George Ruther gave a presentativn per the stafF memorandum. Jim Lamont representing the Vail Village Homeouvners Assaciation rnade several comrnents ~
regarding boundaries of the Master Plan, traffic impacts, and unspecific larrguage surrounding this
proposal when it was befare Touvn Council. Lamont daes nat find any factual praof supporting the
reznnang. This is a critical piece of property and the Tawn needs to know how changing the zoning
will impact infrastructure.
Gwen ScalpeliQ, stated that over the next 3 or 4 years the Fron#age Road will becDme a wall af 80-
foo# tall buildings. Concemed about preserving open space. The 'i 0-foot setback in LIVIU-1 js
much too small, 20 feet would be much more appropriate.
The Carnmissian supporEs the rezoning as the rnemorandum adequately addresses the criteria
and to have a zone district applied to the property will be mare favarable than an SDD. Seueral
members expressed cancern that traffic impacts wili need to be understood upon submittal o# a
development applieation. The apportunity to work with the hospitai shauld be explored in earnest.
The Commission felt that bringing one more parcel into the Master Plan area was beneficial as it
applied criteria for revieuv of a development plan. The Commission believed that a11 the issues Jim
had raised have been addressed over the course af several meetings regarding the rezoning
proposal. In addition, Resvlution 15, Series of 2005, addressed many of the concerns raised by
Mr. Lamont.

Jirn Lamont, representing the Vail Ullage Homecawners, stated that his group's issue is that there
is no master plan for this area. He beiieves that the property shcruid be Ivoked at a in alarger
picture, perhaps in conjunction with the Timber Ftidge redevelopmen#. ConcErned about future
~ CDC7T improvernents to increase the width of 1-70 and the impacts on the Frontage Road. These
ehanges could affect the number of curb-cut allowing acCess to the site. Suggested that rezoning
the property may be more appropriate in order to give #he develvper greater fiexibility.
Keuin Dieghan, principle of Timberline Rovst Lodge, stated that the Roost is the most heaaily used
hotel in Town. This is a telling sign that there is a need fnr a lower priced lodging option. This is a
pErfect site f4r a select service hofel which currerrtiy does no# exist in this market. The Marriott
firtds that tewer than 10% of guests use the kitchen in the unit.
Pat Dauphinais, neighboring property owner, wanted to address traffic concerns. He pointed out
the possible need a# a left turn sane at the Buf#ehr Creek Road intersec#ion. He does not believe
that a left hand turn lane would be needed for a hotel with three curb-cuts. Mr. DauphiRais asked
George Ruther for clarification vn the EHU provisivns requirements, Mr. Dauphinais believed the
EHU requirement is awFully light. Mr. Dauphinais infarmed the applicant that they +nrould be paying ,
for any construction easement that may be rteeded. Mr. Dauphinais has concerns abaut the
architectural elevatians, but does not see any reason for denying the project.
Bill Jev?ritt agrees with mas# af what Jim Lamont stated. Commissfoner Jewitt would like to see
architecturaf styles match in the West Vaif area; need to break up ridge, concemed about
canstructability of project Physical model woufd be very helpful and maybe a digital model as
well.
Rollie Kjesbo agrees property needs to be redevelapment. The design wauld be befter suited for a
flat lot. The design riaes not respond to site. The unbraken ridgeline is a concern. Three aceess
~ paints prabably excessive and turn lane likely necessary. Commissioner Kjesbo agrees texk
amendment affecting entire town would be prQblematic regarding icitchens in accommociatian
uroits.
~
George Lamb believes the applicant's schedule is tao aggressive. Model is imperative.
Commissioner Lamb is in favar of the concept of redevelopment and a lovuer price point hotel,
thaugh is concerned that the plan does reot respand to the site apprapriately in terrns af grading
and drainage. Commissioner Larnb feels it is worth the effort to work with #he applicant but thinks
there is a iot of work ahead in terms of bulk, mass, arod height.
Anne Gunion agrees that the project does meet most af the development standards, hawever,
there are criteria for reuiew which the project doe5 not meet. She feels design (bulk, rnass, and
height) is not apprapriate fQr site; is cancerned with how retaining wa11s will worlc in terms of
landscaping. . Commissioner Gunion like sorne site sections subm'stted. Woukd wait to da a rnodel
unti! DRB comrnents are obtained.
David Viele sees #he praject as a use by right and the projeck was designed that way. He believes
doing a master plan naw would be inappropriate; thinks the building has a Eong way #o ga in terms
of architecture and design. This site is different than thase found in the Village (property values).
Chas Bernhardt 9ikes the cancept and under graund parking. He does not Eike the steep cuts and
thinks the retaining waEl is a concern. Praject does not com,pky with Criteria 4. Maybe establish a
Public Accommodation 2 zone district to address the kitchen desire.

Daug Cahill stated that he agreed with all the previous comments. He believes a model is
necsssary. Believes the architecture is °stale". Three access points in terms of function will
probably work. Goncemed abaut how EHU requiremen#s are calculated. ~
Tom Kassmel addressed several trafFic issues and corecerns in regards to CDrJT designation.
Frontage Raads are arterials uvithin Town. This project is doubling in size and a#urn lane would be
required.
Bill Fox, the applicant's traffic engineer, stated that #he requirements for a frantage road or an
arterial are the same in terms of warranting turn lanes. Does nat beiieve this project requires a
tum lane.
5. A request for a final revieuv of an amendment to an Approwed Development Plan, to allavu for
madificatians to the existing platted building envefope (Lot 1), site access (Lcat 1), an increase in
Gross Residential Floor Area (Lots 1-6); and a request for a final review of an amended fnal plat,

The Commission was positive and praised the changes made by the applicant. Commissioner BiIC
Jewitt stated that he felt that retaiUcommerc€al in this praject was not apprapriate and felt that the
Master Plan anticipated this high density candominium prQject. Other members of the
Commission felt that the flexibility of not requesting Condi#ional Use Permits for condos on all the

1. SUMMARY
The applicants, Kyle and Lorraine Webb, are requesting a conditional use permit as
prescribed in Section 12-71-1-4: Permitted and Condi#ional lJses; Second Floor and
Above, Vail Town Code, to allaw for a kitchen facility for private, off site catering to
operate in the Vail Spa Condominiums Buiiding, Iocated at located at 710 Lionshead
Circle, Units A and B(Vaii Spa)/Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 3. A conditional
use permit is required in the Lionshead Mixed Use I (LMU-1) zane district for this type of
~ use.
Based upan Staff's review of the criteria autlined in Section VIII of khis memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Cammunity Development Department
reGomrnends approval of #his reqvest subject to the fndings and conditians noted in
Section IX of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicants are requesting a conditional use permit ta allow #or the operation of
kitchen facility in the kitchen portion of what is naw a vacant restaurant space, iocated
an the second floor of the Vail Spa Condominiums Bui{ding, focated at 710 Lionshead
Circle, Units A and B(Vail Spa)/Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 3. The existing
restaurant space has been vacant since 1998 and tne appficants are praposing to
remodel the interior to better suit the ofFice use approved by the REC on October 10,
2005. The proposal does nat call for any additions ar modifications to the building
except for a tenant finish af the existing restaurant space #o render i# more suitaale for a
professional ofFce.
The applicants do not intend to perform any exterior modifications to the building and will
have to go through the Design Review Board approval process should any signage be
desired for the new uses. No development standards will be negatively impacted by the
prflposed conditional use permit. There are presentfy 74 enelosed parking spaces at the
Vail Spa C4ndominiums_ The parking requirement far a professional affice is less than
• that for a restaurant. The vacant res#aurant space to be utilized with this conditional use
psrmit propasal is approxirnateJy 2,500 square feet in area. A professianal office in the
LMU-1 zone districf requires 2.7 parking spaces per 1,000 square fEet of otfice area (6.7
spaces), and an eating and drinking establishment in LMU-1 requires 1 parking space
per 250 square feet (10 spaces). The new catering kitchen aperation will only require
~
one em,ployee parking space and ane delivery vehicFe s,pace. The applicants have
fourteen (14) parking spaces at their disposal in the existing parkirrg structure.
~
As indicated above, staff is recommending approval of the applicant's praposa6, pursuant
to the findings and conditians outiined in Section IX of this memorandum,

Vllf. CRITERIA AND FfNDINGS
The applicant's proposal fs subject ta the issuance of a coroditional use perrfiit in
accordance with the provisions af Chapter 12-16, V'ail Town Cade.
A. Gonsideration of Factors Reaardinq Conditional Use Permits;
'i. Ftelatianship and impact of the use on the developbnent objectives of ~
the Tawn.
4
Staff has determined the proposed conditianal use is consis#ent with the
development objectives of the Town ofi Vail. The ki#chen faci(ity use wili have
• no negative irnpacts upon the zone district, surrounding uses, traffic or
parking, and will provide a clear benefit to the Town of Vail irr ompraving the
park'rng capacity af the subject property with the proposed change from a•
restaurant use to strictly a kitchen operation.
2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation facilifies, utilities, schoals, parks and recreation
facilities, and o#her public facilities needs.
Staff believes the proposed conditional use will have no discernable effects
upan the elements this criterion. Because the location af the proposed
conditional use is completely internal within the existing buildong and no
modifications to the exterior are proposed, stafF believes that there is no
effect an light and air.
3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, autamotive
and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access,
maneuverabilify, and removal of snow from the street and parking
. areas.
The Empacts of the proposed conditional use uRon traffic will lae negligible,

incidental to the opera#ion of the Ladge. Given the importance
and need far short term accommodations to the vitality and
success of the cammunity, any future redevelopment of the site
shall ensure the preservation of short terrn accorrimodation units
on the site. The preservateon of short term accommadations
should focus on maintaining the number of existing hotel beds and
• the amourat of gnoss residential square foofage c+rr the site rather
than merely requiring the preservafwon af 928 accarrimodation

units. INith this in mind, the quaNity of the existing accommodation ~
uni# roorn could be upgraded and the roams could be reconfigured
to create mult€-room suites. in no instead, horwever, should the
amount of gross residential floor area dewoted'to accomrrzodatiQn

X. DESCUSSION ISSUES ~
Comple#eness of Application e
• The CornmunRty V7evelapment pepartment has completed a '
"campleteness" review af the major exkerior alteration application for the
construction of the TimbErline Lodge. Upon completifln of the review it ~
has been determined that the application is largefy complete. With the
exception vf additional building height information, updated traffic study I
in#ormation, and increased sealed drawings, the appEication is camplete. °
The applicant, hawever, requested at a pre-application meeting that the ~
requirement for an architectural ar massing madel by waived pending
input fram the Planning & Environmental Comrnission.
Does the Pianning $Environmental Commission believe that an
architectural or massing mociel is required to complete a thorough
review of #he majar exterior alteration apptication? I# a model is
requtired, which type is preferred, digital or physical? Per the
submittal requirements, is there any additional submittal ma#eriais
that the Commission wishes to rerriew (additional plans, drawings,
specifications, samples, etc.) prior ta taking final action on this
application on November 28, 20057
Site Planning
• The Community Development Department has revdewed the proposed site
plan submitted for the 7imber{ine Lodge. Upon compietion of the review,
several questions arose regarding the praposed site design. While the
~ P[anning & Environmental Commission is not being requested ta take ;
fnal action on this application at this time, we believe that it is valuable ta i
provide the applicant uvith any feedback and input the Commission and I
staff may have at this time. ~
10
~
That said, the staff believes that the applicant has done a goad job of
~ designing a building which complies with the development standards
prescribed for develapment in the Pubfic Accommodatian zone district.
Far exarnple, through the creation of an underground parking structure the
applicant has successfulEy camplied r?vifh the rriinomum parking
requirements.
Staff does believe, ho+rvever, that additional design work and thought
shouid be given to the site design and layout af the new lodge. As I
proposed, the resulting site pian creates several undesirabEe ,
consequences. For instance, a#wenty-four foo# tall retaining wall design ~
with tuvo-foot wide benches between the walls located at the rear of the ~
new ladge, a loading and delivery berth located at the guest drap to the
iodge, a landscape design and planting plan whieh does very little to
compliment a fiour to six-storytaEl building, a grading plan which patential9y
requires easements or a similar form of agreement with adjoining property
awners to grade off of the property, etc. While none of these issues I
prevent #he eonstruction of a new lodge, they da pose potential3y ,
undesirahle consequerrees which bear further study and review. What additianal input ar feedback, if any, does the Commission have
for the applicant wi#h regard to the proposed application?
TrafFic Cieculation
• In accordance with the prescTibed submittal requirements, the applicant
~ has submitted a prelirnirtary Traffc Analysis for the Raost Lodge
Expansian Project, dated July 21, 2005. In summary, the traffic
engineers conclude that the average daily trips to and fram the
development site wi61 increase by 429 trips. This is up fram an estimated
416 trips under current conditions. As a resukt however, thE consulting
traffic engineers do not believe that the new lodge wtll warrant the need ,
for enhancements to the existing trafEic cantrol or geornetry along the i
frontage road corridor. A copy of the Analysis has been attached for i
reference (Attachment D). Prior to taking fnal action on this application
the Community C7evelopment Department recommends that the
~ applicant"s consulting traffic engineers and the Tavun Engineer present I
their findings and cancRusions to the Commission for review and ~
consideratian.
Mitigation of Develapment Impacts
• Pursuarrt to Section 12-7A-14 vf the Zoning Regulafiions,
"Property owners/developers shall also be respansible far
mrtigating direct tmpacts of their development on ,public
infrastructure and in all cases mitrgatian shall bear a reasonable
relation to the rleveloprrrent impacts. Jmpacfs may be defermined
based on reports prepared by qualified cflnsultants. The exfent of
mitigatian and public amenity improvemenfs shafl be balanced wirh
the gaals vf redevelopment and witl be determined by the planning
~ and envrronmental commission in review of devefopment profecfs I
and canditional use permits. Substantial ofi site impaets may
include, 6ut are not Cimited to, fhe following; deed restricted
I1
1
employee hvusr'ng, roadway improvements, pedesfrian walkway ~
improvements, streefsGa,oe improvements, stream tractlbank
re.storation, loading/delivery, ,pu6lic arf improvements, and similar
improvements. The intenf of this section is to only require mifigatian
for large scale redevelopmenfldevelopmenf projecfs which produce
substantial off site impacts.'°
In keeping with the intent of Section 12-7A-14, Mitigation of DeWelaprnent
Impacts, the appfcant is proposing to oifset the impacts of the praposed
development by providing employee housing far a minimum of five
emp1oyees, placing approximately 365 linear feet of exisfing overhead
pawer Eine underground, and constructing a new pubkic transit stop along
fhe Narth Frantage in front of the new lodge. 11Vith the exception of the
providirrg employee housing, the applicant will be required to work with
Holy Cross Energy, the Town o# Vail, and the Colorado Department of
'
T'ranspQrtation to untierground the overhead utility line and canstruct the
new public transit stop.
Are there any ather direct impacts of the praposed development
besides employee generafion, utility line relocatfon, and puhlic
transit enhancemertts that the Commission belier?es the applicant
should mi#igate?
Public Warks Comments
• On 4ctaber 27, 20(}5, the Tawn Engineer generated a written Iist of ~
comments in response to his revie+rv of the proposed major exterior
alteration application. A copy of the memorandum has been attached for
reference. Priar to taking finaf action on this application, the applicant will
need to demonstrate ta the satisfaction of the Cammission and Tawn staff
that the issues identEfied in the memorandum have been either address or
are no longer applicable.
In addition to the camments out[ined in the memorandum of October
27tn, are there any additional issues that the Commission has at this
time with regard ta public works issues?

C)ctober 2005
J~ it Mauriello Planning Graup
~ I. Background and 5ummary of RecIue5t
The applicant 15 propo5eng to redevelop the existing Roost Lodge property as the
Timberline Ladge. The develapment plan for thi5 new hotellcondominium proJect will
expand the existing use of the property. The development plan Ga915 for the demolition
of the existing hotel and the devoloprraent of 1 28 new hotel roams (72 raoms existrng
today), 39 dwelhnq units (1 ckwellinL] unpt ex15ting today), 3 on-5ite employee houscng
units with 5 pillows and surface and 5tructured parksng. The propo5ed Project w+ll focus
on providing a price sensitive accommodation option while substantially upgrading the
ae5thetics of the facil}ty and provicfinq additional amenities to ladging cjuests. The
proposed candam7nium5 (39 units) are propo5ed to be approximately 850 5quare feet.
This redevelapment project wO increa5e both the accommodatian and dwelling lodgrrs,~
base for the Tawn of Va11. Pl~as~ note that lhere liave been same progr,~m refinernents
srnce the arlgrraal submittal to the TDwn staff and this report proUides Updated
rnformabon that may be sliyht/y dIfferent than the T'own memn oh the project.
The Roast Ladge wa5 originally cnnstructed in the early f 970'5 a5 a motel project.
The ex15ting 5ite contains 72 hotel room5 with 5mall kitchen5, includin,~ refri9eratar5,
stoves ancl microwaue avens, one dtivelfing vnit, a pool facility, and paved 5urface
parking.
~ The property 15 zaned Pubfic Accommodation. The praposed praject is being developed
under exi5ting zoning (i.e., no 5aD). The prapased project will be designed to reflect a
"Indge style" architecture that will contain 126 hotel rooms rangin63 in size frnm 463
scluare feet to 731 5c}uare feet includir+g 5mall kitchens, 39 condominiums of
approximately 850 5q. ft. each and three on-site employee hau5mg urnts contacning
pillows for 5 employees. The project will ai5o have 173 enclosed structured parksnc~
spaces, 23 5urface parking spaces and related hatel and condominium fac111tie5. ft 15
anbcipated that the ho#:el +,vill be operated a5 a Marriatt Re5idence Inn or as another
national brand "sefect 5ervice" hotel.
A large percentage af the hotels currently being developed throughout the United
5tate5 are being desEgned as "select 5ervICe" hotels. ThiS is a growing trend in the
hospitality industry to re5pon6 to cansumer demand. A"select service" hotel often
include5 one or two bedrooms, agreat room, bathroam and a smaVl kitchen. All of the
national hotel companies are aqgre551ve1y expanding this concept throuc3hout the United
5tate5. An e-xample of 51milar "select service" hotels are Towne Place Suites by
Marriott, Amer15uite5 by 1lyatt, llawthorrae 5ubte5 by tlyatt, 5prin(~hili Suites by
Nlarriott, hameward 5uite5 by 11iIton, tiiltan Garden Inn, Comfort Suites by Comfart Inn
and Extended Stay America. Even the very popular MarroQtt Gour-tyard wiil soon include
some kitchen faciiitie5 in the newer hotel5. Guests are flockSnl nationally to hotel
rooms with amenitie5 that ,nclude kitchens, gyms and business centers. While the seEect
•

~ service sector is rapidly growing, the rnaJor hdteliers are scalin,~ back an "full 5ervoce"
hotels to respand to market treiids. Marriott alone currently operatCs over G00
°`select service" hotels (total vf approxin,ately 53,000+ rooms) tin the Unsted States
with a comparable amount under deve-lopment. Nilton, 5heraton, Comfort Inn and Nyatt
all have major expansion plans af their respective "5elect service" hotel brands that will
mare than bouble natoonal count of 5elect service hotels. The consumer expectations
far a hotel in today's marketplace have expanded to include kitchen facilitie5 a5 well a5 a
living roorn, busine-ss 5ervice5 and faMiCy amenities.
The de5ign and architecture of the proppsed buildings wiEl be a vast improvement when
compared with the current de5i63n of the Roost ar most other 5tructures located on the
north side of the hlehway or 4utside of the ViItage Core. The proposed buildings
inc_lude 5tone, stucco and 5imulated wood facade5 (SimGlar to the Lion5head fulE-service
Marriott) w6th the addition of heavy tirnber accent5 to create the "ladee" feel.
i
The prap05ed Timberline LorAge facality 15 anticipated ta serve a certatin nicl7e within the
Iodgonc~ market by providing a priGe 5et15ltIVo "5elect 5ervice" hotel facility that meet5
the current underserved demand for affordable hatel room5 within the Tawn of Vail. In
ac#drtion, the project will provide nice, we61 appainted two bedrporn condaminium units
with ea5y acce55 tO the Village Core.

Fimberf~ne Lodge 3
Mauriello Planning Group, LLC
~ lII. Mitigation of Development Impact5
The RooSt Lodge still operates a5 a 1imated 5ervice 'notel/rraotel on the property.
Becau5e of its current use as an accommodation unit operatiQn, the off-51te impact5 of
Ehe proposed develQrament to the cflmmunity are negliqible. Set forth below is a
detailed analy515 of both the employee housin,~ and traffic irrapacts for the proposed
proJeGt.
A. Employee Mou5inr~
The Town of VaGI has hi5torically required the awners of new and redeveloped
projects to provide em5;,loyee housin~ when developing m the Town. h1stc~rically
c
thG5 ha5 boera based on rhe incre-mental increa5e rn the number of employees
generated by a new prnject. The `(own, to-date, ha5 never codified this
requirement ar the formula used by staff to determine the employee hou5ing
requirement. Under the5e circum5tance5, the appI~cant has appl+ed the fvrmula
that has been traditionally u5ed by the TQwn staff. {n addition, the Tawn has
hi5torically applied a credit to applzant5 for the exi5ting uses Eocated on the
property. Utilizincj thi5 historical formula, the project is forecast to generate the
need far 5 emplayee pillows. Accordingly, the applicani will prov+de 5 emplayee
pillrws that will be included pn-site within the property. Set forth C~elow is the
~ calculation a5 it relates to the project:

there 15 a minar net +ncrease of 40 PNl peak hour vehicular trips procluced by the
redevelopment of this 5ste.
IV. Text Amendment to A6Eovw Kitehens in Accarramodathc~n Units
The proposed hotel I5 antscipated tO operate as a Marr~ott ReSidence, Inn or another
national brand "Select service" hotel. A Residence Inn or 5irnilar type hotel affers a
certain clas5 of amenittes to serve an ever-,orawing rnarket niche and ta respand ta
con5umer demand for additional amenttae5. The hotel amenities expected by guests who
stay In "select Service" hatel5 mclude kitchen facilities wit'nin the hotel roam5, bu5ine55
5erWice5 anc~ farnily amenities. The proposed hotel ha5 been initvally designed to meet
this demand and to provEde a product under repre5ented in the TQwn of Vail.
The propo5ec# text amendrnent will allow accnmmodation units with a kitchen, to be
iiIcluded a5 part of accommodation units subject to a conditional use permit. Set forth
~ below is the praposed language to the amendment:
Add to the I15t of conditsonal uses in the PA Zone district_
* Accommodation units within a lodge or hvtel facility with kitchp-n facilitwes.
The prap05Cd text aralendment w11 ailow the Plarining Cnmmiss4on to approvO this type of
hotel product within the Public Accommodation zorle d~5trict Subject to the existinq
conc£itional u5e cr,teria. This allows each individval 5ite to be reviewed in the context of
the rown's goafs and objectives when approving hotels contaming accpmmodatidn units
with k4tchens.
It 5hould be noted that even thoucjh the hoted rooms have kItchens, the development
plan approval and the Tavvn Gode would prevent these rnoms fram ever being
condominiumrzed and 5old a5 dwellinz3 un+ts.

II, DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESfi '
The applicant, Ttmberfine Ladge, L.L.C., is propasing a text amendment to certain
sections of the Zoning Regulations, l/ail Tawn Code, to allow accommodation units to
incfude "kifchen facrlifies", and setting farth details in regard thereto.
The Zaning Regulations currently define an "accommodafion unit"as,
"Any room ar group of rQOms wnrithout kitchen facilities designed for or adapfed to

III. BACKGROUND
The area currently platted under the Eleni 2neimer SubdiVision was annexed into the
Town Uf Vaif fram EagEe Coueroty by Ordinance 9, Series of 1987 rrvhich became effective
an April 29, 1987. It was previously identified as Phase Vi of The Valley Subdivisian.
The Valley Phase VI was approved as a Planned Unit Development (PUa) under Eagle
County jurisdictivn in the fall of 1980. That plan included 42 tawnhouses with a total
GRFA of 77,150 square feet. 1Nhen the plan rnras annexed into the Town of Vaif, a
pravision of the anrtexation ordinance required that any major modification to #he County
approved plan would require PEC approvaL In that same ordinance residentia! Cluster
Zoning was applied to the Eieni Zneimer Subdivisian.
C)n October 22, 1990, #he Planning and Environmental Gamrnissian unanirnously ~
approved an amendment to #he appraved PEJD from Eagle County. The amended
development plan incfuded the ability to canstruct 13 single-famiky dwelling units with the
ability to construct a caretaker/employee housing unit in conjunction with each single-
family dwelGng unit. Atotal of 55,500 square feet of GR,FA was approved for the 13
single-family dwelling eanits and an addifional 10,400 square feet was approved for the
13 potential caretakerfempioyee housing units. .
{7n August 34, 1990, March 31, 1994, and June 6, 1996, tne plats establishing Lots 1-7
of the Lia Zneimer Subdivisian were recflrded. The L.ia Zneimer Subdivision is located
on the sauth side of Buffehr Creek Road.
On February 19, 2003, the plat establishing Lots 1-6 of the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision
was recorded. 7he seven lots created in the Lia Zneimer Subdivision and the six lots
created by the E'ieni Zneimer Subdivision comple#ed the platting of the 13 single-family
lots approved under the October 22, 1990, apprar+ed development plan.
C)n October 39, 2005 the Design Review Board reviewed the propflsed new building
envelope and curb-cut access proposaC on a concep#ual basis and unanimously agreed
that the prapased relocation of access was a be#ter site design solution than taking
access on the existing driveway through the retaining walls. They believed the praposed design would have less impaet on the site.

Derrelapment F'lan Amendment:
As stated previously, when the Eagle County approved development plan was annexed
intt? the Town of Vail in 1987, aprQVtsion af the annexation ordinance required that any
major modificaticrn to the Gounty appraved plan would require PEC approval.
On October 22, 1990, the Planning and Envsronrnental Commission unanimausly
approved an amendment to the approved PUD frorn Eag1e County. The arnended
develapment pEan included the ability #a construct 13 single-family dwelling units with the
abili#y to construct a caretakerlemployee housing unit in canjunctiQn with each single-
fiamily dwelling unit. A tofal of 55,500 square feet of GRFA +nras approved for the 13
single-famely dwelling units and an additional 10,400 square feet was approved for the
• 13 potentiaE caretakerlemployee housing units.
As Planning and Environmental Commission review of this application is requieed by ~
annexation agreement and nat Code, the only evabuation criteria to be used is to
compare the existing, approved plan, to the praposed plan and determine that the intent
and goals of the currently approved plan are being maintained. The proposal incfudes
three changes to the apprDVed plan. The proposeci changes are as fQllaws;
Chan e to GRFA limitations:
Staff believes that the propased amendment to increase the maximum allowable
GRFA on ths six fots within the Eleni Zneimer SubdivisiQn is reasonable and
appropriafe as the proposed amendment will maintain the intent of the C7ctober
22, 1990, approval. The amendments to the GRFA regulations enacted by
Ordinance 14, Series of 2004, affected the rnethod by which GRFA within #he
Residential Cluster zone district is measured. Because the GRFA for the Eleni
Zneimer Subdivisian is {imited by the plat the Iots within the subdivisian were
negatively afFected by Qrdinance 14 as the GRFA amendments require wall
thickness to be counted as GRFA (within Ordinance 14 a 1 0°`o increase in GRFA
+,nras included to compensate far the thickness of walls). The proposal is to
increase #he maximum GRFA permitted on each lot by 10% to recap#ure #he
GRFA "Iostf'when wall thickness was changed to count as GRFA. This proposal
will not change the intended size, bulk, and mass of structures within the
subdivision. Conversely, if this amendment is not appraved the effect of
Ordinance14, Series of 2004, will be a reduction in size, bulk, and mass of the
structures ~within the subdivision by 10%a. The proposed GRFA changes for each ~
6
lof are detailed in Sectian VIl af this memorandum.
~ Change to platted building envelope for Lot 1:
The approved devefopment plan from October 22, 1990, included prnvisions for
platted building envefopes on each ot the six lots located within the Eleni Znefiner
Subdivision. The fallowing is the text fr4m thaf approved development plan
discussing fhe platted building envelopes:
"Building envelopes indicateo' upon the approved site pfan may be
modified wrth approval of the D,RB 6ased upon defailed review af an
lndividual dwveFling unif. 7he L1RB shall find that the modificatlan to any
6Uilding envelope does not su6stanfially rESUIt in any negative impacts
upon the sife, aaf}oining prraperty, or have any adverse impact uporr
required geologic harard considerafions. If an associatrorr of
hpmeowners within the project is formed, any madifieafion of a bulfding
envelope shall also corrform fo the rules and regulations adopted by the
associatirn. Any modification shall not exceed 15 feet and in no case ~
shall any structure be built in #he 20 faot setbacks shawn on the apprAVed
development plan. "
Staff has made the interpretatian that the modificatian af an envelope of 15 feet
or less can be made if the DRB makes the findings stated in the above
paragraph. However, the resulting modified buiVding envelope must be no more
square faotage than that of the piatted building envelope. The s#ructures
currently constructed and under cQnstruction on Lats 5 and 6 of the Eleni
~ Zneimer Subdivisian went thraugh the process described in the paragraph
abowe.
This proposal includes a request to shift a portion af the pla#ted building envelope
on Lat 1 on the northeast corner of the platted envelope approximately 31 feet ffl
the east. The exfsting building envelope on Lot 1 measures 5,462 square feet
and the propased revised (shifted) building envelope would rneasure 5,462
square feet. Tfne proposed building envelope change is attached for reference
(Attachment C).
On actober 19, 2005 the Design Reuiew Board reviewed the prapased new
building envelope proposai on a cQnceptual basis and unanirnausly agreed that
the proposed new envelope was appropriate and did not negatively affect the
adjoining properties. It was expressed that the propnsed new build3ng envelope
in conjunction with the proposed new driveway access would have fess impact
on the site.
Staff belieWes the intent of the appraved deWeloprnent plan and the platted
burlding envelopes is being met. The existing and pr'oposed buiiding envelopes
are identicai 3n area. Staff agrees with the DRB that the proposed envelope will
allow for adequa#e profection af the existing aspen grave on #he lot.

proposed to be built on Lot 1 af the Eleni Zneimer Subdivision, It was the intent
of the October 22, 1990, PEC approval that ali six lots within the Eleni Zneimer
Subdivision would gain access through a shared common driveway, which is ~
currently constructed. This propasal would relocate the access for Lot 1
appTOximately 250 feet further to the east (uphill) frorn the existing access. The
applicant has proposed the movement of the driveway access, as taking access
aff the existing driveway through the reta'rning walls wiEl result in #he constructian
of multiple retaining walls t4 hold the slope back, uvhereas the propased driveway
reiocation will rgsult in less disturbance to the hillside. On Uctober 19, 2005, the
DRB cancep#ually reviewed this application. Initially they were very eOncerned
about relocating the access, however, after performing a site visit they
unanimously agreed that gaining aceess to Lo# 1 was accomplished with less
negative impact to the site by relocating the access 250 feet to the east.
Staff has reviewed this application and determEned that the standards of site
distance for locating the driveway in its propased location have been satisfied.
The standard for sight distance of a curb-cut or? Buffehr Creek Road (25 mph) is
150 feet. The praposed location provides a sight distance in excess of 250 feet
which is the standard required on a road in which trafFic travels at 35 mph,
Several neighboring residences have expressed concern with vehicles exceeding
the speed limit anci safety dangers of Iocating this driveway in the praPased
locatian. TwQ letters farm neighbars are attached far PEG reView (Attachment
a). Staff believes that the proposed driveway relacatian does nat violate the
initial inten# of the October 22, 1990, PEC approval. StafF agrees with the DRB
that a structure built an Lot 1 which gains access at the new 14cation wiEl allaw far
a better site and archi#ectural design which does not incorpora#e numerous
retaining wafls. ~

The interrt af this prqject is !or the develppment of a new single family residence on Lot 1 of the Eleni
Zneimer Subdivision. Acce55 ta the site was initially planned to be from the priwa[e raad to the
5outhwest of the lot Yhe elevation difference between the private road and the center of the site is
greater than 30 feet. The reason far the driveway IocatioEi change is to reduce the amount of site
retaining walls su6stantially. 1Nith this submittal we are requesting to access the site from Buffehr
Creek Raad, approximatefy 250 feet eas# of the iaitersection of Laons Ridge Laop Road and BufFehr
Creek Road. With the proposed plan, the impacl will be more aesihetically pleasing to the owners
and the4r neighboes,
In addition ta the access reyt,est, we are also submitting to request the modification of the existing
building enveiope. It is our intent to have the builcling limits in the same relative locatian. The
proposed limits have been modified to take advantage of the views from the site. The proposed
building limits have the same tota[ area as the existing limits, a tatal of 5462 square feet, as defined in
the survey.
The total allowed GRFA for this Lot has been cfefined in the wlat When the Town of Vail arnended
tFre definitic,ns, and revised the method by which GRFA is calculated; the pla;t for this Subdivision was
nat amended. The previous definition of calcu9at.ing GRFA uses square faot totals to the interior of the
framed wz{Is. The current definition takes the total square footage to the exterior of framed walls.
~ With this change having not affected the tatal allowed for lots 1-6 of the Eleni Zneimer 5ubdivision, we
are requesting a l Ofo increase in allowed GRFA as shown in the new plat propasal. The GRFA aflowed
per the existing plattotals 4788.5 square feet With a 10% increase the total GRFA wou9d allow for
5267.35 square feet for buildable area.

Mr. Warren Campbell
Planner
Town of Vail
75 South. Frontage Road
Vail, CU 8l fi57
Dear Mr. Campbell,
As a resident of 1718 Buffeter Creek Raad in Vail I have been notified of a request to
amend the Approved Development Plan far the Eleni Zniemer Subdivision located at
1701 A-F Buffeter Creek RoadlLots 1-6.
This letter is to express my concerns regarding the site access request. Having lived
across from the building site (Lot 1) and along Buffeter Creek Road for six plus years I
have personally observed 8 vehicular accidents (2 motorcycle and six automobile}
resulting from excess speed while traveling down Buffeter Creek Road in this specific
location. Despite the best efforts of the Vail Police to enforce the ~5 mph speed limit,
traffic generally drives between 35 and 45 mph an this section of road. It is my
understanding that the Town of Vail public works group has reviewed this access request
and based on the ZS mph speed limit has approved this site access request. I would
recommend before the PEC grants approval of this site access request that this specific
access point be reevaluated based an the actual speed of traffic on this section of Buffeter
Creek Road versus the posted speed limit. I also request that an evaluation of this
requested access point be done under winter conditions (greatly increased stopping
distances) with its limited Iine of sight.
The safety of the eventual residents of this property potentially is at issue here and I
believe every precaution should be considered prior to approval of this request.
Sincerely,
~ ~ ~~
Bill Jensen

This letter is expressing oppoaition to one of t3ie three ament3ment

request for the folloxinq reaaona:
(1) SAFETY: The Fropoaed access point is tpD eloae to the hlind curve
uphill. Conaider four factars. Firat, the reality is cars come downhill
considerably faster than the posted 25 MFH apeed 13mit--poa3ibly
negating the etandard m,sdeSinee fos visibility. Seaond, in the four yaars we
have awned our progerty, six cara aom.inq downhi,ll have failed to make
the blind cua.ve wheae it resulted in either a head-on collision or

the intent of the request was to lessen the slevation differential for
access to the $ui2 ding enuelope. But, accosding to a visual irtspection,
the oonstructed elevatioa differential is spproximately Y7 feet at the
approved access point. Hence, there ia a marginal seduetion of

li. QESGRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
~ The purpose of today's wark session hearing with the Planning and
Environmental Carnmission is to aflow the applicant an opportunity to present the
changes which have been made to the application in response to comments feom
1
the previous meeting. After the presentation the Planning and Enviranmental ~
Commission will be asked to praWide additional feedback regarding the revisions
to the propasal.
The primary changes made since (]ctober 24, 2005, are:
• The elimination of the screening element for the mechanicals lacated over
the primary ridge;
• The reduction of f6at roofed areas and increase in roaf top terraces; and
• The incarporation of an architectural landmark tower measuring 112 feet
in height. . .
The propased Ritz-Carltan Residences projec# is on the third and final parcel of
the comprehensive development site encompassing the existing Marriott Hatel,
the Gore Creek Residences, and the West Day Lot parking area. The West Day
Lat parking area and the existing Marriott parking structure sites total 2.399 acres
in size and is focation of the proposed Ritz-CarCton Residences prcaject. A vicinity
map identifying the locatian of the development site has been attached for
reference (Attachment A). A redueed set of revisions are attached for reference
(Attachment B).
The Ritz-Carlton Residences proposal is camprised of two (2) different
de+relapment review applications. Each application is intended to facilitate the
redevelapment proposal. The develapment applicatians include:
• A ma'ar exterior alteration a lication for a new 107 multiple- ~
family dwElfing unit structure; and
• A conditianal use permit aqqfication 'Far "lodge rovms or d'welling
unlfs" located on the basement or garden level and the first fEoor
or street level af the structure.
The key elements of the proposal include:
• A107 multiple-famify dwelling unit condorrainium structure;
• A to#al of 212,695 square feet of Gross Residential Floar Area
( G RFA);
• A 388 space below grade parking structure to serve as parking for
the Marriott Hotel and the Ritz-Carltan Residences;
* A landmark tower feature which is 112 feet in height;
• A loading and delivery facifity comprised of #hree bays '
• A labby/lounge area with a front desk, concierge, and ualet; and

III. BACKGROUND
`fhe subject development site includes several parceEs of land currently used fc+r
the Marriott HQte{, the parking structure for the Marriatt Hotel, the Goee Creek
Residences, and the West Day Lot,
~

Marriott Hotel His#ory (Parcel 1 of the Wes# Day Subdivisan)
~ The Marriott (previously "The Mark") was approved by the Tawn in 1977
as a hatel and condaminium project and was zoned Special Development
D9strict No. 7'by Ordinance 3, Series of 1977. Tha project was expanded
and modified thraughout the 1980's and 1990's. In 1999 the Marriatt
property, along with the rest of Licrnshead, was rezoned to Lionshead
Mixed Use 1 and SDD No. 7 was repealed. The MarrEot# as developed
today includes 35 dwelling units, 276 hotel rooms, meeting rooms, a
restaurant, and other hotel amenities.
West Day Lot Hist+ary (Parcel 2 of the West Day Subdivision)
The western portion of the site (the Morcus 5ubdivision), knawn as the
"West Day Lot", ?nras regraded and used for Vail Resorts employee
parking. Prior ta the rezoning af this parcel to Lionshead Mixed Use 1 in
1999, the property was zoned Parkang Distric#_ •
On August 22, 2005, the Planning and Enviranmental Commission held
an initial hearing an the Ritz-Carltan Residences. At that hearing StafF
peaved the Commission with parameters by which the project would be
reviewed. At this hearing the Commission requested to see how the
parcels recently acquired by Vail Associates and #he potential of
reiocating the Frontage Road would affect this property. In addi#aon the
Commission asked for a response as ta why a conditional use permit was
~ appropriate to be granted for condominiums on the ground floor next to a
potential future lift and within an overall greater por#al to the mountain
being created in western Lionshead.
On September 12, 2005, the Planning and environmental Commission
expressed that there were na concerns with the Conditional Use Permit
that was being request foK dwelldng units on the first floor or garden level.
The Commission continued by expressing concern regarding the height of
the landmark tower. The general cansensus was that a height of 140 feet
vuas inappropriate. In addition, the Commission stated that the height of
the screening element for the mechanicals had not been justified in the
presentation and other optians should be examined. The Commission
was nat comfortable with approving the height af the screening element
aver fhe maximum height of 82.5 feet. Finally the Commission expressed
that they would like greater infarmation regarding the flat roof maximum
area requirement faund in the Lionshead Redevelapment Master Plan.
Severai members expressed a need for tFte western e{evat`on along the
Frontage Road #o have step backs incorporated into the architecture.
Dn September 26, 2005, The Pkanning and Enuironmentaf Commission
gerrerally expressed that of the three OptionsfAlternatives presented that
that Uption{Alternative B was preferable to OpttonlAl#ernati+re C. The
GommassiQners generally felt that whi{e Optian/Alternative B incorporated
the mechanical screening salution which exceeds the maximum height, it
~ does not result in additional head hieight in the top floor units as in
OptionlAlternatiae C. Sarne cancerned was expressed abaut how
mechanical screening which exceeds the rnaximum height could be
3
limited and contralfed so as not to be abused on future projects. ane ~
thought expressed was ta have more specific language in the Master
Plan to address screening of inechanical units. Same members believed
that enough regulations, or safeguards, were in place to insure that
meehanical screening abuse wouid not aceur on ather projects as they
would need to pass PEC and DRB review. For instance, the applicant '
_ was directed to pravide a sample of the mechanical sGreening material,
loak at incorporating roof-top terraces, and examine the possibility of
creating a mare "cascading roaf effecY' on the southeast elevativn.
On October 10, 2005, the Planning and Environmen#al Cammissivn gaVe
direction to the applicant regarding the proposed aechitectural deviations.
The Commission in general felt the praposed iandmark tower was still foo
tall at 120 feet and that there vvere concems wsth the height of the
architectural screening solutian for thE mechanicais. The Commissian
was relatively comfortable with the flat roof area of the building, however,
they directed staff to call Jack Zehren, of Zehren and Associa#es, one of
the individuals wha par#icipated in the writing of the Lionshead
- Redevelopment master Plan.
On October 19, 2005, staff spoke directly with Jack Zehren regarding the
intent of Sec#ion $.4.2.1, Roofs, and what the design gpal/intent was of
Gmiting flat romfed portions of buildings to 500 square feet. Thraugh
conversation it was learned that a draft prior to the approved Master Plan
iden#ified a rnaximum of 250 square feet for flaf raofs. He continuecf by
stating that #he number of 500 square feet was arbitrary and that the ~
goallintent was to allow far larger buildings which have complex roof
systems to utilize the flat r4ofed areas as "transitions" between the
complicated systems. He stated that it was the understoad during the
drafting of the Allaster Plan that some structure5 would have multiple flat
roofed areas located an larger buildings which might total mare that 500
square fieet. He conclude by stating that the writers of the Mas#er Plan
realized tha# some flat roofed areas may exceed 500 square fee#,
however, if those flat raofed areas did not disrupt the overalE roof sys#em
and architecture they cvuld be approved per the fQllawing statement from
the Master Pian:
Secandary roof forms which Qccur at logical breaks rn buildrng
massing may exceed 500 square feet if the general infent of
fragmented forms and visual harmony is met.
4n C3ctober 24, 2005, t!he PEanning and Environmental Commission
generally supported the archi#ecture of the proposed structure.
Regarding the prQpossd architectural deviations (flat rvof area,
mechanical screening, and a landmark tavuer) there were varying
' thoughts. Several mernbers were comfartable with the mechanica6
screening solution as it was a gaod solution by which other developers
cauEd aspire, while other memb€rs were adamant that the height limitafion
of 82.5 feet not be exceeded. In regards to the flat roof area of the
building the general consensus was that the area proposed was ~
appropriate. Several rnembers desired to see the architectural 6artdmarlc
retum tQ the design of the project. Some members feft the tower should
4
camply with the 97.5 feet height requirement and others tnaught it could
~ go slightfy taller.
On Novernber 2, 2005, the Design Review Board, at its regular hearing
vofed unanimousiy to forward a recQmmendatian of appraval on the
architectural deviatEOns (flat roof area, and architecturaE landmark tower)
to the Plannirag and Environmental Comrnission.
Gore Creek Residences Historyl (Parcel 3 of the West Day Subdivisi+an):
~
C3n Nowernber 24; 2003, the Planning and Environmental Commission
approued text amendments to Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses;
Generally (on all levels of a building or outside a building), Vail Town
Code, to aIPow single-family resEdential dweflings arad two-family
residential dwellings as conditional uses in the Lianshead Mixed Use 1
District and Section 12-16-7, Use Specific Griteria and Standards, Vail
Town Code, to provide ceiteria to whieh a single-farnily and two-family
residential dwelling proposal within the Lianshead Mixed Use 1 Dis#rict
must adhere. The text arriendments were subsequently appraved by
Tawn Councif upon second reading in Ordinance 36, Series of 2003, on
December 16, 2003. On June 28, 2004, the Planning and Environrriental Commission
appraved, with conditions, a conditional use permit and a major exterior
alteratian application on this site for eight two-family structures for a total
~ afi 16 dwellirtg units.
On December 13, 2004, the planning and Environmentaf Commission
approved a minor subdivision establishing the West Day Subdivision .
which js eomprised of three parcels. The approvaf and reccrrding of the
West Day Subdivision was the culrriination of the review of the Gore
Creek residences during which it was agreed fhat the three lots
compnsing the West Day Subdivisifln would be tied together for zaning
purpases. A note was p1aced upan the Wes# Day Subdivisian which
states the fallowing:
"For fhe pUrpases af zoning, Lofs 1, 2, and 3, creafed by this
subtlivision are to be treated as orre developmerrt srte.
Development standards shall bs based uparr the rmprovemerrts
and land area of fhe combined area of Lots 1, 2, anal 3.,,
- As a part of the approval of the West Day Subdivision, a spreadsheet
identifying the development potential for each of the three parcels was
approved in conjunetion with the minor subdivisEan. That spreadsheet,
was entitled, "West Qay LatlMarrio#t HatellGore Creek PEace

X. RESOLUTION 18, SERIES DF 20€14, REVIEW CRI7ERlA
~ The applicant is requesting two archi#ectural design deviatians which are
permitted flexibili#y under the Lionshead Redevelopmerrt Masfier Plan and are
subject to review by the Pfanning and Enuironmental Cornmissian under a set of
criteria. If cerkain findings can be made by the Planning and Enviranmental
Commission, upon receipt of a recommendation by the Design Review Board, ~
tlex'rbility can be granted, The two archi#ectural design features the applicant is
requesting flexibility from are:
16
~ 1. The Master Plan limitation on a maximum of 500 sq. ft. of flat raofed ~
areas; and
2. The Master Plan requirements far an architectufal landmark which is
112 feet tall.
Staff will not addeess the specific cri#eria at this time regarding the two
architectural design elements the applicant is requesting to deviate frurn in the
Lionshead Redevelopmenf N1aster Plan. Attached are the responses to the
specific criteria submitted by the applicant regarding the praposed deviations
(Attachment C). Sta#f's initial arralysis of the two architectural design deuiations
are as fo{lows:
i
1. Flat Roofed Area of the Structure:
The Liansheatf Redewelopment Master Plan identifes a maximum area
of 500 square fee# far flat roofed portions of a s#ructure. Staff believes
that the intent af this provision is to limit buildings to minimal flat raofed
areas sa as to encourage true sloping roaf forms. Staff believes that
the fimitation of 500 square feet per area fior a structure located on a
site encompassing 2.399 acres may be unreasonable. The proposed
structurE has a tatal roaf area of approxima#ely 58,433 square feet and
the propased flat roofed portion of fhe struc#ure is propased to be
~ approximately 3,910 square feet or 6.7 percent of the tatal area. This is
a reduc#ian frorn the previausly proposed roof design which contained
approximately 5,442 square feet or 9.2 percent o# the total area. The current roo# plan now incorporates 4,454 square feet of roaf-#Qp terrace.
The applicant has prap4sed a roof design in which they believe the flat
partion is secondary to the sloped roofed areas. Thraugh the use af
sloRed mansard roof forms the applicant has attempted ta reduce the
uisibility of the flat roofed partians af the structure from many
perspectives. The flat roofed areas will no# be visible from a pedestrian
perspective nor from the surround praperties as the height af #he
building is above a majority af the neighboring strUCtures. The fkat
roofed areas will, however, be visible from the ski mountaEn.
~
~ 2. Landmark Tower Elemant:
The applicant has prapased to locate a landmark tower element an the
nQrkhwesfi corner of the proposed structure. The Master Psan identifies
the importance af landmark elements on projects within Section 8.4.1.2, Landmaeks. The specific language in the Master Flan is as follows:
A landrnark provides a sense of orientation for the communfty,
~ and reinforces ifs "sense of place" or image. As such, if must
~ be visible from key lacafions wirhin fhe commurrify, such as
portals and rnajor pu6lic spaces, and must affer an image
consisfent wrth Lionshead. As a unique architectural eIement,
a Iandmark should be designed fo clearly stand ouf fram the
17
~
resf of the community, whlle sfill presenting a consistent ~
design language. Care shauld 6e takerr to provide a clear
hierarchy 6etwee,n the vIllage landmark and ofher, secondary
lanclmarks. Landmarks are mos# successfuJ when they serve •
special funetions such as bell towers, clock fowers,
monumenfs, or publrc art, rather than being self-serving.
Further,more, fhey shDUld be carefulfy scaled to the buildings
ad'jacent to them, as wefl as ta the overall scale of the urban
vr"!lage.
Title 14 of the Town o# Vail Zoning Cade states that:
Tawers, spires, cupoloas, chi,mneys, flagpoles, and simiJar
architecfural features not useable as habifa6le floor arsa ,may
extend above the heiqht limit a distance vf not rnore fhan
tvnren#y-five percent (25°fo) af the height limif nor more than
. fiffeen feet (15).
1'he proposed tower has a height of 112 fiee#, measures appraximately
25 feet by 25 feet, and is loca#ed in cEose proxirnity ta the intersectian of
the South Frontage Raad and West Lionshead Circle. This revised ~
proposal has reduced the heiglat of the landmark tower a total of 8 feet
from 120 feet depicted on the pfeWid!!S plans. The praposed
architectural landmark tower dQes not contain any GRFA above the
max'rmurn heighr af 82.5 feet in height. Currently the feature is ~
anticipafed ta be illuminated frorn the exterior with up lighting. At a
height of 192 feet the proposed tower is 14.5 feet (14.9%) taller than the
maximum height of 87.5 feet iderrtified in the Master Plan. The
Planning and Environmental Commission does have the authority within
the Master PEan in conjuncfian with the criteria found in Reso6utian 18,
series af 2004, to apfcrw far an architectural geature as proposed if the
findings found below are made.
It shal4 be the burden of the appiicant to demonstrate to the satisfactian of the
, Tnwn of Vail Plarrning & Environmentai Cammission following a recammendation
from the Design Review Board that;
1. The request for design cEeviatians are in cornpliance with the purposes of
the zone district; and
2. The proposal which includes the design deviations is consistent with
applicable eietments of the Lionshead Redevelopment INaster Plan; and
3. The proposaf which includes the design deviations does nat have a
significant negative effect on the character of the neighborhood; and ~
18
I
I
4. The proposal substantialiy complies uvith other applicabie elements of the ~
~ Va61 cornprehensive pBan; and
I
5. The design deviation meets or exceeds the intent of the specific design j
. standards as prescribed in Section 8.4; and, ~
I
I
6. A public benefit is achieved as a result of the design deviation; and, ~
I
r. The design deviati4n furthers the goals, objectives and purposes as stated ~
in Sections 2.3, 2.5 and 8.2 of the Lionshead Redeveloprrtent Master Plan. ~
Should the Plann9ng and Environmenta! Commissian choase ta approve the
appfiGation, staff recornmends that the Commission make the foilowi~g findings
before granting a flexibility under the recommendations of the Lianshead
RedevelQpment Mas#er Pian:
1. That the request far desigra deviatians are in compliance with the purposes of
the zone district; and
I
. 2. That the proposal which includes the design deWiations is consis#ent rrrith
applicable elemen#s of the Lionshead Redeveiopment Master Plan; and ~
I
~ 3. That the proposak which includes the design deviations dnes not have a
significant negative effect on the character of the nekghborhoad; and !
4. That the proposal substantiaaly complies with other appBicable elements of the
Vail comprehensive plan; and 5. That the design deviation meets or exceeds the intent of the specific design
standards as prescribed in Sec#ion 8.4; and,
6. That a public benefit is achieved as a result af the design deviatian; and,
7. That the design deviation furthers the goals, abjectives and purposes as i
stated in Sec#ions 2.3, 2.5 and 8.2 of the Limnshead Redevelopment Master ~
Plan. I

RESOLUTION 18. SERIES OF 2004, REVIEW CRITERLA.
Two deviations to architectural design standards of the Lionshead Re+deveiopmen# 1Vlaster
Plan are praposed by the Ritz Residences. Flexibility to these standards is subject to
review by the I'lanning and Environmental, Commission (following a reccsmmendation
from the DRB). The two deviations to these standards are:
"Second re?of elements" in excess of 5(}0 s. ft.
The pz-oposed building has a tatal xoof area of appraximately 58,433 squas-e feet and the '
proposed flat roQfed pQrtion of the structtre is praposed to be approximately 8,364 square
feet or 14.3% af tiie tatal raQf area. Of this flat roof area approxirnately 3,909 sq. ft. wi1l
be rooftop terraces resealting in 4,454sq. ft. of flat roof, or 6.7% of the tatal roof area.
T`he propased roaf plan depiets 26 separate flat roofed areas. Of these anly five exceed
500 sq. ft. and these fve areas range in size frQm 576 ta 949 sq. ft. A numher of these
flat roofed areas accommodate mechanicai equipment. The averail roof desigzi is
predaminantly a gable form along with partions of mansard roof. From the public
damain the building will not "read" or be perceived as a"flat roofed" building.
~
On November 2nd the DRB unanirnausly recornmended approval of this proposed design.
LandmarklTower feature in excass af 82.5'
The LHNIP specifically encDUrages architectural landmark features as a means to define
spaces and ta create unique and creative building forms in Lionshead. The Plan also
states that the height of sueh features may exceed the aliowable building height. The
Plan does not specify to what extent a landmark/tnwer may exceed allowable building
height, hut sinnply states appraval is subject to the reviewing board.
Proposed pIans for the Ritz include a tower located at the main entry ta the building. In
addition ta defining this entry the tower "anchors" the corner af the project and also
establishes a landrnark feature at the western end of Lionshead. While the PEC has not
taken formal action on the height of this tower, the Connznission has indicated that a
landmark feature is apprapriate in this location. On November 2°d the DRB unanimously
recoznmended approval of this propased design.
As zneasured to its geak the tower is 112 feet taIl from exis4ing grade and'47.5 feet from
proposed finished grade. There is no habitable space above the maximun building height
~ of 82.5 feet.

1. The re uest for desi deviations are in com liance with the u oses of the zone
district; and The purpose of the Lionshead llTixed Use I Districf is "tQ provide sites for a
mixture of m ultiple -family dwellings, lodges, hoteds, fractaQnal fee clubs, time
.shares, lodge dwelling units, restaurants, affices, skier services, and cornrnercial
establishments in a elustered, unified development.... and to maintain the
desirable qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site develapment
, starrdards The Ritz Club Residences is comprised of multi-famaly dwellings
whieh are in keeping with this stated purpcase. Aside,f~am the tvvo proposed
deviataons the praject is designed in canformance to established development
stanclards, thereby furthering the desirable qualities of the District and ensut-ing
adequate light, air, open space, etc. 7`he minar nature of the proposed deviations
as such that the project is stild very much in compliance with the purpose of the
LH.MU-1 llistrict.
2. The proposal which includes the design deviations is consistent with applicable
elernents of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan; and '
The Ritz was designed ta conforrn 1o applicable elements of the Master Plan and
the LHUM-1 zane district. The proposed building has been before the PEC on
ftve occasions and to date the anly tautstanding issues pertain to these praposed
deviatinns. This would imply that the overall project design is consistent with
relevrant elements of the pdan.
3. The proposal which includes the desigm deviations does nat have a significant
negative ef#'ect on the character of the neighborhoad; and
Flat roof areas are very limited and are located such that it is unlikely they will I
be visible to any significant ex1ent from virZually crnywhere. This is due to lwa
fiactors - flat roofs comprise only a small partion of the toPal roQf area and rn all cases the.flat raQf portians of the building are on internal areas of the roof The
buildang will "read" as thaugh it has a pitehed roof. Ae flat roofed portian will
have no significant negative ampact to the neighborhood.
T'he vast majority of the tQwer is below the ma,ximum allo}vable bu#ldrng height of
82.5 feet. Portions of 1he tower above 82.5' are generally limited to the narrow
spire. 1'he locataon af the tawer is such that zt will orient prirnarily to the Frontage Road and ta the VR Maintenance Yard. While the tower will be visible
from the Yail Spa, it daes not have a sigrticant negative effect on neighborhood.

4. The propasal suhstantiallv camplies with ather applicable elements of the Vail
~ com rehensive lan• and
The 7'own's Comprehensive Plan includes a wide variety of documents, f7ne of
the most recent plans and clearly the mast relevant plan to consider in relation to
this praject is t.he Lianshead Redevelopment MetsteY Pdan. As described in item
#2 above, the Ritz projeet is cansistent with applicable elements of this plan.
5. The desigLi deviation meets or exceeds ttie intent of the s ecifie desigLi standards
as. rescribed in Seetion 8.4; and
The LHMP includes a vast number of design goals and objectives. One of these is
to encourage the use of roofs to "pravide visual cohesion to the urhan fabric"
and to ensure that "raofs are predominantly gables and hfps, with sheds or flat
roofs which cover rnore than 500 sq. ft. " The Plan goes on to state that
"secondary roofs that occur at lagical break:s in bualding massing may excced
500 sq. ft. YYhile no1 specifically stated in the LHMP, it can be inferred that the
intent of the limitation an flat roofs is tca further the gaal of having
' pr-edominantly gahle raofs
The ,proposed roaf plan depicts 26 separate flat roofed areas. Df these only five
eaccecd 500 sq. ft. and these five areas range in size froriz 576 to 949 sq. ft. Fram
a quantitative standpoint the portaon o_,fflat raof thax exceeds 500 sq. ft. is very
~ insignificanl. Frnm a qualitative standpoint the_,f1'at rcrof pnrtions of the building
are innocuous. The proposed devaation clerrrdy meets the intent of Section 8.4 as
it pertains to flat roofs.
The LHMF specifically states that "landmark" butlding elements sueh as towers
may exceed maximum building heights. The PEC has acknowledged that a cower ~
I
in the location proposed is appropriate. The proposed height af 'the tower has '
6een determined in arder to establish an apprapriate relatianship with the rest of
i
the building. In doing so the tower meets the specific design standards of Section j
8.4.
6. A public benefit is achieved as a result of the design deviation; and,
7he design deviatiens, Wj21lF? TYtIiTOY in nature rxre important elements of the
prQpased buzlding. The sereening feature, while exceeding the 82.5 building
height lamit, provides a significant publtc benefit by screening raoftop meehanical
equipment. Virtually all of the flat roofed portions of the building that exceed
500 sq. ft. also serve as rao}`top patios or locataons,for mechanical equipment - a
public benefit i.s achieved by locatin,g this equipment on the roof in laeu of ground
level loeation. When consid'ered in the context of the praposed building and ln
the context of the three parcels of the West Day Lot subdiuision, approval of the
~ proposed deviations wild result irx an improved design solution whieh in turn
achieves a public benefit consistent with the otiJerall redevelopment of Linnshead.

Response tQ Design Deviation Criteria
A majar design goal of the LHMP is to estahlish "speeial landmark fea,tures ~
The design of the Ritz includes a tower feature and in doing so addresses this
design goal and prravides a public benefit.
7. The desi deviation furthers the goals, objectives an.d purposes as stated in
Sections 2.3. 2.5 and 8.2 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
5'ection 2.3 refers to broad policy objectives such as redevelopment, irnproved

Seetion 2.5 addresses broad urban design principles and Section 8.2 addresses
the overall design intent far Lionshead. By virtue of the project's compliance
with specific releuant guideldnes the Ritz . f`urthers these broad gaals and
objeetives. The two minor design deviatians proposed by the 12itz C'arlton
Residences are irnportant elements of the overall building design as and such also
serve ta further the goals of the sections referred to abave.

achieved:
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent proper#ies relative to architectural design,
scale, buik, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation.
The applicant is praposing an exterior alteratian w'hich staff beiier+es will greatly
enhance the visual appeal and complement the architecturaP aesthetics of
ac[jacent praperties. The design of the exterior is sensitive #o the immediate
environment and is campatible with the neighborhood surrounding Area A of
Speciaf Development District No. 4, and its environs. The height, scale, design,
buik and mass and mf the building wilC meld 'onto the architectural context of the
Cascade Resort and neighbaring residential uses. ;
B. Uses, activity and density rrvhich provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and actiyity.
The applicant is not proposing any changes of use that deviate frorn the
inteRtions of Special DeveEopment Distriet No, 4. The slight increase in density
by (11) eleven dwelling uni#s under this proposal will not have ar+y r,egative
impact on the functions of the surrounding uses and activities. Considering the
applicant's parking analysis on page 10 of their written submittal (Attachment B),
the parking demand will decrease with the changes in use from Movie Theater
and a private educatianal institution, to mastly residential with some small office,
retail and educatianal uses on the first floor of the buiCding. Given #he present
functionaii#y o# Cascade Viliage and it not having evolved into a"third VilEage" as
contemplated in the ariginal adopting ordinance, staff does not see any probiem
with lacating {irnited cammercial office uses on the first floor of the building. The
ordinance to be brought forward ta Council will include amending language to
allow office uses on the first floor, in a limitetl capacity.
~ C. Compliance with parking and ioading requirements as outlined in Chapter
12-10 of the Vail 7own Code.
The provisions of SDD No. 4 state off-street parking shall be provided in
accordance with Chapter 12-10, except far 75Q/o of the parking in Area A shall be
iocated within a parking structure or buildings. The ordinance requires that 421
parking spaces be provided for the uses in Area A in the exisifing Cascade Club
parking structure. A17.5 percent mixect use cred'at per the Tawn of VaiP parking
code has been applied to thE total nvmber of required parking spaces in the
Cascade structure. The parking table withan the approved develc?pment plan fflr
SDD No. 4 includes an allocation of parking spaces to be provided for the uses
constructetf on-sEte. The Colorado Mauntain CQllege build+ng (how the entire
building, including the theaters, is described in the ordinance) is parked entirely
within the Cascade Club parking structure aceording to the following breakdawn:
Theater, 28 parking spac.es; Colfege Glassroorns, 40 parking spaces; Callege
Office, 4 parking spaces; Theater Meeting Roorn 2J, 11.5 parking spaces, Sub-
Total, 83.5 parking spaces; BIue TigerlC9ancy's, 13.3 parking spaces (na change
proposed); Cascacfe Perrthouses 16 parking spaces (no change proposed).

designed to prociuce a functaanal development responsive and sensitive to
natural features, vegetation and averall aesthetic quality of the community.
The praposal does noi cal@ for any modifications that would impact natural
features or vegetation. 5taff believes that the averall aesthetic quality of the
cornmunity would be enhanced by the propased exteriot` changes and physical
impravemen#s proposed by the applicants.
G. A circulation system designed for hath vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and o€f-site traffic circulation.
The applican# is proposing changes that wilf have a positive impact on vehicle
and pedestrian circulatory patterns. StafF believes this criterion will be met by the
applicant's considering the inclusion of a plan to remove #he existing pedestrian
walkway aver Westhaven Drive and rebuiid i# at a height suitable for large trucks
and buses to pass undemeath.
H. Functional and aes#hetic landseaping and open space in order to optimize
and preserve natural features, recreation, rriews and functians.
The applicant is not proposing any cFranges which would have a negative impact
upon the elements of this criterion.
f. Phasing pian or subdivisian plan that will maintain a workable, functional
and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development disfr`rct.
5taif is nat aware af any intention on the applicant's behalf to phase this project,
however, shoulci a phasing plan be praposed, this criterian mus# and will be met
in full.
IX. STAFF RECQMMENaATION
The Gorrrmunity Deveiapment Department recommends tha# the Planning and
Enwironmental Commission forwards a recammendation of approval wifh
conditions of the propased SDQ amendment to the Vail Town Council. Staffs
recornmendation is based upon the review of the criteria found in Sectian VIII of
this memarandum and the evidence and tesfimony presented, subject to the
fallowing canditions:
1. F'rior to first reading of the arnending ardinance beFore the Vail Towet
Cauncil, #he applicant shall submit a detailed parking plan to the
Cornmunity Developrnent Departmerrt for incausian in the amending

1. Intaroduction and Summary of Request
This apglication represents a request tQ redevelop the Vail Cascade Residences 7acateci at 1310
Westhaven Drive in Vail, Coloa-ado. Today that property houses classrooms and related
educational Facilities as avell as the Cascade Village Theater. Although a rescaurant and eight,
tvsro-story residential condorniniurrn units are also located within the building, those uses and
units will retnain and are not besng retieveloped as part of this application. The primary
impetus to redevelop the educatiQnal and theater components of tkais buildizag was th.e recent
move by Calorado Mountain Gollege to its new caxnpus in Edwards, Colorado as well as the
limited economic viability of the theaters in their present location.
In cantemplating redevelopment of the Vail Cascade Resiclences eare has been taken to
consider the requireinenrs of Special Develapznent District No. 4, Area A("SI»?" or "SDD
No. 4") in whiclz the property is located as well as the Town of Vail Comprehensiue Plan.
This stibmiltal addresses each of the criteria identified far develapment within SDD No. 4.
Specifically, the applicant is seeking a major amendrnent pursuant ta Section 12-9A-10B of the ~ Town of Vail Municipal Code due to a proposed change in the number of dwelling units
within the overall SDD. The applicant desires an amendment ta SDD No. 4 so it rnay develop
~ eleven (11) residential units as well as cornm.ercial, affice, retail and school space on the
graund floor and throughaut the building. The proposal includes renovations which include a
new roof which will be modified to the existing highest point of the fourth floor sky lights
(i.e., all impravements are below the existing maximurn elevatian of the building). Such a
modification will accornmadate a fifth floor loft area within the building. Other renovations
include several new windows and a new fa~ade all of which will renzain within the existing
footprint and represent reductians in total building niass by remaving existing portinns of the
building. All of the praposeci exterior ehanges to the building will enhance the buildings
aesthetics anel form and will help the building relate better to other buildings in the vicinity.
Aciditionally, the existing pedestrian bridge across Westhaven Drive will be :removed and
replacecl with a new bridge that allows taller trucks to travel beneath it.
The groposed development is harmonious with the general character of the Town and the
goals of SDD Na. 4. The propased density is low and the new uses wi]1 be an asset to the
Tawn. The current development standards within SDD #4 al1Qw all of the density and
GRFA being allocated to this structure.

A. Zone 17istriet
The Vail Cascade Residences property is located within SI]I) Nca. 4} Area A. While
the property was orig;anally zoned PUD by Eagle County it was approved as an SDD
withOut an underlying z.one district. As a result the SDD orciinance (in conjunction

~ III, Detailed Project Description and zonxng Analysis
A. Praject Site and Ownership
SDD No. 4 is 97.955 acares in: area and developrnent Area A within SDD No. 4 is
cornprised of 17.955 acres. The Vail Cascade Residences are located at 1310 Westhaven
Drive within Area A. The building is lacated on 0J16 acres. Ta the north and across
Westhaven Drive are the Westhaven Residences (the existing "ruins" site) and the
Caseade Club athletic club and spa facility. Tv the east and sauth of the garoperty are a
court yard and the Cascade Club Hotel. The Millrace Condominiums are located to
the west. The theater, certain common areas, and the Colnrado Mauntain College
space are the subjeet of this redevelcapment application. The existing spaces at issue are
awned by 1310 Buftalo Properties, LLC and Cascade Village 7'heater, Inc. with
Michael Hecht and Steve Lindstrom being thc respective priticipals of each entity.
Neil Sirotkin owns a sma11 office spaee within the building which is also included in
chis application. The rernaining condaminiurn units and restaurant within the
building are not part of this applicatian atZd are individually owned. The
conciominium association has conserated to the £iling af this application.
~ B. Proposed User
~ The redevelopment plan proposes ta locate eteven (11) residential candominium units
sn the building as well as cnmm,ercial uses including office, retail and educational
facilities on the first floor of the buiIding. The basement level of the building which
has an exterior wall on the u-est side of the building will be developed with twa (2)
residential units anti common areas.
The street level of first floor of the building wi11 include common foyrer and entrance
for the restden ia 1 t condominiums, restatiirant spaces, retail space, a:nd office use. The
finaI compositian of uses on the first flocar has noz been finalized. The alIawable uses
are being modified tn allaw office use on this level of the builciing.
The second floor will ineYude portions of five (5) dwelling units. These dwelling units
are two story units and therefore oCCUpy the third floor as well.
The fourth floox includes four (4) dwelling units. These units are also two story units
wnth same limited tloor area added as a fifth level to the building.
SDD No. 4, Area A allows as permitted rises far the first floc,r or street level the uses
listed in Section 12-7$-3 (Commercial Core 1) of the Town of Vail Municipal Gode.
~ Those uses include but are not limited to retail shops, eating and drinking
establishments and lcadges. SDr] No. 4 further provides that in developrnent Area A all
~
Vail Cascade Residences Redevelapment 4
Mauriello Pl.inning Group, LLC
~
~ other #1oor lewels besides the first flaor street level "may inelude, retail, theater,
a-estaurant, and office except that no professional or business office shall be tocated on
stxeet level or $irst flaor unless it is clearI}r accessary to a 1Qdge or educational
institutican except fnr an offfice space liaving a maximum square footage af 925 square
feet located on the first floor an the northwest corner of the Plaza Conference Center
Building.'° Finally, SDD No. 4, Area A cnncemglates other permitted uses which
inclucle lodge and multi-family dwellings.
A1l of the uses propaseti by the applicant for the street level af the praperty are
permitted uses with the exception of professional/office or educational space. The
applicant respectfully requests that the Town of Vail a19ow these uses an the street
level of the property far a number of reasons. First, the applicant will use its best
efforts ta locate any retail or restaurant space to the front of the building to allaw for
an attractive streetscape.
Seconci, the Cascade Village was origanally contemplated as a third portal to the ski
mountain. The goa1 was to create a sinaller, third comrraercial center after Vail and
Lianshead. As t.inle hrzs passed, it laas becpme elear that the original vision for Cascade
Village has been only partially realized. Wtzile the ski lift, hotel and athletic club
~ support certain retail and commercial uses, the building is 4ve11 suited for office and
professaonal space. The obvious lack of fioot traffic in the area has limited the viability
~ af retail anci restaurant uses in zhe area. Indeed, the current use of the street level for
this property is adininistrative offices, classroorxis and meetzng space associated with an
educational facilicy, and circulation z-amps for the rheaters. To allow this contznued use
as well as prafessional and office space will maintain the historic eharacter of the
graperty and address a carnrnunity need with minimal ixnpact.

The applicants are propQSing to provide an adaptive reuse of this building to
accommodate camznercial and resic.iential uses. The prop4sed changes to the building
will essentially utilize the existing building rnass to sculpture a new building form.
This rneans that overall building mass will be reinoved fraYn the building to create
additianal areas of glazing and interest to the building. Frorn the pedestrian
perspeetive the builciing wilS h.ave less impact on the common areas and West~iaven
Drive. The north, sauth and east fa~ades of the building will be completely
redeveIoped. Since the vvest fa~ade of the building contains private condominiuxns,
that porxian of the building is not being redevelopeci with this application; instead this
application is praposing improvements and enhanceinents urhich were develaped using
Nlexisting architectural tkaeines frorn the west elevation. This approaeh will ereate a
compatible and consistent architectural salution to the building while not burdening
the existing eondominiutn owners the need to participate rn the improvements to the
buiIding.

F. Parking and Loading
~ SDD No. 4 Pravides that off-szreet Parking shall be Provicied in aecordance with
Chapcer 12-10, except that 75% of the parking in Area A shalI he located within a
parking structure oz- buildings. The ordinarice requires that 421 parking spaces be
provided for the uses in Area A in the main Cascade Club parking structure. A 17.5
pearcent mixed use creciit per the Towm o# Vail parking code has been agplied to the
total number of required parking spaces in the Cascade strueture.
The parking table within the ordinance approving, SDD No. 4 includes an allocation
of parking spaees ta be provided for the tises constz'ucted on-site. The Colorado
Mountain College builciing (this is how the entire b«ilding including the theaters is
describec{ in the ardinance) is parked entirely within the Gascade Club parking
structure according to the followizag breakdown:
Theater 2$ parking spaces
Callege Classrooms 40 parking spaces
Corlege C7ffice $ park.ing spaces
Tlieater Meeting Room 2J 11.5 parking spaces
~ Sub-Tcatal 83.5 parking spaces
~ Blue Tiger/Clancy's 13.3 parking spaces (no change proposeci)
Cascade Penthouses 16 parking spaces (no change proposed)
Therefore, 83.5 less the mixed use parking credit of 17,5% for a total of 69 parking
spaces are provided within the Cascade Club parking structure for this building. The
propased uses w ithin the builcling generate the following parking need:
Eleven dwelling units: 27.5 parking spaces at 2.5 per unit
Cc,mmercial Fflaor areas as office use: 16.3 parking spaces at 1 per 250 sq. ft.
(4,087 net inerease sq. ft. retail/office)
7'otal: 43.$ parking spaces
Total less 17.5'°{o multi-use eredir 37 parking spaces
Therefore, there is a net reciuction in the number pf spaces (32 less spaces) required to
be provided within the existing parking structure.
The required parking for Area A is owned by a third party. However, xhat does not
change the fact the parking must he available to rneet the parking requirement of uses
vvithin Area A as described in the regulating ordinance. Since the proposed
redevelopment of the subject property will have markedly less impact an the parking,
~ the owner of the parking strueLUre also stands to.benefit from the proposed
applicatian b}- unbw-dening 32 parking spaces originally set aside far the Colorado
~
Vail Cascade Residence_s Redcvclopnnen[ 10
Mauriello Planning Graup, LLC
.
~
Mountain College and Cascade Theaters. No additional parking is theretore required
~ for this application, nor is ownershap of that parking required far the proposed uses.
All Ioading and clelivery is currently provided w•ithin the existing structures. There is
a genez-al reduetion on loading and delivery needs baseci nn the proposed change of
use.
G. Access and Circulation
The access and circtilation for the project remains tinchangetl from its present form.
The primary vehicular access point fc7r the project is From Westhaven Drive. A three
level parking structure serves this pxoperty along with the adjacent axhletic club and
hotel. There is a zxet reduction in traffic with the propased application based upon the
change a:E use. Level of serviee wili only imgrove on Westhaven Drive due to the
proposed change ot use.
H. Density
I7ensity is expressed as the number of residential dwelling units per acre of land. The
~ ardinance for SpD No. 4, Area A indicates that a minimum of three hundred fifty-
two (352) accommodatian or transient dweiling units and amaximum of ninety-four
~ (94) dw elling unfts for a total dcnsity of two hundred seventy (270) dwelling units. A
review of the C_lydina;nee 12 Series of 2005 illustrates that 2$$ accommodation units, 74
dwelling units (plus ? EHU's) have beendeveloped to date. Additionally, Westhaven
Residences was approved with a totaI of 13 dwelling units. T'he an:tacipated density in
the form af accommodation units (when ersnverced to dwelling units at 2
accommodation units per dweliing unit) results in a surplus af 41 uzadeveloped
dwelling units. Additionally, the number of undeveloped dwelling units is nine (R).
This leaves an overall availahle density of 50 dwelling units within Area A. Thus, the
acidition of 11 dwelling utaits is well within the densrty requirerr3ents for Area A. This
proposal fully coinplies with the density requirernents established by the Town of
V ail.
L $iaiddang Height
SDD Na. 4 requires that height be measured "vertically from the existing grade or
finished grade (whichever is more restrictive) at any given point to the top of a flat
roof, ar rnansard roof, or to the highest ridgeline of a sloping roof" unless otherwise
specified. The subject property is allowed a maximum height of 71 feet under
Ordinance No. 12, Seraes 2005. The existing and proposed Vail Cascade Residences
~ are below the maximum building height.
~
Vail Cascade Residences Redeveloprnent 11

~
J. Setbctcks
~
Setbacks far Area A are as indieated in each development plan with a minimum
setback on the periphery af Area A pf not less than twenty feet. Further buildings
within Area A must maintain a SQ foot stream setback from the Gore Creek. Because
this propQSal cioes not include an addition to the existing building or change ta the
building envelope all setback requirements have been satisfied.
K. Site Coverrzge
Site coverage is a measure of bttilding foocprint to total lot area. In Area A, na more
than 45°l0 of the total site area shall be coverecfi by buildizags unless otherwise indicated
on site speeific developtnent plans. Again, the buitding, footprint is nat being increased
with this praposal. As a result all site coverage requirements continue ta be rrret.
L. Landscape Area/Streetsccrpe
Ordinanee No. 12, 5eries 2005 establishes the requirements for landscaping within
SDD No. 4. The total development area shall be lanciscaped as provided in the
~ development plan to include retention of natuxal landscape, if appropriate. In Area A,
50% of the area shall lae landscaped unless otherwise indicated_ The applicant will not
~ reduce the existing landscape area associated with this building. T'he landseaping
requirem€nts have been satisfied.

~ M. Employee Housing
The Tawn of Vail ha$ required the owners of new and redeveloped projeets tc) provide
employee liousing for the incremental increase in the number af employees generated
by a project. The Town, to-date, has never caciifzed this requirement or the formula
used by staff to determ.ine the requirement. Vile have applied the formula traditionally
used by the To«%n staff to this praject while taking a credit for the existing uses
laeated on the property. The formula beloNv indicates an overall reduction in

~ IV. Special Develapment L7istrict - Standards and Griteria
"The purpose af the special develogment distz-ict is to encourage flexibility and creativity
in the development of land in order to promate its Fnost appropriate use; to improve the
design character and quality of the new develflpment with the Town; to facilitate the
adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and
scenic features of open space areas; an.d ta fuz-ther the overall goals of the community as
stated in the Vail cornprehensive plan."
The following design criteria are used by the Town in the evaluation of a Special
Developrnent District. The proposed Vail Cascade Residences redevelopment plan
adequately addresses each of these criteria. Below is a summary of how the project
implements each of these crxteria. Please note that tkae entire application and submittal
materials for this application address the criteria helow in addition to the summary
provided.
A. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environrnent, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to
architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity,
~ charaeter, visual integrity and orientation.
~ Otaz- Analvsis:
The praposecfi Vail Caseade Residences redevelopment Ieaves the existing;
building generally intact. The building has and continues to be compatible with
the iznmediate enviranment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to
architectural design, scale, bulk, building heig,ht, buffer zones, identity,
charactez-, visual integrity and drientation. The changes to the exterior af the
building will reduce ics impact upon the neighbarhood and rtiake the lauilding
fnore campatible with the cnmmercial and residential uses in the area.
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible,
efficient and workable re(ationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Our Analysis:
The applicant is not proposing any ehanges that deviate significantly from the
intentians af SDD No. 4. Tlxe Cascade Village area and SDD Na. 4 is
characterized by residential, lodging, and comrnercial develapment. SDD No.
4 was established to ensure camprehensive develapment in a rnanner that is
harmonious with the general character af the Town. The proposed
~ redeveloprrient plan responds to the resident3al and conamercial uses already
developed in the neighbarhood and adds to the high quality rnix of uses existzng

~ along V(lesthaven Drive. The proposed uses will enhanee this resort hub within
the Cascade Village and gen,erate actAVZty that will not only benefit the property
owner but the citizens of ehe Tc,vvn o# Vail. The propased project cz-eates a
compatible, efficient, and workable relationship tiuith suxrounding uses and
activities.
C. Parking and Loading; CompIiance with parking and laading requirements
as autlined in Chapter 10 a£ this Title,
C7ur Anal sis:
The proposed redevelopxneiit plan zneets or exceeds all af the garking and
loading standards found in Chapter 10 af the Zoning Regulations oz- thase
contained within the ordznance regulating SDD I`elo. 4. Please refer to other
sections of this report and the proposed develagznent plan for details an
parking and loadimg.
D. CompXeh+ensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
Comprehensive Plaa, Tawn Policies and urban design plans.
~ Our Analysis:
The proposed Vail Cascade Residences redevelapment plan complies with all
~ relevant master plannzng documents and Town policies. Please refer to section
"V" af this report for a comprehensive review of the Town's master planning
docurnents and policies that are implemented by this plan.
E. Natural arad/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and rnitigation of natural
and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special
developrnent district is proposed.
Our Analysis
There are no natural or gealagic hazards existing or mapped by the Town for
this site.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and apen space
provisions designed to produce a£unctional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
oUr Anaivsis:
Tl1e building at issue has been developed for mare than 20 years and therefore
~ there are na natural features on the site. The property is well landscaped. The
proposed prcrject was designed ta reflect the more modern design of the existing

SDD No. 4 and specifically Area A. The proposeci plan includes exterior
improvernents to the building that will enhance the aesthetics of the a,rea for
local residents and visitors.
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off-site trafFic circ:ulation.
Our Analysis:
The propased groject does not change the access or circulatian systezn for the
area. The proposed change in use will reduce the impact to traffic in the area.
H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetie landscaping and open space in order
to optimize and preserve natural features, reereation, views and function.

Area A is eurrently developed with landscape iznprovements and npen spaces
«=liich co€nply with the original approval far Cascade Village. The proposed
~ project will nat imgact landscape or apen space requirements.
~ I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a
workable, fu:nctional and efficient relationship throughout the
development of the special development district.
Our Analvsis:
The projecr is proposed to be eleveloped in one phase. Building pez-mits for the
interior and exterior renovations will be pursued. A condominium plat will be
