FROM: Community Development Department
DATE,: May 10, 1999
SUBJECT. A request for a worksession to discuss a conditional use permit to allow
for the Vail Mountain School to construct a temporary classroom on the
site of the school for a ten-month period, located at 3160 Katsos Ranch
Road/Part of Lot 12, Block 2, Vail Village 12 1h Filing.
Applicant: Vail Mountain School, represented by Pam Hopkins
Planner: George Ruther
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The Vail Mountain School, represented by Pam Hopkins of Snowdon & Hopkins
Architects, is requesting a worksession to discuss a request for a conditional use permit
to allow for a modular classroom to placed on the school site. The modular classroom is
intended to accommodate an increase in the demand for students to attend the school.
The temporary classroom is intended to meet the immediate demand and would be
installed for the 1999-2000 academic school year (August 1-May 31). The modular
classroom is approximately 20' x 40' in size and can accommodate 16 to 18 students.
The applicant is proposing to locate the temporary building on the south side of the
school partially under an existing canopy. This location was selected by the applicant for
convenience and function:
A reduced copy of the proposed plans and a letter describing the request have been
attached for reference.
II. BACKGROUND
According to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, the Vail Mountain School, is located
in the General Use Zone District. Pursuant to the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations, the
purpose of the General Use Zone District is tog
"provide sites for public and quasi-public uses which, because of their special
characteristics, cannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards
prescribed for other zoning districts, and for which development standards
especially prescribed for each particular development proposal or project are
necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in Section 12-1-2 of this Title and
to provide for the public welfare. The General Use District is intended to ensure
that public buildings and grounds and certain types of quasi-public uses
permitted in the District are appropriately located and designed to meet the
needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and,
in the case of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open
1
spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses. (Ord.
21(1994) § 10)2 0
1. Sections 12-9C-2 & 3 outline the permitted and conditional uses allowed in
the General Use Zone District. The temporary modular classroom is an
allowed conditional use in the General Use Zone District subject to the
issuance of a conditional use permit.
111. DISCUSSION ISSUES
The Community Development Department has completed a preliminary review of the
proposed temporary modular classroom. Upon completion of our review, staff has
identified an issue we believe the applicant, staff and the Planning and Environmental
Commission should address prior to final review.
Temporary Structures
The Planning & Environmental Commission has approved temporary structures for a
variety of uses in the past, subject to a conditional use permit. In more cases than not,
the applicant requesting the conditional use permit for the temporary structure reappears
before the Commission requesting an extension to the permit to allow the continued use
of the structure. In the past, the Commission has expressed their concern that with the
request for extensions, the structure begins to become more permanent than temporary.
To avoid unintended consequences in the future, staff would recommend that the
applicant and Commission discuss the duration of the modular structure and arrive at an
agreed upon date of removal of the structure. The Commission should also discuss their
thoughts on a request in the future for an extension of the conditional use permit.
Historically, temporary structures have been allowed to deviate slightly from the Town's
adopted Design Guidelines. The deviations have been permitted due to the temporary
nature of the structures. In this case, staff would recommend that the applicant be
required to improve the modular structure so that it blends in with the existing buildings
on the school site. Improvements to the structure may include painting, landscaping,
detailing, skirting, etc. If approved, the exterior design of the structure will require
Design Review Board approval.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
As this is a worksession to discuss the proposed installation of a temporary modular
classroom at the Vail Mountain School, staff will not be providing a formal
recommendation at this time. However, at the time of final review by the Planning and
Environmental Commission, staff will provide its recommendation.

Mr. George Ruther
Senior Planner
Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road
Vail CO 81657
Dear Mr. Ruther:
After the last addition to Vail Mountain School and the rezoning of our property, we were
asked by the Town to refrain from requesting, in piecemeal fashion, changes to the campus.
Instead, a long-range plan was requested. Toward that end, we have hired a consultant to guide
the efforts of three dozen Vail Mountain School representatives in a long-range planning process
which will occur this weekend, April 16-18. A primary topic will be the growing demand for the
school'. I anticipate the suggestion that one possible way to address the immediate situation will be
to place a modular classroom on campus for ten months, August 1 through May 31 of the next
academic year. We are experiencing a significant increase of inquiries about our school, perhaps
because of a new influx of people to the valley as of next fall, and the Eagle County Charter
Academy's decision to drop its high school program at the end of this academic year. In response
to these matters and the reconfiguration of what we offer our current population, we are
considering ways to add'classroom space on this campus.
Our request of you is for the opportunity to accommodate the demand for Vail Mountain
School in 1999-2000 while using that academic year to make preparations to blend Lhc new
students into the school permanently. That effort is one part of the long-range plan we hope to
submit to you and it is the rationale for this specific request. Knowing that the process of approval
takes time, I am writing to you now to secure a date on the calendar to make the step possible in a
timely manner. It is my assumption that the school's long-range planning session next weekend
will confirm the wish to do so.
Enclosed please find a check in the amount of $250.00 for the cost of this phase of that
process. Thank you for considering this request. I am available to answer questions, as is Pam
Hopkins, our liaison with the Town of Vail.
Sincerely,
Peter M. Abuisi

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 10, 1999
SUBJECT: A final review of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 4 .
(Cascade Village), revising the Glen Lyon Office Building site (Area D), located at
1000 S. Frontage Road West/Lot 54, Glen Lyon Subdivision.
Applicant: Glen Lyon Office Building Partnership, represented by Kurt
Segerberg
Planner: Dominic Mauriello
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to amend SDD #4, as it relates to the Glen Lyon Office Building
property, Area D. The applicant is proposing to construct a 37,088 sq. ft. (gross) office building
addition to the east of the existing building, a 3,270 sq. ft. modification to the existing building by
adding hallways and an elevator, and two EHU's (1,127 sq. ft. and 738 sq. ft.). The resulting
total leaseable area of the building is 35,741 sq. ft. which requires a total of 143 parking spaces.
The new building is proposed to be constructed above two levels of a parking structure
containing 127 parking spaces. The east end of the site will also contain a surface parking (with
a level of parking below) of 24 parking spaces, for a total of 151 parking spaces.
The proposal also includes aligning the entrance of the parking lot with that of the Vail
Professional Building directly across the street and re-striping of the traffic lanes on the S.
Frontage Road to accommodate turn lanes and bike lanes.
The original Cascade Village SDD was approved in 1976 and has since been amended several
times. The development plan approved in 1988 for this area included additional office space
and a micro-brewery.
On August 10, 1998, the PEC provided direction to the applicant to provide structured parking,
substantially increase the square footage of office space, eliminate the proposed duplex
development, and upgrade the architectural quality of the existing building. The Commission
stated that adherence to the interior landscape provisions and the building height provisions of
the previous approval could be varied. The Town Council gave very similar guidance, to the
applicant, at its September 1, 1998 meeting.
Please refer to the Description of the Previous Approval and the Zoning Analysis for a
comparison of the previous approval to the present proposal.

VI. DISCUSSION ISSUES
1. Building Height
Building height is one aspect of the proposal that may exceed the development standards
listed in the SDD. For the 1988 approval of the micro-brewery, building height standards
were as follows:
• Maximum of 51% of the roof was allowed to range from 32 feet to
40 feet.
• A minimum of 49% of the roof was required to be less than 32 feet.
E
4
The applicant is proposing a building that ranges from 43'- 72' in height at the direction
of the PEC, DRB, and the Town Council. The previous direction given by the PEC and
the Town Council was that the previous limitation could be varied for this project.
2. Architectural Character
The applicant is proposing improvements to the existing building in order to create a
consistent architecture across the site. The applicant has received positive feedback
from the DRB on the proposal. Final DRB approval will be required.
3. Employee Housing
The applicant is proposing this same quantity of employee housing units (2 EHU's) as
was previously approved. The scale of the project and the type of use proposed will not
generate as many employees as the previous approval, since that project included a
micro-brewery and restaurant. The applicant has been working with the 2 EHU
requirement for the past several years. The PEC gave the applicant the direction that
due to the type of use being proposed and based on the direction the applicant has been
working under for a number of years, that the proposal for 2 EHUs on the property seem
fair.
A recent study (June 1998) on Town of Vail businesses shows that professional offices in
Vail, on average, operate with 5.86 employees per 1,000 sq. ft. of net leaseable floor
area. With other SDD projects the Town Council has required that 30% of the demand
generated be accommodated either on-site or,off-site, in the form of deed restricted
housing. The currently accepted standard for minimum square footage of housing
required per person is 350 sq. ft. If we apply these numbers to this project we find the
following:
New Impact Only:
? 25,241 sq. ft. (net leaseable floor area) x 5.86 employees/1,000 sq. ft. _
148 employees
Employees to provide housing for = 148 x 30% = 44.4 employees
? Translates to 15,540 sq. ft. of housing
4. Utilities
The previous approval for this site required that all utilities be placed underground. Staff
continues„to believe that this should be required and the applicant is proposing to
underground these utilities.
VII. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THIS REQUEST
Titlel 2, Chapter 9 of the Town Code provides for the establishment of Special
Development Districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 12-9A-1, the purpose of
a Special Development District is:
To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to
promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and
quality of the new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate
5
and economical provision of streets and utilities, to preserve the natural and
scenic features of open space areas, and to further the overall goals of the
community as stated in the Vail Comprehensive Plan. An approved
development plan for a Special Development District, in conjunction with the
properties underlying zone district, shall establish the requirements for
guiding development and uses of property included in the Special
Development District.
The Town Code provides nine.design criteria, which shall be used as the principal criteria
in evaluating the merits of the proposed Special Development District. It shall be the
burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed ' : .
development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one
or more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public
interest has been achieved.
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood
and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height,
buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
The proposed design of the building is of an architectural style consistent and compatible
with other structures in the area. The DRB has reviewed the proposal on two occasions
and, with revisions, has given the project a conceptual approval. The proposal was
revised to place development over structured parking on the site and thus eliminate new
development on the west end of the site. This concentrates development to the east half
of the site where the existing parking lot is located. The building will be quite larger in
scale than the buildings that exist in the area or across the street. However, due to the
extreme grade change from the road to the creek and due to the presence of the steep
hillside behind, the project will not appear as dominent as it might on other sites. The
presence of additional height will have little impact on adjacent uses due to the amount of
setback being proposed or open space surrounding the lot. Additionally, there will be
limited front setback for the project along the road frontage, however, the right-of-way in
this area is 125'+ wide and therefore will not have adverse impacts on development
across the street or on vehicular or pedestrian movement. Staff believes that the
proposed building is appropriate for the area and compatible with the surroundings.
Existing Building - North Elevation
6
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The proposed use is an office building with two on-site employee dwelling units. This
area is characterized by commercial, office and heavy service uses serving mostly the
permanent population of the Town with some uses also serving the guest. The proposed
uses are compatible with existing and potential uses and activities in the area.
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Title 12, Chapter
10, of the Town Code.
The proposed development provides all of the required parking for the existing and
proposed uses on the site in a structured parking lot. Due to the office type of use and in
accordance with the loading and delivery requirements for office uses, one loading berth
has been provided in addition to extra parking spaces on the site for van size delivery
trucks.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
Vail Land Use Plan
The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy
guidelines during the review process of establishing or amending Special Development
Districts. Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following policies
are relevant to the review of this proposal:
1. General Growth/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a
7
balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve
both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water, and other natural
resources should be protected as the Town grows.
1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever
possible.
1.5 Commercial strip development of the Valley should be avoided.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill).
3. Commercial
3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas
to accommodate both local and visitor needs.
4. Residential
5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private
efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with
appropriate restrictions.
5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a
full range of housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded.
Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied
sites throughout the community.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the special development district is proposed.
The proposed development is concentrated to the area of the site that is currently
disturbed with parking areas. The proposal will remedy some existing drainage issues
affecting the site. There are several large evergreen trees on the property that will be
impacted by the development. The DRB will be required to review the landscape plan in
order to provide proper mitigation and protection for trees impacted by the development.
Additionally, the applicant has provided an environmental impact report and a drainage
study for the proposed development and those reports shall be made part of any
approval. There are no geologic hazards affecting the site.
8
•
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
As stated previously, the proposal provides for adequate open spaces and buffering of
the project from adjacent uses. Staff believes that there should be large scale vegetation
provided along the north elevation of the building to help soften the scale of the building
and provide adequate buffering in an area with little landscaping opportunity. The DRB
will be responsible for ensuring an adequate landscape plan.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and
off-site traffic circulation.
The on-site vehicular circulation will be mostly accommodated in two levels of structured .
parking with two access points from the frontage road. The pedestrian circulation will
also be primarily within the parking structure or along the front of the building on a path
provided by the applicant. Per Town Regulations, the applicant is required to ensure
snow removal from this path.
9
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions.
See discussion under A, B, and F above.
1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development
district.
The project will be constructed as a single phase project.

Glen Lvon Office Buildine Addition Summarv.
The Glen Lyon Office Building is an existing structure consisting of 14,000 gross square feet and.
10,500 square feet of leasable space. The structure is two stories on the West end and three
stories on the East end. There are approximately 60 surface parking stalls.
The proposed addition will consist of two levels of underground parking accommodating 127
parking stalls, with an additional 24 surface parking stalls at the East end of the site. The
parking structure represents 42,304 square feet of new construction. The office portion of the
project will consist of a maximum of three stories of leasable space representing a total of 37,088
gross square feet and 25,241 leasable square feet. The new construction will also include two
Employee Housing Units.
The construction will include upgrading the existing building with a connecting hallway to the
new construction. This will allow handicap access to both new and existing buildings via an
elevator located in the new construction. Additionally, the existing siding on the building will be
removed to allow new construction to blend with old by using a combination of stucco elements
and new wood siding. A mansard roof will be used on both new and old construction. This will
facilitate the hiding of new and existing rooftop mechanical units.
The refurbishing of the existing building and the new construction will provide site
improvements including a raised bike path for the length of the property adjacent to the Frontage
Road. The overhead utilities are scheduled to be placed underground in this construction
scheme.

ENtr ONMEN'TAL IMPACT REPORT
Prepared for:
Glen Lyon Office Building Partnership
1000 South Frontage Road West
Vail, Colorado 81657
Prepared by:
Peter Jamar Associates, Inc.
PO Drawer 4727
Vail, Colorado 81658
April 23, 1999
The purpose of this report is to provide information relative to a request for a major amendment to
Special Development District #4. Specifically, this report addresses the range of information
required under chapter 18.56 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. Information provided within
this report and other accompanying application information outlines existing environmental
conditions of the site, describes the proposed development plan, identifies potential impacts that
may result from the proposed development and provides recommendations for measures that may
be implemented to mitigate potentially adverse impacts.
Special Development District #4 was established in 1977 and since that time has been evolving into
a high quality mixed use resort complex involving residential, recreational, educational, and
commercial land uses and activities that serve both the Vail local population and the destination
visitor. The evolution of the SDD has required periodic amendments to the SDD to maintain:
market competitiveness and to respond to the changing dynamics of land use within the Town of
Vail.
The Glen Lyon Office Building, a Colorado Partnership, proposes to make amendments to the
existing provisions of a portion of SDD #4. These amendments are intended to provide for a
proper balance of land uses as well as to provide first class professional office opportunities to the
residents and guests of Vail.
Specifically, the requested amendments to SDD #4 are proposed for Development Area D, the Glen
Lyon Office Building. The proposed addition will result in two levels of underground parking
accommodating 127 parking stalls, with an additional 24 surface parking stalls at the east end of
the site. The parking structure represents 42,304 square feet of new construction. The office
expansion portion of the project will consist of a maximum of three stories of leasable space
representing a total of 37,088 gross square feet and 25,241 leasable square feet. The new
construction will also include two Employee Housing Units, totalling 1,865 square feet.
The construction will include upgrading the existing building with a connecting hallway to the new
addition. This will allow handicap access of both new and existing building via an elevator located
in the new construction. Additionally, the siding on the existing building will be removed to allow
new construction to blend with old by using a combination of stucco elements and new wood
siding. A mansard roof will be used to top both the new and existing space. This will facilitate the
screening of new and existing rooftop mechanical units.
The refurbishing of the existing building and the new construction will provide site improvements
that include a raised bike path for the length of property adjacent to the Frontage Road. The
overhead utilities are scheduled to be placed underground in this construction scheme.
Development Area D, originally described as Lot 54 of the Glen Lyon Subdivision, is a 1.7977
acre parcel located between the South Frontage Road and Gore Creek. The parcel is bordered on
the east side by Red Sandstone Creek at its confluence with Gore Creek and on the west side by
the I-70 right of way, which includes the South Frontage Road.
Existing development on the site currently consists of a 10,800 square foot, three story office
building with 56 surface parking spaces which was built in 1982. The Town of Vail
bicycle/pedestrian path crosses Gore Creek to bisect the western end of the site and then parallels
the frontage road to the east for the length of the property. The proposed expansion will not impact
the existing bicycle/pedestrian path where it bisects the site. An additional leg of the
bicycle/pedestrian path parallels the property on the south side of Gore Creek.
Page 1
Adjacent and neighboring land uses include a Glen Lyon open space tract across the creek to the
south and the Frontage Road and 1-70 to the west. Between the Frontage Read and I-70 to the
north is a mixed use commercial development, an office cv L.LFlex and the Vail Associates shop and
equipment maintenance facility. To the east of Red Sandstone Creek there is a gasoline service
station, the old Town of Vail public works facility and a sewer treatment plant. Linvediately
downstream of Development Area D are the other properties that comprise SDI -#4 including the
Cascade Club, the Cascade Hotel and several residential projects.
In 1988, Development Area D of SDD #4 was amended to allow for the addition of an office and
residential building at the east end of the site and a micro brewery, beer hall, brew pub, beer
museum and retail store as an addition to the western end of the existing professional building.
These improvements were never implemented and will be superseded by approval of the currently
proposed amendment to SDD #4.
In accordance with Section 18.56.040 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code the following
environmental conditions have been reviewed:
Hvdrologic Conditions
The construction of-1-70 and the South Frontage Road has essentially isolated local drainage
to the site itself with minor contributions from the Frontage Road. Existing site runoff flows
across the site via several poorly defined drainage paths and discharges directly into Gore
Creek.
A complete drainage study and plan have been prepared for the proposed improvements to
the site. The runoff from the proposed parking structure will be collected in a storm sewer
system and discharged into a sand/ oil interceptor vault. The vault will capture sediment and
other pollutants related to the vehicles in the parking structure and prevent their introduction
into Core Creek. The remaining site runoff will flow through grass-lined swales and other
landscape features that promote infiltration and natural filtering before discharge into Gore
Creek.
A complete copy of the drainage study is included with the submittal of this report.
Atmosnheric Conditions
The proposed addition of 25,241 square feet of leasable space along with 127 covered
parking stalls and 24 surface parking stalls will present a negligible impact to current
atmosphere conditions and will result in a positive improvement over potential future
emissions:
This proposal will supersede the existing SDD regulations which currently allow for
microbrewery and brew pub uses on site. The elimination of potential brewery emissions
and the short term traffic generation of a brewery and brew pub will result in a positive
overall effect on our quality potential.
The office building and residential housing units will comply with Town of Vail regulations
and standards concerning woodburning and fireplace use.
0 Page 2
Geologic Conditions
The office building and residential structure will be located on the flat to gently sloping
riverine terrace above the Gore Creek banks. The National Cooperative Soil Survey,
USDA, Soil Conservation Service mapping of the site has been consulted and copies are
included in the appendix of this report. The mapping indicates that Development Area D lies
within an area of soil type 45, the Forsey Cobbly Loam. This soil type is suitable for the
type of development proposed. This geologic setting supports similar types of building
structures all along the Gore Creek Valley. There have not been any geologic issues
associated with the existing development on site or with any of the other development that
has occurred on similar geologic terrain up or downstream of the site.
The building sites are not located within the Gore Creek 100 year floodplain or within any
defined georgic hazard or avalanche zones.
Site specific geologic studies will be completed for footing and foundation design prior to
building permit submittals. No impacts are expected to result from the proposed
amendments with regard to land forms, slope and soil characteristics, or potential geological
hazards.
Biotic Conditions
The native vegetation on the upper terrace of the site, including the building site for the
expansion has been disturbed by previous human activities, including construction of 1-70
and the South Frontage Road, construction of the Town of Vail bicycle/pedestrian path and
the development of the existing office building and parking lot. The vegetation at the
proposed building site mainly consists of introduced grasses and invasive weed species.
A well developed riparian corridor flanks Gore Creek and includes a multi-layer habitat
which, despite high chronic hilmnn disturbances related to the existing and adjacent land
uses and the Town of Vail pedestrian/bicycle path, can support a variety of native bird
species. The proposed improvements have been carefully sited to minimize impact to these
natural habitats. However, approximately five mature trees will be removed to facilitate the
building expansion. A topographic map and tree survey indicating the presumed areas of
disturbance of the site may be found accompanying this application. A complete landscape
plan which provides for revegetation of all disturbed areas is also presented for review with
this application.
Noise and Odor
There should not be any additional noise or odor impacts beyond the typical activities
associated with office and residential uses that are found throughout the Town of Vail. The
elimination of the microbrewery, brew pub and retail uses will substantially decrease activity
on this site and will decrease the level of noise and odor that would have been associated
with those uses.
Visual Conditions
Develvyuxent Area D of SDD #4 is located along a highly developed corridor of Interstate 70
and the South Frontage Road. The proposed development of an office building is
compatible and harmonious with existing land uses and the overall visual conditions of this
Page 3
portion of town. The building will be subject to-the Town of Vail design review process
which will ensure that the proposed development will present a positive visual condition
from an architectural and landscape perspective.
The construction of the new office space and parking areas will include a complete exterior
refurbishment of the existing office space. New siding and a mansard roof element will
unify the old and new elements and present a positive visual image from adjacent public and
private properties.
Development Area ID of SDD #4 is not located within any designated view corridor of the
Town of Vail.
Land Use Conditions
The characteristics of the proposed uses are compatible with existing land uses on the site,
with adjacent land uses and with the approved Town of Vail Master Plan
The Town of Vail Master Plan of 1986 supports the development of these uses in a variety
of ways. The land use plan designates Development Area D as appropriate for Community
Office develup.nent. The definition of Cunnaunity Office within the Master Plan reads as
follows:
This area is to include primarily office uses of all types. Some limited commercial uses,
such as retail businesses; including general merchandise, apparel and accessories and auto
service facilities would also be permitted.
This currently proposed amendment to SDD #4, Development Area D is to allow an
expansion of the office use and to include two employee housing units integrated into the
office building architecture. The amended SDD would be fully in conformance with the
Town of Vail Master Plan and the Community Office designation.
The currently approved SDD includes the ability to construct a mircrobrewery, a brew pub,
a museum, residential and retail space, as well as an office use expansion. The approval of
the current proposal will supersede the existing approvals and eliminate these non-office
uses from this portion of the SDD.
Circulation and Transportation
TDA Colorado, Inc., a Denver based traffic and transportation consulting firm has
completed an Access and Parking Analysis for the proposed amendments to Development
Area D.
The report describes existing conditions, the proposed project and calculates traffic volumes
and trip generation demands created by the proposed improvements.
The existing access point to the property will be eliminated and two new access points will
be created. In order to maximize efficiency of the parking structure there is no circulation
system between the two levels. Each entrance to the site will access a separate level of the
parking structure. In order to present unnecessary entrance and exit movements as building
patrons search for a parking space the entire lower level of 79 spaces will be assigned to
employees within the building.
Page 4
The TDA Colorado report addresses the requirements for turning movements and concludes
that a restriping of the South Frontage Road to at,t wFriately define travel and turn lanes
should be implemented. The complete TDA Colorado study is included with the submittal
materials for this proposal.
Population Characteristics
The proposed amendments to Development Area D of SDD #4 will have a negligible impact
upon residential densities and neighborhood patterns. The improvements will not result in
the displacement of any existing residents or businesses. Based upon the current US
Census figure for Eagle County of 2.63 people per dwelling unit it can be anticipated that
the two residential units will increase the Town population by approximately 5 to 6 ,people.
The 1984 Town of Vail Land Use Plan uses an assumption of 3.2 persons per dwelling unit
for permanently occupied units. Using these figures the anticipated increase in the town
population would be 6 to 7 people.
The office expansion is intended to provide additional opportunities for the location or
relocation of professional service and office businesses within the community and is not
expected to have any measurable impact upon the town population base.
Additional information which is included with this application for a major amendment to SDD #4
includes a detailed topographic survey that includes existing conditions and locates trees over 6" in
diameter and detailed architectural and floorplan information including a quantitative analysis of the
proposed improvements.
The regulatory agencies which will have review jurisdiction over this project include the Colorado
Department of Transportation for access issues and the Town of Vail for zoning and design review
approvals.
Summarv
The improvements proposed within the major SDD Amendment for Development Area D of
SDD #4 will not have a negative impact upon the physical characteristics of the site in terms of
hydrologic, atmospheric, geologic, biotic, noise and odor, visual or land use conditions. The
traffic and circulation demands can be provided for and the population characteristics of the
proposal will not negatively impact the community.
Gore Creek is recognized, both locally and regionally, as a gold medal trout stream and the water
quality of the stream will be protected through an engineer designed system that includes the
provision of state of the art sediment filtration systems.
Biotic conditions of the riparian corridor are protected by minimizing disturbance of the corridor
and by providing appropriate landscape revegetation.
Circulation and transportation needs can be met through improvements to the existing roadway and
the development of new access points to the site.
Visual conditions of the site are substantially improved due to the elimination of certain uses,
including the approved parking structure, and through the architectural compatibility of the
proposed uses.
Overall, the current proposal to amend Development Area D of SDD #4 represents a lesser impact
to the overall environmental conditions of the site by substantially decreasing the intensity, scale
and type of uses currently approved for the site.

MEMBERS ABSENT:
John Schofield called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m.
2:00 p.m.
1. A request for a final review of an amendment to Special Development District No. 4
(Cascade Village), revising the Glen Lyon Office Building site (Area D), located at 1000 S.
Frontage Road West/Lot 54, Glen Lyon Subdivision.
Applicant: Glen Lyon Office Building Partnership, represented by Kurt Segerberg
Planner: Dominic Mauriello
Dominic Mauriello gave an overview of the staff memo.
John Schofield asked if the applicant had anything to add.
Kurt Segerberg, the architect for the applicant from Resort Design Collaborative, explained that
they had flipped the project around since the last time the PEC saw this in August and January.
He said the entry to the building was now further to the east. He said the present building would
function the same, with possibly some exterior corridors.,, He explained the architecture on the
building would now blend better into the site.
John Schofield asked what the maximum height would be.
Kurt Segerberg said the height was about 60' to the top eave portion, or 72' from the lowest
grade on the south side. He said that the existing road elevation between the garage and the
building was ramped down to try to get enough dimension to fit in two levels of parking. He said
they were trying to identify the entry with perhaps, a porte cochere. He stated the building on the
creekside would be the tallest, but also the least visible.
Dominic Mauriello said the DRB recommended different colors and bay windows to break up the
building.
Kurt Segerberg explained that a pedestrian would have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the
suites and he didn't know if there would be an internal corridor to the existing building.
Brian Doyon said it would need a pretty large ramp for ADA access.
Chas Bernhardt asked where the snow storage would be, as he was concerned with car oil and
debris going into the creek.

Kurt Segerberg explained the snow storage.
Doug Cahill asked about the distance between the street and the front of the building.
Kurt Segerberg said 25' not including the bike path and 15' of landscaping.
Doug Cahill said the 15' berm of landscaping doesn't allow much to offset the height of the
building.
Dominic Mauriello said that this was a narrow frontage and it was suggested at previous reviews
with the PEC that additional landscaping be provided.
Doug Cahill suggested landscaping as a buffer on the second floor.
John Schofield asked for any public comments. There were no public comments.
Tom Weber said the east entrance to the site would be better for visitors.
Kurt Segerberg said he was trying to max parking to reflect the square footage.
Brian Doyon disclosed for the record that he worked in the Glen Lyon Building and had given
information to Henry Pratt, but saw no conflict. He asked about loading and delivery, since there
was no room at the entry and there needed to be a solution for delivery. He stated his biggest
concern was erosion caused by the building shedding water off the roofs onto a steep slope. He
said there could be no retaining wall because it was in the stream setback. He felt the design
was too wide, putting too much pressure on the stream corridor. He asked about deeel lanes for
circulation.
Kurt Segerberg said there were designated areas where a Fedex or delivery truck could come in,
but that it would be a tight situation.
Dominic Mauriello said the recommendation from the traffic study was to line up the entry access
with the one across the street. He then said the 15' landscape or bike path would go away if
decel lanes were added.
Tom Weber stated with 7 stories on the backside, it became too tall on the creek side and
suggested stepping the building down.
Kurt Segerberg thought a dormer would help break up the mass.
Brian Doyon said since all the tall evergreens would be lost along the stream corridor, scaling
down would help. He said he was concerned with only one indoor/outdoor access for the EHU.
He suggested putting the EHU at the other end, where there was a view. He said he felt traffic
going through the building would impact the offices and vise versa. He also felt the EHU should
have access directly to the street to haul bikes, skis,etc.
Galen Aasland said the parking structure would work and that two EHU's were fair. He
supported having offices in Town. He said the applicant needed to scale the elements to a
pedestrian level, since it was not just a car entry, but was in a 25-mph zone and just off the bike
path. He suggested adding a porte-cochere to the entry. He said there needed to be a
significant commitment for trees on this plan and a significant gutter system on the south side.
Dominic Mauriello said there was a drainage system for the entire site and roof drains could be
tied in.

Doug Cahill was concerned with the height, size and bulk on the property. He too would like to
save some of the trees and cut back on the erosion. He said he would like more of a setback
welcoming entry.
Chas Bernhardt liked the project. He said basically, he had the same concerns about the trees
and the water shed. He stated that on page 5 #3 in the memo, the EHU proposal was only 10%
of what the Town Council has required of other projects. He again mentioned the snow storage
area draining into the creek and if the area was heated, it could drain into the main drainage
area.
Diane Golden asked if the EHU's had designated parking.
Kurt Segerberg said, yes.
Diane Golden asked about the EHU requirement in the overall SDD #4.
Dominic Mauriello said that each area had been looked at independently, but that the number of
EHU's in Cascade Village had increased over the years (i.e., Westhaven Condos).
Diane Golden said the lack of EHU's was a legitimate concern.
John Schofield said the PEC's direction for EHU's was 2 or more and the applicant was in
compliance with an SDD. He said that the height was a DRB issue, but felt it reasonable in the
recommendation to Council that a condition be added to tweak the height of the entry. He then
said he assumed the 6 conditions in the staff memo were acceptable to the applicant, with the
additional conditions of erosion control and to tie the roof snowshed into the drainage system.
He also added that the EHU have street access or there be a storage space for tenants and he
Y was hearing substantial landscaping be emphasized. He stated for the record, that this project
would not conflict with the Frontage Road alignment.
Dominic Mauriello said that was correct, according to Greg Hall, the Town's Engineer.
John Schofield stated that this project complied with the required parking..
Tom Weber suggested designating 4-5 parking spaces for snow storage with a separate drain.
Galen Aasland made a motion for approval, in accordance with the staff memo, with the
additional conditions:
1. Lower the eve line of the roof over the center building form.
2. Move either the employee housing units to improve the indoor/outdoor access or
improve the access to these units to make them easier to access by occupants.
3. Add a significant gutter system to the roof which ties into the drainage system for
the site.
4. Provide a commitment to provide significant trees prior to being reviewed by the
Town Council.
5. Provide a pedestrian scale element at the front entry (i.e., porte cochere).
6. Make improvements to breakup the overall fagade of the south elevation; such as massing
and cantilevoring; not just paint.
7. In the drainage plans, provide adequate drainage for snow melt from surface
parking area to prevent draining directly into creek.
Brian Doyon seconded the motion.

2. A request for a worksession to discuss a conditional use permit to allow for the Vail to
Mountain School to construct a temporary classroom on the site of the school for a ten-
month period, located at 3160 Katsos Ranch Road/Part of Lot 12, Block 2, Vail Village
12th ding.
Applicant; Vail Mountain School, represented by Pam Hopkins
Planner: George Ruther
George Ruther gave an overview of the staff memo.
Pam Hopkins explained a 5-year plan and said the applicant wanted to stay at the East Vail
Campus. She said that this year there was a problem with the 3rd grade class. She asked for a
2-year extension for the add on instead of the following summer. She said the modular structure
would not be seen from the Frontage Road or from adjoining houses. She said that after 1 year,
the need may go away.
John Schofield disclosed for the record, that his wife was a Vail Mountain School Board Member,
but that he saw no conflict. He also stated for the record, that there was no public present to
comment.
Doug Cahill said the maximum would be 2 years and asked if it would interfere with the main
entry.
Pam Hopkins explained that this location was the least used area, least conspicuous and most
advantageous, as it would be close to the columns by the door and work well with the circulation
of the school.
Doug Cahill asked about the snow loads coming off the roof.
Chas Bernhardt asked about any neighborhood input.
Pam Hopkins said there had been no input. She stated that this was not beneficial for the school
to keep this structure here. She said that she couldn't imagine that this bond was a Town
procedure.
Diane Golden said the structure seemed so obtrusive to the school.
Pam Hopkins said the structure was away from all activity and it would be painted and shrouded
in wood.
Tom Weber said he was in favor of it as long as there was no loss of sidewalk, but he would
have preferred it behind the building.
Brian Doyon said he didn't see the school wanting to keep it, so he was not in favor of a bond.
He said he would like to see the addition design within 6 months.
Pam Hopkins said this was a non-profit organization; the same as Ski Club Vail'and if the PEC
put a 6-month deadline, you might not get anything.
Brian Doyon said he was seeing more and more Band-Aids and this would be easier than raising
a bond.

Galen Aasland said he thought the PEC should be generous and flexible with this since it was for
kids. He said the PEC hasn't required a bond of anybody else; it was not codified and felt a bond
was mean-spirited.
John Schofield said that 2 years was a practical time frame and a bond was not a practical
solution.
George Ruther summarized that the Board was favorable to a temporary structure for only 2
years.
Brian Doyon brought up the Vail Associates "Band-Aid" and that neighbors were complaining
that it was unsafe. .
John Schofield said to bring the plans back in the next few months to get through the approval
process .
Tom Weber said the need will not go away and he couldn't see that they will build in 2 years.
Pam Hopkins said this is more fluctuating than the public school and it works to have a whole
family at one school, but want it to be absorbed into the whole school.
John Schofield asked for a straw poll with a specific expiration removal date of a 2-year period.
Doug, Chas, and Diane (with plans in) said yes.
George Ruther said this was for clear direction with the straw poll to approve the concept and
before the final review to give the PEG Commission reassurance to not have the structure be
there over 2 years..
Tom Weber said he was in favor of 3 years with a plan on the boards or timelines.
Brian Doyon said he had no problem with 2 years with assurance.
Tom Weber asked for the Mountain School to come back saying this was a 2-year structure.
Galen Aasland said, yes.
John Schofield said, yes.
George Ruther said he would put the 2-year requirement in a memo.
Doug Cahill said he would like it utilized as a classroom in the memo and not for storage.
