Applicant: Bill Sargent
Planner: Russ Forrest
Russ Forrest made a presentation per the staff memo. He stated that staff was
recommending the removal of Units 35 through 54 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes
be removed from the hazard area.
rathy Langenwalter stated that the PEC had discussed this item during project —
orientation and site visits and that the PEC supported the staff recommendation tit
remove Units 35 through 54 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes.
Jeff Bowen made a motion to approve this request for an amendment to the Hazard
Plan per the staff memo with the exception of Unit 55 and make a recommendation to
the Town Council to approve the requested amendment.

Dalton Williams seconded the motion. The PEC voted 7-0 to make a recommenclati
to Town Council to approve the requested amendment to the Hazard Plan. I
3. A request for a worksession for a front setback and wall height variances to allow for
additions to an existing Primary/Secondary residence located at 226 Forest Road/Lot
11 A Block 7, Vail Village 1 st Filing.
Kristan Pritz requested that Steve show the PEC the west elevation so that they could
see what was proposed to happen with the garage.
Bill Anderson asked what would happen if the stair tower was moved back 4 feet in
order to get it out • the setback.
Steve Riden responded that this would affect the interior of the house more than the
exterior. He stated that the house was essentially divided into four sections for
circulation reasons.
Bob Armour stated that he agreed with Bill's comments. He added that he also hai
problems with the carport.
Greg Ams•en stated that he did not have concerns with the GRFA in the front setback
or the proposed retaining walls. He did not feel that he could not find a hardship •
the site
• allow for the carport.
Planning and Environmental Commission
is May 23, 1994 2
Jeff Bowen agreed with the comments of the other PEC members regarding the
carport issue and felt the tower should be out of the setback.
Allison Lassoe stated that she did not have a problem with the location of the stair 0
tower, retaining walls, or GRFA in the setback. But, she could not find a hardship IN*1
allow the carport in the setback. I
Dalton Williams stated that he liked the idea of the carport but could not find a
hardship on this site. He stated that he did not have a problem with the location of the
stair tower.
Jeff Bowen stated that he would like to see the stair tower pulled back out of the frol-ONO
setback.
Kristan Pritz summarized that the PEC would like to see the mass of the structure
pulled back off of the front of the site.
Kathy Lan•enwalter stated that the PEC was open to the idea of a variance for
retaining walls on the side of the garage as necessary.
4. A request for amendments to Section 18.57, Employee Housing, to set forth
requirements for renting Employee Housing Units and setting forth details in regard
thereto.
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Andy Knucltsen
Andy Knucltsen made a presentation per the staff memo. He went over the four
proposed changes to Section 18.57, Employee Housing, with the PEC. With these
four changes, Andy stated that staff was recommending approval of the proposed
amendments.
Jeff Bowen suggested the addition of the word "however" at the bottom of the
beginning of the last sentence in Paragraph M.
Jeff Bowen stated that the Town needed to take measures to ensure that the
employee housing units were being rented to locals.
Kristan Pritz stated that the purpose • the amendments to this section was to make
employee housing units available to employees. She added that the Housing Authority
has always had the authority to cite an owner • an EHU who was flagrantly violating
the ordinance (item M, Page 3 of staff memo). She stated that Item L, Page 3 of the
staff memo was written to establish a standard market rate for EHU's in Vail.
Planning and Environmental Commission
0 May 23, 1994 3
Dalton TTilliams inquired whether it would help to specify a time period to which t
EHU's should be rented each year and whether it would help the Town determinel
compliance with the ordinance.
Jay Peterson stated that this ordinance poses a lot of complications for potential
buyers and that these people may determine that it is not worth the hassle. He added
that he did not feel that the problem that the employee housing ordinance addressed
existed in Vail.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that they were trying to ensure that the employee housing
units that were built for employees are being used for this purpose.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that this ordinance refers to restricted units and that it
would have no effect on the type of employee housing that Galen himself has and
provides to the community.
Galen stated that he realized this but he still felt that the proposed amendments to this
ordinance were too much regulation.
Jay Peterson stated that the people he had spoken to do not object to the reporting so
much as that there will be a perception that the unit will have to be rented.
Dalton Ifilliams stated that he had some changes to the wording including eliminating
the word "location" from Paragraph L. He stated that he would like to see this item
tabled since the problem that the proposed amendments address, are not visible in the
Town at this time.
Andy rnudtsen stated that staff wanted to be proactive and get these changes on thd
books now so that they do not have problems down the road.
0 * Z
Allison Lassoe stated that she agreed with staff's proposed amendments to the
employee housing ordinance. She stated that this ordinance was not devised to hel�,
the developers here in town, but rather to help employees who work in Vail.
Planning and Environmental Commission
0 May 23, 1994 4
Jeff Bowen felt that the units should be rented during a substantial portion of the year
Am and that this period needed to be defined.

Kathy Langenwalter stated that there seemed to be a consensus of the PEC that the
word "may" should be changed to "shall" in Item C and that a rental rate was positive.
She suggested that paragraph M be removed from the ordinance.
Kristan Pritz asked the PEC what a minimum time period for rental of the employee
housing unit should be per year.
The PEC agreed that six months during the ski season was acceptable. Later in the
discussion, the PEC decided not to include this provision.
Kristan Pritz stated that staff would work with Tom Moorhead on the wording for Item L
,.nd M.
Greg Amsden asked Tom Moorhead what the market rate referred to and whether this
was considered to be affordable employee housing.
Planning and Environmental Commission
0 May 28, 1994 5
Tom responded that an individual will be considered out of compliance if they do not
rent the EHU or rent it above market rate.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that this item could be tabled while staff worked on the
changes.
Kristan Pritz stated that they would bring this item before the PEC again at the firi
-,-neeting in June. She summarized these changes to include: M
-Paragraph C: Change "may" to "shall".
-Paragraph E: Add "rented throughout the year".
-Paragraph L: If not renting or unit is being offered at a rate above the
market rental rate, then there is non-compliance.
-Paragraph M: Remove this paragraph.
5. A request for an amendment to Section 18.69.050 to clarify how slope is to be
measured and to allow for 6 foot walls to be constructed in the front setback for
projects where the average slope of the site beneath the proposed structure and
parking area is in excess of 30% slope.

Planning and Environmental Commission
9 May 23, 9994 6
Kathy Langenwalter stated that the smartest thing the Town could do was locate
parking spaces underneath the fields at Ford Park. She added that she had concerns
about the proposed increase in the fee.
Greg Amsden stated that Upper Eagle Valley recently completed a master plan thal
addressed projected future demand, cost for providing service, and rate increases 11
the clear cut analysis.
Bill Anderson stated that sooner or later people are not going to be able to afford
remodel jobs.
Dalton Williams stated that there is some minimum infrastructure provided • the Town
as a result
• the property taxes community members pay. He felt that it was not fair
• increase the parking fee and questioned whether it was really right to have a parking
fee at all. He felt a solution to this issue would be to leave the parking fee where it
currently is.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that she agreed with Dalton's comments and that it was
important to consider that remodels provide expansion which is a benefit to the Town.
She added that our community was solvent and that this was another way to gouge
the local.
Kristan Pritz stated that this was interesting and wondered whether the PEC could
recommend denial. She said that she would need to ask Tom Moorhead how to
proceed with this situation.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that the price of $8,594.40 seemed appropriate.
Tom Moorhead had told Kristan to have the PEC make its motion whether in support
• opposition, in the affirmative.
Jeff Bowen made a motion to recommend to the Town Council that the parking pay-in-
lieu fee remain at its current rate with Dalton Williams seconding the motion.
vote approved this recommendation.
-The existing price works well.
-increase in price discourages upgrades.
-An increase occurred recently.
-PEC did not agree with Mike Rose's cost analysis.

Mr. Arthur Mears did prepare a site specific study for the Vail Golfcourse Townhomes that
evaluated the risk of snow avalanche, rockfall, and debris avalanche hazards. This study
concludes that units 1-55 are "outside the influence" of avalanche, debris flow, and rockfall
hazard and require no mitigation (see pages 4-7 in the Mears report). Units 55 through 76
were found to be under the influence of a hazard.
The Town engineer reviewed this report and had several questions regarding the calculationsm
used in the report. Arthur Mears responded to the Town Engineers questions satisfactorily
the attached letter (Attachment 5). Based on the technical analysis
• the Arthur Mears stud
the Vail Golfcourse Townhome are requesting that units 1-55 be excluded from debris flow,
avalanche, and rockfall areas on the Town of Vail's corresponding maps. i

As requested by Mr. William Sargent, this study has the following objectives:
a. Analysis of snow avalanche, debris avalanche, and rockfall potential at t
Golfcourse Townhomes; I
b. Classification of the exposure of each of the 76 units to the above processes,
aid
The
to also has the following limitations which must be understood by all those using
the results:
a.
• attempt is made to evaluate the site-specific parameters required to providf;
structural mitigation to each exposed unit; and

For land-use planning and engineering purposes the "design-magnitude" or I 00-year"
return period avalanche has been evaluated. The 100-year avalanche has a constant
annual probability of 1 %, a probability that is assumed to not change after the avalanche
occurs. However, when numerous aspen trees are removed by an avalanche (as with
0 1
the 1993 avalanche), the Brobab of fut
anchors are removed.
Because the design—magnitude avalanche has not been observed at this location, the
dynamics and impact characteristics have been evaluated by the following indirect
procedures:
a. The avalanche runout distance, or potential stopping position during extreme
conditions was determined through terrain analysis, experience with extreme
events in the local area, and prediction using a data base of extreme avalanche
runout events in Colorado;
b. The avalanche flow thickness, impact pressure, and velocity were determined
through application of an avalanche dynamics model, given a starting position at
the 8,800 foot level and a stopping Position determined in step "a."
Avalanche runout zones in the vicinity of the Golfcourse Townhomes are mapped
Figure 1. This mapping subdivides the avalanche runout zones into "high hazard" (Rel
and "moderate hazard" (Blue) zones which are defined below,
a. HIGH HAZARD (RED). Area affected by avalanches with return-periods of 25
years or less or avalanches that can produce impact pressures of 600 lbs/ft2 or
more. New construction is generally not permitted in Red zones; existing
structures should be reinforced or otherwise protected.
b. MODERATE HAZARD (BLUE). Area affected by avalanches with return
periods of 25 — 100 years and avalanches producing impact pressures of less than
•00 IbS/ft2 . New structures are permitted in Blue zones provided structural
protection is incorporated in design.
Debris avalanches occur on the same terrain affected by the snow avalanches discuss
in Section 2.1 . Major debris avalanches, however, will entrain a larger percentage of so
rock, and trees but will move more slowly than snow avalanches. While snow avalanch
may occur at any time during the snow season, debris avalanches are primarily a lall
2
winter and particularly a spring phenomena. They are most likely when the snowpack
has become completely saturated with water, a condition most likely during the months
of April and May (but possible during March or even June).
Debris avalanches have not been analyzed separately from snow avalanches on the
10 slopes above the Townhomes because (a) both will possess similar destructive energy,
and (b) both will require similar mitigation.
a. gh" (avalanche) or "Sever6" (rockfall)
b. "Moderate" (avalanche) or "Moderate" (rockfall)
c. "None" (avalanche or rockfall).
All units classified as "None" are considered to be outside of the influence of avalanche
or rockfall hazard and require no mitigation. Units classified as "Moderate" will require
mitigation, however mitigation requirements will usually be limited to a small portion of
building surfaces or loads may be easily accommodated. Units classified as "High" or
"Severe" may require extensive structural mitigation.
Mitigation concepts are discussed in Section 4 of this report.

Mitigation, or structural
protection possibilities for the 21 units exposed to avalanche
(snow or debris) and rockfall hazards ranges from "minor" to "extensive"
as indicated in
Table 2. When mitigation requirements are "minor"
they may consist simply of reinforced
window or door covers
or possibly bracing
certain exterior walls.
To be effective,
mitigation of certain units require may require extensive reinforcement to protect from
avalanche or rockfall forces.

Details of mitigation and mitigation design specifications are beyond the scope of thl
study, as discussed with Mr. William Sargent. Such details can be provided for any
the units
• considering the following factors:
Alternately, each unit could be protected individually. Design parameters (listed above),
would have to be derived for each unit.
Snow or debris avalanches will require protection at each unit. Building a wall or berm
at the uphill side of the property would not be effective against avalanches because the
uphill side of such structures tend to fill in with deposited snow or avalanche debris.

The following provides technical data derived for this study that defines avalanche and
rockfall defense design parameters that were used in defining the hazard boundaries and
in classifying the relative hazard potential at eac h site.

In this letter I am trying to answer the three questions you had about avalanche mapping at the
Golfcourse Townhomes.
1) Dynamic pressure is averaged over the three periods of maximum flow thickness. This averages
variations ("noise") inherent in the use of the stochastic avalanche dynamics model I used and provides
a larger pressure than that computed with the standard Swiss avalanche dynamics model.
2) Total pressure is computed by adding dynamic + static pressure in the flowing snow. In the
"Lower portion" for example, the total pressure P is computed
approximately the Red/Blue boundary. Note that the second term, which assumes "hydrostatic"
pressure is a conservative overestimation because snow shear strength is Dot included.
3) Red/Blue boundaries were determined from a combination of calculations similar to those above
and on the basis of observations I made while on the ground and through interpretation of aerial
photographs. I also used my own judgment and experience to consider the effect of terrain in
modifying the hazard lines. Flatter terrain will shorten the runout distance.
The avalanche mapping should be considerably more accurate than the original map in which the
buildings were not in place. In particular, the new mapping shows bow buildings shield other building
surfaces from impact. You should be aware, however, that design pressures used in mitigation will
always differ from those used to define Red /Blue boundaries.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
C�V�,J- VReaO

The applicant also proposes to locate a stair tower partially within the front setback. The stair
tower encroaches 4 feet into the setback, and therefore results in a variance request to
allow the stair tower to be located within 16 feet of the property line.
The applicant is also requesting a front setback variance to allow for the location of a buried
carport in the front setback. Due to the fact that the carport is built into the hillside, the
applicant needs to place retaining walls along the side of driveway as it approaches the
carport entrance. These retaining walls would exceed the 3 foot maximum height limitation in
the front setback. The proposed walls are 6 to 7 feet high and are located in the front setback
as well as on Town right-of-way. The carport encroaches to within 1.5 feet of the property
line. Thus, the applicant is requesting a front setback variance of 18.5 feet for the
carport, which results in a 1.5 foot setback.
11
The applicant is also proposing to place boulders along the hillside adjacent to Forest Road in
order to prevent further erosion in this area. These boulders would be located in the public
right-of-way and would require a revocable right-of-way permit to be issued by the Department
of Public Works.
III. BACKGROUND
The applicant is currently proposing to infill the carport as in the previous request and is also
proposing to add a stair tower to the west end of the house, half of which would also be
located in the front setback and is also considered GRFA. Thus, the staff felt that this
application, involving additional GRFA in the front setback not previously approved, requires
reconsideration of the front setback variance by the PEC.
Concerns raised at the review of the previous variance request involved impacts to existing
vegetation. A large aspen and two large spruce trees were of particular concern. Relocation
of vegetation as feasible was required in the previous variance along with mitigation for the
loss of the large trees.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
1. it M 0- - st
1 The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses
and structures in the vicinity.
The requested infill of the carport area will not result in further setback encroachment.
Infilling the carport area is preferred to additional site disturbance elsewhere on the
property. The degree of relief from the strict literal interpretation of the code sought by
the applicant, has been granted to other property owners with similar circumstances in the
neighborhood. Because of this fact, staff does not feel that approving the requested
variance would be a 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.
The requested variance will not have an impact on light, air, distribution of population,
transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and public safety. Due to the house's
current location in the front setback, and the location of the additional GRFA being
requested, staff believes the variance requests will have little to no impact on surrounding
properties. The location of the carport in the front setback will actually improve safety and
access to the site. The location of retaining walls partially in the front setback and
3
partially in the right-of-way, are necessary to access the buried garaae. These walls will
not provide any problem with site distances according to the Town Engineer. 0
B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before
granting a variance:
1116141MRIM11 IMMI
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.
- of-
2. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zone.
C. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same district. 0
A. Approximately half of the proposed stair tower is located in the front setback. This
additional GRFA was not a part of the previous variance request granted by the PEC.
Should this stair tower be contained within the footprint of the existing building? Is there
a hardship related to this proposed GRFA in the front setback?
B. Does the proposed improvement to the parking and driveway situation warrant the
encroachment of the carport into the front setback? Could the improvements be
accomplished and adequate off-street parking be provided without the carport?

Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code,
the Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested
variance based on the following factors:
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 and literal interpretation
ied regulation is necessary to achieve
and enforcement of a specifi
compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the
vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of
special privilege.
owners with similar circumstances. Because of these factors, the request is not
a 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.
With the exception of the addition requiring the transplanting of an existing,
approximately 18-20 foot evergreen, the proposed addition will have no impact
on any of these considerations. The applicant has agreed to transplant this tree
• the southwest comer of the site.
FIV. The Planning and- Environmental Commission shall make the followin
findings before zrantinz-a variance-
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified
in the same district.
2. That the granting • the variance will not be detrimental to the publii
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.

L�I 3. That the variance is warranted for one • more of the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specifieiL
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone.
C. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by
the owners of other properties in the same district.
Staff recommends approval of the requested front setback variance, subject to conditions, due
to the fact the existing house is currently located in the front setback and less site disturbance
results from this location for the proposed addition. The fact there is GRFA remaining on the
