As you are aware, we have filed two new applications for the `Austria Haus Ciub: one for . PA-1 cezoning and the other for an adjusted SUU. In both cases, we have incorpurawd • Changes to the previous SDD request in an attempt to satisfy most of the critieisms ot' the . project, while still retaining the possibility of obtaining financing. A summary of snme of ! those changes fofiows: ! . 1. Reduction of the number of club units from 22 to 20. - 2. Reduction of the number of floors from 6ve to faur. 3. Reduction of the height of the building to 48 feet maximum. . 4. Provisian of space for additional support for the hotel raoms. 5. Desikn of an amenity package to include an outdoar poat, excrcise room with sauna, lounge and bar, etc. . . . 6. Redesign of the size of the loading ramp and incrcase in fandscaping on the wcst sids of the building. ' Whereas I am sure that these changes will not quiet every critic ar criticisini, I believe that the changes represent the maximum reductiAn in the seope oFthe project tLai is finnncially feasihie fnr nur (ar any) financinK source. As per the attached letter frnm our lender's ~Al cepresen[ative, Textron Financial Corporation (who has financed the majority of the existing Club projects tind is the major iender in that business), I am reot sure that the ncw . proposal will mW their collateral criterial. ETnfortunately, we will not have a definitive answer to that question until the Town of Vail approves the project and the complete : permitted package is reviewed by Textron's loan committee.

This new version will require ' each of the 20 ciub units to represent over $1,300,000 in average coltateral value, and wc are dramaiica0y changing and reducing the value of our four penthouse units. Textron has indicated that they will not accept an increase in our origi.nal projected sales prices for the . club memberships, since these prices already represent the highest in che industry by quite ~ a bit.

Appticant: Lee Kirch, represented by Gordon Pierce Planner: Lauren Waterton 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Lee Kirch, represented by Gordon Pierce, is requesting a minor subdivision to allow for a modification to the existing building envelope platted on Lot 3, Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision (see Attachment 1). Specifically, the applicant is proposing to modify the location of the existing building envelope boundary lines. The building envelope will shift to the north and east of the existing platted building envelope (see Attachment 2). The proposed change in the . building envelope location is intended to facilitate construction of a new residence currently being • designed for Lot 3. The applicant has submitted a conceptual site plan illustrating the location of the proposed residence and access thereto (see Attachment 3). II. BACKGROUND r The Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision is zoned Hillside Residential, and is generally located northeast of the main Vail roundabout. The Planning and Environmental Commission approved ° the final plat for the Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision (PEC) on February 11, 1991. The final plat illustrates the location of site specific building envelopes for the fourteen building sites within the subdivision boundaries. On October 9, 1995, the PEC approved a minor subdivision request to modify the building envelope platted on Lot 3. The purpose of modifying the building envelope was to accommodate a new residence that was being designed for Lot 3. III. ZONING ANALYSIS The purpose of the Zoning Analysis depicted below is to provide the PEC with an understanding of the impacts on the development standards for Lot 3, prescribed as plat notes on the Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision final plat. ~ ~ ; istin Proposed • I Lot Area: 88,619 sq. ft. 88,619 sq. ft Buifding Envelope Size: 14,824 sq. ft. 14, 824 sq. ft. GRFA allowance: 8,548 sq. ft. 8,548 sq. ft. Site Coverage: 7,698 sq. n. 7, 698 sq. ft. 'I No development standard will be affected by the proposed change to the building envelope. The only change that will occur will be the reconfiguration of the envelope. IV. MINOR SUBDIVISION CRlTERIA One basic premise of subdivision regulations is that the minimum standards for the creation of a new lot must be met. Although this building envelope amendment involves a minor replatting of an existing lot, ihere is no other process for review of such a request other than the minor subdivision process. As a result, this project will be reviewed under the same criteria, pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The first set of review criteria to be considered by the PEC for a minor subdivision appiication is as follows: A. Lot Ar The Town of Vail Municipal Code indicates that the minimum lot or site area for a • property located within the Hillside Residential zone district, shall be 21,780 sq. ft. (1/2 acre) of buildable area. The Municipal Code defines "buildable area" as any site, lot, parcel or any portion of it, which does not contain designated fioodplain, red hazard avalanche, or areas in excess of 40% slope. The existing Lot 3 r currently meets the minimum lot area requirements set forth above and the " proposed building envelope amendment will not affect the existing size of Lot 3. r B. Fr n e The Vail Municipal Code requires that lots in the Hillside Residential zone district have a minimurn frontage of 50'. Lot 3 currently has a frontage of more than 50' and the proposed building enve(ope amendment will not affect the frontage of ihe tot. C. Qite Dimensions The Vail Municipal Code requires that each site be of a size and a shape capable of enclosing a square area, 80' on each side, within its boundaries. Lot 3 currently meets the size and shape requirement for lots in a Hillside Residential Zone District and the proposed bui(ding enve(ope amendment will not affect the size and shape of the boundaries for t,ot 3. The second set of criteria to be considered with a minor subdivision request is as outlined ~ in the subdivision regulations, and are as follows: a "The burden of proaf shall rest with the applicant to show that the application is in • compliance with the intended purpose of Chapter 17, the zoning ordinance and other 2 . • pertinent regulations that the PEC deems applicable. Due consideration shail be given to the recommendations by public agencies, utility companies and other agencies consulted under Section 17.16.090. The PEC shall review the application and consider its appropriateness in regard to Town policies relating to subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordinances and resolutions and other applicable documents, effects on the aesthetics of the Town, environmental integrity and compatibility with surrounding uses." The subdivision purpose statements are as follows: 1. To inform each subdivider of the standards and criteria by which development and proposals will be evaluated and to provide information as to the type and extent of improvements required. Staff Response: One purpose of subdivision regulations, and any development control, is to establish basic ground rules which the staff, the PEC, applicant and the community can follow in the public review process. Although this request does not involve the creation of a new subdivision, or a resubdivision of an existing parcel or parcels of fand, it is the appropriate process to amend a platted building envelope. 2. To provide for the subdivision of property in the future without conflict with development on adjacent property. . Staff Response: The proposed building envelope amendment would not appear to create any conflict with development on adjacent land. Staff has not yet received a letter of approval from the Spraddle Creek Estates Architectural Controt Committee showing their approval to the applicant's proposed building envelope amendment request. Additionally, staff has _ not received any input from the adjacent property owners to whom (etters ~ of notification were sent, as required by Section 18.66.080 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. r 3. To protect and conserve the value of land throughout the municipality and the value of buildings and improvements on the land. Staff Response: Staff believes that this proposal will not be detrimental to the value of land throughout Vail, nor will it be detrimental to the value of land in the immediate area of Lot 3. 4. To insure that subdivision of property is in compliance with the Town Zoning Ordinance, to achieve a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. Staff Response: Staff believes that the proposed building envelope amendment proposed for Lot 3 will not preclude a harmonious, convenient and workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives. 5. To guide public and private policy and action in order to provide adequate and efficient transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks, playgrounds, recreational and other public requirements and facilities and generally to provide that public facilities will have sufficient capacity to serve the proposed subdivision. 3 Staff Response: The purpose of the subdivision regulations is intended' • primarily to address impacts of {arge scale subdivisions of property, as opposed to this particu{ar proposa4 to amend a building envelope. Staff does not believe that this proposal wilf have any negative. impacts on any of the above listed public facilities. 6. To prov+de for accurate legal descriptions of newly subdivided land and to establish reasonable and desirable construction, design standards and procedures. Staff Response: This is an inherent goal of the subdivision reguiations that is not applicable to the proposed building envelope amendment for Lot 3. 7. To prevent ihe pollution of air, streams, and ponds, to assure adequacy of drainage facilities, to safeguard the water table and to encourage the wise use and management of natural resources throughout the municipality in order to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the community and the value of land. taff Response: Staff feels comfortable with the appHcant's proposed bui(ding envelope amendment on Lot 3. Currently, there are several large aspen trees (1' in diameter) within the envelope. Because of the shift in the building envelope to the north, two of these trees will no longer be within the envelope. Staff believes that the preservation of these two trees is a positive benefit of this request. • Staff believes that shifting the enve(ope closer to the road will decrease the amount of site disturbance due to a potentialiy Iong driveway to access the building envelope. The applicant is now proposing to share part of the , driveway with Lot 4, to the north. Staff believes that this wi11 result in less site disturbance on both lots. r V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the applicanYs request for a minor subdivision to amend the platted building envelope on Lot 3, Spradd(e Creek Estates Subdivision, subject to the following finding: That the request has met the criteria as outlined in Section IV, Minor Subdivision Review Criteria, of this memorandum. The recommendation for approval is subject to the foilowing condition: That the applicant submits to the Town of Vail Department of Community Development, a letter of approval to amend the building envelope on Lot 3, from the Spraddie Creek Architectural Control Committee. ~ ~o? • 4 ~ . 1 ~ USForest 5er'r`ce _ l ~ 1 - - y~ , i "t ~ ~ (~`iJ l"j•. ~ ~ t t~„ ~L..~ ; r' ~ot t NOtth a-...r-~ Y ~ ~i t t v . _ I •rC",~ ` : l' ~ J ~ ~ J ~ 1}~~ _ _ ~ '~J (t` ~ c31C: ' l • ~I ; ~ ~ ti ~ Y .C•' t- "1 ) ~ ` , ~ f!~.•- C. }a S` J~ • J'* ` . ` ~ ~ r ` t `C. ~ • • ~ tot ~ 'v' t C'C. ` ~ ~ ( (~-C ~-j'~I` 4.`~-ti.

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: April 28, 1997 SUBJECT: A request to remove a condition of approval from an approved setback variance, requiring that the exterior walls and roof remain during the remodel process, located at 226 Forest Road/Lot 11 A, Block 7, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: John Kredeit, represented by Bob Zeeb Planner: Lauren Waterton 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REGIUEST On March 13, 1995, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) approved a front setback variance of 13.5 feet to allow approximately 2/3 of an existing carport to be infilled with new GRFA. Roughly one-half of the existing structure is located within the required 20-foot front setback. GRFA exists above the carport and the approval of the variance allowed the carport to be enclosed no further than the existing GRFA above. The north face of the remodeled house at ~ grade level would be 6.5 feet from the front property line. The variance was approved with five conditions. Condition #5 states: "The north-facing portion of the existing roof that extends into the front setback, and the existing roof ridge beam, shall not be demolished or altered except as expressly needed to attach the dormer that projects off the south side of the ridge beam. The main . structural elements of the existing house that form the perimeter, or exterior structural walls of the unit, may no be demolished or altered, and must remain in place throughout the remodel process." The applicant is requesting to remove the above condition from the approved front setback variance. On February 25, 1997, the Town of Vail issued a building permit for a garage addition, remodel to the existing residence and infill of the carport area. The contractor, Zeeb Construction, began demolition of the interior walls and became concerned regarding the condition of the structure. Zeeb Construction hired an independent structural engineer, The MJ Mueller Co., to review the structure. It is the conclusion of ihe consulting structural engineer that "the proposed remodel could be more effectively accomplished if the building were completely demolished and rebuilt..." (see attached letters). The applicant is requesting that the Gandition, as listed above, be removed from the original appraval t4 allow the contractor to dsmalish the walls and roof, and recanstruct the building, with the addition, in its previously approved location (in the front setback). k . , II. BACKGROUND ~ • • On September 9, 1991, the PEC approved a setback variance to infill the carport area in the front setback. The proposal also involved building a new garage, with a one-story addition, that would be directly connected to the main structure. On June 22, 1992, the PEC granted a two-year extension to the approved front.setback variance. On May 23, 1994, the applicant returned to the PEC with a modified version of the earlier approval. This proposal involved an extensive remodel of the existing unit. The carport infill was proposed, along with a stair tower additon to the west end of the house. Part of the stair tower was within the front setback. A buried garage and buried carport were also proposed. Retaining walls greater than the 6-foot height limit were necessary to construct the carport, and the carport was located within the front setback. The PEC unanimously rejected the location of the stair ~ tower and carport in the front setback, but expressed support for the carport infill. On February 27, 1995, the PEC held a worksession to discuss a revised plan that included the infill of the carport, dormer additions on the north side of the structure and a new garage. Part of the addition involved using Additional GRFA (250). At that time, staff was requesting that the applicant reduce the height of the roof by two feet, to bring the building to within the maximum building height requirement. At that meeting, the proposal was revised to eliminate the dormers from the north side of the structure. According to the applicanYs architect, Steve Riden, the remodei (without the dormers) would not affect the roof or other major structural elements of the existing house. According to the staff inemorandum to the PEC on March 13, 1995, staff was in support of the , variance request. Staff stated that the request to infill the carport area, which was below existing GRFA already located in the front setback, did not exceed the current setback encroachment, and would not negatively impact any adjacent properties, and therefore, the request could be supported. The condition of approval was placed on this project because the granting of the , approval was based upan the location of the existing structure. Therefore, it was important that the structure remain in place during the remodel process. The Design Review Board (DRB) approved the Additional GRFA (250) and the remodel on April 19, 1995. On March 5, 1996, staff granted a one-year extension of the DRB approval. ~ 111111. ISSUES The applicant is requesting that the above-listed condition of approval be removed, but that all other aspects of the PEC approval remain in place. It is important ta note that this project is nonconforming in several ways. First, it is nanconforming regarding setbacks. As mentioned previously, approximately one-half of the structure is within the front setback. Second, the main ridge of the building exceeds the maximum building height (33') by approximately 1.7 feet. Third, this is a primary/secondary lot in which the existing two units are not attached, as required by Chapter 18.54 (Design Review). Chapter 18.64 (Nonconforming Sites, Uses, Structures and Site Improvements) of the Vail Municipal Code permits nonconforming structures to remain until the structure is substantially • altered, removed or replaced. Once that occurs, the structure must comply with all applicable development standards. I 2 r i • There are also issues regarding the use of the Additional GRFA (250), as it relates to a . demo/rebuild. An existing structure that is demolished is not eligible to apply for Additional GRFA. The action requested by the applicant will have impacts on the nonconformity. In addition to the action requested, staff has identified three other options that the applicant may pursue, although the applicant is not requesting any of the three options at this time. Staff believes that understanding all the options may be helpful for the PEC in order to evaluate this request. Option 1- Request to remove the condition of approval relating ta the walls and the roof (ApplicanYs current request). Should this option be approved, the applicant would maintain a valid approval for a setback variance. Removing the roof affects the building height. Because the applicant did not receive approval for a building height variance, the removal of the roof would require that the applicant comply with the maximum 33' height limitation, or apply for a building height variance. The original approval did not require that the roof be brought into cornpliance with the height requirement because the roof was not proposed to be altered. However, in this option, the roof is proposed to be modified, and therefore, must be brought into compliance. Additionally, should this be considered a demo/rebuild, the applicant would have no right to use the Additional GRFA (250). Staff response: It is staff's belief that had the applicant originally requested to remove the walls and roof, staff would not have supported the request. Staff's original • recommendation for approval was based upon the location of the existing structure as a unique circumstance for granting the variance. Should the existing structure be removed, the unique circumstances no longer exist. Option 2- Request a new setback variance. The applicant could request a new front setback variance. If approved, this would allow for demolition of the existing structure and construction of a new struciure in a location approved by the PEC. As with Option 1, building height would have to comply with the maximum 33'. Additionally, the applicant would need to provide a connection to the other half of this duplex. Because this would be Gonsidered a demo/rebuild, the applicant would not have the right to apply for the Additional GRFA. S~aff res_.ponse: Staff believes that should the existing striacture be removed, no unique circumstances pertain to this site that would allow for a uariance to the setback requirement. Staff could not support a proposal for a variance of this kind. Optian 3- Submit a new plan that complies with all aspects of zaning. The applicant could submit a new plan for Design Review Board approval. This would involve removing the existing structure and proposing a new plan that involves no variances, and all nonconformities would have to be addressed. These incfude, setbacks, height and connection. No Additianal GRFA (250) vtirould be available since demolishing the structure would be considered a demo/rebuild. 5ta,ff response: This resolves all issues regarding the nonconforming structure. Should it be determined that the building must be demolished, this is staff's recommended course of action. 3 Option 4- Build the addition and remodel as approved. ' • • In this option, the applicant continues construction and builds the addition to comply with the original approval and the requirements of the Uniform Building Code. Staff response: Staff believes that it is possible to build the addition and remodel within the existing structure. The structural engineer states, in his letter, that the remodel could be more "effectively accomplished" if the building were demolished. It is not stated that the remodel cannot be done if the structure was not demolished. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends denial of the applicanYs request to eliminate the condition of approval. Staff recommends that the applicant abide by the original condition, or if the structure must be demolished, revise plans to comply with all development standards, including setbacks, building height and connection. • i I I h 'i~ • 4 t ZEEB CONSTRUCTION, INC.

Waterton, Town Planner Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Krediet Residence 226 Forest Road ~ - Vail, CO 81657 • As you know, Zeeb Construction, Inc. has been awarded the bid to rebuild or remodel the I Krediet residence, referenced above, and is currently under contract to perform the wark I of construction. In regard to that construction, I find that I am caught between the , requirements of the building department and the conflicting requisites of the Planning and Zoning Commission. In the past, I have always diligently complied with any and all conditions set forth by the Planning and Zoning Commission. In the 25 years I have been building in the Vail Valley, I have, however, never before been confronted with a situation quite like this, where compliance with the Commission's requirements would be adverse to the best interest of all involved, including the Town of Vail and the adjacent neighbors. Out of concern for the mutual welfare of all parties, I have retained an independent engineer to evaluate both the proposed project and the existing structure. I have further asked of the engineering consultant to help me formulate a plan to reasonably comply with the Town's codes and concerns. Enclosed for your review, please find a copy of MJ Mueller Company's report, detailing its findings. Sadly, it appears that the only resonable ways to proceed with the project of construction is either to demolish the existing structure in stages or else, more efficiently, to completely demolish the existing building. The latter alternative runs contrary to the conditions imposed upon the project by the Planning and Zoning Commission and, I believe, unfairly burdens the homeowner, Mr. Krediet. Too, the conditions unfairly and unnecessarily burden the adjacent ' •R homeowners. If we are relieved of these burdensome requirements and are allowed to Dan Stanek, Town of Vail " • • ' Lauren E. Waterton, Town Planner March 24, 1997 Page Two proceed with total demolition, we would thereby minimize any and all impacts upon the nearby existing residences. Additionally, if we are to proceed under the "makeshift" requirements imposed, I am genuinely fearful for the safety and welfare of my workers. Further, I fear that if an injury were to occur, that the Town itself my be brought into an action. I feel that the more reasonable and prudent approach would be to consider this project on its own unique merits and subject to its own unique deficits. I believe that this more well-reasoned approach would lead any fair-minded person to conclude that total demolition would have by far less impact upon the community, contribute significantly to the safety and welfare of the workers and serve Mr. Krediet more fairly. I assure you that with the aid of a competent surveyor, we can locate the new residence in precisely the same spot upon which the existing structure now resides. In so doing, we would be in full compliance with all relevant planning and zoning requirements. Please consider that any and all delays contribute significantly to Mr. Krediet's costs, as well as to Zeeb Construction's bottom line. Accordingly, may I respectfully implore you • to contact me at your earliest convenience so we may discuss a mutually saisfactory resolution to the unfortunate set of circumstances as they now exist. full s, ' 4RobZeeb, President ' sw cc: Rohn K.

PO Box 1997 Avon, Colorado 81620 Subject: Construction Feasibility Inspection THE KREDIET RESIDENCE 226 Forest Road Vail, Colorado , Dear Bob: ~i At your request, this office has conducted a visual inspection of the existing structure of the above referenced project, and reviewed construction documents as prepared by Steven James Riden ~ dated 1-31-97 and approved by the Town of Vail Community Development Department, for the proposed remodel. The purpose of the inspection and plan review is to determine the feasibility of the proposed remodel with respect to the present condition of the existing structure and approval conditions of the Town of Vail. The drywal.l has been removed from the upper two level.s of the structure for visual inspectiQn. The following items are to be noted: a) CONDITION OF EXISTING STRUCTURE The existing building was constructed in or around 1963, and was constructed in accordance with the building codes as adopted at that time. The 1991 Uniform Building Code as presently adopted by the Town of Vail Building Department is significantly more consciences of life-safety items, than the code that the original building was constructed under. As an example, the design snow load was 40 psf, the present design snow load is 80 psf. Many areas of structural distress have been exposed in the existing roof framing system, including the roof supporting structure down through the building. Inadequate 2x4 exterior wall construction, substandard diaphragm insulation, failed framing details, and undersized structural members are some of the other major concerns with this existing structure that will require structural review. The engineer-of-record and the general contractor must coordinate the extent of structural upgrade that will be - civil architectura{ and structural engineering 9 p.o. box 2747 vaif, coforado 81658 476-2627 476-2637 (FAX) ~ • Page 2 Mr. Robert Zeeb - 21 March 1997 required by the Town of Vail Building Department for this , particular project, if a partial remodel is to be completed. b} APPROVED BUILDING CONCEPT The existing structure is a 3-story wood framad building bearing upon a poured-in-place concrete foundation with a ' slab-on-grade walkout basement level. The approved proposed structure is a 2-story wood framed building, with all the floors at elevations different than the original floor elevations. The basement slab-on-grade f loor elevation has been dropped 2 feet further into the ground than presently exists. The exterior finishes including but not limited to windaw units and their locations, stone wrap, siding, roof fascia, etc. are all being removed and upgraded. Condition . #5 of the Planning and Environmental Commission approval of the front setback variance tor this proposed remodel, states that, "The main structural elements of the existing house that . form the perimeter, or exterior structural walls of the unit, may not be demolished or altered, and must remain in-place : . throughout the remodel process." c) APPROVED BUILDING PROCESS The building process for this remodel, when following the appraval conditions mentioned above, requires that all the elements of the existing structure be temporarily supported _ while each structural element beneath is replaced or reinforced. Condition #5 is nearly impossible to conform with since the floors are being moved to different elevations, portions of the exterior walls will have to be replaced to maintain wall continuity from floor to floor. The lowering of the b asement flo or requires that the existing foundation wall be segmentally underpinned to maintain the existing foundation system. The modification of the interior floor elevations causes the degree of complexity and difficulty in ' this remodel to increase dramatically. When such a scope of remodel in the interior structure occurs, it is an industry " standard and general.ly more realistic, to consider the option of completely rebuilding the entire structure. Especially, when considering the overall condition of this existing structure. In conclusion, it is the opinion of this office, that the proposed ~ remodel could be more effectively accomplished if the building were completely demolished and rebuilt in the exact same position as the + . 4 • Page 3 I Mr. Robert Zeeb 21 March 1997 _ existing building. A local surveyor could be retained to verify the exact location of the existing building, correct placement of the new building before pouring the concrete footings, before pouring the concrete foundation walls, and after completion of the roof framing. The new building can be• constructed more safely, quickly, cost-effectively, and in camplete compliance with the present 1991 UBC as adopted by the Town of Vail, than the proposed remodel of the existing building. Potential site concerns such as bedrock and groundwater can be addressed more properly when the existing building has been completely removed. The overall quality of the campleted project, will be increased by completely rebuilding the original building, rather than completing a piece- by-piece remodel of the existing building. This office was not involved with the design, planning, or approval I process with respect to this project. The involvement of this . aff ice regarding the feasibility of the proposed remodel, daes not in any way warranty the architecture or engineering represented in e. the construction documents, or insure compliance with any past or present building or zoning codes. The architecture and engineering ~ represented in the construction documents are the responsibility af the architect-of-record and the engineer-of-record.

Appiicant: John Krediet Planner: Randy Stouder :':,Y:.:•;>::::::5 1. DESCRIPTiON OF THE VARtANCE REQUESTED The applicant is proposing a major remodel of the existing primary residence. The proposal involves filling-in approximately 2/3 of the existing carport with new GRFA, and constructing a ' buried garage with a two-story addition on top. The garage addition would be connected to the main house by a two-story enclosed walkway. The garage would be accessed with a new, relatively flat driveway (see attached site plan). ~ Roughly the front 1/2 of the existing structure is located within the 20-foot front setback. Although the applicant is not proposing to add GRFA any closer to the front praperty iine than the existing unit, the applicant is proposing GRFA additions to portions of the existing ' structure that are currently located within the front setback. The GRFA addit+ons include areas on the side of the existing chimney (second floor only) and the infill of approximately 2/3 of the carport area. The applicant also proposes to add stone arches, columns and stone ~ veneer to the first story of the remodeled house, adding mass and bulk in the front setback, producing a minor additional encroachment toward the front property line. i The existing carport is located within 7 fee# of the front property line, in the front setback. Thus, the request to infill the carport with new GRFA would require approval of a front setback variance of 13 feet. The stane veneer, supporting columns and stone arches proposed at the first floor level would expand the exterior of the house an additional 0.5 feet into the front setback along the north elevation. The stone arches and columns would also widen the first floor of the house up to 1.5 feet (east to west) in the front setback. Thus, the request to infill the carport and add stone work to the first floor level of the house adds GRFA and mass and bulk in the front setback, and requires approval of a front setback variance of 13.5 feet. The north face of the remodeled house at grade level would be (ocated 6.5 feet from the front property line. The existing chimney is located within 5 feet of the front property line, in the front setback, at the second level of the house. Thus, the existing front setback ~ i • encroachment, related to the chimney, is 15 feet. The request to widen the chimney at the second level does not produce further encroachmen# toward the front property line, but it does add GRFA and additional mass and bulk within the front setback and thus requires approval of a front setback variance. 11. WORKSESSiON ISSUES (2/27/95 PEC) At the previous meeting the PEC gave the applicant specific direc#ion. The PEC was unanimous with regards to the following: 1. The carport infill in the front setback was acceptable as proposed; 2. The addition of a dormer in the front setback, above the plane of the existing roof, was not acceptable; 3. The small additionat encroachment into the front setback for the stone veneer on the first level addition was acceptable; 4. The encroachment of the expanded or widened chimney (second level only) into the front setback was also acceptable. III. ZONtNG CONSIDERATtONS The property is zoned Primary/Secondary Residential, with a site area of 22,263 square feet. Allowed/Required Existin Proposed • GRFA: Primary: 3,111 sq. h. 2,196 sq. ft. 3,361 sq. h." Secondary: 2,215 sq. ft. 1,875 sq. ft. 1,875 sq. ft. Total Allowable: 5,326 sq. R. 4,071 sq.

The secondary unit has not used its 250 GRFA allotmeni. If approved, this remodel to ihe primary unit will use up all the available GRFA and all of its 250 GRFA allotment. " Existing ridge on primary unit exceeds current height limit and is thus legal nonconforming by 1.7'. "fhe applicant does nat propose io alter that portion of the existing roof that is nonconforming. All additions to the structure conform to the current height restriction. The applicanl is requesting variances of 13.5', 15' and 13.5' into the front setback for the carpon infill with stone veneer, the chimney ~ widening, and the addition of supporting columns/arches, respectively. • . 2 {V. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS - . ~ Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipa! Code, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested variances based on the following factors: A. Considerat+on ot Factors: / 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. The requested front setback variance for the carport infill, if approved, would not adversely affect the use or enjoyment of adjacent properties. The existing structure encroaches 13 feet into the required 20-foot front setback. Previously, a different driveway configuration existed which allowed residents of the primary unit to pull-through the carport area and continue across the adjacent secondary unit fot and exit onto Forest Road. The owner of the secondary unit approached the PEC to reconfigure the driveway and eliminate the pull-through. The PEC granted the request, which reconfigured the parking area on the secondary unit and eliminated the pu!!-through drive. This approval produced an ur+desirable situation with the primary unit, since the applicant currently backs out onto Forest Road via an extremely steep driveway section. Staff ` feels that the proposal to change the driveway as reflected on the proposed site plan, is a significant improvement to the existing situation. The new driveway and garage render the current carport area unnecessary. Thus, staff feels that • infilling this area with GRFA is acceptable. The additional GRFA in the front I setback would not be perceived as additional mass and bulk due to its location ,i under the cantilevered living space above and due to the openness of the entry ' patio area. ' Adding a stone veneer, widening the chimney and adding supporting columns/arches produces an additional 6-inch encroachment into the front setback. Widening the chimney and the first story facade adds a small amount of additional mass and bulk in the front setback, but does not produce further • encroachment toward the front property line. Staff feels that the encroachments are minor and will have no impact on adjacent structures or uses. 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 privilege. Staff feels that approving the carport infill is consistent with treatment given to other applicants throughout the Town. Where existing structures already encroach into setback areas, the PEC has allowed minor GRFA additions to be placed in the setback as long as it does not exceed the current limits of encroachment, nor does it negatively impact adjacent properties. This has occurred on a limited basis throughout Town and has generally been supported . 3 • by staff and the PEC. Granting a setback variance to infill the carport is considered by staff to be acceptable since GRFA already cantilevers over this area. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. Staff feels that the addition of the garage and new driveway are positive improvements that will improve public safety, since the current unsafe driveway configuration and slope will be eliminated. B. The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq findinqs before qrantinq a variance: 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. 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 or more of the following reasons: , a. The strict fiteral 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 apply 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. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested front setback variances based on our review of the application in the criteria and findings section of this memorandum. If the PEC decides to approve the variance requests, staff recommends that the foNowing conditions be placed on the approval: - 1. Final Design Review Baard (DRB) approval of an additional 250 GRFA ~ a(lotment shall be obtained. 4 2. Finai review and approval of the site pian by the Public Works lDepartment shaii • be obtained prior to issuance of a bui(ding permit. 3. An exterior lighting plan shail be submitted, reviewed and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. The remodeled house shall not encroach further into the front setback than the existing building overhang depicted on the property survey, with the one exception that a six-inch stone veneer may be added to the first story facade. 5. The north-facing portion of the existing roof that extends into the front setback, and the existing roof ridge beam, shall not be demolished or altered except as expressly needed to attach the dormer that projects off the south side of the ridge beam. The main structural elements of the existing house that form the perimeter, or exterior structural walls of the unit, may not be demolished or altered, and must remain in-place throughout the remodel process. ~ i:\everyone\pec\rnemoslkrediet.313 . • 5 . • , • ` ~ - - - ~ I (so• R.o w.)

Applicant: Nancy Ricci, represented by Galen Aasland Planner: Andy Knudtsen Andy presented the project per the staff memo. Andy presented, on page 2 of the memo, five other examples requiring this type of approval. Andy expressed concern about the original size of the variance and that the applicant had decreased square footage to bring the site coverage variance within the range of previous projects. Staff recommends approval with three conditions on page 5. Greg Amsden asked for public input, there was none. Bob Armour motioned that a request for a site coverage variance to allow for an addition to the Ricci Residence located at 2576 Davos Trail/Lot 5, Block E, Vail Das Schone 1 st Filing be approved with the staff's conditions on page 5 of the staff memo. Jeff Bowen seconded. Vote 6-0. • 6. A request for a front setback variance to allow for the redevelopment of a residence located at 226 Forest Road/Lot 11-A, Block 7, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: John Krediet, represented by Steven Riden ' Planner: Randy Stouder Randy presented the project per the staff inemo. Building overhang is 7' from front property line, chimney and stone veneer is .5' from frant property line, stone work extends beyond overhang. This would allow more of the front building in the setback. Three areas of intrusion into the front setback 13'5" and 16' for front of house. Conditions, level of demo, nonconforming currently. No additional height in front setback, applicant has removed dormers that would have extended above that level. Staff recommends approval, reshingling roof. Greg Amsden stated the Commission hadn't had many questions since items were addressed from the last meeting. Bob Armour asked about driveway elevation. Steven Riden, project architect, replied that Forest Road is about a foot and a half down from garage. Jeff made a motion to approve a request for a front setback variance to allow for the redevelopment of a residence located at 226 Forest Road/Lot 11-A, Block 7, Vail Village 1 st Filing in accordance with the conditions which are contained on page 4 and 5 of the staff inemorandum. Kevin Deighan abstained due to a conflict of interest. Vote 5-0-1. • Greg Amsden requested a 15 minute break before the next item. Planning and Ernironmental Commisston March 13,1995 Minutes 4 • MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environrnental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: April 28, 1997 SUBJECT: An appeal of an administrative decision determining that the Vail Run tennis bubble is a seasonal structure. The property is located at 1000 Lionsridge Loop (Vail Run). Appellant: Vail Run Condominium Association, represented by Larry Eskwith Planner: Dominic Mauriello . • 1. SUBJECT PROPERTY SDD #5 Vail Run/Simba Run, located at 1000 Lionsridge Loop. II. STANDING OF APPELLANT Staff believes the appellant has standing to file an appeal in this case as they are the owner of ihe subject property. , IN. BACKGROUND On December 16, 1975, Vail Run and what is now Simba Run and Savoy Villas was annexed into the Town. Upon annexation, the existing development consisted of the Vail Run Building, a swimming pool, and three tennis courts, two of which were covered. Upon annexation the property J was zoned Residential Cluster. The owner of the property at that time filed a lawsuit against the Town charging confiscatory zoning because the zoning did not recognize the Eagle County approved development plan (effectively a down zoning of the property). ~ The property owner, in order to resolve the court case, applied for an SDD and received approval on March 2, 1976 (Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1976) for 2.54 acres (only the Vail Run portion of the i property). This approval simply recognized the previously nonconforming uses, as conforming. SDD #5 recognized the 55 dwelling units, 18,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, a swimming pool, and three tennis courts (see Attachment A). On December 20, 1977, the Town Counc+l approved the first amendment to SDD #5 to add lots cornprising 6.3 acres for a total of 8.84 acres. The Vail Run portion of the site is referred to as Development Area "A" and the remainder af the site was referred to as Development Area "B." This approval (Ordinance No. 29, Series of 1977) allowed the developments on this property to be joined together as a unified development. Under Section 8"Special Provisions," Subsection C "Recreational Amenities" it states the following: (1) A minimum of five additional tennis courts (Development Area A presently has three tennis courts two of them covered during the winter season). [emphasis added] (see Attachment B) . ~ In 1993 (Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1993) and 1995 (Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1995, see 1 TOWN *VAIL .7.. L a , ' Attachment C) amendments to SDD #5 were approved and both contain the exact same language • i as indicated above. In the period between the establishment of SDD #5 in 1976 and the date of the first amendment in 1977, the Town adopted a definition of a"recreation structure" and a''seasonal use or structure." The following are the definitions for these structures as found in the code: "Recreation structure" means any covering erected over a recreational amenity, such as a swfrnming pool or tennis court, which is not a seasonal structure. For the purposes of this Title, recreation structures shall constitute site coverage but shall not be subject to building bulk control standards. Any recreation structure shall require a conditional use permit in accord with Chapter 18.60. "Seasonal use or structure" means a temporary covering erected over a recreational amenity, such as a swimming pool or tennis court, for the purpose of expanding their Lase to ~ the cold weather months. Such seasonal covers may not be in place for more than seven ; (7) consecutive months of any twelve (12) month period. For the purposes of this Title, a seasonal use or structure shall not constitute site coverage and shall not be subject to building bulk control standards. Any seasonal use or structure shall require a conditional use permit in accord with Chapter 18.60. According to Town records, the tennis "bubble" has never been removed during the summer months. IV. NATURE OF THE APPEAL On April 4, 1997, during the review of an SDD amendment affecting the tennis courts submitted by • the appellant, staff determined that the "bubble" is a seasonal structure based on the language in the SDD ordinance for this development. The ordinance states that "two of them [tennis courts] ~ [are] covered during the winter season." Staff believes that although the language does not r specifically state that the structure must be "a seasonal structure," it does recognize the covering " (tennis "bubble") as a seasonal structure. , The appellant has filed an appeal of this decision contending the following (see appeal form Attachment D): a. The cover over the tennis courts is a prior existing legal nonconforming structure which is not required to be removed at any time. b. The cover over the tennis courts is a Recreational Structure as defined by the Zoning Code which states: "Recreation structure means any covering erected over a recreational amenity, such as a swimming pool or tennis courts which is not a seasonal structure." Staff Response: Staff beiieves that once a parcel of land or a development becomes incorporated into a Special Development District it can no longer be considered "nonconforming" due to annexation or any other code modification, uniess specifically made nonconforming in the ordinance approving the ` SDD. The deveiopment plan and ordinance for an SDD allows those uses and structures contained in the developrnent. Therefore, once these structures became part of SDD #5 they are considered part of the development plan and hence conforming. ~ The fact that the structure has never complied with the ordinance (by not being removed for 5 months of the year) does not mean that it therefore becomes "grandfathered." 2 ti ^ a . • V. RECIUIRED ACTION Uphotd/Overturn/Modify staff's interpretation of the covering over the two tennis courts located at Vail Run as a seasonal structure. The Planning and Environmental Commission is required to make findings of fact in accordance with Section 18.66.030 (5) shown below: ! 5. Findings. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall on all appeals make specific findings of fact based directly on the particular evidence presented to it. These findings of fact must support conclusions that the standards and conditions imposed by the requirements of this title have or have not been met. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION , Staff recommends that the PEC uphold the staff's decision and recommends that the PEC make the following findings: 1. The language contained in Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1995, requires the cover over the two tennis courts, to not be erected more than 7 consecutive months in a 12 month period. , 2. That the standards and conditions imposed by the requirements of Title 18 (Zoning) and Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1995, have not been met. ~ FAeveryone\pec4nemo\vail run 1.428 I J r f l~ 3 J a " • ORDINAiJCE PaO. 6 • Series of 1976 AN ORDINAf•ICE ESTA6LISHING SPECIAL DEVELOPi4ENT DISTRICT 5 AND AMENOING 7HE ZOWING QRDINA;dCE Ah1D THE OFFICIAL ZONING h1AP. 4lHEREAS, Article 1, Section 1.201, of the Zaning Ordinance, Ordinance \ iVo. 8, Series of 1973, of the Toti•rn of Vail, Colorado, as anended, established • thirteen zoning districts for the municipality, one o` which is the Special r Development Oistrict.

Applicant contends that the cover over the tennis courts is a Recreational Structure as defined by the Zoning Code which states a: "Recreational Structure means any covering erected over a recreational amenity, such as a swimming pool or tennis rourts which is not a seasonal structure."

Applicant: Vail Run Condominium Association, represented by Larry Eskwith Planner: Dominic Mauriello ' 1. BACKGROUND AND DESGRIPTION OF THE REGIUEST Vail Run was annexed into the Town of Vail in December of 1975. Soon after (March of 1976) the owner of the properry applied for and received approval for a Special Development District on the properry (2.54 acres). The SDD contained the existing improvements; the Vail Run Building, a swimming pool, and three tennis courts, two of which were covered. The ordinance ~ (Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1976) simply recognized the existing improvements, placed limitations on the fioor area of the building and provided for permiited, accessory, and conditional uses. On December 20, 1977, the Town Council approved the first amendment to SDD #5. This , amendment added 6.3 acres to the SDD and provided a unified development for the entire site. ~ The 1977 ordinance repealed ihe previous ordinance and required recreational amenities f4r the ~ entire site. The current regulating ordinance for this development, Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1995 (attached), contains similar language regarding recreational amenities on the property. f Throughout Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1995, tennis facilities are referred to or required. On Ipage 9 of the ordinance, paragraph (D), there are requirements for recreational amenities. This section specifically requires tennis courts. The applicant is requesting to remove the language requiring that the recreationa( amenities be ~ tennis facilities so that other recreational uses can be substituted for the tennis courts. Specifically, the applicant is requesting that the two covered courts be converted to other recreational uses as permitted by the accessory uses in the ordinance. Section 6(D) I of the ordinance (page 5), provides for accessory uses: 1. Indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, including, but not limited to, swimming pools, tennis courts, handball, and squash courts and similar recreational facilities. 1 A TO~YIVOFYAIG - AThe applicant contends that these tennis courts are no longer used by the public or the guests of • Vail Run. Many other tennis facilities exist in the Town of Vail, and they would like the opportunity to cliange recreational uses in order to respond to the needs and desires ofi their guests (applicanYs statement attached). It should be noted that the SDD requires that these tennis courts be available to the general public on a fee basis. This development was allowed to pay a lower recreational amenity tax based on the existence of these facilities. It. GRITERIA TO BE USED IN EVALUATING TNIS PROPOSAL As stated in the zoning code, the purpose of the special development district is to: encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land in order to ` promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and qualiry of new development within the town; to facilitate ihe adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in ihe Vai! Com rehensive Plan. An a roved develo ment I n r i p pp p p a fo a spec al development district, in conjunction with a property's underlying zone district, shall establish the requirements for guiding development and uses of property included in the special development district." The following are the nine special development district criteria to be ut+lized by the Planning and Environmental Commission when evaluating SDD amendment proposals: ~ A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. ~ Staff does not believe that the proposed amendment will have negative impacis to this criterion. Staff be(ieves that the tennis facilities could be converted to other recreational uses and appropriately planned and buffered to be compatible with the neighborhood. Staff does have a concern about the use of the "bubble" for other uses. The "bubble" does not currently meet Building Code requirements for accessibility and other safety standards. Also, the SDD ordinance treats this structure as a seasonal structure and therefore any other use of the "bubble" will be required to adhere to the seasonal structure requirements (removed part of the year). B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Staff believes that other recreational facilities can be provided which will be an asset to the community, as well as to this development. Through discussions with the applicant, staff is concerned that the applicant will return with a request for a "recreational use" which may be a commercial operation and not a pub(ic amenity. Although we have not received an application, staff believes that it is the intent of the applicant to use the bubble as a skier training facility (the facility is currently a 2 • under construction and has been red tagged). This is a facility where one could pay a fee the learn how to ski. We agree that skiing is a recreational amenity, but we have concerns as to whether this commerciai operation is, in fact, a recreational amenity. C. Compliance with the parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 18.52. Parking couid be impacted by a change in the type of recreational use. The existing site does not provide parking for the tennis facilities. These courts are available on a fes basis to the public as required by the ordinance. These tennis facilities have a low parking requirement due to the number of potential players on a court. Other recreational uses could generate the need for additional parking. For example, a soccer facility (indoor or outdoor) would have a greater parking need than tennis, due to the number of players and potentia( vehicles. Any ~ request for a change in recreational use will need to be evaluated for parking implications. D. Conformity with appticable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plans. Staff believes this criterion is not affected by this proposal. ~ E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geotogic hazards that affect the property on which the special devetopment district is proposed. Staff believes this criterion is not affected by this proposal. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural ~ • features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. f , Staff believes that the existing "bubble" may have a negative aesthetic impact on ' the area. Any subsequent changes to any recreational facility will require analysis as to the impact to this criterion and the neighborhood. G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. Staff betieves that this criterion could become an issue if a change in recreational use creates the need for more parking. Any change in use wi11 require an analysis as to parking and circulation impacts. H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. Staff believes that this criterion could become an issue if a change in recreational ~ use creates the need for additional buffering or screening due to impacts to 4 adjacent properties. Any change in use wi11 require analysis as to open space and " landscape screening. 3 ~ T 1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan #hat w111 maintain a workable, functional and • efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. This criterion is not applicable. IIt. STAFF RECOMMENDATION ~ The staff is recommending approval of the applicanYs request for a major modification to Special Development District No. 5, subject to the foilowing finding: ; 1. That the proposed SDD amendment complies with the nine desi9n criteria as stated herein subject to specific review of proposed changes to recreational uses.

The Town of Vail Ordinance establishing SDD 5 described existing uses and development standards for a fully constructed building. Section 3(B) of Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1995, which amended. and restated Special Development District No. 5, describes the Vaii Run building as consisting of 55 dwelling units, approximately 18,000 square feet of commercial space, a swimming-pool and three tennis courts... " Section G(D)(i) of Ordnance No. 7 provides that, "Indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, including but not limited to swimming pool, tennis courts, handball and squash courts and similar recreational facilities", are permitted accessory uses for the Vail Run development. " Section 9(D)(1) of Ordnance No. 7 requires Development Area B (Simba Run) to have "a minimum of five additional tennis courts and ~ refers to Development Area A(Vail Run) as presently having "three tennis courts with two of them covered during the winter season". r .--Two of the Vail Run tennis courts are covered by an air structure, • while the third is not covered. Since the construction of the Vail Run tennis courts, numerous other tennis courts have been constructed in the' Town of Vail, including both uncovered and covered courts at the Racquet ; Club and the Cascade Club and uncovered courts at the Cascade Village Hotel, Recreation District courts throughout the Town and courts at the Potato Patch Club. Consequently, the tennis courts at Vail Run are almost never used by the members of the Vail Run Condominium Association, their guests or members of the general public. Applicant would like Ordinance No. 7 amended to eliminate any language compelling the applicant to use the area under the air structure for two tennis courts. The Vail Run Condominium Association would like the ability to utilize the area within the air structure, presently occupied by the tennis courts, for other recreational facilities permitted by Section 6(D)(1) of the Ordinance which would enjoy more use and be of greater benefit to members of the Association and the general public. It makes no sense to compel the Vail Run Condominium Association to keep and maintain tennis courts which are not , used. Moreover, to allow the Condominium Association to utilize the area within the air structure for recreational facilities, which would • "hAd more appeal for members of the Association and the general public, , and therefore generate more use, would be beneficial and in no way detrimental to the Town of Vail. w ~ ZONING ANALYSIS The Vail Run Building presently consists of 54 residential units containing a total of 47,074 square feet, approximately 18,000 square feet of commercial space, a swimming pool, and three tennis courts. A total of 118 parking spaces are presently appurtenant to the Vail Run Building. 61 of the parking spaces are uncovered and located to the north of the building, 14 are uncovered and located to the south of the building, and there are 43 covered spaces in a garage under the building. The Applicants's Amendment to the Special Development District proposes no additional densities, and no additional parking. The Applicant is requesting an amendment to the Ordinance establishing Special Development District No. 5 which would allow the Applicant to ' utilize the area inside the presently existing air structure for permitted recreational purposes other than tennis. ~ ~-1 r 1 w • q , MEMORANDUM ~ TO: Pianning and Environmentai Commission I FROM: Comrnunity Development Department DATE: April 28, 1997 SUBJECT: A request for a conditional use permit, to allow twenty-four Type III EHUs for seasonal employee housing, located at 1309 Vail Valley Drive/legally described as (Public Works Facility): beginning at ihe Northwest corner of Section 9, Township 5 South, Range 80 west of the Sixth Principal Meridian thence S 89°31'49" E 2333.84 feet, along the North line of said Section 9, to a point on the northerly right-of-way fence line of Interstate Highway No. 70 thence along the northerly right-of-way fence line of Interstate Highway No. 70 as follows: S 67°41'33" W 415.82 feet; thence S78013'02" W 1534.29 feet, to a point of curvature; thence 456.43 feet on a curve to the right with a radius of 5580.00 feet, the chord of which bears S80°33'38" W 456.30 feet to a point on the Westerly line of said Section 9: thence departing the northerly right-of-way fence line of Interstate Highway No. 70 and following the Westerly line of said Section 9, North 00°8'21 "E 565.11 feet to the point of beginning.

REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THIS REGIUEST In addition to the conditional use criteria, staff has included the purpose statement from the zoning code, as we believe this will help the PEC in its evaluation of the request. The Public Works employee housing is located in the General Use (GU) zone district. According to Section 18.36.010 of the zoning code, the purpose of the GU district is: . • 2 • "to provide sites for pubiic and quasi-public uses which, because of their special characieristics, cannot be apAropriately regulated by the devefopment standards prescribed by other zoning districts, and for which development standards especiafly prescribed for each particular development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in Section 18.02.020 and to provide for the public welfare. The General Use District is intended to ensure that pubiic buildings and grounds and certain types of quasi-public uses permitted in the District are appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, anci, in cases of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses." Type III Employee Housing Units may be permitted in the GU 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 flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title* sAecified 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 condiiions and limitations as the Town may prescribe to insure that the location and operation of the conditionai 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." The conditional use permit consideration of factors are as follows: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. Staff beleives that the proposed development will have a positive impact on the development objectives of the Town. The Town has deterrnined ~ that the provision of employee housing and seasonal employee housing to be goals in several planning documents, including the Vail Land Use Plan. 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 proposed facility will have minor impacts on these issues. The propasal will provide housing far workers wha will generally work out af this site, therefore reducing traffic impacts especially during peak hours. The development includes some areas for recreation which wil( be an asSet to the project and the Town as a whole. The proposal wili have minima(, if any, impacts to utilities or schools. 3 , 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and controi, access, - i maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. , As stated above, the proposed iocation allows occupants to essentiaAy live at work. This wiil reduce the need for workers to travel to and from the site during peak hours. However, pedestrian access through the I-70 tunnel will likely increase. The proposai includes improving vehicular and pedestrian access through the tunnel, by improving lines of site, grades, and providing a 5' wide paved pedestrian path. Additionally, the development has been properly planned to include areas for snow storage. ' Overall, staff believes the project design has adequately addressed these issues. 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. The proposed building is a three-story structure that appears as a typical apartment building. The other buildings found on-site are industriaf in nature and therefore this building wiil be compatible with the other structures on-site. The character of the building is not "Alpine" in nature and would not probably be compatible in other areas of the Town. The building appears to be well suited to the site and for the purpose it is being ° constructed. However, the building will be visible across the valley and . the DRB and PEC should consider this in their review of the project. ~ The building is one single structure and therefore presents a large mass on the site. Staff beleives that the correct use of landscape materials and other building accents, such as decks, could help reduce the perceived ' bulk and mass of the structure. • Overall staff believes that this criterion has been addressed by the development. The conditional use permit findings are as follows: The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the followina findinqs before qranting a conditional use pe~rmit: 1. That the proposed location af the use is in accordance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes afi the district in which the site is located. 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 impravements in the vic+nity. 3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. • 4 • IV. tSSUES ADDRESSED Below are issues brought up at the March 24 and April 14 worksessions with the PEC. 1. Building Location/Building HeighiNiew Analysis The building is proposed on the east end of the Public Works property. The building is proposed along a natural bench area on this portion of the site and appears to be the iogical location for this structure. Staff also believes this is the appropriate area of the site for housing as it is located farthest away from the more industrial eiements of the site. The applicant is proposing a building height of approximately 34.8' from finished grade and 30.8' from existing grade. For reference, the High Density Multiple Family zone district allows up to 48' in building height for a sloped roof building and the Medium Density Multiple Family zone district allows up to 38' in building height for a sloped roof building. Staff believes the proposed building height is appropriate for this site. The applicant has provided a cross section through the property showing the relationship of building height to the elevation of I-70. The view analysis provides 3 photographs taken from 3 different public locations along Vail Valley Drive. The proposed structure was superimposed on the photographs at the proper scale. It is clear from this analysis that the upper two floors of the structure will be visible from this area of town. It is also clear from this analysis that the parking will not be very visible on the site from the "public" spaces across the va(ley. 2. Architectural Compatibility ~ The site is currently developed with industrial type buildings and administrative offices. Therefore, architectural compatibility with ather structures on-site is not necessarily desirable. The proposed building form is a three-story structure. The building has been further articulated by providing off-sets and voids which help to break-up the perceived bulk and mass of the structure. The PEC had some concerns regarding the suitability of the overall architecture in the Town as a whole. The applicant has provided more wood elements on the fascia and around windows to make the building appear more in character with the Town of Vail. The PEC, ' however, should concentrate on the overall bulk and mass of the buifding and any issues related to materiafs should be left with the Design Review Board. The issue of exterior decks came up at the Previous meetings. It was discussed that decks would serve several purposes. To help break-up the overall bulk and mass of the building, to , make the dwelling units more livable and to improve the design of the building. The applicant has chosen not to provide decks on the building. Staff believes that decks in some areas would be an asset to the project by providing variety and interest to the building, making these very srnall units more livable, and further, that decks would provide additional wood elements to the building making it more "alpine" in nature. The roof line of the building has not changed since the last PEC worksession. A flat section of ~ roof has been provided in order to break the building into what is perceived as two structures. Staff believes the previous roof line, which contained a sloped roof over this proposed flat area, was more appropriate and aesthetic. A lighting plan and color samples wi(I be required as part of the DRB review of this project. 5 • S . 3. Landscape Plan . The applicant has provided a larrdscape pian which provides 29 evergreens, ranging in size from 6' to 10' in height and 19 Aspens at 2" caliper. The pian provides for planted landscape areas within the parking lot. Staff believes the landscape areas are a very positive addition to the project. The PEC/DRB suggested at a worksession that the proposed trees should be substantial in size, especiatly in front of the building. The plan also provides site improvements to the recreation area to the west of the building. These improvements include a volleyball court, picnic tables, and a grill. Access to this area is provided via a foot path. 4. Snow Storage The site plan shows areas to be used for snow storage on-site. The areas provided are appropriately planned. The current standard being applied on private developments is that snow storage areas shall equal 30% of the paved area. The driveway and parking area for this development equal approximately 11,300 sq. ft. and the proposed snow storage areas equal approximately 3,370 sq. ft. (30%). 5. Retaining WaNs The proposed plan will contain several retaining walls. The standard applied to developments in the Town (in accordance with Section 18.58.020 "Fences, hedges, walis, and screening") is a maximum height of 6' for retaining walls. The GU district (Section 18.36.060 "Additional ` development standards") requires compliance with this standard. All proposed retaining walls are less than 6' in height and the majority of the walls are less than 4' in height. . 6. Solid Waste Disposal The plan provides for the location of a dumpster for this development. The proposed location is below the upper-level parking grade and is enclosed on 4 sides. Tenants will drop trash into the durnpster from above, as the dumpster enclosure does not have a roof covering. Staff is ' concerned about not having a roofed enclosure. Without a roof, snow wi!l accumulate in ihe enclosure and cause a maintenance problem. Siaff is also concerned that without a roof the wind will blow trash out of the dumpster. A roof will also provide an extra level of screening for occupants on the upper stories of the building. Consideration should also be given to "bear- proofing" the enclosure. 7, Sife Access This site is accessed via the tunnel below I-70. This tunnel is a constrained roadway with a width of 20'. Ideally, this access should be wider, however, to widen this tunnel, if allowed by CDOT, it would be very costly. Staff and the applicant have met with CDOT and have received approval from CDOT for the development without additional requirements, either to the S. Frontage Road or the underpass. The approach to the tunnel has been improved (on the north side of the tunnel) which will impravs visibility, lessen grade, and reduce the chance of accidents. Improvements are also proposed along the S. Frontage Road in order to improve (ines of site when exiting the Public Works site. a, 6 • • 8. Pedestrian and Bus Access As expla+ned above, the access through this tunnel is less than perfect. By providing housing on this site, the EHU occupants must have safe pedestrian/bicycle access through this tunnel. The applicant is proposing a 5' wide paved pedestrian/bike access through the tunnel to the S. Frontage Road. The persons occupying the emp(oyee housing may rely on public transit to get around Town (probably more so than the general public). The applicant has indicated that a bus stop will be provided near the Pulis Bridge on the Golf Course route in order to allow convenient bus access. This stap will be known as the Pulis Bridge bus stop. There will not be a bus stop structure provided. This witl be a"request only" bus stop. 9. Environmental Hazards A portion of the Public Works site is located in a High Severity Rockfall Hazard and Debris Flow Moderate Hazard. The proposed site for the housing is not located in the identitied hazard area and staff has reviewed a preliminary hazard report which states that the proposed housing site is not affected by the hazard. A final hazard report will be provided prior to the issuance of a buiJding permit. 10. Hisforical Resources There is a remnant of an old log cabin on the site. This structure may be from the turn of the century. The applicant has shown this structure on the site plan and it is outside of the area , being graded on-site and therefore wili not be disturbed. ~ 11. Phasing Plan ; !t has been indicated by the applicants that some of the improvements may be phased over the next two years in order to have enough capital to complete the improvements. The Town has allowed other developers to also provide such phasing as long as the improvements are guaranteed by a Letter of Credit. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATtQN The staff is recommending approval of the applicant's request for a conditional use permit for 24 Type ill Employee Housing Units, subject to the foAowing findings: ' 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes of the GU zone district. 2. That the proposed (oGation 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 ar materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditianal use permit section af xhe zoning cade. The recommendation af approval is subject to the following conditions: 7 1. That the appiicant provide 8-12 decks on the south, east or west elevations of the ~ building. The final tocation and size of the decks shall be subject to DRB review and approval. 2. That the applicant provide a roof over the dumpster and appropriately secure the facility to lessen potential impacts from bears. 3. That the applicant provide a revised landscape plan which reflects a!) of the changes made to the site plan prior to DRB review and that the Design Review Board closely review the landscape plan, among other design issues, to ensure that the mass of the building is appropriately broken-up. f:\everyone\pecMemos\pubhous3.428 ~ . ~ $ ~ ` V a~ ~tA"'w~w z ~ 41 QO~W e r o„ w ' ~ ?

Lauren Waterton John Schofield Dominic Maurieilo Gene Uselton Judy Rodriguez Ann Bishop Pubiic Hearina 2:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by Greg Moffet at 2:00 p.m. Greg Moffet stated, for the record, that Greg Amsden was not present. 1. A request for a minor subdivision, to allow for the modification to the existing platted building envelope, located at 1082 Riva Glen/Lot 3 Spraddie Creek Estates. Applicant: Lee Kirch, represented by Gordon Pierce Planner: Lauren Waterton Lauren Waterton gave an overview of the staff inemo and stated that the request had met the subdivision criteria and that staff was recommending approval with 1 condition. 1 Greg Moffet asked for any public comments. There was none. He then asked if the Commissioners had any comments. There were no comments from the Commission. I John Schofield made a motion for approval with one condition in accordance with the staff memo. Diane Golden seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0. 2. A request to remove a condition of approval, from an approved setback variance, ' requiring that the exterior walls and roof remain during the remodel process, located at 226 Forest Road/Lot 11 A, Block 7, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: John Kredeit Planner: Lauren Waterton • Planning and Environmentai Conunission Minutes April28, 1997 ~ J6hn Schofield disclosed, for the record, that he had coniact with Mark Mueller, but he feli it would in na way affect his comments. . l.auren Waterton gave an overview of the staff inemo and said that the applicant was requesting removal of the condition of approval, as stated in the staff inemo. Lauren said that the project was non-conforming in severa{ ways and she listed them, saying that once the structure was altered, it would have to conform to the deve(opment standards. Therefore, staff was recommending denial, since staff felt that the applicant shoufd comply with the original condition of appraval. Rohn Robbins, an attorney on behalf of the applicant, asked for common sense to prevail, as the building was to be built in precisely the same location. He stated that nothing about the existing walls or roof was in compliance with the existing building code. He said he was concerned about it being a non-conforming structure; that you could grab a wall and shake a(I three fioors. He said the applicant was simply updating the materials and recreating the buifding in exactly the same location, with no impact to the adjacent neighbors. He stated that in order to construct as staff had recommended, it would be costly, as the applicant would have to suspend the members of the walls whife construct+r+g. He said that this would cause considerable delays in construction, would cause a safety hazard and the staging would impact adjacent property owners. He said it was a silly exercise having to suspend the walls in order to stay in conformance. Mark Mueller, a structural engineer, stated that he had been in the valley for 15 years and he said . he would (ike to explain what saving the existing wall would entail. He explained some illustrated drawings and why Bob Zeeb, the contractor, needed to remove the walls and roof. He said that to excavate underneath segmentally around ihe building was very time consuming, laborious and very dangerous from a safety standpoint. He also said to temporarily support the upper floors • and the roof was very time consuming without a guarantee of the quality of the building. i Steve Riden, the applicanYs architect, said that this project was initiated in August of 1992. He said, as a practical matter, the client would like to maintain what he had enjoyed on the property prior to the restrictions that had been placed on it now, with a practical resolution. Rohn Robbins emphasized that what was being asked for was a new, structurally-sound, non- conforming building. He said getting out of the setback would result in a loss of the view entirely to the west, with no benefit to the neighbors and be detrimental to the neighbor on the east. John Schofield asked Dan or Mike if the existing 2X4 walls comp(ied with the UBC. Dan Stanek said, no, but there were other ways to construct leaving the wall intact. . Mark MueNer agreed that it could be done, but was beyond the point of practicality. John Schofield agreed that it was possible, although not smart. He asked for some alternatives, as this was a clear example of the PEC setting forth a condition that was in opposition with the code of the TOV. He asked what portion of the building would be removed if it was torn down. Bob Zeeb said 100%. Pianning and i:nvironmental Commission Minules • April28, 1997 2 ~ Mark Mueiler said the basement slab had to be lowered 2'. Steve Riden said GRFA had been removed from the upper levels. John Schofield said it would be a demo/rebuild if 100% was removed. Gene Uselton said it would then become a new building needing a granting of a new variance for this new building, which would mean the PEC needed to look for a hardship. I Bob Zeeb said it would be a hardship on the neighbor to the east. Mike Mollica said the application was not about a setback variance, or its merits. He said that staff's response was to the applicant's request to remove the condition. Mike stated that the building should conform to the zoning and that nothing on that site was unique to the neighborhood. Gene Uselton said if this condition was removed than in fact a variance would be granted. Mike Mollica said a series of variances would then be necessary. Galen Aasland said although syrnpathetic, the applicant was asking for significant benefits, having been grandfathered from an existing building into a new building. He said that zoning said it didn't have to be practicaf, but it had to conform. Ann Bishop had no comments. • Diane Golden said the PEC's hands were tied. Greg Moffet said the basis of the variance was the existence of the structure and that granting the variance, given the structure, was not a grant of special privilege. He stated that if what was requested were permitted, then a precedent would be set. He said the structure had to become conforming over time and it was now a special privilege. John Schofield suggested tabling this until the applicant could come back with a specific request. Rohn Robbins stated that really what we were doing was arguing semantics and that we could give an illusion of retaining the wall. He said there was a hardship with the view that was lost, ihe cost and for the community not using the full and best use of the property. He asked what sense it made and that regulations said to bring it into conformance, but it made no sense. Steve Riden said in 1992 the demo/rebuild rule was not in effect and he had been working on this project since that time. Galen Aasland made a motion for denial, in accordance with the staff memo. Ann Bishop secanded the motion. The motion for denial passed by a vate of 6-0. • Planning and I;nvironmental Commission Minutes Apri128, 1997 3 . 3. An appeal of an administrative decision determining that the Vail Run tennis bubble is a seasonal structure. The property is located at 1000 Lionsridge Loop (Vait Run). Appellant: Vail Run Condominium Association, represented by Larry Eskwith Planner: Dominic Mauriello Dominic Mauriello gave an overview of the memo and said that the existing structure had never been removed during the summer months, according to Town records. He said although it was eluded to in the ordinance, what was stated was nat necessarily clear. Larry Eskwith stated that he filsd this appeal immediately. He said he didn't consider it to be a non-conforming structure, using the argument that it was a year-round recreational structure, rather than the seasonal structure. He then proceeded to hand out a letter from Peter Patten. He stated that it was a landmark on the Frontage Road. He said it had been there for 23 years. He asked how anyone could ignore enforcement of an ordinance that was passed in 1976 and one would assume that the Town Council wauld have asked Mr. Fleicher to take down the bubble through all the amendments, if it was indeed a seasonal structure. He said that nothing in the ordinance said the iennis courts were to be removed in the summer. He said it never was intended on the part of the Town Council, according to Ordinance 29 in 1977, to make it into a temporary structure. He told the PEC if they bought the staff's argument, then what you would have now would be a legal non-conforming structure, because it was legal prior to the time a change to the zoning law occurred. Greg Moffet asked for any public comments. There was none. Dominic Mauriello said the staff decision was not made in a vacuum. He said that if a • reasonable person would read this, the same conclusion could be made. He asked why the phrase "during the winter season" was put in the ordinance. He said it would be negligent of staff to not bring this forward to the PEC for an interpretation. Larry Eskwith said that SDD's in the Town of Vail in the past were contractual types of devices between the developer and the Town Council and that there was no evidence that the developer of Vail Run had agreed to any concessions. He said if it was the intention of the parties, then they would have put in specific prohibitions. He said it had never been taken down, since the Town Council or staff had never requested that it be taken down, and therefore, was a recreational structure. Mike Mollica explained that staff does not review the entire SDD ordinance when specific amendments are made to other portions of the ordinance. He said that staff only focused on the changes suggested. Galen Aasland asked if this received a building permit to hold the snow{oad or wind. He asked if there was a change in use, do they have to demonstrate the effects of wind or snowloads. Dominic Mauriello said that if the bubble was allowed to stay, it may have to come into compliance for any change in use. Planning and i:nviromncnlal Commission Mineites • April28, 1997 4 • Galen Aasland said he saw nothing that said it had to be taken down. . Ann Bishop said she had no comments and would uphold the staff's decision. Dominic Mauriello expiained the different ordinances and said that only 3 amendments deait with the SDD as a whole. Diane Golden said that she saw the courts covered during the winter months as an amenity and therefore, could see it as a recreational facility. John Schofield stated that non-enforcement didn't hold a whole lot of water, just because it had been wrong for 23 years and he agreed with staff that it was seasonal. Gene Uselton said Larry's argument was interesting and almost persuasive, however, he interpreted it as a seasonal structure, which meant not covered during the summer season. Greg Moffet said he saw this as an amenity and saw nowhere that it had to have the covers removed, but that both interpretations were reasonable. Larry Eskwith said that the word "presently" was the key word, or what existed at the time the ordinance was passed. Gene Uselton made a motion to uphold the staff determination that it was a seasonal structure. Ann Bishop seconded the motion. • The motion failed, by a vote of 3-3. Mike Mollica said the staff decision would hold. Tom Moorhead clarified that the applicanYs request to have it overturned had failed. , ; 4. A request for a major amendment to SDD #5 (Vai! Run), to eliminate the requirement for three covered tennis courts, located at 1000 Lions Ridge Loop/Lions Ridge Filing #1. Applicant: Vail Run Condominium Association, represented by Larry Eskwith Planner: Dominic Mauriello Dorninic Mauriello gave an overview of the staff memo. He said the applicant was requesting to change the use to a use that would benefit the community. He said that staff had concerns that a change would have parking implications and that the structure needed to conform to code. He said that staff was recommending approval, subject to the SDD criteria with two conditions. Larry Eskwith asked why it was necessary for the applicant to have to come back to the PEC if they wished to go forward with a permitted use. He asked for the rationale for it to be a minor amendment to the SDD. He asked if they were teaving the tennis courts in why they can't go forward with the permitted use. He said they just wanted a buifding permit. He said they wanted the same treatment as the Cascade Village and would iike any part of Vail Run to use permitted uses without filing a fee and going through a process. • Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes April28, 1997 5 Mike Mollica said it would go before the PEC f9ar information purposes only. He said there would be no public hearing and that was the process. • Dominic Mauriello said it would be a staff review. Larry Eskwith said a permitted use should be permitted. Dominic Mauriello said some recreational uses had different parking requirements. Mr. Fleichman, the General Manager of Va+l Run, said he should be able to do what he wanted in that bubble. He said that ihere had been rollerblading on the tennis courts, shooting hoops on courts and athletes playing soccer. He stated that the Homeowner's Association would never allow anything that affected their parking and that 26 new parking spaces had been added. John Schofield agreed with the change of use, as long as it was a recreational use. He stated that a movie theater could be considered by soma to be "recreational" and was a use that would change the need in parking and should be reviewed by statf. He said that the review should not be too restrictive in the parking requirement. Gene Uselton asked if an owner could do anything he wanted according to the ordinance. Dominic Mauriello said these were the zoning allowances for this property and that it didn't say you didn't have to get approval. Galen Aasland asked about the reasonable fee basis to the public. Dominic Mauriello said it had to show public benefits by being available to the public. He • mentioned that Vail Run paid a lesser recreational tax based on the public availability of the facilities, but there was no limitation on what the fee should be. Mike Mollica said there was not a requirement to charge a fee for the use of the recreational facility, but that it was at the discretion of Vail Run. Galen Aasland agreed with the staff inemo, that it should have to come back to the Town for public safery requirements. Ann Bishop supported the staff language, which she said was fairly explicit. She said it should not have to come back to the PEC and they could do what they wanted. Diane Go(den said they should be able to do what they wanted to do and if it became available to the generai public, then that would be the only reason to come back to the Town. She stated that the PEC was here to help the applicants. Greg Moffet said there was no line between similar and dissimilar recreational facilities and would not require subsequent review by staff. He said public amphitheaters or movie theaters were not sirnilar. He suggested limiting the review by staff to non-enumerated uses and to change the recommendation. Larry Eskwith said he would iike to be treated the same as Cascade and it was unfair. Planning and Environmentai Commission • Minutes April28, 1997 6 • Diane Goiden said the Cascade didn't have to be apen to the general pubfic, as you had to have memberships. Greg Moffet asked at what point did it become dissimilar and how could it be regulated. Larry Eskwith said sports were not dissimilar. Greg Moffet said, "what about an equestrian center." Mike Mollica said, " what about a rifle range." Dominic Mauriello said the process in the Zoning Code was for ihe PEC to make that determination between similar uses. Galen Aasland made a motion for approval in accordance with the staff inemo. Ann Bishop seconded the motion. Greg Moffet asked to amend the motion to include "non-enumerated" recreational uses. Ann Bishop seconded the amended motion. The amended motion passed by a vote of 6-0. Larry Eskwith said he would go to the Town Council regarding the interpretation. • 5. A request for a final review for a conditional use permit to allow for Type III EHUs for seasonal hpusing, located at 1309 Vail Valley Drive, Public Works Facility/legally described as: I beginning at the Northwest corner of Section 9, Township 5 South, Range 80 west of the Sixth ' Principa( Meridian thence S 89°31'49" E 2333.84 feet, along the North line of said Section 9, to a point on the northerly right-of-way fence line of Interstate Highway No. 70 thence along the northerly right-of-way fence line of Interstate Highway No. 70 as follows: S 67°41'33" W 415.82 feet; thence S78°13'02" W 1534.29 feet, to a point of curvature; thence 456.43 feet on a curve to the right with a radius of 5580.00 feet, the chord of which bears S80033'38" W 456.30 feet to a point on the Westeriy line of said Section 9: thence departing the northerly right-of-way fence line of Interstate Highway No. 70 and following the Westerly tine of said Section 9 N000021 "E 565.11 feet to ihe point of beginning. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Andy Knudtsen and Susie Hervert Planner: Dominic Mauriello Dominic Mauriello gave an overview of the request and stated that the applicant had put in more wood elements. He advised the PEC to concentrate on the bulk and mass and that the DRB would concentrate on the colors and materia(s. He mentioned that in the pre-meeting, the applicant said he would be bringing this within budget, so these improvements could be done. Greg Moffet asked, given the lack of public input, if the next step would be to go to the DRB, then to request a permit. • Planning and I'snvironmental Commission Minutes April28, 1997 7 Mike Mollica said it would go before the Town Cauncil a week from Tuesday. Andy Knudtsen stated that it was significant that there was not a lot of public here, as there have • been efforts to reach oui to the public to put them at ease. He said that this site was the only one in Town that works well for seasonal housing and the use and the location were a very good match. He said that CDOT was tough to work with and that CDOT had approved a proposal without conditions. Andy said that the TOV would be providing a bus stop on a will-call basis. He said the site had been cleared on all the debris and rockfall conditions, as they had worked with a soils expert to put the building up oFl. ihe hiilside. He explained the lack of retaining walls and said when you see retaining walls, you know there is too much building for the site. Andy said hurdles have been cleared and we were now looking for approval from the PEC. Mark Donaldson said regarding the soil conditions and grading, that there were major constraints on the site that they had to overcome, such as bedrock conditions and drainage. He said although the project could handle more stone and better materials, seasonal workers were being targeted here and the cost of the rent was important. He said they needed to see a financial return and the cost to add a balcony was $1800 per balcony, with just the change from a window ' to a stiding glass door at $500, therefore the balcony construction would add $55 a sq. ft. more. Mark asked that the PEC not require the decks. John Schofield said bears love to chew on wood and the dumpster doors needed to be changed to metal. He asked if painted concrete was permitted. Mark Donaldson said he wou(d do that. Bob McLaurin said this project was critical to the viability of the Bus Department and that it was an important step, given the lack of bus drivers. He said that the Dept. of Transportation would • use the units for plow drivers, if not used by the bus drivers. Bob said that balconies were not absolutely necessary and that this project had gone way beyond what it originally was supposed to be. Dominic Maurielfo said that Community Development thought this project was a great project. Galen Aasland said he would like to see decks. Ann Bishop said she would like to see decks if possible, but not make it mandatory. Diane Golden said she didn't think decks were needed, nor landscape islands, but more parking spaces. .1ohn Schofield said he liked the landscape islands, as there was an abundance of parking on the site. He asked if ihe power lines verere going to be underground. DominiG Mauriello said transmission lines were not required to be underground, but service to the individual houses must be underground. Mike Mollica said the scope of development determines the burying of lines and in this case it was not appropriate for this type of development. Planning and Environmental Commission • Minut$s Apri12 A. 1997 8 . Susie Hervert said in 1999, the transformer wouid be relocated. Mike Mollica stated again that all the service lines wouid be underground. John Schofield asked if the bus stop could be included in the Golf Course/East Vail route. Susie Hervert said the bus schedule was too tight to do that.. Greg Moffet said if we solved the bus driver problem, then that would be moot. John Schofield said he supported decks and suggested an opening, rather than a full deck, which would be architecturally more attractive and that a full balcony would give us what the PEC wanted. Mark Donaldson said there was a$300;000 contingency fund and if it could be done, it would be done. John Schofield said that full balconies gave the best of both'worlds. Andy Knudtsen said that from a distance, this project was attractive . Mike Mo)lica said that Eagle Bend on Highway 6 had faux balconies, which were not very attractive. Gene Usetton said that ba(conies would be nice, but seasonal workers wauld be there in the cold • weather and so he liked the faux balconies. He felt the money could be better spent on something else. Gene said he liked the landscape islands. Greg Moffet said a good job had been done and he was happy to be seeing this for the last time. 'I He said that he thought there should be a possible deed restriction, so if the Town ever so(d it, that they would need to come before the PEC for a review, since it was a conditional use. ; Andy Knudtsen said that the current Council and staff wanted it for TOV employees and that they I were fully committed to see this in perpetuity. ' Greg Moffet asked if there was a mechanism to draft into it a statement saying to continue to use ~ it as employee housing. Mike Mollica stated that a change of use would trigger a conditional use permit. ' Dpminic Mauriello said a deed restriction would have to be carried forward. Greg Moffet said it could be sold to the Sonnenalp for their employees, for example, and he would like it designated for TOV employee housing. Mike Mollica said a future Council could sell it, but they would need a public hearing and to put a deed restriction on the deed didn't accomplish anything further. Greg Moffet said he wanted to overcome the saleability of this project. • Planning and Environmental Cominission Minutes April28, 1997 9 , I ~Andy Knudtsen said language could be included to strongly recommend decks and when the bids I come back on May 6th, we would include that as suggested. . Greg Moffet reminded the PEC that there had not been a full winter bus schedule for the last three seasons and asked the PEC to summarize their preference for decks. Gaten Aasland wanted decks. r Ann Bishop strong(y recommended decks. ; r ! John Schofield wanted decks. ~ Gene Uselton did not want decks. . Diane Golden did not want decks. ; John Schofield made a motion for approval with the 3 conditions stated in the staff inemo with the additianal 3 conditions that a total of 35 parking spaces be designated for the project, that a , bus stop be designated prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued and that any changes in use or ownership be subject to review by the PEC. Galen Aasland seconded the motion. Susie Hervert said the parking spaces on the south side of the berm would be a staging area for Public Works. She said that in the winter the buses stage ior about a haif hour and that they did not have an area during the day to designate for the staging. John Schofield said suggested restricting 9 of the 49 spaces shown. • i Dominic Mauriello said there were 37 spaces. Susie Hervert said during the administration remodel, summer was the worst time and parking could potentialiy could go down to the tunnel. Mark Donaldson stated 3 units could be lost due to the finances of adding decks. Ann Bishop said if fiscally possible, she would like to see decks. Mark Donaldson said he did not want to be left with that condition. Mike Mollica noted that the applicant had agreed to add metal doors on the dumpster and also stucco. The motion failed by a vote of 2-4. John Schofield amended the motion with a new condition 1 to state that it be "strongly recommended the applicant include decks if possible" and to include all the other conditions of the previous motion.
