These "250's" were all for the purpose of extending existing second ©» to areas. These internal additions ranged from 35 square feet to 130 square feet in size and have added approximately 700 square feet of GRFA to the property. I I i I I I I I I !I F I I F 1 1 1 0 U11- has a parking requirement of two parking spaces, there is no increase in the total number of parking spaces required to accommodate the new use. Upon review of the Criteria and Findings found in Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested variances based on the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. request because the MDMF zone district currently does not allow restaurants and bars as an allowed use. The applicant is requesting to remove a nonconforming use of the property and, in its place, install a use that is compatible with the purpose statement, and is specifically listed as a permitted use, in the MIDMF zone district. . The # of the requested ri nee on light air, distribution of population, transportation n traffic facilities, public facilities n utilities, and public safety. Staff Response. Staff feels that granting the density and GRFA variances will not have a negative effect on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. If anything, staff believes that the transportation and traffic impacts associated with a single dwelling unit would be significantly less than the previous use as a bar /restaurant. According to the on -site property manager, as many as five to ten employees and twenty to thirty patrons could be present at the restaurant at any given time. The parking impacts associated with this use have caused problems over the years for residents of the Hornestake Condominiums. B. The Plannin and Environmental ornrrtission shall make the followirao findiht�s e €ore rantino 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. 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 to one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not ply 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, A ° I B e « 'My t ®m towY ®m.sow> n da �a,tow< ® 8e4tOwa AacCOas .. y).glp e)s94g .T � .e-Y 98 ^!'ig v8=9a' i $mltOwa @61 tOwY is ®r UNQT UNIT s UN1T UNIT T A210 A209 , A20S �a cow• aacOwa t° UNIT UoT A208 A207 ®_ _ ®® ®_ ®_ i ------ -- - --® .19 UNtT °h fia ae9 v re, ,e� A204 A203 +a =l +z ,➢ s U IT UNIT A202 A299 S a,C.t. 9vmi•mrev a•9 •• ° ° ®®. ®® s LS 59 ®bgmv w•9 ® ® — — _ — — aaaasD ®qn xCB S,:oow� ®. - ® °_-- — — — — — LB SECOND FLOOR RESTAUR ANY ISOa. lase'D <.0 H. t6S.

However, staff has developed many comments and issues and would like to pass them onto the PC to assist in their review: 7M • A. Architectural Issues Staff has reviewed the proposal with the Town's urban design consultant and has several concerns. In general, the staff believes that the proposal does not present an integrated building consistent with the context of Vail Village. 1. Roof Design Staff believes that the elevations are busy and applied because there is no depth to the roof. In other buildings in the Village, the roof functions as a unifying element. Staff believes that the applicant should: b. The deck should not extend over the entry to the building on Hanson Ranch Road. This makes the building's entry difficult to see. Staff believes the entry should be easily identifiable and have an importance to the building, similar to that of the recently approved Golden Peak House or the Red Lion. �Mc 11 r.,, - I E111 1#11 2, Site Grading HMMM�= R floodplain. 4.
