Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Allison Kent, Mauriello Planning Group, stated she was available for questions.
Commissioner Pierce asked for clarification of the housing banking request by the applicant.
Dominic Mauriello, Mauriello Planning Group, described the desire of the applicant to be able
to sell the remaining 250 plus square feet that they would exceed in their requirement to
another individual in the future whom might have a mitigation requirement.
Commissioner Pierce stressed concern about banking fractions of units for use by other
properties.
Dominic Mauriello commented that the fractions when added up in a "bank" would be
beneficial in the future.
Commissioners Kjesbo stated that the remaining fraction could be eliminated if the applicant
chooses the pay-in-lieu option for to make up for a small portion of the requirement and
therefore not be needed to be held in a "bank".
Warren Campbell explained that the pay-in-lieu option has been utilized exclusively to this
point when a project has been assessed for mitigation that is not a complete unit.
Commissioner Viele stated that the applicant's should have the ability to sell the remainder of
the provided deed restricted housing if they can find a market for it.
Commissioner Paladino stated that the cost incurred by the Town to administer a "bank" for
unused fractions of deed restricted housing units being sold to other projects was not
justified. She believed the fraction should remain in a "bank" for that specific property.
Nina Timm described that the Town recognizes the credit, however the Town is
recommending that the credit be directly applied to the subject property and not to another
property that may need credit.
Commissioner Veile commented that perhaps the credit would apply instead to offset other
development fees such as traffic impact fees, art in public places.
Commissioner Proper stated that the Town should not impose standards on the "bank"
credit. He posed the question; "Does the Town want apay-in-lieu" fee or 250 extra square
feet?"

Commissioner Kjesbo made a motion to adopt the findings and conditions included in the
staff memorandum which stated that the excess deed restricted square footage would apply
to the "bank" frot he Strata development.
45 Minutes
A request for a work session to discuss prescribed regulation amendments to Chapter 12-16,
Conditional Use Permits, to allow for the administrative review and approval of specific
conditional uses, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080103)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Tabled to June 23, 2008
MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Tjossem VOTE:6-0-0
Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Commissioner Peirce asked for clarification on the town's cost of reviewing conditional use
permit applications.
Commissioner Tjossem stated concern about allowing the elimination of dwelling units in the
Village as a permitted use, rather than continuing such a request as a conditional use. As
the Town moves forward, it may be more of a concern to lose units.
Commissioner Viele asked if this is reviewed by Town Council. Gibson answered yes, it
would need to go before Council as an ordinance.
Commissioner Kjesbo noted that the Staff reviews development applications as a group
during their weekly Planner's Staff meetings, so it will not be only one individual reviewing
conditional use permit applications.
Commissioner Pierce asked if Staff is proposing to lower the application fees for changes to
a conditional use permit. Gibson answered that Staff is not proposing any changes to
application fees.
