Applicant: First Bank of Vail/Blanche C. Hill Planner: Jim Curnutte . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST. 0 The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by the Town of Vail Municipal Code. In adon to the conditional use criteria, staff has included criteria from the zoning col the Vail Comprehensive Plan, and the Vail Village Design Considerations, as we believe this help the PEC in its evaluation of the request. i The One Vail Place Building is located in the CCI zone district. According to Section 18.24.010 of the zoning code, the purpose of the CC[ district is: Banks and Financial Institutions on the "first floor" or "street level" shall be permitted in the CCI zone district subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with provisions of Chapter 18.60. For 'the PEC's reference, the Conditional Use Permit purpose statement indicates that : 9 B. VAIL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Several elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan indirectly address Banks and Financial Institutions . The relevant elements and sections are listed below - Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the town function more efficiently. 603 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peaked periods. 2. Vail Village Master Plan 0 On pedestrian oriented streets such as in the village, ground floor commercial facades are proportionately more transparent than upper floors. Upper floors are typically more residential, private and thus less open. As a measure of transparency, the most characteristic and successful ground floor facades range from 55% to 70% of the total length of the commercial facade. Upper floors are often the converse, 30% to 45% transparent. B. Windows In addition to the general degree of transparency, window details are an important source of pedestrian scale-giving elements. Upon review of Section 18.60 of the Municipal Code, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit request to allow for an automatic teller machine to be located at The One Vail Place Building, 244 Wall Street, a part of Block 5C, Vaii Village First Filing, based upon the following factors: As previously mentioned, staff is recommending approval of the proposed ATM, however, we feel it is important to relay to the PEC our concerns we Mcwi location. 0 4 Q ca application, staff believes that overall, the positive effects of providing an automatic teller machine in a convenient location outweigh the negative effects associated with the loss of a display window in this particular building. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. I The staff recommendation for this request is approval. Staff finds that the applicant's request complies with all of the above criteria and findings necessary for granting Conditional Use Permft approval in the CCI zone district, as well as the relevant elements of the Vail Commprehensive plan. Staff's recommendation for approval includes the following conditions: A reduced version of a "Streetscape Plan" trash container must be placed next to the ATM. 2. The staff will monitor the use of the * facility during next ski season and if congestion or trash are found to be a problem, the staff will "call up" this use for further evaluation, and possible permit revocation by the PEC.

Applicant* FirstBank of Vail/Blanche C. Hill Planner: Jim Curnutte bar/restaurant night location. Joe suggested setting down guidelines as to what constitutes too much congestion. Bob Armour agreed with Joe about setting guidelines regarding congestion. Joe didn't think more than 10 people at a time would be in line waiting for the ATM machine. Teak Simonett, the applicant's representative, said that the owner chose the location to attract more shoppers into that area. Kevin Deighan had no critical comments, but thought it important that DRB think it esthetically appealing. Bob Armour asked if there was any surface to write on while doing business at the ATM machine? Greg Moffet preferred a hopper style trash receptacle. Staff policing of the trash issue is more of a concern to him than the overcrowding. Teak Simonett said people drop trash on the ground, whether or not receptacles are present. She thought policing the area for trash should be enforced. She pointed out that her employees perform a "disney sweep" (clean up) around the buildings about 3 times a day. 40 Greg Amsden prefers the hopper-type trash receptacle. Dalton Williams doesn't think crowding will be a problem, but trash will be. Dalton suggested perhaps a fine would be the incentive to keep the area policed. Dalton also suggested that this be a call-up situation, should trash or congestion be a problem in the future. 1 ! � 1 1 1 EI RICH i i I I!

The staff will monitor the use of the facility during next ski season and if congestion or trash are found to be a problem, the staff will "call-up" this use for further evaluation, and possible permit revocation by the PEC. Dalton Williams seconded the motion. is All voted unanimously in favor, with a vote of 6-0. 2. A request for a major SDD amendment to allow for the expansion of the Glen Lyon Off ic,- Building located at 1000 South Frontage Road West/Area #4, SDD #4, Cascade Village. Applicant: . Glen Lyon Partners Planner: Randy Stouder TABLED INDEFINITELY Dalton Williams made a motion to table item number 2 and to discuss item number 3 on tFul agenda; the conditional use permit for the Daily Grind Coffee Company. Kevin Deighan suggested contacting the alcohol control board and threaten to have their alcohol license suspended, Jim Curnutte said George Ruther had addressed this issue with the Daily Grind and the Daily Grind was proceeding through the process to obtain the Conditional Use Permit. Jim also said staff informs people of their errors, but does give them time to get the error corrected. Bob Armour felt the Daily Grind was quite aware of the process, but was intentionally abusing the conditional use permit. Mike Mollica requested an update on where the Daily Grind was in their application process. George Ruther stated that they came back with an amended site plan, however, it was not submitted in time for this meeting. Greg Moffett said this was not the first time the issue has been tabled. Greg Amsdem made a motion to table item 3 one last time. It was seconded by Bob Armow� Byrne Conditional Use Dalton Williams thought the call-up by Council was a public embarrassment for the town, since Bob Armour talked to Andy Knudtsen and the Town Manager. Bob agrees the number one proposal is best. He doesn't like the idea of two grocery stores. He stated it was a fact if 15% of the grocery store's business is down, the store goes out of business. The Gart option �as too massive. Affordable housing was not likely . Bob preferred the redevelopment of the existing Safeway. He did not like further commercial space being developed on the north side. He 0 suggested the We Recycling center being housed there with easy access, perhaps with a"clam shell" style cover. Susan Connelly said they are looking at bus shelter type enclosures for the We Recycle. Dalton Williams requested going to the meeting. Bob Armour wanted to stop discussing this issue. He said it was brought up to give Susan Connelly some idea of what's going on. 6. Discussion with Susan Connelly. 11 5
