Community Development Department E 2 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: September 28, 1998 SUBJECT: A request for additional GRFA to enclose an existing deck, utilizing the 250 ordinance, located at 1626 Vail Valley Drive/ Lot 2, Warren Puiis Subdivision. Applicant: Donald & Francis Diones Planner: George Ruther 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicants, Donald and Francis Diones, are proposing to construct an exterior living room addition to their residence located at 1626 Vail Valley Drive. The new addition will be constructed on the south side of the residence and will involve enclosing an existing deck. In order to accommodate the addition, the applicants are proposing to utilize up to 203 square feet of additional GRFA. The exterior building materials of the new addition are proposed to match the existing materials on the building. If approved, 47 square feet of the available 250 square feet of additional GRFA will remain available. A review of the Town's files has determined that this property is eligible for additional GRFA pursuant to Section 12-15-5 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. II. ZONING STATISTICS Lot Size: 17,984 square feet Zoning: Primary/Secondary Residential Allowed Existinq Proposed GRFA:* 2,294 sq. ft. 1,997 sq. ft. 2,247 sq. ft. Site Coverage:20%, or 3,597 sq, ft. 14%, or 2,554 sq, ft. 16%, or 2,817 sq. ft. Parking: 3 spaces required 3 spaces N/C * The total allowable GRFA sq, ft. equals the existing sq. ft. plus 250 sq. ft. allowable by ordinance (secondary unit only). 1 ? VMI? TOWN OF Ill. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Factors Reaardina Grantina GRFA Under the 250 Ordinance: Before acting on an application for additional GRFA, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Effect upon the existing topography, vegetation, drainage and existing structures. The proposal will not negatively impact the existing topography and vegetation on the site. The area of construction for the new exterior addition is atop an existing deck. Staff believes that the proposed addition will not significantly affect the existing site topography, vegetation, drainage, and existing structures. 2. Impact on adjacent properties. The addition should not adversely affect views, light, or air enjoyed by adjacent structures. Staff believes that the proposed additions will not have a significant impact on adjacent properties. 3. Compliance with the Town's zoning requirements and applicable development standards. Staff believes that an approval of the additional 203 sq. ft. of GRFA will not have any negative impacts on the applicable development standards of the Town. However, during a site visit to the applicant's property, staff identified a zoning violation that needs to be corrected. The violation consists of several exterior flood lights which do not conform to the Town's outdoor lighting regulations. Staff would recommend that the applicant be required to bring the existing outdoor lighting into compliance with the Town's codes. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends approval of the additional 203 square feet of GRFA utilizing the 250 Ordinance, Staff's recommendation of approval is based upon the review of the criteria and factors outlined in Section III of this memorandum. Shnuld the Planning and Environmental Commission choose tr) ioprove the applicant's request, staff would recom,,,end that the Planning and Environmental Commiss,uri slake the following findings: 1. That the addition of 203 square feet of additional GRFA does not negatively effect the existing topography, vegetation and drainage on Lot 2 Warren Pulis Subdivision. 2 Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve the applicant's request, staff would recommend that the Planning and Environmental Commission make the following condition: 1. That the applicant bring the property into compliance with the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations (outdoor lighting) prior to the final inspection of the building addition. 11 E REMOVE EXISTIN - _ -?

ORW off'V _ Department of Community Development 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2138 FAX 970-479-2452 TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Russ Forrest DATE: September 28, 1998 SUBJECT: Input on planning, housing, and environmental projects Attached is a list of projects that over the course of the last year either have been identified by staff, Council, or the PEC for action. Staff would like to briefly review the list of projects with the Planning and Environmental Commission to obtain your input on priority actions that should be included in the Community Developments work plan and budget for the next two years. The PEC recommendations on future projects will be conveyed to the Town Council as part of the 1999 & 2000 budget approval. Please take an opportunity to review the list and determine what projects you feel should be addressed and which ones should not. For those actions that you feel should be included in the Community Development work plan, please indicate whether you feel it is a high, medium, or low priority. As a point of reference, Community Development can comfortably manage 2 major community projects at a time (i.e., Common Ground, Lionshead). Each Senior Planner can effectively handle 1 long-range project at a time (i.e. Austria House, GRFA code revision). We currently have 2 senior planners and a Chief of Planning. The Environmental Health Specialist can comfortably manage 1-2 major projects at a time (Green Star Program, Waste Management). The Housing program is already relatively defined by the Common Ground process. However, the Planning and Environmental Commission°s input on housing policy recommendations would be very helpful.

A request for additional GRFA to enclose a deck, utilizing the 250 ordinance, located at 1626 Vail Valley Drive/ Lot 2, Warren Pulis Subdivision. Applicant: Don and Francis Diones Planner: George Ruther George Ruther gave an overview of the staff memo. Greg Moffet asked for any applicant, public or Commissioner comments. There were no comments. John Schofield made a motion for approval per the staff memo. Galen Aasland seconded the motion. 'rhe motion passed by a vote of 6-0. A we rksession to discuss future planning projects being pursued by the Community Development Department. Staff: Russell Forrest Russ Forrest gave an overview of the staff memo and explained that there was one special project assigned per planner and that the Department can handle two major projects, such as Lionshead and Common Ground, at a time. He asked the PEC to comment on the project list making any additions or deletions to the list. George Ruther explained the newspaper boxes. Galen Aasland said he was against taking the speed limit signs down throughout neighborhoods with only one up at the entrance to the neighborhood. He said it was real negative. He said he didn't need to review the SDD process at this time. He thought The Three Mile Plan was fairly Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes September 28, 1998 1 important. Galen said he liked the idea of addressing the economic vitality and thought the staff interpretations notebook should be eliminated and codified. He said he was very comfortable with the CC1 height, but was concerned with the EHU rewrite for nonconforming use, as we would not be creating additional housing units and it would send a bad message by further restricting the units. He said the environmental quality needs to be increased, but that staff was doing a good job. Ann Bishop said the economic vitality was the most important project. She said she wants to see enforcement of the EHU's. Russ Forrest advised the PEC that in November there will be a meeting with code enforcement personnel to train them in enforcement for community service and he hoped to get 20 hrs. a week worth of code enforcement time. Ann Bishop suggested an Mail '99 update. Russ Forrest explained that an update could be organized. Diane Golden thought everthing on the list was important . She said the parking pay-in-lieu was important, but needed to be reviewed for improvement. She said the newspaper boxes were important and the outlying areas were just as important as the core areas. She said the community facility was very important and the community needed an art center and another hockey rink. She said the EHU project was very important and she felt developers should be required to provide housing. She asked about the code enforcement officers. Russ Forrest explained that Police Department seasonal workers were being turned into code enforcement officers. Tom Weber said he was anxiously awaiting the design guidelines for Lionshead He asked if the parking pay-in-lieu was an easy out and that it needed to be reviewed. He asked how much the parking fee generated. He said the Drip Standards needed to be engaged on the intemet and that newspaper boxes should be integrated into the bus stops and to all look the same. George Ruther explained the newspaper distributors screamed 1st amendment when the town tried to regulate the location. He said newspaper distributors located papers on private property. Tom Weber said the design of the boxes needed looking into. George Ruther said the design was to be a wood box enclosure. Tom Weber said he was fairly optimistic about GRFA as it pertained to multi-family He said The Three Mile Plan was a needed house keeping project. He said water quality standards were very high on his list. He said he was not totally against rewriting the GRFA. He asked if solid waste addressed recycling. Brian Doyon said his #1 concern was the environment, as people came here for the quality and air quality. He said the emissions from tractor trailers were a noise issue. He said the tree ordinance was a good idea He said a crackdown on EHU enforcement was needed. He said i'he Three Mile was great, but the Town needed to get a grasp of what its future is. He said he Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes September 28,1998 2 Je Cld love to see the design guidelines, as they would solve a lot of other problems. He said he would love to see the pay-in-lieu be more confining and see that money spent on different types of parking, such as a meter system in certain back areas. John Schofield said the parking pay-in-lieu needed to be looked at seriously, as it didn't create any parking. He advised making sure that parking was really there and was right up there with employee housing. George Ruther said that the pay-in-lieu was developed in the CC1 and 2 where Town policy states that parking was not allowed on site. John Schofield said the fee should be equal to what it costs to build a space and that the Town needed real spaces and that the real cost of a parking space should be looked at. He said that newspaper boxes should not be on a public right-of-way, since the right-of-way was the citizen's property. He said The Three Mile Plan was a low priority and that commercial vitality was not the Town of Vail's business, but the Chamber of Commerce. He said the staff interpretation was right at the top of his priority list and to codify the EHU's rewrite to encourage and enforce. He felt the noise issue should be on the list and that covering up 1-70 would have the greatest impact on the Town of Vail. Tom Weber said to provide some overhead passes, if 1-70 was covered. John Schofield said it could be very creative and would be a great benefit to the Town. Greg Moffet said real estate on top of the highway would pay to sink it. Russ Forrest said in 1993, there was a developer who offered to do it for free in exchange for development rights. Greg Moffet said we are, as a community, failing to meet the basic needs in this Town by not providing enough parks. He said to look at the parks per acre in Aspen or Blackcomb and Vail has about 1/10 of the parks and parks needed to be put on the top of the list. He felt it was not a misallocation of staff to sell land into private open space and people would buy it to save their i,ac.kyard from going away. He thought this should be investigated. He said highway noise is an environmental contaminant and that the EPA needed to test the noise. He said the Lionshead redevelopment and parking pay-in-lieu were high on his list. He stated it was not fair to put parking costs on small business owners and there needed to be an analysis on who drives parking and allocate the cost accordingly. He advised staff not to waste time on the SDD, GRFA or The Three Mile Plan issues. He said the community facility was a very high priority. He said that the economic vitality had a zoning component if it encouraged office space. He said that the Common Ground project was also a high priority. 3.

Information Update Russ Forrest asked if the PEC would like to have a joint worksession with Council on the 13th to talk about expectations. Greg Moffet asked if Council could come to the PEC meeting, as two meetings in a row was too much. ...-,s Forrest said there needs to be a roundtable discussion with Council to discuss expectations of the PEC and the format needed not to have the PEC in the audience. 7.
