K Bill Anderson Greg Amsden Kristan Pritz Jeff Bowen Bob Armour Mike Mollica Kathy Langenwalter Andy Knudtsen Allison Lassoe Dalton Williams A request for a worksession for a conditional use permit to allow for an expansion to the administration building located at 1309 Vail Valley Drive/Unplatted parcel located north • the 1-70 Right-of-Way, north • Vail Village, 8th Filing. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg HaU Planner: Andy Knudtsen 1111 ffl�Mffl FIRM Iff I iiiii IF '11111I S 1� 11 Greg Hall explained that this area of asphalt could be removed, but that parking would be provided near the building. Greg also stated that the Fire Department is requiring a new sprinkler system in the new part of the building so the Fire Department turn around would not be necessary. Kathy Langenwalter stated that the PEC should review this project just like any other project that comes before the PEC. She said that there is too much asphalt with no purpose. Deliveries are acceptable but some asphalt needs to be removed. ROOM. Dalton Williams was very concerned about public safety during the winter because access to this building is very steep and icy. He suggested changing the driveway to z cidewalk. Planning and Environmental Commission 9 June 27, 1994 Allison Lassoe requested that a few parking spaces should be put in, that would be reserved for visitors and that Public Works get rid of excess asphalt and use a walkway instead of a large asphalt area. Susie Hervert stated that a lot of bus drivers use that area to access the building and in the winter it is easier to maintain this area using a small snow plow instead of doing the plowing by hand. Kathy seconded Dalton's idea, expressing that it is confusing to visitors as to where to park when at Public Works. FORMET-119M Dalton asserted that the PEC should hold the Town of Vail submittals to the standards held to all other projects presented to the PEC. Other businesses have delivery areas requiring people to walk to the businesses, M Kathy stated that adding more landscaping below and above the asphalt may help break up the appearance of all the asphalt in this area. Andy Knudtsen stated he would like to see the outdoor lighting changed to downlil fixtures. Kathy Langenwalter asked for a straw vote to see if the PEC wanted the asphalt to • eliminated all together. 101,11111 NORMAN, ---------- Bill, Kathy, and Jeff were comfortable with the driveway as long as excess asphalt is taken away on the west side and three visitor parking spaces are created at the bottom of the driveway on the east side. Planning and Environmental Commission June 27, 1994 2 2. A request for a setback variance for an addition to an existing residence located at 2692 Cortina Lane/Lot 10, Block B, Vail Ridge Subdivision. Applicant: Hans Weimann/Bob Redpath, represented by Jim Morter Planner: Mike Mollica Mike Mollica presented and summarized the staff memo. For the record, a site visit was done. Staff supports the request based on a physical hardship. Staff recommends approval of this request with two conditions as stated in the staff memo on page 4: Condition #1: That prior to the Town's issuance of a building permit for this project, the Town of Vail Fire and Public Works Departments review the final details on the construction and approve the request. Condition #2: That all the existing T-1 11 siding on the building be replaced wi'l "real wood" siding, subject to the Design Review Board review and approval. Jim Morter, project architect, explained that the retaining wall would be part of the house and would have the least visual impact in this location. He explained that he has met with the Fire Department and is addressing the issue of Fire Department access to the property. Bill Anderson stated he wanted to add one additional item to include as a condition of approval. He asked that the PEC require an "expert" engineer to look at the retaining walls on Lots 8, 9, and 10 along Cortina Lane to make sure the retaining walls are adequate and that all drawings by a structural engineer be stamped. Dalton wanted clarification of the Fire Department's requirement for stairs down from Cortina Lane to the house for Fire Department access. Jim Morter stated that since the house could not be accessed directly by the Fird Department, the stairs were required by the Fire Department. Kathy Langenwalter stated that the hardship is justified because of steepness and building location and as long as the conditions of approval including Bill Anderson's were met she was in agreement with the approval. Jeff Bowen made a motion to approve the proposal per the staff memo with the conditions set forth in the memo, plus the added condition that an engineering stuol be done on the adjacent retaining walls on Lots 8, 9 and 10 and in the access easement. Bill Anderson seconded the motion and a 5-0 vote approved this item. Planning and Environmental Commission 0 June 27, 1994 3 3. A request for a variance to locate GRFA below an allowed garage in the front setback and for a wall height variance, to allow for a primary residence with a Type I EHU, to be constructed at 1828 Alpine Drive/Lot 16, Vail Village West 1st Filing. Applicant: Peter and Susanne Apostol/Michael Sanner Planner: Mike Mollica fflike Mollica stated for the record that a site visit was done, Mike gave a brief summary of the PEC memo. Mike explained that the lot is very steep, 37% to 57% slopes and the average slope exceeds 30%. Since the average slope exceeds 30%, garages are allowed in the front setback without a variance. ITlike explained that a setback variance is requested to accommodate the design that is proposed which would provide a bridge over the area from the existing edge of asphalt (Sierra Trail) to the face of the garage. Mike stated that a wall height variance is also requested in order to construct the parking bridge. Staff recommends approval of the request, based on physical hardship, with the condition stated on page 5 of the memo. The condition is that the applicant add eight to ten evergreens to the proposed landscaping plan, with heights ranging from 6 to 12 feet. The final landscape plan shall need to be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Bo... •-!. Bill Anderson congratulated Mike Sanner on a design that addresses the slope problem with the least amount of impact to the site and stated he has no problems with this request. Bill stated that this is a good solution to a difficult site. mom= Kathy Langenwalter asked that the applicant add 8- 10 evergreens or equivalent, or as the Design Review Board approves. Jeff Bowen made motion to approve application with the condition to add 8-10 evergreens to the property or as the Design Review Board instructs. Bill Anders seconded the motion. The proposal was approved by a 5-0 vote. 4. A request for a conditional use permit to allow for a Type 11 Employee Housing Unit located at 4030 North Frontage Road East, #D/Lot 2B, Pitkin Creek Meadows townhomes. Applicant: Andrew M. Knudtsen Planner: Jim Curnutte Planning and Environmental Commission June 27, 1994 4 Mike Mollica stated recommendation of approval with the condition that a EHU restriction be placed on property prior to permit. Allison expressed she would like to see larger windows or have two windows added to the EHU unit. Jeff Bowen made a motion to approve this request with condition #1 stated under the staff recommendation on page 6, and that the document creating EHU be signed a'4 recorded with Eagle County. Bill Anderson seconded the motion and a 5-0 vote approved this item. Peter Koliopoulos made a presentation that addressed items of concern from the first meeting. When redesigning this project they were able to save the existing vegetation and the rock garden, reduce pavement for the Fire Department turnaround, rotate garage entrances, reduce asphalt and save vegetation. The applicant has met with Public Works and has added a bus turn-around and bus shelter to the project. Mike Mollica asked if Public Works had any concerns with landscaping in the middle of the bus turnaround bus arez. Peter Koliopoulos stated there was not a concern, and that adding landscaping would beautify this area. Andy Knudtsen stated that the EHU units and would require one parking space for each unit and the zoning code does not allow tandem spaces that would block the primary unit. Planning and Environmental Commission 0 June 27, 1994 5 Kathy Langenwalter stated that the applicant still has not proven that this issue is one of hardship. The PEC had a discussion on what constitutes a hardship,(i.e. slope steepness, and the criteria that the PEC reviews to base their decision. Bruce Chapman, a representative for Capstone Condominiums, expressed a concern that the buildings were too close to Capstone Condominiums. Some units were designed looking down into Capstone Condominiums and privacy should be increased. Ken Sortland, a homeowner, was concerned about the impacts to his home at Vail Point Condominiums. He wanted to keep setbacks as is and not have any buildings ir, the setbacks. Ken felt the building towers were too tall, were too boxy in appearance and were a problem. Ken was not at the first meeting (he was out of town) and mixture of different types of vegetation. Peter Koliopoulos clarified what and why changes were made from first meeting to today's meeting. Ken Sortland again discussed why he didn't want buildings in setbacks. In the landscaping plan he saw a lot of aspens but not a lot of pines and would like to see a more natural look. '8Tr7A71M=Fl1 ex�Ffessea I I I I I see cnarlig-UVIT7 r Te-TWuaff M11 of a few buildings. Mike Mollica expressed that the only change he saw was that the northeast building has been shifted. Kathy Lan•enwalter stated that the issue and concern is the fact that the PEC does not see the criteria for hardship. She continued that the reality was that the design of the buildings was making the hardship and not the external landscaping. M WO In Planning and Environmental Commission 0 June 27, 1994 6 Peter Koliopoulos responded the he was addressing the issue of creating a larger buffer from other developments in area. Kathy Langenwalter stated that the infringement on the north front setback is an issue. 1111 Ml I i fI Jeff Bowen said that a smaller, less vertical, less massive project needs to be on this site. This project is too big, has too much mass, does not fit the architecture in Vail and where the buildings are located, does not work. Jeff felt a lot of work needs to be R! ne to have this project fit the site. Allison Lassoe said that the project needs to work more with site, that buildings were too vertical, and needed to step back from neighbors • the south side. Dalton expressed that he was in 100% agreement with Jeff Bowen's statement. He explained that he felt the project is too big, too vertical, doesn't fit on site, and that the applicant is trying to fit too much on the site. He stated that the buildings need to stay out of the 20 foot setback. The applicant needs to rework the project and cut down on the mass and have a better solution to the vertical problem. Andy Knucltsen explained that the reason the applicant came back before the PEC was so that the amendment to this project is appropriate and for approval. # M1 1111DAYWHIMM-1 # 4�L Egg $I Planning and Environmental Commission June 27, 1994 7 Peter Koliopoulos was directed by the PEC to come back to another meeting with a better solution to the site issues other than to have buildings in the setbacks. 6.

I 8. Approve minutes from June 13, 1994 PEC meeting. Jeff Bowen made a motion to approve the minutes from the June 13, 1994 PEC meeting with Bill Anderson seconding the motion. A 5-0 vote approved the minutes from the June 13, 1994 PEC meeting. 9. Jeff Bowen gave a presentation on a wetlands conference he recently attended. Jeff stated that both the science and law of wetlands are extremely broad. There are three key words relating to wetlands; hydrophilic vegetation, hydrant soils, and hydrology. Riparian areas are not specifically covered as wetlands, nor are banks of a stream necessarily covered as wetlands. Laws relating to wetlands are considerable. The Clean Water Act (404 permit) is implemented by the Corp of Engineers and can be overridden by EPA. The Coloral Health Department is interested in the type of pollution a development might create with wetlands. Crested Butte and Telluride have implemented a process regarding wetlands. If one half of a property is in a wetlands you can transfer development rights from this property to another property through a conservation easement. Planning and Environmental Commission June 27, 1994 8 Jeff it said if any of the agencies say it is a wetlands, it's a wetland. The Army Corp of Engineers is too lenient in regards to wetlands. Jeff stated that wetlands are an important part of conservation. He strongly urges Vail to mitigate wetlands. Dalton asked about the other communities solutions , especially the solution of transferring development rights from one site to another. What happens if someone buys land that could never be built on but buys it anyway and tries to transfer the development rights to another site? Kristan Pritz said that another issue is the creek setback which should probably be increased to better protect the Town's riparian areas. 10. Kristan gave a brief presentation on Town Council update. ��O�M-ITWMMM13=1, Planning and Environmental Commission June 27, 1994 9 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission of 1 -0. - SUBJECT: A request for front and side setback variances for an addition to ano existing residence located at 2692 Cortina Lane/Lot 10, Block B, Ridge Subdivision. I Applicant: Hans Weimann/Bob Redpath Planner: Mike Mollica I I As previously stated, there is a significant difference in elevation between the location of the existing residence and Cortina Lane above. Historically, the Town of Vail Public Works Department has expressed safety concerns regarding the hillside beneath Cortina Lane. In September of 1992, the Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously approved a wall height variance for this property in order for the applicant to construct two 6-foot tall retaining walls located in the front setback, to assist in the stabilization of this slope and Cortina Lane. The Public Works Department has stated "that stabilization • the slope is critical to ensure that the roadway is not undermined, which would cause it to collapse." The Town • Vail was a co -applicant in the 1992 variance application, and additionally, the Town • Vail shared approximately • 0% • the cost to install the walls. The walls have been constructed and are currently in place. To provide further stability to the steep slope and to Cortina Lane, the applicant's north concrete wall for the garage (approximately 8 to 12 feet in height) will also function as a retaining wall for Cortina Lane. A. Zone District: Primary/Secondary Residential B. Lot Area: 15,178 square feet C. Density: one single family dwelling D. GRFA: Allowable: 4,617.8 square feet Existing: 2,340.0 square feet Proposed: 3,235.0 square feet Remaining: 1,382.8 square feet E. Site Coverage: Allowable: 3,035.6 square feet Existing: 1,280.0 square feet Proposed: 1,891.0 square feet Remaining: 1,144.6 square feet F. Parking: one additional garage space will be provided, however, the parking requirement is not increased as a result of this addition. 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. The staff believes that the applicant's proposed front and side setback variance requests will have minimal, if any, negative impacts on existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. We find that the proposed location for the addition is one which will have the least impacts on any adjacent properties. The slopes to the north and to the south of the existing structure are very steep, however, there is a small bench located immediately north of the existing garage. This is the area where the applicant is proposing to construct the new 9 2 addition. The applicant is proposing to match the existing architectural detailin*, of the existing building and the staff believes that this addition would not be very visible from the public right-of-way or from any adjacent properties. The staff does believe that this property is encumbered with a physical hardship, due to the steep slopes on this site and the fact that access to the property cannot be taken directly from Cortina Lane. Three existing aspen trees will need to be removed as a result of this construction. Staff has reviewed the site and because the property is heavily vegetated, the staff does not believe that additional landscaping is necessary. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special 9. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the followinci finclincls before granting a variance: 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. 0 3 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 • more of the following reasons: 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 • privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. 2. That all the existing T-1 11 siding on the building be replaced with "real wood" siding, subject to Design Review Board review and approval. 9 4 n �N4�OO f 40:52 00 "kl _EXISTING LOT 10 COP T11VA LANE (50 137.04' 5z 00, ® N 115.40 N40 52'00'E 9906-0 24.5' __% Nl S40:52 00 "W ,20.70' 46.7' N OLD EASE, LOT 9 Li C) 5,188.

Applicant: Peter and Susanne Apostol/Michael Sanner Planner: Mike Mollica Although the property address is taken from Alpine Drive, the lot does have frontage on both Alpine Drive and Sierra Trail. The applicant is proposing to take access from the downhill side of Sierra Trail. This property contains quite a few mature aspen trees as well as approximately three to four evergreens. -1751 MX%111111ij The applicant is requesting a front setback variance in order to locate approximately 67 square feet of GRFA beneath a portion of the garage which encroaches into the front setback. The GRFA would be located on both the lower and main levels of the structure. This portion of the building would encroach approximately 4 feet into the required 20-foot front setback, therefore a 4-foot front setback variance is requested. • • 0 1311 ii R I I I i i I i I i I ii ;Ili i I I l!i I ii i I I! i I I ii I!!

Applicant: Andy M. Knudtsli Planner: Jim Curnutte 0 In September and December • 1992, the Town Council passed Ordinances 9 and 27, Seri of 1992, to create a new Chapter 18.57 - Employee Housing, for the addition of Employee Housing Units (EHUs) as permitted or conditional uses within certain zone districts within thil Town • Vail. The definition in that ordinance states: The employee unit will be 321 square feet in size and will satisfy one of the three off-site employee housing units required to be provided in conjunction with the Cornice Building SDD redevelopment. E Site Coverage 4,330 sq. ft. 1,659 sq. ft./no change Landscaping 12,990 sq. ft. 17,650 sq. ft./no change Parking 3 3/no change MMMIM Front 20' 33'/no change Side 15' 30'/no change Side 15' 80'/no change Rear 15' 50'/no change A. Consideration of Factors: Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the • 2 2. The effect of the use on li_qht and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. It is likely that there would be one additional vehicle driving to the residence. Staff feels that this would be an insignificant impact on th%-, 2.bove-referenced criteria. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. ii The scale and bulk of the existing structure is very similar to those in existence in the surrounding neighborhood. Since the proposed employee housing unit will be located within the building, in an area that already counts as GRFA, it will not have an effect on the scale and bulk of the building. 5. Employee Housing Units may be allowed as a conditional use in those zone districts as specified by Title 18 of the Vail Municipal Code for Ordinance No. 27, Series of 1992, Employee Housing and shall be subiect to the following conditions: a. It shall be a conditional use in the SinQle-Family Residential, Two-Family Residential and Primary/Secondary Residential zone The minimum lot size for a Type 11 EHU in the Two-Family Residential zone district is 15,000 square feet of buildable site area. The applicant's 21,649 square foot lot has 15,000 square feet of buildable site area. 01 Ism "M 9 3 attached to, an existing garage provided the garage is not located within any setback, and further provided that no exis�ng parking required by the Town of Vail Municipal Code is reduced or eliminated. The proposed Type 11 EHU will be located within the southern- most duplex unit on the site. The EHU is 321 square feet in size.
