Community Development Department MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: February 23, 1998 SUBJECT: A request for a minor subdivision, to modify a platted building envelope, to allow for a maintenance structure to be constructed adjacent to the caretaker residence, located at 914 Spraddle Creek Road, Tract C, Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision. Applicant: Spraddle Creek Estates Maintenance Association, represented by David Argo Planner: Reed Onate 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Spraddle Creek Estates Maintenance Association, represented by David Argo, is requesting a minor subdivision that would modify the existing building envelope, as designated on the subdivision plat. The building envelope would be slightly reduced in size and shifted to the west to allow for the construction of a maintenance structure. The building envelope is currently 4,500 sq. ft. and the proposed building envelope would total 4,498 sq. ft. The proposed maintenance building would be a two-story building with an interior gross floor area of 1,222 sq. ft. that would be attached to the existing caretaker's unit through a common roof structure. The design of the maintenance building would be subject to Design Review Board approval that would be subsequent to the minor subdivision approval by the PEC. The proposed plat notes an increase in the allowable GRFA applicable to the caretaker's unit that encompasses areaspreviously used for maintenance, including garage square footage. The GRFA for the caretaker's unit would be increased from 1,625 sq. ft. to 1,900 sq. ft. Anew maximum interior square footage limit would also be applied to the proposed maintenance building totaling 1,250 sq. ft., as noted on the amended plat. In addition, the site coverage allowance would also be increased from 2,000 sq. ft. to 2,200 sq, ft., to accommodate the proposed maintenance building. Please find enclosed Attachment 1 that includes a reduction of the proposed subdivision plat map for Tract C and plans for the maintenance building addition with the existing caretaker unit. Attachment 2 includes four letters; three letters of correspondence written by Dave Argo (applicant's representative) and one letter written by Franco D'Agostino, President of the Spraddle Creek Estates Maintenance Association. The Dave Argo letters provide some historical details regarding the siting of the service/maintenance building. The Franco D'Agostino letter was submitted to confirm the Maintenance Association's support of the maintenance building location and construction. ai T'O?O VEA 11. BACKGROUND The Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision is zoned Hillside Residential, and is generally located northeast of the main Vail roundabout. The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) approved the final plat for the Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision on February 11, 1991. The final plat illustrates the location of site specific building envelopes for the building sites within the subdivision boundaries. The current maintenance facilities located within the caretaker's building are under-sized and are in need of expansion. Staff has worked with the applicant's representative to analyze various locations for the maintenance facility within the subdivision. The conclusion of the analysis and discussions resulted in siting the maintenance facility adjacent to the caretaker's residence. Ill. 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 Tract C, prescribed as plat notes on the Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision final plat. Existina, Proposed Lot Area: 1.085 acres No change. Building Envelope Size: 4,500 sq. ft. 4,498 sq, ft. GRFA allowance: 1,625 sq. ft. 1,900 sq, ft. (including Garage) Service/Maintenance Bldg; None 1,250 sq. ft. Site Coverage: 2,000 sq. ft. 2,200 sq. ft. IV. MINOR SUBDIVISION REVIEW CRITERIA 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, there 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 outlined in Title 13 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The first set of review criteria to be considered by the PEC for a minor subdivision application is as follows: A. Lot Area 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. (112 acre) of buildable area. The existing Tract C currently meets the minimum lot area requirements set forth above and the proposed building envelope amendment will not affect the existing size of Tract C. B. Frontaoe The Vail Municipal Code requires that lots in the Hillside Residential zone district have a minimum frontage of 50'. Tract C currently has a frontage of more than 50' and the proposed building envelope amendment will not affect the frontage of the lot. 2 ? t C. Site 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. Tract O currently meets the size and shape requirement for lots in a Hillside Residential Zone District and the proposed building envelope amendment will not affect the size and shape of the boundaries for Tract C. The second set of review criteria to be considered with a minor subdivision request is as outlined in the Subdivision Regulations, and is as follows: "The burden of proof shall rest with the applicant to show that the application is in compliance with the intended purpose of Title 13, Chapter 4, the zoning ordinance, and other pertinent regulations that the PEC deems applicable. Due consideration shall be given to the recommendations by public agencies, utility companies and other agencies consulted under § 13-3-3-3.C. 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: 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 of land, 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 received a letter of approval from the Spraddle Creek Estates Architectural Control 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 letters of notification were sent. 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 Tract C. 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 Tract C 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. Staff Resoonse: The purpose of the subdivision regulations is intended primarily to address impacts of large scale subdivisions of property, as opposed to this particular proposal to amend a building envelope. Staff does not believe that this proposal will have any negative impacts on any of the above listed public facilities. 6. To provide 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 regulations that is not applicable to the proposed building envelope amendment for Tract C. 7. To prevent the 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. Staff Resoonse: Staff feels comfortable with the applicant's proposed building envelope amendment on Tract C. The applicant's representative has stated that trees disturbed by the maintenance building's construction would either be relocated or replaced. After previous analysis of alternate locations, staff believes that shifting the envelope to accommodate the maintenance building is the best planning solution. The proposed maintenance building location would keep the snow removal equipment and maintenance activities adjacent to its existing location and consolidate earth disturbance and landscaping next to an existing building. 4 V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request for a minor subdivision to amend the platted building envelope on Tract C, Spraddle 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.

As you know, the present submittal represents a culmination of working together with the Town of Vail's Planning Department over the last year to determine an acceptable location for a new service and maintenance facility within the Spraddle Creek Estates subdivision. This new building will provide Spraddle Creek Estates with a much-needed structure to house several of the service and maintenance requirements of the neighborhood which have recently become apparent since a majority of the homes are now completed or are currently under con- struction. These uses include the storage of a pick-up truck with snowplow, cinders for winter road maintenance, a trash dumpster, a workshop for the on-site caretaker and general storage. After looking at several alternate locations within the subdivision and reviewing these options with the planning department staff, we have come to the conclusion that the best location for this proposed structure is to situate it next to the existing Caretaker's Cottage located adjacent to the gatehouse entrance to the neighborhood. This provides for a consolidation and centralization of existing and proposed maintenance uses within the development and is consistent with the original intent of providing these functions at the entrance to the neighborhood. The intent of our current request for Minor Subdivision is to revise the existing Building Envelope and the Lot Summary Chart for the Tract C parcel to provide for the proposed addition to the Caretaker Cottage. These proposed changes have been redlined onto a copy of the Final Plat included with this submittal, and a follow-up "paper copy" of the proposed Final Plat will be provided to you by February 10 for your review. We have also included the proposed conceptual design plans for this service and maintenance addition to the existing Caretaker Cottage for your review and information. The architectural design character of the proposed building will blend in with the existing Caretaker Cottage, as well as fitting into the overall style advocated by the Spraddle Creek Estates Design Regulations. F7 0121 HIDEAWAY IAN6 GLO ww SPRINGS, UoLo po 81601 hoNO & Fix: 970-945-6738 In order to provide some additional background information and context for the current design of this proposed addition, we have attached a copy of two letters summarizing the evolution of this project dated July 9 and July 31 of last year. We have also enclosed a copy of the letter issued by Franco D'Agostino, President of the Spraddle Creek Homeowners' Association, which summarizes the recent Homeowners' meeting in December 1997 and their decision to provide support and the financial resources necessary to build this project. Please contact me if you have any questions about the enclosed submittal or if I can provide you with any additional information.

Box 11313 Kansas City, MO 64112 Ref: Spraddle Creek Estates Maintenance Facility Dear Franco and Bill: Following our recent phone conversations pertaining to the Town of Vail Planning Staff s review and comments about the proposed Maintenance Facility at Spraddle Creek Estates, I thought it would be good to summarize the current status of this project for your review and consideration. 0 INPUT FROM THE, TOWN OF VAIL'S PLANNING STAFF As you know, the Planning Staff's interest in this project was piqued in early July when they realized that we were on the verge of submitting our application for location of the proposed structure on Tract B, which is zoned as "Open Space". Although the potential difficulties asso- ciated with converting the Tract B parcel into a developable piece of land had been brought to our attention by Dirk Mason--Staff Planning Liaison--the collective (and very vocal) opinion of the Staff was an overwhelming negative reaction to this solution. In fact, the Tract B alternative received absolutely no support from any of the Staff members, and it was obvious that the Staff would recommend denial of the project to the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC). once it became obvious that the Tract B alternative was not going to receive any support from the Planning Staff', I notified you of the situation and recommended that we not pursue this alternative, since it appeared to me that we would be fighting a losing battle. During Franco's last visit to Vail, he and I met with Dirk Mason to review the needs of the Spraddle Creek Homeowners' Association for the proposed maintenance facility and to discuss several alternatives for solving these needs. Dirk reiterated the Staff's sentiments regarding the Tract B parcel, and explained that pursuit of that alternative would probably be a futile effort. Two other alternatives were discussed with Dirk: 1. An addition to the existing Caretaker's Cottage, and 2. Location of the Maintenance Facility on the lower portion of Tract C adjacent to an existing KeyStone retaining wall, with access directly onto Spraddle Creek Road. 0121 Iliwwu IAN6 - Ginwooo SP1um COLIKADO 81601 Ption & Fa 970-945-6735 • Dirk suggested that he review these two alternatives with other Planning staff members during their next weekly Staff meeting, so that he could give us a better indication of which of the two alternatives would be preferred by the Staff. Design studies of both the Tract B alternative and the earlier version of a proposed addition to the Caretaker's Cottage were left with Dirk to assist his efforts in conveying our design intent to the. other members of the Planning Staff. Last week I spoke with Dirk about the outcome of his review of the proposed Maintenance Facility with other members of the Staff, and he informed me that Staff actually visited Spraddle Creek Estates to review the alternate sites firsthand. He said that the consensus opinion was that an addition to the Caretaker's Cottage was the best alternative for locating the proposed maintenance facility. Staff's opinion was that the site location on the lower portion of Tract C represented several difficulties, primarily related to vehicular access into the structure and the associated traffic safety issues such as lines of sight, etc. Their concerns stem from the fact that the lower section of Spraddle Creek Road is a public roadway, and location of the facility within the private portion of the development represents less concern over these types of issues. In addition to this input regarding the Planning Staff s opinion for the "best" location for the proposed Maintenance Facility, Dirk also provided clarification on a few related issues. I had previously requested clarification of these items from Dirk during our meeting with Franco on July 16, and these issues are related to the placement of the structure on Tract C adjacent to the existing Caretaker's Cottage: 1. Buildinz ,Envelope-As with other lots located within Spraddle Creek Estates, the configuration of the existing Building Envelope for Tract C may be amended, in order to conform with the size and placement of the new structure--as long as the overall size of the Building Envelope does not increase. We will need to apply for a "Minor Subdivision" approval from the PEC through the Town of Vail's normal approval process, but Dirk said this approval will be easy to achieve, assuming that all Spraddle Creek homeowners support the project. 2. Gross Residential Floor Area (G.RFA)-Given the proposed use of the Maintenance Facility, Dirk indicated that the Planning Staff is willing to work with us to increase the size of structure currently allowed on Tract C (this was a limiting factor when the Caretaker Cottage Addition was initially studied as an alternative last year). This allowable size increase may result from an increase in allowable GR.FA for Tract C or through the attachment of a "Plat Note" that clarifies and/or qualifies that the associated use of the new structure will be for "maintenance and service uses" only ...that is, no "residential" uses. 3. Connection of the New Structure to the Existine Building-The Town of Vail's design requirements state that any structural additions to existing buildings must provide a strong visual connection to the existing structure, such that the overall building has the appearance of being a single structure. Dirk has stated that in his opinion, this requirement could probably be fulfilled through the use of a simple gate and/or landscape wall located between the-existing Caretaker garage and the proposed addition. Dirk also commented that the previous design study does provide a visual connection to the existing structure by the manner in which the roof for the proposed structure ties into the existing roof line. t ^O c?i1?VI '• July 9, 1997 Franco D'Agostino 1315 Spraddle Creek Road Vail, CO 81657 Bill Esrey P.O. Box 11313 Kansas City, MO 64112 Ref: Spraddle Creek Estates Maintenance Facility Dear Franco and Bill: I received a phone call yesterday afternoon from Dirk Mason, staff planning liaison with the Town of Vail Community Development Department, to discuss our pending application to the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) for the proposed maintenance facility located on Tract B. Earlier in the day, Dirk had informed the Town's planning staff of our intentions during a weekly staff work session, and he thought that the staff s comments would be helpful to us as we prepare for the first step in the approval process. Dirk stated that there was absolutely no support from any members of the Planning Staff to recommend the project to the PEC, due to the fact that it is located on Tract B, which is zoned as "Natural Area Preservation" (i.e., Open Space). In fact, Dirk made it clear that the Stn (will recommend denial of the project to the PEC, if the currently proposed project is submitted for review and approval. Dirk had previously stated that there was a certain risk associated with development on the Tract B parcel, because of the "Open Space" zoning designation of the lot, included as part of the original plat for the Spraddle Creek Estates subdivision. In turn, I have brought to your attention this potential problem associated with development of the project. However, until this juncture, the Town Planning Staff's collective opinion on the matter had not been expressed. Based on this new information, I believe that it would be a mistake to proceed with our application to the PEC for re-zoning and minor subdivision of the Tract B parcel, as outlined in my July 7 letter to you. In my opinion, for us to continue the process of attempting to gain approval by the most expeditious means would be inappropriate and somewhat ill-advised, given Staff's recommendation for the project ...this approach does not appear to me to be a good use of 0 your monetary investment in the project, since the apparent chances of gaining approval are quite 0 01211110UWAY 1ANB- GUMOC SPRINA COLIKA10 81601 • • slim, if not nonexistent. As a result, I have asked Sam Ecker at Peak Land Surveying to suspend his work on the project until further notice. Based on my conversation with Sam yesterday afternoon, his firm had not yet started its work related to the Re-Plat of the Tract B parcel, other than to assemble copies of the Spraddle Creek plat information to send to me. I believe that we need to sit down and rethink our alternatives and options for this proposed project before we continue to seek approval from the Town of Vail. Based on the Planning staff's input as conveyed to me yesterday by Dirk, several alternatives exist, depending upon the direction that you believe is best. From the Planning Staff's perspective, the following options represent--in descending order of preference--their thoughts on possible solutions for a maintenance facility at Spraddle Creek: 1. Addition to the .Existinp, Caretaker's Cottage-As you know, this alternative has been previously considered, with a conceptual design study prepared by No Name Architects. At the time this study was prepared, the size of the proposed addition was limited by the remaining Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) available for the platted Parcel C on which the Caretaker Cottage is located, as well as the topographic constraints of the site. During my discussions of that project last summer with Lauren Waterton, another member of the Town's Planning Staff, there was no indication that the Town would consider an increase to the GRFA for the site. Dirk now says that the Staff would support an increase in GRFA, which would allow for a larger addition to be placed on this site,.. however, further site analysis would need to be conducted, in order to determine whether or not the physical constraints of this site would support a larger structure. 2. Location of the Maintenance .Facility on an Existinp, Lot- Staff would prefer the placement of the Maintenance Facility on a parcel of land that has been previously platted for development (i.e., "Hillside Residential" zone designation), rather than on land zoned as "Open Space". We have previously been told by the Planning Staff that if a portion of an existing lot was to be "carved out" for the Maintenance Facility, the associated GRFA for that lot would be reduced accordingly. This obviously has an impact on the marketability and sales price associated with such a lot...and this situation is perhaps unacceptable. According to Dirk, Staff may be willing to consider the possibility of not negatively impacting the associated lot's GRFA, if the Maintenance Facility is located on a parcel already platted as developable land. However, there is also the question about the acceptability of such a proposition to existing or future owner(s) of such a lot. 3.. Desienation ofAlternate "Oren ? gace" as a Trade-odor the Re Zonine of Tract B to Allow Development of the Maintenance Facility-This alternative does not really appeal to the Planning Staff, since they clearly do not favor development located on land zoned as "Open Space". However, if Tract B is the only possible location for the Maintenance Facility, the only way that the Staff would consider this site, is if another parcel of land of equal or greater size was proposed to be offered in return for the development rights on Tract B. It should be noted that I have emphasized several times in my discussions with Dirk that Franco "donated" a substantial amount of the overall subdivision's holdings to "Open Space" during the Town's initial approval of Spraddle Creek Estates. In response, Dirk has stated that this factor was taken into consideration during the initial approvals for the subdivision itself, and do not really factor into our current approval request. t The alternatives described above may or may not be acceptable to the Spraddle Creek Home- owners Association. Obviously, there are numerous complexities involved in the consideration of each option, and because of these associated difficulties, I believe that to expect an expeditious solution for the proposed project would be somewhat unrealistic. Given our current understanding of the Town Planning Staffs view of the project and their lack of support for the project, I believe that construction of the Maintenance Facility will not be possible during 1997. 1 would suggest that the two of you discuss the contents of this letter with each other, and then contact me with further direction on this matter. If it is appropriate for me to schedule a joint meeting between ourselves and Dirk Mason, I would be happy to set this tip if you will notify me to your schedules and availability. As always, I am available to meet with each of you individually or jointly at your convenience to discuss this project and the future direction you wish to pursue with this endeavor. Sincerely, W.

To me it is like the big guy trying to stand right at the curb of the parade. Lionshead certainly could use some spiffing-up but in the process we certainly don't want to destroy the ambience. Sincerely, Doug and Sandra Haynes McMinnville, TN My wife and I own property in Lionshead and are excited about redevelopment. For years prior to our purchase it had been our dream to own a ski chalet with a beautiful view of the mountains. We looked at many different resort areas but settled on Lionshead. We had considered Beaver Creek but did not pursue that area primarily because of the blocked views by the multistory buildings. Just stand by the nice new ice rink in Beaver Creek and look around. For all you can tell you might be in any large city. According to the most recent mailing addressing the Lionshead redevelopment progress 710 of the existing buildings in Lionshead exceed the permitted GRFA and 84% exceed the allowed building height. The mailing goes on to state that this is because they were built prior to the adoption of zoning regulations for the area. It seems that this Height/Mass issue has already been considered and someone thought that bigger is not necessarily better and enacted regulations to prevent future structures from blocking the mountain view. Even though the view from our condo will not be greatly affected it will greatly affect the view from our favorite restaurants and 1 of 1 2/13/98 8:00 AM From: Robert LeVine To: Town Council & PEC Date: 2111198 Time., 2:47:34 PM 011 A A 6A ? 680 W.

While I'm confident that I was passionate enough (too much perhaps?) about the difficulty of redevelopment; I don't think I stressed enough how much we need your help. Page i of 1 I don't mean to suggest that this problem is yours alone to solve. Rather, it is really up to the fourteen different condominium properties that comprise most of Lionshead's infrastructure. But as I said, the task is difficult to say the least, so your help is crucial. In addition to accomplishing the communities goal's identified in the masterplan project, redevelopment is also critical to the basic improvement of our lodging product. As we have discussed before and as the Vail Tomorrow effort has addressed, a frightening number of our guests feel that they are not getting good value for their lodging dollar. The importance of this problem to Vail's ongoing success cannot be overemphasized, and if you'd like more information on that point I'd be happy to provide it. Fixing up the exterior of buildings goes hand in hand with the improvement of the common areas, the accommodations themselves, and everything that contributes to our guests' lodging experience. I hope you agree that we simply cannot afford the "no-action" alternative, from either a legislative or a functional standpoint.

A request for a minor subdivision, to modify a platted building envelope, to allow for a maintenance structure to be constructed adjacent to the caretaker residence, located at 914 Spraddle Creek Road/Tract C, Spraddle Creek Estates. Applicant: Spraddle Creek Estates Maintenance Association, represented by David Argo Planner. Reed Ovate Reed Ovate gave an overview of the staff memo. Greg Moffet asked if the applicant had anything further to add. He did not. Greg Moffet asked for any public comments, There were none. John Schofield had no comments, Gene Uselton had no comments. Greg Amsden had no comments. Galen Aasland stated that this request met the objectives for a minor subdivision. Ann Bishop was in agreement with Galen°s comments. Diane Golden had no comments. Greg Moffet had no further comments. John Schofield made a motion for approval, in accordance with the staff memo. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes February 23, 1998 Greg Amsden seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0. 2. A request for a conditional use permit, to allow for four (4) additional offices and one (1) meeting room to accommodate the VRD sports staff, located at the Vail Tennis Center, 700 South Frontage Road East/Ford Park. Applicant: Michael Ortiz, Vail Recreation District Planner: George Ruther George Ruther gave an overview of the staff memo. Greg Moffet asked if the applicant had anything to add. Piet Pieters, from the VRD, said approval of the request would ease up the parking problem. He said the move would consolidate operations and save taxpayer money, as well as refunding back to the Town 16 parking passes. Therefore, approval of the request would be a benefit to the Town. Greg Moffet asked for any public comment. There was none. George Ruther added that the Town was currently in a lease agreement with the VRD, which would need to be amended. He said the parking passes would need to be addressed in the new lease agreement. Galen Aasland stated that this request was in accordance with the Ford Park Master Plan, however, he was concerned about the parking. Galen said that the Rec District had been against parking in Ford Park and now that the VRD needed parking they are not against it. He said the VRD should put money down for the future parking needs, as they will ultimately want a longer-term parking solution. Galen would like to see a financial commitment from the VRD to allow for parking spaces to be provided in the future. Ann Bishop had no comments. Diane Golden asked if the spaces would be for anyone and not reserved just for the VRD. Piet Pieters said the VRD was never against parking. He said they were against giving up the playing fields for parking. John Schofield asked what the jobs were for the people moving into the new offices. Piet Pieters said there were no additional services, as registration was already in the Ford Park location. John Schofield disagreed with the VRD as to their stand on the parking issue, as the VRD had lobbied Council to oppose parking. John alsos-aid -theVRD needed to provide parking. Gene Uselton stated the staff's condition in the memo needed work. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes February 23, 1998 2 Greg Amsden stated employees wanted to park at their work place and he asked if there existed a possibility of realignment of the two eastern softball fields for future parking. Piet Pieters said, yes. Greg Amsden said approval would take care of the 5 spaces and the VRD was displacing guest parking for employee parking. He thought there needed to be a more systematic approach, as this was a quick fix. Piet Pieters gave a heads up that they would be using the playing fields for'99 Championship parking. Greg Moffet stated in the course of renegotiating the lease, it created an opportunity to do what they wanted. He said in his mind, the VRD was shifting parking from one end of Town to the other. He said the question was if it met the criteria and he was disinclined to include the condition as proposed, as it would end up being negotiated by the Town Attorney during the renegotiation of the new lease. Galen Aasland made a motion for approval with two conditions. The first condition was that no parking spaces be reserved for VRD use only at Ford Park. He said the second condition was that Council consider a letter of intent of the VRD's financial commitment for future parking space improvements and that the VRD redefine their position on parking in Ford Park. Ann Bishop seconded the motion. Greg Moffet said, regarding the motion that procedurally, this request would not go to Council. Galen Aasland amended the motion to change the second condition to have staff consider letter of intent, rather than Council. Gene Uselton asked if this request would come back to the PEC. Diane Golden asked if it should be a condition to have it come back to the PEC. Greg Moffet stated that once this was involved in a lease negotiation, all the issues would be on the table. The motion passed by a vote of 5-2, with John Schofield opposed as it needed more restriction and Gene Uselton opposed as it was overly restrictive. 3.
