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?"

(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. 5 Minutes 6.
