Meadow Drive/[_at 5, Part of Tract B, Vail Village 1St Filing. Applicant: Mountain Haus Condominium Association Planner: Bill Gibson I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Mountain Haus Condominium Association, represented by Frit~len Pierce Architects is requesting a final review of an "exterior alteration or modification'° in accordance with Section 12-7A-12 (Exterior Alterations or Modifications), Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of a new front entry feature at the Mountain Haus, located at 292 East Meadow Drive. As part of this review, the applicant is requesting a variation from the setback standards of the Public Accommodation District in accordance with Section 12-7A-6 {Setbacks), Vail Town Code. The proposed new front entry feature will replace the existing canvas awning located on the north side of the Mountain Haus building along East Meadow Drive. The proposed new front entry feature will consist of a cantilevered timber canopy with gables and pitched roofs- A significant portion of the proposed front entry feature will be located within the Town of Vail's East Meadow Drive street right-of-way. Drawings of the proposed entry feature have been attached for reference. As part of this project, the applicant is proposing to reconfigure the existing nonconforming short-term guest loading and drop-off area located in front of this building along East Meadow Drive. The proposed reconfiguration of the existing short-term guest loading and drop-off is intended to bring this area into conformance with the Town of Vail's minimum required engineering standards, improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow, and improve traffic safety along East Meadow Drive. Drawings of the proposed shock-term guest load'ung and drop-off reconfiguration have been attached for reference. Since the majority of the proposed entry canopy structure will be located on Town of Vail property, the applicant is proposing to provide public improvements as part of this project. The applicant is proposing to install 2,456 sq.ft. of heated brick pavers. The proposed pavers will replace the existing sidewalk along the north side of East Meadow Drive from the bus shelter to the parking structure tunnel, and pavers will replace a portion of the East Meadow Dnve street between the Mountain Haus and the parking structure. Drawings of the proposed public improvements have been attached for reference. For the Commission's information, the applicant's representative has submitted their previous conceptual designs for the Mountain Haus and East Meadow Drive that the Mountain Haus explored in an effort to improve their entry„ improve their short-term guest loading and drop-off, and improve the flow of traffic along East Meadow Drive. Drawings of these conceptual designs have been attached for reference. Comments from Greg Hall, Director of Public Works, pertaining to these conceptual designs have also been attached for reference, The applicant, their representative, and staff feel that their current proposal is the best design solution, which is feasible, to upgrade their entry and improve the traffic conditions along East Meadow Drive. Il. TaWN CODE Since the Mountain Haus was lawfully constructed prior to the Town of Vail adopting Zoning Regulations, the existing structure is nonconforming in regard to many of the Town's current development standards. The regulations of Title 12, Chapter 18 {Nonconforming Sites, Uses, Structures and Site Improvements}, Vail Town Code,. address the use, expansion, and continuance of nonconforming structures such as the Mountain Haus. The purpose of these regulations is stated in Section 12-1$-1 {Purpose}, Vail Town Code: This Chapter is intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming uses and structures by prohibiting or limiting their enlargement, their reestablishment after abandonment, and their restoration offer substantial destruction. While permitting nonconforming uses, structures, and improvements to continue, this Chapter is intended to limit enlargement, alteration, restoration, or replacement which would increase the discrepancy between existing conditions and the development standards prescribed by this Title. Section 12-18-5 (Structures and Site Improvements), Vail Town Code, states the following: Structures and site improvements lawfully established prior to the effective date hereof which do not conform to the development standards prescribed by this Title far the district in which they are situated maybe continued. Such structures or site improvements maybe enlarged only in accordance with the following limitations: A. Lot And Structure Requirements: Structures or site improvements which do not conform to requiremenfs for sefbacks, distances between buildings, height; building bulk confrol, or site coverage, may be enlarged provided, that the enlargement does not further increase the discrepancy between the total structure and applicable building bulk control or life coverage standards; and provided that the addition fully CC}RfOrmS wlfh setbacks, distances between buildings, and height standards applicable to the addition.... • 2 D. Off-Street Parking And Loading: Structures or site improvements which da not conform to the off-street parking and loading requirements of this Title may be enlarged; provided, that the parking and loading requirements for such addition shall be fully satisfied and that the discrepancy between the existing off-street parking and loading facilities and the standards prescribed by this Title shall not be increased. Staff believes that this proposal conforms #o the intent and requirements of these regulations and is an allowable alteration to an existing legally nonconforming structure. This praposal does not increase the amount of site coverage on the Mountain Haus property and if approved,. this proposal will conform to the setback requirements of the Pubiic Accomrnadatian District. The Mountain Haus had no parking requirements at the time of its construction and as a nonconforming structure continues to have no parking requirement. Since this praposal only affects the Mountain Haus' short-term guest loading and drop-off, not general parking ar delivery parking, the Mountain Haus is not required to come into conformance with the parking standards of Title 12, Chapter 1 D (Off-Street Parking and Loading), Vail Yawn Cade. After further review of this proposal and the regulations of the Town Code, Staff has made a determination that this proposal meets the definition of a "major exterior alteration ar modification" per the regulations of the Public Accommodation District. Section 12-7A-12 (Exterior Alterations or Modifications}, Vail Town Code, states the following: Review Required: The construction of a new building ar the alteration of an existing building shall be reviewed by the Design Review Board r'n accordance with Chapter 99 of Phis Title. However, any project which adds additional dwelling units, accommodation units, fractional fee club units, any project which adds more than one thousand (9, 000) square feet of commercial floor area or common space, or any project which has substantial off-site impacts (as determined by the Administrator) shall be reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission as a major exterior alteration in accordance with this Chapter and Section 12-3-t~i of this Title. Due to the nature of the work involved and the substantial off-site impacts associated with this proposal, Staff has determined that this proposal requires Planning and 'Environmental Commission approval as a "major exterior alteration ar modification." Section 12-2-2 (Definitions}, Vail Town Code, defines a substantial off-site impact as follows: SUBSTANTIAL OFF-SITE IMPACT.' An impact resulting from development or redevelopment on the surrounding neighborhood and public facilities in the vicinity of a development or redevelopmenf site having a considerable amount of effect upon the area. For example, substantial off-site impacts may include, but are not limited ta, the following: deed restricted employee pausing, roadway improvements, pedestrian walkway improvements, streetscape improvements, stream tract/bank restoration, loadingldelivery, public art improvements, and similar improvements. The regulations of the Pubiic Accommodation District are unique in that they grant the Planning and Environmental Commission the discretion to approve variations to fihe setback standards during the review of an LLexterior alteration ar modification" without a variance. Section 12-7A-6 (Setbacks}, Vail Town Code, states the following: 3 In the PA District,. the minimum front setback shall be twenty feet (2L?), the minimum side setback shalt be twenty feet (2Q J, and the minimum rear setback shall be twenty feet (20a. At the discreti©n of the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or the Design i4eview Board, variations to fhe setback standards outlined above may be approved during the review of exterior alternations or modillcafions (Section 12- 7A-72 of this Article) subject to the applicant demonstrating compliance with the following criteria: A. Proposed building setbacks provide necessary separation between buildings and riparian areas, geologically sensitive areas and other environmentally sensitive areas. B. Proposed building setbacks comply with applicable elements of the Vail Village Urban design Guide Plan and Design Considerations, C. Proposed building setbacks will provide adequate availability of light, air and open space. D. Proposed building setbacks will provide a compatible relationship with buildings and uses on adjacent properties. E. Proposed building setbacks will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with prescribed setback standards. Based upon these regulations, Staff directed the applicant to revise their application from a request for a variance from Section 12-7A-6 (Setbacks}, Vai! Town Code, to a request for final review of an "exterior alteration or modification" in accordance with Section 12-7A-1.2 (Exterior Alterations ar Modifications}, Vail Town Code. The regulations of the Public Accommodation District are also unique in that #hey allow far flexibility from strict compliance with the regulations of Title 12, Chapter 10 (Off Street Parking and Loading). Section 12-7A-11 (Parking and Loading}, Vail Town Code, states: ...short-term guest loading and drop-off shall be permitted in the required front setback subject to the approval of the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Qesign Review Board. Based upon the regulations, the Planning and En~riranmental Commission may approve the recanfiguratian of the Mountain Haul' shor#-term guest loading and drag-off within the front setback along East Meadow Drive as part of this request for an exterior alteration or modification without a variance. Please mote that the proposed short-term guest loading and drop-off areas are not intended for use as parking spaces or delivery parking spaces as required by Title 12, Chapter 1 Q (Off Street Parking and Loading). General parking and delivery parking are accommodated in #his area by the existing public parking spaces designated along the south-side of East Meadow Drive. • 4 IIL BACFCGFtOUND In the fall of 2000, the Mountain Haus proposed to construct a similar front entry feature at their north entrance along East Meadow Drive. This proposal included discussions of a joint venture between the Mountain Haus and the Town of Vail to make streetscape improvements to East Meadow Drive. It was determined that streetscape improvement to East Meadow Drive would not be a high priority in the Town's Capital Improvements Program at that time, so the Mountain Haus has decided to proceed with a proposal for a new front entry feature and abandon proposals for joint effort streetscape improvements, Since the Mountain Haus is proposing to construct a significant portion of their new front entry feature on Town of Vail property (i.e. the East Meadow Drive right-of-way), Town Council permission is required. Upon hearing the applicant's previous request at its Tuesday, October 20, 2000, meeting, the Town Council granted the applicant permission fo proceed through the planning process. At its November 7, 2001, public hearing, the Town of Vail Design Review Board approved, with conditions, the proposed new front entry feature at the Mountain Haus. The Design Review Board°s approval is contingent upon the Planning and Environmental Commission's approval of this exterior alteration or modifbcation request. If the Planning and Environmental Commission decides to deny this request, then the Design Review Board's approval of this proposed new front entry feature will be null and void. The Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the setback variance request for the proposed front entry feature at its November 12, 2001, public hearing. The majority of the Gommissioners were not. supportive of the setback variance request. Some of the Commissioners' concerns included the following: that construction of the proposed entry feature would worsen an already dangerous traffic situation on East Meadow Drive, that approval of this variance would be a grant of special privilege, that the proposed entry feature needs to be part of a comprehensive development plan for the site, and that the Town should receive some public benefits for allowing the Mountain Haus the use of public property At the applicant's request, this item was tabled for further discussion to the December 10, 2001, Planning and Environmental Commission's public hearing. At the applicant's request, the Town Council held a worksession at their Tuesday December a, 2001, afternoon hearing to discuss the applicant's front entry feature proposal. The purpose of the worksession was far the Council, as the property owner of the East Meadow Drive right-of-way, to give the applicant general feedback and direction about the concept and design of the proposed entry feature. The Council did not. review the applicant's setback variance request and the Council took no formal actions pertaining to this proposal. A majority of the Town Council members were generally supportive of the concept of the Mountain Maus making improvements to their north entry. A majority of the Council members were also generally supportive of the concept of allowing the Mountain Haus to encroach onto public property to accommodate improvements to their building. As the East Meadow Drive right-of-way property owner, some Council members were comfortable with the project as presented, some Council members were opposed to the project as presented, and other Council members stated that they would be comfortable with the project if certain changes were made to the entry feature design. • 5 Some of Council's recommendations for improving this proposal included: reducing the size and scale of the proposed canopy, expanding the proposed snow-melted areas, examining options for eliminating or reconfiguring existing interior building space to accommodate the entry feature, and examining options for redesigning the East Meadow Drive street alignment. At its December 10, 2001, public hearing the Planning and Environmental Commission held a worksession to discuss this proposal with the applicant and their representatives. The Commission was generally supportive of the proposal; however, severs! Commissioners expressed continued concerns about the affects of this proposal on traffic flow, pedestrian circulation, and public safety. At the applicant's and stafFs request, this item was tabled far further discussion to the January 14, 2002, Planning and Environmental Commission's public hearing. The applicant's previous application for a variance from Section 12-7A-f (setbacks}, Vail Town Code, was withdrawn on the January 14, 2002, Planning and Environmental Commission's public hearing agenda. The Planning and Environmental Commission continued its review of this praposaf as a request for an "exterior alteration or modification" at its January 28, 2002, public hearing After additional review and discussion of this proposal, this item was tabled to the February 11, 2002, Planning and Environmental Commission public hearing for further review. IV. STAFF RECOMMEN[]ATION The Community Development Department recommends apprawal at the requested variations to the setback standards of the Public Accommodation District as part of an exterior alteration or modification subject to the following findings; 1. That the proposal provides necessary separation between buildings and riparian areas, geologically sensitive areas and other environmentally sensitive areas. 2.

That the proposal will provide adequate availability of light, air and open space. 4. That. the proposal will provide a compatible relationship with buildings and uses on adjacen# properties. 5. That the proposal will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with prescribed setback standards. 6 The Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested exterior alteration or modification, including the requested variation to the setback requirements of the Public Accommodation District, subject to the fallowing findings: 1. That the proposal is in compliance with the purpose of the Public Accommodation District 2.

That the proposal substantially complies with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. 4. That the proposal does not otherwise have significant negative effect on the character of the neighborhood. Should the PEG choose to approve this request for an exterior alteration or modification, the Community Development Department recommends the fallowing cflnditions: 1. That the applicant meets all Town Staff conditions prior to the application far a building permit. 2.

There is a concern that if the turnaround is too close and easy to use, we may be encouraging traffic to use it as a drop off.1Ne thought the turnaround should be east of the front door. The enhanced, dedicated three-point turn submitted was our attempt to accommodate turnarounds and at the same time not encourage drag-offs. ]n all the scenarios the distance from the covered bridge bus stag to the gate needs to accommodate 2,40 'west bound buses and provide room when the 1NB buses are parked to get the east bound bus through. The current gate location meets this requirement. The next criteria is that the roadway width. remain 22'. In order for parking spaces to be legal they need to meet our required sizes. SecondEy the public works department felt if any thing was improved on this side of the building, then the turning movement had to be accommodated in order to consider the situation improving over the existing situation currently. Any scenario which did not improve the ability to adequately turnaround was rejected. There was a desire to eliminate any backing movement over the pedestrian walk on the opposite side. The town of Vail standard for cul-de-sacs is 45' radius. The minimum to handle a 30' panel truck. The minimum to handle a fire truck is 3~'. The absolute minimum to handle a passenger vehicle (suburban or cargo van} is the minimum radius of 24' plus a 2' overhang of the vehicle and a 2' shy zone to avoid hitting objects (walls)This equals ~3'. We do not build cul-de-sacs this small we try to get the 35' radius. Scheme # 1 Turnaround is too smalP. Scheme # 2 Bus gate moves to close to covered bridge. Scheme # 3 Moves gate and provides no turnaround Scheme # 4 Moves gate, turnaround is too small If a radius of 28 from the pillars may work with the gate remaining in its same location Scheme # 5 No turnaround Scheme # 6 Moves gate Scheme # 7 Moves gate to a location which does not accommodate the eastbound bus movement. Improves the turnaround a little bit but the movement was not shown on submittal. The movements of the cars west of the entry are not accommodated. Concern with the expanded area becoming another illegal parking space. Scheme # 8 Has private functions beyond the bus gate. The partial turnaround does not go far enough. Scheme # 9 Road too narrow. Scheme # 1 tl Backing movements in pedestrian zone. • Scenarios not shown were the full size turnaround. The moving of the front door or a front door operation to the northeast corner of the building and the turnaround between the Vail Mountain Lodge and the Mountain Haus, Potential for a entry through the parking structure and a bridge across and eliminate the need fior cars out front. The potential for a double gate system where Vail Mountain Lodge and Mountain Haus guest access the first gate and a second gate where the buses exit. A turnaround is still needed and a queuing area. For the gate use. Some of these scenarios wHi take cooperation with the Vail Mountain Lodge or the Town of Vail.
