Lot M. 11. E3ACKGROUND • In 1976, the Vail Tawn Cauncil passed Ordinance No. 7, Series 1976, establishing, 5pecial Development Districts No, 6, Vail Village Inn, to ensure the unified and` coordinated development of a critical site to the Town of Vai(, as a whole, and in a manner suitable far the area in which it is situa#ed, • ln 1985, the Vail Tawn Cauncil passed C?rdinance No, 1, Series 1985, praviding certain amendments to the approved development plan for Spec'rafi Develapment District No. 6. i in 1987, the Vail Town Council passed Qrdinance No.14, Series 1987, which amended and modifred Section 8 relating to the allowed density of the developrnent plan for 5peciai Development District No. 6, • In 1992, tbe Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 9, Series 1991, providing for ~ 7Cil9A~(1FYAIL certain amendments to the approved development plan for Specia! C7evelopment District No. 6, which relates specificai(y to Phase IV. ~ ~ !n 1992, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 2, Series 1992, allowing for mcadifications and amendmen#s ta variaus sections of SpeciaN Development District No, 6 which related directly to Phase IV, and which made cer#ain changes ta the approved developrrtenf plan for Speciai Development District No. 6 as they relate to Phase 1V. - in 1998, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance Rlo. 24, Series 1998, providing certain amendments to the approved developmen# plan for Special C7eveloprnen# Qistrict fi1o. 6. Accarding ta the ardinance which originally established Special Developmen# District Na. 6, the underlaying zoning for the District is Public Accommodation. The purpose of the Dis#rict is fio prouide addifional areas in Town far mixed use deve#apment. The District has resul#ed in a substantial increase in aIlowable density on the site of the vail Viliage lnn, When originally ccrnsidering deviations firom the underlying zoning irt 1976, the Town Council found that such devia#ions were acceptable as the community was to realize a substarttial increase in the hc#el bed base. An increase in short-#erm accommodations has been a long standing objec#ive of the community. III. DE!L/ELt)RMERIT REVIEIN PROCESS The Town of Vaii Municipal Gode ou#lines the process by which an applicatian for an amendment to an estabiished Special Deveiopment Qistrict shall be reviewed. The fallowing is a description • ofi the revieva process: Accarding to Section 12-9A-1, Purpose, of the Municipal Gode, the purpase of the Special ~ Development C7istrict is, "to encourage flexbility and creativity in the development of land in order #o promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality a# the new development with the Town; ta facilitate the adequate and economical provision af stree#s and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features n# apen space areas; and to further the vverall gaals of the community as stated in the Vail Comprehensive Plan.

Typicaliy, the Tawn has identified the incremental increase in employees generated as a resuit of the new developrnent and then required the developer to provide deed-restricted housing for a percentage of the rrew employees. tn this instartce, the devetoper has s'ndicated a desire to pravide deed- restricted housing. Af this point howeuer, it is unctear as to how the Town will deterrnine the hausing need and where the housing should be provided.

F:tEVERYONEIPEC WIEMOSl581DAMAR.622 ~ ~ 5 ~ MEMORANDUM TO: PCanning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: June 22, 1998 SUBJECT; A request far a wall height variance, to aIlow for a 25-foot tall retaining wail to replace an existing failing retaining wall, located at 2662 - 2692 Cortina Lane, Lots 7, 8, 9and 10, Block B, Vaif Ridge Subdivision. Applicant: Hans Weimann, represented by Yenter Companies Planner: George Ruther 1. pESCRtPTION (JF THE REQUEST AND BAGKGROUND The applicant, Hans Weimann, represented by Yenter Companies, is requesting a re#aining wall heigh# variance to a11ow for the construction of a 25-foot tall retaining wait at 2662 - 2692 Cortina L.ane. The new 300 faot long, 25-foot tall boulder retaining wall is intended #o replace an existing 20 to 24-foot tall, boulder retaining walL The applicant is prbposing to remove the existing retaining wall, restabilize the slope, and reconstruct the bouider retaining wall. To ensure the stabili#y of the new boulder retaining wall, soil nai(ing and other soil' stabilizing #achniques wilt ~be u#ilized. ~ Pursuant to Subsectian 12-14-2 (G), SupPlemental Regulations, of the Municipal Code, in part, "Fences, hedges, wall and landscaped screens shall not exceed three feet (3') in height wi#hin any required front setback area, and shall not exceed 6 feet (6') in height in any other portion of the site, provided that higher fences, hedges, walls or landscaped screens may be authorized by the administrator when necessary to screen public u#ility equipment.,, Since the applicant is proposing to construc# a 25-foot tall retaining wall, and a portion of the new retaining wall will be constructed in tFre frflnt setback, a variance, pursuant to Chap#er 17; Variartces, of the Town a# Vail Municipal Cnde, is required. 11. BACKGROUND • On December 7, 1992, the applicant appeared before #he Town af Vail Planning & Environmental Commiss'ron requesting a wall height varianGe. At that time, #he applicant was requesting a waN height variance to construct a two-#iered, boulder retaining wall apprnximately 300 feet in iength, with each wall 10 to 92 feet in height. The design of the retaining wali permitted a minimum, 2-faat wide, planting area to be maintained` on the terraced area between the boulder walls. The purpose o# praviding fhe #erraced area was to a11ow for landscaping to be planted to screen #he upper tier of the wall. The overall height of the retaining wall was #o be between 20 and 24 fee#. Following a presentation on the variance request at the pubfic hearing, the Planning and Environmentai Commission approved the applicant'svariance request. ~ • On June 30, 1993, the Town of Vail Building Department issued a building permit for the row, *YAIL ~ construcfion of the residences an Lots 7, 8 and 9. The existing boulder retaining wall was constructed in conjunetian with the construction of the three residences, Since that fime, #he boulder wall has failed, causing the appiicant the need to make repairs ta the wall. (11, CRITERIA CfF VARIANCE REQUESTS Upon review of the criteria and findings, the Community Develapment Departmen# recarnmends approval af #he requested wall height uariance based on the foilawing factors: A. Gonsiderafion of Factors: 1. The relationship af the requested vaciances to o#her existing or potential uses and strwctures in the vicinity. In 1992, the Community Development Department recommended approval nf the original wall height variance request due to the excessive slope of the praperty. Specifically, staff was concerned that without #he granting of the retaining wall varianee, access to the appticant's property would be significantly limited. At the time, staff believed the ihat terrace area, when planted with a sufficient amount of landscaping, would screen the large boulder retaining walls. Due to the po#entiaf for #he wal(s to again fail, staff no longer believes that a terrace area needs to be provided. tNhile the retaining wall praposed by the applican# are no doubt massive in scale, the three structures built an the prdperty adequately screen the wall #rom the ~ view of adjacenf praperties. S#afif believes that there will be no negative relationship of the requested wall height variance#o other existing or other po#ential uses and structures in the vicinity of the applicant's property. Staff would recommend hawever, that the existing landscap'rng on-site be transplan#ed and/ar repiaced following the recanstruction of the wall: In canversations with the consulfing engineer an the praject, the engineer has indicated fhat flnce properly canstructed, the wall will support vegetation along Cofina Lane. 2. The degree to which re(ief from the strict and literal interpretation and enfarcement of a specified regtalation is necessary to achieve compatibility and unifarmity of treatment among sites in the viainity or #o attain the objectives af this #itle without grant of speciat privilege. Staff recognizes that the original steepness of Lat 7, 8, and 9 made access #o the Io#s very difficult. Staff continues tn believe #hat relief from the strict interpretatian of the retaining wall height regulation is warranted, and we feei that the variance requested is reasanable given the existing site canstraints. 3. The effect of the reques#ed variance on light and air, disfiribution of populatian, transportatian and traffic faci(ities, public facilities and utilities, anc9 public safety. ~ Staff does not feel that the proposal, as presented, will have a substantial adverse impact on any of the above ifems. The current retaining wall proposal has been reviewed by the Town of Vail Public Works Departmertt and the Town Engineer does not believe that the structural integrity o# 2 ~ Cartina Lane wiil be adversely impacted. B. The Planninq._and Environmental Commission shall make the foilawina findings before pranting a variance: 1. That the gran#ing of the variance will nat cons#itute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on ofher properties classified in the same disfrict, 2. That the granting of the variance wili not be detrimentai to #he public health, safety or we(fare, or rnaterially trrjurious #o properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted far one or mare of the following reasons: a.

Staff's recommendation #or approval is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section III of this rrremorandum. Specifically, stafif recognizes the steep topography of each of the lots and' feels that the replacement of the existing wall is necessary to support Cortina Lane, the existing driveways, and to protect the residences on each of the lots. _ Should the Planning and Enuironmental Comrnission choose to appcove the app(icant's variance request, staff would recommend that the faNnwing conditions be attached #o the approval: 1 . That the applicant transplant and/or replace a minimum of 25 caliper inches of Aspen trees and a minimum of 481inear feet of Spruce trees between the tap of the wall and Cortina l.ane. Shoutd the Planning and Enviranmental Commission choose tn grant an approval' of the variance request, staff would recommend the PEC make the following findings before granting the variance: 1. That the granting of the variance does not constitute a grant of special' privilege ~ inconsisten# with the limitations an other properties classifiied in the primary - secondary zone district. 3 2. That #he granting of the variance will not be detrimen#ai to the public health, safety or ~ welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity of lots af the applicants praperties. 3. That the strict literal interpreta#ion or enfarcement of the retaining wall height regulation would result in a practical difficulty or upnecessary physical hardship incansistent'with the objectives of the zoning code. Yet there are exceptions or extra ardinary circumstances or conditions appFicable ta ihe applicants property that do nat generally apply to other properties in the primary secandary zone district. 4. That the s#rict interpretation or enforcement of the retairring wall height regulation would deprive the aPplicant of priv'rleges enjoyed by owners of other lats in tne primary secondary zone district. ~ ~ 4 ~ YONTER • Town ofVail 7une 10, 1998 George Ruther By Facsimile Department of Community Development 970-479-2452 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 PRECfSJUN BIAS171UG RE: Variance for Wa11 Height Additional Submittal Information Cortina Chalets I7ear Mr. Ruther: Ct7NTfiACT BLASflN6 SERV/CES I have received additional information from 1VIr. Weimann's attorney, Art Abplanalp, since sendinR my letter ta you an Sunday. To sectic7ns 3and 4b, the follawing amendrnents have been made. Gf)Lt1EN SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS EQUfPMENT SERUICES 3 The lirnitation from which the variance is requested requires that walls within setbacks not exceed three feet, and that ather walls not exceed six feet. The wall which is to be rec4nstructed will have a height af twenty f"rve feet, consistent with the variance which was originally grar~ted ta the W~S71"C#N Vl8RAT1(1N wall which is to be rePlaced. SPE'CtAL1STS 4b The requested variance is necessary in order to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege because granting it is necessary to insure the safety of the existing residences from suffering damage to PO/iTABtE person or prcrperty should the existing boulder wall fail. The new wall CI3USMNG SERVlCES wi1l replace an existing failing wa11. It will eliminate the current danger of bouiders frorn the existing wall from falling and darnaging the hames. The proposed z-etaining wall does not constitute a gxant of special privilage because the replacement of'the existing retaining wall is necessary in orcler to safeguard both the subject property and adja.cent properties which might be endangered by the existing situation.

A request for an extension af a conditional use permit for the Lionshead Children's Ten#, generally located next to the l.ionshead Children's ski schoallTract D, Va'st Liartshead 1st. Appiicant; Vail Associates, represented by David Thorpe Planner: Christie Barton 1. BRCKGROUND ANL3 DESCRIPTION t3F THE REQUEST This applicatian is for an extensian of a conditional use permi#, The #en# has been used seasonally since 1994 for ski schaal instructiorr and for Camp Uaii. The memn from 1997 is attached for yaur reference. The tent has been remnved fram the site. Vail Assoeiates is requesting a condi#ional use permi# to allow the Lionshead Children's Tent to ~ be used only during fhe ski season thraugh the year 2002. The applicant believes the Lionshead Master Plan wiH be concluded by the end of 1998 and the redevelopment will be completed by 2002. Vail Associates is planning an providing permanent space for the activities that presently use the tent in their redevelaprnent. [I. CRITERIA FOR A CtJNDITIONAL USE PERMIT Upon review of Title 12, Chapter 16, the Community Development Department recommends denial of the canditional use permit based upon the fallowing factors: Consideration of Factors: - Befi'ore acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Gommission (PEC) shall consider the following factors wi#h respect to the proposed use: 'I . Relationship and impact mf the use on the development objec#ives af the Town. Staff has concerns with the cnntinued use of the tent and has sta#ed this in previous memos. Either a permanent building must be cansidered ar #he use continued at a different location. VA should consider leasing space within its existing buildings for this use (i.e., the o1d gondola building, ete.); instead of leasing area to third parties 2. `fhe effect of the use on light and air, distributipn of population, transportation facilities, +utilities, schaols, parks and recreation facilit"res, artd other public facilities ~ needs. Staff believes that there will be little impact fram the prnposed use on these issues. row,~o *WL . 3. Effect upon #raffic with particular reference to congestion, autarr?otive and ~ pedestrian safety and convenierrce, traffic flow and cantrol, access, marteuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. The prapasal will have little negative impact fln this criteria. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the propased use is to be Iocated, including the scale and bulk of the prt>posed use in relation to surrnunding uses. The temporary tent has been a permanent fixture in Lionshead. The s#ructure is out of charac#er for the area and does not improve the arehi#eetural integrity of the area. Due to its `#emporary' nature, it daes not benefit frorn building and fire safety codes as would a permanent structure. Residents over the years have voiced concerns over #his #ent and other improvements in the area. Staff be{ieves VA should find a new home for the uses which occur in the fent. It appears that priarity has not been given to this-use and VA ins#ead ieases space that could have atherwise housed the activities in this tent. III. FINDINGS FOR CONDITIUNAL USE PERMIT The Planning and Environmentaf Commission shall make the follawing findings before granting a conditional use permit for a ternporary tent: 1. That the proposed location of the use is nat in accardance with the purpnses of this Ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is loca#ed. 2. Tha# the proposed lacation of the use and the canditions under which it wauld be ~ operated or main#ained will be detrimental to the public health, safiety, or welfare or materially injurious to propertiesor impcovements in fhe vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will not comply with each of the applicable provisions of Title 12 of the Vai! Municipal Cade. 1V.

Vail Assoeiates herewith submits for extiension af the eonditional use permit for the Lionshead Children's Tent. The tient was originally approved as a temparary (winter only) structure for use by the Lionshead Children's Ski School. The intent at the ~ original approval in 1995 was for the tent to be used far three years until a permanent solution could be constructed in Lionshead. Since that time the tent has remained in place (as appraved by The Town of Vail) and has been used by The Town of Vail and by Vail Associates for summer childrenys programs. The tent has also been utilizecl far the originally planned winter program funcrion. The tent isscheduled to beSett,Rg tne dismantled dltring May 1998. Standnrd for wDr+d crais Alpine Rezortsl The Lionshead redevelopment was the permanent replacement that was envisianed by Vail Associates during the 1995 approval process far the Lionshead Children's Tent. Since that redevelopment pracess has taken longer than originally anticipated, the need for the pragram space that the tent p:rovide$ has not yet been filled. The tent continues to serve its original function in the winter. The addition of the new gondola has increased guest traffic into Lionshead. The increased traffic has increased the number of children usxng the tent. In the winter time the Lionshead Children's tent is used by the following groups and functions: 1. The Lianshead Chiidren's Ski School 2. The Project Challenge Program 3. The Youth Devo Program 4. Special Children's Events ~ 137 Benchmark Roatl . PO Box959 . Avon, Golorado . 81 b20-0959 • phane 570.845 2350 + fax 970.845 2358 t~~ i. E ~ ~ The function ofthe tent vvill not change: 1. The relationship and impact on the development objectives ofthe town will not change. 2. Effect on Iight and air, transprotation facilities, utilities, schools, park and recreation facilities and other public facilities will remain as a minirnal effect or as no impact. 3. Effect on traffic wi11 remain as no impact. 4. Effect an the character of the surraund'zng area will remain as currently exists. Thc exterior of the tent that was previausly approved will remain unchanged. Vail Associates requests that the right for winter onlv use be extended for the Lionshead Children's Tent untii the Lionshead redevelapment becomes a reality. At that time the tent will be permanently removed from Lionshead, and the programs that currently take place in the tent will be Telocated to a facility that is appropriately designed to fit into the new Lionshead skier serviees configuration. Until that time, the children and the families that visit Lionshead need the space that the tent provides. ~ Sincerely, cc: Chris Ryman „ ./'Joe Macy David E.

Applicant; Mr. & Mrs. William Esrey Planner: Daminic Maurie(#o 1. DESCRIP71iJN OF THE REQUEST AND BACKGROt1ND The applicant is requesting that the approved plat fnr Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision be amended to add a plat note aliowing "in#eriar canversions" for existing homes within this subdivision. In August of 1997, the Town Counci{ approved an ordirrance which allowed interiar conversifln to accur within existing single-farnily, two-farnily, and primary/secondary residential dweAing units. The ordinance specifically required that if a lot or subdivision con#ained pfat restrictions that establish specific development standards with regard to GRFA, that those plats would have to be ~ amended to allow interior conversions. The applicant is proposing that #he following language be added to the plat: Pursuant to Section 12-15-4w InteriorConversions, of the Town of VailMunicipalCade, any existing dwelling unit in this subdivisian shall be entitied to construct interior conversions. An "existing unit" shali mean any dwelling unit within a structure containing no more than two (2) dweiling units (exclusive af "employee housing units'" as defined in Section 12-2-2 of this Title) that has been ctinstructed prior to August 5, 1997 and has received a certificate af occupancy, or has been issued a building permit prior to August 5, 1997 or has received final design Review 8oard approval prior to August 5, 1997. The applicant has received the approval of all (10) lot awners within the subdivision, - This proposal will provide far consistent applicati4n of the GRFA regulation to similarly situated prqperties within the Town of Vai(, !I. MINOR StJBDIVISI4N REVIEW CR(TERIA One basic premise of subdivision regulatinns is #hat the minimum standards for the creation of a new (ot must be met. Althaugh this plat note addition involves a rninor replatting o# an existing Iot, there is no ather process for review of such a request other than the minor subdirrisian process. As a result, this project will be reviewed under the same criteria outlined in Ti#ie 13 of the Town of ldai! Municipal Code. The first set of review crrteria to be considered by the PEC ~ ~'OWNO *Ya for a minor subdivision application Es as #oliows: ~ A. l.ot Area This proposal wili not affect the fot area. B. Frontaae The Vai1 Municipal Code requires that lots in the Hillside Residential zone disCrict have a minimum frontage of 50'. The proposal wili not atfect the #rontage f4r this lot. C. Site C3imensit~ns The Vaii Municipal Code requires that each site be a# a size and a shape capable of enclosing a square area, 80` on eaeh side, wi#hin its boundaries. The proposal will not a#fiect the site dimension$ for this lot. The second'set of revtew criteria to be considered with a minar subdivision request is as outlinedin the Subdivisian Regulations, and isas follows: The burden of proof shall rest with the applicant to shbw that the application is in compliance with the intended purpose of Title 13, Chapter 4, the zoning ordinanee, and other pertinent regulations that the PEC deems applicable, Due consideration sha11 be given ta 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 ta subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordinances and resalutions and other applicable documents, effec#s on the aesthetics of the Town, environmental integrity and compatibility with surrounding uses. The subdiviSion purpose s#atements are as follows; 1. Ta infarm each subdivider of the standards and criteria by which development and proposals will be evaluated and #o provide information as to the type and extent of improvements required. Staff Response: One purpose of subdivision regulatians, and any develaprnent contral, is to establish basic ground ru(es which the staff, the PEC, applicant and the community can failow in the public review process. Althaugh this request does not involve the creation of a new subdivision, or a resubdivision of an existing parcel of fand, it is the appropriate process ta amend a plat note. 2. To provide fior the subdivision of property in the future without conflict with development on adjacent property. Staff Response: The praposed plat note amendment does not create any conflict with development an adjacent iand. Additionatly, staf# has not received any input from the adjacent property owners to wham fetters of notification were sent. ~ 2 3. To protect and conserve the va(ue of land throughaut the municipality and ihe value of buildings and irriprovements on the land. Staff Response: Staff believes that this praposal wi11 not 6e detrimental'to the value of land throughout Vail, nor wiil it be detrimental tp the value of land in the immediate area. 4. To insure that subdivision of proper#y is in compliance with the Tawn Zaning Ordinance, to ach'reve a harmarrious, convenient, workable reiationship among land uses, cansistent with municipal development objectives. Staff Res~c~nse;, Staff believes that the proposed plat note amendment will nat preclude a harmanious, convenient and workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal develapment abjectives, 5. To gu'?de public artd private policy and action in order to provide adequate and efficient transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks, playgraunds, recreational and other public requirements and facilities and generally to provide that public facilities will have sufficient capacity to serve the proposed subdiviSion. Staff Response: The purpose o# the subdivisian regula#ions is intended primarily to address impacts of Iarge scale subdivisions o# property, as opposed to this par#icular proposal to add a plat note. Staff does nat believe that this proposal will have any negative impaefs on any of the , above Iisted public facilities. ~ 6. To provide for accurate Iegal descriptions of newly subdivided land and to establish reasonable and desirable constructian, design standards and procedures. Staff Response; This is an inherent goal of the subdivision regulations that is not applicable to the proposed plat nate. 7. To prevent the poilution 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 rnunicipality in order to preserve the in#egrity, stabilit}r, and beauty of the eornrnunity and the vaiue of iand. Staff Response: This proposal will have no irnpact on these issues. ~ 3 tll. S'CAEE REGCIMMEN[)AT{flN Staff recommends approval ofi the applicant's request for a minor subdivision ta add a plat note allowing interior conversions to existing dweliing unifs within Spraddle Creek Estates Subdivision, subject to the following #inding: That the proposai meets the review criteria for a minor subdivision contained in Title 13, Subdivision Regulations. 7he recommendation of approval is aisa subjec# to the fallowing condit"ron: That the appficanfi pravide a revised plat with afi required signatures for recarding. F:1E V E RYON E\PE G\M EM OS\98\S P RAD D LE.622 ~ ~ 4 x ~ VAIL PLAZA HC}TEL Currently known as the Va11 VI`IIage Int1 DEVELUPMENT PRESENTA71C7N MISTORY The current owner of the WI has 'been in Iove wi#h Vail since 1972, when he first arrived. He acquired #he Vill in 1996, with the intention to creafie a pasitive contribution fiawards the best }nterest of the Town of Vail and the community that he laves. The first alternative studied was to maintain the basic hotel and just remodel the old rooms Iocated in the building where Craig's Market is located. Although economically sound and comfortable, this alternative was not pursued because it would not be a significant contribution to Vail: no additional hofiel roorns; would not generate additional business to the existing rnerchants; no additional sales tax tt7 the t4Wt1. ~ The sectind a~#ternative wa$ to maintain the Frontage road part of the hotei where the restaurant, Iobby and 26 roorns are located. We wauld only redevelop the west part on Vail road, tearing down the old building (Craig's Marke#), thus buildirtg there and on the existing parking Iot, and to achieve the 145 hotel raoms required by the Special District. The existing lease of Craig's Market would expire in 2001. The remaining years of that lease were. bought, overcoming that nbstaCle, but even though this salutian added some hotel rooms, it was not pursued because it did nat change the scale and the character of the hotel, therefore being economically questionable and, like the first alternative, it sti11 did not represent a satisfactory contribution to Vail. The #hird alternative resulted fram intensive studies and consuifiation to old time Iocal friends and other knowledgeable people: what does the Town of Vail need more at the present time ? The answer was very clear: what would benefit Vaii most is ta . develop a World Class Hotel, with Gonvention fac`rlities and a11 the necessary amenities with a large number of rooms, to constitute an ~ "anchor hotel" for Vail, as outlined in i#ems (1), (2) and (3) beflow, bringing the benefits thereafter described . 0 . The architec#s Zeheren & pssociates were challenged to accommodate #his program in a configuration harmoniaus to the immedia#e neighboncood and to the Vail Character. After some studies they informed the owner that it wauid require a high cost sol'ution: to go 4 levels under ground. The owner aceepted and after various months of work they successfully developed the plans now presented. . (1) A Comptetian tca Vail's Main Entrance _ ~ Located in the soutneast block afi S.

The new building will replace a1l ofi the existing buildings curren#ly known as the WI- The main entrance ar street frnnt faces S. Frontage Rd. and is positioned in the area between the Gateway Building and the Viilage Inn P1aza Condominiums. (see picture 2) The south side ar back of the building will face the Vail ski area. ~ There is immediate pedestrian access to East Meadow Drive, Vail Viiiage and the town bus system through the Village Inn Plaza retail area. On Vail Rd. the new building will replace the existing parking lot and the old building that now hauses Craig's Market. (see picture 1) The deveFopment will serve as a buffer for the I-70 and S. Frontage Rd. traffic noise. (2) A World Class Hotel • Majestic Ivbby and gallery atrium. (see picture 3) • 381 rcroms + 12 tivinglsteeping raoms = 786 pillows (fncludes 12 hotel penthouses wi#h Iivinglsleeping roflms plus 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms). Besides the penthouses, the ho#e# rooms can be combined and made into suites with livingtsleeping rooms plus 1 to 5 bedrooms. * Convention Center: 16,750 s+qw#t.

The deveioprnent is extremely functianal in this respect; pedestrians only fo the Vi11age; vehicles t7UT. * Alpine environment The architects, Zehren & Associates, successfully created a high quaiity aIpine design, exterior and interior (see piewres 1#rough 5). Due to it's Iocation on Frontage Rd. it is possible to accomrnodate the necessary mass for the required nurnber of hotel rooms, amenities, services, parking, etc. in a configurafion harrnonious to the immediate neighborhot7d (pictures 1 and 2). To achieve #his ~ tfie development descends 4#evels underground from the S. Fronfiage Rd. level (an expensive proposition) and also recess the higher floors, so tha# they are not seen from the street. ~ {4~ Y, ar, round high occupancv A high occupancy will be obtained through aggressive marketing of a Wor1d Class Hotel, afFering all of the necessary amenities, for both the FIT (firee independent trave!) and group guest. Accarding ta a study performed by Panne11 Kerr Fores#er, based on data from Meetings and Conventions Magazine, the annuai group business marke# is in the magnitude of 71.5 mil#ion d!ei+egates plus approximately 15 milllon accampanying persons. Resulting in a total market of approximately 86.5 miFlion guests Given #he hotei's Gonvention Center capacity, 1,400 people, the sui'ficient number of rooms, suites and penthouses, the new hotel will be in the posi#ion ta successfully mar.ket itseif to those 86.5 million quests. The needed market share is anly 0.14°l0. ~ 1'rice is of the utmost importance to this market, 6n arder to achieve ccrmpetitive hotel rates (particularly for the shoulder seasons) the 12 hotel penthouses (41 bed raoms) will be soid as Frac#ional Fee Club for 28 season weeks (The ownership of the remaining 24 shoulder season weeks will be retained by the hotel). This will lower the base cost of the remaining weeks, therefore allawinq the hatel to reduce the rate to a verv comraetitive level. The final resuit is that the Club units wiil have the highest possible nccupancy. a} during the high season the unit will be accupied by an owner, (an owner that purchased a week or weeks convenient for him) and b) during the shauider season the unit wilf be occupied by delegates fram groups baaked fhrough the hotel's strong marketing and competitive rates. ~ ~ There is a c/ose inter-d'epenalency among all of the cvmpanentsi one needs the other to make the development eperationally arrd econamically viable : • Hiqh occupancy (particularly on shau/der season,s) re,g„uires. a) a strong marketina budget , b) aApropriafe praduct and c) competitiue rates, . • i/ail P/aza Hotef with its number of rooms and exce//ent amenities is the appropriafe product and has enough nurnber of raoms fo provide the volume of business ta affdrd the necessary strong marfce#ing bu?clget • The adepuate amenities (majestic lobby and gallery, canvenfion facrlities, state vf the art Health Club/SPA, casual and fine clining, indoor parking, etc,) are economical&, jusfifiable a»ly in coniunction with a /arpe hotel. • The ownershi of the 24 shoulder season weeks of the Cftrb brings fhe hotel to 381 rooms on sh4u/der season, at an auerage lower base cast (thanks to the sale of the 28 good weeks), which is very iaetpful to aCtow competifive marketing ta groclps, ~ therefare contribu#inq to achieve the desired,hiqh occup~~cy.

The study "Potential Market Demand for Conference Center in Vaifi" prepared in 1993 by Robert S Benton & Assaci~tes and Hire & Associates for the Town of Vail points out thAt the them proposed Conference Center for Vail would have important constrains, like. • Ntrn existenee af a Iocal airport far large airplanes, • The use of the faciiity also as performance #heater would lirnit the Ganference days to market and, most important, • The lack of a"anchor hotel„ under the sarhe roof, that coukl ~ serve has headquarters for the canventibn. Even with these consfirains, the study estimated that the Conference Center would generate demand for 72,200 roams ~ night/year. Now Vail has the required airport and this development doesn't have those constraints. AIso, taken into consideratian these factors and others (Vaif's impravements since that time, e#c.), it is safe to assume that the room night demand generated will be more than 1/3 higher than that, say: 100,000 room nightslyear. This exceeds our hotel capacity dedicated to graups (65,000 room nightsfyear). Therefore, the overflow (estimated 35,000 rooms night/year) will be directed to other hotels in Vail. This same study considers that the spousallfamily attendance will be significantly higher than the Nationa! Average of 20,7% (Mee#ings and Conventions Magazine), say: 40°/a, therefore bringing the #otal ta: 100,000 rodms nightlyear x 1.4 peoplelrovm = 140,400 (delegates, spouses and family) dayslyear.

WRNNAH June +~s 1998 . Planning and Environrnental Commission . Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail CO 8]b57 Re: Vail Plaza Hatel Project I7ear Commission Members: We represent three residential unit owners at Vail Gateway 1'laza and have been requested by thern to pravide you with written comment with xespect to the application of Daymer Corporatian for a major amendment to Special Development District #6, the Vail Village Inn Site (,•the Vaii Plaza Hote1 Project" or "the Pro}ect"). Having reviewed the plans submitted fio the Town, we wish to set forth our cancerns with respect to the relationship ofthe Project to ~ the Vail Village Master Alan. F'rom aur review of the ptans, it appears that the partions of the Project iocated immediately adjacent to Vail Gateway Plaza w'rll be CO to 84 feet above the existing grade ta the south of Gateway Plaza on Vaal Road and 70 to 100 feet above the existing grade tv the east of Gateway Plaza an Frontage Road. This proposed building height is not in confornuty with the Canceptual Building Height Plan ofthe Vail Village Master Plan; which establishes a building height guideline on thase parcels adjacent to Gateway Plaza of 3-4 (stepped) building stories. Inasmuch as the Canceptual Building Height Plan defines "building story,> as nine feet, the corresponding building height guidelines are 27 #o 36 feet. Nor is the proposed building height in conformity with the Sub-Area #1-1 Pian at page 37 afthe Master PIan, which requires that the mass af buildings "step-up„ fram pedestrian scale along Meadaw Drive to 4-5 staries along Frontage Road. Construing the two together, the structure to the sQUth of Ga.teway Ptaza could not by any interpretation exceed four stories or 36 feet. The proposeti building heights for the Project adjacent to C'rateway Pla.za therefore exceed master plan limitations by as much as 33 to 48 feet on Vai1 Road and' 43 to 64 feet an Frontage Raad, In other words, the plan proposes a building that is at least twice the height limitatians of the Vai1 Viltage Master Plan on thase parceZs. 4 ` Sectiort 12-9A-8 caf#he "Vail Municipal Code includes as part of the design criteria far approval ofan SIJD "conformity with applicable etements ofthe Vail Comprehensive Plan, Tawn policies and urban design plans" and provides, with reference to those standards, that: ~ "It sha11 be the burden of the applicant ta demanstrate that submittal material and the praposed development plan comply with each of the fallowing standards, or demonstrate that one ar mnre of them is not applicable, or that a practical soiution cansistenC with the public interest has been achieved; 'ljije are not abte to find anything in the applicant's submittal to suggest that the height Iimitatians of the master plan are not applicable or that the applicant is prQposing a solutian to the conflict with the master plan which is consistent with the public interest. We can anly conciude that the applicant is asking that the height limitations of the master plan be ignared for purpose of the applicatian. It is therefore the purpase of this Ietter tca provide you with a review afColorado 1aw an the retationship between master plans and zoning, ineluding in particular the type of zone district know as the °`pianned unit development" ("PUD"j or, as it is known in Vail, the special developmerrt district (.`SDD;'). Based upon our review afthat iaw, it is our beliefthat the master plan must be strictly adhered to in the cansideration of SDD zoning, and we respeetfuliy request that your commissian so detec'mine at the outset of its consideratian of the application. The Colorado Suprerne Court first addressed the effect of a master pla.n in Theabald v. 13aard qf'C'oirnty Camm 'r.s, 644 P.Zd 942 (Colo. 1982). In that case, the court held that a master plan is advisory only anti that, in order for it to have a direct effect on property ~ rights, it must be further implemented thxaugh zoning. Thereafter, in Becrver Metrdmvs ve Bvard of Cou3rty t'ornm'rs, 709 P.2d 928 (Colo: 1985), the caurt held that, while a master plan as an advisory dcacument is not neeessarily binding on the xoning discretion of a governmentat body, it is binding when the zoning legislation requires comptiance with it. Most recentfy, in Baard of County Comm'rs v. Corra'er, 927 P.2d 1339 (Colo. 1996), our supreme caurt was faced with a subdivision application which conformed with applicable zaning but not with the county master plan, which had been adop#ed as a"guideIine" by the subdivisiorr regulations. Uver two dissents, the court held that the county could enf'orce the master plan cornpliance provision legisiatively aciopted as part of the subdivision reguiatians. Taken together, those cases tell us that, to the extent that zoning is inconsistent with the master plan, ihe rnaster plan will prevail, provided compliance with it is required by some regulatzon. We recognize that the Town has great flexibility in the arnendment of special development district zoning and that a purpose of an ST3D xone district is to encourage flexibility and creativity in the developmen# of land in order to promate its most appropriate use. We also recognize that our tacal district court has upheld the Tawn council's adoption of 5DT) zoning over a chalienge based upon the argument that the adoption ofit cnnstituted "spot zoning„ in contravention of the 7"own's master plan. However, we are nat arguing that the present application viotates abjectives nr polieies ofthe master plan, which are aspirational in nature. Rather, we are arguing that no zone district within the town may vialate a very specific height ~ Iimitation imposed by the rnaster plan, given the master plan's incarporation into the Town's zoning, including SUDzoning. ~ It should also be mentioned that so far as we are awaze ther , , e has not been distnct caurt review of a rezoning in this county since the Conder decision. Prior ta that decision, it rnight have been argued that an SDD xone dis#rict, because it establishes speciat rules for that zone district, nnay override master plan requirements. Hawever, in Conder the court affirmed Larimer County's denial' of an apptication far a PUD subdivisinn based upan the subdivision's ' creation of density in canflict with the county master plan, even thaugh (as the caurt emphasized) the propased use of ihe land was in cornpliarice with the countv's zoning resolution. It must . therefore be concluded that, if the entirety of the Larimer County zoning resolution cauld not have the effect of overriding the countv master plan, PUD or SDD zoning, could not have that ' effect. . We alsn recognize that zoning is a matter of local and muzucipal concem; that the Town's zoning authority is governed by its own charter and ordinances, Zavcrla v. City & Cotrnty of l7enver, 759 P.2d 664 (Calo. 1988), Seruice C)il Co. v. Rhadus, 540 P.2d 807 (Co1o. 1972)y and that the cases cited in this letter address county master plans. However, the grant of zoning authority is contained in statute; § 31-23-301, C.R..S., and that authority is conditioned upon the adoption of a master plan by § 31-23-303y C.R.S. Further, the statutory purposes governing the adoption of a municipal master plan, § 3 i-23-2fl7, C.R.5., track with those gaverning the adoption of a county master plan, § 30-28-107, C.R.S., and both counties and municipalities are required to find master pian compiiance as a candition to approval of a pUD, § 24-67-104(l)(f), C.R. S., absent a supersedrng ordinance of the municipality. Vaii's ordinance in fact is consistent ~ with that statute. Finally, the discussion cantained in the county cases cited are a discussion of general principles of land use law; It i$ therefore our conclusion that your commission rnust give literal effect to the Vaii Viltage Master Ptan, including in particular the height limitations contained in it, in cnnsidering the application €or the Project. 4f course, the fiown's master plans may be amended, but that process should only . be initiated by the T'own council. Pursuant to § 31-27-207, C.R.S., "careful and carnprehensive surveys and studies of present conditions and future growth" are required. Initiation of that process, we believe, nught nat be motivated by a singte applieation. It is nur understanding that the applicant believes that the economic benefit ofits project to the community, including hotel accommadations and conference space, outweigh the importance of master plan eompliance. In that connection, it is well ta bear in mind the purposes ofthe Town's zoning regulations as they are set forth in § 12-1-2, Vail Municipal Code: "these regulations are enacted for the purpose of promating the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhancc its natural environrnent and its established chazacter as a resort and residential comrnunity of high quality." ~ ~ That purpose, we suggest, is intended to preserve the characte$ ofthe town anti ntat ta pramate economic development. We need not remind yau that members of the pubtics inctudin8 aur clients= have ~ relied on the Town's land use regulations. Our ciients were told, when they purchased units at ~`iateway Plaza, that they would continue to have unobstructed views, and they made major investments based upon that inftsrmation. If thnse views at`e obstructed, their investments will be sigziificantly devalued (Jur clients understand that the Town's zaning was nat enacted to protect their persnnal°view comdflrs. Hawever, because they are adjacent iandoumers and because the value of their property may be affected bY your recamrnendation to cauncil, they have sta,ttding before yvu. . 4 Section 12-3-3, Vail Ivfunicipal Code, provides for administrative determination or interpretation of the provisions ofthe zoning ardinance and far review of such deter:nination ar interpretation by your commission. We urge you to request an interpretation of § 12W9A 8(D), Vail Municipal Code, and a determinatioin that that provisiotx requires that the application before you strictly comply with the building height limitations ofthe Vail Village Master Plan. In making that request, we do nat wish to minimize other aspects of the Project which wauld require ihat on the merits your cvmmission mak$ a recommendation of deniai ofthe application. The impact ofthe Project on Frontage Road is dif'ficult even ta irnagine. Traffic flow through the roundabout intersection and along Frontage Road vvould be increased very substantially, with the attendant noise and pol[ution caused by vehicular traffic. Without an impact analysis, it is impossible to say what the effect ofthe Project would be on level of service ~ ai the Main Vail Roundabout. That impact is aggravated by the absence of pedestrian access from the village core. Further, the refocusing o£ activity on Frontage Raad, together with the averall height and znass of the Project, would have a fundamentali p0teIlti+3lly deViiSLiTt1Tlg ~.'ffG'Gt on the feejing and character of Vail. . We intend to press thase issues at tirne of hearing an the application, ifthat stage is reached. We again urge that an initial determination be rnade that the Prbject must comply with the Vaii Village Master Plan. That determinatian, for abvious reasons, would serve tc? focus consideration of the application. Yours very truIy, D , gZANALP & CI3RISTENSEN, P.C. Jo~(n w. Dunn JWD: ipSe CC. Mt. LipC011 Mr. Johnston . ~ M ~ VAlL. PLAZA NOTEL Currently known as the Vail Village 1nn DEV'ELC?P'MENT PRESENTATItJN HISTORY . The current owner of the WI has been in love with Vail since 1972, when he first arrived. He acquired the WI in 1996, with the intention to create a positive contribution towards the best interest of the Town of Vail and the community that he loves. The firs# alternative studied was to maintain the basic hotef> and just remodel the oId rooms located in the building where Craig's Market is located. Although economically sound and comfortabie, this alternative was not pursued because it would not be a signifieant contributian to VaiL na addititinai hotel rooms; would not generate additional business ta the existing merchants, no additional sales tax = #o the town. ~ The secand alternative was to maintain the Fronfiage road part af the hotel where the restaurant, Iobby and 26 rooms are located. We would only redevelop the west part an Vail road, tearing down the old building (Craig's Market), thus building there and on the existing parking lot, and to achieve the 145 hotel rooms required by the Special District. The existing Iease of Craig's Market wauld expire in 2001. The remaining years af that Iease were, bought, overcoming that ubstacle, but even though this solution added some hotel rooms, i# was not pursued because it did not change the scale and #he charac#er of the hotel, therefore being economically questionable and, like the first alternative, it still did not represent a satisfactory contribution #o Vail. The third alternative resulted from intensive studies and' consultatian to oid time local friends and other knawiedgeable peopfe: what does the Town o# Vaii need more at the preserrt time ? The answer was very clear: what would benefit Vail mast is to . develop a World Class Hotel, with Cnnvention facilities and a11 the necessary amenities with a large number of rooms, to constitute an ~ `xanchor hotet" for Vail, as outlined in items (1), (2) and (3) bellow, bringing the benefits thereafter described . 0 , The architects Zeheren & Associates were challenged to accammoda#e this program in a configuration harmonious to the immediate neighbarhood and ta the Vail Character. After. some studies they informed the owner that it wauld require a high cost solution: to go 4 ievels under ground. 7he owner accepted and after various months of work they successfully devefoped the plans riow presented. . . (1) A Completion to Vail's Main ,Entra~nce Locaated in the southeast block afi S. Frontage Rd. and Vail Ftd. or the immedia#e east and south sides of the Gateway Building. The new building wi11 replace aN of the existing buildings currently known as the W1. The main en#rance ar street front faces S. Frontage Rd. and is positioned in the area between the Gateway Building and the Vi11age Inn Plaza Condominiums. {see picture 2} The south side or back of the building will face the Vaii ski area. ~ There is immedia#e pedestrian access tv East Meadow Drive, Vail Village and the #own bus system through the Village Inn Plaza retail area. Un Vai1 Rd. the new building wili replace the existing parking lot and the ald building that now houses Craig's Market. (see picture 1) The development will serve as a buffer for the I-70 and S. Frontage Rd. traffic noise. (2) A 1lVorlc! Class Notel + lVlajestic lobby and gallery atrium. (see picture 3) • 381 rooms +12 Nving/sleeping rooms = 786 pilla?w$ (lncludes 12 hatel pen#houses with livinglsleeping rooms plus 2, 3 or 4 bedroams). Besides the penthouses, the hotel rooms can be combined and made inta suites with living/sleeping rooms plus 1#o 5 bedrooms. • Convention +Cent€r: 16,750 sq.ft. Can be divided to accommodate groups from 10 to 1,000 peapfe. ~ It is equiPPed to cater ta Garporate, Association, Incentive,, ~ Sales meetings, groups needing exhibit space in conjunction wi#h their meeting, as well as fairs, fes#ivais, par#ies, ba!#s, lectures and continuing education programs. Annual maximum capacity = 1,000 attendees/function x 365 days = 365,000 delegatesffunctionlyear. • Health +CIubISPA: 25,000 sq.ft. A ta#ai fitness center and Spa, handiing the various treatmen#s - pravided by a full service Spa. , • Casual and Fine dining restauran#s. • Parking: 389 indovr spaces Accessed only on S. Frontage Rd. (3) Effectiveiv cam plements the VAIL CHARACTER . • Worfd Class Resorf 1lail is a Worid Class Ressorf. The development will be a iN,~,or#d Class Hate/ (item 2 above}, which constitutes an excellent ~ addition to the 1lillage. o Vehicle free viilacte Vail is an almost vehicle free village. The development will be 100% vehicle free village. All vehicies, including deliveries, will operate only on S. Frontage Rd. The development is extremely functional in this respect: pedestrians only fio #he Village; vehicles tJtlT. • Alpine environment The architects, Zehren & Assaciates, successfuliy created a high quaiity alpine design, exterior and interior (see pictures 1 trough 5). Due to it's iocativn an Frontage Rd. it is possible to accomrnodate the necessary mass for the required number of hotel raams, amenities, services, parking, etc. in a canfiguration harmanious to the immediate neighborhood (pictures 1 and 2). T'o achieve this ~ the development descends 4 leveis underground from the S. Frnntage Rd, level (an expensive prnpasition) and also recess the higher filoors, sa that they are not seen #rom the sfiree#. ~ (4) Year round high occupancv A high occupancy will be obtained through aggressive marketing . of a Warld Class Hofiel, offering a11 of the necessary amenities, for bath the FIT (free independent travel) and group 'guest. According to a study perf'ormed by Pannell Kerr Forester, based , on data from Meetings and Conventions Magazine, the annual group business market is in the magnitude of 71:5 miltion delegates plus approximately 15 million accompanying persons. Resulting in a #otal market of appraximately 86,5 rnillion guests Given the ho#el's Conventivn Center capacity, 1,040 people, tfie su#ficient number 4f rooms, suites and penthouses, the new hotel will be in the pasitian to successfufiiy mar.ke# itself to those 86.5 million gues#s,. The needed market share is only 0.14°l0. ~ Price is of the utmost importance #o #his market. In order to achieve competitive hotet rates (particularly for the shaulder seasons) the 12 hatei penthouses (41 bed raoms) will be soid as Fractional Fee Club for 28 season weeks (The ownership - of fhe remaining 24 shoulder season weeks will be re#ained by the hotel). This will Ivwer #he base cost of the remaining weeksy therefore ailowinq the hotel to reduce the rate ta a very competitive level. The final result is that the C1ub units will have the highest possible vccupancy: a) during the high season the unit will be occupied by an owner, (an owner that purchased a week or weeks convenient for him) and b) during the shoulder seasan the unit will be occupied by delega#es from groups booked through the hotel's strong marketing and competitive ra#es. ~ ~ There is a ciose inter-deperrdency am?ong al/ of the cvmponents. nne needs the ofher to make th+e develapment operatiorrally and ec+anotnica/Jy viable • • Nkh occMancv (particularly on shoulder seasans) re ~ires: a) a $tranqr r»arketirtcr bud,get , b} appropriate praduct arid c) competitive rates. • Vail Plaza Ho#el- wi#h its number +af rooms and excellent amenifies is #he appropriate product and has enaugh narnber of roams to provide the volume of business ta afford the necessary strang marketing budget, tt • The adepuafe amenities (majestic lobby and gallery, cvnvention faci/ities, state of the art Nealth C/ub/Sl°A, casua/ and fine dining, indoor parking, etc.) are economicall y ,,rustifiable nnly in coniunction with a larpe hotel. ~ • The ownershi of the 24 shoulder season weeks of the C/ub brings the hoteJ to 389 rooms on shoulder season, at arr average lower base cost (thanks to the sa/e of the 28 gaod weeks), which is very he/pful to a//ow competitive markefirtg fo groups, ~ therefore confributfna to achieve fh+e desired hiah occupaney.

The study "potentiai Market Demand for Conference Center in Vail" prepared in 1993 by Robert S Benton & Associa#as and Hire & Associates for the Town of Vaii points out thAt the them proposed Conference Cen#er for Vai1 wnuld have important constrC,~insr 1~ke. • Nan existence flf a lacal airport for large airplanes; ~ T1ie use of the facility also as perFormance theater wauld lirnit the Conference days to market and, mast importan#, •The 'lack of a"anchor hvtel", under the same roof, that coukl serve has headquarters for the conventian. ~ Even with these constrains, the s#udy estimated that the Conference Center wauld generate demand for 72,200 rovms ~ night/year. Now Vail has the required airport and this development doesn't have those constraints. Also, taken into consideration these factors and others (Vail's irnprovements since that #irne, etc.), it is . safe to assume that #he room night demand generated. will be more than 1/3 higher than that, say: 100,000 room nightslyear, . This exceeds our hotel capacity dedicated to groups (65,000 room nightslyear). Therefore, the overflaw (estimated 35,000 rooms nightlyear) will be directed to other hatels in Vail. This same s#uciy cansiders that the spousaflfamily attendance will be significanfify higher than the National Average of 20,7%o (Meetings and Conventions Magazine), say: 40%, therefare bringing the #otal to: 100,000 rooms nightlyear x 1.4 people/room = 140,000 (delegates, spauses and family) daysiyear. Thrs estimated total delegates dayCyear (100,000) is a 27.4% of ; the Conven#ion maximum capacity and represen#s only 0. 14°/n of the total group market (item 4 abave) ~ b) FiT (Free Independent Travel) = 90,187 guests daylyear The maximum hutel capacity less the 41 Glub rooms (12 penthouses) eventually occupied by owners on its 28 weeks is: 340 roorns x365 daysJyear + 41 rooms x 24x7 = 130,988 rooms night/year. At least 65,00(} room nights/year will be dedicated to the F1T market, particularly in the gaod season days, with an vverali occupancy of no less than 75% with an average 1.85 personslrvom, bringing #he total FIT to 65,000 x 75°lo x 1.85 = 900187 FiT visitor daylyear, generated by the development, in additian to the conven#ioneers. c) Ciub Members = 16,072 personslyear "fhere are 41 rooms in the Club, for 28 weeks.

HANNaFi Planning and Environmental Cammissian . . . 7'own of Vail - 75 South Frontage Road Vail CO 81657 Re: Vail Plazza Hote1 Project Dear Commission Members. We represent three residential unit owners at Vail Gateway PIaza and have been requested by them to pravide you with written comrnern with respect to the application of TJaymer Corporation for a majar amendrnent to Speciat I}evelaprnent District #6, the Vail Virflage Inn Site ("the Vail Plaza Hotel Project" or "the Project"). Havsng revyewed the plans subrnitted to the Town, we wish ta set forth our concems with respect to the relationship of the Pra,ject to ~ the Vail Village Master P1arr. From our review af the piatns, it appears that the portions of the Project lacated immediately adjacent to Vail Gateway Plaza witl be 60 to 84 feet abave the existing gratie tu the south of Gateway Plaza on Vail Raad and 70 to 100 feet above the existix?g grade to the east of Gateway Piaza on Frontage Raad. This proposed building height is not in cozYfornuty with the Conceptual Building Height Plan of the Vail Village Master Plan, which establishes a building height guideline cr'n chose parcels adjacent to Gateway Plaza of 3-4 (stepped) building stones. Inasmuch as the Conceptual Building Height Plan defines °`building story„ as nine feet, the canespanding buildisig height guidelines are 27 to 36 feet. Nor is the proposed building height in conformity with the Su6-Area # 1-1 Plan at page 37 af the 1vlaster Plan, which requires that the mass of buildings "step-up" frorn pedestrian scale along Meadow Drive to 4-5 stories alang Prontage Road, Construing the two together, the structure to the scauth af C'rateway Plaza could not by any interpretation exceed four stories or 36 feet. The proposed buiiding heights far the Project adjacent to Gateway Plaza therefdre exceed master plan limitations by as much as 33 to 48 feet on Vail Road and 43 to 64 feet on Frantage Road, In other words, the plan proposes a building that is at least twice the height limitations ofthe Vail Village Master Plan on those parcels. ~ . ~ Section 12-9A-8 of the Vail Municipal Code includes as p$rt of the design criteria fcrr appraval of an SI}D "confotmity with applicable elernents ofthe Vaii Camprehensive Plan, °Torvn policies and urban design plans" and provides, with reference to those standards, that: ~ "It sha11 be the burden of the appticant to dernonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is nc~t apPlicable, c~r that a practical soluticin consistent with the public interest has been achieved. We are not able to find anything in the applicant's submittal to suggest that the . height Iimitations ofthe master plan are not appticable ar that the agplicant is proposing,a solution to the conflict with the master plan which is consist+ent with the public interest. We can ori1y conclude that the appiicant is asking that the height limitations ofthe master plan be ipored for purpose of Che apPlicatian. It is therefcare the purpose of this letter ta provide yau with a review of Cotorado law on the relationship between xnaster plans and zoning, including in particular the type of zone district know as the "planned unit developrnent'° ("PUD") ar, as it is kriown in `Uail, the special development district (`iSDD"). Based upon our review ofihat law, xt is oux belief that the rnaster plan must be strictly adhere'd to in the consideration of SDD zoning, aund w+e respectfully request that your cammission so determine a.t the outset of its consideration of the application. The Colorado Suprerne Court first addressed the effect of a master plan fn 1`heobald v. Board of Corrnty C'omm'rs, 644 P.Zd 942 (CoIo. 1982). In thai case, the court held that a master plan is advisory only and that, in order for it to have a direct effect an property rights, it must be further implernented thraugh zoning. Thereafter, in ,8eaver Meadvws v. Board of Ccruizty C'vrnrn'rs, 709 P.2d 928 (Calo, 1985), the court held that, while a master plan as an advisory dacument is not necessarily binding on #he zoning dxscretion of a gtrvernmental body, it is binding when the zaning leg`rslation requires compliarrce with it: Most recently, in 13ourd of County Camm "rs v. Conder, 927 P.2d 1339 (Cola. 1996), our supreme court was faced with a subdivision application which conformed with applicable :zoriing but nat with the county master plan, which had been adopted as a"guideline'> by the subdivisitan regulations. 4ver two dissents, the court heid that the county could enforce the master plan compliance provision legislatively adopted as part of the subdivisian regulatians. Taken together, those cases teil us that, to the extent that zoning is inconsistent with the master pian, the master pian will prevail, pravided compliance with it is required by some regulation. We reeognixe that the Town has great flexibility in the amenciment of special develcapment district zonirig and that a purpose of an SDD zone district is to encourage flexibility and creativity in the develapment of land in order to protnote its rnost appropriate use. We a.lsn recagnize that our 1oca1 district caurt has upheld the Tovvn counciljs adoption of SI7D zoYUng over a challenge based upon the argument that the adoptian of it constituted "spot zoning„ in contravention of the 7own's master plan However, we are not arguing that the present application vialates abjeetives or poiicies afthe master pian, whieh are aspirational in nature, itather, we are arguing that na zone district within the town may vicalate a very specific height ~ +rr ~ timitation irnposed by the master p1an, given the master plan's incotpotation into the Town's zoning, inciuding SDD zoning. ~ Ii should also be mentioned that, sa far as we are aware, there has not, been district caurt review of a rezoning in this county since the Concier decision. Prior to that decision, it might have been argued that an SI?D zone district, because it establishes special nYles for that zone d`sstrict, may ovemde master plan requirements. Hpwever, in Carrder the caurt affuined' Larimer County's denial of an appiication far a PUD subdivision based upan the subdivision's creation of densiry irr conflict with the caunty master plan, even though (as the court emphasized) the propased use of the land was in campliance with the countv's zoning resolution. It must . therefore be cancluded that, if the entirety of the Larimer Gounty zoning resolution cauld not have the effect of overriding the county master plann, PtJ'D or SDD zoning could nat have that ° effect. We also recognixe that zoning is a matter aflocal and municipat cancem; that the Town's zoning autharity is gaverned by its own charter azzd ordinances, Zuvala v City & County e.fDe»ver, 759 P.2d 664 (Colo. 1988): Service (Jil Co. v Rhacius, 500 P.2d $07 (Colo. 1972); and that the cases cited in this letter address county master plans. However, the g= of xoning authori.ty is contained in statute. § 31-23=301, C.R.5,, and that authoriry is canditioned upon the adoption of a master plan by § 31-23-303, C.R.S. Further, the statutory purpases governing the adoption of a municipal masier plan, § 3I-23-207, C.R.S., track with those governing the adoption of a county master ptan, § 30-28-707, C.R.S., and bath caunties and muricipatities are required to find master pian compliance as a condition ta approval ofa PUD, § 24-67-104(1){f}, C.R.S., absent a superseding ordinance of the municipality. Vail's ordinance in fact is consistent ~ with that statute. Finally, the discussion contained in the county cases cited are a discussifln of general principles of land use law. It is therefore our canclusion that yaur camrnissic?n must give literal effect to the Vail Village Master Ptan, including in particulaz the height limitations contained in it, in cnnsidering the apptication fot the Project. Of course, the Tawn's master plans may be amended, but that proce5s should anly be initiated by the 7own council. 1'ursuant to § 3 l-27-2C3'7, C.R. S., "careful and cornprehensive surveys and studies-of present canditians and future growth" are required. Initiation' of that process, we believe, ought not be motivated by a single application. it is our understanding that the applicant believes tha# the econamic benefit ofits project to che community, including hotel accorrr3mmodations and conference space, outweigh the importance of master plan cvmpliance. In that cannection, it is well to bear in minti the purposes afthe Tawn's zoning regulations as they are set farth in § 12-1-2, Vail Municipal Code: "these regulations are enacted for the purpoge of promoting the heaith, safety, morals, and veneral welfare of the T"own, and to pramote the coordinated and harrnonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its naturaJ environment and its established character as a resort and resadential communi#y of high quality,,, : ~ ~ • ~ That purpose, we suggest, is intended to preserve the character ofthe tovvn and not to promate economic develapment. ~ We need not remind you that mernbers ofthe public, including our elients, have retied an the Town's iand use regulations; Our clients were told, when they purchased units at Gateway Plaza, ihat they would cantinue to have unobstructeti views, and they made major investrnents based upon that infarmation. If those views aze obstructed, their investments wi13 be significantly devalued. Our clients understand that the Town's zoning was nat enacted to protect their personal view corridors. However, hecause they are adjacent Iandowners and because the value of their property may be affeczed by your recomrnendation to cauncil, they have standing befQre you. Sectian 12-3-3, Vai] Municipal Cade, provides for adrninistrative dettimiination or interpretation of the provisions ofthe zoning ordinance and for review ofsuch deterinaution or intergretatiQn by your commission. We urge you tQ request an interpretation of § 12-9A: 8(D), Vail Municipal Code, and a determination that tha# provision requires that ihe application hefore you stricily camply with the building heighc limitations of the Va.il Village Niaster Ptan. In making that request, we do not wish to rninimize ather aspects of the Presject which wnuld require that on the merits your cammission make a recornmendation of denial of the application. The impact of the Praject 4n Frantage Road is diff`icult even to imagine, Tra$'ic flow through the roundabout intersectian and atong Frontage Road would be increased very substantially, with the attendant noise and poliution caused by vehicular traffic. Without ari #mpact analysis, it is impossibie to say what the effect ofthe Project would be on level of service ~ at the Main Vail Roundabaut. That impact is aggravated by the absence of pedestrian access frnm the village core. Further, the refocusing of activity nn Frontage Road, together with the overail height and mass of the Project, would have a fundamental, patentially deva,stating effect an the feeting and characier of Vaii. We intend to press those issues at time of hearing on the application, if that stage is reached. We again urge that an initial determination be made that the Project must comply with the Vail Village Master Plan. That determination, for abvious reasons, wc?uld serve to focus consideration of the application. Yours very truiy, DCJ,NN, PLANALP & CI-3RIS"TENSEN, P.C. , Jo~ w. Dunn JWD:ipse cc.

P(anner; Daminic Mauriello 1. DESCRIF'TION t3F TME REQUEST. On March 17, 1998, the 7own Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance which wouid clarify when a nonconforrning site must be upgraded to meet the Design Review Guidelines. 7he C}esign Guidelines include such requirements as paving parking areas, placing utility service (ines underground, compliance with the iighting restrictinns, and nat utilizing plywood as a siding material. The code currently requires all nanconforming properties to be brought into compliance with the ~ Design Guidelines with any additinn of square footage. The sta#f interpretation, which has been used for the past eouple of years, allows expansions to single-family, two-family, and primarylsecondary residentlal uses af 150 sq. fiC. or less withouf complying with the guidelines, The Town Council directed staff ta increase the threshold tn 500 sq. ft. (excluding 250 ardinance additions) and therefore, staff has been implementing the 500 sq. ft. ouer the past several months. Staf# presented 2 alternat"rves to the Town Council. One proposal allawed expansions o€ up ta 500 sq. ft. for single-family, two-family, and multiple family developments. Cauncil did not want to extend this new threshold ofi 500 sq. ft. to multiple-family develapmenfis but 1nstead directed staff to include multiple-family develapments in the interior conuersion regulations. The proposal requires the apgrading of commercial and multiple-family developmen#s with any addition of floor area, units, commnn area, or garage area. 7he praposal allows nonconforming single-farnily, two-famify, and primary(secondary uses a one-time expansion of up to 540 sq. ft. without compliance with the Design Guidelines. The changes proposed far the Type 11, Emplayee Hous+ng Unit have been removed from the prnposed ordinance at the CounciPs directiQn and may be discussed in a separate proposal. Staff is also proposing to elean-up the canditionai use sectian of the code by creating a new subsection which will contain all use specifiic criteria and standards fior uses listed as cbnditional' uses. T'he propasal wi11 eliminate the use specific criteria which are repeated throughout the zone districts and consalidate them in one section. For example, the section from the code listed below is from the CC2 Zone district, underthe conditionalusesec#ion: 1 IY1lYN*Ya ~ . 12-7C-4. CONDITI4NAL USES,GENERALLY. ~ 'fhe following conditional uses shall be permitted, subject to issuance of a conditionai use permit irr accordance with the provisions oP Chapter 16 of this Title: Bed and breakfast as further regu(ated by Section 12-14-1 S o# this Title. °'Brew pubs" as defined in Section 12-2-2 of this Title, subject to the foilowing candi#ions: A. There is no exterior storage of supplies, refuse, or materials on the property upon which the braw pub is operated; arrd B. The operatar af the brew pub shall comply with the Town's loading and delivery regulations as set forth in this Title; and G. Brew pubs which seli beer or ale at wholesale ar which sell beer for off-site eonsumption are ailowed so lang as the total of wholesale sales and sales for off-site consumptian do not exceed forty five percent (45°la) of #he praducC manufactured by the brew pub on an annual basis. Under the proposed ordinanee, A, B, and G above wauid be de(etedancf repiaceri wifhsimply, "Brew Pubs.° Thesecriteria wili then be mavedta the new subseetion in the Conditional Use Chapter. This is similar to what was done for fractianai fee clubs last year. Specific criteria were created for this use and placed as aciditional standards in the coriditional use section ofi the code. This amendment wiil create a consistent way of treating such criteraa when amending the code in the future. II. SllMMAFiY tJF CHANGES (see ordinance for specific language): Design Review Trigger ~ Section 1. This sectian creates a new paragraph within the Design Review chapter. This contains the language allowing the 500 sq. fit. expansions without requiring upgrades of existing noncanforming conditions on site. 250 C)rdinance Sections 2 and 3. These sections eliminate the 250 sq. ft. additions for muitiple-fam+ly developments. 250 additions for multiple family dwelling units are only a(lowed to be interior, and therefore by adding multiple-farnily dweliing units ta the Interior Conversion section, there is no use for these provisions. This change does not take any existing right away from a multiple family dwelling unit owner, but rather expands rights to interior expansions of flaar area. Interior ConversiQns Sections 4 and 5. These sections amend the }nterior Conversion section ofi the code by adding multiple- family dweHing units. All regulations in the area s#ay the same except that provisions precluding multiple family deveiopments are removed. This aHows multiple family unfts to expand flaor area beyond the previous 250 limitation. ~ 2 F 1 t ~ Gonditional Uses Sectians 6 - 14. These sections amend the candttidnal uses listed in each zone district by remov'rng any specific conditions that a use must meet. These specifiic conditions are moved ta the conditional use chapter of the code. This is similar to what was done Cast year for fractional fee clubs. Any use specific criteria is list in the conditional use chapter, instead o# being repeated throughout every district in the code. Section 15. This section creates a new subsection (12-16-7) in Chapter 16 af the Zoning Regulations, entitled "Use Specific Criteria and Standards.,, In this subsection; all conditional use permit standards and criteria are listed fior any use requiring additional review criteria and standards. This rearganization is needed to develap a consistent method of amending the code. 7'he Town Council directed staff to revise thls sectian in review of a proposed amendrrient to the cade. Staff believes this will make the code less cumbersdme to read. tll. STAFF REGt3MlUlENDATION.
