TOV LOOKS TC3 COMMUNII"Y FUR IDEAS Ta IMPRQVE SLIFER P'LAZA
AT JAN. 19F'UE3L.IG Wl7RKSHUP
(Vail)--The Town of Vail will rely an suggestians from the publicto help design the renovatian
of Slifer Piaza, Vail's most photographed corridnr. The suggestions will be developed during a
public workshop #ram 6:30 to 9 p.m. Monday, Jan. 19, at the Colorado Ski Museum. Anyone
~ interested in the plaza's renovation is encnuraged to a#tend. There, parkicipants will brainstorrn
ideas for improvements to the 25-year-old plaza, located at the entrance to the Covered Bridge in
Vail Village.
The Vail Town Council has set aside $540,004 for improvements to the plaza in preparation for
the 3999 World Alpine Ski Championships. The work will address basic infrastructure needs,
such as new pavers, and improved landscaping and lighting, said Todd Qppenheimer, the tawn's
parks superintertdent and project manager. (n addition, Oppenheimer says ideas will be sought
fio improve the plaza's effectiveness as a special event venue for activities such as the holiday
tree lighting ceremony. "Right now, our special events are harnpered there because crowds
block the pedestrian through-traffic. Alsm, it becomes difficult to see the whole area from any
one point," OPPenheimer said.
The project's scape also will address improvements ~ought by adjacent properties on the east
and west sides of the plaza, Oppenheimer said. "°fhe Mountain Haus, for example, is Iooking to
improve the entcance an the west side of the building," dppenheimer said. "Given that interest,
(more)
Slifer Plaza Workshop/Add 2
it makes sense to loak at the area in a comprehensive way to maximize langevity of the ~
improvements."
Ideas generated at the publie workshap an Jan. 19 will be forwarded to the town's design #eam.
The canceptual design will then be presented to the Design Review Board and Vail Town Councif
during February for approval. Constructian wauld begin in la#e April ar early May, with campletion
accurring in July.
Once the praject is approved, Oppenheimer says the fiawn has pledged #o maintain safe
pedestrian access to the Viflage throughout the construction process.
For more informatian about the public workshap, including feedback apportunities for those
who are unable to a#tend, contact 4ppenheimer at 479-2161.

l. BAGKGRCJUND AND DESCRI~PTION tJF THE REQtJf==S7.
4n Octaber 27, 1997, the applicant appeared before the Planning and Environmental
Commission (F'EC) with a similar request. Upon review of the criteria and cansideration of the
, factors outiined in the Municipal Code; the PEG unanimously appraved the applicant's request
with several conditions. In deciding upon the request, the PEC found that #he proposec6
~ improvements ta the Golden Bear Store complied with the minor exterior alteration criteria and
that the site coverage variance did not result in a grant of special privilege, wauld nat be
detrimental to the public hea!#h, safety, or welfare, and that the strict and lifieral interpretation of
the site coverage regulation would result in a practical difficulty upon the appiicant inconsistent
with the Municipal Gode.
A capy of the staff inemarandum ta the Planning and Environmental Commission dated Oc#ober
27, 1997 and a capy of the approved October 27 mee#ing minutes have been attached for
reference.
On November 5, 1997, the applicant appeared before the Design Review Board (DRB) for
cansideration af their request. Upon review of the praposai, the applicant and the Design Review
Board agreed fhat variaus changes sh4uld be made #a #he proposal to improve the overall design
and function of #he addition. The app-licant has made the foiCowing changes:
* A more "permanent" appearing raaftawning has been added.
* The roaf/awning design has been amended to ensure proper drainage and irnproved
dispiay windaw oppottunities,
* The window fenestration has been amended ta reiate better to the existing second stary
windows.
* Neavy log timbers have been added to suppart the raaflawning.
* Landscaped areas have bsen reloca#ed to improve window disp(ay opportunities.
* The use of copper shing(es as a roofing material.
The changes recommended by the DRB, and agreed #o by the app(icant, do nat affect the
~ previously approved site coverage variance nr aite:r the interior filoor plans of the addition. The
site coverage variance was republished for this meeting by the staff in the event #he requested
changes impacted the previous site coverage variance approval.
1
t t The applicant has since made the requested changes. Staff believes that the changes made tn
the original propnsal are pasitive and cantinue to be consistent with the minor exterior alteration ~
criteria prescfibed by the Municipal Code and outlined in Sections ill thru Vl of #he C7ctober 27,
1997, staff inemorandum. Staff does believe, however, tha# the changes are significant enough
to warrant a reaffirmation of the minor exterior alteration request approval for the Golden Bear
Stare.
A reduced copy of the amended plans have been attached for reference.
For Zoning Analysis information please refer to the dctaber 27, 1997 staff inemorandum. Please
note hawever, that the landscaped area square footage figures have been reduced slightly from
the previous approval. The reduction of two square feet of totai landcaping is a result of
impraving access to the jewelry display windows for "window shoppers". The landscaped areas
associated with this proposal are 153 square fee# of on-site landscaping (no net loss from the
existing conditian) and 122 square feet of off-site landscaping (31 square foot increa$e from
October 27 approval).
(I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Minor Exterior Atteration
The Cammunity Development Department continues to recommends approval of the reques# for
a minor exteriar alterafinn in Cammercial Core 1 to The Golden Bear Store. The recommerrdatian
for approval is based upon the staff's review of the minor ex#erior alteratian criteria outlined in
Sections I11 thru Vl of the staff memorandum to the F'lanning and Environmen#al Commission
dated October 27, 1997. Staff believes the applicant's amended proposal meets each of the ~
criteria.
Should the Planning and Enviranmental Commission choose to grant ar? approvai of the
amended minor exterior alteration request, staff wouid again recommend the following
conditions:
1. That a pubiic way permit and a revocable right-of-way permit be executed prior to
issuance of a building permit. The public way permit application shall be
accompanied by a construction fencing, traffic control, and staging plan. These
plans must be reviewed and approved by Pubiic Works and Corrimunity
Development staff. The applicant shall coardina#e and receive approval far ali
final grading plans for the paver/drain pan repair work fram Public Works prior to
issuance of a buiiding permit. The applicant shalC also coordinate plans to direct
roaftop run-aff into the storm sewer sys#em with PubFic Works.
2. That the applicant prepare and submit a detailed exterior lighting plan for review
and approval by the DRB prior to issuance of a building permit.
3. That the applicant provide a minimum of twn streetscape benches along Gore
Greek Drive/Bridge Street priar to issuance of a building permi#.
4. That the applicant coardinate irrigation plans and plant materiai selection
decisions with Todd Oppenheimer at Public Works prior to issuance of a building
permit. On-going maintenance of all landscaped areas shall be required of the
applicant. Finai Town review and approval of landscaping around the Fire ~
Department connecfion shall occur prior to issuance of a buiiding permif.
2
~ 5. That payment of the parking pay-in-iieu fee shall occur priar fo issuance of a
building permit.
Site Goverage
As stated previously in this memorandum, the October 27 site coverage variance appraval has
not been impacted by the applican#'s changes. Therefore, the Cammunity Deveiopment
Department would recommend that the Planning and Environmental Commission find #hat no
action needs ta be taken on this part of the request and make a motion to that affect.

Applicant: Lee HollislGolden Bear Store
Planner: George Ruther
1. DESCRIPTIC)N flF THE REQUESTS
Minor Exterior Alteration
The applicant is requesting approvalof a minorexterior atteration in the Commercial Core f
Zone District to add 68 square feet af commeraial fbor area to the Goiden Bear Store,
lacated on the first floor of the A& D Building. The request invalves relocatirig the entry to the
store from the wes# side af the building to the northwest corner of the building, adding ~
commercial floar area adjacent to the entry, reconfiguring landscape planters, and replacing the
awning and sign. The applicant also proposes to repair the cnncrete brick paving and the
drainage pan along the entire starefront and ta install streetscape landscaping and benches in
accordance with the Town's Streetscape Mas#er Pian.
According ta Sectian 18.24.065, Subsection 3b, of the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail, in
part,
"Applications far the alteration of an existing building which adds or removes any
enclosed floor area af not more than one hundred square shall be deemed a minor
exterior alteration."
Since the applicant is propasing to add 68 sgiaare of enclosed flaor area (<100 square feef), the
staff has concluded the applicafion to be a minor exterior al#eration.
Site Caverage
The applicant's praposal to add 68 square feet of commercial floor area increases site coverage
by 68 square feet. According to Secfion 18.24.150 of the Municipal Cade of the Town af Vail, in
part,
"Site coverage shall not exceed eighty percent (80%p) of the tatal si#e area unless
atherwise specified in the Vail Village Urban Design GuidePlan and Design
Considerations."
Currentfy, there is 5,854 square feet or 79.77% site coverage on the applicant's properfy. The
proposed addition would resuft in 5,922 square feet or 80.70°1o sife coverage. Therefore, the ~
applicant is requesting appraval of a site coverage variance of 52 square feet or 0.70%.

*At this time, parking pay-in-lieu spaces are $16,905.05 each, plus the percentage the Consumer
Price index (CPl) of the City of Denver has increased over each successive year. The applicant
wili be required #o pay into the Town of VaiC Parking Fund. The amount of the fee will be
determined based upan the parking tee that is in effect af the time that a building permit is appiied
far,
The applicant's proposal generates a frac#ional increase of 0.23 parking spaces, which will be
paid-in-lieu at the time of buiiding permit issuance.
.
This proposal results in a net increase of approximately 117 square fee# of landscaping. Most of
tne landscaping proposed will accur aff-site and within Town's rightWaf-way, According to the
Municipal Code, off-site iandscaping cannot be counted toward meeting the (andscape standard
of "no reduction". Thus, #he applicanfs proposal technically aniy increases landscaping by 33
square feet on the property.

USE PLAN
A. Vaii Land Use Plan
~ "Goa! 1.1 Vail should cantinue to gr4w in a con#rolled environment,
maintaining a balance be#ween residential, commercial and
recreational uses to serve both the visitor and #he permanent
residence.
2
t i
X- Gaal 1.3 The quality of development shouid be maintained and upgraded
whenever possible. ~
Goal 4.1 Fu#ure commercial development should continue to accur primarily
in existing commercial areas. Future cornmercial development in
the core areas needs ta be carefuNy contralled to facilitate access
and delivery. Increased density in core areas is acceptabie so long
a$ the existing character of each area is preserved through
implementation of the Urban Design Guide Pian and the Vail
Village Mas#er Plan.
Goal 4.3 The ambience ofi the Village is impartant to the identify of Vail and
shauld be preserved (scale, alpine character, smail town feeling,
mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling,
environmental quality)."
The appiicant's plans for the expansinn of the Golden Bear and the remodel of its
storefront reflects a high quality redevelopment propasal that shau4d enhance the
commercial viability of the Golden Bear withaut adversely impac#ing other commercial
and residen#ial uses in the vicinity of the project. The proposed redevelopment is in
harmony with Gaals 1 .1 and 1.3. Goals 4.1 and 4.3 express the desirability of
accommadating additional comrnercial growth in the core areas of Town, such as Vail
Village and Lionshead. The proposed redevelopment is in harmony with these goais as
the Golden Bear is laca#ed at the intersection of Gore Creek Drive and Bridge Street
within the Village.
Ali of these goals no#e the importance ofi evaluating commercial expansions so that the ~
ambience of the Vitlage and the identity of Vail are preserved. The quality features of the
redevelopment wiii be discussed, especially in regard tti their compiiance with the Urban
Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan, in the following sectians af this
memorandum.
Goal 4.1 states in part, that "future commerciai development in the core needs to be
carefully confiroHed to fiacilitate access and delivery." One of the few issues related to the
propased redevelopment is a nesd to maintain emergency vehicular access along Gore
Craek Drive adjacent ta the storefrant. The proposal invoives adding planters along this
elevation and installing streetscape trees. All would be cantained wi#hin the cnnfines of
the existing concrete drainage pan along Gore Creek Drive. The pavers and the drainage
pan define the street edge in this area. Adequate street width is maintained for Fire
Department access.
B. Vail Village Master Plan
The goals far Vail Villageare summar`rzed in six major goal statements. Each major goal
focuses on a particular aspect of the Village community.
"Goal 'I Encourage high quality redevelapment while preserving the unique
architectural scale of the Village in arder to sustain a sense of cammunity
and identity."
The propased remodei involves quality design details sueh as the addition of ornamental
display cases, increased transparency to attract pedestrian atten#ion, and reorientation of ~
the entryway to the corner of the building focusing on the intersection of Bridge Street and
Gore Creek Drive. The addition of s#reetscape trees, benches, and pianters for annuais
and perennials enhance the buiiding's north elevation. A new awning reflects the gabled
3
~ roof forms alang the north elevation and draws the first floor cammercial out from under
the dominafiion of the upper floor.
"Goal 2 To foster a tnurist industry and promote year-round economic health and
viability for the Village and for the communi#y as a whole."
The propased expansion will enharrce the existing commercial use and promotes year-
round econnmic health and activity by implementing many of the streetscape objectives
along Gore Creek Driue. The addition of streetscape shade trees, and benches improve
the aesthetic appeal of the Gore Creek Drive storefron#, and provide a place for
pedestrians to res# and take in the street life during the warmer sumrner season.
"Goal 3 To recagnize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience
throughout the Viliage."
As discussed in Goai 2above, the proposed remodel inciudes the implementation of
many of the Streetscape Master Plan elements. The addition of benches, trees, repairing
of pavers, and the addition of landscape planters certainly enhance the pedesfrian
experience along the Gore Creek Drive frontage. The greater transparency of the
windows and the addition of display cases should draw the pedestrian up to the storefron#
to gaze inside.
"Goa14 To preserve existing open space areas and expand green spaee
opportuni#ies "
~ The proposed building expansion displaces the existing landscape planter at the corner of
#he building. Additionai planters are proposed along Bridge Street and Gore Creek Drive.
To eompensate far the displaced planter, six trees in four-foo# square tree grates have
been added along both streets and three trees in grates have been added on thepatio
area adjacent to Mill Creek. The applicant proposes to add thirty-three square feet of
green space an-site and eighty- four square feet of green space off site.
°Goal 5 Increase and imprave the capacity, efficiency and aes#hetics of the
transportation and circulation system throughout the Village."
The proposed remodel should have no effect an transportation and circulation in the
Village. The implementation of the streetscape trees and benches provides an improved
pedestrian atmosphere alang Gore Creek Drive.
"Goa16 Ta ensure the continued impravement of the vital operational elemen#s of
the Village."
The proposed improvements da not impact access, maintenance and delivery activities in
the vicinity of the project. The proposal wili improve existirag eonditians as the applicant
proposes to eliminate existing drainage prablems. Raaf drains along the north eievation
wili be hidden in the building wall a# fhe awning, and wi11 be routedunder the pavers
diseharging directly in#a #he existing storm sewer system. The applicant also proposes to
regrade Itiw areas where wa#er currently stands and imprnve the overall drainage of the
concrefe paver area and drainage pans along #he store front, so that drainage enters
starm sewer inlets as originally planned. The applicant has agreed to repair broken
~
4
heating elements under the pavers so that the entire paver area wi(1 be equipped with a
functioning snow meit system, providing a safer enviranment for delivery personnel and ~
pedestrians.
IV. CUMPLIANCE WITH THE RURPASE STATEMENT OF COMMERCIAL CORE I ZONE
DISTRICT
According to Section 18.24.010 of the Municipal Code, the Commercial Care I District is
intended to,
"prdvide sites and to maintain the unique character of the Vail ViNage Commercial Area,
with its mixture qf iodges and commercial establishments in a predominantly pedestrian
environment. The Cammercial Core I Distric# is in#ended to ensure adequate light, air,
open space, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses.
The district regulatians in accordance with the Vail Viilage Urban Design Guide Plan and
Design Considerations prescribe site development standards that are intended to ensure
the rnaintenance and preservatian of the tightly clustered arrangements of buildings
fronting on pedestrian ways and public greenways, and ta ensure continuation of the
building scale and architectural qualities that dis#inguish the Village."
The reorientation of the entry to the Golden Bear, along with the implementation of streetscape
improvements, will enhance the pedestrian environment. The remadeled starefrant impraves the
' quality and aesthetic appearance af this entire corner without interfering with the light, air and
apen space enjoyed 6y surrounding buildings and uses. The praposal meets the site
development guidelines expressed in the Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations. ~
The proposal improves building scale by emphasizing the ground levei retail area and reducing
the building to a pedestrian scale,
V. CUMPLIANCE WITH THE STREETSCAPE MASTER PL.AN
The praposal implements all of the recommendations of the Streetscape Master I'lan for this
property. Seasonal seatmg and landscaping wiil be added along the Gore Creek Drive frontage,
brick pavers and drain pans willbe repaired, drainagewill be upgradedand additional ssasonai
color will be added #hrough the reorganiza#ion of plan#ers. The 5#reetscape Master Plan
specifies three additional tree planters, containing deciduous trees, a(ong Gore Creek Drive. 7he
applicant proposes five additional deciduous trees in tree grates along Gore Creek arive, one
along Bridge Street and three along Mill Creek.

~ Vaii Vi11age Desian Considerations
l`he following is a discussion of the application's compliance with the Urban Design
Considerations and the architecturaUlandscape consideratians expressed in #he Vail
Village Design Considerations planning dacumen#.
Urban Desiqn Considerations
A. Pedestrianization:
1. F'edestrian-anly Streets
Bridge Street is a pedestrian anly street with a strang delineation of street edge
expressed by existing tree grates, planters and smail benches. One additicrnal
tree in a gra#e is proposed along E3ridge Street and five along Gare Creek Drive
wiil he1p define the street edge adjacerrt to the new entryway.
2, Pedestrian Stiteets-fimited vehicular traffic
Gore Creek Drive is a 25 to 35-faot wide section of asphalt, with an additional 6 to
8 feet of concre#e pavers on each side. This width is more than adequate to
accommodate the current mix of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
B. Vehicular Penetratian:
~ "in conjunction with pedestrianization objectives, major emphasis is
facused on reducing auto penetration into the center ofi the
Village...Road constric#ions, traffic circles, signs and other
measures are indicated in the guide plans to visually and physicalfy
discourage aH but essentiai vehicle panetration."
Adding streetscape trees along Gore Creek Drive will visually constrict the
roadway. Planters are strategically located along the building wall with
streetscape benches located between tres grates.
C. Streetscape Framework.
"To improve the walking experience, to give continuity to the
pedes#rian ways, as a continuous sysfem, two gerteral types of
improvements adjacent ta the walkways are considered:
1 . Open space and landscaping
2. Infili commercial store fronts"
Relacating the entryway to the corner of the A& D Building, papping the storefcont
out and adding display cases oriented toward the in#ersecfion of Gore Greek Drive
and Bridge Street will focus visual interest on the Golden Bear Store and the A&
D Buiiding. The addition of landscape planters and streetscape trees aCnng Gore
Creek Drive significantiy improves this frontage by saftening the twa-story building
~
6
}
facade. The additian of an awrring further accents the first floor retail element,
pulling i# out from under the second Ievei offices, creating interest and focusing ~
the attention of the pedestrians.
D. Street Enclosure:
The proposai wiN not directly affect facade height. 7he addi#ion of an awning and
trees will help enclase Gore Creek Drive and will give it a more pedesfrian scale.
The proposed improvements will provide a softer, more defined feefing and will
add fhree dimensionaf variety along the A & D Buiiding's north elevation,
E. Street Edge:
"Buildings in the ViHage Core shnuid form a strong but irregular
edge to the street,,"
The proposed streetscape impravements and additinn of the awning will add
irregularity to the Gore Creek Drive frontage. Existing jags in the building will be
maintained, although altered slightly at the northwest corner of the building. The
propasal includes planters that are strategically lacated along the north elevation
with benches interspersed between landscaped areas. This, along with the
gabled effect of the awning, significantly improve the irregularity of the streetscape
along Gare Creek Drive, which wifl help the pedestrian quality of the space.
F. Building Height:
The application daes not impact this consideration. ~
G. Views and Focal Pcrints:
The appiication daes not impact this consideratian.
H~ 5ervice and Delivery:
A laading zone exists along Gore Creek Drive adjacent to the Miil Creek Caurt
Building. The proposal will have no impact an existing loading and delivery
services,
1. Sun/Shade:
Due to the existing height and orien#ation of the building, the addition afi the
proposed awnings and building area will not extend shadows or interfere with
adjacenf property`s light.
ArchitecturelLandscape Considerations
A. Roofs
A minor roof extension is proposed. The new roof area wiH not be seen from the
street level and does not alter the existing roof forms at the A& C7 Building.
~
7
~ B. Facades
"Materials
Stucco, brick (or stone), wood and glass are the primary buiiding materials
found in the Village. Of the above materia(s, stucco is the most
consistently used ma#erial."
The propased design maintains the dominance of stucco with the contras# af river
rock veneer on low landscape planter wails. The existing stucco coiar, off-white,
will be maintained, but the trim eolors wi(I be changed from blue to forest green.
The new awning is also praposed #o be a copper patina. The proposed rock
veneer nn the planter walis will match the stone that currentiy exists on the
Gorsuch storefront (a picture o# this s#one work is enclosed). The applicant
prefers the rounded, irregular river rock over the existing rock at the A& D
Building. According to the appiicant, the existing stonework has a ractangufar,
manufactured lo6k. The proposed stonework will rep(ace the existing stonevrtork
an all portions of the A& D Building.
„Color
Far woad surfaces, trim or siding, darker color tones are preferred.
Browns, grays, blue grays, dark oiives, siate greens, etc. Stucco
coiors are generally white beige, pale gald, or other light pastels.
Bright colors should be avoided. Generaliy, to avoid busyness,
~ and weak visual interest, the variety of major wali colors and
materials shauld be no more than four nor less #han two in each
case. A color/material change between the ground floor and upper
floar is a common and effec#ive reinforcement of the pedestrian
scale of the street."
The applicant's colnr palette of muted grays and beige (river rack), dark green
(windaws, wood trim, storefront door and awnings), arrd off-white (stucca) are in
harmony with the color guidelines. The applicant's praposal wiN add green to the
exis#ing coiars of brown, gray and blue at the A& D Buiiding. The materials wili
be stone, wood, copper and stucco. Thus, four basiccolors and four basic types
of materials are proposed.
"Transparency
As a measure of transparency, the most characteris#ic and
successful graund floor facades range from 55°l0 #0 75°lo af the
total length of the ccammercial facade.°
The proposed transparency is approximately 50% of the building facade. This is
slightly below the range indicated above, but the applicant is proposing
improvements that will draw attention to the storefron# area such as the river rock
faced dispiay cases on each side af the entry doar. The additional arnarnentation,
the awning, s#reetscape benches and landscape planters, aCong with the
reorientation af the entryway to the corner of the building, will draw pedestrian
~ attentian tothe bcrilding.
$
~
"WindowS
For c?ose-up casual pedestrian viewing, windows are typically designed ta ~
human-sized dimensians. Ground floor display windows are typically
raised slightly, 18 inches plus or minus, and do no# extend much over 8
feet abave the walkway IeveL"
The proposed windows are at a pedestrian scale. The planters are 1.5 to 2 feet
high and windows are 6 feet high, for a tatal height #o the top af the windows at 8
fae# above walkway levef.
"Glass areas are usually subdivided #o express individua) window
elemen#s and are further subdivided by mullians into small panes.which is
responsibie far much of the old world charm of the Village. Windows
shauld give a pleasing rhythm with horizantal repetition o# single window
elements especiaily ouer long dis#ances avoided. Bay and box windows
are common windaw details which fur#her add variety and massing to
facades and are encouraged.°
The proposed windows have a pleasing rhythm and sXmmetry in b4th location and
size. Muilions are used to divide the large glass panes into smal( panes. Bay
windows and projecting display cases are designed to accent the entryway.
"Doors
Like windows, doors are important character and style giving
architectural elements. They shauld also be somewhat transparent ~
on commerciai facades and cnnsisten# in detailing with windows.
As an expression of entry, shel#er and welcame, protected
entryways are encouraged. Doorways may be recessed, extended
or covered,"
The entryway consists of double giass doors in the same style as the windaws
with mullions dividing up the large glass plates. The doorway is recessed and
covered with an awning, providing a protected entryway.
C. Decks and Patios
No decks or patios are proposed by the applicant.
D. Balconies
No balconies are proposed by #he applicant.
E& F. Accen# Elements and Landscape Elements
The accent elements are in harmony with the recommendations of the Design
Guidelines. The colors and materials proposed are consistent with colors and
materials used across the stree# (Gorsuch). Lighting along the storefront has not
been finalized and will need to be appraved by the DRB before a building permit is
issued for the project.

This consideration is no# applicable to this application.
VI1. VARIANGE CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review a# Sec#ion 18.62.060, Griteria and Findings, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the
Communi#y Development Department recommends approual af the requested site coverage
variance. The recommendation for approval is based upon on the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factars;
1. The relationship af the requested variance to other existing ar
potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
Staff believes the variance request wilf have no negative impacts on the
relationship to other existing ar potential uses and structures in the uicinity
of The Golden Store or the A&D Buiiding. The request for the additional
52 square feet of site coverage will result in an improved streetscape and
pedestrian experience along Bridge Stree# and Gore Creek Drive and will
not interfere with the opera#ion of the existing businesses on adjacent
properties.
~ 2. The degree to whmch relief from the strict and Iiteral interpretatinn and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary ta achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment amnng sites in the vicinity ar
to atEain the objectives of the title without grant af specia( privilege»
The staff has warked with the applicant to reduce the amount of deviatian
(+0.70%) from the site ccrverage development standard. Staff believes the
applicant is requesting the minimum amounf of relief from the site
coverage limitation #a obtain campatibility and uniformity amongst the sites
in the vicini4y of The GoCden Bear. Staff does not believe that the granting
of the variance request will result in a grant of special privilege since the
intent of the development standards is being met. The site caverage
limitation of 80% was intended, in part, to ensure that an adequafie amaan#
of the site was left undeveloped to permit areas for (andscaping and
streetscape. The applicant's request to increase the site coverage
percentage by 0,7°lo does nat have any negative impacts on the landscape
area of the Galden Bear Store. In fact, the applicant proposes to increase
the net landscape area on the propertY byaPproximately 33 sq.ftv and to
implement the recommended actions in the 5treetscape Master Pfan.
Staffi further believes that the request does not cans#itute a grant of speciai
privilege smce the addition proposed by the applicant furthers the gnals
and objectives of the mas#er plans of the Tawn of Vail wi#hout resulting in
negative impacts on adjacent properties or uses. As discussed in
Sections III, IV, V, & VI of this memorandum, the applicant's propasal
~ implements marty of the recommendations proposed in the Town's Master
Plans. As stated in the Vail Village Master Plan,
10
"Vai1 Village has not escaped the aging process. There is a need to
encourage the contiuned upgrading and enhancement of existing lodging ~
and commerciai facilities within the Village in order to maintain the unique
character that is its main attraction."
Lastiy, staff believes that while it is always possible ta design and
canstruct a building that is in full camplianee wifh the Zoning Code, it is not
aCways practical or reasonable to do so. Staff acknowle:dges that the
applicant couid redesign #he addition and eliminate 52 square feet of site
coverage. Hawever, the design and construction of the existing building
corner is not condusive #a substantial changes. Staff believes that such a
change would negatively impact the applicant's use of the Golden Bear
Store. Staff feels that the benefits of the addition autweigh any possible
negative impacts.
3. 7he effect af the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
populatian, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and publia safety.
Staff believes the variance request will have no negative impacts on light
and air, distribu#ion of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public
facilities and utilities, and public safety,
B. The Planning and Enviranmental Commission shall make the following. findinqs
before r~ anting a variance:
1. That the gran#ing of the variance will not constitute a grant of special ~
privilege inconsistent wi#h the limitatian on other properties classified in the
same dis#rict.
2. That the granting of the variance wiN not be detrimental to the public
heal#h, safety ar welfare, ar materially injuriaus ta properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted far ane or more o# the foNowing reasans:
a. The s#rict and literal interpretatipn or enfarcement of the specified
regulatian would result in practical difficulty ar unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this fitle,
b. There are exemptions or extraardinary circumstances or canditions
applicable to #he same site nf the var'rance that do not applY
generally to other properties in the same zone district.
c. The strict interprefatian or enfcsrcement af the specified regulatinn
would deprive the applicant af privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same dis#rict.

~ Vi11. STAFF RECOMMEND,4TiC)N
Minor Exterior Alteration
The Community Deveiaprnent Department recnmmends approval of the request for a rninor
exterior alteration in Commercial Gore 1 to The Gniden Bear S#ore. The recommendation far
approval is based upan the staff's review of the minor exterior alteratian criteria outlined in '
Sections III thru VI of this memorandum. Staff believes the applicant has mst each of the
criteria.
Should the Planning and Enviranmental Comrnission chaose ta grant an approval of the minor
exterior afteration request, staff would recommend the fol(owing conditions:
1. That a public way permit and a revocable right-of-way permit be executed prior to
issuance of a building permit. The public way permit application sha11 be
accompanied by a constructican fencing, traffic contral, and sfaging plan. These
plans must be reviewed and appraved by Public Works and Cornmunity
Development staff. The applicant shall coordinate and receive approval for ail
final grading plans far the paver/drain pan repair work fram Public Works pr`ior fo
issuance of a building permit. The appiicant shall alsa coardinate plans to direct
rooftop run-off intn #he s#orm sewer system with Public Works.
2. That the applicant prepare and submit a defailed exterior lighting plan far review
and approval by the DRE3 prior to issuance of a building permi#.
~ 3. That #he applicant provide a minimum of two streetscape benches along Gore
Creek DrivelBridge Street prior ta issuanceof a building permit.
4. That the applicant coordinate irrigation plans and pianf material selection
decisions with Todd appenheimer at Pubiic Works prior to issuance of a building
permit. On-going maintenance of a11 landscaped areas shall be required of #he
applicant. Fina! Town review and approvai of landscaping around the Fire
Department connection shaN occur prior ta issuance of a building permit.
5. That payment of the parking pay-in-lieu fee shaFl occur pr#or to issuance of a
buiiding permit.
Site Caverage Variance
The Community Development Department recommends approvai of the applicant's requesfi for a
site caverage variance to allow for an increase of 52 square feet, or 0.70°/a of site coverage, aver
the allowabie. The recommenda#ion for approvai is based upan the staff's review of the variance
criteria and findings outlined in Sec#ion VIl of this memorandum. The staff believes the site
coverage variance shouid be granted since the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant
of specia1 privilege ta the applicant, nor wili fihe granting of the variance be detrimental fo the
public healfh, safety, or welfare, nor wiN it be materially injurious to other properties in the vicinity
of The Go{den Bear Stnre. The staff believes the site coverage variance is warranted for the
fallowing reasons:
1. That fihp granting of the site coverage variance ai(owirtg for an increase in site coverage
~ by 0.70% does not result in agranfi of specia( privilege inconsistent with the iimitation an
afher properties in the Commercial Gore (Zone District.
12
a
2. That the granting of the variance wiil not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, nar will it be materiaNy injurious ta the adjacent prcaperties or uses in the vicinity ~
of the Golden Bear Store.
3. That the strict and liferal interpretation ar enforcement of the 80°lo site coverage limitation
would result in a practieal difficulty inconsistent with the objectives of the Commercial
Core I Zane District development standards and the goals and objectives of the Master
Plan documents of the Town of Vail.

Will Miller, the owner of the property management company at Montaneros, said this use
lessened the impact versus renting the property out short-term. He said he secured diffierent
vacation parties through the management company for short-term rentals. He said short-term
occupancy allawed in the house was 10-12 persons, plus the hou$ekeeper, generating more cars
~ #han what would be generated by 3 couples if the use was a bed & break€ast. He stated that he
would be in residence on the site. He explained that vacant rooms were rented out in the

the premises.
Greg Moffet asked far any public comments.
Tarn Hughes, President of the Aspen Grove Hpmeowner's Associatian, stated they were against
this use. He said the intention of this neighborhoad was #o be a single family neighborhaad and
he had not heard one pnsitive camment about fihe request.
Pe#er Kyle, a next-doar neighbor, said he was planning on selling his hame and the B&8 would
have a negative impact on the sale af his house.
Carroli C)rrison, the awner of the 2nd house built on Aspen Grove Lane, said the area was
isalated from the city and he thought the area should only have single family homes.
Tam Hughes said that 'C`ract B inc(uded this private road. He said he represented the ownership
and they kept it plowed and maintained. Ne said since they awned the road, they wanted to keep
it private.
John Schofield questicaned if the raad access was owned jointly by the 11 owners and controlled
