MEMflRANDUM
~ TO: Planning and Environrnental Commission
FROM: Community Development Departrnent
DATE: January 27, 1997
SUBJECT: A request far a setback variance for a garage addition, lacated at 4532
Streamside Circle Eastl Lot 15, Bighorn 4th Addition.
Applicant: Liilian and Bill Bresnahan
Planner: Lauren Waterton
1, BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The appiicant is requesting a side setback variance of appraximately 3', to allow for a 12' side
setback, in order to canstruct an attached 415 sq. ft., twa-car garage. This site is currently
improved with a dupiex strueture without a garage. The existing structure was constructed in
1973 and the area was under Eagle Caunty jurisdiction at that time. As constructed, the duplex
encroaches 10' into the required 15' side setback and therefore, is a pre-existing nonconforming
structure.
~ The PEC first reviewed this request an December 16, 1996. Since that meeting, the applicant
has revised the plan to provide a larger west side setback for the proposed garage.
There is an existing unimpraved driveway for the west haif of the duplex, which approaches the
house in approximately the same area where the garage is proposed. There is also a large tree,
located in the front of the duplex. The existing lat line dividing the duplex is located 34' from the
west property line and 19' from the setback line.
The site is also nonconforming with respect to driveway paving. The driveway is currentfy
unpaved and therefore must be paved if this addition is constructed.

111. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
, lJpon review of Section 18.62.060, Criteria and Findings, of the Town of Vai! Municipai Code, the
Community Deveiopment Department recommends approval of the requested side setback
variance. The recommendation #or approval is based on the follawing factors:
A. Consideration o# Factors:
1. The relatianship of #he requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and s#ructures in the vicinity.
I
Most duptexes in this area were constructed with garages. Staff believes
that providing garages is a benefit to the neighborhood by removing cars
and other iterns from public view. While the proposal is compatible with
the neighborhaad, the encroachment into the setback is an additionai
impact to the adjacent structure to the west. However, staff believes the
applicant has mitigated this irnpact by proposing to locate the garage as
fiar east as possible. As a result, the existing tree wili be removed. The
applieant is praposing to rnitigate the lass of the tree with an 8' spruce ~
tree. 5taff believes additional mitigation of the tree and the addition of the
structure can be obtained with landscaping and fenestration additions to
the project.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and
III enforcement of a specified reguiation 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 privilege.
, Staff believes that the layout and orientation of the existing structure make
#his site unique. The existing location of the building in the side setback
and the Oocation of the (at line dividing the duplex, constitute a physical
hardship and therefore, prevent the addition from being moved further to
the east, aut of the setback. The applicant has proposed a modest iwa-
car garage of 415 sq. ft., which staff bel#eves to be the rninimum
necessary for adequate access and use of the garage. The minimum
width for a two-car garage is generally 20' and the applicants property is
only 19' wide. Therefare, some encroachment into the setback is
necessary for a two-car garage. Staff believes the proposal is not a grant
~ of special privilege due to the site constraints.
~
2
3. The effect of the requested variance on light anc9 air, distribution of
~ population, #ransportation and traffic facilities, pubiic facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
Staff believes that the requested variance will not negatively affect these
issues. While the proposed addition is located in the setback, it
encroaches 7' iess than the existing building. There will continue to be a
separation of approximately 22' between the two buildings and 29'
between the garage and the adjacent structure. Staff believes that this
separation is adequate and will not compromise these issues.
B. The Planninq and Environrnental Cammission shall make the followin fig, ndings
before cLanting a variance:
1. That the granting af the variance will not constitute a grant ofi 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 ta properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
~ regulation would result in practical difficu!#y or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances ar conditions
applicable to the sarne site of the variance that da not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone.
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified reguiation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same district.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the applicant's
side setback variance request subject to the following findings:
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. There are exceptions ar extraordinary circumstances or conditians
applicab(e to this site that do not apply generally to other praperties in the
Two-Family Residential zone.
~
3
3. The strict interpretation or enforcemen# of the specified regulatian would ~
deprive the applicant of priviledges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same district.
The recamrnendation for approval is also subject to the following condi#ians:
1. The driveway shall be paved.
2. In order to provide a buffer to the adjacent property and to mitigate the
setback encraachment, trees shall be added along the west wall of the
new addiiion. Specifically, a minimum of three aspen trees shall be
added. The location shall be subject to the review and approval by the
Design Review Board.
3. Windows shall be added to the east and west elevations of the new
garage, subject to the review and approval by the Design Review Board.

MEMQRANDUM

TO: Pfanning and Environmenta! Commission
FROM: Community Developrnent Department
DATE: January 27, 1997
SUBJECT: A request far a worksession to amend Chapter 16.20 (Signs Perrnitted,
Categories and Regulations) of the Vaii Municipai Code to aNow for the use af
ternporary banners.
Appficant: Town of Vail
Planner: Lauren Watertan
1. BACKGROUND
Within the Town of Vail, banners rnay be displayed ta annaunce ar promote cammunity events or
activities. The Vail Municipal Code does not define a"community event," hawever, staff has
in#erpreted community events to rnean activities open to the general public, such as Vai! America
Days. Before a banner can be displayed for such an event, staff must review and approve the
banner design and Incation.
Fiecentiy, the Town has received severai requests for banners far events that are no# specifically
community related. Most commonly, requests are from conference organizers who wish to
display a"welcome banner" at the host hotel. Typically, the banner wouid indicate the
conference name, place and date. Staff has historically denied these requests because they are
not community events, as interpreted by staff. However, staff believes that banners for these
types of events should be ailowed in order to welcome people to our community and prornate
conferences and conven#ions within Vail.
On September 9, 1996, the Planning and Environmental Commission discussed the pros and
cons of allowing banners to be used for conferences and other arganized non-commercial
events. After some discussion, the PEC directed staff to draft a proposed amendment ta the
Sign Code to aliow for these types ofi temporary banners. Attachment #1 is the existing text
within the Sign Cade that regulates the dispiay of ternporary banners. Attachment #2 shows the
proposed changes.
li. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES
In an effart to sirnplify this section of the Sign Cade, staff is recommending that the original
section titled, "Flags, Pennants, Banners and Bunting," be split into two sections; one section
titled, "Banners, Pennants and Bunting" and the ather section titled, °Flags." The regulatians
within the Sign Code regarding flags relate primarily ta the display of national, state and official
flags. Because the regulation of flags is significantly different than the regulation of banners,
staff is praposing to create these two separate sections. As shown in Attachment #2, the
~ substance of this section related to flags has not changed.
The changes to the new section "Banners, Pennants and Sunting" are discussed belaw.
? De#initions ~
Stafif is proposing to modify the existing definition of a"banner," to include the use of
banners for non-commercial events and convenfiions. The de#inition of "convsntion" wi11
also be added to clarify when these ternporary `banners may be used. That defini#ion is
as follows:
"Convenfion" means a formal meeting of inembers, representatives or delegates,
as of a political party, fraternal society, profession, or industry. May also be
referred ta as a "conference."
? Purpase
in an effort to aHow for temporary banners ta pramote non-cornrnercial events and
conventions, staff is proposing to change the purpose section of the Banners, Pennants
and Bunting section to allow for #he display of banners at these events. Banners,
Pennants and E3unting will be able #o be displayed for events sponsored by a civic,
charitable, educationaf, religious or serviee organizatians or at conventions, so long as
they are displayed only at the site a# the primary host facility.
? Size
Staff is proposing a maximurn size of 20 square feet. The maximum size for any sign
within the Town of Vail is 20 square #eet, ~
? Height
The minirnum height for banners (8 feet aver pedestrian ways, 15 feet over vehicular
ways) will not be modified. However, staff is proposing a maximum height limit of 25 feet
above grade. This is the rnaximurn height far any sign within the Town of Vail.
? Number
The maximum nurnber of banners allowed per event ar conventian will be ane. If a facility
is hasting more than one event, one banner can be permitted for each event.
? Lighting
The current regulations allow banners to be illuminated with indirect lighting. Staff is
propasing to eliminate that provision and prohibit the illumination of a banner.
? Advertising/Sponsorship
Sponsarship on these banners will be limited to 25% of the total area of the banner. This
is the sarne percentage af sponsarship that is allowed on the banners over Bridge Street
and at the entrance to Lionshead.
~
2
As with any other sign within the Town of Vail, staff rnust review and apprave the sign prior to its
~ display.
The banners that are located above Bridge Street in Vail Village and at the entrance af
Lionshead are currently not regulated by our Sign Code. There are staff policies that regulate the
use, size and amount of commercial sponsorship on these signs. At this time, staff is not
proposing to make any modificatians to the Sign Code that would affect these banners, however,
staff is warking with the Town Attorney to codify these staff palicies. This will be addressed at
the finai review by the PEC.
Ili. STAFF RECOMNiENDATION
Since this is a warksession ta discuss the praposed changes to the Sign Code, staff will not be
providing a recomrnendation at this time. Staff will however, provide a staff recornmendation at
the tirne of finai review by the Planning and Environmental Commission.

locations that exist now in the Village and Lionshead. He said the regulations regarding Village
and Lionshead banners have been policies far quite some time and staff wanted thern included in
the code.
Galen Aasland asked what sponsorships using 25% of the banner meant.
Mike Moilica explained that it meant 25°10 of the entire banner.
L.auren Waterton stated that a definitian in the Sign Code demonstrated how to measure sign
area.
Diane Golden had no comments.
Nenry Pratt said the sign size o# 20 sq. ft. was srnall and he felt samething larger would be more ~
appropriate.
Mike Mollica said 20 sq. ft. would be reasonable, because the maximum size for any sign in the
Town was 20 sq. ft.
Henry Pratt felt since it was a temporary sign, 20 sq. ft. was too small.
John Schofield said these changes should be pub{ished, sa peaple know about this. The lighting
should be ioaked at. He felt there shQUld be a provision to allow #or these banners to be lit. He
agreed with Henry that 20 sq. ft was not big enough and advised staff to get feedback from the
Vail Valley Founda#ian. He was not sure how to measure the 25°lo cammercial arrd felt there
should be some guideiines on how that was to be interpreted. He advised stafif to incorporate
sorne flexibility into the lacatian of the big banners in Town.
Mike Mollica stated, regarding the largs banners, that staff had the ability to control them through
the Special Events Permit.
Greg Amsden again reminded the PEC that this codificatian was nat pertaining to the special
events banners, but to conference banners. ,

Lauren Waterton stated the two banners in the Village and Lionshead had ta be a minimum of
20' wide.
Henry Pratt suggested it read 20 sq. ft., or as staff permits.
Mike Mollica said staff could propose some language with regard to the size allowance in relation
to the height of the banner. He reminded the PEC that we didn't want to overregulate.
Henry Pratf thnught a larger banner should be permitted with special circumstances.
Mike Moliica said a larger banner couid go to the DRB and said that 20 sq. ft. was the largest
sign aliowed within the Town of Vaii and it was quite large. Ne said that these banners were
propased to welcome people walking into the hotels, but it sounded like the cansensus of the
