Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Pylman & Associates, Inc. Planner: Bil6 Gibson ACTION: Tabled to July 25, 2005 MOTION: Lamb SECOND: Jewitt VOTE: 6.0-1 (Vis)e recused) Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum. Kurt Fentress, of Fentress Bradburn Architects, presented an overview of the proposed conference center building using powerpoint slides and a model of the conference center. Rick Pylman introduced a model of the project to the Commission members at which time discussions regarding the specifics of grade, loading docks, access with the Vaii International, and other basic topics, ensued. Brent Lloyd, a landscape architect working an the project, detailed the landscaping, finishes, and pedestrian environment. Jim Lamont, representing Vail Village Homeowners, commented that 2,0DO lineal feet of retaining wall seemed a little generic far the development site and use. He also expressed interest in seeing digital visual representations of the building and surrounding structures, much as has been done far other development projects within the Town. Russ Forrest and the Commission member discussed why the number of proposed parking spaces was proposed. Bill Jewitt commented that a major parking problem existed along the Frontage Road already. He added that the study done by HVS did not seem fair or reasonable. The parking plan seemed clearly designed to fit the building, instead of the opposite scenario occurring. The I, money that was received from Vail Resorts was intended to address the lack ofi public parking, and not to provide parking for the conference center. Chas Bernhardt asked Russ Forrest how many high-use days were expected for this facility, to which Russ Forrest replied that the calendar of events and the actual availability of parking could be studied on a deeper level if necessary. Chas replied that the developments which were being considered throughout the area were already prompting an increase in the number of necessary spaces available to Lionshead locals and visitors. ft was mentioned that many visitors will not be needing parking due to their original locales outside of the Vail Valley. Bill Jewitt commented that more parking spaces, no# details, were needed as a part of this application. Kaye Ferry commented that parking has been a concern to her since the beginning of the project The parking numbers have been °massaged" into paying far themselves. She was concerned by comments from the applicant indicating the Holy Cross site was not selelcted a conference center because the project won't comply with the Town's own rules and regulations. She commented that a parking calculation had been applied to private developers,. which is not being proposed for this Town project. Bill Jewitt asked if the whole area was oonsidered one development site, if such consideration prompted that the parking structure be sprinkled. Rick Pylman noted that for building code purposes there is a perceived property line between the conference center and parking structure and that the existing parking structure needs to be updated to meet building codes regardless of the conference center. Same discussion ensued regarding the need for part-time employee parking. Doug Cahill commented that the parking standards which are currently in place may be as effective or accurate as they need to be and may need #o be revisited. The applicant promised further Employee Housing and parking calculations at following meetings, as well as some additional digital representations of the project. Bill Jewitt commented that this was a big building which entirely dominated the parking structure. However, he added that if the project was to be built, the parking structure would most certainky be re-developed and the design of the Center would likely change. From East Lionshead Circle, the structure's significance could be overwhelming. In sum, he still wished for the "mushroom design". Ro11ie Kjesbo commented that taming left out of Lionshead Circle could be potentially very difficult and hazardous, Regarding other aspects, some work needed to be done to address the relationship to the Vail lntemational and Evergreen Lodge. He also noted that only 125 parking spaces were not adequate and would not be approved for a private conference center project, George Lamb considered parking the biggest issue of the entire project. To allow parking to continue to be an issue would be a grave error. Regarding employee housing, spay-in-lieu. sys#em seemed to make sense and needed to be approved with expediency. Receiving CDDT approval early in the review process was a wise move an the applicants part. ' Anne Gunion commented that this site should be viewed as an urban infili site, with no way to meet the landscaping requirements. When viewed from that perspective, many mare aspects of the project could be well-managed and "compliant". The HVS study should be read thoroughly by all and critiqued equally as thoroughly, since the study results are based upon numerous assumptions that have many "outsn. Regarding employee housing, the formula for calculating housing provision is currently inadequate should be amended. The pay-in-lieu concept is a good one, but is not conducive for providing housing for all types of employees. Chas Qernhardt agreed with Ms. Gunion's comments regarding urban infili. Vai] Resort's money for parking shouid be used to expand the existing structure, especially since other uses such as the medical center's employees are using the structure on a daily basis. Vail Resort's money should not be used to subsidize the conference center. The pay-in-lieu employee housing system makes sense considering the high values of land within the Town. The design, he finished, was simple and sensible. Doug Cahill summarized the Commission's comments by saying that mare information was going to be needed on a variety of issues. A master plan should be devised that is flexible enough to address all of the issues and future development along the Frontage Road. As far employee housing, the lack thereof (on this site) further exacerbated the existing parking problem. Additional information about parking should be presented soon and the uses of the facility should never be hindered by a lack of parking. The conference center should function as a stand-alone project in regard to parking. Russ Forrest asked Ms. Gunion if illustrating the relationship of this project to the streetscape would be helpful in evaluating the landscaping requirements, etc. It was decided that digital presentations would be quite valuable.. Ms. Gunion added that unique approaches could be taken while evaluating the "requirements" of landscaping, transition areas, and other similar development standards. She encouraged the committee to cut costs only an the things which could not be seen. Jim Lamont commented that this redevelopment effort was the Town's last chance for several years to update the roadways and circulation patterns. Perhaps some thought should be paid to creating around-about in this area. Fie added that the addition of landscaping, even in the most urban areas, created green canopies in the summer and filtered sunlight in the winter. Mature needed to be incorporated -into urban landscapes as much as possible, enhancing the buildings. Fie finished by saying that it would be better to present a project which exceeded expectations rather than to simply cut costs to make the project politically viable. 2. A request far a correction to the Vail Land Use Plan to designate the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Area and an amendment to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to amend, in park,.

A request far a final review of a text amendment to Section 12-7A-7, Height, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-3, Amendments, to increase the height limitation far a sloping roof from 4~' to 5~5' in the Public Accornmodatian zone district, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: George Ruther ACTION: Recommendation of approval MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Viele VOTE: 7-0-0 George Ruther made a presentation per the staff memorandum. The Commissioners asked several questions regarding the proposal. Such as were there any limits on how high the eave of a structure could be located. Commissioner Cahill expressed concern that the PEC had recently reviewed the Crossroads redevelopment application and many people were concerned with the height of the proposed building and changing the feel of the Village. Changing the height in Public Accommodation zone district could change the feeling of the Village as many of the properties are located an the periphery of the Village. George Ruther stated that the proposed text amendment did not include any provisions for limiting the height of eaves. It was felt that ail the Public Accommodation zoned properties are different and each situation would be different and the Design Review process would serve as the process for ensuring good design. 6.

Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Pylman & Associates, Inc. Planner: Bill Gibson I. SUMMARY The applicant, Town of Vail, represented by Pylman ~ Associates, Inc., has submitted applications to allow for the construction of a Conference Center located at the "'Charter Bus Lot" site adjacent to the Lionshead Parking Structure.. Today's discussion will be a work session to further discuss the proposal. The Commission is not being asked to take any formal actions at this time. II. BACKGROUND Can June 13 and 20, 2005, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a worksession #o discuss the proposed Conference Center project. ©n July f, 2005, the Design Review Board conceptually reviewed the proposed Conference Center project. III. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Additions! AoalicatvnslSukamittal Requirements 1, Required Approvals The proposed Conference Center project will require the following approvals • General election ballot initiative for additional funding • Resolution of all private protective covenant issues • Approval from Vail International (construction on their property) Conditional Use Permit (Conference Center} • Conditional Use Permit (parking structure modifications) • Design Review (Canference Center, parking structure, East Lianshead Circle and South Frontage Road streetscape) • Variance (excessive driveway grades) • Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan amendments • Minor Subdivision Amended Final Plat • Ccalarado Departrraent of Transportation Permits 2. Addiitianal Applications Minor Subdivision: Currently the Lianshead Parking Structure and the proposed Conference Center are located on two lots and the Eas# Lianshead Circle Right-of-Way. The applicant must update these property boundaries and vacate the existing, abandoned portions of the East Lianshead Circle Right-of-Way through the minor subdivision application process. Variance: The proposed driveway from the South Frontage Road to the Conference Center's eastern parking structure entrance and loading dock entrance are too steep to comply with Town of Vail's minimum engineering standards. The applicant must amend the proposed driveway to comply with these standards (Title 14, Development Standards Handbook, Vail Town Code} or receive Planning and Environmental Commission approval of a variance. 2. Required Additional Application Materials The following is a preliminary list of materials, in addition to the above listed applications, not yet submitted by the applicant: a 3- dimensional model of the Conference Center and its surrounding, develaprnent standard calculations, architectural plans showing the Canference Center in its neighborhood confext, statements of compliance with the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan and the Town of Vail Transportation Master Plan, and any other materials deemed necessary by the PEC, DRB, or staff. B. Zanina Reaulations 1. General Use Zone District The Lionshead Parking Structure and Charter Bus Lot are zoned General Use District. Within the General Use District the allowed development statistics are prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission as part of a conditional use permit: application. © Purpose The general use district is intended to provide sites far public and quasi.-public uses which,. because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards prescribed far other zoning districts, and for which development standards especially prescribed for 2 each particular development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in section 12-1-2 of this title and to provide for the public welfare. The general use district is intended to ensure that public buildings and grounds and certain types of quasi-public uses permitted in the district are appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and, in the case of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses. o Uses "Public theaters, meeting rooms and convention facilities" ~i.e. the proposed Conference Center) and "public parking facilities and structures" (i.e. the Lionshead Parking Structure) are allowed within the General Use District subject to Planning .and Environmental Commission approval of a conditional use permit. o Lot arealsite dimensions The Conference Center development site includes the existing Lionshead Parking Structure, Charter Bus Lot, and the East Lionshead Circle Right-of-Way. The proposed development site boundaries and lot area can not be accurately determined until the applicant submits a minor subdivision application to replat this property. o Setbacks The determination of setback standards can not accurately be determined until the applicant submits a minor subdivision application to replat this property. At this time the Conference Genter building is approximately 10 feet from the South Frontage Road Right-af-Way on the north, abuts the Lionshead Parking Structure on the west, encroaches up to 34 feet into the East Lionshead Circle Right-of-Way on the east, and is 0 to 90 feet from the East Lionshead Circle Right-of- Way Right-of-Way on the south 4however, proposed decks do encroach from the south side of the building into the East Lionshead Circle Right-of-Way}. o Building Height The applicant must submit a revised building height calculation plan; however, the Conference Center's primary ridge appears to be 7'0 feet in height above the current Charter Bus Lot grade. The proposed eave line on the south side of the building will be approximately SO feet in height above East Lionshead Circle. c~ tensity Control There are no dwelling unit or gross residential floor area (GRFA) proposed with the Conference Center project. The applicant is currently proposing the following floor area program for this building: Use Square Footage Pre-function and lobby: 13,776 Ballroom: 30,008 Meeting rooms: 10,100 Meeting room support: 4,392 Food 5ervicelKitchen: 4,434 Operations: 18,523 Loading Qoclc: 12,649 Administration: 3,302 Infrastructurelcirculation 23,367 Total: 123,205 o Site Coverage The determination of site coverage standards can not accurately be determined until the applicant submits a minor subdivision application to replat this property. The applicant is estimating the proposed site coverage to be 59,677 sq.ft., The applicant estimates this to be 61'%0 of what they consider the Charter Bus Lot site. o Landscaping and Site Development The determination of landscaping standards can not accurately be determined until the applicant submits a minor subdivision application to replat this property. The applicant is proposing to landscape the 10-12 foot wide median between the Conference Center and the South Frontage Road. The applicant is also proposing a landscaping bed at the northeast corner of the Conference Center with an approximately 10 foot strip of landscaping between the building and the east access drive. The applicant is also proposing a 10 to 40 foot wide strip of landscaping between the access drive and Vail International and Dobson Ice Arena; however, much of this proposed landscaping is located within the existing East Lionshead Circle Right-of-Way and on Vail International's property. There are also small landscape planters proposed along the south side of the Conference Center building. The applicant is estimating the proposed landscaping to be 7,142 sq_ ft.. The applicant estimates this to be 7°/a of what they consider the Charter Bus Lot site. The applicant is also proposing a hardscape areas at the norkh entrance to the facility and a hardscape patio area an the south side of the building along Bast Lionshead Circle. The applicant is estimating the proposed hardscaping to be 59,677 sq.ft.. The applicant estimates this to be 13% of what they consider the Charter Bus Lot site. • 4 Existing landscaping will be removed along the Werth side of the Lionshead Parking Structure to accommodate the new entrance and slang the south side of the structure to accommodate the new shuttle bus turn-around. o Parking and Loading Required: 334 spaces Proposed: 125 Spaces Pursuant to Section 12-10-10, Vail Town Code, convention facilities are required to provide 1 parking space per 120 sq. ft. of seating area. The applicant is proposing approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of ballroom area and approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of meeting rooms. This approximately 40,000 sq. ft. of seating area requires 334 parking spaces. This does not take into consideration the 14,000 to 21,000 sq. ft. of pre-function, registration, corridor, vestibule areas which are commonly utilized by conference and event organizers. Including these areas would increase the parking requirement by 116 to 175 additional spaces. The applicant is proposing to construct a 325 space parking structure within the Conference Center building; however, 75 of these spaces replace the 75 space eliminated by the construction of the new Lionshead Parking Structure entrance. Construction of the other 125 spaces is being funded by Vail Resorts and may be used to off-set their parking requirements for their other 'Lionshead area construction projects. The applicant has hired HVS Convention, Sports, and Entertainment to prepare a parking analysis. The applicant is proposing that this analysis justifies the construction of 125 parking spaces for the conference center rather than the minimum of 334 required by the Town Code. A copy of the analysis was attached in the June 13, 2005, Planning and Environmental Commission memorandum. The HVS analysis examines the parking use demands for the Conference Center in relation to the public use of the Lionshead Parking Structure. The new conference center parking structure is designed to connect to the Lionshead Parking Structure. The analysis generally concludes that parking is adequately addressed on "design days" and "peak days" during the shoulder and summer season; however, parking deficits still exist on bath "design days" and "peak days" during the winter season. The proposed South Frontage Road improvements include the construction of a widen shoulder on the north side of the road'. It is anticipated that winter season aver-flow parking will continue to be accamrnodated along the South Frontage Road. The parking analysis recommends 10 of the 325 parking spaces be used for the estimated 20 full-time employees, The analysis recognizes that large events of 1,000 or more people may require 12 additional staff plus 70 to 80 part-time staff fat the July 6, 2005, Design Review- Board meeting, the applicant noted that community events of up to 3,000 people could be accommodated). The parking analysis identifies the need for an appropriate facility management plan to address the transportation needs of both conference center employees and users; especially during large conference center events, during peak days, during the winter season, or when other large parking demands are placed on the Lionshead Parking Structure such as events at Dobson Ice Arena. o Employee Housing The Town of Vail's requires development projects to provide housing for 15% of all new employees. The Town of Vail calculates the number of new employees based upon the 1991 Rosall Remmers Cares "Employee Generation Rates" analysis, unless more specific, project specific employment information is available. The applicant has not provided the Town of Vail Housing Division, or the Vail Local Housing Authority, with any specific employment projections. Therefore, the "Employee Generation Rates°' analysis will be used to calculate the employee housing requirement for the Conference Center project. This analysis calculates employee generation for a conference center at a rate of 1 employee per 1,000 sq. ft. Based solely upon the ballroom and meeting room area of approximately 40,000 sq. ft., 40 new employees will be generated by the Conference Center project. This employee generation calculation does not include any pre-function, registration, corridor, or vestibule areas which are commonly utilized' by conference and event organizers; nor does it include any kitchen or office spaces. Based upon 40 new employees, the Conference Center is required to provide housing for 6 employees. The applicant is not proposing to construct any employee housing. Instead, the applicant is proposing to provide the Town of Vail with the cash equivalent of 7 employee housing units; however, the Town has no adopted formally adopted "pay-in-lieu" program. 2. Conditional Uses The Planning and Environmental Commission will be reviewing the proposed conditional use permit applications for the Conference Center and Lianshead Parking Structure based upon the following criteria: G 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the town. 2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transpor#atian facilities, utilities,. schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. 3. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flew and control, access, maneuverability, and removal ofi snow from the streets and parking areas. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. 5. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed use. B. Lionshead Redevetor~ment Master Plan The Lionshead Parking Structure and the Charter Bus Lot are located within the boundaries of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, and the proposed Conference Center project must be reviewed for conformance with the master plan. There are numerous portions of the master plan that are applicable to this project and the Commission should review the master plan document and the Staff memorandums dated June 13 and June 27, 2Q©5, for additional information. 1. PurposelObjecti~es: There are several fundamental design objectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan that are applicable to the Conference Center project: • Pedestrian Environment: o create a generator for activity; create a cohesive, consistent, well defined pedestrianfretail environment o create a connection between C7obson Ice Arena and the west edge of Lionshead Vehicular Circulation: create efficient access to private and public destinations without negative impacts to pedestrian and residential areas +~ Transit: an effective and flexible public transit system is essential for the entire Lionshead area. • Service and Delivery: a consolidated, efficient network meeting current and futures needs that reduces interference with pedestrians, emergency services, and traffic. • Parking: to provide adequate public parking in Lionshead and the community as a whole • 2. Existing Conditions: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan thoroughly inventories the existing conditions of the Lionshead area. An important item of note within this inventory includes the identified need for additional meetinglconference facilities within the Lionshead area. Also within this inventory, the master plan identifies the need to address bicyclelpedestrian traffic, vehicular turning movements and parking along the South Frontage Road; and the need to address pedestrian traffic, transit, loading/delivery, and skier drop-off along East Lionshead Circle. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan also identifies the need to address the existing parking shortfall within the Town of Vail and highlights haw no new development should create a net-loss of parking. 3. Recomrrrendati©ns: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan makes numerous general and specific recommendations that are relevant to the proposed Conference Center project. General Recommendations: The following is a very brief summary pf the general recommendations applicable to the Conference Center project: • The proposed Conference Center, the Lionshead Parking Structure, Dobson Ice Arena, and the Library should create an "East Lionshead Civic Hub". • A physical connection needs to be created between Lionshead and Vail Village, a part of which should include streetscape improvements. • Connections need to be made to the natural environment, which can be addressed in numerous ways including building orientation and the preservation of view corridors. • Improvement should be made to the South Frontage Road to provide a ~ bicycle/pedestrian path, improve circulation, and improve the visual quality of the street. • Loading and delivery facilities should be located within buildings and the impacts of traffic, Heise, exhaust, etc. should be minimized. An intensely developed pedestrian walkway should be developed clang the south edge of the Lionshead Parking Structure. • Architecture and landscaping along East Lionshead Circle should create a consistent architecture to link I~obsan Ice Arena with the east porta9 of Lionshead. • Parking must be sufficient to meet the demand, parking should relate to pedestrian circulation and access points, new parking should be constructed below-grade, and no construction shall cause a net loss of parking. • The Lionshead Parking Structure is a potential Eacation for new, additional public parking. • Charter bus parking may be displaced by a new conference center. An alternate bus parking locations include Ford Park, new transit center, ordown-valley. • The Lionshead Parking Structure is a potential location far new employee housing. • Development projects should seek to incorporate public art according to the Town of Vail Art in Public Places Master Plan. Detailed Pian Recommendations: The following is a very brief summary of the detailed plan recommendations for the Conference Center project: • A future civic center {i.e. the Conference Center) should accommodate a variety of uses, but the Town Council will decide the specific development program. • The Lionshead Parking Structure should be the primary means of access to the Conference Center. • The southeast corner of the site should be a drop-off area and arrival point for pet~ple walking. • The front entrance should be highly visible with ample plaza space. • The front doors should provide vertical access through the building and pedestrian plaza. • An architectural connection between the Conference Center and Dobson Ice Arena is needed. • A cohesive pedestrian plaza should link the new center, Dobson Ice Arena, Library, and the Lionshead Parking Structure. • If the East Lionshead Circle extension is closed, a new access for Vail International is required an the South Fron#age Road. • Delivery points should include the southeast end of Dobson andlar a South Frontage Road access far the new civic center. No delivery points should create regu]ar delivery traffic on East Lionshead Circle. • The Conference Center should serve as East Lionshead Circle visual terminous. • A strong connection is needed between the Conference Center's pedestrian plaza and East Lionshead Circle. • A strong connection is needed between the Conference Center and Dobson Ice Arena and may include common entrances, lobbies, ticketing, concessions, and abelow-grade #unnel. • Additional parking must be built {in the existing Lionshead parking structure or nearby) and the charter bus parking lot must be relocated before the Conference Center can be built. Additional decks an the existing structure or a new public structure in west Lionshead may be necessary when the Conference Center is constructed. + The Conference Center is integrally tied to development on the south face of the Lionshead parking structure and East Lionshead Circle streetscape enhancements. 9 4. Architectural Design Guidelines: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan includes specific qualitative and quantitative architectural design guidelines for new development and redevelopment projects within the Lionshead area. These guidelines address: • Building Form and Massing • Building Height Exterior Wolfs • Exterior Doars and Windows • Balconies, Guardrails, and Handrails • Roofs • Fireplaces and Chimneys • Details • Quantitative Criteria The Design Review Board' will be reviewing the proposed Conference Center in contex# of these requirements. It is Staff's belief that the proposed Conference Center will not fuCly comply with these guidelines and the applicant will need to pursue an application to allow for deviations from these standards. Such a request will require the review and recommendation of the Design Review Board followed by review and approval by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The quantitative standards of these architectural guidelines should be considered by the Planning and Environmental Commission during the review of the Conference Center conditional use permit application. The following quantitative criteria are directly applicable to the bulklmass of this proposed building: * Save height: 60' maximum and 12' minimum step back • Ridge heights: 71' average maximum height and 82.5' absolute maximum height • WaII surfaces: 35' maximum vertical face and horizontal steps required • Horizontal Wall Spans: 30' maximum span at street level • Roof Dimensional Guidelines: 30" min eave and rake overhangs, and 18" overhangs at secondary roofs • Roof Pitch: primary roof from 6:12 to 12:32. and secondary roof from 4:12 to 12:12 {or flat}. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION As this is a worksession, the Commission is not being asked to take any formal action at this time. Staff recommends the Commission table these items for further discussion at the July 25, 2005, Planning and Environmental Commission public hearing. IV.

Based upon Staff's review of the criteria in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approval, ~++~ith conditions, of the setback variance request and denial of the GRFA variance request subject to the findings noted in Section IX of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST On June 20, 2005, the Planning and Environmental Commission review the applicants' proposal to construct a garage addition and widen the driveway for Units 18A (Stephenson} and 1813 {Schofield}; plus construct a new entry, elevator, and bedroom addition and a new exterior stair case for Unit 18A. This previous proposal required variances from the setback, site coverage, and GRFA standards of the Two-Family Residential District. Since that meeting, the applicant has amended the proposal and withdrawn the site coverage variance request. The applicant is now proposing to enlarge the existing three car garage to the west to create a four car garage {two spaces per dwelling unit} and to construct an elevator addition to Unit 18A. The proposed bedroom addition has been eliminated and the proposed enclosed entry has been amended to be an unenclosed 4-foot entry roof overhang. The applicant is still proposing to waders the existing driveway and construct a new exterior stair from the driveway to the third-floor entry to Unit 18A, The praposed garage addition to Units 18A and 186 is counted as site coverage and as GRFA garage deduction and encroaches into the required 20 foot front setback by 2 '/2 feet. The proposed garage requires Planning and Environmental Commission approval of a variance from the setback standards. The amended entry roof overhand no longer counts as GRFA or site coverage, and no longer requires the approval of any variances from the zoning standards- The proposed elevator for Unit 1$A counts as both site coverage and, per Town Cade, three stories of GRFA {i.e. level 1 -garage level, level 2 w mechanical level, and level 3 - living level}. Per the International Residential Code (i.e. building code} the elevator cab must be enclosed in a shaft. The elevator must be separated from the garage and can not be considered as part of the GRFA garage deduction. The proposed elevator requires Planning and Environmental Commission approval of a variance from the GRFA standards. The applicant's amended garage/elevator addition now involves a new retaining wall between the drivewayfentry area and the proposed exterior stair. This proposed retaining wail is greater than 13 feet in height and does not comply with maximum fi foot height limit prescribed by the Tawn Code. The applicant must revise the design of this wall and the proposed exterior stair or submit a variance application for future review by the Planning and Environmental Commission. A vicinity map (Attachment A}, site photographs (Attachment B}, a more detailed description of the applicant's request {Attachments C}, and the praposed architectural plans (Attachment D) have been attached far reference. III. BACKGROUND This two-family residence was originally approved by the Town of Vail Design Review Board in 1976 and construction was completed in 1978. The structure was constructed with more GRFA than was allowed by zonirLg. Throughout the course of numerous amendments to the Town of Vail's GRFA regulations, this structure has continued to exceed the allowable GRFA limits. Today this structure exceeds the allowable GRFA limits by approximately 1,515 sq. ft. or 21'%. C7n June 20, 2005, the Planning and Environmental ,Commission reviewed the applicants' proposal to construct a garage addition and widen the driveway for Units 18A {Stephenson} and 18B (Schofield}; plus construct a new entry, elevator, and bedroom addition and a new exterior stair case for Unit 18A. This previous proposal required variances from the setback, site coverage, and GRFA standards of the Two-Family Residential District. The Commission was generally supportive of the setback variance request; however, the Commission was less favorable toward the requested GRFA and site coverage variances. The applicant has since amended this .proposal (see Section I above}. . IV.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by Chapter 12-1~6, Vail Town Code. A. Consideration of Facfors Reaardin4 Variances: The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. This prapased addition is associated with a remodeE of an existing residence originally approved by the Design Review Board in 1976 with construction completed in 1978. The applicant is proposing to construct a garage addition that, due to the orientation of the structure to the property line and Vail Valley Drive, encroaches 2'/~ feet into the required 20 foot front setback. In 1991, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a front setback variance to allow far the construction of an additional garage bay to the east of the existing garages. This prapased garage encroached 12.5 feet into the 20 foot setback; however, this addition was never constructed. Therefore, Staff believes the proposed setback variance for this proposed garage addition will not be detrimental to the existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. This existing residence currently exceeds the allowable GRPA far this site by approximately 1, 515 sq. ft., which is 21 % GRFA than is allowed for other residences in the same zone district. The applicant is proposing the addition of a new elevator that will further increase the non-conformity of this property. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request; the structure wi11 exceed the allowable GRFA by approximately 1,647 sq. ft. This is 23% more GRFA than is alCowed for other residences in this same zone district. Staff does not believe deviations from the GRFA regulations to this degree are in keeping with the bulk/mass and general character of the Twa-Family zone district. Therefore, Staff does not believe the proposed GRFA variance request is in keeping with the bulklmass and general character of the neighboring properties. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and liiteral interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of thus title without a gran# of special privilege. The applicant is proposing to construct a garage addition that, due to the orientation of the structure to the property line and Va'rl Valley Drive, encroaches ~'/z feet into the required 20 foot front setback. In 1891, the Planning and Environmental Commission. approved a front setback variance to allow for the construction of an additional garage bay to the east of the existing garages. This proposed garage encroached 12.5 feet into the 2D foot setback; however, this addition was never constructed. Therefore, Staff believes the proposed setback uariance is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the Town's development objectives. As the Planning and Environmental Commission has historically approved several similar setback variance requests, Staff does not believe approval of this request will constitute a grant of special privilege. This existing residence currently exceeds the allowable GRFA. for this site by 1,515 sq. ft.; which is 21% more GRFA than is allowed for other residences in the same zone district. The applicant is proposing the addition of an elevator that will further increase the non-conformity of this property. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request; the structure will exceed the allowable GRFA by approximately 1,647 sq. ft. This is 23% more GRFA than is allowed far other residences in this same zone district. Staff does not believe deviations from the GRFA regulations to this degree are in keeping with the bulklmass and general character of the Two-Family zone district and the neighboring properties. Staff also believes approval of the proposed GRFA variance request would be a grant of special privilege. Since this property already exceeds the maximum allowable GRFA, Staff does not believe a further increase is appropriate. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and aiir, distribution of. population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant impact on the public health, safety or welfare, public facilities, utilities, or light and air in comparison to existing conditions of the site. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the comrnissian deems applicable to the proposed variance. 13. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the foHowina findings _. _. before granfina a variance: That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. ~. That the granting of 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 far one or more of the fiollowing reasons: a. The strict li#eral interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b, There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable io the same site of the variance that da not apply generally to other properties in the same zone, c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. IX.

Applicant: Evergreen Lodge at Vail, represented by HB Development Company Planner: George Rather • • MEMORANDUM TD: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: July 11, 2005 SUBJECT: A request. for a final review of a text amendment to Section 12-7A-7, Height, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-3, Amendments, to increase the height limitation for a sloping roof from 48' to 56' in the Public Accommodation zone district; and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC05-0035) Applicant: Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: George Ruther I. SUMMARY The applicant, Mauriello Planning Group, is proposing a text amendment to Section 12-7A-7, Height, Vail Town Code, to increase the height limitation for a sloping roof from 48' to 56' in the Public Accommodation zone district, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Based upon Staff s review of the criteria in Section V of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval with modifications to the Vail Town Council for the proposed text amendment, subject to the findings noted in Section V1 of this memorandum. II. DESCRIRTI~DN t3F THE REQUEST The intent of this application is to amend the building height limitation for development located within the Public Accommodation (PA) zone district. The applicant, Mauriello Planning Group, is proposing a text amendment to Section 12-7A-7, Height., Vail Town Code, to increase the height limitation for a sloping roof from 48' to 56' and for a flat roof from 45` to 63', in the Public Accommodation zone district. Currently, Section 12-7A-7, Height, Vail Town Code, limits the maximum allowable height for buildings with sloping roofs to forty-eight feet (48') and forty-five feet (45') for flat or mansard roofs in the Public Accommodation zone district. In order to facilitate the adoption of the proposed text amendment, staff has identified several other amendments which should also be considered for inclusion into an amending ordinance. Each of the additional amendments is described below: The proposed text amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code, are as follows (deletions are shaven in stril °° tin additions are shown in bold): 12-7A-7: HEIGHT: For a flat roof ar mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed fe~y<-f+de feet-~-5~ fifty three feet (53'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed f~i~h- fee~{4~'} fifty six feet (56'). 12-2-2: DEFINITIONS: Roof, Sloping: A shed, gabled, hipped, ar similar roof form with a pitch of at least one fast of vertical rise aver four feet of horizontal distance measured in the direction of the pitch. Roof, Flat: A roof with a pitch less than one foot of vertical rise aver fear feet of horizontal distance measured in the direction of the pitch. III. BACKGROI~ND The specific building height provision of Section 12-7A-7, Vail Town Code, was originally adopted by Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1 g7G. According to Town records, at the time of the original adoption, the maximum allowable building height in the Public Accommodation zone district was 45 feet, regardless of roof type. The maximum allowable building height limitation was amended pursuant to Ordinance No. 37, Series of 198{}. Pursuant to ordinance No. 37, among other revisions, the maximum allowable building height in the Public Accommodation zone district was increased from 45 feet to 48 feet for sloping roofs, and 45 feet for mansard or flat roofs. 1n 1991, the Vail Town Council adopted the DEVELOPMENT CDDE REVISI+~N REPORT. Phase I, "An Assessmenf of the Town of Vaii Zoning Code and Recommendations forAcfion" The purpose of this report was to analyze the regulations prescribed in the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations and make recommendations for improvements. Upon review of the development standards prescribed for the district, the report recommends amendments to the density control provisions. It makes no reference or recommendations for amendments to the building height standard. In 1999, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, which provided for a comprehensive amendment to each of the development standards prescribed for the Public Accommodation zone district with the exception of building height. Amendments to the building height limitation were considered at the time, however, it was determined that the maximum building height should not be amended. In 2003, Bob Lazier, represented by Jay Peterson, proposed a text amendment to Section 12-7A-7 (Height) of the Vail Town Gode, The amendment was intended to increase the maximum allowable building height of structures built in the Public Accommodation zone district from 48 feet to 56 feet far buildings with sloping roofs and from 45 feet to 53 feet for buildings with flat or mansard roofs. Following a warksession discussion with the applicant, the PEC and the Town Council, the applicant withdrew the text amendment application and submitted a development application to establish a special development district (SDD). As a result, SDD #37, Tivoli Lodge, was created. The Tivoli Lodge was approved with a maximum building height of 5fi'. Accordiing to the Official Zoning Map, there are sixteen properties in the Town of Vail zoned Public Accommodation. These properties are generally located around the periphery of the village commercial core area and include the Austria Haus*, Bavaria Haus, Chateau at Vail (Holiday Inn)", Christiania Lodge*, First Bank of Vail, Galatyn Lodge*, Mountain Haus, 9 Vail Road (Holiday House}, Ramsharn Condominiums*, One Willow Bridge Road*, Roast Lodge, Talisman, Tivoli Lodge*, Vail Athletic Club*, Vail Village Inn*, and Villa Valhalla. Of these sixteen properties, nine have received approvals for special development districts or were granted a height variance and have been identified with an asterisk (*). IV. ROLES OF REVIEWING BODIES Order of Review: Generally, text amendment applications will be reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Commission will forward a recommendation to the Town Council, The Town Council will then review the text amendment application. Planning and Environmental Commission: The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for the review of a text amendment application, pursuant to Section 12-3-T, Amendment, Vail Town Cade, and forwarding of a recommendation to the Town Council. Design Review Board: The Design Review Board has no review authority over a text amendment to the Vail Town Code. Town Council: The Town Council is responsible far final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of a text amendment application, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Cade. The Tawn Council has the authority to hear and decide appeals from any decision, determination, or interpreta#ion by the Planning and Environmental Commission andlor Design Review Board. The Town Council may also call up a decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission andJar Design Review Board. Staff: The Town Staff facilitates the application review process. Staff reviews the submitted application materials for completeness and general compliance with the appropriate requirements of the Town Cade. Staff also provides the Planning and Environmental Commission a memorandum containing a description and background of the application; an evaluation of the application in regard to the criteria and findings outlined by the Touvn Code; and a recommendation of approval, approval with modifications., or denial V. REVIEW CRITERIA The review criteria and factors for consideration for a text amendment application are established by the provisions of Section 12-3-7, Amendments, Vail Town Code. According to the Vail Town Code, the following review criteria shall be used to evaluate a text amendment to the Zoning Regulations, 1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and, Staff believes this text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations. The general and specific purposes of the Z©ning Regulations can be found in Chapter ~ of the Title 12 of the Vail Town Cade. According to Section 12-1-2, Purpose, Vail Tawn Cade, the general and specifc purposes of the Zoning Regulations are, "These regulations are enacted for fhe purpose of prarnoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of fhe Town, and to promote the coordr`nafed and harmonious development of fhe Town in a manner that wiN conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. " And, "These regulations are intended fo achieve fhe following more specific purposes: i. To provide for adequate light, air, sanifatian, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulafion and to lessen congestion in the sfreets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off-sfreef parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with Municipal development objectives. 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. $. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the Town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 10. To assure adequate open space, recreafion opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired Living quarters. 17. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community." Upon review of the stated general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations, staff believes that the proposed text amendment complies with the general purpose of the Zoning Regulations and with numbers 1, b, 6, 8, and 11 of the list outlined above. Staff does not believe that the other six specific purposes are directly related to the proposed text amendment. A review of the Town's records indicates that there are sixteen properties in the Town of Vail with a zoning designation of the Public Accommodation {PA}. ©f the sixteen properties, more than one-half {9) have recently undergone some form, of redevelopment. For example, Four Seasons (aka Holiday Inn}, Vail Plaza Hotel, one Willow Bridge Road {aka Swiss Chalet}, TivaG Lodge, Vail Mountain Lodge, etc., have all recently received approvals for redevelopment which included increases in building height over 48 feet. 2. The extent to which the text arnendrnent would better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the Town; and, Staff believes this text amendment will better implement and achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan by more realistically acknowledging the development trends within the resort community environment. For example, according to the Vail Village Master Plan, Objective 1.2, the Town shall "encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities" and Policy 2.3.1 states, "the development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged." In order to achieve these objectives and policies the Town's regulations must keep pace with changes in the market. Staff believes that in the instance of building height the Town's standards have not kept pace with the changes in the market. For example, a nine foot floor-to-floor section is used in the Vail Village hAaster Plan to determine the allowable number of stories of buildings within the plan area. As demonstrated by the recent redevelopment of the Austria Haus, a nine foot float-to-floor section results in a building containing 7'- B" ceiling heights in areas such as hallways, bathrooms, and ki#chens. These areas contain lower ceilings due to the need to provide for heating, cooling, and venting, In the end, developmen# may meet the technical requirements of the Town's regulations but fails to adequately address the goals, objectives and policies of the Town's master planning documents. The Town's comprehensive planning documents, zoning regulations, and recent development approvals appear to be in conflict with one another. For instance, the Vail Village Master Plan Conceptual Building Height Plan suggests building height in temps of "building stories and defines a "`building story" as "...9 feet of height {no roof r`nciuded). Exact height restrictions will be determined 6y zoning.n However, the Town has acknowledged the need for taller "Building stories" {ie, Lionshead} and granted approval of projects with floor to floor heights of 11 feet. Given that nine development applications have been approved by the Town for redevelopment projects within the Public Accommodation zone district in the recent past, it could be reasonably inferred that these approvals met the development objectives of the Town. Ali nine of these approvals exceeded the maximum height limitation prescribed in the Public Accommodation zone district. With the issue of precedence set aside, each of these projects was reviewed for compliance with factors such as impact an building bulk and mass and the effects that may have on the character of the area, impacts on the availability of light and air to surrounding uses, impacts on sunlshade on adjacent properties and public spaces, impacts on views from public spaces and established view corridors, impacts on the enclosure of streets and spaces between buildings, and impact on the urban design cansiderakions with respect to the height of roof eaves and overhangs and the presence of flat roofs and parapet walls. 3. The extent to which the tex# amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and haw the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and, Staff believes that the existing maximum allowable building height limitation is outdated and in need of amending due to changes in conditions. within the resort development industry. The existing height limitation is over 2~ years old and may na longer be appropriate or applicable in today's resort community environment. A review of the most recent redevelopment approvals granted by the Tawn of hail illustrates a need to increase the maximum building height al6owance in order to achieve the Town's development objectives. With the exception of the Sonnenalp Hotel addition, no development or redevelopment project located in the Public Accommodation zone district complies with the 48 foot maximum building height limitation. As was discussed at length during the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan process, industry standards and guest expectations far lodging units have increased since the Public Accommodation development standards were adopted. Two-hundred fifty square foot roams with seven and one- half foot ceilings no longer meet the expectations of our resort guests. In response to these changes in standards and expectations, an increase in floor-to-floor sections was factored into the determination of the maximum allowable building height standard in the Lionshead Mixed Use-i zone district. A ten foot to eleven foot floor-to-floor building section has become the norm in the hotel development industry. When four stories of buildings with eleven foot floor-to-floor sections are constructed with a sloping roof of approximately twelve feet in height, the resulting building exceeds 48 feet (4 stories X ~ 1 foot floor sectr"on + 12 fool roof freight = 56 feet]. An increase in maximum allowable building height to 56 feet better accommodates the needs and expectations of the resort. development 6 industry and addresses the change in conditions since the last amendment was adopted in 1984. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and, According to the Official Tawn of Vail caning Map, properties zoned Public Accommodation are generally located around the periphery of the village commercial care area. Further, the Vail Land Use Plan designates the village commercial core area as "Vail Master Plan'; Pursuant to the Vail Land Use Plan, the Vail Master Plan designation indicates the Village Care Area where development and growth is guided by the goals, objectives and policies as outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan (adopted November 18, 198fi). An exception to the general spatial location of the Public Accommodation zone district around the periphery of the village commercial core area is the Roost Lodge. The Roost Lodge is located at 1783 North Frontage Road. According to the Vail Land Use Plan, the Roost Lodge has a land use designation of "Medium Density Residential ". Staff believes this text amendment will ensure a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with the Town's development objectives. While it is true that the absolute height of buildings located in the Public Accommodation zone district will increase by 8 feet or 16%, the increase will likely have minimal impacts an adjoining land uses. Past redevelopment approvals have demonstrated that the increase in height granted as a result of a variance approval or a special development district approval did not necessarily result either an increase in density or site coverage, or a reduction in landscape area or setbacks. The recent approval of the Tivoli Lodge is an example of where an increase in building height to fifty six feet did not result in substantial impacts to the remaining development standards of the zone district. VI. STAFF RECOMMI=NDATIQN The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval with modifications to the Vail Tawn Council of a proposed text amendment to Section 12-7A-7, Height, and Section 12-2-2, Definitions, Vail Town Code, to increase the height limitation for a sloping roof from 48' to 56' in the Public Accommodation zone district, to define the terms "sloping roof' and "flat roof', and setting forth details in regard thereto. This recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed text amendment, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission pass the following motion: "The Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council of a proposed Text amendment, pursuant to Section 92-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Cade, to Section 12-7A-7, Height, Vail Town Code, to increase the height limitation for a sloping roof from 48' to 56' in the public Accommodation zone district, and setting forth details in regard thereto. " Should the Punning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed text amendment, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes the following f~~tdings: "Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V this memorandum, and fhe evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds: ~.

The requested variance is the result of a proposal to construct an addition to an existing duplex structure which includes the combination of the two units into asingle-family structure and the construction of a garage within the front setback. Staff is recommending approval with conditions of the requested variance as a practical difficulty or hardship exists and approval of the variance would not constitute a granting of special privilege to this property owner. II. DESCRtPTIQN (7F REQUEST AND BACKGRQUND The applicant is requesting a setback variance in order to construct a new garage within the 20-foot front setback a distance of 8 feet 7 inches creating a front setback of 11 feet 5 inches. There are currently two dwelling units on the site both owned by the applicant with one of the units being rented to tenants. Apart of the overall proposed addition to the home is to eliminate one of the dwelling units and create a single-family structure. The applicant is proposing to construct a 744 square foot garage of which 187 square feet. are located within the front setback. The existing structure and lot are non-conforming in several aspects, First the lat is smaller than the minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet far primarylsecondary zoned properties. In addition, there are existing improvements associated with the applicant's structure which are located on the neighboring property which include a small portion of the applicant's driveway and a flight of stairs which lead down the east side of the structure to the of an existing second dwelling unit on the property. The existing home on the site was completed in 1979 under Eagle Countyjurisdiction. The property was annexed into the Tawn of Vail by {Ordinance 26, Series of 1986, which became effective on October, 21, 198fi.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Gonsideration of Factors Regardin4 the Setback and Parkin4 Location Variances: 1. The relationship of the requested variances to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. This fat is located in a neighborhood with lot sizes ranging from approximately 12,D00 to 14,DDD square feet. Many Names in the neighborhood are constructed with approved variances aHawng encroachments into the setbacks. The loco#ions of several of these variances are: Lot 4, Block Q, Vail Ridge - 2848 Arose Drive -which has the duplex located within 1 D.5 to 15 feet of the front setback, Lot 1, Block D, Vail Ridge - 2586 Arose Drive -which has a detached garage with GRFA on the second level located within 8 to 16 feet of the property line. Lot 9, Block D, Vail Ridge - 2627 Arasa Drive -which has the home located at a zero front setback due to slopes averaging 32%. Lat 16, Block B, Vail Ridge - 2699 Davos Trail -which has a structure located 11.9 feet from the property line. This particular applicant's site has slopes exceeding 45% in the southern par#ion of the site. As well the locat%on of Arose Drive within. the right-of-way creates a large distance between the edge of pavement and the property line, 1D feet. The distance from the proposed garage encroachment to the 4 edge of pavement is 23 feet at the closest point. Staff does not believe that the requested setback variance will have any negative impact on the other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. The existing conditions of the site and location of Arosa Drive within the right-of-way in conjunction with the setback variances granted in the past far neighboring properties will allow this property to be treated equally in regards to other properties in the vicinity. 2. The degree to which relie# from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. While staff believes the granting of this variance request will not be a grant of special privilege as other properties in the vicinity have been granted setback variances far similar situations, staff believes there are things which should be done to provide the minimum relief necessary. Currently the width of the proposed garage is 24 feet with an 1$-fact garage door. Staff believes that the width of the garage should be reduced to 22 feet with an 1$-foot garage door which will reduce the encroachment to 6 feet 7 inches at its worst location which. equates to a (rant setback of 13 feet 5 inches. In addition, staff believes there are potentially other design options which could eliminate ar reduce the need for an encroachment variance. 1=ar instance leaving a one car garage in the location of the current garage would eliminate the need for any encroachment even while constructing a new two car garage. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The proposal will have {ittle, if any, negative effect an these issues. The proposal will reduce the bulk and mass of the structure on the rear of the site where slopes increase to 40% and greater. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following flndinps before granting a variance: 1 _ That the granting of the variance will 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 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 more of the following 5 reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specifed regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c, The strict interpretation ar enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district.

Portwons of the garage addition are located within the required front setback along Arosa E?r~ve. This home was constructed m l `~79 under l=agle County's jurisdiction and was later annexed to the Town of Vail. The site currently contains two dwelling units, both under the same ownership, but the proposed home is aSingle-family residence. The home was originally constructed with a very small one--car garage located on the east side of the Structure constructed very close to the side setback. The home was constructed well w~th~n setbacks, yet towards the front end of the lot leaving a large pardon of the site inaccessible. I-Ierm~ The Herman's are proposing a remodel of the home which includes providing a new Interior stairway to connect the second downstairs dwelling unit with the main unit, a new front entry to the home, an expanded master bedroom on the main level, and a new two-car garage. All of the proposed uses and floor area is we'll within the Remits allowed by Town Code. In fact the Site allows 6,300 sq. ft. of GRFA and only 4,557 sq. ft. (a substantial amount of the Gl2PA ~s vaulted space) ~s bung proposed on the site. Herman Residence Maurtiello Planning Group, I.LC This home, Ike many others m the neighborhood, was originally developed with inadequate garage facilities. The Plannang and ~nv~ronmental Commission has consistently granted variances for the add~t~on of garages within the s,de and front setbacks. Add~t~onally, there are several homes in the vicinity that are constructed at 10.5' from the property line as detailed in section l11 of this report. The proposed garage as located to the lagscal lacat~on for a garage on this property due to the location of the existing home on the s+te. The proposed variance will allow the garage to encroach approximately 7.5' into the setback on the east end of the garage to approximately 8.5' into the setback on the west end of the garage. C-ue to the location of the Arosa ©r~ve within the Town's right-- of-way, the prr~po5ed garage addition is never located closer than ~2' from the edge of street pavement. There is a legitimate hardship due to the location of the existing home on this lot and the Town's promotion of enclosed parking, A precedent has been established by bath ex~stmg homes and the Planning and Environmental Gamm~ss~on with respect to garage add ~taons located in setbacks as documented in this report which we believe gives the Planning anal Environmental Commission power to grant the requested setback variance. II. Staff RecQmmend~tions Prior to Subm~t~al Prior to submittal of the appl~cat~on, the Town staff was consulted on the proposal. The previous design included approximately 3C7a sq~ ft. of garage space within the front setback. The area within the front setback was also a two Story building form mim~ck~ng the architecture an the existing home. Town staff recommended lowering any building encroachment tin the front setback to a one-story building farm and reducing the floor area within the franc setback. The plans that are now proposed reflect the changes recommended by Town staff, The area where the garage encroaches into the setback has been reduced to approximately 187 sq. ft. and the building form has been modified to a one story shed form m the front setback.

Approval Criteria The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures ~n the v~cin~ty. Gur Analvs~s: The proposed variance will allow the construction of a 2-car garage. There are many other homes located within the Vail Ridge Subdivision that exist today with garages or living areas located within the front Setback. Several of these encroachments exist as a result of var,ances approved by the Town of Vail. The proposed garage addition ~s con5~5tent with other existing homes within the neighborhood, The proposed encroachments are located in the only logical location on the lot due to the location of the existing home. 2. The degree to which relFef from the strict or literal enterpretation and enforcement of a Specified regulatpon is necessary to achieve compatibGlGty and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of th~S title without grant of Special privilege. Our AnalvSiS: The proposed variance wil[ allow an adequate two-car garage to be constructed for this duplex home. The variance will create cons~Stency and uniformity of treatment with other homes developed ~n the neighborhood. The PAC has consistently allowed setback variances for garage improvements to be located in the front Setback when no other reasonable location was available on the lat. The proposed garage is not located in any Sgde setback therefore allowing adequate Space to adjacent neighbors on either 5rde. The proposed variance is not a grant of 5pec~al privilege as many other homes in the neighborhood enjoy the ability to have garages and living area constructed in the 5etbacll. 3. The effect of the requested variance on I~ght and air, distrGbution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public faalitieS and ut~l~t~es, and public safety. fur Analv5~5: The proposed variance has I~ttle, +f any, effect on the above listed Issues, Herman ~es~dence ~ Mauriello Planning Group, LLC ~i T~~ ~~ YAIL TH[5 ITEM MAY AFFECT YOUR PROPERTY PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning and Environmental Commission of the Town of Vail will hold a public hearing in accordance with section 12-3-6, Vail Tawn Cade, vn June 'i3, 20a5, a# 2:Ofl pm in the Town of Vail Municipal Building, in consideration of: A request for a final review of a variance from Section 12-6D-6, Setbacks, .Vail Town ~1 Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for the ~ construction of a garage addition within the front setback, located at 2648 Arosa ~ ~n~ DrivelLot 2, Block D, Vail Ridge Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. ~~"'~ Applicant: Brenda and Steve Herman, represented by Maurieilo Planning Group, ~1'~ LLC Planner: Warren Campbell A request for a final review of a text amendment to Section 12-7A-7, Height, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-3, Amendments, to increase the height limitation for a sioping roof from 48' tv 66' in the Public Accommodation zone district, and setting forth details in regard thereto.

Applicant: Dantas Builders, represented by Mpp Design Group Planner: Elisabeth Eckel I. SUMMARY The applicant, Dantas Builders, represented by Mpp Design Group, is requesting approval of a minor subdivision, pursuant to Chapter 13-4, Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town Cade, to amend the la# sizes and configuration; and a request for a final review of a variance from Section 12-6D-5, Lot Area and Site Dimensions and Section 12-6D-6, Setbacks, Vail Town Cade, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Tawn Code, to allow building within the setback, located at 1772, 1778, 1788 Alpine DrivefLots 10, 11, 12, Vail Village West Filing 1. If approved, this request would result in the creation of three similarly-sized lots and a common driveway and access easement. Staff is recommending approval with conditions of this application subject to the findings and criteria outlined in Sections VIII and IX of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, Dantas Builders, represented by Mpp Design Graup, is currently undergoing design review of three new residences a# Lo#s 10, 11, and 12, Vail Village West 1St Filing. Prior to beginning construction, the applicant is proposing to create three equally-sized lots from three existing non-conforming lets in order to best accommodate the placement of three homes on whale is a very steeply-sloped development area. The applicant's request is bi-fold: in the request for approval of a minor subdivision, several development standards will not be able to met, from which the applicant is requesting variances. Firstly, the applicant is requesting approval of a minor subdivision, which proposal is prompted by the reconfiguration of existing lot lines for three separate lets. Through such reconfiguration, the new lots will mairttairt a smaller size than is allowed by the Town for lots within the Primary/Secondary Zone District (15,004 square feet). Additionally, each lot will become equal in size. However, because of the creation of lots smaller than allowed within the Twa-Family PrirnaryfSecondary District, four of the regulations related to Lot Area, Site Dimensions, and required Setbacks will be unable to be complied with, including minimum lot area, minimum frontage, minimum site dimensions, and minimum side setbacks. Therefore, the applicant is also requesting variances from each of the aforementioned standards. A vicinity map and public notice are atkached for reference (Attachments A and B). III. BACI~GRDUIVD Preliminary plans are filed which reflect the proposed development of three lag homes an Lots 74, 11, and 12, which were part of Eagle County at the time, in 99$0. The development area was annexed into the Town in 1986, after which time plans were submitted for the development of asingle-family residence upon lot 11 in 1994.. The applicant simultaneously requested variances from the front and side setback regulations. The variance requests included encroachment into both the side and front setbacks on the basis that "ninety percent of the lot is greater than 40% slope". The applicant`s stated hardship was similar to that of the current proposal; the overall desire to limit site disturbance as much as possible (see Attachment C, applicant's written request). That Planning and Environmental Commission application was tabled on four occasions in the fall of that year, and eventually assumed to be withdrawn. According to the files, preliminary plans were also submitted, in 1995, fora new single-family residence upon Lat 12. However, the only additional documentation on file for Lot 12 states that the plans were withdrawn and the building permit application, expired. No further activity upon or proposals for this development site occurred until its purchase by the applicant in 2404. Since November of 2004, the applicant has produced more than twenty proposals in order to locate a new single-family residence on each of the three separate lots in West Vail. At a number of its public hearings, the Design Review Board conceptually reviewed each proposal. Dn March 16, 2405, during a final conceptual review of the proposals for general access and location of the residences, the Design Review Board agreed that access from one common drive at the north side of the development area was the best. proposal far the site (see Attachment D, Amended Final Plat). The Board's sentiment was largely based on their desire far the preservation of as much of the southern area of the site as passible. IV.

APPLICATION CRITI=RIA AND FINDINGS Minor Subdivision A basic premise of subdivision regulations is that the minimum standards for the creation of new lots must be met. This subdivision will be reviewed under Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, of the Town of Vail Code. A. The first set of criteria to be considered by the Planning and Environmental Commission for a Minor Subdivision application is: Lot Area: The minimum lot area for the Two-Family PrimarylSecondary iDistrict is 15,000 square feet. Neither the existing nor proposed lots meet this requirement. The proposed area for each new Lot is 11,$48 square feet. Dimension: The Two-Family PrimarylSecondary District requires lots to be able .................... to enclose a square with a minimum dimension of $0 feet by $0 feet. Neither the existing nor proposed lots meet this requirement. Frontage: The Two-Family PrimarylSecondary District identifies a minimum frontage requirement of 30 feet, Though Lots 11 and 12 will Comply with this requirement, the proposal for Lot 10 includes twenty five feet (25') of frontage along Alpine Drive. Setbacks: The Two-Family PrimarylSecondary District requires a minimum front setback of twenty feet (20') with which standard each of the proposed Lots will comply. Additionally, the Two-Family Primary Secondary Distract requires minimum side setbacks of fifteen feet (15'), which standard will be met at the eastern perimeter of Lot 10 and the western perimeter of Lot 12. B. The second set of review criteria to be considered with a minor subdivision request is outlined in the Subdivision Regulations, 13-3-4, and is as follows: "The burden of proof shall rest with the applicant to show that the application is In compliance with fhe intent and purposes of this Chapter, the Zoning ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable....The Planning anal Environmental Commission steal! review the application and consider its appropriateness in regard to Town policies relating t© subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordr`nances and resolutions and other applicable documents, environmental Integrity and compatibility with the surrounding land uses and other applicable documents, effects on the aesthetics of the Town." • The purpose section of Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, is intended to insure that the subdivision is promoting the health, safety and welfare of the community. The subdivision purpose statements from 13-1-2 (C)are as follows: To inform each subdivider of the standards and criteria by which development proposals wr'll be evaluated and to provide information as to the type and extent of improvements required. "` Staff Response: The applicant was informed as to the standards and criteria by which the proposed plat and future development would be evaluated. Subdivision regulations and development controls establish basic rules which the staff, the PEC, the applicant, and the community can follow in the public review process. Although this request does not involve the creation of a new subdivision it does include the re-subdivision of existing parcels of land. Therefore, the minor subdivision process is the appropriate process to redefine the lot lines and area of Lots 10, 11 and 12, Vail Village Vilest 1~C i=ding. 2. To provide far fhe subdivision of property in the future without conflict with development on adjacent land." Staff Response: This proposed minor subdivision redefines three currently platted lots by relocating the inner lot lines between Lots 10 and 11 and Lots 11 and 12. Lot lines located at the periphery of the three lots will not be changed and therefore future development of property on adjacent land will not be affected. 3. 7`o protect and conserve the value of land throughout fhe 1'vfunicipality and the value of buildings and improvements on the land. Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will not negatively impact the value of land within the Town. 4. To ensure that subdivision of property is in compliance with the Town's zoning ordinances, fo achieve a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consr`stent with Tawn development objectives. Staff Response: Staff believes the proposed minor subdivision, though not in compliance with the Town's zoning ordinances without the granting of four variances, will achieve a harmonious, convenient and workable relationship among land uses, consistent with Town development objectives. According to the Goals statement of Ttle 13, "These regulations are intended to pro#ect the environment, and to ensure...suffieient open space", concepts to which this proposal is sensitive (Section 13-1-2:B). The effect of this plat approval will not only create equally-sized lots but will provide one access point for three Iots, thereby reducing the number of curb cuts along Alpine Drive to a minimum. 5. To guide public and private policy and action in order to provide adequate and efficient transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks, playgrounds, recreation, and other public requirements and facilities and generally to provide that public facilities will have sufficient capacity to serve the proposed subdivision. Staff Response: The subdivision regulations are primarily intended to address possible impacts of large-scale subdivisions of property. As a result, Staff does not believe that a proposal of this scope will have negative impacts on transporkation, water, sewage, schools, parks, playgrounds, recreation, or other public requirements or facilities. 6. To provide for accurate legal descriptions of newly subdivided land and to establish reasonable and desirable canstruction design standards and procedures. Staff Response; The proposed minor subdivision will allow for a comprehensive approach to the development of three very steeply-sloped sites. The proposed subdivision will allow the applicant to minimize the negative effects to the landscaping at the south side of the developmen# area through the creation of one access easement along the north side of the area, which allows far the location of each of the residences farther north on each lat. 7. To prevent the pollution of air, streams and ponds, to assure adequacy of drainage facilities, to safeguard the water table and to encourage the wise use and management of natural resources throughout the Town in order to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the community and the value of the land. Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will encourage the wise use and management of natural resources throughout the Town by preserving as much of the development area as passible considering the size and topography of the affected lots. Findings: The following findings are used far a Minor Subdivision: 1. That the application is in compliance with the intent and purposes of the Minor Subdivision Chapter, the Zoning Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable. 2. That the application is appropriate in regard to Town policies relating to subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordinances and resolutions and other applicable documents, environmental integrity and compatibility with the surrounding land uses and other applicable documents, and effects on the aesthetics of the Town. Variances A. Consideration of Factors Reoardina Lot Area.. Frontage. Site Qimensions, and Setback Variances: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Lot. Area The requested variance from required lot area will have no effect on other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity, particularly since the lots are currently non-conforming in regard to area. Frontage. Staff believes that the requested variance from minimum lot frontage will have a positive effect on other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity due to the fact that only one access point will be created from Alpine Drive, both improving safety along Alpine Drive and decreasing the amount of visible pavement that would otherwise occur as a result of three separate access points. Site Dimensions The requested variances from required site dimensions will have no effect on other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Setbacks Staff believes that the requested variances from required setbacks will have a negligible effect on other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity, aside from the future owners of Lots 10, 11, and 'I2. The proposed location of the homes in a clustered fashion still provides more than twenty feet (20'} between the exterior walls of each of the residences placed upon these three lots. The applicant is planning to design the exterior walls fronting the affected side setbacks with fewer windows in order to protect each owner's privacy. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. Lot Area Staff believes that relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the required lot area is necessary in order to allow these sites to be developed in a manner consistent with that of other sites within the vicinity. As previously s#ated, none of the lots currently meet the crikeria for minimum lot area. Frontage Staff believes that relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the required minimum lot frontage (upon Lot 1 {~} is necessary in order to allow for the smallest area of site disturbance upon all three lots. Though the creation of one access paint from Alpine Drive along Lot 12 results in less frontage far Lot 10, the benefits of further preservation of entire site helps to attain the objectives of this Title. Site Dimensions Staff believes that relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the required site dimension is necessary to achieve sensitive development of these lots. Setbacks Staff believes that relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the required side setbacks is necessary due to the small size of the tats. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety, Lot Area The requested variance from required lot area will have no effect on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and u#ilities, and public safety. Frontage The requested variance from required lot frontage will have na effect an distribution of population or public facilities and ufilities, However, Staff believes that the requested variance from minimum lot frontage will have a positive effect an light and air, in that less .site disturbance will occur, thereby maintaining three home sites with as much vegetation as passible, considering the scope of construction and the steep slopes. Staff also believes that the requested variance from minimum lot frontage will have a positive effect on "transportation and traffic facilities" and "public safety" by creating only one driveway cut slang Alpine Drive, likely decreasing the probability of accidents occurring along what is already a dangerous curve in the roadway. Site Dimensions The requested variances from required site dimensions will have no effect on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. Setbacks Staff believes that the requested variances from required setbacks will have a negligible effect an light and air, primarily between the lot lines of Lots 10, 11, and 12. Because the farthest east and west setbacks of the three lots will be maintained, the light and air of property owners outside of this development area will not be affected. Staff believes that the requested variances farm required setbacks will have no effect on distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities and public safety.. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. ~~ B. The Planning and Environmental Cammission shall make the following findings before arantino a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will 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 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 more of the following reasons: a. The strict literati interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical. hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c, The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district.

Staff is recommending approval with conditions of the proposed Amended Final Plat. Bighorn Subdivision. First Addition. Lot B. A Resubdivision of Lot 1. Block 1. ft, DESCRIPTION C}F REQUEST The applicant, William and Jan Burrow, represented by Harter Architects, currently have a submitted a design review application to construct an addition of 441 square feet onto the existing single-family hams located at 3967 Lupine Drive. A vicinity map is attached depicting the subject property {Attachment A). The applicant is requesting an amended final plat as the proposed addition will put the GRFA of the structure over the plat restricted 3,300 square feet maximum GRFA by 569 square feet. The total GRFA of the proposed structure will be 3,869 square feet. The applicant is also proposing to remove a plat note which restricts Lots 1A and 1B, Black 1, Bighorn Subdivision First Addition to one shared curb cut for the two properties. A Letter from the applicant describing the request is attached for reference (Attachment B}. A copy of the proposed plat is attached for reference {Attachment C). II1. BACKGROUND • The property was annexed into the Town of Vail by Qrdinance 13, Series of 1974, which became effective on November 5, 1974. The property was zoned Twa-Family Residential Zone District. • In October of 1983 Lot 1, Black 1, Bighorn Subdivision First Addition (42,8fi3 sq. ft.) was subdivided into two smaller lots {21,431.5 sq. ft.) and rezoned to Single-Family Residential. As a part of the application the two new lots, 1A and 1 B, were plat restricted to 3,300 square feet of GRFA for each lot and were to share one driveway curb cut on Lupine Drive. • Ordinance 33, Series of 1987, removed the plat restriction which required Lots 1 A and 1 B to have a shared driveway curb cut off of Lupine Drive. Today there are separate driveway curb cuts servicing the existing structures on Lots 1 A and 1 B. • (7n .luly 6, 2005, the Design Review Board conducted a conceptual review of the proposed additions to the Burrow Residences and in general were quite pleased with the proposed improvements.

APPLICATI©N CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Exemution Piat Review A. Factors of Consideration Reaardina an Exemotion Plat Review: This subdivision will be reviewed under Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, of the Town of Vail Code. The purpose of Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, is intended to ensure that the subdivision is promoting the health, safety and welfare of the community. Pursuant to Section 13-1-2 C, Vail Town Code, the Planning and Environmental Commission will be evaluating this proposal based upon the following criteria: i. To inform each subdivider of the standards and criteria by which developmen# proposals will be evaluated and to provide information as to the type and extent of improvements requiired. The applicant is aware of the standards and criteria by which this proposal is to be evaluated. 2. To provide for the subdivision of property in the future without conflict with development on adjacen# land. As the proposed amended final plat 'ts an amendment to an existing subdivision, Staff does not believe this proposal wiH create a future conflict with development of adjacent lands. Aspects such as lot area, frontage, site d'nmensions and setback regulations are not affected by this proposal. Currently the lot complies with all standards far a lot zoned Single-Family Residential 3. To protect and conserve the value of land throughout the Municipality and the value of buildings and improvements on the land. in Crctober of 1983 Lot 1, Block 1, Bighorn Subdivision First Addition s;42,8fi3 sq. ft.) was subdivided into two smaller lots (21,431.5 sq. ft.) and rezoned from Twa-J=amity Residential Zone District to Single-Family Residential Zane District. The primary reason for the subdivision of the lot was to provide for the protection of a large stand of mature trees in the center of Lot 1. The subdivision of Lat 1 into Lots 1 A and 1 B allowed for the large stand of trees to be preserved as they would fall within the setbacks of the two new lots and therefore a structure would not be able to affect the trees. !n regards to the reasoning behind the PEC placing a condition upon the subdivision that restricted GRFA to 3,300 square feet staff has determined that it was an effort by the Board to limit the.size of the structures on the two new lots as the rezoning from Two-Family Residential zone District to Single Family Residential Zone District allowed for the total GRFA of the two new lots to exceed that of the entire lot zoned as Two-Family Residential Zone District. Under the zoning requirements in effect in 1983 Lot 1 zoned Two- Family Residential Zone District measuring 42,863 would be allowed 2 dwelling units with a structure size of 5,862 sq. ft. while the new Lots 1A and ~ B rezoned to Single-Family Residential Zone District would be allowed two dwelling units done on each Got) w%th a combined GRI=A for the two lots totaling 7,974 sq. ft. Therefore the PEC did not find it acceptable to grant a resubdivison of Lot 1 and a rezoning which would in essence give the developer an increase in GRFA of 2,192 sq, ft, Under current GRFA regulations the original Lot 1 measuring 42,863 sq. ft. and zoned under its original zoning of Two-family Residential Zone District would be allowed 9,221 sq. ft. of GRFA. Under current Single-Family Residential Zone District regulations the combined GRFA of Lots 1A and 1B would total 19,972 sq. ft., which is 1,761 sq. ft. aver the allowable GRFA ofi the previously existing Lot 1. Therefore with the changes in GRFA which have occurred and the original intent of the PEC approval of the subdivision of Lot 1 and the restriction an GRFA staff believes that Lot 1 B should be restricted the 4,610.5 sq. ft. which is half of the allowable GRFA if Lots 1A and 1 B were still one lot zoned Two-Family Residentia! Zone District. Staff believes this maintains the originally intent of the PEC approvals in 1983 as the sum of the GRFA for Lot 1A and 1 B would not exceed the allowable for the lot as a whole. In conclusion, the sum of the parts (Lots 1A and 1B} would not exceed the sum of the whole (original Lot 9, Black 1, Bighorn Subdivision First Addition). Staff believes this proposal will enhance and further conserve the value of land and the value of building and improvements on the land through the maintenance of existing stand of mature trees along the shared property line between Lots 1A and 1 B, Block 1, Bighorn Subdivision First Addition. 4. To ensure that subdivision of property is in compliance with the Town's zoning ordinances, to achieve a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with Town development objectives.. Staff believes the proposed amendment is in compliance with the Town's zoning ordinances and will serve to achieve a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses as the requirements and restriction will now be governed by the entirety of the Single-Family Zone District. 5. To guide public and private policy and action in order to provide adequate and ef'hcient transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks, playgrounds, recreation, and other public requirements and foci{ities and generally to provide that public facilities wi11 have sufficient capacity to serve the proposed subdivision. Staff does not believe the proposed amendment has significant impact on this criterion, in comparison to existing conditions. 6. Ta provide for accurate legal descriptions of newly subdivided land and to establish reasonable and desirable construction design standards and procedures. Staff believes the proposed amendment will continue #o provide accurate legal descriptions. 7. To prevent the pollution of air, streams and ponds, to assure adequacy of drainage facilities, to safeguard the wa#er table and to encourage the wise use and management of natural resources throughout the Town in order to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the community and the value of the land. Staff does not believe the proposed amendments will have significant impact on the pollution of air, streams and ponds, but that they will assure adequacy of drainage facilities, safeguarding of the water table and the wisest possible use and management of natural resources throughout the Town B, Pursuant to Section 13-3-4.

We would like the amended plat to be identical to the existing plat with the following exceptions: 1. The plat stipulation that there be one common driveway for lots 1A and 1 B be updated to reflect Town Ordinance No. 33, Series of 1987, removing said restriction. ll. The plat restriction limiting GRFA to 3,300 square feet be removed- The reasons for the request are as follows: Regarding the ftrst request, it appears that Town Ordinance 33 of 1987, stipulates an amendment to Section 1, Subparagraph 2 of Section 2 of Ordinance No. 37, Series of 1983, to read as follows: 2. Access to Lots ?A and 7B steal! be limited to 1u+o driveways as generally indicated on the site plan by PeterJamarAssociates, lnc., dated September 4, 1987. The existing plat does not reflect this change, and two driveways have been built. In the interest of tidy record keeping, for all parties interested, including the Town and any subsequent Landowners, we believe the plat should reflect the most recent known ordinance affecting this property. Regarding the second request., we believe the plat should reflect the most recent zoning changes, in keeping with Tawn Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2004, in order to simplify GRFA rules and retain consistency across zoning districts. Specifically, we believe the circumstances surrounding the implementation of the GRFA restriction have changed to allow reconsideration: • The plat restriction was originally written in part to help protect the lovely, mature trees on the site. Homes have been built on both 1 A and 1 B and the trees have been successfuNy preserved. Any future development on-the sites will be regulated by the Town of Veil's design review procedures, assuring the protection of the trees and any other site features. • Using current zoning calculations, the site would be allowed 5,486 square feet of GRFA Sincerely, Jim Mprker, FAIR Morten Architects • • hAarte*archstects.con} Attachment: B ~~~~ .-~ r ~, .~ ~~n~, ...1 ~ ~ r a ~~ ~~ ~~~ a : ~ ~~ ~~ r iii $~}~ ~~~ ; ~ ~ ~ ~ it s F 8 ~~~~~ ~ ~~ v ~ ~ H ~~~ ~ ~ ~ W ~~ C) ~'+ F a ~~~ ~ 4 ~~ '~• ~ e~~~ . ~ ~~ ~~ ,. ~! ~ ~ sj f i 1~~ ~~ $~~ ~ ~` ~t ~~_~ L ! ~~ ~ ~ }~j;~~~ i ~ ~~ ~~ ~~~t~~g' ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~¢ ~~~1 ~~~~~~~ ~~ I €~~~~~ bJ Y ` tF ' j i {* ~ /! ~ gy~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~~i i t~'~ ~~~;i i ~ ~~ 536~iE~ ~ ~ ~~a ~~; ~a ~, ~~ ~7E4.~ I ,~~ ,~ ., q ~~ • m ~ ~_ ~ ~-+ p C O O ~ J N +~ ~ +~ N 43 N m _ L ~' _ Q '~ '~' O N~ g O J .

REVIEW CRITERIA Zoning Unzoned Residential Cluster District Residential Cluster District Residential Cluster District The Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to a variance application: 7. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing ar potential uses and structures in the vicinity. • 5 Since the proposed 88 sq. ft. of additional garage area will be created by fully excavating a previously approved crawlspace, staff believes this request is consistent with the previously approved proposal. Staff does not believe that this request will negatively affect the existing and potential uses and structures in the vicinity, in comparison to the previous approval. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation its necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. The Vail Town Code generally encourages, and occasionally requires, the construction of garages and similar storage areas for "dwelling units'° and other types of EHUs. However, Staff does not believe the provisions of Section 12-13-4, Vail Town Code, contemplate the construction a Type III EHU with an attached garage. Therefore, Staff believes the applicant is requesfrng a variance to the degree necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity and to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege due to the unique detached, single-family dwelling format of the proposed Type III EHU (i.e. rather than the typical dormitory ormultiple-family dwelling formats}. Staff also believes the original Eagle County development plan approvals and the subsequent annexation agreements with the Town of Vail have created unique circumstance related to the configuration of this EHU site and its associated development rights. Since the proposed 88 sq. ft. of additional garage area will be created by fully excavating a previously approved crawlspace, staff believes this request is consistent with the previously approved proposal. 3. The effect a€ the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant impact on the public health, safety or welfare, public facilities, utilities, or light and air, 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. IX. STAFF R1=COMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends approval, with conditions, of a variance from Section 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit (EHU) Type, Vail Town Cade, to allow for a Gross Residential f=loor Area garage credit, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Cade, located at 2883 Kinnikinnick Road/Exception to Phase II, Vail Intermountain Swim and Tennis Club Condominiums, and setting forth details in regard thereto. This recommendation is based upon the 6 review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presen#ed. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this variance request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission pass the following mo#ion: "The Planning and Enviranmenta! Commission approves the applicant's request for a variance from Section 72-73-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit (ENU) Type, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 92- 97, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for a Gross Residenfr'al F1aor Area garage credit, located at 2883 Kinnikinnick RoadfExcepfian to Phase 1!, Vail intermountain Swim and Tennis Club Condominiums, and setting forth details in regard thereto; subject to the following condition: 7.

" Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this variance request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes the following findings; "The Planning and Environmental Commission finds: 7. The granting of this variance will not constitute a granting of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on ofher properties classy"fled in the Residential Cluster (RC) District. 2. The granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. This variance is warranted for the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Gode. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same life of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the Residential Cluster (RC) District. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the Residential Glusfer (RC) District.

No public comment was added. Commissioners Jewitt and Lamb stated their concerns about which side of Westhaven Drive the bike path was being located, but noted that issue was not. within the scope of this application. 5. A request for a final review of a variance from Section 12-8C-6, Setbacks, Section 12-fiC-8, density Control, and Section 12-6C-9, Site Coverage, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for a residential addition, located at 1448 Vail Valley DrivelLot 18, Block 3, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Robert Stephenson, Jr. and John Schofield, represented.. by Snowdon & Hopkins Architects Planner: Bill Gibson ACTIQN: Tabled to July 11, 2005 MOTION: Viele SECOND: Kjesbo VC3TE: 6-0-0 Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum. Pam Hopkins introduced the project. She explained the scope, background, and reasoning for project. John Schofield further explained the variance requests, adding that some discrepancy regarding the GRFA could be related to the fact that the methods for calculating GRFA within the Town have changed many times. He commented that a similar setback variance had been granted for this lot and similar site coverage and GRFA variances had been approved for tither lots. He explained haw he believed the below grade portions of the house should not count as GRFA. No public comment was added. Bill Jewitt commented that he was in opposition to constructing an additional bedroom through a GRFA variance. Regarding the lowest level basement argument, he mentioned his support of changing the GRFA regulations. However, Regardless, his opposition to a GRFA variance remains. Regarding site coverage,. he had same difficulty in determining the hardship that was used to constitute a variance from the regulations. Rollie Kjesbo agreed #ha# any square footage below grade should not be calculated as GRFA. However, the currently non-conforming state of the residence's GRFA should not allow a variance far further non_conformity. Regarding the site coverage variance request, the fact that the residence was built within the Town of Vail negated a request for such a variance. George Lamb agreed with the Commissioners who had already spoken, stating his faith in Stafes calculations. In terms of site coverage, he expressed interest in site coverage variances which were granted to properties that were built in the Tawn and according to Town regulations. The parking situation would be improved by the construction of a garage,. however. He was in favor of some solution, but thought that it should not include increased GRFA. C7avid Viele commented that he was not necessarily 'tn agreement with the new GRFA regulations. However, the applicant did not show a hardship that warranted a variance from such regulations. Chas Bernhardt commented that he would like to see the item tabled and proposed somewhat differently at the following meeting. John Schofield added that perhaps simply an entry elevator and a garage could remain a part of the proposal. Bill Gibson clarified that the elevator would be calculated as GRFA on each level of the structure. Bill Jewitt commented that the GRFA request may be more palatable if the site coverage variance was eliminated. Pam Hopkins replied that one of the Town's wishes was to enclose parked vehicles. John Schofield said that site coverage was available upon the lot for a garage and the entry eleva#ar. Doug Cahill asked if the applicant would be willing to table the item, to which the applicant replied affirmatively. 6. A request for a final review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-~H-4, Permitted and Conditional Uses; Second Floor and Above, Vail Town Code, to allow for a professional business office and studio, located at 450 East Lionshead Circle (Treetops Building), Lot 6, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Approved with conditions MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Bernhardt VOTE:6-p-0 CONDITIONS: i. This conditional use permit for a business office, located at 450 East Lionshead Circle (Treetops commercial building), shall expire upon the issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy for the Lionshead Core Site (i.e: Arrabelle). Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum. Jay Peterson, the applicant's representative, made himself available for questions. George Lamb commented that this proposal was consistent with the development that was occurring within the Town at the time. 7. A request for a final review of a conditional use permif, pursuant to Section 12-9C-3, Parking, Vail Town Cade, to allow for a revision to the approved parking plan at the Vail Valley Medical Center; located at 1$1 East Meadow DrivelLots E and F, Vail Village Filing 2, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Vail Valley Medical Center, represented by Mauriella Planning Group, LLG Planner: Matt Gennett ACTION: Approved with conditions MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Viele VOTE: 5-1-0 (Bernhardt. opposed) ;~ Matt Gannett presented the project according to the memorandum. Greg Rapetti, president of the Vail Valley Medical Center, expressed his support of the proposal to use existing, additional space within the Medical Center. Stan Anderson, with the Vail Valley Medical Center commented that the Center has evolved over time, which evolution has required carefuP additions and allocations of space. The proposal to use some of the existing space is the natural result of an ever-expanding and improving state-of- the-art medical facility, he continued. Dominic Mauriello, the applicant's representative, further introduced the proposal to the Planning and Environmental Commission via a slide presentation. He specifically focused on the efforts that the Medical Center had taken to provide convenient parking for its patients and staff. Though some of the incentives for employees to make use of alternative forms of transportation seemed unsubstantial, such incentives were successful The Center's commitment to providing appropriate and practical forms of parking should cantinas to be recognised by the Planning and Environmental Commission. Doug Cahill asked Staff what the required number of parking spaces would be for this proposal, should the incentives be replaced by actual parking spaces. The answer was forty seven (47} parking spaces. No public comment was added. Rollie Kjesbo commented that concerns about the parking situation existed. at the time that the addition to the hospital was approved. However, because the parking seemed to be currently effective, he would be in support of the proposal. Eventually, the parking situation would need #a be dealt with. George Lamb commented that if the hospital could not be considered a service to the public, he wasn't sure what could. He commended the hospital and expressed his interest in full use of existing space. David Vieie commented that his firm had been contractually involved with the hospital, but those dealings had no bearing on today's proposal. He further added his support of the project. Chas Bernhardt commented that patient parking at the Center has always been good. However, employee parking was not always quite as successful. Many employees are forced to park in the public structures and at times, on the Frontage Road. The °un-used" shell space, as predicted, was now being requested. He was not in favor of "dealing" with the parking later. Doug Cahill agreed with other Commissioners regarding the high level of service provided by the Center. He commented that additional employees must exist now who did not exist at the time of previous approvals. Though he was in support of the proposal today, he also expressed the need to address the entire parking situation as soon as possible. • 8. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan, pursuant to Chapter VIII, Section 3, nail Land use Plan, pursuant to Chapter VIII, Section 3, Vail Land Use Plan, to establish a site specific land use plan far the "Chamonix Parcel, located at Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.. Applicant: Town. of Vail, represented by Suzanne Silverthom Planner: Matt Gannett ACTION: I~ecammendatiora of approval MOTION: Kjesba SECOND: Lamb VOTE:6-0-0 Matt Gannett made a presentation per the staff memorandum No public comment was added. David Viele commented his extreme opposition to any proposal for aself-storage facility upon the site. Chas Bernhardt added that such a use was not supported previously. Doug Cahill asked about the fre access, to which the Town of Vail Fire Chief John Gulick responded that the access easement was too far within the Wendy's lotto be entirely usable. 9. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an amendment to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, pursuant to Chapter 2, Section 2.8, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, to amend the boundaries of the study area to include Evergreen Lodge, located at 250 South Frontage Road West, Lot 2, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 2, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant:: Evergreen Lodge at Vail, represented by HB DeveCopment Company Planner: George Rather ACTION: Tabled to July 11, 2005 MOTION: Jewitt SECOND: Kjesbo VOTE: ~-0-0 George Rather presented the project according to the memorandum. TJ Brink, with HB Development, further explained the background of the project. Doug Cahill asked how access would be addressed. The applicant responded that access for the hospital could occur at the Westbank location. The Evergreen access could then occur as close to Vail International as possible. Bill Jewitt thought that making this area a part of the Lionshead study area seemed to make good sense. Rollie I~Cjesbo continued, saying that adding this area to the Lionshead area seemed to make sense. David Viele stated his lack of support of adding this area into the Lionshead area without serious study of the hospital's future plans. Chas Bernhardt agreed with Commissioner Viele. However, since the Medical Center had now purchased the building to the east, access may work better in the future. Evergreen Lodge should remain amenable, however, to helping solve the traffic situation. Doug Cahill thought that it would benefit the Town to include the site within the Lionshead Master Plan area. - George Ruther pointed out that issues including the maintenance of accommodation units, service and delivery access, pedestrian connections, trafficfcongestion, etc should eventually be studied and added to Chapter 5 of the LRMP. TJ Brink expressed his wish to avoid ono#her joint application with the Medical Center. Chas Bernhardt asked if this was a time sensitive issue. The applicant replied in the negative, stating, however, that a re-zoning application and other applicable requests would follow which would warrant expedited review. 10. A request for final review of a text amendment to Section 12-7H-12, Density (Dwelling Units Per Acre}, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-3, Amendments, Vail Town Code,. to allow multiple attached accommodation units within a dwelling unit, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: George Ruther ACTION: Recommendation of approval MOTION: IKjesbo SECOND: Lamb VOTE: 5-©-0 George Ruther presented the project according to the memorandum. Jay Peterson, representing Vail Resorts Development Company, asked Staff about several possible corrections which should be reflected within the memorandum. He also asked alaout employee housing and traffic impact fees and requirements. There had been substantial interest for more than one lock off unit within the Arabelle. The only negative to the scenario, he continued, would be "an extra door into the hallway''. Owners who were not interested in renting a second unit, would not ask for this privilege through a conditional use request. Rollie Kjesbo commented that the idea of more "warm beds" within the Town seemed like a good idea. George Lamb said that this proposal would give certain owners a chance to increase rental income. Chas Bernhardt agreed that this proposal seemed to be a good one, He though# that the employee housing requirement was a bit "stiff', however. Point 2 (.2) seemed like a better solution. Regarding traffic impact fees, he had no feelings on that matter. Doug Cahill agreed with the benefits of the proposal and stated that he hoped the concept might be applicable to other developments within the Town. George Ruther commented that employee housing requirement numbers were an attempt at remaining consistent with other approvals within the Town. The generation of new employees was minimal regardless of the number of new attached accommodation units. 11. A request for a final review of a variance from Chapter 14-f, Grading Standards, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for a retaining wall in excess of 3 feet in height located in the front setback, located at 1837 Alpine DrivefLot 49, Vail Village West Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Seven Vals, Inc., represented by David Flinn Planner: Elisabeth Eckel ACTION: Approved with conditions MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Viele VOTE: 5-0-0 CONDITIONS: 1. This approval shall be contingent upon the applicant receiving Town ofi Vail approval of the design review application associated with this variance request. 2.

There was no public comment.. The Commissioners agreed with the applicant's rationale for the physical hardship and believed that relief from the Town's development standards was necessary. i 12.
