PA zone district and rectify the non -conforming lot status.
The existing fence will become both the lot line and the zone district boundary.
See Figure 1, Existing Conditions.

IV. Exemption Plat Review Criteria
Code Section 13-2-2 defines Exemption Plat as "The platting of a portion of land or property that
does not fall within the definition of a "subdivision" as contained in this section. A "Subdivision"
means a tract that is divided into two or more lots. Therefore, the Exemption Plat process is
appropriate because this platting consolidates, rather than divides, tracts.
Code Title 13, Chapter 12 establishes the Exemption Plat review procedures and references the
standard Town of Vail criteria for review of a Final Plat as the criteria for review of an Exemption Plat.
These criteria are set forth in Code Section 13-3-4.
Final Plat Review Criteria:
The extent to whichthe proposed subdivision is consistent withall 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.
Applicant response:
Typically, properties within the Town are platted; this property is perhaps a rare exception. Defining
property boundaries by subdivision—rather than by metes and bounds description—provides
simplicity and certainty for landowners and local jurisdictions alike. This Exemption Plat application
serves to memorialize the historic use of this fenced, unplatted parcel and implement the Court Order
in a manner that provides clarity for the public record. The exemption plat does not create new parcels
of land; rather. The proposed plat does not have any substantive effect on any the adopted goals,
objectives and policies of the Vail comprehensive plan. The recognition of the landswithin the fenced
area as a single parcel eliminates the non -conforming size status of the lot and therefore is compatible
with and advances the development objectives of the town.
2. The extent to which the proposed subdivision complies with all of the standards of this title,
as well as, but not limited to, title 12, "Zoning Regulations" of this code, and other pertinent
regulations that the planning and environmental commission deems applicable.
Applicant response:
The proposed exemption plat application is accompanied by a companion file that requests rezoning
of the 5,380 square feet inside the fence to the Public Accommodation ("PA") Zone District. This
action will create consistent zoning for all of the lands within the fenced area of 366 Hanson Ranch
Road and will also bring the parcel into conformance with the minimum lot size standards for the PA
Zone District.
3. The extent to which the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious, convenient, workable
relationship among land uses consistent w ithmunicipal development objectives.
Applicant response:
The proposedlot has long been used as a single, integrated parcel of unplatted property. The proposed
exemption plat, which has been preceded by the Court Order recognizing VailPoint's ownership to
the entire fenced parcel, enables the property to be platted consistent with its historic use.
Moreover, as described above, the property exists today in something of a historically non -conforming
condition, and the requested exemption plat will remedy that, consistent with modern municipal
development practices and objectives.
The subdivision action will have no material effect upon the land uses outside of the fence.
4. The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area.
Applicant response:
Because the proposed subdivision consolidates two legal parcels, it should have no effect upon future
development of the surrounding area.
The extent to whichthe proposed subdivision is located and designed to avoid creating spatial
patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, or require duplication or
premature extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development.
Applicant response:
This proposed plat consolidates 5,380 square feet of land into the primary, presently unplatted parcel
of 7,862 square feet, all located within the historical fenced area of 366 Hanson Ranch Road. This
action will have no adverse effect upon delivery of public services or require any duplication of public
facilities. The action does not result in any "leapfrog" pattern of development.
6. The extent tow hich the utility lines are sized to serve the planned ultimate population of the
service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade undersized lines.
Applicant response:
The proposed plat will not create any demand upon utility service capacities in the service area.
7. The extent to which the proposed subdivision provides for the growth of an orderly viable
community and serves the best interest of the community as a whole.
9
Applicant response:
The proposedplat proposesno change that would have any effect on the overall orderly viable growth
of the community. The consolidation of the parcels within the fence and the companion rezoning
application will create a parcel that meets the minimum lot size of the long term PA zoning,
eliminating the existing legal non -conforming status of the parcel. Additionally, the proposed plat
will formally plat a presently unplatted parcel.
8. The extent to which the proposed subdivision results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the
natural environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation,
riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features.
Applicant response:
The proposed plat seeks to plat, for the first time, adjacent lands that have historically been integrated.
The subdivision action alone will not result in any change to those lands and therefore will have no
effect upon any of the above natural features.
9. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the
proposed subdivision.
Applicant response:
No applicant response necessary.
V. Zone District Amendment Review Criteria
The petition for zone district boundary amendment requests rezoning of the 5,380 square feet of
property thatis the subject of the Court Order; thatis, the property thatis insidethe fence, but outside
the historic metes and bounds legal description of the parcel commonly knownas 366 Hanson Ranch
Road. The goal of the rezoning application is to align the zoning and plat boundaries.
Code Section 12-3-7 sets forth the criteria for the review of amendments to zone district boundaries.
Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the planning and
environmental commission and town council shall consider the following factors with respect to the
requested zone district boundary amendment:
(1) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all 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
10
Applicant response:
The Vail Land Use Plan designates this area of the community as Vail Village Master Plan and utilizes
the Vail Village Master Plan as the detailed land use plan. The Public Accommodation Zone district
designation for this property is consistent with the adjacent parcels and is consistent with the goals,
objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan.
The landswithin the fence have long been perceived and used as an integral part of the existing home.
The amendment of the zone district boundaries to conform to the fenced area will have little or no
overall effect upon the larger goals of the community. The amendment will bring the existing lot into
size conformance with the minimum lot size of the existing Public Accommodation Zone District.
There are six primary goals of the Vail Village Master Plan. Goals #I and 2 relate to re -development
and upgrading of private buildings. Goal #1 does support the high quality upgrading of residential
and commercial buildings. This petition is one step in the process of ultimately redeveloping and
upgrading the present, obsolete residence. Goal #2 does support the Public Accommodation Zone
District designation as an important economic goal of the community.
This petition has no relation or bearing on Goals #3, #5 or #6.
Goal #4 is relative to open space and is relevant to the zone district boundary amendment request.
Because it was within the fence, the 5,380 square feet of area proposed for zone change has likely not
ever been apart of the perceived open space corridor behind or adjacent to the home. The Vail Village
Master Plan was originally adopted in 1990. The area proposed for re -zoning has been enclosed by a
fence, landscaped as part of the yard and used exclusively and privately by the owners of the home
since well prior to, and since, 1990. The re -zoning of this land will not impact the historic area of
perceived open space that exists in this area. The lands outside of the fence will remain zoned as open
space.
The Vail Village Master Plan Goals# 1, #2 and#4 and the relevant objectives and policies are indicated
below.
GOAL #1 ENCOURAGE HIGH QUALITY, REDEVELOPMENT WHILE PRESERVING UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL
SCALEOF THE VILLAGE IN ORDER TOSUSTAIN ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITYAND IDENTITY.
Objective 1.2: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities.
GOAL #2 TO FOSTER A STRONG TOURIST INDUSTRY AND PROMOTE YEAR -AROUND ECONOMIC HEALTH
AND VIABILITY FOR THE VILLAGE AND FOR THE COMMUNITYAS A WHOLE.
Objective 2.1: Recognize the variety of land uses found in the 11 sub -areas throughout the Village and
allow for development that is compatible wi ththese established land use patterns.
Policy 2.1 The zoning code and development review criteria shall be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Vail Village MasterPlan.
11
Objective 2.3: Increase the number of residential uni tsavailable for short term overnight accommodate ons.
Policy 2.3.1: The development of short term accommodation uni tsisstrongly encouraged. Residential units
that are developed above existing density levels are requi redto be designed or managed in a manner that
makes them available for short term overnight rental.
GOAL #4 TO PRESERVE EXISTING OPENSPACEAREAS AND EXPAND GREENSPACE OPPORTUNITIES.
Objective 4.1: Improveexisting open space areas and create new plazas wi thgreenspaceand pocket parks.
Recogni zethe different roles of each type of open space informing the overall fabric of the Village.
Policy 4.1.3: With the exception of ski base -related facilities, existing natural open space areas at the base
of Vaf Wountai nand throughout Vail Village and existing greenspaces shall be preserved as open space.
(2) The extentto w hichthe zone district amendment is suitable w iththe existing and potential
land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the
tow n's adopted planning documents.
Applicant response:
The existing land use of the property is as a yard and landscaping for the adjacent non -conforming
single family home. The proposed re -zoning will not, alone, change the existing use of the land that
is subject to the rezoning. The Town's GRFA and other development restrictions make it improbable
that the use of the vast majority of the area subject to rezoning will materially change, even when the
property is re -developed. A potential, conforming future use of the entire parcel under the Public
Accommodation zone district would be compatible with the town's adopted planning documents.
The proposed zone district boundary amendment and the companion exemption plat action will
resolve a long-term fence boundary issue. The parcel size will now conform to the minimum lot size
requirement of the PA zone district.
The existing home has been suitable with the surrounding land use and a future, conforming use under
the Public Accommodation Zone District would likewise be consistent with adjacent properties.
(3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land uses consistent withmunicipal development objective.
Applicant response:
The proposed amendment adjusts the existing zone district boundaries to apply consistent zoning to
all of the fenced area of 366 Hanson Ranch Road. This amendment does not effect to any material
extent the harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses.
(4) The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growthof an orderly
viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best
interests of the community as a whole
12
Applicant response:
The zone district boundary amendment proposes to recognize the lot boundary correction and
maintains the Public Accommodation zoning of the 366 Hanson Ranch Road property. This zone
district designation is consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan and does not constitute spot zoning.
The application fosters order in the sense that it aligns zone district and subdivision boundaries.
(5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts
on the natural environment, including,but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise,
vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features.
Applicant response:
The proposed amendment has no adverse impact upon the natural environment. The 5,380 square
feet that are the subject of this application are currently landscaped as a part of a residential yard and
are enclosed by a fence.
(6) The extent to whichthe zone district amendment is consistent w iththe purpose statement
of the proposed zone district.
Applicant response:
The historic parcel boundary is zoned Public Accommodation but is legally non -conforming due to
its size and present use. The minimum lot size for the PA Zone district is 10,000square feet, the
existing home sits on a 7,862 square foot parcel. The addition of the 5,380 square feet will bring the
lot into conformance with the minimum size standard. This proposed amendment is completely
consistent with the purpose statement of the Public Accommodation Zone District, in fact correcting
existing inconsistencies.
(7) The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have
changed since the zoning designation of the subject property w as adopted and is no longer
appropriate.
Applicant response:
The property proposed to be re -zoned has been an integral part of the primary home parcel for perhaps
as long as zoning has been enacted in the Town of Vail The lands within the fence are not integrated
into the adjacent Agricultural and Open Space lands outside of the fence. The property within the
fence falls under the same condition as the primary home parcel.
The need for the zone district boundary amendment arises from the inconsistency between the historic
deeded property boundary and the location of the fence. Now that the fence line has been determined
to be the property boundary, it is appropriate to rezone so that the entire property is subject to only
one zoning designation.
13
(8) Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the
proposed rezoning.
Applicant response:
No applicant response is necessary.
VI. Summary
The proposed exemption plat and zone district amendment applications are intended to consolidate
the previously unplatted parcels thathavehad an integrated use for as long as 50 years into one single,
platted lot with a consistent zoning. The applications are necessitated by historic errors in boundary
descriptions or fence construction, and are the final stage of implementing the "cleanup" reflected by
the Court Order. This action is in conformance with theTown'sgoalsas articulated in the VailVillage
Master Plan and is in conformance with the Town of Vail's regulations.

the June 11, 2018 meeting.
Staff requests that this item be tabled to the July 9, 2018 meeting.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
Battle Mountain LLC, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. is proposing a six -story
multi -family residential project consisting of the following components:
• Nine (9) residential condominiums ranging in size from 2,265 square feet
to 3,810 square feet.
• Three (3) on-site Type VII-IZ Employee Housing Units totaling 2,960
square feet, an increase of 576 square feet over the requirement.
• A first floor lobby and common area including sitting areas, a fitness
center, owner's storage and a small office for building management and
short-term rental management.
• A three (3) story underground automated parking system capable of
providing 93 automobile parking spaces.
• Associated site improvements and landscaping including pedestrian
related improvements to the alley.
III. BACKGROUND
The subject property was annexed into the Town of Vail (Town) by Ordinance No. 8,
Series of 1969, which became effective on August 23, 1969. Vail/Lionshead Filing No. 1
was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail on April 27, 1970 and was
subsequently recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder on May 10, 1970. In
1973 a two-level parking structure was built on this property and also built on the
property immediately to the west to meet the parking demands of adjacent
developments including Vail 21, the Lift House and the Lions Pride building, among
others. Over the last 25 years, the property has continued to provide this parking,
however the exact arrangements in regard to leases, easements or other legal
instruments are largely unknown. The exception to this statement is Vail 21 whose
rights and obligations related to the parking structure were resolved through legal action
in 2007. The Town of Vail is not a party to any of these private agreements.
Due to structural deficiencies, the top deck of the existing parking structure will be
removed this summer with the lower level re -graded and /or maintained until
redevelopment occurs.
Section 12-10-3: Existing Facilities of the Vail Town Code requires that existing parking
facilities not be reduced in capacity to less than the number of spaces prescribed by the
Code. The project, as proposed, meets this requirement.
IV. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
This meeting before the Planning and Environmental Commission shall serve as an
opportunity to discuss elements of the project raised at the June 11, 2018 PEC meeting.
As noted previously, this project includes not only the review of the proposed structure
and related requested setback variance but also the review of a subdivision and
prescribed regulation amendment. The PEC requested the applicant return to the PEC
to discuss the following elements of the project:
• Parking, existing, interim and proposed including a discussion of the
proposed amendment to the Pay -in -lieu Parking Map and the proposed
mechanical parking system.
• Architectural treatment of the north facade.
• Roof/Wall Interface, eave line and roof material
• Mitigation of snow shed
• Sun Shade Analysis
The applicant has provided a memo discussing these items that has been included as
Attachment B. A Sun/Shade analysis has also been included as Attachment C.

The Lionshead mixed use 1 district is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple -
family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, timeshares, lodge dwelling units,
restaurants, offices, skier services, and commercial establishments in a clustered,
unified development. Lionshead mixed use 1 district, in accordance with the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and
other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain
the desirable qualities of the zone district by establishing appropriate site development
standards. This zone district is meant to encourage and provide incentives for
redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to
redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically vibrant
lodging, housing, and commercial core area. The incentives in this zone district include
increases in allowable gross residential floor area, building height, and density over the
previously established zoning in the Lionshead redevelopment master plan study area.
The primary goal of the incentives is to create economic conditions favorable to
inducing private redevelopment consistent with the Lionshead redevelopment master
plan. Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance public off site
improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. With any
development/redevelopment proposal taking advantage of the incentives created
herein, the following amenities will be evaluated: streetscape improvements,
pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway
improvements, and similar improvements. (Ord. 29(2005) § 24: Ord. 3(1999) § 1)

MEMORANDUM

From: Tom Braun
Date: June 18, 2018
CC: Bill Pierce, Kit Austin, Kurt Rhoden, Craig Laderoute, Ryan Osborne, Sean McGinley
RE: Elevation, 534 East Lionshead Circle
The purpose of this memo is to summarize refinements that have been made to proposed plans
for Elevation and additional project information that has been provided in response to the
PEC'sJune 5th meeting.
Follow-up from three discussion topics raised by staff
Roof/Wall interface
Two refinements have been made in response to staff and PEC comments to strengthening the
integration of the roof and walls:
o The shed dormer on the south side of the building has been extended to the south face
of the building. This change breaks up the eave line and serves to visually merge the
roof with walls below.
o An additional shed dormer that breaks the eave line has been added to the north side of
the building.
Refer below to Perspective 1— Roof/Walls and Perspective 2 — North Elevation.
Live Beds
Based on information provided regarding how the proposal addresses goals for "live beds" in
Lionshead, it is assumed that this topic is adequately addressed.
Rear Setback Variance
Staff and PEC seemed comfortable with the rationale for the proposed 0' setback between
Elevation and Lazier's adjoining site and how the 0' setback will facilitate a collaborative design
solution between the two projects. Concerns expressed with the 0' setback focused on the
aesthetics of the ground level west wall and the period of time the west will be in place and
visible from vehicles and pedestrians using the alley (given the unknown time frame for when
Lazier will build, at which point the west wall will no longer be visible).
The perspective provided herein depicts the wall in context with the rest of the building,
landscaping to be done as part of Elevation and parking that will occur on Lazier's site. Launch
is also proposing decorative treatment of the wall surface that will "break up" the long wall
plan and add visual interest to the wall. The approach is to depict a profile of a mountain range
on the wall. This treatment could be done in one of the following ways:
• Cut metal depicting a mountain profile applied to the concrete wall,
• Cut metal depicting a mountain profile applied to siding,
• Painted mural on the wall surface depicting a mountain profile, or
• Use of a form liner to depict to create an impression of the mountain profile within the
wall and then stain the mountain impression
Perspective 3 — West Wall depicts one concept for the mountain profile. It assumes siding on
the wall with cut metal affixed to the siding. Final decisions on the details for how the
mountain profile is implemented will be made during the DRB process. It should also be noted
that if during the construction of Elevation, it becomes clear that Lazier's project will be moving
forward, Launch would coordinate with staff to eliminate any decorative treatment of the wall.
Other Design -related Questions
Below are responses to design related questions from PEC's June 5t" meeting.
North Elevation
The north side of the building is at the required 10' setback. As per the LHMP design guidelines,
the north elevation varies with material changes and building "stepbacks", or offsets. In
deference to the neighboring building, there are no balconies and noticeably fewer windows on
the north side of the building. Refer below to Perspective 2 — North Elevation.
Roof/Snow shedding
Snow guards will be incorporated into the roof system with more detailed information provided
at DRB review.
Roof material/color
The roof material to be used on the building is identical to that used on the Town's Visitor

(PEC18-0023)
Applicant: Vail Golf Course, represented by Pierce Architects
Planner: Justin Lightfield
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Town of Vail Community Development Department
Administrator has approved an amendment to the Vail Golf Course Conditional Use Permit to allow for
construction of a new starter shack building at the Vail Golf Course, located at 1655 Sunburst Drive.
The proposed structure will replace the existing starter shack and will function as an accessory
structure to the primary use of the golf course. The proposed structure will include restrooms, a light
commercial kitchen and food service, golf ball distribution, and storage space. The Administrator's
approval includes the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall submit and obtain approval of a complete application for review by the
Design Review Board before applying for a building permit.
2. Applicant shall at all times abide by the Conditional Use Permits regulations, Title 12, Chapter
16, of the Vail Town Code.
3. Any conditional use which is discontinued for a period of two (2) years, regardless of any intent
to resume operation, shall not be resumed thereafter; any future use of the site or structures
thereon shall conform to the provisions of Title 12, Chapter 16, Vail Town Code.
The Town of Vail Administrator has determined that this amendment to the approved Vail Golf Course
Conditional Use Permit meets the review criteria prescribed by Section 12-16-10, Amendment
Procedures, Vail Town Code. This approval of a Conditional Use Permit amendment will be reported
to the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission at its Monday. June 25, 2018 public
hearing at 1:00 p.m. in the Vail Town Council Chambers, located at 75 South Frontage Road
West. The Planning and Environmental Commission reserves the right to "call up" this administrative
action for additional review at this hearing. This administrative action may also be appealed by an
adjacent property owner, any aggrieved or adversely affected person, or the Vail Town Council as
outlined in Section 12-3-3, Appeals, Vail Town Code.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 970-479-2440.

Proposal for Conditional Use Permit
1655 Sunburst Drive
Vail Golf Course Starter Shack
Parcel Number 2101-092-00-006
29 May 2018
Address to : Planning and Environmental Commission
Project Narrative: Proposed replacement and enhancement of the existing starter shack on the
Vail Golf Course.
The proposed structure will serve as a light amenity and services structure including restroom services, a
light commercial kitchen and food service, range ball distribution and cleaning, and storage space for
nonhazardous gear and materials (baskets, chairs, towels, office supplies etc.) located at the driving
range and start of the course. It will be replacing the existing starter shack and act as a satellite location
to compliment the main clubhouse. The purpose for the new starter shack is to replace, improve, and
increase the services available at the starter shack location and to better meet ADA and town code
conditions. The existing structure is not in a hazardous state or condition, but its replacement will be a
great improvement in terms of visual appearance and practical use.
The style and materials will match the neighboring clubhouse and its use supports the existing golf
course and aims to boost the visitors experience and provide maximum utility.
There will be no permanent outdoor lighting that would contribute to light pollution and the proposed
standard utilities would not affect air quality. With a minimal occupancy load, and parking being
provided at the neighboring clubhouse, the proposed facility would not affect traffic, public
transportation, or pedestrian access and safety. It would serve to enhance the public service able to be
provided on this recreational golf course.
There is clear access from sunburst drive for maintenance and safety. The structure is not in a location
that would hinder snow storage or removal from the public streets and parking areas. Parking is
provided at the neighboring clubhouse where traffic and access is open and free from congestion or
delay.
The primary objective is to provide better utility and services to the public recreational golf course. The
scale of the proposed structure is designed to be a welcoming landmark and beacon for the Vail Golf
Course. It will be more prominent than the existing structure while still retaining its secondary status to
the parent Clubhouse. With the style and materials matching and complimenting the neighboring
Clubhouse, the proposed starter shack will tie together the existing infrastructure and be a visual
improvement in terms of form and consistency.
Construction is anticipated to begin September 17th and will last up to 10 months. It will overlap the
Golf season for 1 month in the fall and 1 month in the spring. The existing square footage is
approximately 1,600 SF and the proposed starter shack will have 1,453 SF.

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 25, 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: Justin Lightfield
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 two conditions, 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 requested variance includes
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.
This application was last reviewed by the PEC on June 11, 2018. During the meeting,
the PEC members raised concerns over the applicant not clearly defining the four (4)
surface parking spaces used by Rush Condos. Due to the steep topography of the site,
a portion of the four (4) parking spaces were shown significantly over the hillside and
would require cantilevered parking or large retaining walls in order to meet Town of Vail
parking design regulations.
Since the June 11, 2018 PEC meeting, applicant has revised their plans with the
following changes:
• The applicant designed the new plans with the garage entrance to the west.
• The four (4) parking spaces have shifted farther west, thereby reducing the need
for cantilevered parking or large retaining walls.
• A boulder and landscaping area are proposed to the east corner of the parking
easement to prevent parking in the right of way, and to prevent an expansion of
the parking area.
• The parking spaces start five feet (5') from the edge of Basingdale Boulevard
asphalt with a guard rail at the end of all four (4) parking spaces.
• Bollards are proposed to the western side of the four (4) parking spaces to
prevent parking within seven feet (7') of the fire hydrant.
A vicinity map (Attachment A), project narrative (Attachment B), plan set (Attachment
C), an easement deed between the subject property and the property adjacent to the
north (Attachment D, discussed in greater detail in Section III below), and PEC meeting
minutes dated June 11, 2018 (Attachment E) 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
Town of Vail Page 2
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."
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)
Town of Vail Page 3
12-6D-1: PURPOSE.-
The
URPOSE:
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.
12-68-5: LOT AREA AND SITE DIMENSIONS.-
The
IMENSIONS:
The minimum lot or site area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of
buildable area, and each site shall have a minimum frontage of thirty feet (30).
Each site shall be of a size and shape capable of enclosing a square area, eight feet
(80) on each side, within its boundaries.
12-6D-8: DENSITY CONTROL.-
A.
ONTROL:
A. Dwelling Units: Not more than a total of two (2) dwelling units shall be
permitted on each site with only one dwelling unit permitted on existing lots
less than fourteen thousand (14, 000) square feet.
1. Exception: Properties that meet all of the following three (3) conditions
shall be permitted a total of two (2) dwelling units on existing lots less than
fourteen thousand (14, 000) square feet.-
a.
eet:
a. The property was annexed into the town of Vail with two (2) existing
dwelling units on a lot less than fourteen thousand (14, 000) square
feet.
b. The property as of April 1, 2016, contained two (2) dwelling units on a
lot less than fourteen thousand (14, 000) square feet.
c. At no time between the property's annexation and April 1, 2016, did the
property contain less than two (2) dwelling units.
2. Discontinuance Of Exception: If at any time any property as described
above develops or redevelops with only one dwelling unit, this exception
for the allowance of two (2) units shall no longer be valid for such property.
Chapter 10, Off Street Parking and Loading (in part)
12-10-10: PARKING AND REQUIREMENTS SCHEDULES.-
Town
CHEDULES:
Town of Vail Page 4
Off street parking requirements shall be determined in accordance with the following
schedules:
8. Schedule 8 applies to all properties outside Vail's "commercial core areas"
(as defined on the town of Vail core area parking maps 1 and 11, incorporated
by reference and available for inspection in the office of the town clerk):
Use Parkinq Requirements
Single-family and two-family If a dwelling unit's gross residential floor area is
dwellings less than 2,000 square feet. 2 spaces

2, 000 square feet or more, but less than 4, 000
square feet: 3 spaces
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:
Town of Vail Page 5
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.
B. Necessary Findings: The planning and environmental commission shall make
the following findings before granting a variance.-
1.
ariance:
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 ('/2) 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;
will not affect any existing transportation or traffic facilities, public facilities, or
utilities; and will not affect public safety in comparison to existing conditions.
Town of Vail Page 9
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 and driveway to allow for vehicles to pull
forward out of the driveway, onto to Basingdale Boulevard, thus avoiding the need to
back up into the right-of-way. 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.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff has provided individual recommendations for each of the two (2) variance
requests.

Re: PEC 18-0020
Review of 2841 Basingdale Boulevard Vail Colorado
Justin,
We have revised the drawings, per the latest PEC committee meeting and uploaded to DocX today.
In summary:
• 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
• A variance from Section 14-3-1, Minimum Standards, Vail Town Code,
to allow for more than one (1) curb cut per unit
• 4 parking spaces are dedicated for Rush Condominiums on the east of the garage, and the
driveway dedicated to 2841 Basingdale to the west of the garage. A boulder and landscaping
are placed to the very east corner of the parking easement to prevent illegal parking for Rush
condos.
4 Parking spaces for Rush Condominiums are shown. They start 5'-0" from edge of asphalt for a
recommended parking space size of 9'-0" x 19'-0" long, with a guard rail at the end of all 4 parking spots.
Onsite verification of the spots was complete by a licensed surveyor and marked in the field to provide
visual verification.
Eagle River Water required bollards to prevent parking within 7'-0" of the fire hydrant, also shown on
the drawings.
A boulder and landscaping were placed on the eastern most side of the parking area to prevent any
parking in the right of way, as requested by the PEC commission.
Page 1 of 2
We spent much time and effort to reduce the size of the drive pavement, per Commissioner Perez's
request, but after speaking with the Vail Public Works engineer, this did not allow for safe entering,
exiting and maneuvering from the street.
We are confident that these revised drawings address all of the items discussed throughout the PEC
Commission review meetings and are looking forward to complete our DRB, and ultimately receive our
construction permit.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Regards,
Scott Handler

Applicantiazier Lionshead LLC & Battle Moutnain LLC, represented by
Braun Associates, Inc.
Planner: Jonathan Spence
Planner Spence introduce the project. Four different
applications will be presented and discussed together,
including PEC18-0016, PEC18-0017, PEC18-0018, and
PEC18-0019. There are 3 main questions to be
addressed. Staff does not have any comments at this time
on the subdivision plat and the changes to the Pay in Lieu
Parking zones.
Tom Braun, Braun Associates — Representative of Lazier
Lionshead LLC & Battle Mountain LLC, presented an
overview of the project. He asked that at the end of the
presentation, the PEC identify any questions or additional
information that the applicant needs to provide for the next
hearing. Braun introduced the applicants, Bob and Diane
Lazier. He described the existing conditions of the site,
and the ownership and existing parcels.
Stockmar —Asked if the steps are in a permanent
easement? Braun and Spence indicated Yes.
Braun described how the two applicants have been in
collaboration up to date, and he introduced the architects
from Pierce Architects. First phase of the project is to
demolish the top parking deck of the parking structure.
Sidewalk along Lionshead Circle will be heated, new
driveway in easement will be installed. Only one setback
variance is proposed, and the meat of the application is
the Exterior Alteration for the new building.
Braun indicated that portions of Lionshead are in a no
parking, pay in lieu zone. These lots include properties
that do not have access to a road, and areas where the
Town does not want cars, on pedestrian areas. This lot
does have legal access to a road.
Gillette — Lift House, Vail 21 and Lionshead Arcade...
when does the parking fee need to be paid? Did they pay
it when they were built?
Braun — No, they did not pay the fee. They were existing
before this regulation was in place.
Stockmar- Asked how the existing parking on the lower
level of the structure will be treated.
Gillette — What is happening with the existing parking?
Spence — The parking will be replaced in the proposed
building.
Gillette — How does this address the issues that neighbors
have raised in the letters?
Spence — These are private agreements. Town will not
intercede into these private agreements, or on who can
use the parking that is constructed. Replacing parking that
exists today, plus the new parking demands created by this
development, plus a few more
Gillette - Are they replacing existing parking, and what's
required?
Spence — Yes.
Kjesbo — They are going to meet the code.
Gillette —Are we providing a timeframe for when these
spaces will be replaced?
Spence — No, that is not addressed in the code.
Gillette- How many parking spaces will be required to be
provided by Battle Mountain?
Spence — They are building enough parking to address
the existing parking on the Battle Mountain site.
Braun — Described the lot lines and old land subdivisions.
He described the minor subdivision, including past
subdivisions that were recorded by metes and bounds
descriptions, but which did not go through a Town of Vail
subdivision process. This application will formalize existing
subdivisions.
Stockmar — Do these new subdivisions comply?
Braun — Yes, they meet the Town code. He described the
footprint of the building and the setbacks along the west
side of the proposed building. This design will result in a
better relationship to the adjacent property when the
property to the west (Lazier) is developed. The building
setback is at 10 feet, but the structure below the deck is at
the property line. There is an easement allowing
pedestrian access to Vantage Point to the north. The zero
setback is only on the plaza level. Above grade setback is
at 10 feet.
Braun continued to discuss zoning issues. He explained
the proposed mechanical, automated parking structure
system. 54 spaces on the site now, and new demands will
be 17 spaces. We will always have 71 spaces on site, but
will likely have as many as 90 spaces. He discussed the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Plan discusses
urban renewal and redevelopment, which we are doing. At
a high level, we are doing what the master plan
recommends. He discussed "live beds" which are
encouraged by the Town code. There will be live beds in
this development; but people will not be required to use the
on site management. Amenities will encourage short term
rentals through the design of the building. He described
the arrival experience and the easement along the south
side of the site, to provide access to this project, Lazier
property, and Liftside property.
Braun showed image of the existing site, and the proposed
new building, which will help balance pedestrians and
vehicle access. He discussed the architectural guidelines
in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The master
plan gets fairly specific at times. The goal is to create an
identity for Lionshead. He provided some examples of
other redevelopments within the master plan area,
including Antlers, Arrabelle, Ritz Carlton, Lionshead
Visitors Center, First Chair, and The Lion. There is no
strict single theme in the architecture. He highlighted some
of the main elements of design, including building form
and massing, windows, wall materials, etc. Braun
discussed the idea of a base, middle and top. Lionshead
Visitors Center does not have much of a "middle", and
Arrabelle middle is busy. He described how The Ritz-
Carlton and The Lion met this design requirement.
Braun described how the proposed building meets the
requirements for a base, middle and top, with a strong
stone base. We are not on the primary pedestrian mall, so
rules here are a little bit different. Wall step backs are
required, but at a different height. He described the
articulation of the building.
Stockmar —Asked to confirm that the alley where the PEC
was walking on the site visit today is not considered a mall.
Spence — That is correct.
Braun continued to describe wall setbacks and changes in
materials. He discussed how balconies are used in
Lionshead, and how they are used on the proposed
building. He discussed windows and doors. Doors should
be heavy, and windows recessed in stone walls. He
discussed the guidelines on architectural details.
Gillette — Is this only a three inch veneer stone?
Bill Pierce — Will be more like an 8 inch stone
Braun — Decorative lighting proposed at the base of the
building. Decorative headers are also proposed. We
anticipate additional collaboration with staff, including a
few civil plan issues.
Kjesbo — On the zero setback, is that just the parking
garage? The building is setback 10 feet?
Braun — Yes, when the project is done, it will not be
perceived as zero setback.
Spence — Staff would like feedback on three specific
issues today. These include: Variance, hot beds and
intersection of wall plane and roof. He described some
staff concerns on the intersection of the wall and roof. He
showed photos of other buildings in Lionshead and how
they met this criteria.
Gillette — Recessed dormers on top of the roof, they seem
to meet this requirement.
Stockmar — Would like to see revisions in this area.
Spence — Showed areas of the master plan in the staff
memo, and what is required.
Bill Pierce, Architect — Described the goals of this
language in the master plan, and his role in helping draft
this master plan. We are trying to minimize the impacts to
the adjacent property owners. We cut the roof out, rather
than adding dormers.
Gillette — In my opinion, you are meeting the code.
Spence — Concern is how this will appear from pedestrian
level.
Gillete — If you see the building from the Ice Rink, then
you have tied the roof into the wall face well. If you are on
the Landmark property, you can't see the roof. I think you
are fine with the recessed decks.
Pierce — Building was designed to look like a mountain.
Dormers will add more mass and height. He read code
sections relating to roofs. We are trying not to add more
mass than we need. We are trying to make the building
look lower.
Hopkins — Look at the right deck, take that roof off;
something else to animate the building.
Stockmar — Would like to see more to)dure, and more
sense of variation.
Perez — Design is based on the text amendment, and the
property being removed from the parking fee in lieu area.
The te)d amendment was implemented in 2001. There is a
need to decrease parking. Goal is to reduce parking on
East Lionshead Circle. We need to discuss whether or not
we will remove this property from the fee in lieu zone.
Spence — Text amendment will not go into effect until the
plat is recorded. That will happen regardless of if this site
is redeveloped. Master Plan says that parking should be
replaced on site upon redevelopment. Properties without
access to a right-of-way should not have parking, but this
property has direct access.
Lockman — If there was a little more articulation on the
edge, that would be better.
Kurz — The roof as it looks on this image is stark to me.
Very few people will see this perspective. As Bill looks
closer at the design of the building, he will come up with a
design that we will all support
Kjesbo — The fascia line is at the same elevation on all four
sides. You don't see that in other buildings. Happy with
how this design has started, but it does have a linear look
around the building.
Spence — The rest of the building has many elements that
take away from the linear aspect , contrary to other parts
of the building design.
Braun — We want to get the basic form set, but details on
windows and trim will be addressed by the DRB. Looks
like we are close.
Stockmar — Does look like the building terminates with the
cap, but looks unfinished above the eave.
Pierce — Intention is to be the opposite of The Lion, where
dormers and roofs are on the outside edge. Idea is to
minimize apparent height and volume.
Stockmar — Concern is the from the ground looking up,
you see an eve that smacks you in the face..
Pierce — I will look at it. We plan to interface the roof and
wall in a similar way as the Lionshead Parking Structure.
Stockmar — Lionshead Parking structure makes a to)dure
break.
Gillette — I think you are on the right track. Its making an
eclectic neighborhood.
Kjesbo —Asked to see where the mechanical equipment
will be on the building.
Spence — Discussed the requested variance, which is a
bit different from other setbacks. This is a fully formed
floor with a deck above it. Its interim, but we do not know
how long the interim will last. Staff is looking for
preliminary feedback on this variance request.
Stockmar — The transition will be important both before
and after construction. It should be attractive before the
second development on the adjacent building.
Kjesbo — You should plan for the other side of the building
to be developed. Sounds like the adjacent owner is on
board with this design.
Braun — The proposed wall is better that the existing
condition that exists today.
Kurz — If Lazier decides not to build, we need to be able to
deal with what is there. What prevents Lazier from also
building up to the property line?
Braun — Lazier is currently planning a building up to the
property line.
Spence asked if a Memorandum of Understanding from
the two property owners would be helpful.
Bob Lazier, Lazier Development — We intend to build our
new development at the same time. Originally we planned
an underground parking structure. We are also looking at
how this will impact Vantage Point. There will be a nice
plaza on the upper level. We are trying to create a smooth
transition.
Stockmar — Would like to see a Memorandum of
Understanding.
Kurz —Asked about the mechanical parking system, are
any of those built in snow country? Would like a
presentation on this type of system.
Lockman — Loading and delivery is an issue right now. If
you transition to pavers and a residential mall feeling, that
might get lost.
Spence — Properties without significant loading and
delivery will rely on the delivery bunker under Arrabelle.
With this development, the deliveries will need to shift.
Stockmar — Does that take a lot of trundling?
Spence — Perhaps, but significantly less than commercial
buildings with lots of deliveries.
Gillette — Was the idea to discuss the change to the fee in
lieu zones as part of this meeting? There needs to be a
D IA with an understanding on how the parking will be
replaced.
Braun — Your question is about when the top deck of the
parking structure is replaced. Perez's concern is about
the change to the fee in lieu zone.
Spence — Staff believes that this fee in lieu could have
been discussed years ago, as the existing parking
structure is located in an area where parking is not
currently allowed.
Perez — We are talking about the fee in lieu zones in the
context of a specific development. Can you come back to
us with some history on this fee in lieu and how it relates to
the master plan?
Spence — We are also looking at the purpose of the fee in
lieu zone. He showed maps of the original and proposed
fee in lieu maps.
Gillette — Why are adjacent properties not also included in
this fee in lieu map change?
Spence — We do not want those properties to be
redeveloped with on-site parking, therefore the fee in lieu
is appropriate.
Braun — Today, we cannot redevelop with replacement of
on-site parking, based on current regulations.
Perez — I'm concerned that this fee in lieu map change is
a special privilege for the applicant.
Lockman — Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan has
specific language on parking, and what is the timeline for
replacing parking.
Gillette — DIA should have been in place before
demolishing the parking structure. It should be tied to
something.
Kjesbo — We can't add conditions of approval on two
different owners.
Stockmar — We are not taking away public parking. It's an
issue of reaching agreements between the parties
affected.
Gillette — There are supposed to be 183 parking spaces.
Those spaces need to be maintained; before you demo
the building, there should have been a DIA in place.
Braun There are 135 spaces today, and a letter from the
past indicating 169 spaces. The current application
includes a minimum of 171 spaces, and possibly up to the
low 190s.
Gillette — I would like to see how parking is replaced, and
when.
Braun — We are not sure how you would force an owner
to build something.
Gillette — It can be controlled with a DIA.
Kjesbo — You need to address the fee in lieu zone so that
you can replace the parking. That is logical to me. It's not
a special privilege to me. We will get 160 — 180 spaces
that the Town does not have to pay for.
Lazier — In the interim, while the top deck is removed,
Arcade will have 14 spaces. And 32 spaces will be
provided for Lift House. We had excess spaces, and they
were rented to commercial tenants. Lift House will not be
affected. We will have 88 spaces, plus what we need for
our new development.
Public Comment
Stewart McNabb —Attorney of the Lift House. We are not
asking the Town to adjudicate the number of parking
spaces and private agreements. We are trying to maintain
the status quo. But with parking spaces removed, we are
asking for a condition of approval that parking spaces
removed be replaced, to stay in conformance with the
zoning regulations.
Dale Bugby, Manager for Lift House Condominium
Association. We are not expecting you to solve our
parking situation. It was 69 spaces, not 32 as stated by
Bob Lazier. There are 45 condos. We had 69 spots in
1972. That land has a parking requirement that has not
gone away. The C.O. for the building stated that parking
needed to be provided on this site. Now Lazier wants to
reduce from 69 parking spaces to 32 spaces. Town should
not have issued a permit to demolish the parking structure
without the parking addressed . There are also parking
requirements for the commercial tenants like Bart and
Yeti's and Montauk. Lift House has no way to replace
parking. Pay in lieu probably makes sense for those three
buildings, but the obligation is still there to provide parking.
Lazier — We fully intend to replace what has been on site
for 45 years and any new parking requirements.
Stockmar — Would like to see this in writing to protect you
and clearly delineate new parking.
Public Comment Closed
Gillette — If you take the number of spaces required in
1972, subtract the number provided.
Lockman — I nitial design looks like it was thought out.
Happy with what the applicants have presented to far.
Hopkins — We did not discuss the north elevation, and
closeness to Vantage Point. Would like to know more
about snow shedding on the south balconies, and more
detail on the mechanical parking.
Perez — Nothing to add.
Kurz — The success of this application will depend on
resolving parking issues, physically and legally. It is
incumbent on the applicant to get us as much information
as possible on these issues. This area needs help, and the
redevelopment will be a great enhancement to Lionshead
and the inventory of good properties. If we can get the
parking issues out of the way, I will be happy to move this
forward.
Gillette — Would like to address the parking, and request
Town Attorney to attend next meetings.
Stockmar — Would like to address these few issues. Also,
would like to see sun shade studies, and a Memorandum
of Understanding on the parking related issues.
Braun — Unsure if we will have a MOU by next meeting,
but we can have some letters about our intent. We will
have more information on the automated parking,
setbacks, wall/roof interface, north side building and snow
shedding.

ApplicantUichael & Yoshimi Moore, represented by Visual I mpax
Planner: Justin Lightfield presented by Jonathan Spence
1. `Approval of this variance is contingent upon the applicant obtaining
Town of Vail design review approval for this proposal. "
Spence introduced the project. This is the third meeting on
this application. At the site visit today, the PEC was able to
see the parking easement marked in the field, and the
challenges of the site.
Scott Handler, Visual I mpax, Applicant —At the last
hearing, the PEC had some suggestions and requests.
The adjacent property owners are here today. As you saw
at the site visit, the location of the easement leaves no
space for another curb cut. The access to the site is very
difficult. The subdivision of the property created these
hardships, and was not created by the applicant. We are
asking to use only 557 square feet of paving. We looked at
redesigning the access to reduce the amount of paving
and curb cuts. We had a surveyor mark the lot and the
parking easement, and the parking spots.
Handler - We feel that access to the west side of the site
works much better. It would give all the parking on the east
side of the garage to the condos, and all of our parking on
the west. He also described how 4 parking spaces could fit
if access was taken from the east, but the parking is very
tight. We have approval to move the fire hydrant, if
necessary. He showed diagrams of various parking
scenarios. Access from the west would not require
backing out into the public road, and would not require
moving the fire hydrant, plus additional parking for the
condominium. Access from east results in 291 square feet
less parking, and only one curb cut. He showed
renderings of the developed site.
Spence — Town Engineer, Tom Kassmel, is in attendance
to answer questions.
Kassmel — Our goal is to make roadway as safe as
possible, and to reduce curb cuts and backing out of
driveways. Option for taking access from the east is what
we have today. On the west, there could be a benefit of
having vehicles heading out (not backing out). One
concern is showing more turning movements, and what is
designed may not be sufficient. Second concern is with
the distance to existing curb cuts, and the potential for
curb cuts to be combined , thus creating head in parking.
If we can keep linear footage the same, and ensure
heading out onto the road, that would be best.
Kjesbo — Parking should be on their own property, but
what we saw today results in only one parking spot
meeting town regulations. As shown, its in the right of way.
Gillette — Drawing indicates that improvements are to be
completed by Rush Condos.
Michael Moore — We understand that each owner will
need to pay their proportionate share of the cost of paving.
Gillette — You will need major retaining (walls) to building
the parking as shown on this drawing. If this is the
proposal, you will need to provide a design of this parking
area.
Kjesbo — Based on your survey, much of the parking will
be down the hillside, or off into space.
Handler — Maybe for the last two parking spots.
Moore — Two options in front of the board, including two
variances. We have developed an Option 2. One of the
variances is on the amount of paving, which can be in
various forms. Without the variance the site can't be built.
Option 1 does require a second variance, for a second
curb cut. There is a single curb cut now. If you grant a
second variance, it results in one curb cut per property. In
this case it may be appropriate to have a second curb cut,
to have a dedicated entrance to the new development, and
to move parking spaces so they are on private property.
Without a variance on the east, the site can't be
developed.
Kjesbo — Gave a history of this site, and how the easement
was added to the site, then the lot was resold. Four
parking spots need to come into compliance with Town
regulations. Only way to do that is to build retaining walls.
Gillette — You need to show 4 defined parking spots, either
by cantilevering or adding retaining walls, or shifting the
garage location.
Spence — This can be done with a Condition of Approval.
Handler — If we receive the second curb cut, it will be
much easier to provide the parking for Rush condos.
Hopkins — Don't believe that there will be enough space for
the needed turning radius with the curb cut on the east.
Handler — The first design is safer for everybody.
Lockman —Additional curb cut is an additional variance,
but its safer. I'm inclined to go back to the first design
access from the west.
Hopkins — Don't think access from east works. Like to see
more landscaping in the front, between the street and
hammerhead.
Handler — Showed where additional landscaping can be
placed on site.
Perez — It's not the purview of the Commission to create 4
parking spaces for the adjacent property. In the easement,
you are reserving 2 parking spaces for yourself. That
leads to more pavement. A solution needs to be presented
that reduces paving. Please give us more clarity on what
you are requesting.
Moore — With the western curb cut design, the 2 reserved
spaces are being abandoned. On the eastern access
design, those spaces are used by Rush Condos.
Public Comment —
Bill Wolford, Rush Condos — The past is a bit haunting to
this site. When Mr. Moore bought the property two years
ago, I consulted an attorney. The easement was created in
1993. Logically, each condo should have at least 1 parking
space. Buyers of the condo purchase in good faith that
there will be at least 1 parking space. The western
entrance design makes sense. Its illegal parking that we
have now. To move everything to the west makes sense
and is a practical solution. Very concerned with safety,
due to speeding on the road. Western entrance will be
safer for the applicant, but there will be no change to Rush
Condos, which will continue to back out.
Public Comment Closed
Gillette- I can get on board with either the west or east
access. Let's decide that first.
Kjesbo — We need to go on the east side, and make sure
they have 4 legal spots for the Rush Condos. Town
Engineer recommends no second curb cut. That will
minimize the variance. Yes, you will still have backing out
onto the road.
Gillette —Agree with Kjesbo. An advantage of access from
the east is having more landscaping. This allows garage to
move west, allowing more parking in front of garage.
Kurz —Agree with Kjesbo's perception. I like the west
entrance to the garage better. The easement requires
providing parking to the adjacent property, but not
increasing the amount of paving. Its hard to say we need
to grant the parking to Rush, when they created the
parking.
Hopkins- Like the west entrance better, the east does not
work. There are lots of parking hardships in this town.
Lockman — There is some unique history to this site. We
should support finding safer solutions. I think the western
access works.
Moore — Every jurisdiction has its own requirements. You
should look at whether the headship is avoidable or
created by the applicant. There is almost nothing on the
record on the curb cut existing with no home there. There
is a hardship here, and the hardship was not created by
myself and my wife.
Perez — Survey was from 2014. Do you have a more
recent survey?
Moore - We have a boundary survey. We will have a new
survey for the DRB. We have not done any changes or
improvement to the property since we owned it.
Stockmar — My comments follow those of Kjesbo. You
bought into a difficult solution. The eastern access will be
one curb cut, and lots of pavement. The western entry, if
landscaped well, will allow you to pull out forward into the
street. Lean toward original proposal, access from the
west. It's not our job or authority to propose the solution.
Inclination is to have less parking backing out. I will give
credit to a second curb cut if we can cut down to four
parking spaces for Rush Condos.
Moore — The access from the west will allow us to move
the parking to the west, and reduce the need for
cantilevered parking or large retaining walls, which will
reduce the environmental impacts, too.
Kassmel — Described how safety can be improved by
limiting Rush Condos parking to only 4 parking spaces,
and ensuring that access from the west includes turning
movements that allow all cars to pull out forward from the
new curb cut.
Kjesbo — You should be able to define parking so that it is
only four parking spaces. We need to do something to
define these four spots. Is the Town installing curb and
gutter in this location?
Kassmel — No current plans for curb and gutter by the
town.
Moore — Described issues with the changes to the fire
hydrant.
Spence — Summarized the additional information
requested by the PEC to ensure that the correct
information is provided.
Gillette —Asked how much space must be provided on the
applicant's property, and how can the Town ensure that
additional parking spaces are not created in the future.
Kassmel — Described how large parking is required to be
9'x19' on property, plus 5 feet to the road. He described
how berms can be used to prevent additional parking.
Brian Gillette moved to table to June 25, 2018. Ludwig Kurz seconded the
motion and it passed (7-0).

of a building permit.
3. Concurrent with the submission of a building permit application, the
applicant shall submit a site specific geological investigation, in
accordance with Section 12-21-13, Vail Town Code, for any proposed
development within a mapped Rockfall Hazard Area. The applicant
shall be responsible for any changes to the building permit plans
required by the professional geologist or registered professional
engineer who prepared the report.
4. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy for the building, the applicant shall legally
execute and record with the Eag(e County Clerk and Recorder the
Town of Vail Type VI employee housing unit covenant for all sixty-five
(65) residential units within the building.
5. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall exchange
eleven (11) existing deed restrictions on the property to other
locations in the Town, though the Employee Housing Unit Deed
Restriction Exchange Program, Section 12-13-5 Vail Town Code.
However, if the applicant obtains only one building permit for both the
demolition of the existing Solar Vail building and for construction of
the new development (as opposed to separate demolition permit and
building permit), then the timing for exchange of the eleven (11)
existing deed restrictions on the property may be delayed until
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the new Solar Vail
building.
Neubecker walked the Commission through the proposed
changes to the development plan since the previous
approval was granted. These changes include unit mix,
GRFA, site coverage, parking number and location,
building height, office space, roof plan and development to
the rear (north) of the structure.
Perez -Same number of units but a reduction in beds.
What is the change in bed count?
Neubecker -Perhaps a question best for Henry Pratt.
Stockmar-Location of mechanicals?
Neubecker spoke to the formal development plan and
parking management.
Henry Pratt, Architect - Spoke to the increase in
construction costs and steps made to reduce costs.
Discussed the tandem parking proposal and its reduction
in drive aisle, allowance for mechanicals and tenant
storage. The changes to the parking numbers as a result
of the loss of office use. Spoke to the parking
management plan and bed count.
Stockmar-Has the applicant looked at lease agreements
that will restrict autos?
Pratt - Preference will be given to potential tenants with no
cars.
Hopkins -Isn't the summer the parking issue at the
structure (overnight)?
Lockman -Asked about mechanicals
Neubecker-Spoke to the change in bed/bedroom counts.
Lockman -Recognized the challenges with cost and the
necessary changes.
Hopkins agrees with Lockman
Perez -Agrees. Supports the reduction in office space.
Kurz- Agrees. Feels that the tandem parking is an internal
issue. Feels the changes have made for a better project.
Kjesbo-Ok with it
Stockmar- Supports changes and eliminating 3 bedrooms.
Spoke to unit mix
Perez -Have you discussed the changes with the
neighbors?
Pratt - No. Changes not substantive.
Ludwig Kurz moved to approve with conditions. Rollie Kjesbo seconded the
motion and it passed (6-1).

Applicantiazier Lionshead LLC & Battle Moutnain LLC, represented by

Planner: Jonathan Spence
Planner Spence introduce the project. Four different
applications will be presented and discussed together,
including PEC18-0016, PEC18-0017, PEC18-0018, and
PEC18-0019. There are 3 main questions to be
addressed. Staff does not have any comments at this time
on the subdivision plat and the changes to the Pay in Lieu
Parking zones.
Tom Braun, Braun Associates — Representative of Lazier
Lionshead LLC & Battle Mountain LLC, presented an
overview of the project. He asked that at the end of the
presentation, the PEC identify any questions or additional
information that the applicant needs to provide for the next
hearing. Braun introduced the applicants, Bob and Diane
Lazier. He described the existing conditions of the site,
and the ownership and existing parcels.
Stockmar —Asked if the steps are in a permanent
easement? Braun and Spence indicated Yes.
Braun described how the two applicants have been in
collaboration up to date, and he introduced the architects
from Pierce Architects. First phase of the project is to
demolish the top parking deck of the parking structure.
Sidewalk along Lionshead Circle will be heated, new
driveway in easement will be installed. Only one setback
variance is proposed, and the meat of the application is
the Exterior Alteration for the new building.
Braun indicated that portions of Lionshead are in a no
parking, pay in lieu zone. These lots include properties
that do not have access to a road, and areas where the
Town does not want cars, on pedestrian areas. This lot
does have legal access to a road.
Gillette — Lift House, Vail 21 and Lionshead Arcade...
when does the parking fee need to be paid? Did they pay
it when they were built?
Braun — No, they did not pay the fee. They were existing
before this regulation was in place.
Stockmar- Asked how the existing parking on the lower
level of the structure will be treated.
Gillette — What is happening with the existing parking?
Spence — The parking will be replaced in the proposed
building.
Gillette — How does this address the issues that neighbors
have raised in the letters?
Spence — These are private agreements. Town will not
intercede into these private agreements, or on who can
use the parking that is constructed. Replacing parking that
exists today, plus the new parking demands created by this
development, plus a few more
Gillette - Are they replacing existing parking, and what's
required?
Spence — Yes.
Kjesbo — They are going to meet the code.
Gillette —Are we providing a timeframe for when these
spaces will be replaced?
Spence — No, that is not addressed in the code.
Gillette- How many parking spaces will be required to be
provided by Battle Mountain?
Spence — They are building enough parking to address
the existing parking on the Battle Mountain site.
Braun — Described the lot lines and old land subdivisions.
He described the minor subdivision, including past
subdivisions that were recorded by metes and bounds
descriptions, but which did not go through a Town of Vail
subdivision process. This application will formalize existing
subdivisions.
Stockmar — Do these new subdivisions comply?
Braun — Yes, they meet the Town code. He described the
footprint of the building and the setbacks along the west
side of the proposed building. This design will result in a
better relationship to the adjacent property when the
property to the west (Lazier) is developed. The building
setback is at 10 feet, but the structure below the deck is at
the property line. There is an easement allowing
pedestrian access to Vantage Point to the north. The zero
setback is only on the plaza level. Above grade setback is
at 10 feet.
Braun continued to discuss zoning issues. He explained
the proposed mechanical, automated parking structure
system. 54 spaces on the site now, and new demands will
be 17 spaces. We will always have 71 spaces on site, but
will likely have as many as 90 spaces. He discussed the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Plan discusses
urban renewal and redevelopment, which we are doing. At
a high level, we are doing what the master plan
recommends. He discussed "live beds" which are
encouraged by the Town code. There will be live beds in
this development; but people will not be required to use the
on site management. Amenities will encourage short term
rentals through the design of the building. He described
the arrival experience and the easement along the south
side of the site, to provide access to this project, Lazier
property, and Liftside property.
Braun showed image of the existing site, and the proposed
new building, which will help balance pedestrians and
vehicle access. He discussed the architectural guidelines
in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The master
plan gets fairly specific at times. The goal is to create an
identity for Lionshead. He provided some examples of
other redevelopments within the master plan area,
including Antlers, Arrabelle, Ritz Carlton, Lionshead
Visitors Center, First Chair, and The Lion. There is no
strict single theme in the architecture. He highlighted some
of the main elements of design, including building form
and massing, windows, wall materials, etc. Braun
discussed the idea of a base, middle and top. Lionshead
Visitors Center does not have much of a "middle", and
Arrabelle middle is busy. He described how The Ritz-
Carlton and The Lion met this design requirement.
Braun described how the proposed building meets the
requirements for a base, middle and top, with a strong
stone base. We are not on the primary pedestrian mall, so
rules here are a little bit different. Wall step backs are
required, but at a different height. He described the
articulation of the building.
Stockmar —Asked to confirm that the alley where the PEC
was walking on the site visit today is not considered a mall.
Spence — That is correct.
Braun continued to describe wall setbacks and changes in
materials. He discussed how balconies are used in
Lionshead, and how they are used on the proposed
building. He discussed windows and doors. Doors should
be heavy, and windows recessed in stone walls. He
discussed the guidelines on architectural details.
Gillette — Is this only a three inch veneer stone?
Bill Pierce — Will be more like an 8 inch stone
Braun — Decorative lighting proposed at the base of the
building. Decorative headers are also proposed. We
anticipate additional collaboration with staff, including a
few civil plan issues.
Kjesbo — On the zero setback, is that just the parking
garage? The building is setback 10 feet?
Braun — Yes, when the project is done, it will not be
perceived as zero setback.
Spence — Staff would like feedback on three specific
issues today. These include: Variance, hot beds and
intersection of wall plane and roof. He described some
staff concerns on the intersection of the wall and roof. He
showed photos of other buildings in Lionshead and how
they met this criteria.
Gillette — Recessed dormers on top of the roof, they seem
to meet this requirement.
Stockmar — Would like to see revisions in this area.
Spence — Showed areas of the master plan in the staff
memo, and what is required.
Bill Pierce, Architect — Described the goals of this
language in the master plan, and his role in helping draft
this master plan. We are trying to minimize the impacts to
the adjacent property owners. We cut the roof out, rather
than adding dormers.
Gillette — In my opinion, you are meeting the code.
Spence — Concern is how this will appear from pedestrian
level.
Gillete — If you see the building from the Ice Rink, then
you have tied the roof into the wall face well. If you are on
the Landmark property, you can't see the roof. I think you
are fine with the recessed decks.
Pierce — Building was designed to look like a mountain.
Dormers will add more mass and height. He read code
sections relating to roofs. We are trying not to add more
mass than we need. We are trying to make the building
look lower.
Hopkins — Look at the right deck, take that roof off;
something else to animate the building.
Stockmar — Would like to see more to)dure, and more
sense of variation.
Perez — Design is based on the text amendment, and the
property being removed from the parking fee in lieu area.
The te)d amendment was implemented in 2001. There is a
need to decrease parking. Goal is to reduce parking on
East Lionshead Circle. We need to discuss whether or not
we will remove this property from the fee in lieu zone.
Spence — Text amendment will not go into effect until the
plat is recorded. That will happen regardless of if this site
is redeveloped. Master Plan says that parking should be
replaced on site upon redevelopment. Properties without
access to a right-of-way should not have parking, but this
property has direct access.
Lockman — If there was a little more articulation on the
edge, that would be better.
Kurz — The roof as it looks on this image is stark to me.
Very few people will see this perspective. As Bill looks
closer at the design of the building, he will come up with a
design that we will all support
Kjesbo — The fascia line is at the same elevation on all four
sides. You don't see that in other buildings. Happy with
how this design has started, but it does have a linear look
around the building.
Spence — The rest of the building has many elements that
take away from the linear aspect , contrary to other parts
of the building design.
Braun — We want to get the basic form set, but details on
windows and trim will be addressed by the DRB. Looks
like we are close.
Stockmar — Does look like the building terminates with the
cap, but looks unfinished above the eave.
Pierce — Intention is to be the opposite of The Lion, where
dormers and roofs are on the outside edge. Idea is to
minimize apparent height and volume.
Stockmar — Concern is the from the ground looking up,
you see an eve that smacks you in the face..
Pierce — I will look at it. We plan to interface the roof and
wall in a similar way as the Lionshead Parking Structure.
Stockmar — Lionshead Parking structure makes a to)dure
break.
Gillette — I think you are on the right track. Its making an
eclectic neighborhood.
Kjesbo —Asked to see where the mechanical equipment
will be on the building.
Spence — Discussed the requested variance, which is a
bit different from other setbacks. This is a fully formed
floor with a deck above it. Its interim, but we do not know
how long the interim will last. Staff is looking for
preliminary feedback on this variance request.
Stockmar — The transition will be important both before
and after construction. It should be attractive before the
second development on the adjacent building.
Kjesbo — You should plan for the other side of the building
to be developed. Sounds like the adjacent owner is on
board with this design.
Braun — The proposed wall is better that the existing
condition that exists today.
Kurz — If Lazier decides not to build, we need to be able to
deal with what is there. What prevents Lazier from also
building up to the property line?
Braun — Lazier is currently planning a building up to the
property line.
Spence asked if a Memorandum of Understanding from
the two property owners would be helpful.
Bob Lazier, Lazier Development — We intend to build our
new development at the same time. Originally we planned
an underground parking structure. We are also looking at
how this will impact Vantage Point. There will be a nice
plaza on the upper level. We are trying to create a smooth
transition.
Stockmar — Would like to see a Memorandum of
Understanding.
Kurz —Asked about the mechanical parking system, are
any of those built in snow country? Would like a
presentation on this type of system.
Lockman — Loading and delivery is an issue right now. If
you transition to pavers and a residential mall feeling, that
might get lost.
Spence — Properties without significant loading and
delivery will rely on the delivery bunker under Arrabelle.
With this development, the deliveries will need to shift.
Stockmar — Does that take a lot of trundling?
Spence — Perhaps, but significantly less than commercial
buildings with lots of deliveries.
Gillette — Was the idea to discuss the change to the fee in
lieu zones as part of this meeting? There needs to be a
D IA with an understanding on how the parking will be
replaced.
Braun — Your question is about when the top deck of the
parking structure is replaced. Perez's concern is about
the change to the fee in lieu zone.
Spence — Staff believes that this fee in lieu could have
been discussed years ago, as the existing parking
structure is located in an area where parking is not
currently allowed.
Perez — We are talking about the fee in lieu zones in the
context of a specific development. Can you come back to
us with some history on this fee in lieu and how it relates to
the master plan?
Spence — We are also looking at the purpose of the fee in
lieu zone. He showed maps of the original and proposed
fee in lieu maps.
Gillette — Why are adjacent properties not also included in
this fee in lieu map change?
Spence — We do not want those properties to be
redeveloped with on-site parking, therefore the fee in lieu
is appropriate.
Braun — Today, we cannot redevelop with replacement of
on-site parking, based on current regulations.
Perez — I'm concerned that this fee in lieu map change is
a special privilege for the applicant.
Lockman — Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan has
specific language on parking, and what is the timeline for
replacing parking.
Gillette — DIA should have been in place before
demolishing the parking structure. It should be tied to
something.
Kjesbo — We can't add conditions of approval on two
different owners.
Stockmar — We are not taking away public parking. It's an
issue of reaching agreements between the parties
affected.
Gillette — There are supposed to be 183 parking spaces.
Those spaces need to be maintained; before you demo
the building, there should have been a DIA in place.
Braun There are 135 spaces today, and a letter from the
past indicating 169 spaces. The current application
includes a minimum of 171 spaces, and possibly up to the
low 190s.
Gillette — I would like to see how parking is replaced, and
when.
Braun — We are not sure how you would force an owner
to build something.
Gillette — It can be controlled with a DIA.
Kjesbo — You need to address the fee in lieu zone so that
you can replace the parking. That is logical to me. It's not
a special privilege to me. We will get 160 — 180 spaces
that the Town does not have to pay for.
Lazier — In the interim, while the top deck is removed,
Arcade will have 14 spaces. And 32 spaces will be
provided for Lift House. We had excess spaces, and they
were rented to commercial tenants. Lift House will not be
affected. We will have 88 spaces, plus what we need for
our new development.
Public Comment
Stewart McNabb —Attorney of the Lift House. We are not
asking the Town to adjudicate the number of parking
spaces and private agreements. We are trying to maintain
the status quo. But with parking spaces removed, we are
asking for a condition of approval that parking spaces
removed be replaced, to stay in conformance with the
zoning regulations.
Dale Bugby, Manager for Lift House Condominium
Association. We are not expecting you to solve our
parking situation. It was 69 spaces, not 32 as stated by
Bob Lazier. There are 45 condos. We had 69 spots in
1972. That land has a parking requirement that has not
gone away. The C.O. for the building stated that parking
needed to be provided on this site. Now Lazier wants to
reduce from 69 parking spaces to 32 spaces. Town should
not have issued a permit to demolish the parking structure
without the parking addressed . There are also parking
requirements for the commercial tenants like Bart and
Yeti's and Montauk. Lift House has no way to replace
parking. Pay in lieu probably makes sense for those three
buildings, but the obligation is still there to provide parking.
Lazier — We fully intend to replace what has been on site
for 45 years and any new parking requirements.
Stockmar — Would like to see this in writing to protect you
and clearly delineate new parking.
Public Comment Closed
Gillette — If you take the number of spaces required in
1972, subtract the number provided.
Lockman — I nitial design looks like it was thought out.
Happy with what the applicants have presented to far.
Hopkins — We did not discuss the north elevation, and
closeness to Vantage Point. Would like to know more
about snow shedding on the south balconies, and more
detail on the mechanical parking.
Perez — Nothing to add.
Kurz — The success of this application will depend on
resolving parking issues, physically and legally. It is
incumbent on the applicant to get us as much information
as possible on these issues. This area needs help, and the
redevelopment will be a great enhancement to Lionshead
and the inventory of good properties. If we can get the
parking issues out of the way, I will be happy to move this
forward.
Gillette — Would like to address the parking, and request
Town Attorney to attend next meetings.
Stockmar — Would like to address these few issues. Also,
would like to see sun shade studies, and a Memorandum
of Understanding on the parking related issues.
Braun — Unsure if we will have a MOU by next meeting,
but we can have some letters about our intent. We will
have more information on the automated parking,
setbacks, wall/roof interface, north side building and snow
shedding.

ApplicantUichael & Yoshimi Moore, represented by Visual I mpax
Planner: Justin Lightfield presented by Jonathan Spence
1. `Approval of this variance is contingent upon the applicant obtaining
Town of Vail design review approval for this proposal. "
Spence introduced the project. This is the third meeting on
this application. At the site visit today, the PEC was able to
see the parking easement marked in the field, and the
challenges of the site.
Scott Handler, Visual I mpax, Applicant —At the last
hearing, the PEC had some suggestions and requests.
The adjacent property owners are here today. As you saw
at the site visit, the location of the easement leaves no
space for another curb cut. The access to the site is very
difficult. The subdivision of the property created these
hardships, and was not created by the applicant. We are
asking to use only 557 square feet of paving. We looked at
redesigning the access to reduce the amount of paving
and curb cuts. We had a surveyor mark the lot and the
parking easement, and the parking spots.
Handler - We feel that access to the west side of the site
works much better. It would give all the parking on the east
side of the garage to the condos, and all of our parking on
the west. He also described how 4 parking spaces could fit
if access was taken from the east, but the parking is very
tight. We have approval to move the fire hydrant, if
necessary. He showed diagrams of various parking
scenarios. Access from the west would not require
backing out into the public road, and would not require
moving the fire hydrant, plus additional parking for the
condominium. Access from east results in 291 square feet
less parking, and only one curb cut. He showed
renderings of the developed site.
Spence — Town Engineer, Tom Kassmel, is in attendance
to answer questions.
Kassmel — Our goal is to make roadway as safe as
possible, and to reduce curb cuts and backing out of
driveways. Option for taking access from the east is what
we have today. On the west, there could be a benefit of
having vehicles heading out (not backing out). One
concern is showing more turning movements, and what is
designed may not be sufficient. Second concern is with
the distance to existing curb cuts, and the potential for
curb cuts to be combined , thus creating head in parking.
If we can keep linear footage the same, and ensure
heading out onto the road, that would be best.
Kjesbo — Parking should be on their own property, but
what we saw today results in only one parking spot
meeting town regulations. As shown, its in the right of way.
Gillette — Drawing indicates that improvements are to be
completed by Rush Condos.
Michael Moore — We understand that each owner will
need to pay their proportionate share of the cost of paving.
Gillette — You will need major retaining (walls) to building
the parking as shown on this drawing. If this is the
proposal, you will need to provide a design of this parking
area.
Kjesbo — Based on your survey, much of the parking will
be down the hillside, or off into space.
Handler — Maybe for the last two parking spots.
Moore — Two options in front of the board, including two
variances. We have developed an Option 2. One of the
variances is on the amount of paving, which can be in
various forms. Without the variance the site can't be built.
Option 1 does require a second variance, for a second
curb cut. There is a single curb cut now. If you grant a
second variance, it results in one curb cut per property. In
this case it may be appropriate to have a second curb cut,
to have a dedicated entrance to the new development, and
to move parking spaces so they are on private property.
Without a variance on the east, the site can't be
developed.
Kjesbo — Gave a history of this site, and how the easement
was added to the site, then the lot was resold. Four
parking spots need to come into compliance with Town
regulations. Only way to do that is to build retaining walls.
Gillette — You need to show 4 defined parking spots, either
by cantilevering or adding retaining walls, or shifting the
garage location.
Spence — This can be done with a Condition of Approval.
Handler — If we receive the second curb cut, it will be
much easier to provide the parking for Rush condos.
Hopkins — Don't believe that there will be enough space for
the needed turning radius with the curb cut on the east.
Handler — The first design is safer for everybody.
Lockman —Additional curb cut is an additional variance,
but its safer. I'm inclined to go back to the first design
access from the west.
Hopkins — Don't think access from east works. Like to see
more landscaping in the front, between the street and
hammerhead.
Handler — Showed where additional landscaping can be
placed on site.
Perez — It's not the purview of the Commission to create 4
parking spaces for the adjacent property. In the easement,
you are reserving 2 parking spaces for yourself. That
leads to more pavement. A solution needs to be presented
that reduces paving. Please give us more clarity on what
you are requesting.
Moore — With the western curb cut design, the 2 reserved
spaces are being abandoned. On the eastern access
design, those spaces are used by Rush Condos.
Public Comment —
Bill Wolford, Rush Condos — The past is a bit haunting to
this site. When Mr. Moore bought the property two years
ago, I consulted an attorney. The easement was created in
1993. Logically, each condo should have at least 1 parking
space. Buyers of the condo purchase in good faith that
there will be at least 1 parking space. The western
entrance design makes sense. Its illegal parking that we
have now. To move everything to the west makes sense
and is a practical solution. Very concerned with safety,
due to speeding on the road. Western entrance will be
safer for the applicant, but there will be no change to Rush
Condos, which will continue to back out.
Public Comment Closed
Gillette- I can get on board with either the west or east
access. Let's decide that first.
Kjesbo — We need to go on the east side, and make sure
they have 4 legal spots for the Rush Condos. Town
Engineer recommends no second curb cut. That will
minimize the variance. Yes, you will still have backing out
onto the road.
Gillette —Agree with Kjesbo. An advantage of access from
the east is having more landscaping. This allows garage to
move west, allowing more parking in front of garage.
Kurz —Agree with Kjesbo's perception. I like the west
entrance to the garage better. The easement requires
providing parking to the adjacent property, but not
increasing the amount of paving. Its hard to say we need
to grant the parking to Rush, when they created the
parking.
Hopkins- Like the west entrance better, the east does not
work. There are lots of parking hardships in this town.
Lockman — There is some unique history to this site. We
should support finding safer solutions. I think the western
access works.
Moore — Every jurisdiction has its own requirements. You
should look at whether the headship is avoidable or
created by the applicant. There is almost nothing on the
record on the curb cut existing with no home there. There
is a hardship here, and the hardship was not created by
myself and my wife.
Perez — Survey was from 2014. Do you have a more
recent survey?
Moore - We have a boundary survey. We will have a new
survey for the DRB. We have not done any changes or
improvement to the property since we owned it.
Stockmar — My comments follow those of Kjesbo. You
bought into a difficult solution. The eastern access will be
one curb cut, and lots of pavement. The western entry, if
landscaped well, will allow you to pull out forward into the
street. Lean toward original proposal, access from the
west. It's not our job or authority to propose the solution.
Inclination is to have less parking backing out. I will give
credit to a second curb cut if we can cut down to four
parking spaces for Rush Condos.
Moore — The access from the west will allow us to move
the parking to the west, and reduce the need for
cantilevered parking or large retaining walls, which will
reduce the environmental impacts, too.
Kassmel — Described how safety can be improved by
limiting Rush Condos parking to only 4 parking spaces,
and ensuring that access from the west includes turning
movements that allow all cars to pull out forward from the
new curb cut.
Kjesbo — You should be able to define parking so that it is
only four parking spaces. We need to do something to
define these four spots. Is the Town installing curb and
gutter in this location?
Kassmel — No current plans for curb and gutter by the
town.
Moore — Described issues with the changes to the fire
hydrant.
Spence — Summarized the additional information
requested by the PEC to ensure that the correct
information is provided.
Gillette —Asked how much space must be provided on the
applicant's property, and how can the Town ensure that
additional parking spaces are not created in the future.
Kassmel — Described how large parking is required to be
9'x19' on property, plus 5 feet to the road. He described
how berms can be used to prevent additional parking.
Brian Gillette moved to table to June 25, 2018. Ludwig Kurz seconded the
motion and it passed (7-0).
3.6. A request for the review of an amendment to the approved Solar Vail
development plan, pursuant to Section 12-61-11, Development Plan Required,
Vail Town Code, for the construction of employee housing units (EHUs)
including changing the floor plan with the same unit count (65 units), changes
to gross residential floor area (GRFA), changes to the parking count and
layout, increasing building height, and architectural changes, located at 501
N. Frontage Road West / Lot 8, Block 2, Vail Potato Patch Filing 1, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0021) 20 min.
Applicant Sonnenalp Properties, represented by GPSL Architects
Planner: Chris Neubecker
1. Approval of this amended development plan is contingent upon the
applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of an associated Design
Review Board application.
2. The Applicant shall obtain an access agreement from the Town of
Vail, in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney, for any and all
driveway improvements on, over or across Town owned Tract A,
Middle Creek Subdivision and across Town owned Vail Potato Patch,
Block 2, Lot 8. Such agreements shall be executed prior to issuance
of a building permit.
3. Concurrent with the submission of a building permit application, the
applicant shall submit a site specific geological investigation, in
accordance with Section 12-21-13, Vail Town Code, for any proposed
development within a mapped Rockfall Hazard Area. The applicant
shall be responsible for any changes to the building permit plans
required by the professional geologist or registered professional
engineer who prepared the report.
4. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy for the building, the applicant shall legally
execute and record with the Eag(e County Clerk and Recorder the
Town of Vail Type VI employee housing unit covenant for all sixty-five
(65) residential units within the building.
5. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall exchange
eleven (11) existing deed restrictions on the property to other
locations in the Town, though the Employee Housing Unit Deed
Restriction Exchange Program, Section 12-13-5 Vail Town Code.
However, if the applicant obtains only one building permit for both the
demolition of the existing Solar Vail building and for construction of
the new development (as opposed to separate demolition permit and
building permit), then the timing for exchange of the eleven (11)
existing deed restrictions on the property may be delayed until
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the new Solar Vail
building.
Neubecker walked the Commission through the proposed
changes to the development plan since the previous
approval was granted. These changes include unit mix,
GRFA, site coverage, parking number and location,
building height, office space, roof plan and development to
the rear (north) of the structure.
Perez -Same number of units but a reduction in beds.
What is the change in bed count?
Neubecker -Perhaps a question best for Henry Pratt.
Stockmar-Location of mechanicals?
Neubecker spoke to the formal development plan and
parking management.
Henry Pratt, Architect - Spoke to the increase in
construction costs and steps made to reduce costs.
Discussed the tandem parking proposal and its reduction
in drive aisle, allowance for mechanicals and tenant
storage. The changes to the parking numbers as a result
of the loss of office use. Spoke to the parking
management plan and bed count.
Stockmar-Has the applicant looked at lease agreements
that will restrict autos?
Pratt - Preference will be given to potential tenants with no
cars.
Hopkins -Isn't the summer the parking issue at the
structure (overnight)?
Lockman -Asked about mechanicals
Neubecker-Spoke to the change in bed/bedroom counts.
Lockman -Recognized the challenges with cost and the
necessary changes.
Hopkins agrees with Lockman
Perez -Agrees. Supports the reduction in office space.
Kurz- Agrees. Feels that the tandem parking is an internal
issue. Feels the changes have made for a better project.
Kjesbo-Ok with it
Stockmar- Supports changes and eliminating 3 bedrooms.
Spoke to unit mix
Perez -Have you discussed the changes with the
neighbors?
Pratt - No. Changes not substantive.
Ludwig Kurz moved to approve with conditions. Rollie Kjesbo seconded the
motion and it passed (6-1).
Ayes: (6) Hopkins, Kjesbo, Kurz, Lockman, Perez, Stockmar
Nays: (1) Gillette
