That the praposed iocation of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section of the zonirrg code and the purpases of the Two-family Residen#iai (R) district. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the condi#ions under whrch it will be operated or mairatained will nQt be detrimental tca the public health, safety, ar welfare or materially injurious to ~ properties or improvements in the vicinity. 12 ~ . ~ 3. Tfiat the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable prowisitrns of the Gonditional use permit sectiQn of the zoning regulations. C. Consideratian of Factors Reaardin~g the Setback Variances: 1. The relationship a# the requested variance to other existing or po#ential uses and structures in the vicinity. This proposed additiQn in the side setback Gs associated with a re- raofing of an existing garage that vvas previously granted a variance ta be located within the required setback. StafF believes that the proposed re-roof is in keeping with the architectural character of the neighborhood, and staff does not believe that there wifl be any additional negative impacts associated with this proposal in comparison to current conditions to the ather exosting or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Archi#ectural pRans have been attached for reference (see Attachrnent D). 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and [iteral interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to aehieve compatibitity and uni#armity af treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the ~ objectn+es of #his ti#le withou# a grant of special privilege. Staff belieues the applicant has requested the minimum amount of relief from fhe strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the setback regulations necessary to aehieve compatibility and uniformity among sites in the vicinity and within the Two-Family Residential (R) District. Staff belieues #he praposed increase in rvof structure volurrqe lacated within the setback will not result in a grant of special privi{ege as the existing garage previousfy received a variance to be constructed within the required setback. Staff believes this ta be an extraordinary circumstance and exceptional condition. There#ore, Staff does nat believe this proposal will constitute a grant of special privilege. 3. The effec# of the requested variance on light and air, clistriloution of populatian, franspartatian and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilifies, and public safety. Staff does believe that the propased setback encroachment will not have a significant impact on the publie health, safety or welfare, publie facifities, utilities, flr light arrd air in cQmparison #o existing conditions on the site. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems ~ appliGable to the propnsed variance. 13 , . D. The_ Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the foldowinq • findinqs before_granting a variance:R 1_ That the granting of the variance wiil not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the wariance wifi nat be detrimental to the public health, safiety or welfare, or material6y injurious to properties ar improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted fcar one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal iraterpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsis#ent with the objec#irres of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraardinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that da nat apply generally to other properties in the same zone. ~ c. The strict interPretation or enforcement of the specified ~ regulataon would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properfie5 in the same district. - IX.

SUMMARY ~ The applicant, Stan Andersan, Vail ValEey Medical Cen#er (WMC), represented by Bra;un and Assaciates, Inc., is requesting a Gonditional use permit to allow for a tourist/guest service related facility accessory to a parking structure. Mare specifically, the WMC is proposing to seil skiee/guest parking in their existing parking structure ta the generai public an weekenefs during Vail's ski seasan. Based upon Staffs review of the criteria in Section VIII of this memarandum and the evidence and testimorry presented, the Communaty Development Department ~ recommends approval of this request subject to the fndirrgs ancE conditions noted in Section lX af this memorandum. The applicant is aiso requesting a Wariarace from the provisions of 11-4B-78-2, Vail Town Code, to allow for the erection of signage for the skier/guest parking exceeding the allowable sign area limits. Based upon StafFs review of the criteria in Section VIII af this rriemorandum anci the evidence and testimony presented, the Comrnunity Development Departmen# recommends approval of thes request sub}ect #v the findings and contfitians noted in Sectian IX af #his rnemorandum. II. DESCRtPTION OF REQllES7 The applicant is requesting a conditEanal use permit to allow for a tourist/guest service rela#ed fiac`rlity accessory ta a parking structure. Niare specificakay, the V1/MC is proposing to prouicie short-term skierlguest parking to the general public on weekends during Vail's ski seasan. The applicant is requesting ta sell ~ up to 100 exis#ing parking spaces daily in the WMC parking structure for skierlguest parking an Saturdays artd Sundays. Sales of these parking spaces wilf be eonducted at the South Frontage Road entrance to the WMG parking structure. The applicant has indicated that this en#rance wisl be staffed and 1 4 business #ransactions will be conducted between the hours of 8_00 a.m. and ~ Noon on Saturdays and Sundays. The applicant has indicated that 30 percent of the WMC campus is composed of tenant businesses that do not operate on weekends and that surgical procedures and other treatment units at the WMC have reduced staffing on weekends. Based upan these decreased staff and patient parking demands, the applicant has indicated that there is usually a surplus of 107 to 137 par9cing spaces at the WMC parking structure on weelcends. Therefore, the applicant believes #hat 100 parking spaces can be sold on vveekends to the public fQr skierfguest parking without any negative impacts to the demand for patient and staff parking for the WMC. A copy of the applicant's reques# has bEen attached for reference (see Attachmen# C). The applicant is also requesting a variance frflm the prpvisions of 11-413-7B-2, Vail Town Code, to allpw for the erection of signage for the skier/guest parking exceeding the allowable sign area limits. The 1NI1nC parking s#ructure business frontage is approximately 65 fee# alang the South Frontage Road. Based upon this business frantage, the applicant is permitted to erect a maximum of 13 square fee# of signage pursuant to Section 11-4B-7B-2, Vael Town Code. The applicant is propasing to erect a temporary 20 square foot freestanding sign mounted within the South Frantage Raad right-of-vvay (see Attachment E). The applicant will be required to enter into a license agreement vFrith the Town of Vail for the teorporary use of the right-of-way. ~ The applicant originally proposed to erect a sandwhich board styfe sign; however, Section 11-5-2G, Vail Town Code, prahibits signs not affixed or attached to the ground or any structure. Therefore the applECant has agreed to erect a freestanding sign affixed to the ground anly during the permitted business transaction hours for the skierlguest parking. All signs associated with this conditionaE use permit shall be subject to Town of Vail desFgn review. Ili. BACKGROUNd On December 22, 1997 the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commissian approved a conditianal use permit to allow skier/guest parking on weekends and holidays in the Vail Vallsy Medical Genter parking structure. This candjtional use permit approval has since expired. The applicant's current signage proposal is scheduled for review by tne Town of Vail Design Review Board at its January 15, 2002 pukalic hearing. IV.

Therefore, this proposal is subject to the issuarrce of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12-16, Vail Town Cade. A. Gonsideration of Factors Reqarding Conditional use Permits: i. Retationship and impact of the use on the developmen# objectives of the Town. This type of proposed use is permitted as a conditional use in the ~ General Use (GU) Distrtct. Staff believes that #his proposal is consistent with thE purpose of the Gerreral Use (GU) District and the goals of the Town of Vai! Land Use Plan referenced in Section V of this rnemorandum. 2. The effect of fhe use crn light and air, clis#ributian of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, par3cs and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff believes that this proposaf will have a positive impact an the above mentioned iterns, since this propasal will reduce demand on public parking facilities during peak weekend hours. This propasaf may increase the level of bus ridership at the 1NMC bus stops, but staff does not believe t'hat this will create negati+re impact on bus service capacities. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, autamotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic ftow ~ and control, access, rtianeuverability, and removal of snow frorn the street and parising areas. Sfaff believes that this praposal will have a positive affect on the above mentioned items. This proposal will reduce the amount of averflow skierlguest parking currently accomrriodated along the South Frontage Road.

Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and balk of the prapQSed use in relation #o surrounding uses. The applicant is not proposing to make any physical changes to the existing parking structure and the operation of this use will be temporary in nature and all sigraage shall be subject to Town of Vail design review. Therefore, staff does not believe that this proposaf will have any negative affects of the above mentioned items in cnmparison #o existing conditions on the site. B. The Pfanning and Enviranmental Cornrnission shall make the follov+rinq fndings before qranting a conditional_use permit: 1.

The Vail valley Medical Center currently has a parking structure that has 219 spaces, most of which are not used on the weekends. VVMC wauid request that i[ be authorized to sell up ta ] 04 parking spaccs to the general public qra Saturdays anci Sundays during the ski season. This resource can greatly benefit the Town of Vail and skier population by reducing the number of cars that park on the South Frontage Raad. Tn addition, VVIvIC has close proximity ta the'Tvwn af Vail Bus stap located to the South of the parking structure on West Meadow I7rive. In order to advertise the availabiiity of parking, VVMC request the use 4f a sign (see attached) that is Iarge enough to be seen by westbound traffic on the South Frontage Road. We baIieve the praposed sign dimensians are adequate far this purpose. SIGNAGE CQLORS. VVMC is submitting a sign that has some bright calors. W e believe these coIors cauld bc changed to any scheme as long as the sagn s's large encrugh. TIYe sigii wnuld be a"sandwicli Uoard " style sign that would be located oti the 5out11 end af the parlcing s[ructure next at the control gate. Tlie hours of opera#ion would be frarn $AM until 1 1 AM. The position wil] bc manned to operate the contro] gate and at I IAM, the sign wiil be removed. The automatic function on the gate will allow guesd to exit. A small pamphiet will be distributed to parking guesi that directs them to the bus stop and will have a cantact phone number for assistance while parked at VVMG. The effect of this program utilizes curretrt VVMC entrartce and exit routes and due to the temparary location of the sign ihere will he no " area character change" for this location. ~ ~ ~ STATEMENT AND GENERAL USE DESCRIPTION ADDRESSING 1`HE fiOLLOWING FACTQRS: A. Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make the use cornpatible with other properties in the vicinity. Vail Valley Medical Cenier is seeking a conditional use permit to sell to the general public access to VVMC's parking structure. Use af the structure would be on weekends only, when the hospital has an abundant number of unused parking spaces. Selling 10{} spaces to the general public will sti11 allow• VVMC to meet patient and emplayee parking demands. Gurrentiy, th.ere are 330 available parking spaces camprised af 2(]7 inside the parking structure and 123 in the front parking lot. Typical usage on weekends shaws approxirnately 40 vehicles parked in the front lot and 70 inside the parking structure. B. The relatiorYShip and impact af the use an development ahjectives of the Town. Allowing the sale af existing parking spaces at Vail ValIey Medical Center is a positive use of community resaurces tovvard its ongoing garking shortage. ~ C. 'Fhe effect of the use on iight and air, distribution of population; transpartation facilities, utilities, schaols, parks and recreation facilities, and otlier pubiic facilities azeeds. Distribution an the visitor papulatian and reduction of overburden parking facilities wauld be camplimentary to accessing the Town of Vail. D. The effect upon traffie, with particular rcference ta congestion, autamotive and pedestrian safety and cannivance, traff c flaw and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. A reduction of overflow parking on the Frontage Roads is foreseen. Pedestrian safety is complimented by use of tlze Town of Vail bus located on Meadow Drive. E. The effect upon the charaeter of the area in which the proposed use is ta be located, ijicluding the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding u5es. By enabling Vail Valley Medical Center to utilize existing parking spaces to meet public need is a positive use of community resaurces. This prflgram ixill relieve eangestion on the South Frantage road and make access to recreational fac'rlities easier for the guest. ~ 01I99I2063 04:42 970-926-7576 BRAUN ASSDCIATES PAGE 62 JRN-69-R003 16:18 FRDM: T0t970 92G 7575 P.002 W 9 ~ lc=1.tPs 'Chc uaitid parklng structurc for the V'vN,[rC campus at 181 W.

The purpase of today's worksession is to provicfe #he Planning and Environmental Cammission with an introduction to the project; identrfy potentia] issues; discuss issues identified by the Town af Vail staff; and provide direction t4 the appficant. At this time, the applicant is pfoposing to return to the Planning and Environrnentai Comrnission for a final review in March. ll. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQIlEST The applicant, Nicollet Island Development Company, Inc., has submitted an applicatian to the Town of Vail for a major amendment ta Special Devebpment District No. 36, to allow for a rraixed use hotel, for conditional use permits to aElow for the construction of afractional fee club anci 42 Type III Employee Housing Units; and for a rezoning af 28 S. FronQage Rd. I Lot 9A, Vail Viliage 2"d Fiiing from Heavy Service to Public Accommodation. The request will facilitate the construction of a Faur Seasons Resort, whicn includes 140 hotel rooms, tataling appraximately 76,705 sq. ft., 20 cQndominiurns, totaling approximately 53,445 sq. ft., 20 fractianal fee uroits, totaling approxima#ely 48,006, 42 emplayee hausing uni#s, a restaurant and bar, I'rmited retail space, 9,387 square feet of conference and rneeting space, and a spau`health cluub. The applicant's program analysis has been attached (Attachment B) for reference. ~ The appficant is proposing is a deviatian from the maximum bui[ding height. The maximum building laeight in the Public Accornmodation zane district is 48 ft. The ~ { applicant is propasing a maximum height not to exceed the 2001 appraWal of 73.5 ft. However, the curren# plans indicate heigh#s up to 81 ff., and architectural projections up to 94 ft. According to the applicant, alf other deuelopment standards prescribed by the PubBic Accommadation zone district wili be met, induding density, grass re5ideratial ffoor area, site coverage, landscaping and s'[te development, and parking and loading. It is important to note that there are some above-grade encrQachments into the 20 ft. setback, as preseribEd by the Publie Accommodation zane district. In addition, the applicant is prflposing significant underground encroachments into the 20 ft. setback. The Public Accommodation zane district requires a 20 ft. setback from all properky lines. Houvever, Section 12-7A-6: Setbacks, Vail Tawn Code, allows the Planning and Enaironmental Commission to grant variations to the setlaack requErements. A reduced set of plans have been attached (Attachment H) for reference. I11. BACKGRQUND The propasal for the Four Seasons Resart includes two deuelopment sites: ihe existing Chateau at Vai1, located at 13 Vail Road f Lots 9A-9C, Vail Viliage 2 nd Filfng and the existing Alpine Amoco Service Statian, located at 28 S. Frontage Rd. / Lat 9A, Vaii Village 2nd Filing. A vicinity map has been attached (Attachment D) for reference. The underlying zoning on the Chateau a# Vail development site is Public ~ Accommodation. The Town of VaPI Land Use Plan designates the northern porEion of the site as "Resort Accommodatioru and Services" and the southern portion of ihe si#e as "Transition°. The Town of VaE! Land Use Plan defines these as follows: Resort Accammodation and Services This area includes activities aimed at accammodating the ovemight ana' shart term visifor to the area. Primary uses include hotels, lodges, service stafions, and parking structures (with densities up to 25 dwefling units ar 50 accommodatiQn urrits per 6uila'able acre). These areas are Qrisnted toward vehrcular access from 1-70, with afher support commercial and ,busrraess services irrcluded. Also aflowed in thr's category, varould be instftutianal uses and variaus municipal uses. Transition The transition designation applies to the area between Lionshead and the Vai! ~ Village. The activities ancl site desi,gn of this area are aimed af encouraging I pedestrian flow through the area and streragfherring fhe carrnectron between the j two cammercial cores. Approprrate actrvitles r'nclude hotefs, lodgrng, arrd other ~ faurist arienfed residential units, ancrllary retail and resfaurant uses, museums, I areas af public art, nature exhibits, gardens, pedestrian pfazas, aRd other types ~ of civlc and culturally orlented uses. T,his des+gnaffon would include the righr-of- way of Wesf Meadpw Drive and the ad1acent propertres to the narth. ~ 2 . ~ • ~ ~ The existing Chateau at Vail contains 120 hotel rooms at 280 square feet each. ~ In 2000, an applicatian was submitted to the Town of Vafl for a demalition of the ~ existing Chateau at Vail, and for the construction of a new mixed-use hotel. The ! appfication included the establishment af a new Special Development District, and conditionae use permifs to aflaw for a fractianal fee club and Type III employee housing units. ardinance No 14, Series of 2001, approved the establishment af Special Devefopment District No. 36, Vail Pfaza Hotel West, and adapted a develapment ~ plan in accordance with Chapter 12-9A, of the Vail Town Code. Ordinance No. 14 has been attached (Attachment G) for reference. Lot JA, Vail Village 2Rd Filirrg is the site of the Alpine Amoca Service Station. The site is currentCy zaned Heavy 5ervicE and has a land use designatton of °Resart Accommodations and Services" (see above.) fn October of 2001, the owner of the Alpine Amoco appeared before the Planning and Environmentai Cornmission in a worksession format to discuss possible amendments to ths Heavy Service zone distriet which would have aliawed recCevelapment of #he site with the addition of multip[e family dwelling uni#s atop the senrice statbon. No forma6 ac#ion was taken on ihe proposal, and all applications have subsequently been withdrawn. IV. S1TE ANALYSIS ~ A R1DfB complete site anafysis will be provided for the final review of this proposal, tentatively scheduled for March. Given the camments to be prvvided by the Tawn of Vail Design Review Board and the staff, and any additional feedback from the Planning and Environmental Commission, staff anticipates that changes to the proposal will be made that will affect the development ' standards data. According to the application infarmation provided by the applicant, no deviations to the prescribed deuelopment standards are sought with the exception of a deviatian to the rnaximum building height.

DISCUSSION ISSUES The purpose of this worksession rneeting is to allow the applicant an opportunity to present the propossd plans to the Planning and Environmental Commission and to prourde the applicant, public, sta#f, and 4he Commission an opportunity to identify issues for discussion at a future meeting. The Commissian is not being asked to take any formaf positions on this application at this time. However, staff has ideratifiied eight issues at this time that we believe should be discussed. The issues include the following: A. Camplete Deuelopment Applicatian The applicant has submitted applications for a major amendment to Special Development Distric# iVo. 36, two canditianal use permiis for the ~ Fractional Fee Giub and the Type III Employee Housing Units, and a rezoning for Lot 9A from Heavy Service to Public Accommadatifln. At this 4 ~ ~ time, staff has identified the follawing issues with regards to the application: 1. A full site grading and drainage plan, including all existing and proposed grades, and all retaining walls, must be submit#ed. The drainage plan must be substantiated by a drainage report prowided by a Colorado professional engineer. 2. A flaod plain study is required far all wark io be done with Spraddle Greek. 3. A vicinity plaru, which includes the lirnits far both sides of the North Frontage Road from INest Star Bank and the Municipal Buildirag entries to the Roundabout, Vail Road, fram the Frontage Road to Meadow Drive and V+lest Meadow Drive from Vail Road to the hospital bus staps. 4. A complete landscape plan prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined on the Town af Vail development revieuv application. 5. All parking spaces must lae numbered ar+d labelsd (i.e. fuli-size, compac#, valet, etc,) 6. AIl units must be labeled with thair praposed use (e.e. EHU, FFU, DU, AU). 7. A madel rnust be submitted. 8. ACI fEaor plans and eEevations must be su6mitted at a scale of 1l8". 9. Plans are inconsistent. ~ Pursuant to Section 12-7A-12 (A)(2)(j) ot the Vail Town Cade: Any additfonal informafiorr or material as deemed necessary by the Administrator or [he Town Plarrning and Environmeratal Commrssion may be requested. ls there any adciitional information or materials that the Planning and Environmental Commission finds is necessary to be submitted for review and cansideratian priar #a acting upon the requests of the apq[icant? B. Compliance with applieable master pEans and the design guidelines The C4mmunity Development staff has contracted with Jeff Winston, of Wins#an Associates, to provide an analysis of this project with regards ta the applicable master plans and design guidelrnes. His analysis is attached (Attachmen# I) for reference. C. Location of Uses and Connection to West Meadow Drive The commercial uses in the builcting are generally located along the Frontage Road and Vail Road intersect6an. S#aff belueves that it would be beraeficiai ta the project's des+gn anci the Town of Vail to have act'rvity- generating uses along West Meadow Drive. In addition, staff krelieves that it is important to create a pedestrian cannection inta the ViElage and ~ Lionshead via West Meadaw Drive. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan encourages a better cannectian between Lionshead and Vail Village. 5 t _ This area is designated as "7ransition" in the Vai! Land Use Plan, and the Land Use Plan describes this designation as fallows: ~ I The transitiQrr designatron a,pplies to the area between Lionshead and the Vai! Vrllage. The activities arrd sife design of this area sre arrned at encouraging pedestrian flow thraugh fhe area and strengthening the eonnection 6efween the twa commercial cares. Approprrafe activitres fnclude hofels, lodging, and ather tourist ariented residenfiaf units, ancillary retail arrd restaurant uses, museums, areas of public art, r,ature exhibifs, gard'ens, ped'estrian ,pfazas, and other types of civic and cufturally ariented uses. This cfesrgnation would include the right-af-way of West Meadow Drive and fhe adjacent properties ta the narth. Does ihe Planning and Environmental Commission believe that additianal consideration should be given to the lacation of activity- generating uses along West Meadow Drive? Does the Planning anci Environmental CQmmission believe #hat a pedestrian cannectian via West Meadorrv Drive into the Village and Lionshead is rtecessary? D. Movement alang Frontage Raad ~ The fagade along Sfluth Frontage Road is approximately 420 ft. long. Staff has concerns regardang the lack of variatian alang this elevatMon. ~ 1Nhile the plan generally maintains a 20 ft. setback along tnis property line (with the exception af elevatar towers), staff believes that there needs to be additional variety and movemenf in this fagade. Staff believes that this can be acYrieved by adding substantial steps in the building or rnodifying the appearance of the buiiding to create a perception that the building is a series of buildings, rather than 4ne iarge structure. aaes the Planning and Environmental CQmmission agree that additional movement and variation ta the farade alang South Frontage Raad is necessary? Qoes the Planning and Environmen#al Gvmmission have any suggestioras for mociifieations to the building which would create additional rnovement and variation to this farade? E. Loading and Delivery Laading and delivery berth requirements shall be determined for the praposed development using the Town af Vail Zoning Cade. The maximum number of bays aliowed on the site shall not exceed 5. All ° bays must work independently of each ather. Ef 3 bays are required, the mix and AASHTO design wehicle shall be 2 SU-30 and 1 WB-40. If 4 bays are required Qr provided, one 1 WB-50 must be added. If 5 bays are required or provided, an additional SU-30 must be added. The site must also accommQdate a WB-60, wh`sch requires no backing onto public travel ways. In addition the porte-eachere sha11 meet the requirements for an ~ or+er the raad caach with adequa4e parking at all times af the year. 7he Direc4or of Public Worlcs recommends that all backing operatwons take 6 ~ place within an enclased structure to minimize the impacts to adjacent praperties. Trash callect+on will need to be a separate function on the site and the maneuverability of this function needs to be shawn. Does the Planning and EnWironmental Cammission have additianal cancerns regarding loading and delivery? F. Proposed Setbacks In 1999, the Town of Vail approved a teut arrtendment amend4ng tne prescribed development standards for the Public Accommodation zone district. In approving the text amendments the Town adopted five setback criteria that are ta be used by the Pianning and Environmental Cormmission when considering deviations ta the required minimum 20- fQQt setback. These criteria are to be used in place of the variar+ce procedures when considering de+riations to the requireci setbacks. The Town deterrnined that providing flexibility in the implementation af the 20- foot setback requirement was desirable and could servE a public purpase provided that cerEain design and land use considerations were addressed and the various criteria were met. To aid in reuiewing requests for deuiations fram the minimum setback requirement the following regulation was adaptecf: 12-7A-6: SETBACKS: ~ In the PA Distriet, the minimum franf set6ack shafl be twenty feet (20), the minimum side setback shaN be twenty feet (20), and the mlrtimu,m rear setback shall be h,venty feet (20). At the discreflan of the Planning and Environmental Commissrorr and/or the Desigrt Aevrew Boar'd, variafions to fhe setback standards outlined above may be appraved during the review of exterior al[ernations or modiffcatrons (Section 12-7A-12 of this Article) subject to the appJlcant demonstrating compliance with the fvllowing criterla: A. Proposed building setbacks provide necessary separatian between buildings arad riparian areas, geoJogicafly sensitive areas arad other envrronmentalfy sensrtive areas. B. Proposed 6uifdrng setbacks cnrnply vvrth applica6le elemenfs of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations. G. Proposed burlding setbacks wifl prauade adequafe avallabr'Ir"ty of {rght, air arrd apen space. D. Proposed 6u11ding setbacks wi!l pravide a campatible relatronshlp wifh buildings and uses on adjacerrf properties. E. Proposed 6uilding setbacks will result in creative design solufioras or ather public 6enefits that cauld nof o[herwise be achieved by conformance with prescribed setback srandards. ~ There are same minimal above-grade encroachments into the 20 ft. se#back. ReductiQns of the plans have been attached (A#tachment H) for I 7 e i reference. The applicanf is propvsing significant underground . encroachrraents into the 20 ft. setback to accommodate on-site circulation and underground parking. Daes #he Planning and Environmental Commission betieve that above-grade encroachments into the 20 ft. setback meet the cri#eria outlined by Sectian 12-7A-6: Setbacks, Vail Town Code? Daes the Planning and Environmen#aI Gommission belieae that the helow- grade encraachments intD #he 20 ft. setback meet the criteria outiined by Section 12-7A-6: Setbacfcs, Vail Town Code? Are any ehanges suggested? G. Mitigation of E}evelopment Impacts Pursuant to Section 12-7A-14, Nlitigatian of Development Impacts, Vail Town Cade, I Property nwraers/developers shalt also be responsi6le for rnlrlgatfng direct impacts of their deuefopmerrt on pubfic infrastructure and in all cases mitigatiort shall bear a reasonable relation ta the develo,qment lmpacts. lmpacts may be determrned based on reparts prepared by quafified cansultants. The extent of mitigation and pu6lic amenify rmprovements shaN be 6alanced with fhe goals of redevelopment and vvill 6e determined by the ~ Planning and Eravironmental Cvmmission in revaew of deveiapmenf projects and cQnditlonal use permrts. Substantial vff- site rmpacts may include, buf are not Irmrted to, the followrng: deed restricfed employee housing, roadway improvements, pedes[rian walkway rmprovernerrts, streetscape irn,provemerrfs, stream tractlbarrk restoration, laadrng/delivery, public art rmprovements, and similar rmprovements. The irrfenf of fhis Secfron rs to only require mrtigatron for large-scale redevelapment/developmenf projects uvhich praduce subsfantial vff-srte impacts. In addition, Section 12-9A-9: Development 5tancEardsr Vaii Town Code, states the following: Development standards including lot area, site dimensians, setbacks, height, density control, site coverages, Iandscaping and parking shalf be deferrnined by the rown Gouncr'f as part of the approved development plan with consrderation of the recommerrdatrans of fhe Planning and Environmental Corrrmission. Before the Town Council appraves developmenf starrdards that deviate from the underlying zone districf, it should be determrned that such clevaatiQn pravides benefits to the Tawn rhat outweigh the adverse effects of such devratron. This determrnation is ta be made based on evaluaPion of the proposed specral developmen[ district's compliarrce wrth the design criteria ~ rautlrned in Section 12-9A-8 of this Article. Etesides the obviaus, (i,e., emplnyee housing, streetscape 8 o r ~ improvements, roadway impravements, public art, Ioading/defivery facilities) are there any other specific mitigating measures that the applicant should b+e pursuing at this time as part of this develapment application? H. Height According to the applicant, they will nat be requesting any additional height beyond that granted by the 2001 Special Development District apprQVal. The maximum building height approved by Qrdinance NQ. 14, Series of 2001, was 73,5 ft. at its highest ridge, adjacent to South Frontage Raad. The current proposed plans indicate, however, certain ridges to be in excess o# 80 ft, As currently proposed, these ridges do not qualify as architectural projectians. Staff believes that it is appropriate to concentrate height along the Frontage Road. However, this does lead to significant impacts with regards to shading of the public rnght-of-way. A sunlshade analysis has been attached (Attachment H) far reference. Craes the Planning and Enwironmental Commission belieWe that the height, as praposed, is acceptable far this site? Daes the Planning and Enr?ironmental Cammission hatre any recammendations with regards to building height? VII.

Compatibility: Design campatibility and sensitivih, to the r.'njnrediate eriviranment, neighhorlronrl arrd udJac.etitpropertfes relative to arcltitectural desigli, sccrle, barlk, building height, buffer zones, idenCity, charucter, visual integrity arzd orientcrtipn. The proposed hotel is designed in such a way that is bath compatible and sensitiYe to the immediate enviranment, neighborhaod, and adjacent properties wliile at the same time giving the project an identity as a ~ commercially viable hotel project withiu both the itrunediate neighborhood and the eommunity at large. The predominant orientataan af the proposed hotel is toward existing pedestrian areas along the eastern edge of the site. Public, pedestrian oriented functions inciudirrg the predominant pedestrian entrance to the hatel, spa, conference facilities, retail azea, and the restaurant have been located along VaiI Road. The areas along VVest Meadow Drive are intended to buffer the larger scale cjf the prapnsed hote.l against the residentiat nature of some of the smaller scale buildings ta the southwest. This area has the largest setbacks, greatest amount of tandscaping, and lawest buijding heights in arder to relate to the exisiing buildings along Fast and West Meadow I?rive, maintain a camfartable pedcstrian scale, and to provide for a transition to the smaller scale residential properties to the sauth. In order ta create this transikion and buffer zone along V4rest Meadow Drive, the greatest density and subsequent ~ height for the hotel have been located a14ng the 5outh Frontage Road along the northern edge af the site. The ~ buiiding hexght in this area, althouQh exceeding the underlying zoning, directly relates to the heights of existing and proposed struetures east of Wail Raad, The intent is to create a"ga#eway" to the village, as structures woutd step up to sin-iilar heights on either side of Vail Road. Other proposed huffev zones are also consistent with or exceed the underlying zoning in that they meet or exceed the rrunimurn required prnperty line setbacks and coverage requirements. The mass and bulk of the prop4sed hoiel, as deterniincd primarily by the prescribed setbacks, site cvverage, landseape coverage, and gross residential floor area j•equirements within the te,wn code, all canform to the underlying zoning. It is the belief of the applicant that because it is the underlying zoning whicrti deterniines the builditrg envelope for any given si#e, and hccause ille proposed prqject complies with tliese portiotis of tlie underlying zoning, it is the intent of the Vail Gomprehensiue Plan that a hotel o#' lhis size, density, mass, 1nd bulic is intended tiiis site. Furthermore, the site's location, proxrmity, access to main ihorouglifares, and ~ prescribed uses, help to lezid credence to this belief.

The graposeci development substantialJy complies writh applieahle goais and policies as expressed in both the ~ Streetscape Master Plan ariri the Land Use Plan. Tfie Land Use Plan identifies poztions of the site as both "resort accommodation and senice" and as "transitian". As such, the plan recornmends activr'tics and uses consistent with the underlying zoning aimed at accommodating the overr?ight and short-term visitor, As sueh, the uses and firnctions are ariented in orcier to inaintain a eleaa separation between the vehicular orientation of the resort accommocfatiort zone along the South Frontabe Raad and the pedeskrsan orientation of the transirion zone along West Meadow Drive. The praposed improvements ta the Svutli Frontage Raad, Vail Road, and West Meadflw Driwe conceptually comply with rhe applicable elements of the Streetscape Master Plaxt by prnviding imprmvements in the materials, configurations, and sizes as u?dieated in the plan.

In our opinion, it is imperacive to lae able to accurately visuaiize this building in its surrounding setting (which is diffieult to do From just the drawing set). Neveirthe]ess, our initial rcactions to the currcnt proposal are as folkows: 1, The Vail Master Plan desicnates the Fran#age Road as the appropriate location for the taller buildings ~ iu Vail (stepping down to tkae south). In that contcxt this building is appropriate. Hawever, the buiidine as propa5ed wiil be the largest single building in the Villagc.

It may be desiratale to havc such a statement at the front door to Norih America's prcmier winter resort_ On the other hand, it diiTers rnarkedly from the collection of smaller buildings that is part of Vail's distinctive character. Tl1at is worth apublic discussian. In that persPeitive we raise the questian as to whether, as an a9temative, the building could be expressed as a collection of smaller buildin+s, perhapa simtlar to how the WI is an asscmbla;e of buildin;s, or (forgive the coinparison) haw somz of the casinos in Black Hawk have bcen externally Treated as separate buildings. 2. Although the central portion of the building is quite taiL it steps dawn to the east and west. Creates a relatively low prafile at Vail Road. However, height and claseness seeins to overpower Scorpio and Alphom. 3. A si(=nificant design cqncern is with the proposed roof. It appears to be a rnansarcf roaf, although it could be described as a hip/gambrel, since ii has a slopine top. However, the sloping top will not likcly be visible, so ii wil] appear as a mans<trd. 1Vlansard rnofs are of course desirable because they capture additional space ia the raof. In this case, trecause the top of the roof is not Visible, and the way the tower raofs are treaTed, the appearatace niay resenibie that af a very steep gable/hip. Whether rnaztdsard, or steep gable, neither are particularly ecrnsistend with Vail's tradition. We rccommend that additiona] study be given to the roof, such as creating a true gable ronf,, in some limited ccanditions the Tawn has a3{orved (Sonnenalg) a small infemal parapet when not visible frQm a public way. 1TW ~ Drawings Revtiewed: FOLTR SEASONS IiESORT•--WAII,, Zehren and Assaciates, Inc., Oct 28,2002 ~ Vail-Fou.

The Cornmissiort is not being as€ced to take any farmal pasitions on this application at this 4fine. As such, staff will not be praviding a formal recommendation at this time. The next step in the review process of this development applica#ion includes a final review tentafively scheduled for February 10, 2001 II, pESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Johannes Faessler, has requested a worksession meeting with the Planning and Environmental Cflmmission to present a praposed development application intended to facilitate the redevelopment of the Sonnenalp Hotel and Swiss Cnalet (attachment A). The key elements of the proposal include: ' • Expansion and upgrading of one of Vail's Public Accommodation zvned properties, • Irnproved five-bed taase added to the existing ladging inventary, ~ • Addition of retail square footage along a portian of East Meadow Drive, ~ * Gans#ruction of recommended sireetscape improvements to East ~ Meadow Drive, • Eiimination of a porkion of existing surface parking and the provisivn of a new parking structure and Ioading area, and • f'roWision of employee housing within the Town of Vail. A more complete description of the applicant's request is outlined in the lefters dated August 2002, December 2002, and January 2003 and have been attached for reference (attachment B) arong uuith a reduced copy of the proposed pfans, datec! Qecember 17, 2002 (attachrnent C). III. BACKGROUND On September 4, 2002, the Tawn of Vaii Design Review Baard held a public hearing far the eonceptual reuiew of the applicant's proposed plans. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the applweant to present the proposed plans ta the Design Review Board artd to provide the Board with an opportunity to offer feedback on the design aspects of the propasal to the applicant. The following is a summary of the 8nard's initial comments: • NJ911ow Bridge Road is a majar pedestrian way. Haw will the negative aesthetic impacts of the doading and delivery taeility be mitigated? • The proposed new curb cut intended to provide ve~ilitu~aAaec~-6•tt n*-•+-t Taaisman Condarrainiums will have negative irrEpacts on the pedestrian chau-acter o# East Nleadow Drive. How will the negative impacts of ~ vehicuFar access be mitigated? How does the applicant propose to regulate vehicular traffic on East luieadaw Drive? • The east elevation of the Sonnenalp Hotel addition neecls to be "dressed up". The current design is npt cansistent with the overall design anti detail of the rest of the building. • The East Meadow Drive fiagade of the Sonnenalp Hatel adelition needs ta be "brolcen up", both horizontaNy arid vertically, to bring in#erest and ar#iculation #o the builcling. • The main raof ridge design of the Sonnenalp Hotel addition needs more variation in height and shfluld not be one or two lang, constant ridge lines. This redesign will add interest to the building and aflow more sunlight to reach the pedestrian way aCong East Meadaw Drive. « The primarily four-story tal9 farade of the nflrth elevation of the Sonnenalp Hotel addition is too close to East Meadow Drive. The upper stories of the building should be stepped back from East Meadnw Drive. • More attentian should be given tQ the landscape design along East Meadow Drive. Laok far opportunities ta improve the landscaped areas without negativefy impacting the retail uses praposed on the first level a# the building. • Cantilevers of the upper portions of the Sonnenalp Hotel rnay help to breakc up the vertical fagade of the prppased design. • More thought to the pedestrian nature of East Meadow Drive is needed fn the design. It wou4d be undesirable ta lose the pedestrian feeling of East Meadow Drive by aflowing vehicles to use East Meadow Drive ta access the Talisman Condaminiums. 2 I ~ A similar roa# design or architectural feature to the ane lacated over the ~ ~ parte cochere on the existing hotel should be introduced on the propased ho#el addi3ion. This approach would bring more similarities to the design and address the 6bng, contlnunus ridge line that is currently proposed. • The existing entry #eatures on the Swiss Chalet should be preserved and reconstructed on the redevelapeci buifding(s). The er+try fea#ures are beautifully designed and would be a great addition to the new building(s). • The building masses along East Meadow Driue need to be further "broken ; up" and articulated. " • A variety of raof heights is needed in both the Swiss Chalet and the ~ Sonnenalp Hotel additian, • The exterior of the Swiss Chalet should be designed ta appear as a series of different buildings. Such an appraach would begin ta address r4of he'rght and building massing issues. On September 23, and again on October 14, 2002, the applicant appeared before the Planning and Environmental Commission with a request for a ~ worksessian meeting to discuss the proposed eievefopment application. a copy ' of the approved P{anning and Enviranrnenta!

SITE ANALYSIS i A more complete site anafysis will be provided far the February 10, 2003, meeting of the Planning and Environmental CammiSSian. Given the comments provided by the Town of Vail Design Review Board and the staff ta date, and any additional feedback from the Planning and Environmental Cammission, staff anticipates that changes to the proposal will be made that will affect the development standards data. According to the application information provided by the applicant, no variances to the prescribed development standards are sought with the exceptian of a variance to the minimum landscaped area a requirement ~ Zoning: F'ublic Acccrmmodation Larad Use Plan Desagnation.

The Comrnission j is not being asked ta take aray formal positions an this appfication at tnis tirroe. Hawever, staff has identified fiWe (5) issues at this time fha# we believe should be i discussed. The issues are: Comqlete Developrnent Application i i The Town of Vail has reWiewed the develapment application submitted by the applicant's represen#atiue far cornpletian and campliance with the prescribed ~ 4 ~ submittal requirements. Upon completion af our (Gommunity Development, Public Works„ and Fire Department) review, it has been determined that additianal information is required to be submitted and reviewed befare any final deeisions may be made by the reviewing boards. Many of these issues have already been communicated to the applicant. C?thers have not. For reference purpases, the following irofarmatifln is needed: • A vicinity plan which includes the Vail Village Inn existing dmprovements located an the north side of East Meadow Drive • A complete Eandscape plan prepared in accordance with the requirement5 autlined on the Tawn ofi Vail deve9opment review applicatian • A campCeta roof plan with existing and proposed grades shown undemeath to be used in the deterrnination of building height • Ilfusfrate the location of the required 20-foot setback line on the site plans as required in the Public Accommodation zone district • Address the comments provided by the Town of Vail Public Works Department in the letter dated December 20, 2002 (attachment E) • Address the comments provided by Jeff Winston, Winston & Associates, in the letter dated January 13, 2003 (attachment F) Pursuant to Section 12-7A-12 (A)(2)(j) of the Vail Town Cade, `Any additional informatian or maferial as deemed necessary by the Administrator or the 7own Planning and Envircrnmental Commissron may * be request2d" Is there any additional information or materials tha# the Planraing and EnvironmentaE C4mmrssion finds rs necessary to be submitted for review and consideration priar to aeting upon the requests of #he applicant? Proposed Setbacks In 1999, the TQwn of Vail approved a text amendment amending the prescribed deveGopment standa:rds for the Public AccDmmodation zane distric#. In approving the text amendments the Town adopted five setback criteria that are to be used by the PCanning and Environmental Commission when considering deviations to the required minimum 20- faot setback_ These criteria are to be used in place af the variance procedures when considering deviations fa the required setbacks. The Town determirred that providing flexitaility in the impiementation of the 20- foot setback requirernent was desirable and cauld serve a public ptarpose provided that certain design and land use consideratians were addressed and the variaus criteria were met. To aid in reviewing requests for deviations fram the minirnum setback requirement the following regulatian was adopted: 12-7A-6: SETBAGKS: ~ In the PA aistrict, the minimurrr front setback shall 6e twenty feet (20), the minimum side setback shall be fwenty feet (20'), and the 5 i minimum rear setback shall be twenfy feet (20'). ,4t the discretr`on ~ I of the Planning and Environmental Commissron and/or fhe Design Review Board, variafions to the setback sfandar'ds ouflined above ~ may be approved durrng the revrew of exterror alfernations or modifr'catfons (5ection 12-7A-12 of this Article) su6fect to the a,aplicant demonstrafirag cornpfrance with the follnwing crrterra: A. PrQposEd building setbacFcs provide necessary separataan between buildr`ngs and rrparran areas, gealogically sensitive areas and other errvironmentafly sensrtive areas. B. Propased building setbacks comply wifh applrcable elements af the ti/ail ViJlage Urban fleSign Guide PJan and Design Gansideratrorrs. C. Prnpased building setbacks wrll pravide adequate availabflr`ty of lighf, alr and open space. D. Prcaposed building setbacks wrll prvvide a compatible relatlonship wfth burldings and uses on adjacent propertr'es. E. Prapased building setbacks wiN resulf 1rr creative desfgn salutians or orher pub!!c benefifs t,hat could nat ofherwise be achieved by conforrnance with prescribed setback s tandards. i The Design Review Board and staff have completed a preliminary review ~ af the propased site plan. Based upon staff's review af the proposed ~ pEans, comments provided by the Design Review Board, the approved Planning and Enviranmenfai Commission Meeting minutes and staff memas from the t 990/1991 development application to canstruct the Sannenalp Hotei (attachrraent G), and a review of the above-describeci ~ setback criteria, we believe that changes are needed to the proposed ; setbacks in order to ensure campliance wfth the prescribed regulations. For exarnple, the proposed pool deck area an the south side of the Swiss Chalet eneroaches consic{erably on the south side setback. Given the landscape design, the buildirrg's praximity to Gore Creek and the availability of developable space dn the applicant's property, staff believes that the pool area shauld be designed to respec# the 20-foot setback requirement. 4ther areas for consideratian include the loadfng and deliWery facility, the front entrance to the Swiss Ghalet, the retai:l space Iocated an the west end af the Swiss Ghalet, the spa additeon and east end of the hQtel addixion, and the entire East Meadow Drive street frnntage of the Sonnenalp Hotel addition. The ex#ent of any design changes should take into consideration the prescribed setback criteria, the revised sun/shade study, adjacent land uses, and the delineation of the 1 afl-year floodpiain line. Staff cEaes not beFieve that the revised proposal for redevelopment complies with the setback criteria. Specifically, there remains concern with the propo5ed building locations rela#ive to the goals of the Vail Village Master Plan, ihe design of the building no longer addresses a • creative design soiution ar otherwise pravides a public benefit, and #he proposed 52fbaCk5 actjacent to the residential use af the Talisman 6 ~ Condominiurns have potentiaf negative impacts an that adjacent use. Staff believes that design solutions to these issues exist. We recornmend that the applicant meets with the Town staff and Talisman Condominium Association and their representatives to explore soluttons. As designed staff does not support the request for setbaek deviations. Does the Planning and Environmental CommiSSiOn agree that changes shoufd be considered #o the proposed se#taackS giuen #Fae established setback criteria es#ablished for the Public Accommodatian zvne district, the need for compliance with the various masier pfan documents, and the physical parameters of the site? If sv, what changes are suggested? Sun/Shade.Analysis The presence of sun and shade contributes significantly ta the quality of the pedestrian environment. To illustrate this point, simply laok to Pepi's deck, the autdoor dining area at the Red Lian, or seating benches that get used by the public an various days. if the sun is shining, the decks and those benches in the sun are used. The decks and benches lacated in the shade are often vacant. The imporkance caf sunlshade is well documented 'an the Vail ViHage Master Pian. In fact, a whole section of the Vail Village Urban Design Considera#ions is devo#ed to sunlshade. Accorcting tQ Sectian 6 of the Vail Village Urban design Considerations, in , ~ part, "a!1 new or expanded buildfngs should not substantially increase the spring and fall shadow pattern (IVlarch 21 through September 23) on adjacent properties caf the pubfic rlght of way": Ta better understand the impacts of the new and expanded buildings prQpased by the applicant, a sun/shade study has been submitted for review (attachment H). The results of the study clearly illustrate that a significant portion af East Meadaw arive and the acfjaeent properCies to the north will be impacted by the construction of the new hotek and Swiss Chalet. While staff agrees that the eas#lwest arientatiQn of the site cantributes to the effects of sun/shade, we believe that mitigating measures are needed to minimize the negative impacts of the new canstruction to the extent possible vuhile maxirrFizing the positive e#fects of sun on the pedestrian way and adjacent praperties. As an example, the main roof ridge locations of the Sonnenalp hotel addition and the Swiss Chalet could be mowed to the south to minimize shading an East Meadow Drive. Additionalfy, the first and second stories of the building eould be °`set forward° whiie the third and fourth storoes cauld be "stepped back." This patential des%gn option could address several issues beyond sunlshade. It rnight also hekp in addressing the issues of setbacks, building articulation, and pedestrian scale. ~ Girren the criteria established for the r@view of projects and evaluating their impacts an suNshade, as well as the input provided by the Town of Vail Design Review Board, are there any steps that 7 you migh4 sugges# at thais time for the applicant ta pursue in ~ responding to concerns of sun/shade? Mitiqation of Dewelopmenrt Impacts Pursuant to Section 12-7A-14, Mitigation of Deuelopment Impacts, Vail Town Code, "PrQperty owners/developers shall also be responsible for mltigating direct rmpacts of therr development an public infrasfructure and rn a!l cases mitigarion sha11 bear a reasonable relatron to the development lmpacts. lmpacts may be determined based on reports prepared by qualified consulfants. The extent of mitigatron and public amenity improvements shall be balarrced wi[h the goals of redevelopment and wi11 be deterrnrRed by the Plannrng artd Environmentaf CommrssiQn in revieuv of development projects and candrtional use permits. Substantial off-site impacts may rnclude, but are nat limited to, the fo{lowing: deed restricted employce housing, rvadway improvemenfs, pedestrian walkway improvements, s[reetscape improvements, stream tract/bank restoratian, loading/defivery, pUblic art improvements, and simifar impravemerrts. The intent of this Sectron rs ro anly require mitrgatian for large-scale redevelopment/develapment projects which produce substantial off-srte irrzpacts. „ Besides the obvious, (i.e., employee hausing, streetscape ~ improvements, roadway improvements, public art, loading/delivery facilities) are there any ather specific mitigating measures that the applicant shoufd be pursuing at this time as part of this development appfication? East Meadow Drive Pedestrian Mall In 1978, East Meadow Drive, along with a number of other streets and ways in the Town of Vail were designated as a major pedestrian ways within the Village core area. The significance of such a designation placed an importance for pedes#rian-onky traffic on East Meadow Drive and other streets in Vail Uillage. This designation is well documented in a number of the Town's various planning-related documents. In fact, the pedestrian nature of Vail Village is a major attraction #or our guests and estabPishes the ambiance and character of the resort. It should also be noted, hawever, that in establishing #he pedestrian mall system within the fiawn, that agreements for future vehicular access were established by and between the Tawn and variaus prQperly ouvners. One such agreement uvas established wi#h Sonnenalp Properties, Inc. and the Talisman Condominium Assaciation. The applicant has revised the vehicular point of access and traffic circulation design of the project. In response to previaus difficulties and matters of conflict, the applicant is no longer proposing ta prcavide ~ vehicular access or structured parking for the Talisman Condominiums. 8 ~ instead, the applicant proposes that the Talisman Condaminiums gain vehicular access to their si#e and parking are via Eas# Meadow Drive, pursuant to the Town's existing agreements. Staff believes that this design solution will have subs4antial negative impacts on East Meadow drive and the surrounding area. While design solutions can be deveioped to lessen or minimize thase impacts, staff continues to believe that, if passible, the appFicant and Talisman Condominium ovuners should work caQpera#ively together, along with the Town, to devefop an access salu#ion that removes most if n4t alI #he vehicular traffic fram East Meadouv Drive. In an effort to facilitate abetter design, sta#f has drafited a number of design a[ternatives for review and consideratian. These solutions were drafted with the interests of the Sonnenalp, Talisman, and Town in mind. Staff waufd welcorne the opportunity to meet with each of the parties caflectively to discussion the access issues and any possible solutions. Regardless af a meeting to discuss shared access, staff is prepared to work with the Tafisman and Sonnenalp to address vehicular access and circulatian. What input or direction does the Planning and Environmental Commission have for the applicant regarding access and East Meadow Drive? IX.

Summary af Request The Soniienalp Resart is proposui9 to redevelop its property located in the Vail Village. Tl7is ptoject is a cooperative project bet4veen the Talisman Candazni_niurns and the Sonnenalp and represents one coorc3inated redewelopment effar[. The praposed project Evill have a significant positive impact on the economy and aesthetics of the TQwn by upgrading and expanding a waxld-class lodging facility. IVew and upgraded lodging and spa facilities will be provided in order to attract visitoxs ~om all around the world. The most significant amenity of the project will be the zemoval of surface parking along East Meadow Drive and the introducfiion of a tetail carridat on thc south side of the street. T'he est2bLishment af retasl activity in this area cvill inject new life and vitaliry to an area vrhose performance has considexable toorn for impxovement. The project will provide strectscape i.tnprqvements that implement the Town's current streetscape plan and improvements that provide for an improved and sa£e pedeskrian experience along East Nieadaw Drive. "The rrzajority of the pa.rking required Eor tlae project will be l.ocated in a subsurface patlcing garage that extends under the entixe praject. The specific proposal includes a new hotel tiving along the ftontage o£ East Meadow Drive ~ cantaining 3 stories of hotel rooms (46 rooxn.s) and one stary with reta.il at street level. The gxound floox also includes a covered pedestrian arcade, which extends 10' frcarn the buileiing; face to provide pedestrian scale to the building. The hatel additian rurr.s from Vaii Road to the Talisman property. The existing Swiss Haus building will be demoli.shed. In its lacatian will be another portion of this hotel facilaty containing three stori,es af Fraetional Tee Club Units (13 FFUs) and dwelling units (9 DUs) and one story with xetail and lobby atea at street level. This project is arguably ane of tlie most significant and desisable itnprovernents in Vail as it expands and upgrades one o£ the most suecessful resort hatels in the counrry and provides sigmificant amenities iieeded in this axea of the Vail Village. B. Key Elements of the Proposal Key elements of the p3an include: • Expansion and upgrading of Vail's grezanier hatel and spa prapeity. + Improved live beds added to Vail's lodging inventory. • Injection of new retail life to the Meadow Drive corxidox thus improving the cannection frorn Vail Village and Lionshead. • Much needed pedc:skrian and streetscape impxovements along East 11ATeadow Drivc. I Sonnenalp Redevelopment 2 Braun Associates, Inc. • Elimination o£ suzEace parking areas and the proVision of subsurface ~ parking and loat3sng ateas. • Partnership ereated with neighbors to create a coordinated plan. • Employee housing prnvided within the Town of Vail. C. Review Prncess To achieve the Sonnenalp's goals and implemcnt nnany of the Town's goals and policies we have submitted the following applications: +Major Exterior Altexation for the overall redevelopment plan • Conditional Use Permit for a F'ractional Fec Club • Variance applicatiQns to cievelopzxient litxaitations (retail area and hardscape) in otdet to itnplement the Town's goals and policies • Design Review rlpplication for the ciesign components of the grajeet ! In arder for this pxoject to be constxucted these applicatians must be tevievaed and approved by the Planning and Envixonmental Commission (PEC). 'fhe PEC is the final review authority on all of these requests. The xole of the PEC is to review the Sannenalp Resort project with xespect to the criteria listed ir4 the Zofzing Regulations for a Conciittonal Use Perrnit, Maj6r Extenot AlteTation, ~ and Vanances. The Design Review Boaxd will Ue responsible for xeviewing the proposed architecture and design of the building. ~ Sonnenalp Redevelapment 3 Braun Assaciates, Inc. ~ H. Detailed Praject Descriptivn and Zoning Analysis A. Ptoject Site and Ownership As diseussed izx the introduction, this redevelopment ptoject ira:volves three properties: the Sannenalp Resort, the Swiss Haus; and the Tafisznan Condominiums. tls such aIl of these properties are being considered as one overall project for the purpose of development statistics. The ovexall project site eonsists of these sepaxate legal parcels: • Parcel A (1.643 acres, generally the exi.sting SNviss Haus properry and including Taiisman Condom.iniums); • Parcel $(1.553 acres, genexally the existing SannenBlp hotel); and • Parcel C(0.1[35 acxes, generally the Sonnenalp parking area). • Tatal pxoJect area = 3.301 acres The definition o£ lot ax site allaws development site ta be a combinatian of lots of recazci or portions of lots of tecard. While irnproyements are being proposed to the Talisman parcel (landssaping, urzdexground parking, surfaee parking, parttons of the spa area, etc.) no changes are being made to the existing Talisman strueture {ather than sprinkling as requixed bp the Fixe iaeparttnent}. ~ Upon appraval of the red+evelopment plan, the Sannenatp and the Talisman will apply for xevised pIat to create coarciiEZated parcels and easements for all of the individuap properties. ? ~ ~iT`..+ ~ : ',...A ~r.--.w~.~.' , . ~ f#+'~,~' t'~? . 1i ~ 4 d ~ y'~ ~ 1 w'•'Wwt t s. d - rT. ~ i ~~a ~ ~`~'~k^~' 4 * My . ~ ~ ' f ?~'T'!'"' .

Assembly of Uses anci Lots As previQUSly stated, the overali project includes three parcels that comptise one overall development site. The project also includes three separate builclings. `Fhe Talisman is a multiple Family residential bui].ding and the proposed S'%uiss Chalet and ' Sannenalp tagcther are one lodge facility. The definition of a lodge is "a building or group of associated bLiildings designed for occupancy primarily as the temparary ~ Sannenalp Recievelapment G Braun tlssociates, Inc. lodgifig place o£inciividuais or families eirher in accommodation un'Lts or dwelling ~ un~.ts." The dcfinition of lot states that "a lot or site may consist of a suigle lot of recoxd, a portion of a lot of rec:ord, a cornbinagon of lots a#` record Qr partions thereof, or a parcel of land describcd by rnetes anci bounds." The Sonnenalp redevelopment praposal is consistent with botki of these defulitians. Additionllly, since the project is a cambination of scparate parcels, internal setbaeks between the parcels are not recogaitzed by the tawn. Some itnpatovements are being praposed withisi the lot area of the Talisrnan parcel (q.e., underground parking and a partion of the hotel facility). lteplatting and rhe establishrr?c:nt of easements will oceur at a future date to accoarimodate these internal encroachments. 3.

Tafisman Improvements T'he Talisman property is currently developed with one structute containing 16 dwelling units and 20 surface parking spaces. The Talisman property will be modified to allow an underground paxking structure to tra-cFerse under its property. As part af the a,gxeement with the Sonnenalg, the Talisman will be pxovided with 16 undergtound parking spaces (one foc each unit), which w-ili be aecessed through the porte cachere at t,he Sonnenalp Eiotel. The Talisman will reduce its surface parking area to $ parking spaces.. The 8 surface parking spaces will be aecessed £tom East i4leadow Drive pursuant to ~ an existing access easement (proposed tQ be shi£ted tca the east to have less impact on East Nieadow Dtive), czeated when the Talisman was o-uginally platted in 1970, and Town Qrdinance (Oxdinance Na. 14, Series of 1978) a]1Qwi.ng continued access through the pedestrianizeci atea. The TaLisrr?an properky was plattcd vc,ith its only legal access to East Meadow Drive. Subsequent ta this plat approval, in 1978 the Tawn of Vail established certain roads in Vail as "Public MaUs" under the Publie I1•fall A.ct of 1974. Included in the public rnaUs was East Meadaw Drive as wc.ll as othet stxeets Iike Bridge itreet and Ggre Cteek Drive. C7rdinanee 14 established that the "awners af the Talistnan Condominium shali have the right, in perpetuity, ~ of ingxess and egress to and frorn thrir parking lot to East Meadow Drive, inclucling ~ access on said Drive." Other pxojects sueh as the Gasthaff Gramshammex located j on Gore Creek Dtice has been allowed to expand and redevelop and maintain vehicular access through the pedestrianized arca. The proposed plan gready reduces the impacts of this access to East Itiieadow Drive byr reducing the total numbez of surface spaees to eight spaces. The Talisman Candos will have access to a belvw grade parking space accessed itom the rnain entrance Vail Road. ~ Soi3nenalp Redevelopment ~ F3ratin Associates, Inc. i ~ The improvements being rrrade to the Talisman w°ill itnpxave the appezrance of the parcel, as there will be reduced pavcment, reduced parking, and mote landscape area than exists today. 6. Retail Areas and r.imitations The proposed redevelopment plan unplements the Town's gaal of having a vital retail area along East I4Teadow Drive. The Land Use Plan, the 'E7ail Village Master Plan, and the Stseetscape I4laster Plan all reference teta.il innprc,vernents along the south side of East Meadow Drive. The proposed plan inclucies 12,000 sq. ft. of new street level tetail area (19,650 sq. ft. total existing and proposed retail/restaurant arca). Retail storefronts are includeci on rhe entire NAeadotv Driye frantage of the Sonnenalp wing and the Swiss Chalet creatin.g desirable pedestrian flow and strengthenixig of the connection bet«een the Village care and Lionshead. The PA zane d,istrict limits the aniount nf retail square footage allowed on a site to 10°/o of the proposed C7RNt1. The P11 zone distriet was amended several years ago ta pzomote the xedevelopment af Iodging facilities in the Vail Village. The retail area limitation was debated extensively duti.ng this process and at the time was proposed to be increased to allow for adequate retail acrivities in the core retail areas of Town. However, the retail iimitarion was not changed due ta concerns about the potential fQt atcta.il aciiviry in the more resadential areas of the Village. ~ T'he Sonnenalp property is uniquely sitLiated along a major pedesttaan and retail carrzdor. Mast of the Sonnenalp's frontage is along East Meadow Drive, If the proposed plan R=ere to camply with the Town's 10% hnitation, retail eould not be located along the entixe building frontage therefore compramising the vitality oE khe retail environment and the canneetion ta the Village coYe. 5trict and literal interpretation af this zoning standard is in direct conffict with the Tawn's design goals Eor this area of the villagc. In order to unplement Vail's guiding land use doeuments and because the Sonnenalp is uniquely situated, the 5onnenalp is seeking a van'ance from the 10% limitation to pravide for an e:nhanced retail axea and impraved streerscape improvements. 7. Landscape 1's.rea The proposed reveloptnent plan cc,mplies with the overall lanelscape: requirement for the PA zone distrri.ct. '1'he plan includes extensive landscape and stseetscape improvements that implement Town goals and the T'own's Streetscape Flans. However, the praject exceeds the allowable hardscape that can be considexed as "landscape ampxavements." Within the definirion o£ landscape area regulation there is a provision that allows ~ 20%o of the lanciscape area to be "hardscape" (i.e., siclewalks, patios, etc). The Sdiinenalp Reclevelopment 10 $ratui Associates, Inc. proposed redeceloprnent plan exceeds the 20°/o limitation placed on hardscape. The ~ Sonnenalp is uniquely located along three road frontages: Vail Raad, East Meadaw Drive, and Willaw $ridge Road. This site is also located iza a highly pc:desttianized area of the cdwn with heavy zetafl activity. Thus the need for sidetivalks and other lzardscape improvements is necessary tn accornrnodate adequate pedestrian movememt. The proposed srreetscape mastcr plan, the adapted streetscape master plan, and the Vail ~''illage Master Plan akl recommend the rype of improvements ; bcing proposed at the Sonnenalp. These irnptovements, howevet, atc in coatlzct ~ with the genexal hardscape litnitatian estabiished in the PA zone district. ' The applicant is seeking a w ariance from this general resmiccion on hardscape to allow the Sonnenalp to be redevelopcd consistent with the Town's guiding documents. 8. Setbacks ~ The proposed revelopment plan cc+nnplies with the Town's planning docurnents that xeFerenee the creation af comfortable pedestrian envixonments and streetscapes. The PA zone distrfct sets ageneral setback tequirement af 20' from all property lines. Howevex, the PA zone district also states that the Planning and Environrriental Cominission has the discretion to approve variations frorn the setback requirernents subject to the foIlowing cr~teria: A.

Further, the proposed plan cornplies with the direction given in the VailViilage Design Considexations for street euclosure. This eiocument xecammends a certain ratio exist between builcling faces ftonting a street to the height of the building5, The tatio reGOmmended by the plan is 1' of building height for each 2' of building separation. 'The design plan also recommends an average ratio where building heights vary from side to side. While thexe are no buildings on the north side af East Meadow Drive that are dixecdv parallcl to those proposed dn the south side, the plan generallq conforms to the enclosure guideline. Buildings faces on eitlier side of the raad are appraxunately 50' - 74' apart and the eve heights are genexally 32'- 34' in hcight. Wlule the netiu buildings as designed, fully comply with the current height limits, we do believe that adclittoztal height fai the Swiss Chalet is highty desirable to meet current market conditions. The height lizn,it of 48 feet significandy compromises the quality and functianality of the retail space and the residential un.its. It does nat allaw fox meeting the demands a£ today's maxketplace wirh regaxd to noise attenuation between the tetail spacts and the residential spaces ~ and does not allow far adequate interior ceiling heights in both the tesidential and the retail space.

Niitigation of DeveIapment Impacts The PA zone district reqlaires that the I'lanning and Environmental Cammission constdex impacts o#' a development on roadways, pedestrian-ways, and the provision oE emplopee housing. The PEC inay deterniine that rnitigarion is necessary due ta the ixnpacts generated by the rievelopment at zedevel(--)pment project. Any mitigation required must have a clirect telationship to the degree af impact ptoposed. "I'he Sonnenalp redevelopmc;nt will have little impact on the infrastructure of the area, yct will help to unptove the overall ecanomy nf the ax€:a. Below is a list of improvemeiits proposed ta mitigate any impact of this pxoject on the community_ 1. Streetscape Improvetnents The Soniyenalp redevelopment is praviding substantial puUlic stteetscape improvernents along Easr. Meadow Dxive and Willow Bridge Road. The Sonnenalp plans essentially itnplement the Tocun's pxoposed stteetscape improvement plan as ~ Sonuen.tilp Redeveloprr}ent 14 Braun Associates, Ine. well as the cencepts contained in the approved Streetscape 1v1aster Plan. This retail ~ i corridor will be gteatly improved by pxoviding another axea for pcdestrians ta walk and shop. Thcse improvernents will impxave the transit and vehiculax access ~ funttion af the zaad by pxoviding new heated sidewalks and arCades for pesiestrians. N7uch of the pedesttian improvernents ate accurring on the Sonuenalp property rhus expanding the publicly accessible space on to private property. "!'he Sonnenalp is proposing to cost share the streetscape improvements with the Town, since the proposed stteetscape iinpravements implement the Town's streetscape plan and oecur in the Town's nght-of way. 2. Employee Housing The Sortnenalp is cocnmitted to provicling housing for its employees and has a long historp of prQVrding such housing opportunities for its employees. kVhi1e chere is na code requitcment to do so, the Sonnenalp is praposing to provide hausing Eor 14 j new employees generated by the pxoposed net develapment unpact. The following is the analqsis of ennployee generation using the Tdwn's uyforxnally adopted/unofficial ernployee gencratian xatios: Use Number dt Sq. ft. Multinlig:r Employees Retail/Seavice Commercial = 12,000 sq. ft. new -1,891 sq_ ft. denrxoLisheci ,(5/1000 sq. ft) = 50.55 employees Restaurant/Lvunge =-2,422 sq. ft demalished @(5/1000 sq. ft.) _-12 emplayees Meering rooms =-1,8$5 sq. ft. demeiished ~ia (1/1000 sq. ft.) _-1,89 employces Lodgirig = 59 units new - 59 s.uiits demolished (~a (.25/unit) = 0 employees Multi-Pamilp = 9 units - 2 units demolished q)(.4/unit) = 2.8 employces Spa use* = 6,4170 sq. ft. ncw - 1,720 demolished a7 1.25/1000 sq. Et.= 5.85 employees ~ Total Employees = 45.31 net increqse in employees (X 030 multiplier) = 14 new emplayees to be pxovided hausing 3. Access and Circulation T1ze overaII nmgacts of traffic to the site axe xelztively min.or. The Swiss Haus is ' being demolished as part of the rcdeveloprnent ptoposal and mueh o£ the uses are being rebuilt in new structuxes. Thezefore the ttaffie impacts oE` this project include a net retail area increase of 7,687 sq. ft,, a meeting room teduction of 1,8$5 sq, ft., and a net awelling uiu't increase of 7 um-ts. These changes tend to offset one another ~vith anly a negligible Fnerease in traffic to the site. Circulatian to the properties will be improved. The majarity of the access for stafF and guests will continue to occur at the Vail Road entrance. An entrance to the parkistg structure will also be proti-idcd on the east end of the site w-ithin the new Swiss Chalet building. The parlcing structurc is caruiected underneath the entire developmcnt project thus allowing a freedom of movernent be:tcveen the bui.ldings. Since the Talisman will be provided with pasking in the subsurface structure it is anricipated that the majority of the oecupants of that project wi11 utilixe the main entrance on Vail Rpad. Eight surface spaces will be locateci on. the Talisman ~ 5onnenalp Redevelapment 15 i3raun Associates, Inc, ~ pxoperty and will have access direcrlq td East IVfeadow Drive. We anttcipate that these spaces will be used infrequendy and thus have a minor effect ot3 the pedestrian flow along East Meadow Drive. The Talisman owners will require the abili[y to txavel thtough the Tawn's current gate to Qbtain access to theix property uzAess the Town implements its xedeveloprnent pflan which eliminates the g<?te all together. As stated previously, significant pedestrian-way irnptovements are propgsed to enhance pedestrian circulation adjacent to the site. F. Flaodplain Modificatian The Town of Vail has undergone a re-evaluation af the Gore Creek floodplain throughout the Town. This study and analy sis has been submatted to the Federal F.amexgeney hSanagernent Agency (FE1'vLA) fqz appcaval. Once this study is approved bv FEI"v1A new maps wiL4 be produced. LJnttl FEIAA accepts this xevised studF, the maps produced in 19$2 must be utilized. A poztion of the Sonnenalp praperty is impacted by the floodplain line mapped in 1982. This 19$2 rnap shows a cornet Uf the existing Swiss Haus as well as retaining walls and improvernents in the pool area as fofmuig the edge of the f]oodplain. The propased redevelopment plan includes pool and patio aitea rnadifications and building ~ suppoxt colurruis within the curtent floodplain bdundary-. 'I`he building columns are located generallyr in the axea of the existing Scviss Haus faotprint, which currently encroaches witElin the floodplain bounriary. The proposed redevelopment will modifq the flood plaicx but have no net impact on the velocity af floodwaters, no increase in, the surface elevataons of floodwaters, and will have no negative prnpacts on neighboring properties. Therefore any proposed madifieation to the floodplain line can be approved by the TbvsTn oE Vail as a minar modiEication to the floodplain line as allawed by FEMA regulations.

Vail Village Uxban Desxgn: Guide Plan and Design Cansidexations Below is the list o£ Uxban Design Cansiderations fnund in theVaal Village Deszgn Considerations. E2ch of these criteria is being irnplernented in some foxm bEr the proposeci xedevelopment plan. 1. Pedestrianization/Vehicle Penetracion The Design Considerations tecommend differing levels of pedestrianization within the Vaii Village. The goat of the plan is to creace pedestrian circulatinn system that is interconnecteci and pleasant for the pede$trian. The design plan reeagn;Tes that "vehicular traffic cannat be removed froxn certain streets" and therefoare a"totally car-£cee pedestrian system is nat achievable throLighout the entite Village." Many streets witlvn the Vi}lage have car, delivery, and bus traffic. For instance, Gore Creek Dnve is used for aecess to the Gasthoff Gramshamrner and the Sitzmaxk Lodge by delivery veh,icles arNd guest vehiclcs and Bridge Street and Ffansan Ranch Road are used for acress by cielivery vehicles and guest cats to the Bridge Srreet Lodge and other residential properties. All of the guest access azad parking and laading a dehvery ta the Sqnnenalp pxQperties is accessed from Vail Road and Willow Bxidge Raad (via Vi11age Center Drive). The rnajan'ty of the `I"alisman (a 16unit cvndaminium) traffic will also access through the Sonnenalp's parking garage (16 parking spaces) fram Vail Road. The remainder of the Talisman aceess will occur fzom East Meadow Drive (8 total parking spaces) via Village ~ Center Drive. The Talisman's access was originally established from east Meadovv Drive via an access easenient in the late 1960's. In the 1970's the Town af Vail created "public rnalls" pursuant to the Puhlic Mall Act of 1974 to litnit the atnount of vehicular traffic on certain streets. The Talisman was guatanteed access frdm East 14leadovv Drive by COtdinance 14, 5eries of 1978 for all of its 20 parking spaces. The proposed redeveloprnent plan reduccs the effect of the Talisman access by reducing the surEace parking spaees to S spaces and providing arae undexground parki.ng space for each of the 16 condomuu'ums. The plan proposes a reasonable eonnpromise in otder to xeduce the im,pa,cts of pzivate cars on East Meadow Drive. The existing bus tcaf£cc an this street creates more interruption to pedestrian traffic that the few vehicles aceessing the Talisman will. 2. Streetscape Framework The Design Plan recatntnends tha.t stteets be framed by uuildings, stoxefro?nts, ancE landscape/opc;n space improvements. The proposed redevelopment p3an pravides £ot a stteet fratnework with a m.ilKnixe of arcadcs, pedestrian tvaiks, plazas, and storefronts. The groposed plan implemc:nts many of the goals a£ the pzcaposed and adopted Streetscape Master Flan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 3. Stxeet Enclosuxe The Urban Design Plan recommends that streets iri the Vail Village be ftmcci by ~ buildings to create a comfortable and safe e:cperience for pedesttians and shnppers. Sonnenalp Redewelogment 28 Bcaun Assaciates, Inc. Enclosing strcct wit3i builclings, as with Bridge Stgeet, creates visual interest and ~ stimulates thc rctail experience. As discussed earlier, the propased redevelopment plan impleznents the concepts faund in the Town's Design Plan. 4, Street Edge The Desigm Plaii recommends that buildings withia the village Form a stxong Uut irreg,ular edge to the street. The plan encflurages bwldings to be located at or near property lines in otdez to g:ive strang definiti.oan to the pedestriarz cQrridots. The plan ~ also recammends breaks in buildings along a street to cFeate visual intexest. '3'he proposed redevelopment plan pravides an area o€ arcade aIong the stceet, apen areas along the sttcet, plaza areas long the street. The project uses a combination of tecommended srrategies to create an interesting and fnnctional street edge. 5. Views No adopted vietv corridors exist in the area on or as3jacent ta the Sonnenalp pxoperty. 6. Senice and Delivery The I7esign Plan reccaznmends that service and delivery areas be located in areas whexe rhey havG the least impact on pedestrian ways. The plan also xecommends that these service areas be located undex graund where feasible. The proposed tedevelopment plan pravides 1Qac]ing and delivery areas below grade and 'tn the axga .tecotnmended by the Vail VMage I14aster Plan. The area proposed will have minar isnpacts to the pedestrian azeas of the village. ~ 7. 5un/Shade A sun/'shade analysis has been provided witi-i the application materials. The parameters and standards found in the Design Plan are generaRy applicable to the Village Core area (axeas zoned CC1) and is less applicable to other ateas, such as ateas zoned PA. The propose sun/shacle analysis shows that during certain periotis oE the day and year the propasee3 builciungs wifl cast shadows an East Meadow Drive. Whether the bui.lding is laeated on the praperry line of setback 20' this shaditig will occur. There are signifieant breaks alang in the building facade along East Meadaw Drive, such as the hteak whexe the Talisinan property is lacated. Therefoxe there will be significant areas along the steeet that never receive shade. The proposed redevelopment will pYOVide heating in sidewalks to pcevent the accumulation of ice and snow. ~ Sonnenalp ltcdevelopmen# 29 Bxawi Associates, Inc. ~ D. Streeiscape Master Plan j 'T'he adQpted Town af Va.il Streetscape Master Plan recommends the development o£ pedestrian innprovements along the south side af East Meadow Drive. Thcsc recoinmenclations inclucle pavex sideivalks, stcec;t furnishings, landscaping, and rhe similar streetscape unpxovements. 7he proposed Strectscape iNfaster Plan prouides for a revised ' plan and incorgorates the concepts presented in the adopted master plan and the redevelopment impxovements heing proposed by the Sonnenalp.

Camrnission to evalztate a requestfat- more retail area for prnjects locrttecl Yn ctrea.s where at makes sense in the context Of surrozinding developrnent and tivhere it implements other goalti of the Town_ The proposed ermenclynent will promotc caordtnated and harmoniaus develapmenr within the Town to canserve and maintain community qicalities and values, ensure safe and efficient pedestt ian and vehicarlur trcrffic, and prnvide for the sajety and generul ivelfare of ihe commtrnity_ ~ (2) The extent to which the text amendrnent would hetter implement and better achieve the applieable elements af the adopted goaCs, abjectives, and policies outlined in the Vail camprehensive plan and is compatible with the developinent objectives Qf the town; and Analvsis: As ,stated a6ove, the proposed text amendment vvill allaw the Planning and Environmentczl Commissipn (PEC) to cvalzsate an a case-by-basis proposals to add retaal area above the 10% provislon. 1'his tivill allow 1he I'EC to review goals and policies thcrt have relevance to the locution bein,gproposec.l and det~.~rmine rvhether ar raot the Tawn's goals are beang met, thus resicllfng an u hetter implementc7tiort af tlxe Town's gaals. The pr•opo.sed text arraendment will crlfow the landvtivner.s to betler implement the gouls and palicies of Ihe Tawn rather than the existirrg crrbitrcxry "one sizefits ul!"pravisron. ~ i ~ . i ~ (3} The extent to which the text amen;dment deznonstrates how conditions have substarrtially changed since the adoptron of the subjzct regulatian and how the existing regulation is no langer appropriate ar is inapplicable; and Anal vs as: In 1973, when the Znniiig CQde wcts adopted, the Pt1 zane di.ctrict limited the retaiC on lodgeprojects to 20%. In the late 1970's this provrsion was changed to IQ%. The problem that occurs with a"6lanket " provisiora which affects all PA zoned properties rs that it daes nat take into accozant the dijf"erences tlacrt might exi:st from location to location. For instance the TUtivn's rrzaster planning documents speciecrlly recammend providing retaal along East 1l!leac{itw Drlve hiif the 10% provision prevents the implementation of tlie policy. 7'he Town's mcrsterplanning documEnts have changed over the years but the 10% provision has nvt beetr crmended 1o reflect these plcrns and tlae polacies promoted within tlze plans. Thet-ef'ore, conditians have changed which render the 10°1v provision inappropriate given the Town's goals. (4) The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, woricable relationship among land use regulations cQnsistent with municipal development objectives; ~ Analvsis: The praposed amendrnenl to the PA zone district will speeiically further the goal.s of the zaning regulaFions and of the Tawn:s rjzaster plans, The amenclment provides the opportunity to the PlUnning and EnvirUnmental Commission to evaluate a requestfor rrtore retail urea for projects located in czreas where it mcrkes sense in the context of surroarnding develapment and tivhere at im,plements other gouls af the Totivn. The proposed amenclment tivill prornate covrca'inated and harmoniou.s development within the Totivn ta eonserve and mafntain community qualitic.~,r and values, ensure saf'e and ef~caent pedestrian and vehiculcrr trcrffic, and provide,f"or fhe safety and genercrl welf'rrre of'the community.

A request for a worksession to discuss a proposed magor exter'ror alteration: a canditional use perrnit to allow for a fractiQnal fee club in the Public Accommodation zone district; a variance from Section 12-7A-2 (Permitted Uses), Vail Town Code, to allovu far retail uses in 9 Attachment: D Approued l al14/02 excess of 1 Q°!o of the total grass residential flaor area of the structure; and a variance fram Sectian 12-7A-1 Q(Landscaping & Site Development), Vail Town Code, to allow for a deviation from the total Iandscape area requirement, 1acated at 20 Vail Road, 62 E. Meadow ~ Drive, and 82 E. Meadow DrivelLots K& L., Block 5E, Vail Village 1 S1 Filing. Applicant: Sonnenalp Properties, Ine., represented by Braun Assoeiates, [nc. PEar+ner: George Ruther/UVarren Campbeil Warren Campbell introduced the file and gave a descriptian of the request and meniioned that this is just a wark session and staf# will not be giuing a recommendation. He then rEad from page 2 of the staff inemo and gave a chronalagy. He read from page 5 from the staff memo regarding applicable d4cuments and read the goals of the Vail Village Master Plan. He said the site is lacated within two Iand use designations and cavered access opportunities, as listed in the staff inemo. He also braught up the TOV 5treetscape Master Plan and stated there were six issues staff wanted clarification on at this hearing: 1. Complete deveiopment applicateon; 2. lat or site area; 3. praposed setbacks; 4, sunfshade ana[ysis; 5. mitigation of develapment impacts; 6. access requested by the Talisrnan off E. Meadow Drive. He then said the erfteria are outlined in the staff inerno. Qominick Mauriello introd+aced the applicants and went through the project and presentatian and gave the apen space recornmendatians frorrt the WMP. He said the plan recorrrmends there be a plaza space and open 5pace and ouo' p[an includes these. He said we are proposing landscaping and open space on the site and that the parking and circu4ation plan ~ calls for very little or no vehicle actiuity in areas reserved for pedestrians. He said there was Cimited irnpact and ihe Buifding Height Plan, in the VVMP, was used in the past for people deviatirag from iheir zoning. He said they were proposing samethEng that corriplies wi#h the zoning. He mentioned the goals and action steps with the first one having ta do with Vaif Road and the town implementirrg same of that and this propasal reflec#s the same direction. He said infill retail and ladging are what's called for by the plan in this location and this is what we're proposing and that pedestrian activity is accommodated by our propasal in keeping with the P9an. He said parking is accommadated by the parking structure, the Port Coehere, and at the Talisman. He said they believed there is a balance that needs #o be achieved with these palicies. He said the next issue is the Swiss Haus. He said praviding additions to the existing building is what the plan calis for, and they were doing that with a new building. He said fire issues have been worked through with Mike McGee. He said the Streetscape Master Plan is reflected in our proposal 9$°/a and that yau wan't see cars; you'll see buildings. He said with regard to setbacks, that they have wc?rked within the PA zone district's standards for setbacks_ He said the rear setback is very accurate and that aur proposed buclding will be in essentialfy the sarne location that it is in now. He said the Town's plan focuses on sun/shade analysis and the shadows are pretty much contained in one area. He said the urban design elements are not addressed by staff, but are a big part of the plan and that there is also a whole provisian about street edge that says buildings can come up to the property line along the street. He mentianed in aur proposed plan, we do achieve many of the urban design guidelines. He said dining decks are mentioned in the rnemo and the plan helps preserve some quality ar2as, such as La Bottega's. He said the final issue I'd fike to address is with respeCt to access to the 7a6isman and that today, they have 20 spaces. He stated that the Public Mall Act of 1974 allows communities to define spaces for public mall access and that the tawn wants ta encourage kess auto and more ~ pedestrian traffic. He saicf the point is that we have worked hard with the Tafisman to address the access `rssue. TQm 8raun said a project like this is all about balance and the owner, the neighbors, and the Town: all have interests at stake. HE said there are many plans and policies that are in 10 Apprcaved 10f14f02 place here and it's likely that no one is gQing to get everything that they want in this deal. Russ Farrest said there are many pasitive aspects to this project and we just need to address the issues as soon as passible. ~ Jim Lamant said he has a ringing enc6orsement af this projec#. He said Johannes calfed me three years ago and asked me what we {HOa} would think of a praject like this and an arnendment to lhe PA zone district. .Jim said we've got to distinguish between wants and needs. He said we had an indavidual that questioned the switch to pedestrian from vehicular access to the town and Johannes was the #ir5t to offer a cure with the loading and delivery sysiem. He said we are making key steps in aur loading and delivery sysxems in the TOV and #his proposal is a big part nf this progress. Gwen Scarpello said uve have nat seen the de#ail but, in general, we are very supportive of this proposal. Larry Eskwith said the Talisman has conceptually agresd to this develapment and is in the process a# working out a development agreerrient with the Sor+nenalp. He said vrre do not want the PEC to think that all of the issues have been resalved and that aceess is going to be an issue. He said other than some issues, we think the project is a good one and there has been goad eommunicatian between the TalFSman and Sonnenalp. Jerry Orten said he was here on behalf of 7 owners of the Tafisman who have some af the same cancerns that Larry just outlined. He said the issues rewolve around #he ways in ~ which the redewelopment of the Sonnenalp will effect the Takisman, such as rnass & bulk, ; the setback issue, realignment o# property lines, and the possib+lity of the Talisman to redevelopment itself not being hinderecf. 'VVe ask that their signattares be required as a condition of approval and the Talisman 7 wauld iike to be a part nf the decisian #or this ~ proposal. John Sehofield said we cannot resoEve these issues between you; you all have to da that amongst yourselves and as4ced i# Chere was any further public comment? He said this is str+ctly a work sessian and we vvill not be making a decision taclay. He said speeificaily, we have item,s that staff would like feedback on and that having been said, I'll #urn to Gary. Gary Hartman said he is encouraged by what I've seen so far, but there is a big issue of hcaw do we look at this as a whole? He said he wonders if there is a way to make the Talisman mare eompliant with the peclestrian quality of the area and to make it much mare compatibEe. He said the spa [ooks like an afterthought and the retail along both franiages seems excessive and do we really need that much aver there? He stated that there are vacant sfores an 6ridge Street naw. Doug Cahill said the application is being taken care of, I assurne> but the valet parking ~ seems to be an issue. He said the landscaping percentage could be an issue in the long ' run for the whale site, inc6uding the TaCisrnan. He asked if it is ane lot or is it three and that this will be an issue as vve mc?ve forward unless it is resalved. He said the 20' setbacks can be addressed by stepping back parts of the buildings and putting the retail aut. He said he would rather see some mawement there and the bullt and nnass pu9led back a bit. He said that sunshine during the winter shoued be rnaximized and on-site mitigations through landscaping is needed and that he was not stuck on the retai] number. Gearge Lamb said he is in concurrenc€: v+rith everything said sa far and that the Talisman is ~ the reaE issue and he hopes it gets worked ouf and suggested that the Swiss Chalet could be stepped back a bit. ll Appraved 10/14f02 Rollie Kjesba said that obviausly, if you're gning ta have one lot, the Talisman wila have ta be on the application and he agrees that the 4 stories straight up on ihe property line is not going to work. ~ John Schofield asked what ihe current setbacks are right now? Darriinick Mauriello answered on the existing Sflnnena6p along Vail Drive they are in the neighborhaod of 15 to 20 feet. John Schofield said that the Talisrnan folks need to be aware of what their lirnitations are caneerning future developments. He said if you do rao# get that property into one parcel, I tlnink you're all stuck; the Talisman mare sQ than the Sonnenalp. He said from Staff's standpaint, if it does not come in as one application, then we have to start looking at indEViduaE aecess and setbacks #rom internal praperty lines. He said parking definitely remains an issue and he thinks we need to hear from staff regarding Ioading and delivery and setbacks remain an issue as well. DomFnick IV1aurie9lca safd the Talisrnan is out of eonformarrce today and what we're prQposing will bring them more into compleance in several areas and moving the buildEng does not do much about reducing the shadaw. Tom Braun said the setback and sunlshade issues are all interrelated and the ground level retail rnight be right up to the street, is that correct? Yes, ok. John Schofield asked a question af Russ regarding the Talisrnan's use af the 250 addition. Russ Farrest said ihey have it ava6lable but with its Iacation alang the setback on the creek ~ side it would prove difficu[t to make addi#ions to individuaf units. He addecE that staff had a Ietter from the Talisman saying its ok ta go #hrough the pracess, but that they do not authorize any plan or portion thereof and asked if it was the boards opinion that the Talisman needs to sign the application as an applicant? Jahn SchafieCd stated yes. He added that he would like to see how the traffic circuiatien will work on '41Jillow Drive. 5.

Gearge Ruther/Warren Gampbell John Schofield stated that the discussion today would focus on the addition to the Sonnenalp Hotel only with additional issues being discussed at a later meeting. George Ruther presented an overview of the staff memorandum. Qominic Maurie6lo presented an overview af the praject. He stated thai they wanted to focus the discussion on the hotel additian at the Sonnenalp. He highlighted the changes that have been made fram the last presentation, specifiically pointing out where the setbaeks have been increased. BiEI Amass, president of Talisman Homeowners Association, staxed that they have had ~ concems abaut setbacks from their property. He stated that it appears that it went higher than 48 ft. and closer than the drawings they originally approved. John 5chvfield stated that this application is con#ingent upon the Ta6isman's appravai as the appltcation will come in on behalf of both the 5annenalp and the Talisman. Mike Fcaster, architect with Resort Design Associates, stated that the builcCing has actually reduced in height, except for the architectural projection. W4!'ith regards to setbacks, he stated that a partion of the built6ing did get claser #o the TalESman property, but that the spa area has actually moved further fram the Talisman. John Schofield closed the public camment portian of the hearing. Gary Hartman stated that the massing of the building feels Eaet#er than Iast time and said his concerns are based on the Sun/Shade impact and how the pedes#rian walkway/arcade will work and wondered if the arcade could be broken up a little more. He said he would like #o see some site sections across Meadow Dr. to understand haw the pedestrian experience feels. Doug Cahill agreed with Gary a.nd also requested prafiles of how the building steps. He thought that beyond the first leveE, the building would step back dramaticafly and tne sunlshade impact would be reducecE. He further stated that the east/west alignment made sunfshade exiremely important. Ericksan Shirley agreed wi#h the concerns with the sunl5hade, the mass, and the pedestrian ~ experience. He voicect his coneern that in Beauer Creek, the pedestrian areas are aEways in the s'hade, which makes far a very cold environment and the pedestrian experience is impacted_ He also had concerns about views and ihat decks alang the street are popular, 3 Appr4vec! 1 0f28102 and it would be laeneficial to maintain these and statetl that it's a benefit to aCl no# to rnake the street toa cold. ~ Rallie Kjesba was pleasantly surprised to see the changes and asked if they had any contact with the VaiC Village Inn P'hase V. Daminic Mauriello talk.ed about the open houses ihey have had and the Iimited response fram the Vail Village Inn. Gearge Lamb reiterated his feflow Commissioners' comments. He encouraged the applicant ta continue workEng with the Planning and Enviranmental Comrnission. John Schofield requested #hat the appiicant provrde the exact setbacks on the pGans and in future presentations. He stated that they will need additional inforrnation regarding the 10°/a retail requirement and stated that there is a common advantage far both the Sannenafp and the Talisman to get together and make it work. He requested informatioR abaut thc garage and beIng impacted by the sewer fine. Mike Faster clarified the issues with the sewer line ancE said refocating it only picked up abaut 5 spaces, which wasn't economicaEly feasible. John Schaf+eld stated that they wvuld only see this praject again once the Urban Design Consu6tant was an board, and once the issues with the Talisrraan have been resalved.

Our overall eoncerns with the current proposal are as fo?lows: 1. The building as proposed will greatly increase the shadow on the street. It needs to be sharter, or set baek further from the street, or both (shorter in some areas, set back en others). As per the Urban Design Guidelines, it is acceptable, even ciesirable, to have sarne variety of "enclosure". That it, the building may narrow down the strcet brictly (to cven a l to 1 ratio) and then open up again. 2. The ground Icve1 north fagade clasely 1Snes the strrc[ edge.

Nat ihat the Sonncnalp necds to mirror the V'VI, but a greater stcpping back ancl forth af the ground 4eve1 faqade would add some relief to an othenvise fairty uniform plane. 1 Although it coulci be argued that the Talisman provides rzlief tQ the street, that is not gnaranteeci into the future. We have to assume that eventually the Talisman may redevelop and will request the same conditions as the Sannenalp was granted. 4.

ListEd below are the PEC's cam;nents, the applicant's response to those comments, and the staff's response. Please note that the attached staff memorandum dated December ld, 1930, is esentially the , same as was reviewed by the PEC at their November 26, i 1990 pubJ.ic heax-i.ng. There have been some ; iriodifications to the deveIopment plan and those modificatians are addressed anc3 hiqhliahted in bold type within the bodv af the memor_andum. - ~ SECTION 11. ANALYSIS ~ ~ 1. MEADOW DRIVE A. PEC Concerns - The PEC suggested that mare relief is needed alang the facade of the proposed building in the Meadow Drive area. They suggested that additianal design wark focus on the streetscape xnterface, and the connectian with the plazas of the Vail village Inn to the nox°th. Also, addztional public green space should be included in this area. The concern expressed by the most Commissianers regarded a need for a break in the facade. B. Ap-plicant! s Respanse - T'Addi.txonal relief is indicated and proposed along East Nieadow Drive as requested. This was accomplished .in amanner sima.].ar to - ' suggestions by the staff. See Sheets A0,• A8 and A16 for this revision. Aiso, a connectang plaza to the VVT is being propcsed as suggested: see Sheets A0, At7a and A8." C. Staff~Response - zn an attempt to break up the facade ~ ~ 1 ~ i . ~ I yrl,j3 3.~11 ~ • of the building alang East Meadow Drive, the appIicant has carried the cantilevered portion of the building ~ down to the ground at two locations. Ta accamplish this, it was required that addztiQnal calumns be placed approximately 6 feet further narth and closer to Meadaw Drive. This change was as requested by the Planning staff, however we feel that the applicant cauld have gone even further in the redesign to break up this facade. Mare relief an this elevation could be achieved by some variation in the use of materials, the arcade design, and landscaping. Each of these components are described in detail in the memo. Additional recoznmendations by the Planning staff incZuded adding dormers along the flat roof partion of the structure. The applicant was unwilZing ta include thzs as a part of the project. The applicant has praposed a pedestrian connection between their project and the WI to the north. We do have some concerns with regard ta the design of the paver connection between the two properties, hawever, the apglicant has indicated a wil?ingness to redesign this area, in conjunction with the on-goinq Village Streetseape Improvement Project. We support the concept far the plaza connection. 2. SWISS CHALET PARKING ~ A. PEC Cancerns - The FEC recommended that this surface parking area be removed and a plan to landscape and redesign this area inta a pedestrian plaza shau1d be ~ developed. Reference Vail Village Master Plan Sub-area Concepts. I B. Anplicant's Response -"As suggested, the surface i parking in this area has been remaved and a pocket park is being proposed. See Sheets Ao and AaQ far this canceptual revision." C. Staff kesnanse - We believe that it is extremely pasitive that the applicant has agreed to incorporate the 13 surface parking spaces adjacent to the Swiss Chalet into the prapased new Sonnenalp Hotel parking structure. The staff is very supportive a€ the _ agplicant's pocket park design, given that this is a conceDtual design at this phase of the pralect only. • Additi4nal work wauld be needed to determine exactly how this packet park relates ta the intersection of East Meadow Driva and Willow Bridge Road. This area will be studaed as a portian of the on-gaing Village Streetscape Imgrpvement Plan. ~ 2 3. VAIL ROAD TRAFFIC STUDY ~ A. FEC Camments - The issues reqarding traffic on Vail Raad should be finalixed (i.e., turn Zanes, width flf lanes, sidewalks, and landscaping), with the recommendation that the area be restudied at peak periods {Saturdays}. Additional survey inforrnation is needed fQr bath sides of Vail Road. In addxtian, a plan to mitigate the constructi,on traffic and park.ing on Vai,7. Road needs to be presented. B. Applicant's Response -"As agreed to in our I3ove?nber 29, 1990 meeting with the staff, the Town's ccansulting engineer will help arrive at a canelusion regardang this issue. If the complexity of the issue exceeds the time Arnie CTllevig can spend on it, additional studies will be provided by the applicant." C. Staff Response - The traffic study was farwarded to the Town's consultar?t, Axnie Ullevig, and Ull.eva.gYs report is included as an attachment to this memo. Generally, he recammended that a center l.ett turn lane be provided by the applicant. He firrnly stated that the lanes should not be substandard. His camments are discussed in detaa.l in the memo. As indieated in one of the Sub Area concepts of the ~ Vail VilTage Master Plan, txaffic along Vail Road is to be discouraged. Beeause the applicant's proposal raquires additional widening of Vail Road, we feel that mitigatian of this widening is necessary. The staff recomrrtends that shoule3 the PEC recammend aggroval of the Sonnenalp redeve3.opment, that the following canditian be placed upon said approual: That the applicant be required to construct twQ median pl,anters on Vai1 Road. Said planters would be located adjacent to the vail Gateway Plaza Building, up near the 4-way stap. The intent of ],ocating the median planters in this area is to discourage unneeessary uehicular traffic from entering onto Vail Road. It shauld alsa be reqtzired of the applicant that an addzti,onal median planter be located immediately south of Meadow Drive, on Vail Raad. This planter median would assist i.n the channeZization of traffic as it enters the left turn lane for the Sonnenalp. 4, FTRE DEPARTMENT CUNCERNS A. PEC Concerns - A11 concerns of the Fire Department need to be addressed. ~ 3 S. Applicant's Response -"We feel that the revised plans, ~ Sheets AO and A40, have addresse+3 this issue." C. Staff Resnonse - The applicant has met with members of the Fire negartment and as of the date vt this memorandum the Fire Department has signed of'f an the conceptual design for the Sonnenalp. Modifications have been made to the Talisman parki.ng and to the nesrtheast corner of the Sonnenalp prtiperty which would facilitate fire truck access. 5. SWINE411VG PC70L A. PEC Cancerns - The propasec3 swimming pool needs to be relocated out of the rear setback area. B. Applicant's Resnonse -"The swimming pool has been revised; see Sheet AOd. It has been pulled bac7t, but due to the swim-through location, a very small portion of the pool still encroaches znto the setback. Alsa, the whirlpools have heen relocated." C. 5taff Resronse - We believe that it is positive that the applicant has puiled a portion of the swimming poal out af the setback, however, we feel that the entire poai shauld be camplete3.y out af the rear setback area ~ and that the patio should also be Dulled Qut of the setback. We feel that there is adequate roam within the anteriar courtyard/garden area ta accdmmodate the swimming pool and assaciated patio. The staff feeJ.s that there is no justifi.cation for allowing any encraachments into the rear setback far the paal and patio. 6. I,DADING AND DELIVERY AREA A. PEC Concerns - This area should be restudied, as it was determined by the FEC that the propased loading dock was nat adequate to handle alJ loading for the facility. Access from this loading dock ta the Meadow Drive commerczal shops needs to be shawn that it is in fact feasable. B. Applicant's Resoanse -"The loading area has been restudied; see Sheet A2. For deZiveries to the ' commercial spaces, see Sheets A2 and A8, indicating two loading/deliwery Sp7.Ge5. C. Staff Response - The applicant's redesigm has included an additaonal loading berth at the southwest corner of the building, for a total at two loading berths zn this • 4 ~ area. It shauld be pointed aut that the prapased Iaading berths do not meet the minimum size requirements as autlined in the Tawn af vaal Municipal Code. The Town Code requires each loading berth to be a minimunt size of 12 feet wide, by 25 feet long. The appZicant's loading berths are apnroximately 8 feet wide, by 25 feet long. One additianal Ioading berth has also been added in the auta c4urt area. The intent of this Zoading berth is to accommodate UPS-sized vehicles for the retail cammercial spaces located alang East Meadow Drive. 7. VAIL RaAD/MEADOW DRIVE INTERSECTION ~ i A. PEC Comments - Additional green space should be I included on the site. The creation of a possihle pocket park should also be considered. B. A Iicartt's Res onse $"Additional green space has been I proposed as per yaur suggestion; see Sheets A0, A00 and A8, C. Staff Respnnse - Some additiona3 landscapi.ng has been added along Meadflw Drive, specifically in the area of the Vail Roari and Meadow Drive intsrseetion. While the ~ staff believes that this is a sten in the ri.ght direction, we feel strongly that additional work is needed vn the landscape plan. A more detailed landscape plan is needed ta specifically address the issues of planting along Vai1 Road and Meadow Drive in canjunction with the commercial spaca needed far visibility. Screening of the transformer vent needs to be resolved. 8. S'TREAMWALK A. PEC Comments - The Sonnenalp proposal should include a streaznwalk along Gare Creek for the length of the property. B. Apglicant's R,esponse -"This issue, as stated many times before, will not be a part of or included in this praposal. Due to the location (i.e., Town property) this should not be an issue. ~ C. Staff Response - As stated in our original memorandum on this projeet, the staff firmly believes that a streamwalk would be in the best interests of the Town. Because we believe that the streamwaTk could be constructed sensitive3y to the hatel, the staff ~ strangly feels that the applicant should incorparate 5 the streamwalk inta their proposed site plan. ~ 9. EMPLOYEE HQUSING A. PEC Comments - The applicant should restudy the employee hausing demand and should propase to meet the standards as outlined in the recently adopted "Empltiyee Hausing Report" af the Town Qf Vail. B. Applicant's ResPonse -"This shall be addrassed by Sannenalp Properties, xnc." C. Staff Response - A revised employee count has been provzded by the applicant, showing that 94 emplayees work at the Bavaria Hause. Staff has used this number with the same analysis done for the prevzous hearing. 10. TALTSim-AN ACCESS EASEMENT A. FEC Comments - The existing access easement fram the Talisman parkxng lot to East Meadow Drive should be vacated and an access agreement finalized with the Sonnenalp/Talisman. B. Applicant's Response -"This xssue shall be addressed by Sonnenalp Properties, Inc. and by the Talisman ~ Associatian." C. Staff Response - To date, no addit3onal information has been submitted by the applicant with regard to this zssue. We believe it is in the community's best interest ot insure that Meadow Drive is preserved as a pedestrian mail. It appears that bath the Sonnenalp and TaZisman have a verbal agreement to aalow the Talisman to access their property through the new parking structure as well as through an access point adjacent to the traffic gate on the east end of the mall. We reCommend that this verbal agreement be formalized and that it became a part of the praposal. This apgroach would make it possible to vacate an access easement far the Talisman that bisects the Meadow Drive gedestrian mall. This access easement was granted to the Talasman when the pedestrian mall was established to insure access to the property if acess was na langer allowed through the Sonnenalp property. , This is an opportunity to insure that Meadaw Drive wi11 remain a pedestrian mall and resolutian of this issue is necessary. 11. BUILDING HEIGHT A. PEC Comments - Some af the Commzssioners were cancerned ~ 6 ~ about the height of the building along vail Road, whale others were concerned about the height of the building along East Meadow Drive, thereby creating shade on the pedestrian area. General height concerns were raised by most Commissioners, B. AppIicant"s Response -"The roof height along Vail Road has been reduced per your suggestion. The exit access corridar that was in this roof area has been relocated. Due to this relocation, a lvckoff on the fifth floor will be eliminated and a unit an the fourth floar wi1l be relocated to the mezzanine Ievel." C. Staff ResDQnse - The applicant has been able to reduce the height of the building by approximately 6 feet far a partian of the building at the northwest elevation aZong Vail Road. In addition to this, the appZicant has raised the height af the tower at the Vail Road/Meadow Drive intersection by appraximately 2 feet. By raising the hezght of this tawer and lawering the portian af the buzlding that connects this tower ta the mazn building, we believe that the tower now functions rnore as a foca3 point than as previously submitted. General3y, the staff continues to have major concerns with the overall height, mass and bulk of the praposed structure. ~ SoNCOvrio . ~ 7 - DEC 7 '90 15:5I PAGE.002 F f LS B U R G H 0 L T & 0 U L I.

Further, the need for a left turn Zane is not sal.ely determined by absalute vclume.

General t?asiqrt Character'tstics Two basic aspects of the design cha.racteristics are discussed here: the crass-sectzan of vail Road, and the operating char- acteristics of the center ],eft turn lane.

It is recognized, hvwever, that these Wz.dths nay be d.ifficult to obtain due to existinq physical limztations.

Applicant. Sonnenalp Properties, Inc, 1. INTRODUCTION Changes to the Ncvembex 26, 1990 PEC memo are indicated in bold print. Johannes Faessler, of Sonnenalp Praperties, Inc, has filed a request to apply a Special Development District ta his property Zacated at 20 Vail Road. The applicant proposes a mixed use hotel complex. The reason the applicant is applying for an SaD is that varaations fram the Public Accommodation (PA) underlying zaning are needed for: ~ a 26 percent density increase, ~ a height varianee allowing SL feet where 48 feet is the maximum height, ~ setbacks (on all four sides), ~ the proposed loading berths do not meet the Town's requized minimuzn size of 121 x 261 an increase in the amount of accessory hotel floar area (234 of the GRFA where lQo ss aliowed), and " an increase in the amount of common area (854 af the GRFA where 20% is aZlvwed). Section III of this memo (Zoning Analysis) has a detailed comparison of the propvsed SDD to the Publac Accommodation zane district requirements, 22. DESCRIPTION OF REOUEST Listed below is a summary outline of the proposed redevelopment request: A.

In arder to avoid too much repetition of Staft comments, rae have tried to 3ist our comments under the mast anpropriate criteria ~ heading. This is not to imply that many af the comments do not relate to several headings or planning dacuments. Upon completion of the submittal recrairements, the following revi.ew criteria wi.ll be used to assess the merits of the Sonnenalp redevelapment: A. DesicLn_compatibilitv and sensitivity to the i.mmediate enviranment, neiqhborhood and adiacent properties relative to architectural desian, scale, bulk. buzl.ding height, buffer zones, identity, character, uisual integrity and orientatzon. Height: Staf:E strongly objects to the maximum height of 77 feet for the Vail Road building elevation and 81 feet for the elevatar tawer given the Vai3. ValIage context. The heights of the surrounding buildings are 47.5 far the Vazl Village Inn (vVI) ridge, 70 for the 'cTVI tower, and 20 for the ridge of the chapel. Thbugh the WT tQwer is tal.l, it is an architectural accent to the rest of the bui.lding. Its slender proportions are such that it is a tower. The "tower" abave the auta court is designed with propartions which make it appear quite massive (i.e. "a building") arrd should not be labeled as a tower. ~ Staff acknowledges that a certai.n number af raoms must be obtained in order to constx'uct a projec4 of this magnitude. However, the Vail Village Master Plan calls aut for a range of heights between 271 and 361, p3us a roof, on the southern portion of the site. The mass above the auta court and the elevatgr tower are proposed in thzs same area, at 45 to 50 feet above the limit recommended in the Master Plan. The applicant did respond to the heiqht zssue by lowesing the ridge between the Vail Road corner tower and the buil3ing above the auto court. The ridge was lowered 6t by removzng a hallway, reconfigurinq the staircases and relocating 4ne accommodation unit to the mezzanine level. At the request of the staff, the agplicant also raised the roaf of the tower at the Vail Road intersection by 21. The intent of this increase was to accentuate the tawer. Ey lowerinq the ridge line and raising the tower geak, the propartions of the building work much better. ' Along East Meadaw Drive, the Village PIan recommends heights of 18-27 feet plus a roof. Froposed heights in this area range from 49.5' to 591. The PA zane c?istrict alJ.ows for a maximum height of 48 ft. for slaping raafs. 5taff beli.eves that the Sonnenalp proposal needs tc, come ~ more into compliance with these recom-mended heights. It is positive that the heigh't vf the building along Vail Road has 4 been reduce, from the originally propos height of 102. feet, down to 77 feet. As mentioned in the two previous work session memos, height shauld terrace down to Vail Road ~ and East Meadow Drive to respect pedestrian areas as well as views from public areas. Character In staff's ana3ysis, a significant deviation from the character of the Village is the farmal, unbroken facade of the building along East Meadow Drive. The areade extends 165 feet with 1ittle relief, though there are a variety of dornter treatments in the narth facing roof. over the past two weeks, staff has wvrked on the Meadaw Drive problems with the applicant, tryzng ta break up the linear appearance of the arcade and roof line. The Town suggested that the applicant accentuate the existing large darmers ta break ug the mass of the elevation. The agplicant respcnded by "groundzng" these dormers; bringfnq the mass all the way to the ground. As a result, the arcade bends in and out from the buildinq where the dvrmers have been brought down. In staff's opiaxion there are several design changes which the applicant shauZd incltxde in the facade design to further break up the facade along Meadow Drive. staff requested that materials, such as rock and stone be used ta emphasize the changes in the plane of the building. Secandly, it was recommended that the applicant bring Iandscaping up to the base of the eiements to accentuate the differences fzom the ~ surrounding arcade and walkway. Thir'dly, it was suggested that the applicant change the shape of the first finor archway openings. Instead of the tripl.e radius arches used alang the entire Yength of the 165 foat arcade, different openings, similar to the bal.conies above, were suggested. This wauld have made the element tie in with the forms above anstead of the arches an either side. AJ.thaugh staff realized this would add slightly to the mass and bu].k, the benefit of bzeakinq up the long, syiametrical arcade and creatinq vitality and interest along Meadow Drive would have compensated far the increased mass. The ovezall intent of the staff's recomtnended changes was ta make some visually interesting breaks in'the arcade. Plaxas would also help accompiish this. The Village Master Plan calls foz twa "plazas with green space" alang this section of Meadow Drive. Tying both sides of the street tagether will be accomp3ished wi.th a plaza area, which the applicant has added to the plans over the past two weeks. The design of this plaza area wil.l be refined during the Village Streetscape Improvement Plan. The averall architectural style generally is of high quality. Hawever, the mass of the building is too ].arge in relation to the site and surrounding properties; the buildi,ng does not fit the scale of the Village. Mare relief fram the formal, ~ architectural style is still needed an Meadaw Drive. 5 B. Usest_activ__y and density which pravidL a compatible efficient and workable,relationship wath surraunding uses and activitV. Densitv, GRFA and Uses: ~ The proposal, though all lfldge rooms, will have a densitg 26; greater than the allowable. StafE supports the plan to have lodge rooms only, but is concerned that the density, in conjunctian with the height, is too much for the site. The applicant does comply with the GRFA limitatzan for the site; hawever, the GRFA calcuZatzon only counts the residentZal areas. The accessory uses exeeed the allowable by 13% and the common area exaeeds the allowable by 650. As a result, the mass of the praject is much larger than what the zoning code allows. (The specific breakdown af the accessory area and common area can be Pound in Section III. Briefly, what PA zanzng allows is 10o of GRFA for accessory and 200 for comman. What is propased is 23% and SSo, respectively.) It has been common for the staff to supgort increases in common area above the alZowable. In this case, the common area, in canjunctinn with the accessory use increase, is causing the buildang mass to become excessive. Cancerning uses, the mix of ladging, commercial and conference space is appropriate and supports the gaals af tha Vail village Master Plan. C. Combliance with narking and lpadzna reauirements as outlined in Cha ter 18.52. ParkinQ• All parking will be pravided on site. 58 spaces (28a) wilz be valet. 25 spaces (12%) wil2 be compact. A positive aspect of this proposal is that all the existing surface parking will be placed undergraund. There will he no surface parking except for five spaces in the auta caurt. The Town's parking analysis indicates that the redevelflpment wauld pravide a surplus of 16 parkzng spaces. The staff has strongly recommended that the 13 existing surface parking spaces for the Swiss Chalet (adjacent to Aillow Bridge Road) be incargarated into the new underground parking structure an$ that the surface spaces be remaved. The applicant has agzeed to this recommendation and the 13 surface parking spaces have been inGargorated into the garking structuze. A paeket pa=k has been designed for this area. As this is a specific goal of the Vail Village Master Plan, staff grovides more details an this issue in that section. . Loading: The Zaning Code requires three berths. Staff has ?aeen concerned that if Zoading spaces within the auto court were not specifically designated for laading, the deZivery trucks would try to use Meadow Drive or the area adjacent to the sauthwest carner of Crossroads for loading. ~ 6 The appZical._ has modified the leading _-y area and is naw , propaszng a total of three loading berths. Two bezths would be located at the soutbwest corner of the property and ons ~ berth would be Zocated in the auto aaurt. Hawever, the proposed loading herths do not meet the minimum size requirements of the Town's municipal code. The cade requires a minzmum size of 12' wide by 251 in Zength. The propased berths are approximately 81 wide by 251 in length. D. Conformity with.appTicabZe elements of the Vail Comurehensive Plan Town olieies and Urban Desi n Plans. Because of the many dafferent goals, paZicies, and illustxative plans that partain to this proposal, asegarate section of the memo discusses the compliance of the project i with the Vai3 Village Master Plan. The intention to maintain al3 of the units as accommodatian units fits weli with the Tawn policies. Any conversian of these Iodge roorns to condominium units in the future shouTd be prohibited. E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or qealQQic hazards that affect the property Qn which the sgec.ial ` development district is propased. The floodplain is the only hazard which could affect the site. The applieant is not proposing any canstruction in the 50 foot Gaxe Creek stream setback ar the floodplain. ~ F. Site plan, buildina desian and locatian and Qren sPace provisions desiqned to produce a funcLional developmpnt resnonsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic crualitY of the community. Site lo1an/Setbacks The building wi12 encroach into alZ setbacks. PA zoning requiras 20 foat setbacks on all sides of the property. The apgZieant has relocated the building ta meet the setback line in many cases, which is an improvement over previaus proposaZs but still has ten areas of eneroachment. The specifiG points of encroachment in each setback, starting ' with the compactor area on the southwest eorner of the site are: West ~ 1. The compactor area eneraaches 151-611 into the Vail Raad setback; 2. The new kitchen expansian and Bully Pub encroach 281-011 inta the Vail Road setback; 3. The rooms above the auto eourt entry encraach 121- ~ 0"' into the Vail Road setback; 4. The tawer on the corner of Meadaw Drive and Vail Raad encroaches 91-0" into the Vail Road setback and 81-0" inta the East Meadow Drive setback; 7 North The raaf over the commercial arcade encrcaches into the Meadow Drive setback 101-0+1; 6. The tower an the east end of the prQject ~ encroaches 13 '-0'" into the east side setlaack; East 7. The eastern most carner of the new hoteZ winq encraaches 181-01' into a setback abutting the Talisman szte; 5 outh 8. The swimmiag pooi/whirlpvcsl encraaches 7' -o11 into the rear setbaek. The patio arcund the swimining pool azea encroaches 191-01' into the setback; 9. The King Ludwig deck (above) and the conference rocam area (below) encroach 41-0" inta the rear setback; and 10. The 1oading/delivery area encroaches 2010" into the rear setback, creating a zero rear setback situation. The encroachment which corscerns staff the most is the one req:ired for the kitchen expansion and compactor area on the southwest corner of the property. Staff has wor}ted with the applicant in reducing the mass and bulk of the building on this corner as much as possible, but believes that it still has the most impact of alI the encraachments. Another encraachment of major cancern is the swimming pool/patia area. The Zoning Cade allows recreational amenities tfl encroach inta the setback if the Design Review ~ I Boa=d determines that the lacation is nnt de-trimental environmentally ar aestheticall.y. Staff believes that in this case, the Gare Creek corridar should be maintained as natural as possible to preserve its aesthetic appeal. Staff cioes nat support the poa]./patio in this location and would recommend that the pbolfpatio be pulled back aut of the setback. The two tower encroachments on either end of the bu3lding along Meadaw Drive are not prQblems in staff's opinion. Staff believes that undulating the building along Meadow Drive and allowing the towers to came out closer to the street gives more definition ta the public space and is a benefit. The VilZage Master Plan calls far plazas in twa Zacations on either side of the tower locations. Though the appliant a,s providing a g].aza, there is not enaugh undulation and variety to the Meadow Drive facade. . Natural Features The site is generally flat with Gare Cxeek running a3ong the south side of the groperty. Significant landscaping also exists along East Meadow Drive, in the center Qf the parking area, and adjacent to the Bully III deck. The applicant has taken advantage of the beauty af Gore Creek and has I.acated ~ the spa and garden a3.ong the creek. 5taff believes that adding astreamwalk along the creek wou3,d allow more guests in Vail to enjay this natural feature. 8 C. A circulati. . system designed for both nicles and pedestrians addressznq on and off-site traffic cizculation. ~ TalismanlSonnenalip Coordination: ~ Coordination between the proposed Sonnenalp SDD and the - existing Talisman Condominiums is necessary. Staff encourages the two owners to wark together an access, landscaping, and parking far the twa projects in a comprehensive manner. The Town Fire Department has naw apgroved the design of the Sonnenalp redevelopment, with specific reference ta emerqency vehicle access ta both the Sonnenalp and the Talisman properties. Traffic: This will be discussed in the section of the memo dealing with the Environmental Impact Repart. Pedestrians• The design of the praject has provided some impravements far pedestrians. The applicants wzll praviae a sidewalk along Vail road from the corner of Meadow Drive to Gore Creek. At that point, they will canstruet a gedestrian bridge over tfie creek so that pedestrians can continue to walk south of the ! creek. Staff supports the idea cf the pedestrian bridge; i however, at this time, we do nat have sDecific design i drawings of the proposal. Along East Meadow Drive, the ~ design couTd be imgroved for pedestrians by pr4viding a stronger interface between the pedestri-an street and the store fronts. What is also missing fro-ii the project is the streamwalk. ~ ! H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and apen sAace in arder ' ta o timize and reserve natural features recreation views and functions. The proposal has provided an optimal garden area in the center and s4uth side of the site. Though this is good preservation af open space, it is Zimited to the hatel guests. The hotel has been designed so that the building is located close to Vazl Raad and Meadow Drive. By not providing apen space west or north af the buzlding, the public does not benefit from the open space on-site. staft recammends that the applieant create a plazajplanting area acrass from WI, ta provide same public open space. This has been discussed during the review process since it is ealled out for in the open space plan of the Vail village Master Plan. Not anly would it provide some apen space an the site which the pubZic would benefit from, it wauld break up the hard line of the Meadow Drive facade. It would also ~ a1Zow for a concentratian af landscaping, and wouZd create a spaGe where the WI, the 54nnenalp, and the pedestrian way are brought together. The applicant has redesigned this area and has included a pedestrian connectian/plaza as 9 recommended ~ the staff. Final detazl__of this plaza will be coordanated with the on-going Village Stzeetscape Improvement PZan. ~ Y. Phasina glan or subdivision plan that will maintain a warkable, functional and efficient relationship throuqhut the devela -ment of the s ecial develonment district. See discussian under the EIR analysis. J. Outstandin concerns from other denartments; i 1. Fire Department: - The applicant has received cnnceptual apprvval of the Fire Department, however, same landscaping will be Iast (at the northeast carner of the site) due ta the Fire Degartment's required access. The proposed Iandscape plan must be amended to reflect this change. 2. Public Warks: A minimum szdewalk width of 6 feet, on Vail Road, will be required for the full length af the ` project. ~ Drainage impravements along Vail Road and East Meadow Drive will be needed. 3, Landscape Architect: ` The streaan walk shou3.d be shown on the site plan. " The applicant will need to suhmit a revised landscaping plan if praposed changes to Vail Road are appraved. ' Maintena.nce af landscaped areas anc3 sidewalks shall be the owner's respansibzlity. " The conceptual landscape pTan appears to be acceptable. A detailed plantzng and irrigation plan should be submitted for review. 10 ~ V. VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PL,AN ~ In general, the staff believes that the 5onnenalp project should e be much more responsive to the Vail Village Mastez Plan. The previous two wark session memos l.isted many areas where the proj ect could comply more close].y with the Vzllage Plan. Sn most cases, the previaus staft comments apply to the revised proposal since the appiicartt has failed tQ address the concepts of" the plan. Statf believes that cne of the most important parts of the Master Plan is the conceptual building height diagram. The portian of that plan which includes the Sonnenaip project is shown below. The carner treatmer.t foz Vazl Road and Meadow Drive should be 2-3 stor?es, The rest of the site is cal.led out at 3-4 storaes. The project severe?y deviates from the Master Plan as it is 4 stories an the corrter and rises ub ta 6 stories abcve the auto court.

Staff Resmonse• The diagrams in the Master Plan shaw the area aiscussed xn the paragraph above and the area along Wi31aw Bridge Road blending into one another. The applicant has expressed an interest in removing the parking that exists there now and converting the space into a pedestri.an area. The parking garage that wi11, be built in this proposal has 16 extra spaces. There are 13 spaces in tront af the Swiss Chalet. Because the applicant is proDOSing to consolidate the ! frant c:esks for these two buildings, the parking can be ~ located in the garage of the main building. Staff had ' recamanended that the apglicant redesign the space and aonvert it inta a pedestrian area accordinq ta the Master Plan. The applicant has n4w redesigned this 14 ~ area and has removed the 13 surface parking spaces. A ~ . pocket park is now propQSed for this sectiQn of the pzoperty, as previously discussed in Sectiaa IV,H af this memo.

Expandinc the existinq papular ~ recreatianal amenity a.s worth*ahile, especially since staff believes it can be designed in a way that is sensitive to the hQtel praposal. Benching a walJtway down near the stream appears to be feasible. Additional landscaping is another way to buffer the walk from the hotel's garden area. Develabir.g pedestrian=only walkways and strzam access fulfills Objective 3.4 of the Mastex' P].an, which reinforces the goal of this sub-area. Because a streamwalk is an effecta.ve way to provide a natural experience within the Vi3lager ar.d because it cauld be built sensitively to the hatel, staff believes-the applicant shou3d incorporate it inta the site plan. F. Emphasized Gaa3s & Folicies He?aw is a list of the specific abjectives 4t the Master Plan. With the excep`ions of the objectives dealing with emtiloyee housing and the streamwalk, the proposal generally f meets the list beiow. Staff believes that the praject's primary pQSitive aspects include its provisian of accammodata.an units, the parking plan, the pedestzian bridge and the fact that this is a gaod site far a mixed use redeuelopment. 16 40 ~ 1. 2 Ob1ect i_v_e : Encourage the upgrading and redeve].opment of . residential and eommercial faei3ities. 1.3 Oblective • Enhance new development and redevelapment thraugh pubZic impravements done by private develapers working in cooperation with the fiawn, 2.3 Objective• Increase the numbar of residential units available far shart term overnight accommodations. 2.4 Oblective: Encaurage the development of a variety of new cotnmercial activity where compatible with existing J.and uses. 2.5 Obtective• Encaurage the continued upgrading, renavation and znaintenance af existing ladging and commercial facilities ta better serve the needs of aur guests. 2.6 Obiective: Encaurage the develapment of affordable housing ~ units through the effarts af the private sectar. 3.1 Obiectiue: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by landscaping and dther impravements. 3.4 Oblective: Develop additional sidewalks, pedestaria:n-only walkways and accessible green space axeas, including pocket parks and stream access. 4.1 Oblective: Improve existing ogen space areas and create new plazas with green space and pocket parks.

Tllustrative Plans, 1. Land Usa Plan: a, North side of Sonnenal site "Mixed Use." This category includes the "historic" Vil3aqe core and properties near the pedestrianized streets of the Village. Lodging, retail and a limited amaunt of affzce use are found in this category. With nearly 270,400 square feet of retail space and approximateiy 320 residential units, the mixed use character of these areas is a majar factar in the appeal of Vail Village. 5taff ResDonse: Since the proposal is mixed use, it fits well with this Master Plan illustratian. b. Sauth side of Sonnenalp site, "MediumfHigh Density Residential and Mixed Use." Medium/Hiah Density The overwhelming majority of the Village's lodge rooms and cQndominium units are lacated in this land use category. APpraxinately 1,100 units have ~ been developed an the 27 acres of private land in this category. In addition, another 1I0 units are appraved but unbuilt. It is a goal of this Plan to maintain these areas as predominantly lodging oriented with retaiZ development limited to small amounts of "accessary retail." - Mixed Use (along Meadaw Drive and Willnw Road) This category includes the °fhistoric" Village eore and propertias near the pedestrianized streets of the VilIage. Lodging, retail and limited amount of office use are found in thzs category. Wzth neariy 270,000 square feet of retazl space and approximately 320 residential units, the mixed use character of these areas is a majar factor in the appeal of Vail Village. . Staff Res-ponseR The project complies with the types at uses caJ.led far in the I1lustrative Land iJse Plan. An all lodge roam redevelcspment, with support commercial, is a very positive land use type for this site. ~ 18 ~ 2. Open Space Plan; a. "Planted Buffer" is designated an north and west side of site. b. "Flaza with azeen space?! is designated on north side of property connecting to the Vail Village Inn and on eastern praperty adjacent to Swiss Chalet and VVI sculpture plaza. c. "Oben Spaee" is designated along entire stream corridor. Staff Res onse; The proposal does not provide a"Plaza with green space". Though a plaza at this loeatian would benefit the area by; ~ Tying in with the WI buildings, r redueing the shadow cast by the structure, and ' providing some public open space. At this time, these goals are not addressed i-n a camprehensive way, ~ 3. Parking and Circulation PZan: a. East Meadow Drive is designat-ed as a pedestrian street with plazas, Zimited or no autos and a bus raute. The Gore Creek corxidor zs designated as a study area for a walking path. Staff Respvnse: East Meadow wi12 continue ta be apedestrian corridor; hewever, the propasal does not include a straam walk. 4. Building Height Plan: a. The area along East Meadow Drive is recommended to be a maximum af two to thrae stories or l8 ta 27 ft. high. Three to faur stories (27 ft to 35 ft.) is designated on the southern three quarters of the property. All heights exclude raof forms. ' Staff Response., As this is one of the most impartant companents af the Master Plan, staff discussed this item in the first section of the memo on page four. ~ 19 Vi. EIR ANALYSIS ~ A. Hvdralogic Conditians The applicant will be altering the existing drainage along Vail Road significantly. Currently there is a rock lined ditch that conveys the water to Gore Creek. Curb and gutter will be installed. All drainage improvements must meet Town of Vail standards and will be reviewed for campliance at time of building permit. Drainage from the parking structure will be drained to the sanitary sewer. Details far the parking stxucture drainage have not been put tflgether at this time. Staff recommends that the best possible paZlution eontrol devices, including grease traps and sediment traps, should be installed in the drainage system. ' The one area of concern that the Town has regarding drainage xs how it will be handled during constructian of the project. Dewatering any excavation pits intQ Gore Creek could negativeIy imgact the creek unless the sediment is removed. The Enviranmental Impact Report campleted by the applicant commits the applicant to undertake erosion and dewatering control ~ measures accerding to the best available practices to ensure that the creek impacts are minimized. S. Atmosgheric Conditions The three ways this projecfi wi3l impact air quality are through fireplaees, dust contro3, and automobile trips ta the site. Concerning fixeplaces, all units xn the hotel are propased to have gas burning fireplaces. The air emissions from these gas burning appliances will be negligible. There are four existing woad burning fireplaces in the hotel which will remain. Dust is an impact that is generated from the canstruction process and through the sanding of the existing parking lat. During construction, the applicant (in the EIR)'commits to undertake ' effdrts td cantrol the dust. By lacating the parking underground and eliminating the need for sanding, air qa.ality will be impr4ved. The last possible impact is from automobile trigs. ~ With 54 additicnal accommadatian units, less 10 20 ~ dweZling units, there will be additional trips to the site. Staff believes that this is a reasonable incxease and that further documentation is not needed. The hotel's mini-van service combines trips that soma guests might otherwise make individually in their own cars. Given the henefit of gas applianee fireplaces, ~ eliminating the sanding in the winter from the ~ parking lot, the negative impact af the additional ` trips is offset. C. Geoioqic and Biotic Canditions The proposal does not ehange the impacts relating ta geolagic and biatic conditions. D. Visual Conditions The applicant has used seven photographs taken of the Vi11agE to show haw the proposal will relate t4 surraunding structures. The buzlding aut1ine has been shown in tape. ~ Concerning the view looking east on West Meadpw Drive (#I), the EIR consultant claims that feEa people wi11 view the Sonnena3p fram this point since foot traffic is minimal in the area. Staff strongly disagrees with this analysis. Since Meadow Drive is a bus and gedestrian route linking the Village to Lionshead, staff believes this view will be highly naticeable. ~ i Al1 of the views of the building from paints zn ; the Village show that the ski slopes, the mauntain, and the sky will be blocked. (3,5,6 and 7) The view east fram the First Bank and chapel area wi11 be completely blocked. (#5) The views from the four way stap ('It2 and 4) show that the building will not exceed the highest ridge of Vail Mountain, as it will from the vantage points in the Village. This is because the elevation of the faur way stop is higher than the site of the grQject. Staff realizes that some ' view impacts are xnevitable if the project is redeveloped. However, we believe the building as proposed has severe view impacts which axe nat supportable given the scale af the surrQUnding areas. ~ 21 I E. Land Use Conditians ~ ~ The uses proposed are cvmpatible with those around the site. This issue has been analyzed i.n the SDD and Vail Village Master Plan sectzons of the mema. F. CircuZatzon and Tzans artatYOn conditions The traffic study, done by Leigh, Scott and C3.eary, Ync., concTuded that the capacity of the surraunding road network can generally handle the traffic generated by the project. The only street impravement recommended was to pravide three lanes in Vai2 Road's existing alignment. The rsew lane is for a left turn lane into the praject. The original study reccammended that the three lanes be provided with substandard lane widths so that the street wauld not have to be widened. other significant findings from the study inc3ude: ' At full occupancy, the proposed project can be expected to add approximately 175 entering and 175 exiting weekday vehicle trips to tha surraunding roadway syster.s. Of these, 14 will enter and 12 will exit during the ~ evening peak-hour. ' The greatest concentration of projeet- generated traffi.c is expected along Vai.l. Road ; to and fx'om the north. Ninety-three percent of the additional traffic wi11 pass though the four way stap. ' The traffic impaet of the proposed projeet on existing and future peak season traffic will be minimal. The first traffic study, dated October 4, 1990, was campleted based on national averages of trip generation and staff believes does not accurately reflect Vail traffic patterns. (See attached report.) The applicant and the Town did independent studa.es of the par3cing demand for the existing hotel which showed that the supply exceeds the demand. Because of this informati.an • and the general agreement an this issue between the staff and the applicant, a revised traffie study was submitted. The issue which needed clarification was the requarement for a center lane to allQw left turns ~ 22 ~ intQ the auto court. The first study, based an ~ national standards, deterinined that it was needed, I but that substandard lanes wou1d suffice. Since ~ it is nat reasanable for the Town to accept substandard lanes Qn one of the busiest roads in the Town, the second study dated November 15, 1990, based on local standards, was intended to i cZarify the issue and determine what the new ! project would require. A majar f3aw of the seeond study is found in the conclusian. The consultants state that "if roadway widening is required in oarder to [provide three Ianes], the resultant expenditures are nat justified, and we wauld recQmmend that the operatian of Vail Road remain as atwo-lane - design." Staff discussed the study with the engineer who prepared it and faund that he had na documentation of the cost which "is ncst justified.r" Staff does not concur that the cast/benefit anaZysis referred to in the I conclusion is an appropriate rneans ta determine what improvements the applicant is responsible for. This is especial3y true when the cast, at ; the time the repart was written, was unknown ta ~ ~ the cflnsultants. I More importantZy is the fact that a requarement to ~ build the middle lane must be determined by the amount of demand generated by the new project. If the Sonneztalp generates the demand, they must mitigate the impact. Cost should not be a gactor in this decision. The applicant has cQmmitted ta place curb and gutter at the edge of the street for the full Iength of Vai1. Road. The Tflwn's traffic engineering cansultant, Aznie Ullevig, reviewed the traffic studies and concluded that three lanes is the better alternatiye because of the high number of left turn mavements at peak demand (45 turns per hour at 4:00 P.M.) and the potential for traffic congestion to warsen without the left turn lane. In his review, he also said that the left turn lane sh4uld extend oniy to the auta caurt and that a median sauth of Meadow Drive would be helpfu4 for traffic fiow. A related issue ta this is the need for accurate survey information. Setting the edge of pavement must be based on aceurate infnrmation. The architecturaZ dz-awings submitted by the applicant shaw the propased crarb eight feet from where it ~ should have been, according to Town recards. The 23 app3icant's solutian was to merely shift all of ~ Vail Road approximately eight feet to the west. This shift must be verified with survey information showinq bath sides of Vail Road prior to any improvements being approved so that staff ; can verify that there are no impacts to the First ~ Bank Building. G. Pogulation Characteristics The Sonnenalp currently emplays approximately 270 employees during the winter season. The propased redevelopment would add appraximately 26 new employees pex the EIR. Ten of these employees will be needed for housekeeping, a houseman, laundry sei^vice, and general hatel staffing. The cansultants preparing the ETR assumed that 16 employees are enough to staff the additional commercial area. The applicant is assuming that no additional employees will be needed for the 4004 square feet of new conference area or far the 4700 square feet af new restaurant azea. The applicant claims that the conference area requires the same staffing, regardless of size. Concerning the restaurant, the applicant has stated that he wiil use tha existing Sonnenalp Austria Hause ~ restaurant staff to serve the expanded Bavaria Hause area. (The Austria House is by the Covered Bxidge, the Bavaria House is the ane under ~ consideration.) The Austria House restaurant will shut down when the Bavaria House restaurants are open. The additianal 26 employees will increase the total numbex' to 296. O€ the total, the apglicant states that 94 employees wnr3e at the Bavarza Haus. The Sonnenalp currently provides houszng for apprrximately 145 emplayees. 33 units are owned by the Sannenalp, hausing 67 employees and 20 units are rented by the Sonnenalp, hausing 78 eznployees. This assumes that each bedraom houses two Sonnenalp employees. ~ No additi.anal employee housing is proposed by the Sonnenalp for the redevelopment, though statements • in the EIR acknowledge that the housing goals of the Sonnenalp are not being met. Hawever, staff believes that a redeveJ.oprnent af this magnitude should have some permanent employee housing. The material in the EIR states that 11hausing is of potential concern ta both the Sonnenalp and the ~ 24 ~ Tawn." Staff needs to clarify this paint and state that significant resources have already been invested by the Town to address this issue. With the adoption of the Town of Vazl AffordabZe Housing Study on November 20, 1990, it is no ' Zonger a potential concern but is an zssue that must be addressed fomally. At this time, the report has been adapted and provides guideline for new development. At a Iater date, the report's recQmmendatians will be ineorporated into the Zoning Code. In addition, the Land Use Plan calls for employee housing by stating: 5.3 - "Affordable employee hausing should be made available thraugh private efforts, assisted by limited incantives, provided by the Town af Vail, with appropriate restrictions." It shauld alsa be mentianed tnat most SDD's in the past have provided some number of employee housing units within the prapasal. Usinq the recommendations fram the Affordable ~ Housing Study, staff determined the amaunt of housing which should be deed restrxcted using two calculations. Far {'by-right" projects, hausing for ls% of the employees should be provided. For those prajects with clensity increases, 15% 30°s of the employees should have housing provided by the employer. I For example., the redevelapment will require an addi.tional 26 employees. Sinee a density increase is needed fQr the expansion, the 30% multiplier is used: 26 empldyees x .30 = 7.8 Assuming that two employees will share a dwelling unit, the 7.8 is divided by 2, resulting a requirement for 4 dwelling units. Or, 26 employees x.16 = 4.16 or 2 dwelling units. ' Staff believes that it is also appropriate to revsew the over al], demand an housi,ng that the projeet will generate: Given that the existing aperation reqaires 94 empZoyees, and meets ~ density limits, staff believes that housing should 25 be provided for these employees by using the 15o ~ muZtiplier. 94 employees x .15 = 14.1 40.5 aiviaea by 2 equazs 7.05 By cambi.ning the "by-right" demand with that generated by the density increase, a mini,murn of 7 ; of the Sannenalp's existincr emplayee units should j be permanent].y deed restricted and at least four new employee units shauld be required for the density and retail abdve the allowabZe. This xasu].ts in a tatal of 11 ernplayee restricted units. Staffrs calculations do not inelude any additional enpl4yees for the 470(] square feet of new restaurant area. Because this does not seem piausib3e, staff needs mare information about this area before an accurate hausing demand can be done. H. Phasinct The canstruction will ta}ce place in three phases. ~ Phase I includes the paxking structure and elevator care. Mass excawation and sharing is i pl.anned to begin May 1, 1991. The parking garage is planned ta be completed Yay September 13, 3991. The kitchen addition will be completed Octaber 15, 1991. Phase xI ac'tivity includes the new hotel tawer and the north wing with planned occupancy far December I 10, 1992. Phase III work i.ncludes the spa building, meeting rooms and the remadel to the existing hatel which will begin May 1, 1992. The existing east wing of the hotel will be demolished between May 1, 1992 and June 5, 1992. At this time, the applicant propases to bui.ld a paved road around the existing loading dock (southwest carner of site) for trucks to use during the dernolition of the existing east wing. Staff is concerned about the impacts to the creek, " and helieves that another raute can be found to haul the debris away from the site. The secand concern of staff is the parking for the construction workers. As the Tflwn has seen with the construction of the parking structure and ~ 26 Gateway, major prajects require many employees and ~ vehicles. We would like to see a plan explaining where the construction workers will park. The applicant, in the EIR, has said that partiaZ closures of Vail Road will be needed. The Town understands that the raad will never be completely clased. In addition, the Town understands that all deliveries ta the site wilZ occur from the Talisman access road ar Vail Road but will not take place via Meadow Drive. VII. LAND IISE PLAN The Land Use Flan xefers ta the Vail Village Master FYan for reviewing any requests fQr redevelopment in this area. VIII. CC}NCLIJSION Althauqh the project has pasitive aspects such as the lodge use, underground parking, sidewaIks, and a pedestrian bridge, staff recomme.nds denial of the project for many reasons. Using the SDD criteria, staff finds severe noncompliance wi,th Criteria .A: ~ design campatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment. The hexght, at 81 feet, exceeds the 48 foat limit beyand what is compatible with the surroundinq area. The mass of the bui.Iding, exceeds the allowed aecessory area and cammon area by 53,932 seruare feet. This squ.axe faotage as indicated }ay the height, satbacks, minxmal public spaces and shadow patterns, is too much £ar the site. Cxiterza D, conforma.ty with applicable elements of the . Vail Gomprehensive PAan, Town policies and urban design plans, has not been met. Several plans and i1lustrations from the Vail Village Master Plan haue not been addressed. Specifically, the open space plan with plazas, the building height plan, the shade and shadow issues, and the streamwalk have nat been addxessed adequately. Criteria F, regarding the site pl.an, has not been met in that the concepts for the site plan results in a . building layout that ].acks quality public spaces. Staff does not agree that the resulting site plan, N reserving most of the open space on the site far hotel guests, is the best design for the commun3ty, ~ Criteria G, regarding a circulation system designed 27 ~ for pedestrians and automobiles, has not been met, ~ either. Additional survey information is needed to fulZy address and to aceurately locate the propased impravements. The twa issues discussed first are the fundamental grobiems with the project; however, there are numerous others which must be resolved priar to approval, as identified in the main boay of the memorandum. The applicant has been aware of the Town's concerns, in most cases, sxnce the original PEC work session. Staff believes that until alZ autstanding issues are resolved, the groject shauld not be approved. Staff asks that the applicant address the Town's issues more thoraughly. We believe the project has merit but additional design changes are necessary before the staff could support and recorrcmend appravaZ of the _ project. ~ ~ 28 , .

Interfaith Chapel, regarding the rezoning of the Sonnenalp Hotel. The Vai,I Ftelig'iaus Foundation is stroragly oppased tQ the rezoning request which is before the Town of Vail and to the redevelapment plan whi.ch is associated with that rezaning request. The application has n4 relationship to present zoning, the Town Master Plan ar the guidelines which affect the property in question. It is apparent that the owners of the sonnenalp Hotel gurchased a prvperty which was half trie size they wanted, but the lack of planning on the part of the property owners serves as a justificatxon neither for the rezaning which they request ar for the wholesale waiver of zoning limitations c,rhich is the crux of the reqxest now hefore the Town of Vail, The FQUndation begins with the premise that the zoning which applies to the Sonnenalp Hotel and the surroundi.ng properties was applied for a reasan. In the apinian of the Foundation, that reason was to provide some degree of certainty regarding what wouid be develaped on the land, and, when redevelapment was necessary, a reasonable degre.e of assurance regarding what would be deveZoped when existing structures became obsolate ar, for any reasan, required demoZition and replacement. Unfortunately, the Special Development Districts 19 Vaff Ft,vad • Valf, Colcxodo 81657 ~ permitted under the Municipal Code of the Tow+n of Vail can be used to frustrate and t? circumvent the purposes and protections created by good zaning practice. That is exactly what is occurring in the case of the Sonnenalp application. The present vwners of the SonnenaZp Hotel knew what they were receiving when they purchased the progerty. There existed at the time of their purchase, and there naw exist, limitatiQns on that property which insure that its use wzll be, to some extent, consistent with the surrounding propertaes. The purposes of 5pecial Development Districts are clearly listed in Section 18.40.10, and need not be repeated verbatzm in this lettex. It is sufficient to note that the goals of gromoting the appropriate use of land, improving the design character and quality of new development, facilitating the adequate and eeonomical pravision of streets and utilities, preserving apen sgace azeas, and furthering the overall goals of the community may all be accomplished within the framewark of the Public Accommodations Zone District in which the sonnenalp hotel is presentZy located. What cannat be accomplished within that zane district are increases in building height, density, and accessory and camman area GRFA, and the elimination of setbacks which are being requested by the present awners of the Sonnenalp Hotel. The recNest might generously be interpreted as an attempt ta abtain blanket vaxiances where no basis exists to obtain any variances whatsoever. ~ As to the merits of the application, it is inconceivable that an eighty-faot residential structure sticJcing up in th.e midc3le of Vail could do anything to enhance the attractiveness of the Town of Vail. The Town of VaiI has been able to preserve, to some extent, the atmnsghere of an alpine village through the zoning which is fundamental to its Iand use planning. It shouid be the gaal, if there is such a goal., to rem3nd the visitQr 4f Znterlaken or Garmi.sh, not Zurich or Munich. TQ permit the intensity of develapment which is requested by the Sonnenalp wou].d be incansistent with the goals which the Vail Religious Foundation believes tq be those of the Town of Vail and the residents of the Tawn. Thase goal5 may not necessarily be those of develapers who purchase property governed by reasonable and agpropriate limitations and then attempt ta create appreciation of their investment by requesting special rights which violate the expectations if nrat the rights of the residents and the guests whcr are impacted by the propased develapment. With regulari.ty, and particu].arly during the winter , seasdn, the Interfaith Chapel is troubled by the use of its limited garking faciliti,es by the empZayees of the Sonnenalp Hatel and those individuals using the Sonnenalp restaurant facilities. Despite zequests made of Sannenalp management and the pasitioning of the sigrsage required by the Town of Vail to limit unautharized parking, that use cantinues on a daily basis. If the development ~ proposed by the Sonnenalp were to be permitter3, that unauthorized use of the Chapel 's parki.ng facilities would be aggravated by that fact that the Sonnena].p parking which now is reasonably visible wouZd be less visible and less aCCeSSlble, and a greater number of ~ individuals wha use the Sonnenalp facilities would use the Chapel's limited parking. The visual impact of the Sonnenalp project on the Tnterfaith Chape2 and its envirans would be dramatie and undesirable. Where the Town of Vail nQw has a foeal paint which, for many years, has heen identifiable to the Tawn's residents and visitors, the visibility of the Chapel would be dramatically decreased. The Foundation suggests that the many postcards of the Chapel indicate its importance to the image of the Town of Vail. The Sonnenalp Hotel, currently an attractive facility consistent with the Town's image, would be no greater asset to the Town's image were the redevelopment plan approved. In fact, because of the mass and impact of the grogased redevelopment, it wauld almost certainly be an edifice to avoid, and a blight on the views of the Gore Range and VaiT Mountain which peaple identify with the Tawn of Vail. Even the existing loading dock aperated by the Sonnenalp Hate3 creates groblems in the opexation of the Interfaith Chapel. That facility, across Vail Road from the Chapel, is far frcam an attractive feature of one of Vaxl's central streets, and the one j which bears the Town's name. A proposal which doubles the number of rooms in the facility must bri.ng caith it the reeognition that the use of the 1.oadi.ng bay(s) wiJ.l incraase dramatically. That use will further dzsrupt the services and functions conducted at the ~ Chapel and will detract fz'am the appearance, not anly of the Chapel, but of the street as a whole. Even under present circumstances, deZivery vehicles must deal with the pedestrian and vehicular traffic on Vail Raad in a manner which is inconsistent with safe practice. An aqgravation of this prablem should not be permitted. Beyond the deficiencies in the groposed project on its merits, there are also operational problems with the Gonstruction of the project. If the set-backs are to be waived, as requested, or significantly reduced, the work on the prraject must be conducted in the public right-of-way. This project is not one which woul.d be accomgTished during a single constructian season. Not only the Chapel, but the Town as a whole would suffer for several construction seascsns with tzaffic dzsruption, noise and a scar on the village. The functions of the Chapel, which oceur on every day of the week, wouZd be disrupted by the nQise and the eanstruction activity, including but nat limited to vehicular traffic. , The Vail Religious Foundation appreciates the exi.stence and the quality of serviees offered by the SonnenaTp Hotel. This letter is written only after considerable discussion regarding the merits and demerits of the proposed redevelopmerat pl,an. it is, however, written upan the unanirnous vate and authority of the ten members of the VaiZ Religious Foundatian who considered the ~ j question. It is alsa written with the conviction that the appraval q of the plan would be a serious problem for the Vail. Ynterfaith ~ o those who use the zility, and ta the thousai,ds of ~ have seen, and expect in the future to see, an it in VaiZ which rsflects some regard for the visual and Lcal eacperience of thase whd seek relief, recreatian and aring their visits in our community.

Kristan Pritz explained how the presentation would proceed. Mike Mollica reviewed the changes highlzghted in the memcr. Mike pointed out that the applicant had aqreed to incorparate the 13 surface parking spaces near the Swiss Chalet into the parking structure and prcaposed a pocket park design where the surface parking had been. Regarding a traffic study for Vail Road, Mike stated that the j applicant did nat want tb do another traffic study. He added that ~ Arnie Ullevig, Town of Vail Transportation consultant, was in general agreement with the study, but that additional survey work was needed. Due to the widening of Vail Raad to acconnmadate the ~ Sannenalp's additional traffic load, the staff was suggesting that 3 sarne mitigation was needed in the faxm af planted medians, two of ~ which wauld be near the Gateway Building to break up the vicw down Vai.l Road and discourage additional traffic. Mike added that the Gateway project had pulled their sidewalk back t4 accommodate the rnedians. According ta the traffic study, the Sonnenalp is required to have a left turn 1ane, and thus the staff felt a media.n was needed in this area. A survey zs still needed to see how the rnedians will tit. Kristan pointed out that the parking at the bank needed to ~ xemain. ~ Regarding Fire i7epartment eoncerns, Mike stated that thE applicant had met with the Fire Department and the Fire Department had signed off on the cor,ceptual desigrt. Modifications had been tnade to the 'E Talisman parking and to the northeast corner af the Sannenalp property which would facilitat~ fire txucle access. A portion of the swiznmi.ng poal had been pull.ed back aut of the rear setback, but the staff felt that the entire poQl shoul.d be campletely out of the rear setback area and that the deck should also be pulled out of the setback. Mike then explained that a third loading space had been provided, but that all the spaces were 4 feet narrower than the re,quired width. The applicant felt that these spaces were wide enough for the type of trucks used far Sonnenalp deliveries, Connie Kna.ght arrived at this poi.nt. ~ ~ Andy Knudtsen continued the descriptian of items of staff and PEC concern, beginning with a deseription ot additional landscaping being added to the intersectiQn of Meadow Drive and Vail Raad, and also along Vail Raad, The staff f'elt that mare landscaping was sti11 needed. Andy said that the applicant had nat included the streamwalk in I his proposal, but the staff still felt that the streamwalk shouTd be incorporated into the praposed plan. Regarding empioyee hausing, the sta£f felt that a minimum of 7 of the Sonnenalp's existing employee units,should be permanently deed restricted and at' leas-t -4 new ernpToyee" `units should be required. This calculatian did not include additional employees for the 4700 square feet of new restaurant area. (More information was needed on this area,) The Talisman access easement issue still had not been finaJ.ized. Concerning the height of the buiLding, the applicant had reduced the height of the building by appraximately 6 feet for a portion of the building at the narthwest elevatzan along Vail Raad. Andy showed the changes on elevation drawings which ineluded an addition ~ ~ ~ 4 ~I of 2 feet to the height of the corner tawer and a lawered portion ~ that conneets the tawer to the rest of the building. Aithough the tower then functioned more as a focal paint, the staff continued to have major concerns with the averall height, mass and bul.k af the proposed structure. Andy then reviewed the Meadow Drive cancerns. The staff still had 4 concerns: 1) a change in material on the large Meadow Drive darmers, 2) the arcade design, 3) landscaping should be brought to the front af the stone wali, and 4] more vari.ation in the overal.l elevation was nee:ded. Jeff Winston, Town of Vail urban design consultant, reviewed design issues. He stressed that ance a building has been constructed, it will be there fox a long time and although the pracess was frustrating, it was very importarrt to get the building right. He felt it was a fine line to determine when a building was appropriate for Vail, when it was tao big, etc. Jeff added that although the applicant was proposang a building of the highest quality, and the paxking would be u.nd'erqround, there were still many cancerns: The number of encroachments into the setbacks, the pool and patio encroached into the stream setback, loading and unloading on Vail Road, increase in traffic on Vai1 Raad, employee housing and using the stream setback for a canstruction road. Jeff felt that the most important issues were. 1} what the feeling would be lilce when walking down Meadow Drive, 2) the areas of flat roof, and 3) public access to Gore Creek. He used a sa.te plan to show the encraachments. Jeff alsQ showed that the Vail Village Inn buildings were set at angles and had varied heights, both of wha.ch helped the walking expera.ence. Jeff falt that the parking grid under the building could be maved back from East Meadow Drive and that wauld a1.1.ow the building to be moved baclc some, which would decrease some of the shadow along Meadow Drive. Regarding the fiat roof, Jeff felt that.even thaugh the pedestri.an may not natice the flat roof from the im:medi.ate area, it would be setta.ng a precedent. He added that flat raofs were a foreiqn element in Vail. He suqgested that perhaps dQrmers coul.d be carried through to uary the roof. Kristan thert summarized the staff's concerns: l, Design Compatibility : height, sun/shade and views. 2. Site Plan: In general the farm needs to be reworked so that it does not exceed the height limits and the setbacks. 3. Vail Village Master PTan: The plan meets 2 of 5 sub-area concepts, and the staff feels the plan snDUid meet more than €1~r j 5 ~ • 1 thls. ~ 4. L a ndscaPing and open space ~ 5, Employee housing 6. Design of VaiZ Road 7. Resolution of Talisman access easement 8. The Zocatian of the access road for eanstruetion I~ Art A7.bplanalp, xepresenting the Vail Reliqious Foundatian, stated j that there were basicaliy twa types af appl,i.cants: one who follows ; the rules and therefore won't face apposition, and dne who tries to do what he wishes. He adcied that the second type of app].icant a first proposes something sa out af scale that the Town then I negotiates the project down tQ what the applicant wanted in the ~ first place. Art added that the app].icant purchased the prgperty knowing the zone district that it was in. He feYt that an SDD was + being requested to buzld totally out of all proportion. He said ~ that a building 77 feet tall did nat fit a,n that area. Art then quoted staff concerns in the mema related ta heiqht, shade, loading, and mass. He appreciated what Jahannes had done to the ~ SannenaZp, but felt the proposed building was not appropriate for this site. Art mentioned the problem the Chapel had with peaple who were going ~ i to the Sannenalp and used the Chapel parking area. He then said I that the Master Plan auf.horized a height of 27 to 35 feet ran Vail Road, and disaussed the f_act that the 3oading zone was l.ncated directed across from th~ Chapel and the potential impacts upan the Chapel from Zoading areas that were undersizecl. Art diseussed the streamwalk and the fact that the applicant felt that it "shauld not ~.I be an issue." ~ Art feit that SDD's were not to be used to abtain whoZesale variances. He quoted from Sectzon VIIT of the staff inemo. Rick Rosen, repxesenting the owners of condas at First Bank and ~a VilZa Cortina, felt the project should follow the Master Plan. He mentioned concerns which included the height, the canyors effect along Meadvw Drive, the lack of open space along the two streets, I and the fact that 'the applicant had not-tried to design within the existing zoning. tiiane Hagen spake about construction on the site interfering with weddings in the ChapeZ. She asked that canstruction be caartailed ; on the weekends. & PI t. ~I Jay Petersan, attorney representing the Sonnenalp, said the contractar was in the audience to answer construction concerns. He explained that the Faesslers were trying ta bui1d a quality hotel, and that Vail was rated #11 in ski resorts with regard to lodging. He felt that many of the encroachments were minor anes. He added that the Ioading dock was a necessary evil. Three times a week there would be liquor trucks that were 38 feet long. Jay stated that the streamwalk was only a study area in the Master _ Plan, not arequirement, He added that there would be no fireplaces in the hotel rQOms. Jay explained that the tower height was needad for hyaraulic elevatars that must go 7 stories. Forty to 50q af the common'ali~ea was helow' graund--hallways, stairs, IQbby, and conference faciZities which did not add to the bulk. He would 1i7ce to solve the parking prablem between the Chapel and the Sannenalg. The mass did not change near the Bully zII, but was merely a modification af the laading area. Regarding emplayee housing, Kathy Warren aslced if the applicant were willing to restrict the requested units, and Jay stated that the applicant would comply with what the Tawn makes others comply with, that they agreed to restrict the lZ existing emplayee units, but not to 4 new units. Regardinq the Talisman access easement, i.f a neca easement is afferecl to the TaZisman, the existing one would not be needed. Kristan responded that the staff inerely wanted to be sure that ~ Meadow Drive remained a pedestrian area. Jay compareci the heights of surrounding buildings, stating that mast 4f them werem not T, ta 2 story buildings . He felt that the TQwn needed a hotel and ~ulk was inevitable with a hotel. Gordan Pierce, architect for the project, descxibed the architectural changes made since the last proposal. He felt that mnst of Jeff Winston's criticisms were "right on the maney". He stated that he had net with Mi.ke McGee, the Fzre Marshal, and got approval af the fire truck access. Regarding the flat roof, he felt that it caul.d not be seen except from the mountain. The meeting was adjourned for a 15 minute recess, Diana Doncavan, Chairpersan, called the meeting back to order. She asked the board to ask questions and make comments. Connie stated that even if the building were designed dafferently, the mountain view would be lost, and she asked Jeff i.f any view corridor study.had been dane in that area. Jeff respandecl that there were cancerns with the view along Meadow Drive, and that with even a two stary bui3.ding, virtualZy alI of the views woul.d be last. Connie then asked if the views would be ].ost if the building were constructed within the setbacks, and Jeff stated that part af ~ 7 the uiews would still be last. Connie stated that aestheticall,y, flat roofs waxe not what the Town wanted in the Village, and Jay ~ responded tha.t the VaiJ. Gateway building had partly flat rdafs, and ~ that the first submittal for the Covered Brzdge Building had a flat roof. Connie stated that, overall, she did not see any a.mprovernent over the proposal from the last meeting. She felt the shading of Meadaw Drive was dreadful, that the landscaping looked better, but there still needed to be more landscaping along the Sonnenalp. She hated to see the pool encraach into the setback. She felt the Sannenalp would handle their employee housing situation weil on their own. Connie was upset about the height and. felt that she could not support the project. Jim Shearer stated that he would like to see the applzcant do more study alang Meadow Drive. He suggested a large archway on the "punch--outs". He liked the parkYng access for the Talisman, the pocket park, and the 2 loadi.ng areas. Jirn wanted acommitment to a bridge for pedestrians and wanted the pool and patio maved out of the setback area. He wanted to see more study regarding the pedestrian way across to the Vai]. Village Inn. He felt that the applicant must address traffic incrsases. He wanted the DRB to look at the arcade area where there is only 3feet Qf clearance. He also feZt that more landscaping was needed on the northwest corner. ~ Jim felt that flat roafs were a bad sztuation and required much ~ maintenance. He said that he supported the praject, he felt the Town neec3ed the au's, that redevelopment should be encouraged, especially a well run busa.ness,. He felt that the project pravided additional parking, incxeased the commercial base, and added a poeket park. Jim felt that more study should be done on the increase in traffic, on the number af vari.ances being requested, and public access to the public areas. He felt the DRS should study the pedestrian ways. Kathy asked Gordon why the Meadow Drive wing could nat be pulled to the sauth, and Gardon replied that this would cause some problems. Kathy wasn°t comfortable with the implication that a building dane within zoning could not be aesthetically pleasang. Kathy x-ead from 18.40.090 Development Standards for SDD"s, "...Before the Tawn Cou.ncil approves development standards that deviate frnm the underlying zone d%strict, it shauld be determined that such deviation pravides benefits to the Town that autweigh the adverse eftects of such deviation,." Kathy listed the dsviatians the Sonnenalp was requesting, including additional ranits, excess accessory use square footage, excess camznon axea, setback encrcaachments, and excess height. She wondered what ber,efits the Town was receiving that OUtWElg}1ed the adverse effects of the requested deviat:ions. ~ 8 ~ i r ~ Kathy reminded tYae applicant that one purpose ot an SDf7 was to further the goals of the Vail Comprehensive P1an, and she felt this . project had fallen short. Chuck Crist felt that the patio shouid be moved back out of the setback, was concerned about the I.oad;ing docks, the sun/shade (aside from that caused by the tdwer), and suggested the crosswalk to the WT be heated. He feZt that if inedians were placed by the 4-way, that one should alsa be pTaced by the bank. He felt that the applicant had some responsibility to provide public open space. He did point out that the pocket park was positive, and was nvt concerneci with the streamwalk. Chuck felt that the Sonnenalp did provide for their employees wz.th housing, and was not concerned alaout the increase in height of the corner tower. He was concerned about the regulation of the construction activity and felt it shoul.d be limited to weekdays, and that no constructa.on shauld be allawed an Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. He suppoxted the proj ect . Steve Cohen, the probable eontractor for the Sonnenalp, stated that j he planned 10 hour days, 5 days per weelc, with some work an Saturdays. He stated that he had much experience canstructing }auildings under difficu3.t circumstances. Dalton Williams had no problem with the pool, but felt that the ~ patio should be pulled back. Regarding employee units, he felt that the request tQ restrict a certain number of units was within reason, but did not feel additianal emplayee units would have to be constructed. Dalton pointed out that the First Bank was withirt 6 feet af its property line, and he was concernecl about having the , left turn larie neax the bank entry. Daltdn wondered if the Sonnenalp could validate parking ti.ckets fcrr church parki.ng. Regardirag the building along Meadow Drive, he liked the idea of bringing out the dormers, and sugqested that perhaps the retail could also be brought further out tp really provide ins and outs. He felt that the building would read as 3 stories. He was in favor ot the pocket park. Regarding construction during peak times, he felt that construction activity should cease and loak the least obtrusive as possible during C'hristmas week, Presidents' week, and Easter. Dalton felt no work should be done on 5unday, and only interior work done on Saturdays. Ccaneerning the construction raad along the creek, he suggested putting the utilities in the fal1 and leaving the raad out, then i putting in the road in the spring. He feit the flat raaf wauld ~ read as a slaped raof. Regarding the height, he felt that the buiJ.ding cauld be lawered by one story at the auto cQUrt. ~ 9 lrrding Rega~.he accessory and eommon space, I~al~ton felt the percent~.ge fc~r allowable accessc~ry use and co~nman space used by the Town shouJ.d bE increased. Dalton was in favor caf the increase in au's and in favor af the project. Di.ana stated that she coulcl not support the proj ect because it did not meet the SDD criteria. Tt was not campatible with the neighborhaod, the site plan could be imprcaved, and the open space was a big issue. Diana felt the project needed a"front yard" to mitigate the height and buJ.k. She felt the traffic study needed to be done concerning the original cz,rcle proposed ffl rthe intersection of Vail Raad and Meadow brive. Diana felt the Town Council should determine who should construct the medians. She felt the paol setback should meet existing regulations and would like to see a letter from the Sonnenalp stating that they would nat use the fact that they wauld nat use the ianpact upon the pool as an excuse to protest the streamwalk. Dzana was i.n favor of thc VA parcel bei.ng an informal pocket park. She feZt that the employee housing absolutely must be restricted, and that there must be more relief and .interest on the Nleadow Drive szde of the building. Diana felt that the applicant was asking too much. She also wished to restrict the au's permanently since this was an important part of the project. Diana feZt the cflnstruction activity should be restricted, especzall.y during July, August and from December thraugh Easter, ~ She felt that the applicant ~was placing impravements on publie rzght-of-ways, and that the stream access was only for Sonnenalp guests. The phasing plan must be worltable. She had many problems wath a cdnstruction road along Gore Creek and felt that all construction activity must be contained on the site. Johannes Faessl,er stated that he was surprised to learn of problems with the Vail Interfaith Chapel. He stated that Don Simonton had come to a meeting at the Sonnenalg, anel added that he would be happy to work ou.t problems with the church. He also mentioned that many church gaers used the Sannenalp parking, and he had no problem with that. Craig 5nowdon, representing the Talisman, stated that the Talisman had no problem with the Sonnenalp progasal. 'I'he boarcl retired to executzve session witY7, Larry Eskwith, Town At'torney. When they returned, Kathy Warren moved to recommend denial of the pr9ject, and Connze Knight seconded the motion with the fallowing findings: 1. The projeGt was not in compliance with Criterza A, regarding design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood ancl adjacent properties. ~ 10 ~ ya .;~~y~ 2. SDD Criteria G, requiring that the proposal meet the loading standards of the Town, was not met. 3. The praj ect fail.ed to maet 5DD Criteria D re.garding conformity with the agplicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Urban Desi.gn F1.ans, and specifically the Vail villa.ge Master Plan. 4. The project did not meet SDD Criteri.a F regarding the site plan, in that the site plan lacked quality public open space on the site. 0 5. St]D Criteria H was not met, nat adequate open space on the ! site, ~ ~ 6. SoD eriteria T was not met regarding the phasing plan, as there may be a conflict with the constructian of the px'oject and the weekend activities at the Vail Interfaith Chapel. In adda.tion, the PEC summarized their specific cbncerns about the project, which were: l. The swimming pool should be moved out of the rear (south) setback. The patia adjacent to the pool should be allowed to encraach only 10 feet into the rear setback. ~ 2. The,bua.lding is tan high. 3. More relief an Meadow Drive zs needed, 4. IdeaZly, Vail Road should bend at the intersectian of Meadow Drive and Vail Road. Because the traffic generated by thas project wi.l1 require widening Vail Road, there should be some mitigation to reduce the "thoroughfare" appearance of Vail Road. This bend in the road should be done in conjuncta.an with mnving the S}ci Museum. Suka-area concept 1-2 of the Vaal Village Master Pl,an needs ta be addressed. 5. The land VA owns by the Swiss Chalet should be turned into a pocket park. The imprcrvements to this parcel shQUld be very infarmal. The natural character of the site should he maintained, 6. The applicant should perzaanently restrict 11 employee hausing ' units. 7. The noise and construction activity should }ae 1imited so that it does nQt impact the chapel activities on Saturdays, Sundays, vr haZiclays. 8. All construction shouZd occuron-site. The construction aGt1V1'ty should not affect Gore Creek, particularly with 11 ..~E ~ i ~ ~ erosion-or sediment disturbance beeause of constructa.can. 9. The applicant should construct the proposed pedestrian bridge ~ acrQSs Gare Creek at the existing Vail Raad Bridge, This ;,fork should be coorrlinated with Public Works. 10. The applicant should ensure that the Talisman access easement I onta East MEadow Drive is vacated. This gaperwork needs to be f'inalized. 11. The applicant shouJ.d build a planted median in the eenter of Vail Road south of Meadow Drive per the traffic study. 12. The accammodatiQn units the applicant wzl.l be building should a11 he restricted permanentIy as lodge rooms so that no conversions to condominiurns will be al.lpwed in the future. 13. The loadi.ng bays should be expanded in size to meet the Town' s minimum size requirement. 14. The applicant should provide public access to Gore Creek thraugh green space or pocket parks. 15. The required setbacks along Meadaw Drive shauld be met. The vote w'as 3-3. Diana noted that the comments of concern were from the entire board, but were weighted differently. They ~ requested that the staff pass a3.ong the individual comments tQ the ~ Town Council. : 8.

Applicants: John and Barbara Schofield Andy Knudtsen showed a site plan and explai.ned the request regarding setbacks and walT heights. Barbara Schafield stated that her family needed another garage and described the site. She stated that they taere willinq ta landscape heavily. John Schofield stated that the height and slope of all the fini.shed grades would be equal to or less than the existing grades. (Jne r,,rall was proposed to be 9 feet high and one wall wQUld be 11 feet high. Kathy wondered if the garage could be p3.aced closer to the house, and was told the house would £al1 . down.

A sgecial meetinq of the Town Council was heid an Wednesday, December 19, 1990, at 7:30 P,M,, in the Cauneil ChambeYS of the Vail Municipal Suilding. MEMBERS PF2ESENT: Kent Rose, Maycar Tom S't.ei.nberq, Mayor Pxo-Tem Lynn Fritzlen Jim Gibsan Robert LeVine Peggy Osterfoss MEMBERS ABSENm; Merv Lapin ToW*I t3FFICIALS PRESENT: RQn Phillips, Town Manager Larry Eskwizh, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Tewn Clerk This was a special meeting to consider tlrciinance 44, Series af 1990, fiYSt rrading, an ordi,nance requesting a Special Develapment District for the SQnnenalp redeve3opment, located at 20 Vail Road, a part o£ Lot L, Block 5- E, Vai7, ViTlage lst Filing. The applacant was 5onnenalp Froperties, Tnc. , Kristan Pritz outlined the presentation process, beginning with the staff • presentation by Mike Mollica and Andy Knudtsen. Mike Mollica reviewed tne staff mema beginning with the 6 variations for the existing Public Accommodatzon Zone District being requested. They included variances to height, density, setbacks, size af loading berths, am6unt of accessory and common area. Mike described the request which ncluded establishzng an SDD with existing underlying Puhkic Accammodation ~oning, ancreasing the accaiaimodation units from 72 to 126 units and eliminating 10 existing c3,we11ing units, maintainingr all units as lodge units, installing gas burning fireplaces in all units, adding agproxitnately 4000 stguare feet of conference space for a tatal of 7930 square feeL, and constsucting a new building to heights of 51 to 82 feet on the saest side, 49 ta 59 feet an tYse north side, 52 feet on the east and 24 feet on the south. 5ite improvements inc3uded a pedestrian walkway attached to the east side af the existing Vail Roacl Bridge, over Gare Creek, removing the existing surface parkincp, cflnstructinq a pocket park northeast of the Swiss Chalet ; and adjacent to Willow Bridge Road, constructing a sidewaJ.k alang the east side of Vail Roa1, constructi,ng itnprovements such as planters and siciewalks along East MeadQw Drive, and installing landscaping along the north and west eJ.evatians. An vnderground parking garage would be constructed, removing the existing surface parking lot, and a totai of tYsree load3ng berths wou].d be adcled. Retai.'1 commercial space of 5,713 square feat wauld be included and the , restaurant and lounge area would be expandec3 to a total of 6,657 square feet. Mike then reviewecl t'he zoning analysis, descrifaing the departures from the PA Zone District. Andy Knud'tsen reviewed the nine SDD criCeria, Aegarding Criteria A, concerrsing design carnpatability sensitivity ta the immediate envirnnment relative to design, seale, bulk, height, buffer zones, character, etc., Andy sta.ted the staff abjected to the tnaximum height of 77 feet for the Vai2 Road bui2s3irsg elevation and 81 feet for the elevator tawer: Andy pointed aut that the tower was 4 tames more masaive than 4he Vail Village nn tower along Meadaw Drive (Phase IV), He showed a sun/shaae sti:dy wha.ch dicated the amount of shade cast ugon East Meadow Drive 3nd also onto the 4kil Village Inn. Regarding character, the staff fel*_ that there was a significant deviation 1 i from the existing character of the Village in the formal, unbroken facade ^f the beiilding along East Meadow Drive. The staff suggested design ~ changes which included material variety to emphasize the change in the ~ glane af the tauz].c3ing, bringing Ianc3scaping ug to the base of the building, clzanging the shape of the fixst fl.oor archway apenings, and adding pl.axas. ta tie both, sides af the straet taqether. Andy then addressed Criteria 6, concezninq density, GRFA and uses. The staff supported the plan to have lodge rooms only, but was concerned that the density, in canjunction with the height, was toca much far the site. The accessory uses exceeded the allowable by 13% and the cornmon area exceecied the allowable by 650, resulting in an additionaY floor area of 55,400 square feet= The result was amass af the praject that was much larc}er than what the underlying zoning allawed. Criteria C, cornpliance with parking and loading, was the next SDD criteria. Andy explained that a very positive aspect of the propasal was ttsat all surface parking (except i,n the auto caurt) would be eliminated, and in place of the 13 5pa.cas next to the Swiss Chalet, tttere wouZd be a packet park. With regard to laading, the applicant proposed 3 laading berths. Two af these, on the northwest corner of the project, did not meet the minimum width of 12 feet, but were propased to be 81-10' feet wide. Andy then expl.ained that Criteria E, the identification of hazazds, pertained only to floodplain isr thi.s instance, and that no construction was prcaposed in the I00 year floadp2ain. Critaria F included the site plan, buil.ding'design and location, and flpen sgace provisions designed ta be responsi.ve and sensitive to natural featuras, vegetatian and averall assthetic quality of the cammunity. Andy stated that the staff was coneerned about the ten areas af setback encroachrnent. He presente.d site plans which showed the encroachments and expJ.aineci that the encraachment which cQneezned the staff the most was the one proposed for the kitchen expansian and compactar area on the southwest ~ cc,rner of the progerty, where the compactor area encroached 151-6" and tlnE kitchen expansian and Eully Pub encroached 18 feet into the Vail Road setback. AnotYaer encroachment of major concern was the swimming poal/patia araa. i Staff believed that the Gase Creek corridor shouLd be maintained as natural as possible to preserve its aesthetic appeal. The staff had no problems with the two tower encroachments alang Meadow Dra.ve, feeling tha't allowinq the towers ta cotne out closer to the street gave more defi.nition to the publkc spaces and was a benefit. However, the s"taff did feel that there was aiot ersough undulation and variety to the Meadow Drive faeade. With regard to natural features, Anciy stated the staff felt adding a streamwalk aiang the creek wauld alJ.ow more guests in Vai.l to enjoy this natural £eature. 31 stsearnwaZk had nat been proposed. Regarding circulation, Criteria G, the Fire Department gave their conceptual approval of the Talisman and 5annenalp etnergency vehicle access. r The applicant would construct apedestrian bridge over Gore Creek arsd a : sidewalk alonq Vail Road from the corner of Meadow Drive ta Gore Creek. Staff feJ.t that there should be a stronger interface between the pedestrian street of East Meadow Drive and the commarcial store frants. Grlteria H cancerning landscapinc3 was next, and Andy pointed out that the huilding was designed to be located close to Vail Road and Meadow Drive. ; By not providing adequate open sQace west or north of the buiZciing, the public would not benefit fxom the apen space on site. Hawever, the applicant had affered to build a pedestrian plaza between the wI and the ~ i Sonnanalp. Mike malliaa then reviewed the project as it relatecl to the Vail Village ~ Master Plan. He stated that the staff believed that one of the most impartant parts of the Master PZan was the conceptua'. b,~-'''_"`_ diagram, and felt that the groject severe2y deviated fraxa theMaster Plan with regard to height. Sub-area #1-2, the Vail Road/Meadow Drive 2 ~ ~ ntersection, was shawn gn a sf'ke plan. Mike e~laineci that the sub-area esiouth a11?d for visual b~3triers to discourage vehicular traffic from heading an Vail Road Prom the 4-wa.y stap, and for the pedestrian connection, both noYth and south alang Vail road, to be improved. The propasal includec3 a six foot wide sidewalk along th.e full length of the west side of the praperty. Because the 8onnenalp redevelopment required the widening of Vail Raad, the staff was recammendinq mitigation to discouraqe vehicular traffic, This would include Coztstxuctinq 3 planted medians: 2 near the 4- ' way stop, and one next to the 5onnenalp. The staff fell, that the propasal , did not meet the concept of 5ub-area #1_2_ Sub-area #1-3 stated in part, "....Nfass of build5.ng should not create a shadaw pattern on Meadaw Drive." Tha staff response was that Meadow Dxive would be comp3etely shaded at times in the winter due to the proposed stzucture. This sub-area concept was not met. The applicank did meet the purpose of Sub-area #1-5, the F]illow Bridge Road walkway, by maving the surface parking spaces into the garage ancl construCting a packet pazk zn this area. Sub-area #1-4 included two iterns: a plaza with gree.nspace near the Swiss , Chalet in conjunctidn with tihe adjacent plaaa at the Vail Village Inn, and fire aceess in the same general area. The fire access was proposed and . eanceptually approved by the Fzze Department. The proposal did nat include a plaza, and so thas sub-area concept was not entirely met. : - Sub-area #1-9 - Study area. Vi3lage Streamwalk states: "Study of a walking-flnJ.y path along Gore Cxeek batween the Covered Bridge and Vail Road, eonneetirsg to existing streamwalk, furthBr enhaneing the pedestrian network throughout the Village and providing public access ta the creek." Objective 3.4 of the Master Plan as to develop "..accessible gzeen space areas, including pocketi parks and stream access." 'Fhe statf felt strong3y that a streamwalk was in the best interests of the Town, anci believed that et could be designed in a way that was sensitive to the needs of the hcatel roposal. `Phis suh-area coneept was not met. Mike revi:ewed the I1lustratiVe Plans beginning with the Land Use Plan. Wath regard to the Open Space Plan, open space along the ez3tire stream eorridar is callad for. The Parking and Circulation Plan 5tated that "East Meadow Drive is designated as a gedestrian street with plazas, limited or na autos and a bus route. The Gore Creek corxidQr is clesignated as a study area fcar a wal7cing path." The staff response was that East Meadow wi.tl continue to be a pedestrian corridore however, the propasal daes nat include a streamwalk. The Buildi.ng Height Plan reco,nmends that the area alQng East Meadow Drive be a maxim'um of 2 to 3 stories or 18 to 27 faet high. Three to four staries (27 feet to 36 £eet) is designatsd on the southern three quarters of the property. The staff respanse was that this was one of the mast important camponents of th,e Master Plan a,nd had been previously discussed. Overall, the staff felt that the applicant's proposal was not in compliance with the Master Plan. Rndy then raviewed the EIR Analysis. Mike gave the staff canclusion fream the memo, s'kating the staff recommended denial of the project for many reasons. Using the SaD critezia, staff found severe noncompliance with height, settraeks, shadow, open space p3an witta plaaas, and streamwalk anci asked that the appli.cant ar3dzess the Town'S issues more tharoughly. Jeff Winston, Town of vail urban desi.gn car,sultant, stated that sflme aF the issues were very comp3.ex and pointed out that the Town Council was being askeci ta make a decision on an issue that was difficult to visualize. He stxessed that the building, i.f apFroved, would be in place for a long time and the challenge was to do it right. Jeff stated that lt was 2.mportant to maintain Vail's character, as that was impartant to Vail's ecnnomic urvival. It was important to balance the needs of tfle hotel with the eds of the Town and find the fi,ne line hetween the two. He pointad Qut he positive aspects which inc],uded the fact that hatel raoms wa~11,4 k+¢ added, surface parking waa being removed, the operataon of the hotel would he done with quality, parking near the 5t+riss Chalet would be converted to a 3 r . f , pocket park, and the project would add vitality to Vail. i On the negative sicief Jeff painted dut thatsorne af the setback ~ encroacxaments were acceptable, but Chat the encraachment on the stream side and Vail Road side had more significant imgacts, and tktat there would be increased traffic on Vail Road. He was Goncerned wit13 the averall scale of the propQSed building and its zmpact on East Meadow Qrive as well as Vail , Road. The building would cast shadows and block views, and the portion of the roof that was proposed to be flat would establish a psecedent for flat roofs. Jeff showet3 the areas af errcroachment oM a site plan. He pointed i aut that the V'VI buildings being turraed at an angle added to the interest . of the streetscape and took away the unwantecl lineal feeling af the street. Jeff suggested rotating part of the proposed building on Meadow Drive. He reminded the Council that the Urban Design Guide Plan suggested connected pla2as from the Sonnenalp to the WI. , Jeff sugqested that perhaps a variety of roQf heights, and modifying the ; roof where the mechanical areas were proposed, would help. Jeff echoed the . staff's desire ta have the project succeed with the best possible proposal. He asked the applicant to take anot3ier look at the specific ideas proposed which would a.mprove the project. Kristan Pritz then used charts to show the list of PEC concerns and the issues that staff €elt were important. The PEC concerns incinded the : . follawing; i 1. Paol lacation in stream setback 2. 8uilding too high 3. Need tor architectural ralief on Meadow i]rive 4. Need for mi,tigation of the widening of Vail Road ~ 5. Need for pocket park by Gore Creek and Wi11ow Bridge , 6. Need for 11 employee housing units 7. Construction noise limits, on-site cons'truction stagi,ng 8. Pedestrian bridge on Vail Itoad Sridge ~ 9. Solution of Talisasan access easernent 10. Reatrict J.adge rooms as lodge rooms germanentZy 11. Loading bays must meet Town standards ' 12. Publi.c aceess neer3ed to creek 13. Setbacks on Meadora Drive must be met KrisCan that the PEC mation ta apprnve the praject was denied by a 3-3 vote. Three members feYt strongly enough abQUt the cancerns to vote to deny the project, and the ather three felt the cancerns were important, but that they coul.d be passed along ta the "Pown Council with a vote of • appraval. The motian ineluded the fallpwinq findings: 1. The project was rsat in comapliance with Criteria A, regarding ' . design camgatibl].ity and sensitivity to the immediate enviranment, neighbarhaad and adjacent groperties. ; 2. SDD Criteria C, requiring that tTne proposal meet the loading standards of the Town, is not me't. ~ 3. The project fails to meet SDD Criteria D regarding conformity ~ with the applicable elements af the Vail Comprehensive Plan, , Urban Design Plans, and specificaxly tha Vail ViZlage Master Plan. 4. The project daes not meet SDD Criteria F regarding the site plan, ~ in that the site plan lacks quality public spaces. ~ 5, SDd Criteria H is not met, as there is not adequate open space on ~ the site. ~ 6. SDD Criteria l is nat met regarding the phasing glan, as there may be a conflict with the construction of the project and the weekend activities at the Vail Interfaith Chape3. Kristan summarized the staff direction and spake to the big picture issues." They included the fo].lowing: 1. The building was taa high relative td Vail Road and Meadaw Drive and resulted in acanyon effect as well as shading on Meadow brive. ~ 2, The bualding did not have enough articulation-horizontally and vertically. 3. Lack af public spaces on Meadow Drive. 4 J' / Y ' • Lack of public access to the creek. The grojeot should cc+r-ily *:rith the Vai3. Village Master Plan sub-areas 1--3 and 1-4 and tne Villags strearnwalk. 6. "Cateh-ail issues" included affordable hausing, final design af Vail fioat3, the Talisman access easem2nt issue, the locatian of the construction road, and setback along Vail Road. Kristan encouraged the Caunci1 ta think back to the wor3tshvp that was recently held on mrsuntazn resort design. Those same design principles rseeded to be considered rahen revi+ewing this project. The building has the potentia3 ta have a great impact on the community. The staff's job and PEC/Counci.l roles are to insure that the impact is positive and a quality design results for the community. She stated that the praject cvuld comply with the Vail Vi].lage Master Plan more alosely and that the SDO process was well suited to this type of project. The Vail Village Master Plan anticipated davelopment on the site. She encouraged the Council to take the time to review the project thoroughly as a projec'C, especia7.ly one of this magnitude, because of the incredible impact it woul.d have an the . character saf the area. She concluded that a projecC that took inta eonsideration the staff and PEC direction would result in a fine project for both the owner and community. Kristan stated that 'Chis was not a matter of no development vs. development, but rather that the staff supparted the coneept of the lodge and mixed use deuelopment on the site. The issue was design and haw the propasal related ta the deszgn documents. A break was taken at this point. . Jay Peterson, representinq the apglicant, stated there was much mcre ~ difficulty in building a hotel than a building with candas. iie believed that the applicant and the staff were not that far apart. Jay shawed a nassing model o# a building that would canfaitn 140% wiLh the underlying zoninq, and felt that it was nat a good building. ~ardon Pierce, architect af Lkse building, showed slides of di.fferent r~uildings, including Vail Road and Meadow Drive raith a maciel of the praposed building in p1aGe. He stated that he had worked with consultants, engineers, public works Department, etc., and had designed the building in the best psassible way. Gardon reminded the Council that 9 feet was no longer used as the hezqht of one flaar, rather 10 feet was used for hatel ~ rooms and 12-13 feet was used far commercial areas. , With regard to the W I building setbacks, Gozdcan stated they varied from 5 feet ta 25 f'set frons the property line. He added there wouid be more landscaping on the Sannenalp side of the road than existed an the VVI side. Gordcsn reviewed the site plan regardinq landscaping, garkir,g, and setbacks. He pointed out that in some areas, the building was puZZed back. He also stated that 51% of the back-of-hause facilities were undergzound, and the loading docks were 10 feet wide. Gardon said that the eave line of the building was low, which was where pedestrians would read the building. He ' pointed cut that the narrowness of East Gore Creek Driue worked well for Vail Village and added that the narrow alley next tca the Hi11. Buiiding was pleasing. r Jay then mentioned that in a hatel, common areas were impartant. He explained that if height is removed fresm Meadow Drive, it wouid have to be added in another building near the creek whiah w+ould include a mix of condominiums and accommodation units. Public eomment was invited next. Robert O'Nlalley, Jim Wear, Craag snowdon, Hans Von Barby, Hod Sl.ifer, Eric Affeldt, Wi11 Ntiller, Larry Litchliter, Jack Curtin, and John MiYls spake in favor of the project. Rick F2asen, Paul Rondeau, Edward Mayne and Art Abplanaip spoke against the project. ,7ohannes Faessler, agplicant, thanked the Council for calling a special meeting. He saici that he cased about V'ail, had wcrkecl to make his building W positive farce 3.n the community and feit that the current proposal would e a continuation of that effort. Hs wandered if perhaps his presposal was 7ight Por Vaii, but if this building were not canstructed, somethxng eise would be constructed on the property. `He felt that Vai3 must continue impraving--"to stand sti7.1 was to move baclc. " Nat much had happened .zn 5 ~ . ; the past 5 years in the Village. He asked that the Council considex the message they wauld be sanc3_-ng •-_et i, they did not approve the proj ect as it ~ was praposed. Jay Peterson asked that the project be tabled to ,Tanuary 8th and that the Council give their camments. The motion to table was made by Feggy Osterfoss, with Tom Stein}aerg seconding. The v4te was F-a in favor af tabli.ng. Kent Rose began the coznrnents with the statement that he was Ieaning taward approval of the prvject and that there was a need for a quality hotel in Vail. The increase in density and common space did not bother him. He was cancerned about pedestrian access alang Mea[low arive, pedestrian access to the stream on the south, agreed that the poal shotild nat encraach next to puYa3.i.c Iand, that sunligh't mast reach Meadow Drive, that the southwest corner af the building needed ta be pulled back, that there shauld be mitigatian of the widening of'Vail Road, and felt the need for restricted employee units. Kent felt the Sonneraalp aecess was positive and that the pedestrian bridge was not necessary, as the entire bridge would saan be replaced by the Town. Jcshannes and Karl Faessler and Jay Petersan had left the room. They were , asked to return for the rest bf tkr.e Cauncil's comments. Rob Levine said he echoed Kent°s cancerns. This project would be a pYus far Vail. He pointed aut, however, tYtat all af the development rras on the edges of the property with the flpen space in the middle for the hatel guests. He wanted the streamwalk and suggested that the building either be pulled back or lowered a littla to make it laetter for the community. Rob said that he was clase ta supporting the praject, but felt it neadec3 rnore woxk. . Tom Steinberg felt that ovezall this was a beautiful buiiding and that Vail obviously needed mare hotel rooms. He statetl one cou3.d not ask far a ~ better group of people to Cottst]ruct a hnteI. He felt it shouid be "faded back in height." Tam wcauld have liked to have seen the total site, including the Talisman, included in the project and the originai builciing that contained restaurants and kitchens be torn down and rebuilt. He was against any road a].ong the stream tract and felt that the streamwalk would, in the long term, be one af ttZe Sonnenalp's assets. Tom asked that the height and bulk be reduced and that there be more open space along the streets. If bt were his project, he would build the streamwalk himse],f so ; that it would be constructed where ktie wanted it. Tom felt this was a , beautiful building but it was tao mucYa, in tao sma1l a space. He felt the traffic study was superficial and that another study shauld be done during busy times. Tom felt the restauzant and laadinq daCk needed to be pu11ed - back and ttee 3 existinq woocEburning fireplaces should be converted to gas. He €elt the meed for 3 lanes aZang Vail Raad with planted medians. Peggy Osterfoss stated this was not a t;uestion of developrnent or no development, but that the Council had an oppartunity ta work toward a positive solution. Advarstage conld be takerr of the f3exibility of the SDD process af give-and-take which allowed for variations, but shauld not allow ` for increases in all parameters. Sha had concerns wi.th the project"s complianca with the 5DD criteria. Peggy felt the poal and patio should be pulled back from the stream tract. Peggy was not eancsrned about the additional GRFA. She €elt that additfonal restaurant area, for additional lodging, made sense. With regard to SDD Criteria A, hezght was Feggy`s greatest concern. Character couZd be improved by height variations as we11 as ins and outs in the building. Criteri.a D, regarding confoz'mity with the applicable elements of the Vail Camprehensive Plan, the hsight plan was not met. Sub-area 1-2, t2te Vail Road and Meadow arive interseetion, providing a visual barrier to discaurage vehicular traffic, could be met with planted medians. Sub-area Goncept 1°3 regarding shade had not been met. Sukr-azea 1--5 had been met with a pocket park. Sub-area 1-4, a plaza i.n conjunction with the WI, could be strengthened. Sub-area 1°9, the streamwalk, had not besn met. Peggy pointed out that the pbjective in the Master Plan was ~ rabii~; au..~ss to the creek. She felt some sort of access was important and that the pool and patio should be puiled back from the creek. Regarding the EYR ana2ysis, the atmospheric improvements were gositive. With regard 6 to visual cQnditidns, the height of the building affected the views. Off-- ~ite employee un3.ts would be accepta'~1- '-o ^:.ggy• With regarc3 ta . construction access to the project fram the south, Peggy felt this would . have a negative impact an Gore Creek. Peggy stated that by pulling the haight and mass back onto the site, the building could kae a good campromise. Jim Gibsan stated that i.n isalation, the project was autstanding. The detailing, the quality, etc., were excellent, but the project was not in ~ isalation in the Town of Vail. He telt that the encroachments dzd a , dissezvice to the project and magnified the bu2k and mass. He fe1t the height variance did not woz3c to enhance the.building. The shadow on Nieadow Drive and the canyon effect could be mitigated fry lowering the building. Ha felt that the building would bioclc pedestrian views from bath Vail Road and Meadow Drive. ,7im felt that the proposal cauld confarm t? the Vai7. Viilage Master Plan and most af the groposed project could stil7, remain - - intact. Jim felt that the 5DD cancept was a pz`oper way to develop certain - areas in Town, but when allowad to be used without control, the project could end up like..Lianshead, which waS nat a credit to the Town. YFe felt : thati comprermise was necessary and that the Cauncil wanted what the applicant wanted and wished to see the project succeed. Lynn Fritzlen felt tha't she had nothing to add to the previaus comments. Her feelings toward the kauilding were ambivalent. She felt frustration as . she watchad increases in density iss major projects. She reminded the board . and applicant that the Town would be faced with a senand impact of . rpvements that must be made to the infrastructure with increased growth. im P Johannes then stated that the suggested improvements must be paid by ; s6meone, and he would like to withdraw tihe application.

DESGRIP"I'ION C]F THE VAItiANCES REQUESTEI] The applicant, SQnnenalp Properties, is planning to undertake a major renovation of the Bavaria Haus. The remodel and expansion involves three wings. 7'he exis[ing wing which extends frorn the lobby ta the Talisman will be demolished, except for the foundation and concrete floQr plate af each level. The e;cterior walls will be expanded and a laft lever above the 4th floor will be added, as vvell as a new roof. The second major cornpoment of rhe ~ expansion invalves extending a wing nor#h from the existing, lobby, parailel ta Vail Road. The netiv wing will include the autQ eourt and will be the focal point of the ho[el. It will be the tallest part o£ the building at 56 feet, and wi11 require a height variance. The existinb wing, housing the lobby, restaurants and kitchen, is the third component of the praject, and will be remodeieci, will have a third flaor and a new roaf added to it. All of the parking tQr the hotel remains in the general Pocation where it is now, and remains surface parkirtg. There is na commercial prQposed at this time, but there will be an exgansion to the restaurants, labby, spa area and the conference rooms. The request involves three variances frorn the zonin~ code. The applicants will t~eed vu-iances from the height standards, the parking standards and the standards fQr the amaunt Qf a1lowable commQn area. The table in Section II shows the e:ctent of the reqtsests. A. Height Var'iance The building complies with the 48 foot hei~ht limit c~f' the Pubiic Accornmodations zone districc in aIl areas except above the auto court along Vail Raad. For this pnrrion of the building, the roaf is 56 feet high. This exceeds the standard by $ feet, ar 16.7%. ~ 1 ~ B. Common Area Variance The appIicant is proposing to exceed allowable amounts for comznon and accessQry areas as shflwn belaw: - CoAnman area over by 40,015,1 sq. ft., or 56.7% instead of 20% - Accessory area (eatinb, cirinking) aver by 1,651.4 sq. ft., or 23.4°Io instead of 10% Sectian 18.22.090 of the Public Accommodations section of the zaning cade states that: "Total density far permitted uses, conditional uses and accessory uses shall not exceed $0 sq, ft, of GRFA for each 100 sq. ft. of site area." After eombining the different eategaries of flac+r area: - The structure is over the cap by 47,067.6 sq. ft. or 66.7%.* The implicatian of Section 18.22.090 af the zoning code is that the total square footage for GF,FA, accessory (restaurantJbar), common area, and accessary uses as defined in Sectinn 18.22.040 shall not exeeed SO sq. ft. of grnss floor area fcar each ~ 100 sq. ft. of 6uzldable site area. Given the combination of floor areas, e:ccess uniised GRFA can be used to eompensa[e for the overage in accessory/restaurant square foatage and mee[zng roorris. These calculatians having been made, the project results in a[atal common uea af 40,015.1 sq. ft., which exceeds the allowable by 25,908.6 sq. ft., or 36.7%. * The overage in total square footage is made up af the following areas: GRFA: Approximateiy 60,000** Accessary (Restaurant/Bar): Approx. 9,000 Comrnon: Approx. 46,000 Meeting Roams. Approx. 4,000 119,000 I =7I,000 Allawed ~ Approx. 4$,00(} Overage Please note the project does not exceed allowablc GRFA ~ 2 C. Parking Variances ~ TheTe are two variances needed which iravalve parking. The first is a request to reduce the supply. The second is a request to ailaw more than 25% af the spaees to be unenelosed. The applicants aze required to provide a tocal af 13$ spaces. Of this toca.l, 37 are required for the addition. T'he existing parrking lot has 10I spaces on it, which was approved in 1985. The applicants are proposing to add 7 new spaces to the supply, resulting in a total supply of 108 spaces. Of the 10$ total nurnber of spaces provided, 12 are valet. Providing 10$ spaces will reqttire a 21.7~'o variance to the parking req«irernent. Cancerning the enclosure requirement, 75°Io of the required spaces, or 28 spaces, are required to be erzclosed per the code. The applieant proposes to lacate 16 withzn the auto court, which requires a 57% variance to this reqtzirement. The code requires 10% of the parking area to be landscaped. The applicant is proposzng to Iandscape 14~'0. Tn summary, the variances needed are for height (8 feet), common area (36.7%), pEirkin~ supply (2I.7%), and enclose~i parking spacts (57%). TT.

Variance Criteria As this project involves variance requests for height, parking and Gammon area, each one is discussed under each vari.ance criteria. 1. The relationshiD of the zequested variance to other existing ar po¢ential tises and struCttares in the vicinity. a. Height One portion of the buildiaig exceeds the 4$ foot height limit. The roof in this area extends up to 56 feet, which is 8 feet over the allowed height in the public accommodatian zane disrrict. The applicants have designed the roof as a madified parapet wail. The interior is flat with the exterior walls extending up ta 56 feet. The flat area will be at a 48 foot height. MechanicaI equipment will be l4cated on the flat portion and will be surrounded with the sloping portion of the raaf. This portion of the raof that surraunds the mechanical wzll be a vaid space and will contain na GRFA. ~ Staff helieves that the height in reiation to the Village is generally compatible. The peak of the tower at the `rTail Village Inn (VVI) Phase V is 70 feet tall, and the eave is 50 feet. 'I'he high part of the proposed Sonnenalp structure is largcr than the slender tower aE VVI, but it wilf be 14 feet shorter. The Vail Village Master Plan ealls for stnictures an this portion of the site to range from 3 to 4 stories. This part of the building falls into that range with the highest part of the tower liavin; 4 floors, (]ne of the benefits of locating the mechanzcal an the roof is that the noise and exhaust drafks caused by the chillers will not irrapact adjacent properties. By lacating the chillers on the roof, the distance between the Chillezs and the prapercies reduces the irnpacts an surrounding development. Other locatzons on the site where chillers could be located would impact adjacent structures or public areas more tlzrec[ly. All of the west side of the site is adjacent to Vail Road. T1te north sid.e is adjaeent to IVfeadorv Drive. The east side is ad}acent to the T'alisman, o and the sauth side is adjacent to Gare Creek. If the nnechanical equipment were located on the ground, it would have ta be sceeened. 5taff would be concerneccl that a fence aroLind the ehillers wotlld nat be easily integrated inta a site pIan, and that the irnpacts from the mechanical would increase if located on the grnund. ~ 4 b. Parking 4D The amount af parking required for the addition is 36.7 or 37 spaces. The existing parking lot has 101 spaces in it. As a result, the totai supgly should be 138 spaces. The applicant is propasing I08 spaees, including 12 vaiet, which is 21.7% less than the requirement. Variance to Supplv ReQUi.rement: Staff understands that there are trade- i offs between providing parking spaces and usin~ area within a parking Iot for landscapzng. Generally, additional landscaping within the parking lot improves the relationshig to the surrounding uses and stnactures. Given that, staff believes the variance request to reduce the nufnber of spaces required, and provide addicional Iandscaping, impraves the reIationship ta the surraundin~ area, especially gzven the staff's parking analysis for this praperty. Variance to EnclosLire Reqcairement: Beeause 57% of che parking will remain open, and because the Public Accommadation secfion of the zoning, code only allaws 25% to remain open, the applicant needs a varianee. Ideally, the paricing would be located undergrotind, eoznpletely "screened." Staff has spent time in the paricing lots of the Talisman and Sonnenalp, and has spent tirne discussing the tandseapinb issue with the architect. The psopQSed landscapin; plan has been ~ designed around the cQncept to: 1) increase the amount of landscaping around the perimeter of the parking lot on the berm, 2) provide, to the extent possible, a band of landscaping running chraugh the central part of the parking lot, and 3} increase the arnoeant of landscaping at the base af the buildings. Staff beIiEVes this parking lot design is a good balance between supplying parking spaces and screening them with Ianctscaping. In addition t4 the landscaping ta be located in the interior of the parlcing 1Qt, the applicant will be reconstructint- the bus stap area, redeszgning the area in front of the Swiss Haus entrance, and replacing 6 parking spaces by zhe Iaadxng dock wich dandscaping. Ciiven these improvements, which a1l include landscaping, in addition to the fact that the parrlcing lat landscaping exceeds the code standLird by 4%, staff ~ believes the parkinb lot will be screened sufficiently from stjrz'otinding uses. Without the landscapin;, staff believes the relationship of the proposai ta the surrounding uses is unacceptable. ~ 5 ~ c. Common Area Staff believes the amaunt of comman area requested by the applzcant ~ affects the sursounding uses and struetures in that it adds sornewhat to ' the mass and bulk of the prQposed structure. Appraxiznately half of the ' comman area wzll be located in the basemen[ levels. In general, staff believes the size of the structure is reasonable, and this variance request does not generate negative impacts. The structure has been designed so that it is 25.7~'a under the ailowable sitc coverage. Given that the site cvverage has not been maximized, the mass and bulk resulting frorn ttie ~ additionaY cammon aarea is .reasonable. Addztional analysis of the mass anti bulk of the struc[ure wilI be provided under tne Vail Village IViaster ~ Plan sectian of this memca. 2. The de,Uee to which relief from the_s_trict_and literal interpretation and enforcement of a.specified reaulation is necescary to achieve compatibility and tjnifarmity of treatrraent amang sites in the vicinity or tq aEtain the obiectives of this title withc,ut rrttnt of s]2ecial priVilegc. a. Height ~ The height varianee As needed because the appIicant is proposing to extend the roof to screen mechanical equipmenc. Because portions of most mechanical systems a.re loCated on the roofs of lar4e buiPd'angs, staff bePieves there is not a grant of special privilege. The mechanical system far this building has been designed so that mast of it is in the basement. A flue runs through the building from che basement mechanical area within the tower to this part of the raof. Because of . the Iocations of these parts of the mechanical system, locating the exterior portion of the mechanical system an the rnof of the cower is logical. Given the design of the mechanical system, t'he applicants have attempted to sereen the expased part of the nnechanical by extendinb the roof. Staff believes this is a mtich more aesthetically pieasing solution than the typical screen wall foUnd an other buildings. Staff did not believe that xhis part of the structure coulci be approved without a variance, however. Though we determined that it had to be considered as structure and not an architectural projection, we believe it is a gaod design solution for an issue common to rnany large buildings in tpwn. ~ I fi ~ The puzpose af the roaf in this location is strictly to screen the ~ mechanical. There i5 no GRFA wzthin the structure that exceeds the 4$ foot height limit. Town staff belieVes the architect kias planned ahead and incarporated the mechanical into che building. Given the cornprehensive apgroach Ca the desibn of this project, as weli as the fact the purpose of the hei;ht variance is strietly to enclose the rnechanical, staff can support this request. i I b. Parkirtg ~ Variance, to Srapplv Requzrement: The appl'zcant is requesting a 21.7% va.riance to the parking scandac't[; 7$.3~'0 of the requiremen[ vvill be provided. In 1989, the planning depariment staff clict a sttidy of parking lots within the Town. Staff determined the percentabe of parking spaces utilized in rnany different 1ots during pealc weekends becween Deeeznber 29 and July 1. The Bavaria Haus parking lot was ane of those studied. Of the 21 times staff checked this parking lot, only 2 times was it utilized more than 70%. The appPicants are proposing ta , supply 7$.3% of the total requirement. The two times wliich did exceed ~ this amflunt were December 30 between 11:00AM and 2:30PM and ~ January 18 between 6:OOPM-7:4flPM. The average tttilization of this parking lot over the six month periad was 55.2alo. SEaff believes the proposed 78.3% will pravide a reasonable number of spaces, ;iven chat ~ there were few rimes when more spaces were needed. Staff is proposing to reduce the lodbe parking reqtiirement for the Town I slightly, based on this parking analysis. The change will be proposed through the zoning cade amendment process currently underway. The departrnent feels comfortable wich the reduction in parking as the property is a lodge use, and the reducrion does not conflict with aetual parking nurnbers from the study. Providing spaces according to the study's conclusion is reasonable in this instance, and maices the general proposal compatible with actual demand far lodge parking wichin the Town. Variance to Enclosure Requirement; Staff believes the applicant has i included a reasonable nurnber af landscaped islands witEiin the parking lot, and has iiicreased the amaunt of plantinlg around the perim.eter o#' the parking so that the goal af sereening it from the pubIic has beeai reasonably achieved. The fact that no spaces are presently enclosed, and that same will be enclosed (16 spaces) is an improvement ta the appeazance of the parking lot. In addition, the spaces alona Vail Road by the Ioadina dock will be remaved, reducing the public's view of parking significantly. The fact tha[ the appiieant is exceeding the cade ~ 7 ~ standard far interiar landscaping witYcin the parkina lot, and that the applicant is increasing the lartdscapinlc, on the perimeter, justify a variance to this requirement. Based on the appearance of the parking lot design, staff 6elieves it will be a compatible treatnienk with other sites in the vicinity. c. Cammon Area Most of the common area of the project is faund in a few large areas. These include the basement at agproximately 20,000 square feet, the spa area of approxxmately 10,000 square feet, and the lobby at apprflximately 5,000 square feet. The partion flf the basement to be built under the auto caurt wiIl be built on two levePs and will be able to structurally support automobiles. In the future, the agplicant may constnact underground parking garages, which will tie inEO these two levels. The hallways throughout the building make up the remainder of the common area at approximately I5,000 squaret feet. The Town of Vail zoning code standard far common area in multi- family develapment has recently been increased from 24% af total GRFA ta 35% of allowable GRFA, and has been defined in a new way. Though this praject was submi[ted prior to the adoption of the new ~ eode, it is important to provide the bac4cground of the code change far this memo. In the analysis of this code revzsion,, staff took into account the many differeni kinds of mzilti-famiiy development. 011 one end af the spectnim are residential condominiurn prajects with very little ' common area, and an the other aa'e lodges that usually have a greater amount of common a.rea. In order ta balance the two types of development, staff had recommended 35% for the code standard. The 35%, however, reflects a compromise. Even during tjie zoning code amendrrient pracess, staff acicnawledged that sarne vzyriances will still be needed for mulci-use 1otiges, like the S4nnenalp. 3. The effect of the requested variance on Tight and apr, distribiition of pppulation, transportation and traffic facilities, pLablic tacilities and utilities, and publie Sa#ety. a. Height The one impact which the height of the buildin; cauId haue on the above-referenced issues involves Iight and air. The shadow this building will create will be much Pess tha.n what the previous proposal would have caused. Staff believes the 165 foot setback from Meadow Drive to the wing para11e1 ta Meadaw Drive is adeqeaate to protect ~ 8 . -Meadaw Drive frQm shade. The tower is closer to Meadow Urive than ~ the rest af the buipding and may shade it for some time. Staff believes the 56 height, the 100 faat setback, and the relatively narrow tower width of 40 feet, are such that the shadow impacts will be reasonable. b. Parking ~ The propased design for the parkzng lot affects transportation and traffic facilities, speci£ically the circulation within the parking lot and access to the parking lots. Staff believes that, as a part o€ Khis approval, the Town should require the Sonnena.l.lp to prbuide an access easement to the Talisman. Currently, the Talisman residenEs drive throuoh the Sonnenalp parking lot to reach the Talisman parkiii- Zot. Staff believes this solution works well and should be made permanent. Tn addition, the access easement frorn the Talisman parking lot to Meadow Drive should be abandoned. Staff believes this will insure the quality of the pedestrian area on Meadow I7rive, insure pubIic szxfe[y, and will maintain the functions af the existing transportation and traffic facilities in this part of Town. 5taff does not believe there are any ather impacts from the variance requests to tEie supply requirement or the enelosure requirements on the above-referenced cziteria. c. Cvmman Area I 0 Tlae variance request for additional common area has no impact on the above-listed assues. d. Transportatian The 'I'own's engineer has reviewed the propasal, and has stated that any fu€ure expansion of the SonnenaIp, which may incluae cornrriercial facilities, will require a left-hand tuzn lane to be bt3ilt in Meadow Drive. As the buzlding 7 in the area of the auto court has been designed so that it does not encroach into the fzon[ setback, there is enaugh room far such a turn 1ane. However, some landscaping would need to be remaued. At ttzis time, a Ieft-hand turn lane is nUt needed. 4. Other Factors and Criteria ~ i , a. Landscaping There are six czitical areas of the site where staff believes gaod landscaping tmatment is critical. The first is the corner o£ Vaif Road ~ 9 I . ~ and 1'vleadaw Drive. Currently there is an electrieal switching gear statian on the corner. The applicant has deleted the plan to build a wall around the switching gear to screen it. Iristead, a softer treacrnent o#' landscaping wiil be used. The edge of the Iandscaping will be expanded into the street, where toterns are currently located. The added Iandscaping will not impact txaffic flow, as pedeskrians ate the only users of this part of the street. The second area of concem is the bus stop along Meadow Drive. Currently tke bus stop is situated between twa railroad rie waiI planters. The concrete in the area has deteczorated. The applicant will be replacing the concrete with pavers and rebuilding the planter walls with i baulders, if necessary. Additionat landscaping will also be provided in tl the area, whicn will also help ro screen the parking lor. ~ S A thzrd area of concern ta the staff is the area adjacent to tht Swiss Haus entrance. Though this area is nat part of t41e Bavaria Halis parcel, the applicarat is redesigning the fire access paints in tk3is area as a requirement of this request. Fire trucks will not be able to aecess thraugh the auto court. In addiEion to relocating t6e planters to provide the correct angies for the fire tnicks to get into the parkinb areas, the applicant wi1P add larndscaping and pavers ta the front of the Swiss ~ Haus. A site plan will be presented at the hearing showing details in this area. In addition, the applicant will extend the benn east along Meadow Drive to the fire access points. The fourth area of concern ta staff is located actjacent to Vail Road by the load,ing dock area. TEZe applicant will be removing six of the seven parking spaces in this asea antl replacing them with landscaping. In addition to the landscaping, the applicant wi11 be constsucting a paver sidewaik from the corrier of Vail Road and Meadow Driwe to the briclge over Gore Creek. Szaf#' believes these changes will be wery posftive. AnoEher mQdifcation in this vicinity is an expansion of the BLGlIy and reductian of the d.ining deck. The deck w-ill be reduced by approxzrnately 350 sq. ft. Staff believes the deck reduetion is aeceptable, given the landscape improvements, removal of parking, and the fact tnat most of the dining deck semains. Other areas of concern include landscaping an the interior of the parking iot as well as augmenting the existing landscapin; on the berm a1ong Meadow I7rive. The berm Ianciscaping, will be planted with appraximately twice the nurx?ber of existinb bushcs and trees. Sce discussion above retatin,; to the parking lot interior 1lndscapinb. ~ 10 b. Stream Vt'alk ~ Staff has studieti the stx-eam tiract between Willow Bridge Roaci anct Vail Road. We considered impaccs to adjacent property awners and the stream environment, and believe that by benching the path in at a iower grade from surrounding property and screening it with vegekation, pedestrians would have very little impact on lc?dge guests. Far example, the areas alang the south side of the strearn by River House and Edelweiss provide a reasonable alignment since the first flaor of these structures are parking gara;es. Staff alsa believes that the kitchen, loading doek amd canference facilities of the Bavaria Haus would nat be impaeted by a srream walIc. Staff believes that a sensitive alignmerat would start by the Sannenalp Ioading doek on the north side, continue east past the conference faciIities, then cross aver to the Edeiweiss and the Summers Lodge properties. Staff thinks that it is impartant thai the Sonnenalp's pool anci garden area be designed to be pleasant for hotel guests as well as to be compatibie with a stream w1ik. The applicant has designed the landscape plan identifyin; a nairow path alignment. Staff is concerned that the alignment is tao narrnw and that the Tawn land shauld not be planted with vegetation that wQUld be in confliet with ttie constnictiQn and Iocation of a stream walk. Staff beFieves the alionment of the watk ~ . should be shown on the Zandscapinb plan, and that an adequate buffer, 24 feet, araund the path shouid be identified_ This buffer is neecied so that construction activities do not require cutring any trees down. Tn addition, staff believes tlie sod area of the pool area should be entirely contained on the private property of che Sonnenalp. Tfie Tnwn-owned stream tract shoutd be preserved nlturally, so that the eventual cozrsmzction of the stream walk is nat perceived as disrupting aprivate area. 1%Ve wovld want to see the plth graded inco the site with this proposal to minimize further disturbance. The applicant has agreed ta remove the existing iFghts on Town of Vail property which ill«minate the landscaping, and that no lighis wili be reinstalled withoLit Design Review Board approwal. C. Employee Housing With the adoptian of the Town af Vail Affordable Housing Study on Noverriber 20, 1990, housing is an issue that must be addressed with appiications such as these. At this time, the report ha:s been aciopteti and provides guidelines far new development. The repor['s recommendations are currently beina ineorparated into the Zoning Code. The Land Use Plan also calls for employee hnusing by stating: ~ 11 i Goal 53 -"Affordable employee housing should be made ~ available throragh private effOrts, assisted by lirnited incen[ives, provided by the Torvn af Vail, with apprnpriate restrictions." Although the applicant believes na additional erraplpyees will be generated as a result of this redevelopmenr, staff believes a redeveIapment af this magnitude ,should have some permanent employee hausing located fln site or aff site. The hausing anaTysis equates square fqotage to number of emplayees, and thaugh concegtual as to recommendations, suggests a certain number af eenpioyees for different types of uses. The repart is being prepared by Rosall, Remmen and Cares. The recommendations are based on surveys of businesses in Eagle, Routt, Sumrn,ik, Pitken and Blair (Sun VaIley) counties. Based on the information in the study, the increased floor areas will generate a need for additiQnal employees, as shown in the tables below: Existing Praposed 1986 1991 Difference Spa 403 9,693.1 9,290.I Common 3,061 4,328.7 1,267.7 Accessory 5,623 8,704.4 3,081.4 Rooms 80 90 10 ~ Preliminary Housinc, Study Increase iri Emplayer Nurnber af Floor Area Sq. Ft. Ratia* Aetditional Employees Spa Area 9,294.1 1l1000 9.3 Conference Facilities 1,267.7 1J100(} 1.3 Restaurant/Bar Area 3,081.4 5/I000 15.4 Rooms IQ .25/room 2.5 28.5 Total Employees * Employees/sq. ft. There are twa methods of calculating the number of restricted dwelling linits to be requested. The first recornrriended in the affordable hotising study suggests that developers hQuse 15% of the emPloyees required by expansions. This first method was zntended to be applied to "by right" projects. The second, which is intended to be used for those projects ~ 12 requesting sc{uare footabe above what the code allows, recomrnends the ~ applicant deed restrict enou;h housing uruts to cover 30% 0£ the additianaT ernplQyees. Using the first methad, 15% of the 28.5 additianal employees would result in 4.2 addirional employees requiring housing. Assuming that 2 employees will share a dwellang unit, the 4.2 is divicEeci by 2, restdldng in 2.1 or 2 dwelling units. The method which is required to be used for projeets involvin; varia.nces would be as follows: 28.5 x.30=8.6 8.6 / 2 = 4.2 or 4 dweliing units Scaff believes that, because the spa u'ea, the conference faeilities, and the restaurantJbar area Contribute to the variance request„ the applicant must provide housing for these areas. Because the applicant is nat over on GRFA or density, staff believes i[ would be reasonabIe nat ta requii•e employees for that portion oF the expansion. By deleting the GRFA camponent out of the equations, the first scenario would be as follows: 26.0 employees x .15 = 3.9 ~ 3.9 / 2= 1.95 or 2 cfwelling vnits The seeond method of calculatiQn would be as fallows: 26 x .3 T 7.8 7.8 / 2= 3.9 or 4 dwelling units The Sonnenalp employs approximately 270 employees during the winter season. Of these, the Sannenalp currently provides housing for approxirnately 145 employees. 33 dwelling units are owned by the SonnenaTp, h4using 67 emFloyees, a.ald 20 units are rented by the Sonnenalp, housing 7$ employees. This assumes that each bedroam hot7ses 2 Sonner;aZp emplr,Yees. Staff aclcnflwiedges that the applicant has voiuntarily adclressed the need for housing. However, in staff's opinion, it is not appropriate to z-ely on an employer's past record to solve the housing issue in our commitnity. W e believe that some of the housing pnvately held should be deed restricted co insure its perpetual use as employee housing„ or new housinb units should be canstructed on site. Staff believes that, for this request, the recommendations frorn the housing study shauld be ~ 13 i ~ ~ implerr?ented. SpecificaPly, staff recommends that for the areas requiring a variance, hoUSing shguld be deed restricted for 30°Io of the employees. In other words, 3.9 (or 4.0) dwelling units shotild be res tricted. B. Vail Village Master Plan The partians of the Vail Village Master Plan which pertain to this project include three subarea concepts and five illustrative plans. 1. Subarea cancepts. a. Subarea 1-2 - Vail Road Intersection. Subarea 1-2 states chat: "Passible realignment af interseetion in coaijunction with relocation of ski museurn. Focus of redesign shovld be to establish a small park and pettestzian entry for the west end of [he Village, and to provide a uisual barrier to discourage vehicular traffic f'rorri heading south on Vail Roacl from the 4- way stop. Specific design of ski rnuseum site to be included in West Meadaw Drive Pedestrian 7mprovement Project. Tht pedestrian conneciior? both north and south along Vail RQad ~ should be imprQVed." Staf`f Respanse: Staff believes this sUbarea concept has been addzessed, as t'he appiicant wili be building a sidewallc fram this intersection to Gare Creek aIong `Jail Rozd. In ldditian, the landscaping to be planted in front of the transforsner should imgrove tlze appearance of this intersection. b. Subarea 1-3 - Sonnenalp (Bavaria Ha«s) Infiit. Subarea 1-3 states that: "Commercial infill development with second floor reside ntial/lodging to enclase Meaciow Drive and to improve the quality of pedestrian experienee. Designated wallcways and plazas with green space shQuld intcrface with thase flf the Vail Viilage Inn. A pedestrian walkway (possibly arcade) should be provided to encourage pedest-ian cisculation physically removed frorn Meadow Drive. Mass of building should not create a shadow patcern an Meadow Drive. Deveiopment will require ' eoordinatinn and/or involvement with adjacent property owners. I Existing and new parlring demand to be provided an site." ~ 14 Staff Response: Shading on ivleadow Drive is no ianger an ~ impact With this project. Because the applicant has chosen to renovate the existing wing of the building, there is now a 165 foat distance between the edge of Meadow Drive and the east wing of the building. The adjacent surface parking and rernoval of mast of the planting island in the center of the existing parking lat rediices the qualicy of the pedestrian experience along Meadow Drive. The additianal landscapin; to be planted in the berm along Meadow J.7rive hePps provide sorne enclosure to Meadow Drive, and screening of the p,arking. The bus stop improvements also will comply with this subarea concegt. c. Subzirea 1-9 - 5tudv Area: Village Strearti Wallc. "Study of a waiking only path alrang Gore Creek between the Cavered Bridge and Vail Road, connecting to exz5ting stream walk, further enhancing the pedestrian network throughout the VilIage and providing pubiic access to the creek. 5pecific design and locatian of waikway shal.l be sensitive tn adj2cent tjses and the ereek environment. " Staff Response: Staff belteves this element can be reasonably ~ incorparated into the propased design and site plan. We believe this a.menity is in the best interesis of the community, and can be added to the site plan without impacting the Sonnenaip Hotei. Appropriate creek crossings, and grading which provides for the teail to be benched in at a lower eFevatiQn than the pool, can be done in a way that is campatible with the courtylyd area of the hotel, and shoulci be shown an the site plan as discussed above. 2. Illustrative Plans i a. Zllustrative Plan - Land Use 1. North side of Sonnenalp site - iYXised use "This category includes the historic Villaae coa'e ana properties near the pedestrianized streets of the Village. Lodgrng, retail and limited amoUnt of office Lise are found in this catebary. With nearly 270,000 sq. ft. of retail space, and approxi3nately 320 residenzial units, the mixed use character of these areas is a majar faetQr in the appeal of the Villa;e.," ~ 15 ~ Staff Response: The camrnercial rerail has been deleted from the prevxous proposal. As a result, the hotei facility will not have as rriany uses as the Land Use Illustration Plan Galls for. There still will be restaurant and bar use apen to the public. 2. Souch Side of Sonnenalp Site - MediuFnlhigh derasity residentaal and mixed use. Medium/high density. "The overwhelrning majority of the ViIlage is lodbe rooms and condorninium units are lacated in this land use catecrory. Approxirnately 1,100 units have been developed an the 27 acres of grivate land in this categQry. In addition, anothet 110 units are approved bLit unbuilt. It is the gaal of this plan to maintain these areas as predpminantly lodging orienteci, with retail develapment limited ta small amaunts af accessory retail." Mixed use. "This categary includes the historic Village care and properties near the pedestrianized streets of the Village, f Ladging, retaiZ and limited amount af office use are found in this category. With nearly 270,0(}0 sq. fc. af retail space, anci approximately 320 residential unxts, the mixed use character of ~ these areas is a rnajor factor in the appeai of the ViFlage." Staff Response: The praject complies with the designatian of ~ medium/high density, as it is nearly at the maximum alloweci ; nurnber af accommodation units for the praperty. The fact that all of the units will 6e accommodatian units is a positive benefit to the Village. b. Illustrative Plan - Open Space The plan calls for: 1. A planted buffer is to be created on the corner of Vail Road and Meadow Drzve. 2. Plazas with green space are ta be created between the Sanner?alp and Phase V, as weil as between the Talisman and VVI sculpture piaza. 3. Open space is designated along the entire stream corridor. , ~ 16 Staff Response: ~ 1. Planted Buffer: Staff believes that the additional landscaping on the carner aF Vail Raad and Meadow Drive fulf'~lls this element. 2. Plazas: With the renavarion of the bus stop and the reworking af the Swiss Haus entry> the twb areas shawn on the illustratzve plan for plazas will be improved. Full scale plazas, as shown on the illustrative plan, as well as the Vail Streetscape Plan are nat i apgropriate to require from the deveioper at this time, as a future ~ cammercial exgansion may affect the design af these areas. i Staff beliewes the work that will be done in these twa areas is in , comgliance with the cancepts af the iliusrrative plan. 3. Open Space Corridar: See discussion under stream walk above. ~ c. Ialustrative Plan -Parkin;; and Circulation The plart designates: 1. East Meadow Drive as a bus route and pedestrian street with plazas; and 2. The Gore Creek corrid,or as a study area for a walking path. ~ Staff Response: East Meadow Drive will continue to function as it does nQw. We recommend that the aceess easen2ent for the Talisman be vacated as discussed above, sa that access onto Meadow Drive can be avaidecl, anct the pedestrian nature of Meadow Drive can be preserved. Staff believes the proposal should incorparate a stream walk. d. Illustratiwe P1an - Building Height The area along East Meadow Drive is recommended tca be a maxirnum of two Co thzee staries. Three to four scories are designated an the sauthern 3/4 of the property. Staff is pleased the current proposal corrtplies with the height pZan. E1 majarity of the facade along Vail R.oad is three stories high, cvith the buildin- going as high as four stories at two locations. The center of the sike includes a wing that goes as hig'h as four srories, which camplies with tfle desibnation of the height glan. ~ 17 ~ C. Vail Streetscape Master Plan The Streetscape Plan caJ.ls for two pedestrian plazas along East 1vSeadflw Driwe. St2ff believes a cantribution to the treatment along Easc Meadow Drive is necessary, and that the upgrade ta the existing eastbound bus stop, the improvement to the iandscaping along East Meadow llrive, and the reworking of the area in front of the Taiisman and Swiss Haus generally futfills the standards of the plsn. Staff believes the improvements are in genera.l compliance wzth the cancepts of the Streetscape plan. D. Findings The Plannzng and EnvirQnmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will not eanstztute a grant of special priviiege inconsistent with the limitations on other praperties classified in the same district. i 2. That the granting af the variance will not be detrimental to the public ~ health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. ~ 3. That the variance is warranted for one or rrtore of the follawing reasons: a. The stnct literal interpretatian or enforcement of the specified regulation wouid result in practical ciiffactilty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title, b. There are exceptians or extraardinary circurnstances or condirions appFieable to the same site of the variance that da not apply generally to o[her properties in the same zone. c. The stricz interpretEition or enforcement of the specified ~ regulatian would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the awners of other properties in the same distract. V. GUNCLUSIaN 5taff recnmmends approval af the three variance requests as the request meets the criteria atid finclings for a variaLnce. Concerning Finding number one, staFf beiieves that chere is not a grant of special privilege inconsistent with iirnitations on other properties for height, as ~ nzechanical areas are typically located an rooFs. 5creening the mechanicaI according to khe t8 ' proposed design is a soZution ihat integrates the screening intQ the building we11. Analysis of ; parking dernands in the Towan suggests that the code requirements exceed the utilizatiQn demands, and tha¢ as a rule, 4cadges do not require as much parking as the zoning code zequires. Lastly, the increase an cdmmon aPea is not an uncamman occurrence. Comrc,+on areas for fuAl service resort hatels typically exceed the amQUnt alIowed by code, as the code requirement pertains to several different types vf rnulti-farnily development. Coneeming the secand finding, staff believes that none of the requested vltiances will be detrimental to the public healch, sa.fety or welfare. Ccancerning the third finding, staff believes that strict interpretation of the code regarcling height worald resutt in a practical dif£'iculty. Locatinb the mechanieaI equipment on the roaf is a reasonable solution that is commonly done. Locating it elsewhere on the site would not be as practicll, and wQUld possibly result in greater impact to adjacent properties. Staff beIieves a strict enforcement of the parking regUlatiOn i5 npt necessary, based on staff research, anci that enforcement of that regulation would be an unusual and unnecessary reqUirement of the Sannenalp 1Qdge. Concerning common area, staff believes, again, that a srrict enforcernent of the common area regulatiQns is not in iine with whzlt many of the atfier lad~es in town enjoy, and that a stirict enforcement is not ap~rropriate. Therefore, the Comrnunity Development Departrnent recommends approval of the three variance requests for [he Sonnenalp renovation, vvich the folIowin~ conditions of approval: 1_ Prior to Design Rewiewv Board appravaI, the applicanc shall subrnit a Site plan showing IZ) ~ in detail the descripcions of the followinb areas, as referenced on t}ie site plan clated JLily 8, 1991: a. The carner of Meadow Drive and Vail Road shall inclutie vertical laneiscaping to screen the transforrner, anti shall be appraved by tlie Town Engineer. b. Detailed information as to the qijantity, species and size of landscaping to be planted at the base af the building sha,11 be provided. This landscapinc shauld inelude a variety of trees, including aspen and spruce. c. The bus stop plans shall be drawn in detail to shotiv seating, pavers, boulder retainage (instead of ties), gedestrian access to the parking lot, as well a.s landscaping. d. The berm alon; 1Vleadaw Drive sh~,ll be extend~ed as far east as possible, appraxiznately tQ the fire access points. The annount of landscaping along the berm shall be approximately doubled. ~ Ail flandscaped islands within the parking 1ot shall include coniferaus and ' deciduous trees. ~ 19 i ~ f. The fire access ta be built between the Talisman and Sonnenalp parking lots shall be constcucted aut of gavers, and shall be designed to replace the existing access between the two areas. Any iandscaping that is to be remaved shall be I replaced within the parking lpis in a different location. ' g. A fise access turn arflund shall be designed in front of the Talisman to meet the standards of the Tnwn of Vail Fire Depaz-tment. Access onto MeadQw Drive via the reeorded easement shall not be an option to meet the Fire Department access requirements. The area in front of the Swiss Haus entrance shall be , redesigned to accammodate fire tzuck acccss. A combination of landscapin.g and pavers shall be planned in this area to create a plaza, according ta the concepts of the Streetscape plan. h. The applicant shall carnply with the staff recammendations on the stream waIk found in Secrion 4b of the Ynemo. The alignment of the walk shaZl be indicated on the landscape pIan, a 20 faot buffer be provided for construccaon of the walk, and preliminary grading for the path inclGided in the landscape plan. (If the PEC does not concur with this candition, sttiff believes all proposed lanciscaping on the Town of Vail stream tract shzll be rernaved from the Iandscape plan.) Tovs,rn-owned Iand shalt be zewegetateci after constructi4n ta a natural state, and shall not be mawed or incorporated into the pool courtyard area. ~ i. All landscaped lighting on Tov,m of Va.il land shall be removed as part of the renovati:on. Any new landscape ?ighting to be installed shalI first be agproved by the Design Review Board. ~ 2. Przor ta the issuance of the building permit for the renovarion, the applicant sha11; a. Frovide detailed engineering drawings o#' the curb and gutter and sidewalk alflng Vail Road for the review and approval of the Town Engineer. b, Dedicate an access easernent frorn Vail Road to the Talisman parleing lot. Additionally, the exxsti.rag access easement frflm Nleadow Drive to the Talisman parking iot shall be vacated. ~ c.

A request for a worksesszon for height, parking and density (GRFA/comrnon area) variances far the Sonnenalp, Part of Lots K & L, Block 5-E, Vail Village First FilinLrJ 20 Vail Road. ~ Appiicant: Sonnenalp Properties Planner: Andy Knudtsen Kristan Pritz explained the changes in the prnposal frvrn the one submitted severat months previously. These included asking for variances for coinamon area/aecessory use, height and parking, instead of proposing a 5pecial Development Distnct. Kristan explained the issues staff believed were irnportant to discuss, and these included the propased parking, landscaping, employee housing, and a stream walk. At the ccanclusion of Kristan's presentatian, Jay Pecerson, the applicant's representative, further expiained the propQSal, iltegarding the parking, day indicated applicants were workiztg with the staff Co reach a compromise between the number of spaces provid.ed and interior Iandscaping. The height variance was being requested in order ta accommodate "chillers," a form of cooling far the rooms, in an enclosed area of the roof to most effectively screen the bulk annd naise from the units. Jay presented applicant's positian that a 35% allowance for cornmQn area in a IOQ% lodge projeet was not sufficient. A first-class facility would usually have a greater demand for common area. He indicated that the GRFA for the praject was actually below that which was permitted for the site. ~ ~ 1 _ Regarding staff's streatn walk recammendatzon, Jay pointed out that it was a study area, and ~ not a concept specifically designated in the Land Use Plan. He stated it was valici, hawever, to ensure that the project was not develaped in such a way as to prohibit future stream walle develapment, and the propasal did anot prevent such development. Staff s recommendations had included exploring the provisian of employee housing with this pz-oposal. Jay pointed out that the expansion was going to only add an additianal 10 sleeping rocams, and there would be no staff a.dditions necessary to accomrnodate the redevelopment. ray alsfl observed that the amount of additional parking requiared under the proposaJ was due to the size of the rooms. Altliough the raams wauld still only accammadace 2 peaple, the size was increasing the parking space per raom pereentage. 7im Wear, the attorney for the Talfsman Condominiums, stated the Talisman vuas generally in favor of the proposal, and reicerated that the strearn walk should be looked at only 35 a 5iiidy item. Kristan askeci if the Talisman and Sonnenalp had salved the access easement question, and Jim replied they had, and the two generally had a gaod working relationship. Jim feli the easement eould be resolved. i Ludwig Kurz asked if some of the outside d.ining area wouid be lost. Kristan indicated it would be paaxttzally infilled. Ken a'Brien, the Sonnenalp's architect, stated the additianal space in the dining portipn on the east side of King Ludrwig's would rraake ug for che loss on the dining deck. Kristan stated approxirnately 350 sq. ft. of the dining deck would be ~ ~ ~ removed. Luclwig believed the amount of common/accessory space was absolutely necessary for the project, and was important far the crearian of a first class facility. He did not cansider tne height variance to be much of a problem, as iC was a trade ofF for better concealing the chillers. He did question i£ the chillers wauld create a sound nuisance. Ken answered they would nat, as the sound would be directed upward. Ludwib suggested that with ttie efficiency of parking the Sonnenalp was able to maintain thrQUgh strict controis, the shortfall was acceptable, especially in iight of staff's study finding the actual usage of the lot to be less than 100%. He recommended additionai Iandscaping be subsrituted for same of the paricing. Ludwig was hQpeful the projeet would not neglect the possibility of a cam,patibIe futcare strearn wauc. He believed a steeam wallc would enhar?ce the Sonnenalp's guests' experience. He recommended the deveZo,per continue to eonsider the optian. Addressing thc overall landscaping of the propQSal, Ludwig believed some areas of the project couid be improved. He specifically cited that the railroad ties eould be removed in existing planter areas, particularly at the Meadaw Drive bus stop. , 2 ~ Chuck Crist stated he had liked the prewious proposal, and liked the current propasal as well. He stateti he belzeved the roorn size accounted for the amount of parlang addressed by the l . variance requesta and the va-iance was reasonable. He faund the amannt of common area necessary for this project. He did have a coneern, however, with the landscaping plan. His specific concern was with the parking on the north side of the btiiiciing. He questioned the removal of several large trees, and encouraged znore landscaping in that general area. Chuck did nQt wanc to see the futui`e potenrial fflr a stceam walk jeapardized, but he did not think zt was necessary for the developez to build a portion at this time. Chuck cited the developer's excellent record far providing housing far his employees, and did not feel an additional burden should be placed on the developer to provide employee hQusing. Overa.ll, Chuclc faund the project to 1ae pretty gaod. Ludwi; added to his comment regarding his con.cern with comrnQn area, stating that since the site coverage was under the allowable, he did not have a further prablem with the proposal. ' Jirn Shearer eommented he wauld like to see the northwest corner of the lot landscaped if the Town af Va%1 Public Warks wauld find this option acceptable. He found the plan to include improvements to landscapin'g, but encouraged even mare landscaping. 7ay Petersan stated they wouid work with staff, but he asked if it were a question of parldng or landsca.ging, which would be preferable? Jim believed landscaping vvas more important for this project. Regarding the streain walk, Jim wanted allowances for a future stream wallc to be made, but did not want ta require the developer ta build it at this tzme.. Jim faund the heibht not onTy justi~iable for a variance, but an attrac[ive addition to the project. He stated it was a beautiful plazi. He also found the request for a parking variance acceptable, giuen the walet and gate cantzols, as well as the larger sized rooms. Jim was pteased with the mass and buLk of the buiIding, and felt it would be a landmark. Since the Faesslers had a history of being very cancerned with housing their employees, he found na reasor? to require addiricanal hcausing as part af this proposal. Diana Donovan supported Ludwig°s comments, but questioned what t'he chillers' exhaust would consist nf. Ken f]'Brien stated it was mostly warm air and humidity, but not "pollutian" per se. Diana approved of the h.ezght request, stating it made sense in this znstance to address the chillers in this tnanner rather than as an a£ter thought. The applicant , proposeci an up front solution. "I'he parking alsa worked in this case, Diana believed, due to the controls tlie Sonnenalp imposed oaer parking in their lots. She would, however, like xo see additianal Iandscaping, especially landscaping near buildings ta soften the impacts. She stated the improvements proposed for the bus stog area would be positive. The Swiss Haus area by the fre access shauld aTsa be "spiffed" up. She differed from the applicants' opinion on the stream wa]k, stating that in her rnind it was an adopted amenity in the Recreatianai Trails PZan, and would like to see it wflrked into the site piarrning, even if it were just roughed in at this rime. ~ 3 / Diana stated the cammon area vazia.nce made sense, but she agreed with staff that employee ~ housing should be addressed. While a coupie units rnight nat really fit in with this proposaI, ~ she did not believe it was fair to require other developers to require the housing without getting guarantees from this progosal. Gnuck Crist asked haw the site vvould be accessed far construction. Ken O'Brien stated there would be a crane for a short period of time. The current parking Iot would be used far a staging area. He mentioned tl3at canerete for the parking was alsa being considered to reduce the heat from asphalt. He stated the consttuction period would be appraximately S months, starting April 1, 1992. They hoped to have 100%v occupancy by Christmas, 1993 7ay Feterson thanked the CQmmissioners for their comments, and stated they weruld be back July S with a f nal proposal. 2. A reQuest_ for a front setback variance for the Schofield resid.ence, Lot 18, Block 3, Vail Valley First FilingJ1448 Vail Valley Dri.ve, Applicant: Iohn Schofielti Planner. Andy Knudtsen Shelly Mello presented the request for the front setbacic variance. The variance was requested in arder to allovr for a gu~age addition to the seeandary unit. In addition, staff asked the Cammissian to consider the request to place a driveway across the front of the lot to allow for turnarvund and parkinb. Althoubh no variance was necessary for the driveway request, ~ staff viewed this as an element of the zequest. Additional landscapimg was proposed for this ~ site. After reviewing the varianee criteria, staff recommended appraval of the varianee far the garage, citing findinSs 1, 2 and 3(b) in support with t17e condition the owners gain approval of the duplex property owner to encroach into the cammon area. Staff did not recommend approval vf the driveway pian as proposed. 7ohn Schofield explained that with the current ciziveway, when cars were in the driveway, there rrwas no way aut of the garage without rtnoving at Ieast one car. He believed the progosed driveway vvas a good salutian to backing out onto the raad, and would provide better access. He mentioned there were other property awners in the area with a similar driweway design. If Vail Va11ey Drive were to be widened, they, too, would be negatively affected. He was willing to accept that possibility. NIr. Schafield showed gictures to the Commission illustrating other owners' solutians. As he viewed his siluation, the anly other solution he savar was to widen the existfng driveway to allow for a straight shot. Additionally, he believed the Mugo pines should be remowed for safety reasons. Tom Baccus, an atidience member, asked where tYte gines were Iocated. Mr. Schofield showed where they were on the plans. ~ ~ 4 ; five currents and six mugo pines. Applicant sha11 contribute 1/2 of the cast to screen the existing dumpster. The dumpster shall be moved to the sauth end af the property as much as 'r possible; Iocation and scxeening must be reviewed and approved by the DRB. A,pplicant shail pave che entire access easement between Units 2 and 4 on Tract A. If possible, the paving area should be narrowed. In addition, landscapirig shauld be placed in the area where the paving has been removed. Jim Shearer seconded the motion. Tt was approved 7-0. 2. A request far a densxty variance far the Bernardo Residence, Unit 4, Tract B Bighorn Townhouses 4718 Meadc,w Drive #4B. Applicant: Bill Bernardo Planner: Mike Mollica The presentarion was made by Mike Mollica. A matifln was made by Kathy Langenwalter to apprave ttte request. Findings A, B, C(1, 2 and 3) were cited per the staff memo with the two cozaditions of approval as stated in the memo, with the following nnodificarions; Applicant shall contribute 1/2 of the cost to screen the exisring dumpster. The dumpster shall be moved to the sauth end of the property as much as possible; locatian and screening rnust be reviewed and approved by the I7RB. Agplzcant shall gave the entire access easement between Units 2 and 4 on Tract A. If possible, the paving area shauld be narrowed. Tn additzon, landscapzng should be placed in the area where the paving has been removed. Chuck Crist seeonded the motian. It was unanimousiy approved, 7-0 ~ 3< A re uest for hei ht arkingr and densitv variances for the Sonnenal Fart of I.ots K and L Biock 5-E Vail Village First Falina 2-0 Vail Road. Applicant: Sonnenalp Propertie5 Planner: Andv Knnudtsen Andy Knadtsen presented the staff rnemo and the proposal. Quesrions from the Cammissianers about parking, landscaping and access points were addressed with a modeI pravided by the appliea.rtc. Ken O'Brien indicated there would be no need for fire access to the building, as an intezna.l fire system would be installed. The Fire Departmenc had approved this plari. Staff recommended approval of the requests, with the conditions listed in the staff inemo. After a presentation of slides by Ken O'Brien, Jay Peterson exglained the proposal further. The Sonnenalp was proposing to add 10 large rooms, though only 2 geople wauld be stayinb in each room. Most aIl of the other rcaoms would be enlarged, causing an increase in the , parking requirernent. Accessory (restaurant) square footage would also be increased, thaugh only about 20 seats wauld be added. Spa a,rea was also proposed for an increase. Much of the prflposed expansion to the com,mon areas was to be located undergraund. Jay 2 ~ . ~ . ~ I ~ ~ said that since the applicatian had been made, the allowable camrnon area had been increased ~ to 35% from 2Q%a. If the application were resubmitted, he believed it would be less non- conforming than was indicated in the staff's memo. 7ay asked that the parking be evaIuated by need. T'he applicant had added landscapin,g since the proposal was viewed at the worksession, based on the Commissian and staff ~ recomrnendarions. 4nly a small mechanical space was causing the need for a height variance. Jay felt the bulk and mass of the building, as welZ as site coverage, had been wisely rased. Much of the space being expanded was bezng loeated underground. The proposed roof location was the best for the chilIers, as it would have the least irnpact on adjacent uses. He reminded the Commissian that there was na GRF'A located in the area for the height variance, Ken C)'Brien said it vvas very important the Planning Commission realize the Town af Vaii Master Plan called for the zedevelopment of the site. However, due to the current configuration of the project, not even ZO sq. ft. of common area cauld be added witltout a variance request. Regarding the density on the site, Jay said that even with the addition of 10 additional accommodation units, the project was under the alFowed density. in additian, there was still 11,000 sq, ft. of GRFA unused on the site. Turning to the issue af employee housi.zrg, Jay disaa eed with staff's camputation caf the number of employees generated by the expansion. He stated the redeveloFment might actually result in a decrea.se in the number of emptoyees necessary, as the curcent configUratian was extremely inefficient. He also said the Faesslers already supplied a great amaunt of hausing, and woulr3 continue to tia sa. Jay asserted the stream walk was a study area, and not an adopted part of the MasKer Plan. ~ He did not thinlc it was fair to require the applicant to canstruct it at this time, since it had noc yet been engineered. He said nathing in, the current proposai wauld grohibit the future developrnent af a stream walk by the Town. Kristan Pritz responded that the sta£f recommended that the la,ndscaping be designed ta allow the eQnstruction with as few impacts as possibie. Statf was advocatinc, the applicant eomplete rough garading for the path to allow the wallk to be accommodated in the future without having to cut down rnature vegetation. An alternative, as explained by staff, was to pull the Sonnenalp-pIanteci landscapang back to their property line and revegetate the Touvn land ta a natural state. Kristan alsa responded to ,Tay's comments regarding the number of employees staff believed could be generated by the redeveloprnent. Although the Rosall, R.emrnen and Cares repart had nat yet been officially adapted by the Town of Vail, the report had studied similar ski communities to determine the number of employees necessary for differenc types of develogment. 5taff simply used the report as a basis fcar evaluation. Kristan said employee ~ ~ 3 housang was a serious problein within the Tawn, and thac the housing need should be , addressed by developers of projects such as this. Rick Rasen, representzng the Villa Cortina Condorrainium AssociariQn and the First Bank Condominium Association, said that overall, the Association members believed it was a good project, and did nat have prabiems with the parking or common area variances. However, there was concern a'bout the height variance, with some af the Assaciation membership believinb the z~echanical equipment shnuld conform to the maximum 48' heighr Iimitatian. Mr. Rosen reminded the Commissioners to consider the findings which were necessary to grant a variance, stating the applicants had not proven a practical difficulty or physical hardship if the chillers were to be lacated on the graund. In additian, extraordinary circurnstances pertaining to chis develapment had nnt been proven, nor would there be a denial of privileges enjoyed by athers. He said the develapment seemed to be backing znto almost the SDD which had previously failed. T'here were also cancerns regarding a potencial Phase II retail development alang Meadow Drive. Mr. Rosen cancluded by requesting a height varianee not be granted, and the chillers be located on the g-round. - Jay Peterson disagreed, stating that the enelosure for the chillers was mflre of an architectural projection, and indicated that rnechanical units ean be placed above the maximum height with screening. Kz-istan agreed, stating there were many instances in the area where mechanica.l units had been placed on a roof at a later time, and weare not counted as exceeding the ~ ma:ximum height. Jay illustrated on the rencierings haw much the height would exceed 48 feet. He e:cplai.ned to the Commission that the noise impacts of the Medical Center's chiilers, were bothersome, even though they were behind a one foat concrete wall, and that elevaung the chillers to the roaf would be a much better solution. Jim Wear £rom the Talisman said that the Talisma:n Board of Diarectors had not yet reviewed the proposal, but had supported the previous plan, and believed this proposal had less impact, thougla a parking variance mxght prove to have same impact on the Taa,isman. He believed there were reasonable proposals regarding access to the Talisman. Hawever, until a germanent access easement was given to the Talisman, they would be reluctartt to vacate the current easernent frozn Meadaw Drive. Mr. Wear also said it would be unfair to buzden the Sonnenalp with cansttucting the 5txeam walk. At approximately 4:05, Gena Whitten left f4r a short period of time. Jim Shearcr asked haw fire access wauld be provided. 7ay Peterson said that there was no current fire access to the Talisman. He dgreed to cooperate with the Talisman to devise a better plan per the Fire Deparnnent reqcairement for a turnaround. 7im Wear reiterated there was a good working zelationship, and the access issue could probably be worked out. 4 f Chuck Crist a5ked for cYarificatian on the roof colar. Ken O'Brien said it would be a t' greenish patina, and would be conscrucced of copper. Chuck said he had no problem with the ~ i ~ height, and as far as the parking was concerneci, he said it looked as though the lot was never more tharr 70% full. With the increased landscaping, the parking was acceptable tca him, in appearance. Chuck commented on the common area, and said that the hallways alone would use np the allawable cnmmnn area, and therefare had no prpblem with thaE variance. Regarding the streaan vvalk, Chuck did not feel it needed to be constructed by the ovvner. Kathy Langenwalter asked 7ay if he would be willing to go along with icem H of' the conditions relating to the stream walk. Jay zeplied they did not want to do any gradin~ for the path, but would leave an 8' width. Andy said that $ feet may not be wide enough far construction, but would check wzch Public Works. Kristan Pritz pflinted out chat part af the condition was to work with the staff on the streazn walk. Jay respanded they would work with staff, and would space tlne lanciscapin; to ad}ust for a path. +Chuck asked Johannes how many additzonal employees he was anticipating. Johannes said he already has enQUgh employees. Since there would only he 10 additional rooms, and a more efficzent laun.dry, no additional emplayees would be needed. Hzs staiement was there could i be a few more or a fevv less employees than he cunently has. Chuck 5aid he understood the staff's recommendatian for empioyee housing, and he appreciated Sonnenalp's record of providing employee housing. He added that, perhaps, they could restrict one unit for ~ ~ empiayees. 3im Shearer had no problem with the height. He was cancerned with the pa,rking, and asked 7ohannes if the restaurant and bar were going to be increased in size, would the parlcing still be sufficient. .Tohannes answered that there were some days, such as the Fourth of July, when he would need mare parking. Oix those days, he would use more benmen and vaiet parking. i 7im suggestea that, should a future pmject an this site exgand [he cunenc plan, he would like to not d,iminish the requirements, bu[ have them meet the paricing standards in effect at thaz time. Regazding landscaping, he lilced the revisians, especially on the corner of Vail Road and Meadow Drive. He felt there was enough landscaping with the herm at the Swiss Haus. Regarding the stream walk, 7im did not believe it was necessary ta ask the Sonnenalp to consrruct it. However, he would like the landscaping pulled back so the strearn walk cQUld be constructed at a later time. He also would like to see a comr3nitment to not remonszrate against the stream walk added to the eonditions. Reaardang employee housing, Jim asked how many employees 4 units couid hold. Andy repYied staff presumed 2 to a unit, for a catal of Johannes discussed the ernplayee housin; problem. He said the problem with deea restrictions was that, when property value increases, he must have the ability to find other employee housing. Jim stated he did not worry about 7Qhannes, but he felt it would be setting a precedent. He said Johannes had been dozng a ~ 5 ~ . ; 1 good job suppZying employee housing, and would continue to do so, but that someane 0Ise rnight request the same privilege. Johannes sucrgasted that perhaps there was some Qther answer, rather than deed restriction. He did not feel a deed restriction was the cozxect way to do it. ~Diana Donovan asked Kzistan if, in the employee housing ordina.nce, employers could move the empIcryee housulg. Kristan replied there could be some flexibiliry in that regard built into the vrdinance. Johannes believed 4 units weze too nnany because he would not have 8 new employees. Jiin repeated that he thoughc a grecedent would be set if Johannes were not required to have restricted units fgr his employees. Regarding commQn area, Iim found no problem with the requesz. However, he wranted to ensure the cornman area was reduced with the next phass. Jay reminded Jim there was no "next phase" planned at that rime. Jirn also wanted the Sonnenalp to come to an agreement with the Talxsman regardirag fire access before finalizing the plan. Connie KFaight felt the design was beautiful, but asked if it wasn't just a first phase, and if the applicant wnuld came back for the add.itional building along Meadaw Drive. ray Peterson ~ said they rvould not. She had no problem with the applicant's gQSition on common area or ~ the stream walk. Her cancerrz was abaut garking. 5he believed the Town had to Iook past ' what was being used taiay, and did not want the paricing requirement reduced. Regarding the chillers, Connie requested this be studied to ensure there would be na negative effects. Connie quesrianed the ratio of guests to employees. Johannes said it was about 1:1, but were ~ currently at 1.5 emplayees for every guest. Connie thought that since they weze adding 20 more restaurant seats, mare parking wauld be necessary. Johannes clarified these were bar seats. Connie again questioned Johannes' statement he wauld need no more empFoyees. She felt she could accept a reduced numbee of ernployee units. Connie aIsa wondered if there should be a sun/shade study. Johannes said the shade wauld ~ be gaing into the courtyard, not into the public ri,ghts-of-way. Ken O'Brien pointed put the ~ Talisman was 48-50 tall, and were locatea claser to the road than this proposal. Connie did ; not think any apprflval should be given until the 'T`alisman access issues were resolved. ; Kristan and Andy believed staff, the Fiz-e Degartment, Talisman and the Sonnenalp could I resolve these issues, and it was listed as a candition of approval prior to any building perrnit being issued. Jay reiterated that they vvere aying to work out the issue. Jzm Wear stated he believed the issues could be resolved. Connie asked about fire truck access. Ken O'Brien sabd afl the fire trucks had to do was get to a siamese connection whieh could be placed anywhere along Vail Road. Ludwig Kurz said he was pieased to see the changes in the plan since November. He was glad rhe Faessiers had decided to stay in Vail, and felt it was a credit to them and the Town. ~ He believed the proposal was a good use of a wariance for the heights. He would, however F like to see a clarification in the code addressing nnechanical equipment, specifically staced if it is allowed abave the height limit. Regarding parking, he preferred to see lanclscaping instead ~ 6 af the full number of parlcing spaces, especially considering the contrals the SonnenalP ~ -`:~zz~aintained. Ludwig alsc~ a~,reed r,vith Ehe vazia~r~ce request for comr~.on area, stating 20% was inadequate. Ludwig bed'zeved trie deVeloper had an obligadon to develop astream wallc to improve the overall appeal af the Town. 5ince he viewed the stream walk as a bene~'it to the Sonnenalp itself, he asked that its future development not be preeluded. Coneerning erriplayee housing, Ludwi,g saici the Sonnenalp provided more than their share in the pas[. Jn Iight af their history, he suggc;sted restricting 2 units. Kathy Langenwal¢er generally supported the project. She was concemed, however, that the parking wouPd cantinue to be provided for restaurant uses. She also agreed with RicEc Rosen that the resuIt af the variances was almost an SUD, but she still believed they were reasonable. She felt strongly rlaat employee units should be providecf, if for no other reasan than to ensure that if there were a change in ownership, 4 units wauld still be available. Gena Whitten did not support the removal of the paricing, as she saw a definite need for as I much parking as possible. She found the z'+Qof structure to be a go' od architectural design. She a5ked that the possibility for stream walk development be preserved. i Johana?es Faessler pointed out that his parking demands and the demands in the par4cing ' ' structures was a.lmost opposite, with his highest demand in the surnrner, just when the ~ structures were at the lawest demand. Diana Donavan asked for clarification af the transfer of GRFA. Kristan explained ttiat permitted, accessory and conditaonal uses could noc exceed 80% of buildable site area. She pointed out that the project exceeded common area and the lfl% accessory limit for restaurant, retail and recreation, as weli as exceeded the .SQ iimit. Diana also asked if the sidewalk along Vail Road started at 1Vleadow Dzive. Ken C]'Brien said Pubiic Works would determine the specific design. Diana believed it was very important that access be clearly frorn Meadaw Drive. Ken said it would be cfifficult, but said they waula work with Public WarkS. Jahannes pointed out it was in his best interest to make the access as visible and accessibie as possible. Diana asked for a condition of appzoval that an attendant be required far parking cantrol to ensure it was available for restaurant use. She said she did not find the height a problem, as it was a case af planning ahead. She reminded the applicant that it would be acceptable to the FEC to lower the heibht if all the height were not needed to accommadate the chillers. She was in favor af definitely deed rescricting employee units, stating the Commissian needed to be consistezat. She suggested language similar to what was used far rhe VVI. She wanted a minimuzn of 2 units wirhin the Town. ~ ~ 7 Regarding ot,her condidons af approval, she asked that the heighC of the trees a1Qng the berm be maintained, that any new trees added should match that height, and that a statement be ~ made that the parkinb vau-iaztce madc at ttiis dme would not reduce the overall requireznent in the future, if an additiQn is buzlt. Overall, she disagreed witn staff's opinion that the zoning ' code parking requiremenc for accomrziodation units be adjusted. E Addressing the strearn walk, Diana believed it was an advpted plan, and said it vvould be an I asset to guests and be a nice vvalk to the Village. She suggested roughing-in the wallc, but ~ retaini.ng the natural landscape. In the altemative, she believed the Sonnenalp landscaping should be pulled back ta their property line and the Town property be revegetated to a natural ~ state. j A discussion ensued over what would be acceptable for an easement to the Talismari. Kristan said she would have n4 prcablem with a license agreement, rather than an access easement. Jim Wear said that without an easezrient, the Talisman wouid not be required or willing to ~ give up their ri.ghts to the existing access easement under the Code. The Sonnenaip proposal ~ was better than what currently exxsted, but not enough to give up theu interest in the easement. The Talisman was concerned that the pedestrian nature of East Meadow Drive be preserved, but they insisted on legal aceess. Kristan suggested a license agreement which ' would provide aceess, 6ut the access cQuld be moveci. 7im Wear asked for an easement with I' meets and bounds legal descrzption. 7im 5hearer suggested wording which stated an easement ~ acceptable to the Tcrwn, Talisman and Sonnenalp be worked out. Zay agreed, but said, the 1 Talisman should not be able to dictate the location. He caznmitted to prflviding access, ana ! suegested dedicating an access from either Willaw Bridge or VaiJ Raad with an izrevocable ! liCensing agreement to the Talisman garking lot. Jim Wear agreed, staeing as long as the Talisman had access, they wauld not request chat their easement along East Meadaw Drive to be apened. Regarding the stream wa1k, Jay suggested language which said the Iandscape pl~ would not preclude the Stream walk from being constructed. The plan would be designed to not necessitate removal of mature vegetation for the eonstruction. Johannes said he would have no probIem just landscaping the Sonnenalp land. Diana Donovan agreed with that suggestian. 7ohannes said it just did not make sense to require a rough-in of a plan which had not yet been designed. The Coramission concluded that no improvements to the stream tracr, wizh either a rQUghed-in walk or any Sonnenalp landscaping, be allowed. After a discussivn regairc3ing the specif'ic Ianguage af the conditions, Ludwxg Kurz moved to appsove the reqtaest for heAght, parking and density variances for ttAe Sonnenalp, part of Lots K and L, Block SE, Vail Village First Filing,20 Vail Raad per the staff inerno with the following condirions: 1.

I note tha# the Planning and Environmental Carrrmission of the Town of Vail is meeting on January 13 and will consider the Sannenalp's application far a deviation from the Town Code. I will bE back in Califarnia on that date and cannat attend the meeting but want you to know that as the owners af two (2) ! un€ts in the Talisman Candominiums and a family that has awned our Vail property for 32 years that we fully support the Sonnenalp appVicatsarr. We have grsat fai#h in the Faessler family's ability to produce a quality praduct. The big prob4em wath #he propased develapment is #he problematic vehicular access to the Tafisman. We will be landlocked absent ingress and egress from our easement to East Meac4ouv Drive. I believe that access is detrimentai to the Tcawn's plans far East NEeadow Driwe and also presents great safety issues for the Talisman arvners, Redestrians on East Meadow Driwe and is not in keeping w4th the future beautification ofi the street. ~ 7he only sound solutian is to revert to the proposed cooperative pragram between the Sonnenalp and the Talisman wherein the Talisman would have some limited surface parking access and the basic parking of Talisman vehicles would be within the proposed underground parking garage. Any other arrangement will in the long run anly be a poor substitute measure fa the detriment of the Vail ambiance. I wi61 be back in Vail an January 24th if you care to talk further abaut this.

DiSCUSSIQN ISSUES The purpose af this worksession meeting is to allow the applicant an apportunity to present the reVised proposed plans to the Planning anei Environrnental Commission and to provide the applicant, public, staff, and the CommissiQn an opportunity to identify issues far discussion at a future meeting. The Commission ~ is not being asked to take any formal positicans on this applicatian at this time. However, staff has identified five (5) issues at this time that we believe should be discussed. The issues are: a , Camplete Develoqrnent Application a The Town flf Vail has reviewed the deueloprnent application submitted by the applicanf's representative for completion and compliance with the prescribed submittal requiremertts. CJpon cflmple#ign of our (Gommunity Developmen#, Public Works, and Fire Department) rev`rew, it has been deterrnined that additional infflrmation is required to be submitted and reviewed before any final decisians may be made by the reviewing boards. Niany of these issues have already been communicated to the applicant. 4thers have not. For reference purposes, the fallawing informatian is needed: • A vicinity plan which inclucies the Galatyn Lodge, Ramshorn Condominiums, and the ViEla Valhalla Condominiums. • A complete landscape plan prepared in accordance with #he , requirements outlined on the Town of VaiE developrnent revisw application • A complete se# of street section drawings that illustrate the stree# enclosure of the proposed lodge and surrounding area. • A c9mplete and accurate roof plan with existing and proposed grades shown undemeath tQ be used in the defermination of building height. ~ • A survey of Lot P-2 and a parking plan illustrating the parking space canfiguratian on the lot. 3 Y • Address the comments provideci by fhe Town of Vail Public Works ~ j Department in the letter dated Gecember 20, 2002 (attachment D) • Submit a separate set of eleva#ion drawings depic#ing the proposed fodge versus the existing lodge. * AdcEress the comments provided by Jeff Winstan, 1Ninston & Associates, in #he letter dated January 13, 2003 (attachment E) • Submit an applicant for a condifional use permit ta allow for a Type III Employee Housing to be constructed on the development site. Pursuant to Section 12-7A-12 (A)(2){j) of the Vail Town Code, `°Any additronal information or maferial as deemed necessary by the Adminrstrator or the Town Planning and Envrronmenta! Cammissran rnay be requested': Is there any addi#ional irrformation or materials that the Planning and Environmental Comrnission finds is necessary to be submitted for review and consideration prior ta acting upon the requests of the applicant? I'rapased Setbacks ln 1999, the Town of Vai] appraved a text amendment amending the prescribed developrnent standards far the Public Accommodation zone district. in approving the text arnendments the Town adopted five setback criteria that are to be used by the Planning and Environmental Commission when considering deviations to the required minimurn 20- foot setback. These criteria are to be usecf in Place of the variarace procedures when considering deviations to the required setbaeks. The Town determined #hat providing flexibili#y in the implementation of the 20- foat setback requirement was desirable and could serve a public purpose provided that certain design and land use considerations were addressed and the various criteria were met. To aid in reviewing requests for deviations from the minimum setback requirement the follawing regulation was adapted: 72-7A-6: SETE3ACKS: In the PA Drstrict, the mrnimum front sefback shalf be twenty feef (20), the rninr`mum side serback shall be twerafy feef (20'), and the minimum rear setback shall be twenty feet (20). At the diseretron of the Planning and Envirorrmental Gammission arrd/or the L?esrgn i Review Board, variatrons to the setback standards outlined above rnay be approved during the revfew Qf exterior altemations ar rnodifrcafiorrs (Sectron 72-7A- i2 af this Artrcle) su6ject ta the appficanf demanstrating camplrance with the follawrrrg crrterra: A. Proposed burlding setbacks provide necessary separation between butldings and riparian areas, geologically sensrtive areas and other envfronmentally sensifive areas. ~ B. Proposed building setbacks camply with applrcable elements af the Vail Vr!lage Urban Desrgn Guide Plan and Design Considerations. ~ 4 , ~ C. Praposed building setbacks wifl provide adequate avarlability of dight, air and operr spa+ce. D. PrQposed building setbaeks will provide a compatibfe relatianship with 6Uildings and uses crn adjacent properties, E. Propased building setbaeks will resulf irr creafive design sczlutrons or other public benefits that could rrot otherwise be achieved by confQrmance with prescri6ed setback starrdards. The Design Fieview Baard and staff have corrrpleted a preliminary revaew of the proposed site pcan. Based upon sta#f's review of the propased plans, comments provided by the Design Review Baard, and a review af the above-described setback criteria, we believe that changes are needed to the proposed setbacks in order ta ensure campliance with the prescribed' regulations. For example, the proposed graund level patios on ihe sou#h and east sides of the TivDli Lodge encroach considerably on the south and east side setbacks. Given the landscape design, the bui(ding's proxirnity to Vail Valley Drive and Town of Vail apen space, staff believes that the patio areas and bauider site wails should be redesigned. Other areas for consideration inciude the loading and delivery facility and the garage entrance on the west side af the lodge. The extent af any design changes shauld take into consideratian the prescribed setback criteria, ~ the revised sunlshade study, and adjacent land uses. Does the Planning and Environmental Cammissian agree that changes shauld be considered to the praposed setbacks given the established setback criteria established for the Public Accammodatian zone district, the need far cQmpliance with the variaus master plan d4cuments, and the physical parameters of the si#e? If so, what changes are suggested? SunlShade pnalvsis I The presence of sun and shade contributes sigrai#icantly to the quality of the pedestrian environment. To iFlustrate this point, simply look to Pepi's Deck, the outdoar dining area at the Red Lion, Qr seating benches that get used by the pubEic on various days. lf the sun is shining, the decks and those benches in the sun are used. The deckS and benches located in the shade are often vacant. The importance of sun/shade is well documented in the Vail Village Master P1an. In fact> a whole sectian of the Vas! Village Urban Design Considera#ions is devoted to sun/shade. According to Section I of fhe Vail Village Urban design Considerations, in Y a' "all new or expanded buildings should not substant!`ally increase the sprrng and fall shadow pattern (March 21 through September 23) on adjacent properties of the public right of way": ~ To better understand the irnpacts of the new and expanded buifdings proposed by the applicarwt, a sun/shade study has been submitted for 5 I review (attachmen# F). The results af ihe study c6eariy illustrate that a ~ significant portion of Hansan Ranch Road and xhe adjacent properties to ! the north will be impacted by the construction of the new iodge. Staff i sees the impacts af sun/shade to be the great adverse impact associated i with the proposed height af the fodge. Staff would recommend that the Commission and applicant what rr`itigating measures could be pursued to address shading of the street. Given the criter}a established for the rewiew of projects and evaluating their impacts on sunlshade, as well as the input provided by the Tawn af Vail Design Review Board, are fhere any steps that you might suggest at this #ime for the applicant to pursue in responding to concerns of sunlshade? Mitigation af aevelaqment Impacts Pursuant to Section 12-7A-14, Mitigation of Development fmpacts, Vail Town Code„ "Property ownersfdevelopers shall also be responsibJe for mitrgating ~ drrect impaGts af their development on public infrastructure and in a!1 cases mrtigation sha!l bear a reasonable relation to the developmenf lrrrpacts. lrrrpacts may be determined based on reports prepared by qualified consultanfs. The extent of mitrgation and pubfie amenity ~ impraveme,nts shall be balanced with the goa1s of redevelopmenf and will be deterrnined by the Pfanning and Environmenta! GommissrQn in review af developmenf pr'ajeefs and conditronal use perrnits. Substantial off-sife rmpac[s may include, but are raof limited to, the followrng: deed restrrcted employee housing, raadway imprvvements, pedestrian walkway rmpravements, streetscape rmprovements, stream tracU6ank resforation, laadrng/delivery, pubCic art improvements, and similar improvements. The intent af thls Sectfon is to vrrly requrre mitigation fnr large-scale redevelopment/development prajects whfch produce substanfial off-siie impacts. " I Besides the obviaus, (i.e., employee housing, streetscape improvements, roadway improvements, public art, foadingldelivery facilities) are there any other specific mitigating measures that the applicant shauld be pursuing at this time as part of this deveiopment appEication? Fubf ic Benefits Pursuant to Section 12-9A-1, Purpose, in part, of the Vail Town Code, ~ "The purpose of fhe Speciaf Qeveloprnent Disfrict is to encourage flexibility ana' creativrty in [he development of land in order to ,promote ifs ' mnst approprr'afe use; to Jmprove the design character and quallty af the ~ new develd,pment with fhe Town; fo facllitate the adequafe and economical provrsion of streets and utilities; fv preserve t,he natural and scenlc features of apen space areas; and to further the overafl gaals of 6 ~ the cornmunity as sfafsd in the Var!

Before the Towrt Council approves development standards fhat devrafe from the underlying zorre disfrict, it shoUlti be determined that such deviativn provides benefits to the Towrr that oufweigh the adverse etfecrs of such deviatrora, 7his deterrnination is fo be rrrade based on evaluation af the proposed special development distrr'c['s compliarrce with the design criteria outlined in Secfion 72-9A-8 af fhis Article.'° The appllcant has proposed deviatians to the maximum allowable building height limitation of 48 feet and the reguirement that Ioading/deEivery nat be focated in the required frant setback. The applicant is proposing a sloping gambre!-style roof wiih a maximum building height af 56 feet and ta place ane 12-faot by 35- foot loading and de{ivery space in the required frorat setback. Prior ta the request for deviatuons from the development standards, the Commission and Council must make a finding that the said deviations provide benefits to the Town that outweigh the adverse effects of such deviations. Staff would recommend that the applicant and Commission discuss the magnitude of the requestecP deviafions and the pubfic benefits that may or may not exist with the reques#. Histarically, the Town has recognized such benefits as aff-sife streetscape improvements, heated surfaces, landscaping, employee housing, etc. as possible public benefits. ' aoes the Commissian believe that the requested deviations are appropria#e given the prescribed criteria? What additional infarmation may the Gommission need to respond to the questions af adverse effects versus I ~ public benefits? 7 i • Ix.

As currently designed, there are top many dafferent styles. ~ o The building needs to he setback and stepped back vcrtically to eliminate four-story ti11 wall ~ planes. • The entry faqade needs to Yae redesigned to place rnore of an ernphasis an the front entry. As designed, the proportions appear to be off: o The rail and deck (widow's walk) design conflicts with the tyrolean theme of the res# vf the building. o The elevation which can be seen frvm Mill Creek Circle is much too tall. Vertical layers are needed to break dawn the mass. The vertieal plane of thc building adjacent to the bike/pedesirian path is too tall and too vertscal. o The entry feature to the IodQe is rery tall. A vertical break is needed to reduce ihe rnass. ~ o Tiie mansard is not in keeping with the charactcr of the tpwn. A different design is needed. • The pnmary roof ridge is too long and is unintcrrupted. The roof ridge must be braken up. o The roof area of the lodge is very large and vcry visihle. Careful attention to roof inaterials is required. o The details of the design need to be worked through. For example, the rvindows butt riglit up to the roo€with no separation pravided. o The lodge appears as an enormous buildiang. The buildinb is visually overpowering. o The inass of thc roaf makes the ladge appear top hcavy and thus distracts from the good aspects of the design. o The corner tower elements are incansistent with thc clcsign guidelines. They appear tao barn ar silo-like. The roof design atop the towers should be rcdetiigned to be eoxnplimentary to the lodge design. o The assemblage af buildrncy forms is unresolved. The lod~e is too small for multiple building styles. A buildinb style should be selected and thcn detailed anci that theme. o The entry fcateue is too tall and creates concerns with the building height and its proximity to the progerty lines. o The lodge must be stepped back as the building approachcs the property lines. o The stone veneer applied to the building must vary in height as in goes araund the buildirtg. As currcntly designed, the proposal appcars to drp the building in stone, o Where wi9l the roo#=top rnechanical equipment be located? The location af inechanical equipment shouHd be planaied for at this time. o The little roofs azop the in-set windows do not fit together. 5hcd dormers may be a possible solution to this problem. o Vertical steps are nceded in the building on both the east and west elevatians. ~ R6CYCLEUPAYF.R i A#tachment: D To: George Ruther ~ I Frolm: Tom KassmellGreg HaII Date: 12-[}3-02 ~ Tivali Lodge ~ Ynitiai Goranaents 1.

However, as we seeing with several other applications, because ik caphires additiona] space in the rpof, i# will be increasingly requested.

The second design issue far the Tivoli is the mixing of hip and gable roofs. There is a pleasant cansistency to the ail-gambrel-roof Norch elevation, which is lost on the South elevation with the introduction of a large gable end_ Note that in the West elevatioan the gable end will acteaally extend out to the south beyond the tower. Also, agable end appears to pop up next to the tower at the west end of the North elevation. These camments may be tempered by the fact that fronn the drawings it is not clear how visible these gable ends would actually be fram public view. C7u the other hand, it daes not seem all that difticult to convert them to a hip roof. 3. Rclated to the maxing of gable and gambrel roafs is the expression of the S"' flaor balcony decks- they appcar to be a c4nternporary inserticsn in the building. This is particuiarly at the east end Qf the building. We nucstion whether this balcony can be cc7nstructed as shown (compare the roof plan and i the East elevation--wan't the vertical plane of the deck be Ionger?). It is not clear hawever, how visible these deeks will be frorn public ways, We suggest additional attentian be given to how to rnake these at least the visible portion.s of these decks (especially the east one) ta blend with tfie ovcrall character of the rest of the building (hip roof, trim, window treatment, etc.). 4. Design Guidelines, and character of Village, subgest Qreater transgarezxcy of ground floc+r facades. in the middlc portion nf the elevation the ground t7oor windows (meeting roam,? restaurant? library?) replicate the vrindows of the upper floors (lodging units). Ground floor transparency of'the 3*lorth elevation can be increased by adding additional windows in the zniddle section, perhaps using a window treatment similar to the window wal] on the South elevation of the labby (adjacent to the southeast tawcr)_ S. Large ground floor window at east end of North elevation is on a bathroam. 5uggest maving the window east and iaserting sorne small windows fpr the bathrooms (sirnilar to those above garage 0 entry). 6. On the East elevati4n, the stainveli presents afairly blank wall to the street on the I$` and 2nd levels. Could windows be added? (even small windows as used Qn North elevation) 7. On the North elevation tEiere is an exit doar that appears in gian but not elevation, just vves# of the kower.

This amendment allaws fior the minimum size loading berth to be 12 ft. by 35 fi, by 14 ft. 1n addition, for more delivery- intensive uses, it requires a minimum o# one loading berth to be 12 ft. by 50 ft. by 14 ft. This wili accommodate the majority of trucks which make c4eliveries in the Tawn of Vail. M. BACKGROUND Section 12-10-9: Loading Standards, 'Jail Town Code, prescribes the foflowJng size requirements for all required laading berths: B. Size: Each requrred loadrng berth shall be not less fhan twelve feet (12~ wide, twenty frve feet (25) lang, arrd ifenclosed and/or cavered, fourteen feet (14) high. Adequate turning and maneuvering space shall be provlded wifhtn the lar lirres. Staff has provided minimum standards for loading Iaerths as prescribed by other communities. The Fnfarmation pravides the following (dimensians given are "length by width by height"): ~ DeKalb, IL - minimum size bertFa of 10 ft. by 65 ft. by 14 ft. Indian River County, FL- minimum size berth of 14 ft. by 30 ft. with minimum area of 250 sq. ft. maneuvering area cantiguous to the berth. V4?est Palm Beach, FL - minimurra size berth of 10 ft. by 25 ft, (least intensive use) and 10 ft. by 50 ft. (larger, more intensive uses). Centralia, !L - minimum size berth of 12 ff. by 50 ft. by 14 ft. Hillsbarflugh County, FL minimum size berth of 12 ft, by 30 ft by 16 ft (local deliveries up io 2/3 of total berths required) and minimum of 12 ft. by 60 ft. by 16 #t. (semi-trailers). Fairfax, VA - minimum size berth of 12 ft. by 25 ft., but based on a,pproval by the Director of Public Works accarding to use. Salinas, CA - minimum size berth of 10 ft. by 20 it, by 10 ft. (least intensive use classificatian), 12 ft. by 35 ft. by 16 fiC. (moderately intensive use), 12 ft. by 50 ft. by 16 ft. (most intensive use). Avon, CO - minimum size berth of 12 ft. by 35 fiE. by 15 ft. Eagle County, CO - minimum size berth af 10 ft. ay 35 ft. by 14 ft., with a provision far requiring larger berths ai Baard's discretion. Bouider, CO - minimum size berth of 500 sq. ft. vwith ne single dimension smaller than 10 it. As is presented above, many corrtrnunities have varying size requirements for Iaading berth spaces. The TQwn ofi Vail's current requirernent of 12 ft. by 25 ft. by 14 ft. is generally Ress than is requireci by other communities, The Departmen# ofi Public Works has done ~ numerous counts and informal surveys throughout the past few years with regard to delivery 2 ~ trucks, These have been attached (Attanchments A through E) far reference. As indicated by ihese surveys, truck sizes have varied from small 15 ft. vans ta large 53 ft. beer delivery trucks. Genera:lly, the larger trucks have been making deliveries to eating and drinking establishments. To meet the need for larger loading berths, the Town of Vail has been requiring larger loading berths in the Public Accomrtiadatian and Lionshead MixecC Use 1 zone districts, using #he prflvision for mitigation of development impacts as the impetus for such requirements. As the trend towards the use af iarger delivery trucks cantinues, the Tawn of Vail staff believes that it is necessary to codify this requirement far all zone districts. Codifying the loading and delivery requirements will result in estabkishing clearer expectations for applicants, and lessen the need far negotia#ing the standards with developers. tV.

CRI°TERIA AND FINDINGS The review criteria and factors for cansideration for a request of a text amendment are established in accordance with the provisions af Chapter 12-3, Vaif Town Cade (0rdinance No. 4, Series 2002). A. Consideration of Factors Reqarding the Text Amendment: 1. The extent to which the #ex# amendrnent furthers the general and speciflc purposes of the Zvning Reguiati+ans; and The general purposes for Title 12 (Zoning Regulations) are described m Section 12-1- 2, Vail 7own Cade.

To othervvise provide for rhe growth of ara orderly and viable corramuniiy. Staff believes that the proposed text amendment furthsrs these genera9 and specific ~ purposes of the Town of Vail Zaning Regulations. 2. The extent to which the text arnendment would better implement and better achieve the applieable elements of the adapted goals, objectives, and policies ou#lined in the Vail Camprehensive Ptan and is cvmpatible with the develapment objectives of the Town; and Laaddng and delivery has been identified as a major concern and issue in the Town of Vail. The Transportation Master Plan and recent updates to the plan indicate that it is necessary to amend the minimum loading berth size ta aceommodate the mix of delivery vehicles in the Town of Vail. Staff believes that this amendment is campatibie with #he development objectives of the Tawn. 3. The extent to which the text amendment demons#rates how conditions have substantially changed since the adaption of the subject regufation and haw the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and As indicated in the attached delivery vehicle counts, the size a# delivery trucks in the Town of VaFI is generally exceeding the required loading ber#h capabilities. This leads to increased enforcernent efforts, the need for greater coordination, traffic congestian, and inconvenienee for guests and residents of the Town.

Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: George Ruther 1. SUMMARY The Department of Gommunity Development os requesting that the Planning and Environmental Commissian review the proposed text amendment intended ta clarify the height requirements in the Lionshead MExed llse zane distcicts, as further described in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The praposed language has bEen preparsd ~ in response to the input staff received frarn Rhe Planning and Enviranmenta[ Commission and the public. In summary, the staff is proposing to utilize a similar method of building height calculatton as anticipated in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The proposal maintains the concept of both maximum building height and average height ~ calculations. The difference proposed is #hat thoe regulation is further clarified and more ~ easily understood. Sta(f believes ihat the proposed language effectively achieves i variety and movement in ridgelines as intended in the Master Plan. II. L?ESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The Department of Community DeveEopment has requested that the Planning and Environmental Commission review an administrative interpreta#ifln of the maximum height calcuCatian for structures constructed in the Lionshead Mixeci Use zane districts. Staff's request is in response ta recent di5cussions regarding the calcufatian of the average maximUm height from which staff has concluded that further clarification is necessary to ensure #hat the intent of the regulation has been met. Specifically, staff recagnized that there are multiple methads of ineasuring auerage maximum height and numerous questions about haw to implement the height calculation. Sect4on V of this rnemarandum outlines the preferred method of calculation in greater detail. Section VI autfines a possible text amendment to the Lianshead Redevelopmerrt Master Plan with regard to maximum aIlowable bui4ding height. This request is brought to the Planning and Environmentaf Comrnission for review and Gansideration pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Uail Town Cdde. ~ h~t TOWNOFYAIL ~ A . gAeKGROUrva On December 15, 1998, the Town of Vail adopted the Lionshead Redeveiopment Master Plan. Pn adoptirrg the Lionshead Redewelopment Mas#er Plan, the Vail Town Gauncil aciopted an average maximum height calculation for improvernents constructed in the Lionshead Mixed lJse 9 and Lionshead Mixed Use II zone districts. The reason, in part, for adapting an average maximum height calculation was to respand to building height and massing criteria within an already built environment. Unlike development in other areas in town, where maximum bui8ding height is ealculated based upon exisding or f9nishecE grade, which ever is more restrictive, redeveloprreent prajects in the Lionshead Mixed Use I and Lionshead Mixed Use II zone districts must be responsive to the existing conditions, improverxjents, and the prQject's rela#ionship to existing buiEdings and infrastructure. TQ address tnese concerns, it was determined that an alternate means of calculating building height in the Lionshead Mixed Use I and Lionsheaci Mixed Use II zone districts was necessary. On September 9, 2002, the Town of Vail Planning and Environmentaf Commission held a wQrksession meeting to discuss the average maximum iheight calculation issue for de#ermining building height in the Lianshead Mixed Use I and LiQrrshead Mixed Use 11 zone districts. Upon discussion af the issue, there was a clear consensus among the Commissianers that further clarification was needed #a described and determine the allowable height of buildings in the Lionshead Mixed Use I and Lionshead Mixed Use II zane districts. What was not cempletely clear, hovueWer„ was the methodd6ogy #hat should be adopted. ln response to the discussiQn, the Commission asked staff to reQurn to a future worksession meeiing with propased language that cCarified the intent of the regulation, which upon impGementation, resuqted in bu'rldings that did nat exceed 82.5 ~ feet maximum in height with an average maximum building height of 71 feed. A complete capy of #he September 9, 2002, appraved Planning and Environmental Commission meeting minutes have been attaehed for reference (Attaehment A) On Octaber 14, 2002, the Town of Vail 1 lanning and Environmental Commission held a second uvorfcsession meeting to discuss the average maximurrr height calculation issue fior determining buclding height in the Lionshead Mixed Use I and Lionshead Mixed Use II ~ zone districts. Follawing a lengthy discussian of the issue and consideratian of a I praposed methodology, the Commission directed staff to prepare draft Iegislation for e determining building height for future consideration. Specifically, given seueral inherent conflicts with the methodology proposed and the intent of the regulation, the Commission asked the staff to look into the feasibility of utifizing a building height cafculation similar to that used for calculating height in Vail Village (Cammercial Core I zone cfistrFCt). This alternate rneans of calcu9ating building height uses a percentage basis or ratio for af3awable maximum building neight. A complete copy of the October 14, 2002, approved Planning and Environmental Commission meeting minutes have been attached far reference (Attachment B). On November 25, 2002, the Town of Vail Planning and Environrnen#al Commission held a third meeting on this request. In response to matters expressed during the public eomment portion of the meeting, the Commission heeded the input provided and granted the requestsd tabiing of a final recornmendatian until ,January 13, 2003. ~ 2 IV.

B. Lionshead Redevelnpment Master Plan Staff has reviewed the Lionshead Redevelopment Nlaster Pians and beGeves the follawing sectians are relevant to the review of fhis request: Sectian 2.1, Purpose of the Master Pfan (in part) This master plarr, developed over a period of fwo year and with extensive invQlvernent by the community, is a comprehensive guide frr property owners praposing to undertake developmerrt dr redevelapment of fheir praperties and the muRicipal offrcials responsible for plannrng public imprQVe,ments. The plan ouflines the Tovvra's objecfives and goals for the enhancement of L.ionshead and prapases recommendations, irreentives, and requirements far redevefopment and new development of public and private properties. ~ Section 2.8 Adoptian and Amendment of the Master Plan, The Lfonshead Master Plan was adopted by Resdlufldn 14, Serfes of 1998, on December 15, 1998, by the Vai! Towrr Councr'l foflowing a recommendatioR to approve by the Planning and Environmerrtal Co,mmissian. Future amendments to this master pJan must be approved by resolutlcan or moffon by the Vai! Touvn Councrl followrng a formal recammendation by the PJannrng and Enviror+rnen[al Commission. Implemenfation acfivities and ardlnances w11l be approved in accordance with the Vail Town Gode. Ghapter 8, Architectural Qesign Guidelines (in part) The scope of the Design GuideJines includes alf crrteria relafed to the architectural design of new and remadeJ projecfs within Lionshead, along wifh site planning criteria which refate directly ta architeeture.. 5ection 8.4.2.3, Building Height (in parf) Maximum Neights Maxr.mum height is defined as the distarace from existing or finished grade - whichever is mare restrictive - to the rrdge of the nearest primary roof farm to that grade. With fhis in mind, the Average Maximurn Heighf of ~ any burlding shall nat exceed 71 ft. Notwithstanding the notion of Average Maximum Height, the Absalute Maximum Neighf of any building shall not exceed 82.5 ff, Absolufe Maximurr! Height shall be determined 5 by inferpolating existing or finrshed grade fhrough the burlding foofprint ~ and rraeasuring the !verticaf disfance frorra the ridge of the highesf primary roaf form to irnagrnary plane created 6y the r'rrfer,polafed grades. Calculation of Average N1axlrnum Height The interrt of impfementing an Average Maximum Height far buildirrgs is to create movemenf and variety r`n the ridgelines and roof forms in Lionshead. Taward that end, the Average Maxrmum Height of a building slaall be calculated based uporr the linear foatage of ridgeline on primary raof forms. Any amc+unt of prrmary raof form ridgeline thaf exceeds 71 ft. must be ptfse[ by at Jeasf an equal amount of primary roof form rrdgeline falling below 71 ft., with the distance below 71 ft. equrvalent to ar greater than the distance exceedfng 71 ft. The average ealculation sha11 be based on fhe aggregate linear fovtage of primary roof forms across an entlrs structure, not separate rndiuidual roof forms. Addlticanal Requiremenfs/Exceptrons A!1 buildrngs, regardless of perrnitted building herghts and massing principles; sha!l conform to a1l established Public View Corridors (see Lianshead Master Pfan). Specia! "Yandmark" burJding elements, such as chimrreys, towers, or other unique archr'tectural forms, may exceed the Absolute Maximum Helght, subfect to approval by the revrewing board. This provrsion 1s intended to prQVr'de for archrtectural creativity and quality of building farm, and shall rrof be used as a means ar crrcumverrting the intent of the buildfng helght limitatrons. !n addition, regardless of final 6uilding he+ght, buildings shalf avoid manatonaus, urrbrQken ridge lrnes, ~ and shall provide visual interest through the use varied peak herghts, roof forms, gables, and other appropriate archifectural techniques. V. PROPOSED LIONSHEAQ REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT The existing regulations for the calculation of maximum allowable building height and average maxirnum hsight in the Lionshead Mixed Use I and 19 zone ciistricts are confusing ancC unclear. The prescribed rnethods of calculation do nat result in the intended consequences of the regulatian and cofltains nurnerous loophales and ambiguities. Over the course of the reWiew and consideration of the building height calculation, staff has concluded that much of the canfusion and arntaiguity stems from the notiorr of an average maxirnum building height. Staff believes, and the Commission has affirmed, that the notian or intent of the average maxirnum building heEght limitation is to promote and create "movement and variety in the ridgelines and r4of forms r'n Lionshead, thus avordrng lang continuaus, uninterrupted ridgelrnes." Over the course of the review of this arrriendment, staff has proposad severai alternaie means of bui1ding height calculation. Et was determined that each method, hawever, resulted in unintended consequences or did not further the expressecE intent of the reguiatian. Furthermore, staff prepared an alternate bui6ding height calculation rnethodology similar to that used for calculating the height of buildings in the Commercial Core i zone cfistrict (Vail Village) as requested by the Cornmission. Upon testing the methodology and exploring numerous scenarias, staff determined tha# such a ~ methQd, like the others, wauld nof ineet the intent of the building height regulation for 6 Lionshead ar resulted in unintended consequences. 7herefore, sfaff is proposing the ~ following changes to the building heigh# calculation: 1) Implement a method af height calculation far the Lianshead Mixed Use zone districts that utilizes existing, finished and interpolated grades as the basis for determining building height. 2) Utilize the identifcatian of "primary" roof ridge lines and "assumed" primary roof ridge lines that result in the creation of a series of cantinuous lines that are used in a mathematical formula esta#alishecf ta determine the absolute maximum+ building height and auerage maximum he'[ght of a buRlding 3) Create new definitions and graphic illustrations to aid in the understanding of the building height calculation. Staff is proposing the following amendment to Section 8,4.2.3 (Building Height) of the Lionsheaci Redevelopment Master Plan: Absolufe Maximum Heights Absolute MaximUm Height is deflrred as the vertlcal distance from exrsting, finished or interpalated grade - uvhichever is more restrrctive - to the rldge of fhe nearest primary roof forrn to that grade. Wifh fhis irr mrrrd, the Average Nlaximum Height of any butlding shall nor exceed 71 ft. IVotwirhstandr'ng the notrvn of Average Maximum Neight, the Absvlute Maximum Height ot any burlding shall not exceed 82.5 ft. Wifhin any building foofprint, heighf shall be measured vertically from fhe ridgelrne of the prrmary roof form an a propvsed Qr exlsting raof fo fhe lnterpolated or exrstirag grade directly below said point on a pro,posed or exisfing roof fo #he imagrnary plane created by the rnterpolated ~ grades (see figure Calculation af Average Maximum Height The ir,tent of implernenting an Average Maximum Height for ,buildings r`s to create mavement and varrety in the ridgelines and roof forrns 1n Lionshead. Taward [haf errd, the Average Maxrmum Height of a buildrng shall be calculated based upon the linear footage of rrdgeline along prrmary raaf forms. Any amaunt af prr`mary roof form rio'geline that exceeds 71 fr. must be offset by at least an equal arnaurrt af primary roof form ridge!!ne taflfng below 71 tt., wifh the clistance befow 71 ft. equivalent to or greater than the distance exceedirrg 71 ft. 7he average calculation sfrafl be 6ased on ihe aggregate linear foatage of primary roof forms across an entrre sfructure, nvt separafe individual roof forms (see figure Average Maximum Height CalcufatiQn Average Maxrmum Height = (Primary Ridge Lengfn (A) X Average Height of Ridge (A)] +[Prrmary Rrdge Lerrgth (B) X Average Height af Ridge (B)] +jPrimary Ridge Length (C) X Average Height of Ridge (C)J +f. ,.J - - (Primary Ridge Length (A) + Primary Rrdge Length ('B) + Prrmary Rrdge Length (C) + ~ ~ Additrorra!

The following definitions shall be added ta SectiQn 1 2- 2-2 of the Vail Town Code, Definitions, are provided to clarify the building height calculatian methcadology: Prirnary Roof Ridgeline, pssurned The estabfished centerline portian of a flat or mansard roaf and/ar the sloping ends of a gambrel or h9p roof used in the determination af building height in the Lionshead A/lixed • Use 1 and 2 zone districts and as determined by the administratar.

Appkicant: Town of Vail Cornmunity Dsvelopment Department ~ Planraer: George Ruther George ftuther gave a presentationr per the staff repQrt and stated that staff is looking for clarification and nat an amendment to the adopted master plan regarding the caicuEatian of average maximum height. Ericksan Shirley stated that Et would be helpful far him if staff cou[d break dawn the request in#o specific questions #he board shouRd answer. George Ruther stated that the overall question was, "How da yau measure average maxirnum building ~ height in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan?" ~ Erickson Shirley asked what were the specific questiQns which would answer that overall question. John Schofield suggested a question such as the definition af grade and heignt which were defined already in the Code. Doug Cahill stafed that he read the Master Plan to say as using a plane created by the more restric#ive grade and a plum bob be moved arouncS within the foatprint of the building. Erickson Shirley believed it was clear that height is defined in the Master Plan as be6ng the dis#ance ~ from the root ridge and existing or finished grade, which ever is rnore restrictive and secandly, "The ' auerage calculation shall be based on the aggregate linear footage of prirnary roaf forms across an erttire structure, not separate indi+ridual roof forms." ~ 41L Tt){FN 1 i Approved 9123142 - George Ruther stated that he believed it was not that clear. He said he could come up with several ways to interpret the document which would ala give different results. ~ Rallie and John agreed that one of the probfems was that the drawing is 6ased on a flat site, nat on the topography which exists in Lionshead. John Schofiield brought up that at the time the IlJlaster Plan was being done, he believed that a survey was done through aut the Lionshead area, ?nrhich included multiple spot elevatians. He befierred if the informatron was still availalale it may be beneficial to help substantiate the board's determination. George Ruther stated that he would check to see if it still existed. Chas Bernhardt presented a mathematical equation, which took the difference in height fram fwo points fln a roofi ridge and c6ivided by an interval to be determined_ John Schofieid suggested that grade shvuld be interpolated under the building to create a plane ta measure frorc-i, Doug Cahili asked if George Ruther would write that up. Erickson Shirley asked that a drawing accompany it. George Ruther restated the request, in order to clarify what he heard. Chas Bemhardt clarified his variabies included in the mathematical equation. He said points along the ridge would be measured over a determined distance step and that difiFerence would be divided by that distance. ~ Doug Gahill asked if the staff could add that no more than 50 percent of the buifding height could be at 82.5 feet- John Schofield stated fhat he felt the DRB would never approve seme of the buildings as proposed in the staff report, even if they met the ietter of the Master Pian. George Ruther stated that he didn't understand, under Ghas's propasal, how each segment was handled aWer the length of the entire roof line. He said each segment would have an average height and then those segments wauld be averaged together ta make sure tha4 the overall ridge height is at an auerage of 71 feet. The Commission agreed that height should be measured from the mast restriGtive grade either existing, ar finished. John Schofield stated that he felt that prfmary ridgeline needed to be defined. Doug Cahill stated that dormers were not a primary rcaof form, but #hey shauld be measured for overall heigh#. George Ru#her stated that the Master Rlan ca[led out dormers as secondary or special architectural features to be cansidered a primary roaf form. John Schofield asked if George Ruther had enough feedback to write sornething far the nex# meeting. ~ George Ruther stated that in sorrae cases such as vn a steep site, the height of a building cauid be higher if ineasured from the eave.

Jeff Burell representing the Vail Golf Gaurse Townhomes owners near the praposed site, ~ said he would like ta see a time frame placed on the conditQOnal use permit and se# hours fQr usage by the public, as the public use gat bumped quite often for hockey. Mike Spriggs, also with Phase lll of the Vail Golf Gaurse Tawnhomes, added #o Jeff Burell's comments. He thinks the additiean of this use as a canditional use in all Outdc+car recreation districts should be more specifc in what can be down. He said the tinne frame af the use needs to be limited in when it can be put up and that it must be down by a particular date and he said there needs to be a change to the addition of the conditionaf use in Outdoor recreation Dis#rict. aebbie Webster, the founder of the Vail sicating dub and a supparter of skating, lives on Sunburst and has one of the bes# views of the bubble from her hame. 5he said she does not understand how the bubble could be visUally mitigated.

Doug Cahi11 asked Bili Gibson about the sticking to af building standards. ~ Bil! Gibson stated that because the structure has been revieti+ved previ4usly, it does not need a review; hawrever, bui[ding and fire will need to inspect the struc#ure for egress and safety compliance. Ericksan Shirley stated that he snowshaes there often anci he saw no abuse in his visits to the si#e. He feels the conditions do a good job addressing any problems. He stated that a time frame during this econamic climate is #augh, as there are many projects the commurrity could benefit fram and said he suppnrts a ionger tirne frame of approval. John Schafield stated that he visits the site almost daiiy and the anly #raffic he encountered +rvas created by the dog show. He said he has mixed feslings regarding a time frame being placed an this, as there has been an autdoar hockey ring there for ten #0 15 years. He said regarding property values, he has lived in the neighbvrhvod for 15 years and he has nat seen property valves ga down. He daes agree on placing atime frame restrictpon with regards to usage during #he year. He then asked Larry Pardee uvhat sort of time frame is reasonable, in regards to snow removal. Larry Pardee stated that it is difficult tQ make a commen# regarding tirrae frame of snow removal, as the amaunt and times of snow fall are unpredictable. HE daes understand the need and goal of #he Cammissian.

He noted that any benefits of GRFA are far outweighed by live safety issues that are currently being compromised. He said site caverage will need the grea#est focus in terms of limiting building bulk and mass and noted that input from the DRB will be needed as this propasal is reviewed. He said landscape area requirements may aiso need to be adjusted. He said he wauld prefer ta eliminate all GRFA, but thinks that first changing the three residential districts would be appropriate. He recommended the outcome be similar in impact to current horrae sizes and recommended a joint session with the Te?wn Cauncil, Erickson Shirley sfated that he can't understand why we neetf GRFA, as long as safety issues are addressed. He asked if the concern was thaf na GRFA wi91 create the building of a box. ~ Russ Forest replied to Erickson that that was an initial concem, but design review guidelenes prevent the building of a box. Gary Hartman questioned if lat size arad home sizes have been compared. 8 Approved 10/28/{}2 Russ FoTrest noted the information provide in the staff mEmorandum, Erickson Shiriey asked how homes in Edwards are controlled. i Russ Forrest repfied thaf floor area is restricted, but in a much sirnpler manner. ~ I Gary Hartman noted that he feels GRFA is unfair in that some individua6s can not afford archi#ects who can auert the regulativns, or construct false walls and roams. John Schofield asked if the PEC was apposed ta larger homes. Erickson Shirley replied #hat larger homes are alright if they fit the size of the lat, and pe4ple shouldn't anly get caught up in square foatage. Doug Cahill believes tha# GRFA has served a purpose in controliing bulk and mass, but nouv is the appropriate time to take ano#her look at GRFA. He is concerned about impacts on redevelopment. He also notec4 that DR,B controls need to be ccansidered and incentives for EHU's will also need to be reviewed. Gary Hartman is in favor of eiiminating GRFA in all zaning. He disputed some of the "negatives'° of eliminating GRFA, as noted in the staff memorandum. George Lamb rroted that he is in favor of eliminating GRFA. Rollie Kjesbo nated he is in favor af elirninating GRFA samehow. He feels it will create safer building constructed in a 9ogical manner and he noted that larger 6ots should be aIlowed to build Earger homes. ~ John Schofield recapped that the PEC is unanimously in support of a change, and most support the elimination of GRFA. He said theee is a need to examine site coverage, how ta encourage EHU's, how ta regulate parking requirements, haw to strengthen DRB requirements, we need to examine homes in located in other zane districts, how to address Iantiscaping requirements, and suggested a work session with the Tawn Councif. He asked staff to update the infarmation on how a#her cvmmunities deal with bulk and rnass and explore requiring architects to serve an the DRB. 7.

Kyle Webb stated that the Rabertson's unit on the 7'h ar 8t' floor was enclosed in the early 90's. i Gary Hartman asked if the enclosed space was #o beeame a part of the unit. Kyle Webb s#ated that currently it is not proposed to be heated and the sliding daor would remain. Doug Cahill asked what was the reason behind the reques# for enclosure. Steve Hawkins, #he applicant, s#ated tha# it was a method to try and mitigate the negative impacts caf the new canopy. There was no public comment. Gary Hartman sta#ed thet he felt the noise wauEd be rnitigated by the new canopy, howeuer, he was not in favor of setting a precedent on fhe building. DoUg Cahill asked about the number of enc6osed parches. ~ 2 _ I ~ ; i . Approved 1127103 e Chas Bemhardt stated that a 250 addition was not a ragh# and he v+,as nat in favor of the setting of this precedEnce. • George Lamb wanted the applicarat #o try and incorporate the balcony into the new canopy. Rollie Kjesbo agreed with Doug Gahill and Chas Bernhardt and feVt it was too rnuch of a precedent. John Schafeld stated that the building was overbualt on the site, according to current zoning requirements. He felt the hardship was self imposed and variances are not granted for self imposed hardships. He added that currentiy obtaining the 250`s on the site would be practically diffrcult to achieae as the site, is so over-built and that possibly a comprehensiue plan would receive a better receptian. Kyle Webb asked if the Board would be receptive to Gearge Lamb's camments regarding a redraw of the canopy incorporating the deck.

Applicant: Stara Andersnn Planner: Bifl Gibson ~ Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff report. 7om Braun, representing the applicant, gave a presentatian and stated tFrat this was more of a public service and not a maney maker by the hospital. There was no public input. George Lamb stated that, a4 first loak, the proposal is very beneficial and added tha# he was nat close tv the operation of the parking structure Qf the hQSpital, but he was familiar with the Weststar bank next door. Me stated #hat traffic flova can be confusing and since traffic flow rraay be a problem, maybe 50 cars is a better place to start. Rollie Kjesbo thinks it's a great idea, but is cancerned about traffic entering the structure and the po#ential far stacking out on the Frontage Road. Gary Hartman asked Tom to explain how the traffic situation, as it was taugh to pBay out. Tom Braun said there would be an attendant in the garage and if things got bad an emplayee could stand in the street to get the cars off the Frontage Road, Gary Hartman s#ated that he was cancerned about the traffic movementwhen ali the spaces were filled and there were cars sti11 in line and questioned how the would they get out. , i Doug Cahill stated tha# maybe the top level shouid only be used in the structure. ~ a Chas Bemhard# would like #o see haw the turning mawements work and also questioned how fhe shifts worked.

PIaRner: George Ruther/Allison Uchs Allisan C)chs gave a report per the staff memorandum. Tim Losa started his presentation by discussion traffic flow an the site; both pedestrian and vehicular as it currentfy is. He continued by showing a proposed plan for traffic circufation and stated that vehicular traffic would remain constan#, as a gas statian typically generates a great deal of traffic and its elimination would balance ou# with the elements of this proposal. He cantinued by talkSng about the public space along Meadow Qrive and whether or not retail belangs along this portion af Meadovv Qrive. He then moved onto the flaor plans and described the flow into the bui{ding frorn #he pvr# cvchere. He explained the uses on each fioor in #erms of hotel rooms, EHU's, and stairwells and stated that fhe 25,000 square tavt spa is similar in size to that of the new Riiz Carlton in Bachelor Gulch. He said currently the prograrn for the number and IocatFOn of the tiifferent types of units is being ciecided by the operator and the fractional fee units will be reached by private elevators. He then movEd on to the height of different elcments af the proposal and presented a diagram shawing the previous approval and the current proposal. He stated that they would look into reducing the height. He then showed the elevatians ana cross-sections and concluded his presentation by show`ng some 3-D studies which digitally placed the proposal in the streetscape. Jeff Winstan began by stating his first reaction was that this was big building and referred to his ComrnEnts, which were included in the packet. He referred to the Vail Master Plan which discusses putting taller buildings against the Frontage Road and stepping down tawards the mountain and added ~ that this building brings a new scale which does not exist currently in Vail. He said the WI is a large building but it is broken up into several srrzafler pieces. He feels cane item vvhich makes Vail "Vail" is the intimate scale and feels this is a rnansard roof, because you cannot see the top of the roaf from grade_ He said the rvof needs to be addressed, as it 9s not cansistent with the rest of Vail and said he does ! 4 . Approved 1127103 like the way the building steps dawn on the ends. Jahn Schofie{d asked the applicant to distribute the drawings around the room for uievwirag. ~ Dr. Paul Schuftz, from the SkaaC House, stated that they were an support of the pfan and raised questions to whether or nat retail belongs along Meadaw Drive as there is currently a surplus in Tovvn. Gwen Scalpello voiced saveral concerns on parking and circulation, as it wauld impact 9 Vail Piace, She said the heigh# wauld affect noise from the patios. R. G. Jacobs expressed cencerns abQUt proximity ta the two properties he manages and has concerns abaut the #oundatian closeness to the property line. Jae Staufer, representing Phase 4 and 5, said the proposaf is large, but ane must considered where it is focated. He said that at two association meetings, the proposal received favorable comments. He said it is a positive o ge# rid of the gas s#ation anci get a Four Season hc,tel in Vail. Jim Lamont, representing the Lionshead hom@awners association, sta#ed that this design os better than the previous. He said the height could be an issue discussed at future meetings. He discussed the PA Zaning and the benefits of an SDD and suggesfed there may be an opportunity to mave the ~ building more to the center of the site. Fie brought up the perennial Vail Land Use Plan of 1986, that , staff brings up as a"red herring." He said he does not feel thaf street #rant retail belongs aEong ; Meadaw Drive in thes stretch. He said access is critical, in terms di the pedestrian and vehicular. He ' said he is curious how trucks uvill iurn int4 the sate. He said future prajects in the works down Vail Road will potentially increase traffic along it, therefore creating mare canflict between wehicles and pedestrians. He said the largest change is that theTe should be a stunning draw along Meadaw Drive and the Frontage Road alang the raundabaut. e ~ Tim Lasa and John Koehfer rehashed the public comments and Jeff Winstons comment's_ fihey stated • ~ that 9 Vaii Road would still have their access as it exists tdday and they will look at breaking down the mass and providing better pedestrian access from Meadow Drive. Gary Hartman recused himself. aaug Cahill said it loaks like a grea# project. He is focused on massing, stepping down, and traffic circulatian, and said height is na# a problem, as it is in the right places. He said he would IEke to see better pedestrian access on Meadaw Drive and doesn'# see a need for the retail aspect orr the Meadow Drive fr4ntage. He said he would like to see the fagade along the Frontage Road broken up and moved around #o better match the character af Vail. Chas Bernhard# thinks this is a grand hotel and asked if Jeff WinstQn's camments could be incorporated, with regards ta breaicing the form up. He agrees that retail does no# belong an Meadow Drive. George Lamb agreecE with the previous camments, especially massing and pedestrian connectiQn_ He suggested sorne public art. Rollie Kjesbo mentioned the fong linear raofs a6ong the Frontage raad. He suggesteci to possibly tweak the peak which encroaches on the Alphorn avuay fram #he building. He then asked how the trucks are going to access the site_ John Schofield thinks the remaval of the gas station is great and it makes sense ta incor,pora#e it into ~ the site, but that aecess for pedestrians on Meadow Drive is mandatory and would like to see the bus stop incorparated alang Meadow Drive. He said the Frontage Road traffic is of concern and that Public 1Norks wiil need to examine it and he added that maybe truck traffie should go down to the VIlest Vail exit and come east on the Frantage Road. He said the Meadow Drive streetscape project needs to be incorporated inta the clesign and there was a need for an employee storage facility. He said height 5 ~ Approved 1l27103 . j i I should be tnreaked fa address the guaranteed right of 48 feet and adjacent rreighbors. He sugges#ed ! maybe going higher in the middle and lpwer an the ends to mitigate the height effects. He said the rnore employee housing the better. He said if the underground encroaches, then take i# to the property line and make it woric. He said hs does not see a need for retail on Meadow DriWe and he personally ~ i thinks a grand buifding would make a grand statement at the entrance vf a grand ski resort. , i The Baard, as a whole, in generaE supported going up a flaar in #he middle and bringing if dawn an the , ends, Chas Bernhardt made a motion to table this until Mareh 10, 2403.

Planner: George Ruther/Warren Garnpbell ~ George Ruther gaue a presenta#ion per the staff report. Tar-r+ Braun and Mike Foster gave a presentation. We stated that George Ruther gave a good synopsis ~ of the proposal and then summarized the changes to the projecf since the last meeting. i Jeff Winstan presented his mernorandum regarding the propasal and stated ihat the building is a nice looking building. He stated that it is too bad that we can'# dQ something to link the 3 buildings. He saitf the key to VaiE's success is the pedestrian experience of Vail and it's rrot a city of monuments; it's a city of cantirauous experience. The question of what is #he rule with sunlshade is answered by the fact that it shall no# substantiaEly increase. He said the current experience, even with the parking lots, is a very pleasant experience with the berms, landscaprng, sun, etc. Jeff states that this praposal wila substantially increase the shading an the street and on the pedestrian experience. ln addition to shading, the proposal does nat create the same sense af ins and outs at the 1JVl. The buildings at the WI are turnerf on a 45 degree angle, which is very successful to adding variety and interes# to the streetscape. He stated that there may be some areas where the building could get shorker to add to varie#y and this would add vitality to the Village, creating sun pockets_ He said there was m4re movement in the fagade of the building by moving it further from the street, so that it doesn't entirely shade the street. He said stepping the upper building back fram the arcade, popping indentatians into ~ the fagade, and varying the stepbacks are the majc+r issues identified. Jeff stated that the proposal i tlaes meet the street width recommendatians of #he master plans. Marilyn Fleischer sfated she has 1ived here since 1962 and is nat oppased to growth in the Town of VaiB, but it needs to be in asafe, econamical, and sensitive way. 5he stated #hat the proposal is nat in keeping with the zaning, with respects to site coverage and setbacks. She said she doesn't want to come and ga within a Talisman eave_ She requests that the Sannenaip abide by the ZO ft. setbacks, ~ and provide safe and efficient access to the TaGisman, 6 . Approved 1127l03 Fred Haynes, frarn the Talisman, stated that it was interesting to hear the comments vuith regards to the Four Seasons. He said the T'alisman opened in 1970 and they haue owners that have been there since it opened, so this ns not a project which has #urnover. He said they consider this a second home ~ and that this is a resit}ential property and that this shouid be taken under consideration when reviewing the proposal. He s#ated that the gQafs #or the Sonnenalp are for profit only, however, the Talisman's interes#s are residential interests. All he is asking the PEG, is that they take into consideration their needs and tha# it is very irnpartant that they maintain the residential character of their building. He said #hey spent $118,000 on 3 different consulting groups to work out an agreement with the Sonnenalp and they laakecf at changing property lines, easements, etc. He said the Sonnenalp said that it was too difficult ta con#inue working with the Talisman. He asked that #he PEC to consNder ihese 3 things: 1. That character is enhanced wEth a pedestrian-ariented dewelopment and if there are cars on Nleadow Dr., it is nat successful; 2. That the height of the building should consider the sun/shade impact; and 3. That the 20 ft. setback needs to be addressed, even If it means maving property fines. He said the PEC must now resolWe these issuES. He hopes that they su,pporE the Tafisman as much as they support the Sonnenalp. Bill Amos, an owner within the Talisman, stated tha# he was the person who began warking with the Sonnenalp, and he has realized how difficul4 it is ta get 13 peopfe to agree and that they have been thrown into a lifeboat an the sea ofi pragress. He stated that there are overlapping issues, and that they are all in the same boat and need to work tagether. He stated that the Talisrnan must have access to their building and failure is not an option„ so they have to wcark together. He believes ihat there i5 a solutiorr arrd that he is willing to sit dawn and work on a salution. Larry Eskwith, Tepresenting the Taiisman Condn Association, stated tha# he is giving the official Board positinn on the Sc?nnenalp praposal. He stated that there is no se#back on the interiar property [ines. He stated that the PEC cannat grant a deviatian from the 20 ft. setback, but he sta;ted that he dmes not believe that the Sonnenalp can meet the criteria. He stated that staff did a very goad job of identifying ~ the issues with regards ta the design and that the TaGsrnan would like ta see Meadow Qr. remain pedestrian, however, they do not have the ability #v enforce this, as it would be through the Sonnenalp pr4perty. He said he is worried abaut the safety aspect of pufting cars on Meadow Qr. and is aiso concemed about #he shading on the decks of the restaurants acrass the street. Jim Larnont, Vail Village Hameowners Association, stated #hat this business of exactions is difficult. He would hate to see an attitude develop #hat heating #he streets is a requirement af #he developer and is heating of the streets an essential part of making the econamic engine wark better?
