Applicant: Neil Sirotkin, represented by David Irwin - Planner: George Ruther 1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST In 1985, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance #4, Series of 1985 which created Chapter 18.71 of the Vail Municipal Code, entitled "Additional Gross Residential Floor Area." This chapter allows for up to 250 square feet of additional gross residential floor area (GRFA) to be added to a dwelling (beyond the maximum allowance), provided certain criteria are met. The purpose of the additional GRFA ordinance is to provide an inducement for the upgrading of existing dwelling units, which have been existence for a period of at least 5 years, by permitting up to two hundred . and fifty (250) square feet of GRFA to be added to a dwelling unit. In August 1995, the Town Council approved Ordinance 6, Series of 1995 which amended Chapter 18.71, for the purpose of eliminating the ability to use the additional GRFA when a dwelling unit is "demo/rebuilt." This Ordinance also requires that all requests for additional GRFA, that involve exterior changes to a building, be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission. With this proposal, the applicant is requesting to add 226 sq. ft. of GRFA to the south unit of the . duplex at 1415 Westhaven Drive. The proposal utilizes the 250 GRFA allowance to construct a .new home office adjacent to the master suite, on the second floor of the existing structure. The new space created beneath the proposed office will be an exterior carport. The carport has been designed so that the exterior walls of the carport are more than 25% open, and therefore the area is not calculated as GRFA. The area however, is calculated as additional site coverage on the property. The remaining 24 sq. ft. of the 250 sq. ft. allowance not being utilized with this proposal, will remain available for future development. Reductions of the proposed building . elevations have been attached for reference. 11. ZONING ANALYSIS Legal Description: Lot 52, Glen Lyon Subdivision Address: 1415 Westhaven Drive, Unit A Lot Size: 21,026 sq. ft. / 0.483 acre ~ Zoning: Special Development District No. 4 with underlying zoning of Primary/Secondary Residential f:\everyone\pecMemos\,sirotkin.325 1 0 ~ i Use: Primary/Secondary Residences Allowed Existin Proposed , GRFA": 3,036 sq. ft. 3,028 sq. ft. 3,254 sq. ft. Site Coverage: 5,256 sq. ft. 4,186 sq. ft. 4, 555 sq. ft. Roguired ist' Proposed Parking: 3 spaces 2 enclosed spaces no change 1 surface space • The GRFA total reflscts the maximum GRFA allowed for the primary unit based upon the Zoning Code and the existing strucwre. ' ill. CRlTERIA AND FINDINGS Upon review of Chapter 18.71, Additional GRFA, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the request for additional GRFA based upon the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: Before acting on an application for additional GRFA, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Effect upon the existina toooyrachy, moetation draina9e and existina structures. ~ Upon review of the proposed site plan, staff feels the 250 Additional GRFA request will have minimal impacts on the existing topography, vegetation or drainage. The surface area of the existing driveway will be increased by approximately 625 square feet to accommodate an approach into the new carport space. The increase in additional driveway area does not negatively impact the landscaping requirement for the property. The removal of existing vegetation will be minimai. An area of natural . grasses will be affected. The affected area is approximately 975 square feet in size. No trees will be removed as a result of the addition. The applicant has proposed to add three, 5'-7' tall spruce trees and six, 2" caliper aspen trees to the property. _ The proposed addition will have no negative impacts on the existing structure. The applicant has proposed to use building materials which match the existing materials of the residence. This includes stucco, stone base, wood trim and cedar shake shingles. Staff feels the proposed addition will match the architecture of the existing residence, and , therefore, will not appear as a"tacked on" addition. 2. Impact on ad.acent12ro e~rties. The addition does not encroach upon any required setbacks. The height • of the addition is substantially lower than the height of the existing residence. The architecture and building materials of the addition are ' f:teveryone\pecUnemoslsirotkin.325 2 proposed to match the existing structure. In staff's opinion, the addition will not have any negative impacts orr adjacent properties. 3. Compliance with the Town's zoning reauirements and aonlicable development standards. 5ection 18.71.020 (F) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, requires that any single family dwelling or dwelling unit for which an addition is proposed sha!l be required to meet the minimum Town of Vail landscaping standards as set forth in Chapter 18.54 of the Vail Municipal Code. Additionally, before any additional GRFA may be permitted in accordance with Chapter 18.71, the staff shall review the maintenance and upkeep of the existing single family or two family dwelling and site, including landscaping, to determine whether they comply with the Design Review Guidelines. These standards include landscaping, undergrounding of utilities, driveway paving and general maintenance of the property. The driveway is already paved and the new portion of the driveway required to access the carport is proposed to be paved. Utilities servicing the property are currently underground and the landscaping on the property complies with the Design Review requirements. The applicant is proposing to add three, 6-7' tall spruce trees and six, 2" caliper aspen trees to the property. In staff's opinion, the general maintenance and upkeep of the property is ~ • excellent. B. Findinas: The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting approval for Additional GRFA: 1. That the granting of the requested Additional GRFA would not negatively affect existing topography, vegetation, drainage and existing structures. 2. That the granting of the requested Additional GRFA would not negatively impact adjacent properties. ' 3. That the granting of the requested Additional GRFA would comply with all Town zoning requirements and applicable development standards. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION • The Community Development Department staff recommends approval of this application for 226 square feet of additional GRFA. Staff believes that the review criteria have been met as discussed in the memo. Regarding the findings, staff believes that finding B1 is met, as the proposed addition will not negatively impact the existing site; Finding B2 is met, as the proposed addition will not negatively impact adjacent properties; Finding 63 is met, as the proposed addition will comply with all zoning requirements and applicable development standards. • Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to grant an approval of this request, staff would recommend that the approval carry with it the following conditions: f:\everyone\pecMemos\sirotkin.325 3 . 1.

CU-96-01 Applicant: Lance Lucey Planner: Dominic Mauriello - 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the expansion of the Hubcap Brewery. The Hubcap was granted a Conditional Use Permit on October 22, 1990 to allow for a Brew Pub which sells beer or ale at wholesale or sells beer or ale for off-site consumption. The conditions of approval were: ~ 1. The applicant shall provide a delivery service for any wholesale customers and shaN not allow wholesale customers to pick up the product at the site. 2. The applicant shall not make deliveries more than once a week to wholesale cus#omers. 3. The applicant shall conduct all deliveries via the existing loading dock. 4. The applicant shall not use any vehicle larger than a pick-up truck to make deliveries. . The applicant wants to expand this operation into existing retail spaces within the Crossroads Plaza currently occupied by Denim and Silk and This Wicked West. The request will expand the restaurant seating area by 35 interior seats for a total of 176 seats and will expand the area used for brewing by 87 sq.ft. The bar area, kitchen, and bathrooms will also be expanded. The bathrooms will be _upgraded to meet ADA requirements. Rekord doors will be installed which wi{I form a glass wall that can be opened along the south and east frontages. The request also includes the provision of outdoor seating located in the existing grass area located south of the • Denim and Silk space. The outdoor dining area will contain 9 white metal mesh tabies and 36 seats. No umbrellas are proposed as part of this request. The area will be improved with pavers and new landscaping will be installed consisting of Aspens, Redtwig Dogwoods, and Potentilla. The ground cover will be mulch with perennials. A retaining wall will be installed which will be 2' in height along the interior patio and 6" in height along the exterior. The wall will be stucco to match the existing building. The area will also be enclosed with a railing to match the existing ~ railings on site. The existing railroad ties will be removed. 1 ~ II. ZONING ANALYSIS Zoning: Commerciai Service CeMer (CSC) ~ Lot Area: 0.8058 acres/35,100.65 sq. ft. ~ Allowed/Reauired Existina Prooosed Landscaping: 7,020 sq. ft. (200/6) 5,797.36 sq. fl. (16.50/6) 5,797.36 sq. ft. (16.50/0) Parking: 22 spaces required 19 spaces provided* 3 additional spaces provided (re-striping plan) Beer produced: 1,500 barrels 1,400 barrels 1,400 banels Beer sold off-site: 15% 11% 11% Floor area: N/A 4,726 sq. h. 6,340 sq. ft. qe for breving: 25% 21 % (1,000 sq. ft.) 17% (1,087 sq. ft.) `Based on current occupancy for the Hubcap, Denim and Silk and This Wcked West. The zoning issues of this request relate to parking and landscaping. The staff has determined that Crossroads II (which houses the Hubcap) is a separate development from the Crossroads I (which houses Alfalfa's, etc.) and therefore must be treated separateiy when apptying zoning requirements, such as parking and landscaping. The Crossroads 11 development is currently deficient with respect to both parking and landscaping and is therefore an existing nonconforming use. There are 87 parking spaces provided on-site and the required paricing is approximately 133 parking spaces. In determining ~ the parking impacts of this request, staff first determined the parking required for the existing uses (i.e., Hubcap, Denim and Silk, and The Wicked West). The current requirement for these uses is 19 parking spaces. Since the uses are existing, staff allowed this number of spaces as a credit towards the request. The parking required for the proposed expansion is 22 parking spaces. Therefore, the net parking required for this expansion is three (3) parking spaces. The applicant has submitted a parking re-striping proposal to obtain these three pafking spaces within the existing parking structure. . The site requires 7,020 sq. ft. of landscaping or 20% of the total site area. There is currently ' 5,797.36 sq. ft. of landscaping located on-site, or 16.5% of the total site area. The only impacts , to landscaping are the conversion of an existing "softscape" area to an outdoor dining area (520 sq.ft.). The zoning code allows patios to be counted as landscaping and therefore, technically, there is no loss of landscaping on-site. ' The proposed modifications to the property are consistent with the Streetscape Master Plan for the area. The Plan calls for the removal of ttie railroad tie planters in the area and recommends , either returning these planters to grade or replacing the railroad ties with boulders or stone walls. The proposed outdoor seating area implements these recommendations by removing the railroad ties and returning the planters to grade. The Zoning Code requires that the wholesale sales of beer or ale, and the sale for off-site consumption, not exceed 15% of the product manufactured by the brew pub on an annual basis. The applicant has projected that they will sell about 11 % at wholesale or for off-site consumption in 1996. The Zoning Code aiso requires that a brew pub not produce more than 1,500 barrels of beer or ale per year. The applicant has projected that they will produce about 1,400 barrels of • beer or ale in. 1996. . 2 The Zoning Code limits the floor area used for the brewing operation to 25% of the total floor ~ area of a brew pub. The existing brewing operation occupies 21% (1,000 sq.ft.) of the total floor area and the proposed brewing operation will occupy 17% (1,087 sq.ft.) of the total floor area. 111. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THIS REQUEST The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by the Town of Vait Municipal Code. In addition to the Conditional Use criteria, staff has included criteria from the zoning code and the Vail Comprehensive Plan, as we believe this will help the PEC in its evaluation of the request. A. THE TOWN OF VAIL MUNICIPAL CODE The Hubcap Brewery is located in the Commercial Service Center (CSC) zone district. According to Section 18.28.010 of the zoning code, the purpose of the CSC district is: "to provide sites for general shopping and commercial facilities serving the town, together with limited multiple-family dwelling and lodge uses as may be appropriate without interfering with the basic commercial functions of the district. The commercial service center district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities appropriate to permitted types of buildings and uses, and to maintain a convenient shopping center environment for permitted commercial." . A brew pub which sells beer or ale at wholesale (or for consumption off-site) and outdoor dining shall be permitted in the CSC zone district subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in ~ accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60. For the PEC's reference, the Conditional Use Permit purpose statement indicates that: "in order to provide the flexibi(ity necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. ` Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their affects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties in the Town at large: Uses listed as , conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the Town may prescribe to insure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with the development objectives of the Town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permit shall be denied:" B. VAIL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Several elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan indirectly address outdoor dining areas. The relevant elements and sections are listed below. 1. Land Use Plan 4.3 The ambience of the Village is important to the identity of . Vail and should be preserved.. Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling and environmental qualiry should all be maintained or enhanced. 3 ' . ~ 2. Vaii Village Master Plan 2.4 Objective: Encourage the development of a variety of new commerciat ~ activities that are compatible with existing land uses. 2.4.1 Policy: Commercial in-fill development consistent with established horizontal zoning reguiations shall be encouraged to provide activity generators, accessible green spaces, public plazas, and streetscape improvements to the pedestrian network throughout the Village. 2.4.2 Policy: Activity that provides nightlife and evening entertainment for both the guest and the community shall be encouraged. 3.1 Objective: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by iandscaping and other improvements. 3.1.1 Policy: Private development objectives shall incorporate streetscape improvements such as paver treatments, landscaping, lighting and seating areas along adjacent pedestrian ways. 3.3 Objective: Encourage a wide variety of activities, events and street life along pedestrian ways and plazas. 3.32 Policy: Outdoor dining is an important streetscape feature and shall be encouraged in commercial in-fill or redevelopment ~ projects." IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS 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 the expansion of the Hubcap Brewery (a brew pub) which sells beer or ale at wholesale (or for off-site consumption) and the outdoor dining area, Iocated at 143 East Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village; Fir.st Filing (Crossroads), based upon the following factors: . A. CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The proposal provides for the continued economic viability of a unique use within the Vail Village area. The proposed outdoor dining promotes and implements many of the policies of the Town by improving the streetscape and bringing people into the Village. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. . The proposal creates active open space out of what is currently passive open space. The proposal has no negative impacts on any of the above criteria. . 4 ~ 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive ~ and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas.

The proposal will not change the existing loading and delivery requirements for this use. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. This proposal is in harmony with the character of the area. The outdoor seating . implements several objectives and policies of the Town by encouraging redevelopment, providing streetscape improvements, and bringing people to the Village. The proposal does not increase the scale or bulk of the structure. B. FINDINGS .

Applicant: John Railton, representing the Lion Square Lodge Condominium Association Planner: Jim Curnutte 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST John Railton, on behali of the Lion Square Lodge Condominium Association, has requested Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) review of a proposed major exterior alteration in • the Commercial Core II (CCII) zone district, for a proposed building expansion at the Lion Square Lodge (located at 660 West Lionshead Place/Lot 1, Vail Lionshead 1 st Filing, 1 st Addition). The Lion Square Lodge Condominium Association includes Phase I(east building), Phases II and III (the south building) and Phase IV (north building, located on Parcel B, Part of Lot 8, Block 1, Vail Lionshead 3rd Filing). Overall, the Condominium Association is comprised of 124 condominium units. 97 of these units are located on Lot 1 with the remaining 27 units in Phase IV, which is located north of Lionshead Place, on a different lot. In addition to the residential uses, and common areas related to those residentiai uses, the buildings on Lot 1 also contain a restaurant, a professional office, a retail space, and three meeting/conference rooms. The applicant has stated that the existing lobby area was originally designed to serve Phases 1, II and III only, however, with the addition of the Phase IV building to the Association, their lobby facilities are inadequate, and in need of expansion. The proposed building addition will include an expanded lobby area, a new reservation office and - a new bellman's desk. The proposed addition is approximately 720 square feet in size and will be located on the north side of the Lion Square Lodge, adjacent to the existing main entry to the building. In addition to the proposed building expansion, the association is proposing to rearrange the existing landscape planters on the plaza, resurtace the plaza with pavers that match those used throughout the Lionshead Mall, remove a portion of the existing breezeway overhang along the east side of the addition, and add one surface parking space to the property. Although not part of this major exterior alteration application at this time, the Association is also considering future interior alterations to their existing front desk and management offices. • r / il. BACKGROUND • Phases I, II and HI of the Lion Square Lodge appear to have been constructed in the years 1970- 1972. The condominium plats for these buildings were recorded in 1971, 1972 and 1973, respectively. In 1973, a parking variance was granted by the PEC to convert 12 enclosed spaces in the parking structure into what is now known as the Wildwood Conference Room. At that time, there were 46 parking spaces in the structure. At some later date, the Lion Square Lodge converted 6 additional enclosed parking spaces into storage areas, leaving a total ofi 28 enclosed parking spaces today. As described further in this memorandum, staff is recommending that the unauthorized storage areas be removed and converted back to parking spaces. This will not only improve the property's parking nonconformity (in terms of numbers and the enclosure requirement) but also its common area nonconformiry (by removing approximately 1,720 square feet of common floor area). On February 13, 1995, the PEC approved Lion Square Lodge's request for a major exterior . alteration in the CCII zone district and parking and common area variances for a lobby expansion which was siightly larger, but very similar in design to the request being reviewed today. The PEC approved the requests with five conditions. Since variance approvals are valid for a period of two years from the date granted, there is no need to include requests for variances in the new major exterior alteration application being reviewed by the PEC today. On February 21, 1995, the Vail Town Council "called-up" the PEC's approval of the Lion Square Lodge in order to review the approval. After considerable discussion, the Council members decided to uphold the PEC's approval of the project. On March 15, 1995, the Vail Design Review Board approved the project, with conditions. • . On April 4, 1995, the Town Council "called-up" the DRB approval of the project, and again after considerable discussion, the Town Council decided to uphold the DRB's approval. 2 • 110 ZONtNG ANALYSIS Zoning: Commercial Core II (CCII) Lot Area: 1.8 acres or 78,416 square feet Aliowed/Required Existing b onin Develooment Progosed Develooment Height': 45 feet for flat or mansard roofs Approximately 65 feet to ihe highest No changes proposed 48 feet for-a sioping roof point of the stair tower Setbacks': 10 feet from all property lines N: 11 feet No changes proposed S: 6 feet E: 3 feet W:1 foot GRFA: 80% of buildable area or 62,733 sq. ft. 94% of site or 73,660 sq. ft. No changes proposed Common Area: 35%0 of allowable GRFA or 21,957 sq. ft. 46.1 % of allowable GRFA or 28,917 sq. ft. 472 % of ailowable GRFA or 29,637 sq. ft. Dweliing Units: 25 units per acre of buildable site area 81.5 units on Lot 1(66 DUs and 31 AUs) (Phases I, II R II) Na changes proposed a 45 units for ihe site 27 units in Phase IV which is located on a differern lot Site Coverage': 70% of the total site area or 54,891 sq. ft. 53.1 % of the total site area or 41,650 sq. ft. No changes proposed" landscaping: 20% of the total site area or 15,683 sq.fl. 2320% of ihe total site area or 18,244 sq. ft. 242% of total site area or 19,000 sq. ft. Parking"': 190 spaces required 94 parking spaces ( 66 surface spaces and 95 parking spaces ( 67 surlace spacas and 28 endosed spaces) 28 enclosed spaces) Loading: 1 loading berth required No loading benhs currently exist No changes proposed on the property 'These restrictions pertain unless otherwise specified in the Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan and Urban Design Considerations. "Since the proposed lobby addition is being located directly above the Wildwood Conference Room, as well as above some housekeeping spaces, it will not increase the existing site coverage on the ProPertY. *"The total parking requirement for the current uses at ihe Lion Square Lodge is 201 spaces, however, a 59'o reduction in parking spaces is allowed for muhiple use parking facilities per Section 18.52.120 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. At least one-half of the required parking shall be located within the main building or buildings. No parkin.g or loading may be located in any front setbadc area. As this property is located in the CCII zone district, any new parking spaces that are generated as a resuh of the proposed building addition must be provided on-site, however, if the site is unable to accommodate additional parking spaces, the applicant may pay into the Trnm of Vail Parking Fund. At this time, parking spaces are $16,333.38 each plus the percentage the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the City of Denver has increased over each successive year. At ihis time, the applicant is proposing to provide the one additional parking space required in conjunction with this building on the property, however, if the Association chooses to pay into the Town of Vail Parking Fund at a later date, the amount of the fee will be determined based upon the parlcing fee that is in effect at the time that a building permit is issued for the proposed addition. Variance approved - February 1995 , 3 R IV. CRITER{A TO BE USED IN EVALUATING THIS PROPOSAL ~ A. rompliancp with the Commercial Core 11 Zone District PurRose tatement As stated in the Zoning Code, the purpose of the CCII zone district is as follows: ' "The Commercial Core II District is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple dwellings, lodges, and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified development. Commercial Core II District in accordance with the Vail Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan and Design . Considerations is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and , other amenities appropriate to the permitted rypes of buildings and uses and to maintain the desirable qualities of the district by establishing appropriate site development standards." • . $taff ResRpnse• Staff believes that the proposed addition to the Lion Square Lodge complies with the purpose statement of the CCII zone district. B. Compliance with the Urban Desian Guide Plan for Lionshead The Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan identifies the right-of-way between Phases l, ll and III and Phase IV as a major Lionshead Mall entry (southwest mall entry). The only sub-area concept in the immediate vicinity of the proposed Lion Square Lodge is Concept Number 29 (see Attachment #2 for a map of the area) which suggests: • "Strong landscape planting to reinforce entry identity, with tree planters to soften a{leyway and introduce meander to pathway." Staff Response: Staff believes that the applicant has adequately softened the appearance of the pedestrian walkway along the northern side of Building 1 with the addition of a 3-foot wide landscape planter. C. Comnliance with the Urban Desiyn Considerations for Lionshead and Exterior Alteration Criteria The following design considerations are critical elements of the Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan and provide the criteria to evaluate new proposals: 1. Height and Massing: The Lionshead Design Guidelines focus primarily on the pedestrian mall and encourage modest additions to create a ground level experience which would attract attention away from the height and mass of many of the existing buildings in order to overcome the "canyon" effect. According to the Lion Square Lodge's architect, the proposed addition is one story high in order to respect the views • from adjacent residential spaces and is oriented towards the point of automobile access to the site. 4 i . The Design Guidelines also encourage building additions to match the architectural style of the existing building or buildings on the site so as to avoid a patchwork, "tacked-on" appearance in Lionshead. The Guidelines state that all ~ expansions should appear to have been part of the original design of each buitding: In this case, staff believes that the proposed building addition fits well with the architecture and building materials of the existing building. 2. Roofs: . The applicant is proposing a flat roof on a majority of the proposed building addition, with a small sloping roof form on the east side. The flat roof will include a large skylight in order to add additional light into the lobby area. The finish material proposed for the flat roof is stone ballast, of a color to match the proposed plaza pavers. The sfoping roof will be finished with cedar shingles to match a!I other sloped roofs on the existing building. The applicant has stated that there will be no mechanical equipment located on the roof of the proposed building addition. The Lionshead Urban Design Considerations state that flat, shed, vaulted, or dome roofs are acceptable for building expansions. The Design Guidelines also state that most existing building roofs in Lionshead are too high to be seen, but where they are highly visible from the ground, such as the Lion Square Lodge Condominiums, proposed building expansions should match the existing roof pitch. Staff believes that the proposed flat roof lobby addition, with a pitched roof • element on the east side is in character with the existing building and will be an improvement to the north side of the building. 3. Facades - Walls/Structures: The proposed building addition will displace the current "trellis" and timber planters which are located on the piaza, in front of the existing lobby. The applicant points out that this addition greatly improves the visibility of the main entry, which is currently recessed and difficult to locate for those not familiar with the facility. The exterior finish materials of the proposed addition include stucco, to match the texture and color of the stucco on the existing building. The fascia of the iobby extension will be redwood boards, painted brown to match the rest of the building. The soffit above the lobby entrance will be finished with exterior grade gypsum - board. The doors on the west and east sides of the addition, as well as a majority of the windows, will be a bronze colored anodiied aluminum. Those windows which are located in the stucco walls are proposed to be metal clad wood, of a sand color. The iobby wiH be brightly lit with recessed fights in the soffit to identify the building entry and to invite guests into the hotel. The walkways leading around the proposed addition will be lighted by low level ground lights recessed into the building and landscape planters. ~ 5 M 4. Facades - Transparency: Staff believes that this particular design criteria has more relevancy to the more • pedestrian oriented areas of the Lionshead Mall. However, as it relates to this property, staff feels comfortable with the ratio of glass area to stucco wall being proposed, as well as the window pattern itself. ~ 5. Decks and Patios: . Staff believes that the existing plaza area currently exhibits an uninviting and barren appearance. The proposed lobby addition, which will include new i landscape planters and ptaza pavers, will greatly improve the appearance of ttiis portion of the property. The proposed plaza pavers will match those used in the Lionshead Mall and witl be heated. The plaza pavers wili be carried ali the way through the breezeway, which runs between Buildings 1 and 2. The applicant has undulated the northern edge of the plaza in order to provide a softer transition to the landscape island to the north, than currently exists. 6. Accent Elements: The only significant accent elements proposed in conjunction with the building addition are the skylight on top of the flat roof and the new flagpole at the lobby entrance. Staff believes that these features add an interesting element to the addition. Although the landscape plan indicates that a ski storage rack is proposed to be placed along the easternmost landscape planter during the winter months, no information has been provided to review its design. Staff recommends • that the specifics related to the proposed ski rack (materials, color, etc.) be submitted for review by the Design Review Board. 7. Landscape Elements: Although the applicant is proposing to remove a number of landscape planters ~ located on the existing plaza, the overall amount of landscape planting area on the properry will increase with, the new proposal. New landscape planters are proposed to be added to the north side of the building addition, along the west side of Building 1 and alang the north side of Bui{ding 1(in the area of the gondola ' pedestrian access way). Additionally, the existing landscape planter north of the plaza will be expanded to the south, reducing the excessive amount of plaza area and providing a more pleasing atmosphere in the area. The wall surrounding this expanded landscape area will include a buitt-in wood bench. All new landscape planter and site walls will be faced with brown granite and have a sandstone cap. As indicated on the iandscape pfan, some of the proposed shrubs are 1 gallon in size. The minimum size of shrubs, according to the Town's Design Guidelines, is 5 gallons. Staff recommends that the PEC increase the size of all proposed , shrubs to 5 gallon containers. • 6 Due to problems with the Association covenants, the applicant is unable to convey a formal pedestrian easement to the Town, for the walkway north of Building 1, as requested by staff, PEC and DRB during the review of the previously approved building expansion application. However, they have agreed to sign a letter of a reement to allow for the continued use of the property as a public pedestrian 9 ' way. 8. Service and Delivery: Although the applicant is not proposing to add additional loading berths in ~ ct o , proposed lobbY addition will con'un i n with this addition staff believes that the have a positive effect on service and delivery. Currently, large delivery vehicles park in the access aisleways in order to deliver goods to the front door of the building, which on occasion, biocks traffic. The proposed addition will include a flare to the existing driveway leading to the lobby, which will allow delivery vehicles to park and unload without blocking existing aisleways. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the major exterior alteration application. Staff believes that the applicant has shown that the proposed addition has been designed to blend well with the overall context of the existing building and that the proposed addition complies with the criteria identified in the Lionshead Urban Design Considerations. We feel that the proposed lobby expansion is • necessary for the appropriate functioning of the Lion Square Lodge and that the addition of one surface parking space is not detrimental to the property as a whole. Staff is recommending the following conditions be attached to the approval of this project: 1. That the Lion Square Lodge Condominium Association remove the unauthorized conversion of six enclosed parking spaces into storage areas. Converting the storage areas back to parking spaces will bring the property further into conformance with the Zoning Code by increasing the number of parking spaces, increasing the percentage of enclosed parking spaces, and decreasing the amount of common floor area fiound on the property. 2. That'the applicant provide staff and DRB with a detailed explanation as to how the existing trees in the area of the new parking space will be protected and guarantee their survival for a period of finro years after construction. ' 3. That prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, the Lion Square Lodge Condominium Association shall sign a letter of agreement authorizing the continued public use of the walkway north of Building 1. 4. That all shrubs proposed to be installed on the Lion Square Lodge property be 5 gallons or larger. 5. That details related to the proposed ski storage rack be presented and approved by the Design Review Board, prior to its installation. • 7 P~~~+ g 04°35'58" E- 4.00 „ ~ g1.89 . ~ .

A request for a residential addition, utilizing the 250 Ordinance, to allow for an expansion to an existing duplex residence located at 1415 Westhaven/Lot 52, Glen Lyon. - Applicant: Neil Sirotkin, represented by David Irwin ~ Planner: George Ruther • Greg Amsden abstained from voting. I George Ruther gave an overview of the staff memo and stated that staff recommended approval of the request for an additional 226 sq. ft. being added to the residence. Staff felt that the Findings had been met and suggested that the approval carry with it the condition (isted on page ~ 4 of the memo. Greg Moffet asked if the applicant was present. The applicant was not present. Greg Moffet asked for any public input. Rivers Jardis, owner of the other half of the duplex residence at 1415 Westhaven Drive, was not in favor of a carport, and stated that there are no earports in the neighborhood. Her other concern was topography. In order to push further to the south, a great deal of excavation would be needed to hold up ihe wafl. She mentioned that drainage from the south came onto her property. Rivers said the Sirotkins were not the tidiest people and did not maintain the landscaping. Their property is an eyesore to the neighborhood. She gave an example that the gazebo for their hot tub, on the deck, has been damaged by snow that fell from the roof. The gazebo is now a pile of lumber. Rivers is concerned about the appearance of a non-enclosed addition; that it will not be maintained. ~ Ptanning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 25, 1996 1 ' Galen Aasland had no problem with the carport, since ii is aliowed within the zoning. He does I~ have a problem with the landscaping. Galen feels the carport should be sheitered more on the south side. The landscape plan needs to be approved. He asked George Ruther if the landscaping needs to be approved by the neighbors? George Ruther said it is Duplex Zoned and he hasn't seen the covenants; whether adjacent property owners need to approve the landscaping. The Zoning Code does not require adjacent property owner approval. Rivers Jardis said adjacent property owners do need to give their approval. Galen Aasland would like to see irrigation on the south side to support the trees. Diane Golden said an automatic sprinkler might be the answer. Rivers Jardis said they have an automated sprinkler system, but they don't turn it on. Kevin Deighan asked if the applicant was present. He was not. He thought, with the empty space above the garage, that we should grant the additiona1250 now. His other concern was the retaining wall. Kevin feels that the street will not be held up. George Ruther said that was a problem identified by Public Works. At the time of the application, the applicant didn't have a current survey. The question is whether the retaining walls are going to work. ~ Diane Golden asked what would keep it from falling into the carport. George Ruther said installing a new retaining walf which wi(I cut deeper into the hillside. Rivers Jardis asked if a bigger wall would be running east to west. If so, it will have to be huge. George Ruther said the wall would not exceed 3' in height. Greg Moffet explained that if it was needed to be bigger, they would have to tier the hillside. - Gene Uselton asked if this application would negatively impact the adjacent property owners. George Ruther said that no adjacent property owners had come forward with complaints. Rivers Jardis asked what the process was to make adjacent properry owners aware that they might be negatively impacted. George Ruther said this meeting was where objection could be heard and that it was published and a copy of the public notice went out to all adjacent property owners. Rivers Jardis stated that she was at a party Friday night and that none of the neighbors received - a notice. All the neighbors are against the carport. The Rays never received a notice. George Ruther said the Rays were notified at a Littleton, Colorado address. ~ Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 25, 1996 2 i Rivers Jardis asked if the PECs decision wouid be the final say. ~ Henry Pratt said there was an appeals process for Rivers Jardis to pursue. He questioned staff ~ whether new evidence couid be introduced during an appeals process? Mike Mo!lica said additional letters would not be a significant factor, since we are hearing complaints today. Greg Moffet said it might be adequate to show negative impact; maybe enough to deny approval. Galen Aasland asked George Ruther if the steep part of the hill faces south. Galen feels that there is not enough landscaping to shelter the carport trom the street. George Ruther stated the applicant is proposing to add new trees on the west side of the property as shown on the proposed plans. Galen Aasland said the south side is his concern. Diane Golden asked if carports are permitted in Town? Mike Maliica stated for the record, that the Design Guidelines allow carports and there is nothing in the code that prohibits them. Diane Golden said that was too bad. Henry Pratt said he had no feeling either way about the carport, but the gas meter inside the carport may be unsafe. lncreasing the size of the driveway also increases the runoff. Henry • doesn't think the retaining waii will work and the applicant is not here to address these issues. He doesn't want to propose conditions with an approval if the applicant is not present. George Ruther explained that the Building Permit issuance will address the meter location issue and whether it needs to be moved. We have requested a current survey which will address the retaining walls. Kevin Deighan suggested tabling this item until the current survey is done. A 3' foot retaining walf will not be adequate. We are not getting the whole picture at this time. Galen Aasland asked if the applicant had to be present? Mike Mollica looked up the 250 code and noted that adjacent property owners do not have a right to appeal. Greg Moffet reminded everyone that a carport is a permitted use. The Nuisance Ordinance deals with messy neighbors. I would vote in favor of the application as iong as provisions were made for a serious review by the DR6. Henry Pratt made a motion that the request be approved with the conditions proposed by staff and the with an additional condition that the DRB look carefully at the land drainage, retaining walls and the location of the gas meter. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes ~ March 23, 1996 3 I ~ The motion was seconded by Kevin. Henry Pratt reminded everyone that if the gas meter is knocked over by a car, then the neighbors would be impacted. Greg Moffet said if the appiicant changes the pian to meet code, the PEC won't see it again, but the DRB will. Galen Aasland asked if Henry Pratt would amend the motion to include the south side of the lot ' be adequately screened. Henry Pratt said he would amend his motion to include landscaping on the south and west for the purposes of screening. Diane Golden said she doesn't see a carport working. ~ The amended motion was seconded by Kevin Deighan. The motion passed by a vote of 5-1-1, with Diane Golden opposing and Greg Amsden abstaining. 2. A request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the expansion of the Hubcap Brewery (a brew pub) and for an outdoor dining area (ocated at 143 East Meadow Drive/Tract P, Block 5D, Vail Village 1 st Filing. • Applicant: Lance Lucey Planner: Dominic Mauriello Dominic Mauriello gave an overview of the request. He stated that the applicant needs to increase parking by three spaces and that the applicant submitted a restriping plan to meet the requirement for parking. The proposal will convert some "softscape" to "hardscape" which is allowed by the code. Staff has recommended approval with 6 conditions. Condition 1-4 are existing conditions from the previous appiication. Greg Moffet asked if the applicant had anything to add. Lance Lucey, owner, and Bill Pierce, architect for the Hubcap, had nothing to add. Gene Uselton asked about the safety of people sitting on the deck. He heard about a truck going down the slope into This Wicked West area a while ago. Brian Lefay, General Manager of the Hubcap, said the truck that rolled was not manned at the time of the accident, and came down the street from the Frontage Road. Diane Golden ihought boulders lining the street might prevent that from happening. Lance Lucey mentioned that the entire location is being considered for upgrading and he doesn't want to have to redo the landscaping twice. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 25, 1996 4 • , I ' Diane Golden asked what the time frame was for redoing the area. I Biil Pierce said he does not know when that wiil happen. The truck rolling into the deck was an ~ odd accident. We can't prevent this from happening. I Gene Uselton had no further comments. Diane Golden had no comments. Henry Pratt stated that the fenestration is being changed to al(ow customers to sit close to the windows. A freak accident might jeopardize the safety of the people inside the buiiding. ~ BiH Pierce said it is understood that we are over ihe allowed uses of parking on the site. However, only three more spaces are required which they wiii comply with. . Mike Mollica said Gartons has valet parking when their deck is in use. The restriping being proposed will comply with code. i Henry-Pratt asked what will happen with fhe existing manholes? Bill Pierce said that they would remain, but be lowered. Galen Aasland asked if the tables and umbrellas would be consistent with everything on site? I Galen Aasland has concerns witti landscaping by the new front deck. The applicant is replacing softscape with hardscape. Under the 3.1.1 policy, he would (ike to see a bench and more landscaping at the front by the doub(e gate, instead of a fence. • i Bi11 Pierce stated that the inside patio wall would be stucco. Galen Aasland asked if the applicant would entertain a retaining wall and bench instead of the stucco? Bill Pierce thought they could just make the planter longer to the west. Kevin Deighan agrees with Gene Uselton to place boulders along the southeast portion of the property. Perhaps the landlord would kick in to help with the expense. Bill Pierce said additional boulders near the sidewalk would require a right-of-way permit. Dominic Mauriello said the applicant has about a foot of space on their property, however, he doesn't think it would be a problem with Public Works granting the right-of-way permit. Kevin Deighan wou(d like to see white wire mesh furniture and consistent canvas "markeY' umbrelias with no advertising. Both this body and the DRB are not allowing advertising on the umbrelfas. Kevin asked if the applicant was proposing to carry over the same canvas awning on the southwest, as is now on the southeast? Greg Amsden asked staff why the Zoning Code calls out production limits? Planning and Environmental Cotnmission Minutes March 25, 1996 5 I . , . . Dominic Mauriello stated the reason is it would be more like a restaurant with a brew pub as an • accessory use. Delivery truck restrictions keep it more on a restaurant scale, rather than a brewing plant. Greg Amsden said that the applicant is taking away landscaping and replacing it with hardscape. He agrees with the need to have boulders and more landscaping. Landscaping will invite people to come in. He encourages the applicant to do hillside landscaping. Greg also stated that there is (imited parking for the whole complex. Lance Lucey said there have been a lot of tradeoffs with the inside space for overall improvements. The outside area by Denim and Silk has never been maintained. Greg Amsden said a right-of-way permit application is not a 4 month process. Mike Mollica said staff needs to confer with the Town Engineer, Greg Hall, and then Dominic Mauriello can sign off on it within a matter of days. . Greg Moffet shares concerns with the other commissioners regarding the bare hillside. The area does not need 12' pine trees, but rather shrubs to compliment the facility. It would also shield the patrons from looking out at the underside of cars. Gafen Aasland made a motion for approval with the conditions as listed on page 5 and 6 of the staff memo. He added that umbrellas, tables, chairs and the canopy need to be consistent. That landscaping of the right-of-way be approved by the Town (revocable ROW permit) and approved by the DRB. He wants more landscaping on the southeast and southwest entrances. Also, no advertising on the umbrellas. • Gene Uselton seconded the motion. Mike Mollica stated that prior to a Building Permit, a revocable ROW permit shail need to be +n place, not prior to DRB approval. The motion was so amended by Galen Aasland. . The amended motion was seconded by Gene Uselton. Kevin Deighan wanted mesh tables and market type umbrellas added to the motion. Galen Aasland amended the motion. Mike Mollica said staff would work it out with Greg Hall, so vehic(es are not launched by.the boulders. Gene Usefton seconded the amended motion. The motion passed unanimously by a vote of 7-0 subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall provide a delivery service for any wholesale customers and shall not allow wholesale customers to pick up the product at the site. ~ Planning and Enviroumental Commission ~ Minutes March 25, 1996 6 I ' 2.The applicant shail not make deliveries more than once a week to wholesale customers. ~ I 3. The applicant shall conduct ail deliveries via the existing loading dock. 4. The applicant sha!l not use any vehicle larger than a pick-up truck to make ~ deliveries. 5.

I 9. Add landscaping at the proposed gated entrance to the proposed outdoor dining ~ area. I 10. If umbrellas are used they shall be market canvas umbrellas without advertising. Greg Moffet reminded the applicant ihat if Greg Half says no boulders, then they need to address • I landscaping for safety concerns. 3. A request ior a Major Exterior Alteration in the CClf zone district to af{ow for a lobby expansion at the Lion Square Lodge located at 660 W. Lionshead Place/ Lot 1, Vail- Lionshead 1 st Filing. Applicant: Lion Square Lodge Condominium Association, represented by John Railton Planner: Jim Curnutte Jim Curnutte explained what the applicant would like to do. This request is similar to the previous proposal, however scaled back from the original last year. The previous variance approvals that were granted last year are still valid, since they are good for two years. Jim directed the PEC to review the criteria and stated that this request was in compliance. Jim stated that the landscaping, decks and patios are an improvement to an area that is currently barren. Staff thinks this application carries out all of the elements required for major exterior alterations and recommends approval with the five conditions as listed on page 7 of the memo. Greg Moffet asked the applicant if there was anything to add. Plannittg and Environmental Commission Minutes ~ March 25, 1996 7 John Railton, the architect, along with Jim Turner representing the Management and the ~ Association of the Lion Square Lodge stated that they wanted the addition to relate as much as possible to the existing building. The two new elements introduced are stone walls and the pavers that will be used in ihe plaza area. Greg Moffet asked for any public comment, however ihere was none. Galen Aasland noted that the first condition that staff recommended was important to return the six parking spaces back into parking spaces. Galen had no interest in the access agreement condition, but will go with it if the rest of the commissioners feel strongly about it. John Railton said the roof would be sandstone ballast and copper. Galen Aasland said he would like to see stone facing on the building, to be wainscoting 24" high. Kevin Deighan asked if all buildings would be painted the same color. John Railton said yes, and they would match the colors that were formerly approved. Jim Turner also agreed that they would all match. Kevin Deighan also would like to see the removal of the storage area and the six parking spaces be restored. Greg Amsden had no comments, but stated he likes what the applicant is proposing. . Gene Uselton asked where all the water will go given the heated pavers and no specific plan for drainage? John Railton stated that there was a pitch for drainage. Diane Golden said the proposal was a nice improvement. Henry Pratt had no comment. Greg Moffet disagrees with Galen Aasland regarding the fascia improvements. It is more appropriate for DRB to review. Kevin Deighan made a motion for approval in accordance with the staff inemo and the five conditions, with one amendment, that the conversion of the unauthorized storage area be converted back to parking spaces before a Building Permit is issued. Henry Pratt seconded the motion. It passed unanimously by a vote of 7-0. Greg Amsden made a motion to table items No. 4, No: 5, and No. 6 until April 8, 1996.
