Page 2 December 24, 2008 Solaris Property Owner, LLC c/o Peter Knobel 2211 North Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 and Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission and Adjacent Property Owners: Re: Report to the Planning and Environmental Commission of an administrative action approving a request for a minor amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for modifications to the approved building plans for Solaris increasing commercial floor area, located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080075) Applicant: Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: Warren Campbell Dear Mr. Knobel, PEC members, and adjacent property owners: On December 15, 2008, Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented bythe Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, submitted an application to the Town of Vail Community Development Department for a minor amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads. The purpose of this minor amendment is to allow for an increase in the amount of commercial square footage on the at-grade level of the structure in the southwest portion of the site. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented bythe Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, has requested a minor amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, to allow for modifications to the approved building plans for Solaris increasing commercial floor area, located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive. The purpose ofthe proposed amendment is to increase the commercial square footage adjacent to the east-west breezeway connection from the Solaris plaza to Vail Village Inn resulting in a narrowing of the approved breezeway. As construction has progressed this space has been identified as largerthan comfortable to achieve a human scale and a missed opportunityto create a more functional retail space while maintaining the breezeway connection. The proposed increase to the overall square footage ofthe Solaris project is a net increase in 345 square feet. The area proposed for commercial square footage increase is shown in red on the plan identified as the "Proposed Plaza Level dated December 18, 2008. The proposed commercial space increase results in the breezeway being narrowed from approximately 13 feet 9 inches at its greatest width to approximately 10 feet at its greatest point and 7 feet at its narrowest point. This proposed width is comparable to the breezeway tunnel constructed at the Sonnenalp Hotel on the wing of the structure running east-west. Per the proposed plan, there is no net change in the total number of condominiums, change in the amount of allowable gross residential floor area, and no changes to the overall mixed-use concept ofthe project. There will be subsequent Design Review applications and approvals required to affect the request found in this proposal. Attached to this letter is a letter from the applicant dated December 15, 2008, describing the changes in greater detail and copies of the proposed plan (dated December 18, 2008) approved by Staff in conjunction with this Minor Amendment. A"minor amendment" is defined as: "Modifications to building plans, site or landscape plans that do not alter the basic intent and character of the approved special development district, and are consistent with the design criteria of this Chapter. Minor amendments may include, but not be limited to, variations of not more than five feet (5') to approved setbacks and/or building footprints; changes to landscape or site plans that do not adversely impact pedestrian or vehicular circulation throughout the special development district; or changes to gross floor area (excluding residential uses) of not more than five percent (5%) of the approved square footage of retail, office, common areas and other nonresidential floor area, except as provided under Sections 12-15-4 (Interior Conversions) or 12-15-5 (250 Additional GRFA) of this Title. II. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Section 12-9A-2: Minor Amendment (staff review�: modifications to building plans that do not alter the basic intent and character of the approved special development district and are consistent with the design criteria of this Chapter. Staff finds that approval of this minor amendment request to add an additional 345 square feet of commercial does not alter the basic intent and character of Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads. As stated above, there is no change in the total number of condominiums (77), no change in the amount of allowable gross residential floor area (198,859 sq. ft.), and all exterior changes associated with this proposal shall receive Design Review Board review and approval and subsequent Building Permit review and approval for compliance with all standards and requirements. The proposed change does affect the required parking for the development. Required parking for the development will increase by one parking space.

Ol/08/2009 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 12, 2009 SUBJECT: A request for a work session for a review of a preliminary plan for a major subdivision, pursuant to Chapter 13-3, Major Subdivision, Vail Town Code, to allow for the creation of two lots for the redevelopment of the properties known as "Ever Vail" (West Lionshead), located at 862, 923, 934, 953, and 1031 South Frontage Road West, and the South Frontage Road West right-of-way/Unplatted (a complete legal description is available for inspection at the Town of Vail Community Development Department), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080062) Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: Warren Campbell I. SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, is requesting a work session with the Planning and Environmental Commission to discuss several question and comments raised at the December 8 and 22, 2008, Planning and Environmental Commission public hearings. Furthermore, the applicant and Staff will continue the discussion focusing on several aspects of the South Frontage Road realignment in conjunction with the proposed Ever Vail. This work session is the continuance in what is anticipated to be a series of work sessions regarding various aspects and topics with regard to the Ever Vail project. The Ever Vail project is the proposed creation of a new portal to Vail Mountain on approximately 12 acres. Developments of this extent warrant a complete understanding of many interconnected aspects. Staff and the applicant hope that through a series of work sessions that a greater understanding of the project and its impacts, both positive and negative will be ascertained, thus aiding in the review of the various applications and their associated criteria and findings. As this is a work session and the Planning and Environmental Commission is not being asked to reach any conclusions, Staff has not provided any recommendations at this time. Staff and the applicant request that the Planning and Environmental Commission participates in the presentation and tables this application to the January 26, 2009. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, has submitted five development review applications which will be reviewed and acted upon by the Planning and Environmental Commission prior to the conclusion of the review process. For this work session Staff and the applicant have concluded that the presentation will begin to answer questions raised at the December 8 and 22, 2008, hearings and then continue with the focus on the South Frontage Road realignment design and function. The design and function of the South Frontage Road is a key element in setting the course for future review of the various Ever Vail applications. Determination of these requirements, needs, and desires will drive the layout, design, and function of a project such as Ever Vail. The work session will include: A presentation by the Ever Vail Team addressing several of the questions and comments from the previous hearing and providing greater detail on the South Frontage Road realignment. The presentation will include a computer model that is animated to show the design of the prposed Frontage Road realignment. A presentation by Town Staff, regarding topics, questions, and concerns of the raised by the Commission regarding the South Frontage Road realignment. In response to the comments by the Commission on December 22, 2008, the Town Engineer has prepared several exhibits depicting changes which could be made to eliminate a large percentage of the retaining walls and reduce the height of the remaining walls. Furthermore, the Town Engineer has prepared several exhibits which examine different configurations of the Simba Run underpass. These exhibits will be used to aid a conversation about the impacts to the Frontage Road design under various scenarios. Staff created a list of topics, questions, and concerns to aid in the review of the South Frontage Road realignment for the December 22, 2008, hearing. These topics are provided again to aid in discussing the proposal and include the following: • Snow storage area provisions adjacent to lanes. • Landscape buffer and the retaining wall. • Landscaping in the median. • Roundabout R.O.W. provisions for future possible expansion. • Retaining wall design including height, finish, and batter. • R.O.W. width - 77 feet R.O.W. plus 16 feet easement (93 feet). • R.O.W. verse Easements. • Landscape buffer between buildings and the south side of the Frontage Road. • Bike Lane and Bike Paths. • Bridge verse culvert over Red Sandstone Creek. • Impact to trees south of the Frontage Road realignment in Red Sandstone Creek. • Compliance with Council adopted minimal Level of Service (L.O.S.) C/D. • Simba Run extent of construction during the realignment. • Scope of work. • Relationship to Cascade and Lionshead connection. • Landscaping at roundabout. • Sidewalk width 6'-10' and its impacts to softscape. • Access points including location, spacing, traffic generation operation • Future I-70 widening and impacts to the proposed retaining wall on the north side of the relocated Frontage Road III. BACKGROUND On February 6, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution No. 4, Series of 2007, which implemented the changes to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan regarding West Lionshead and the area now called Ever Vail. On October 27, 2008, Staff presented and over view of the roles and responsibilities to the Planning and Environmental Commission with regard to the Ever Vail development. On November 24, 2008, Staff presented an overview of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to the Planning and Environmental Commission and its applicability to the Ever Vail project. On December 8, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing at which a presentation and discussion occurred on the topics of vehicular, mass transit, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation occurred. A list of question and comments was generated as a part of this discussion. On December 22, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing at which the presentation and discussion focused on the proposed design for the Frontage Road realignment. Discussion included the Simba Run underpass, retaining walls, median planter design, etc. On January 7, 2009, the Design Review Board held a public hearing at which the presentation and discussion focused on the proposed design for the Frontage Road realignment. Discussion focused on the retaining walls, bridge verse culvert crossing of the creek, and roadway design. The comments resulted in the majority of the Board agreeing that the retaining walls should be as low as possible, however, through the use of a textured stone and a detail like pilasters that the walls could likely be mitigated. The Board agreed that unless there was a large greenspace between the road and the walls that the effects of snow plowing would negatively affect any landscaping beyond grass in these areas. The Board thought the use of a culvert bridge to cross the creek was a good proposal so long as a stone with texture and a detail like pilasters was incorporated. The Board was split on the need for a 10-foot bike lane on the north side of the proposed road and whether or not some portion should be incorporated into a greenspace between the roads and the walls. A concern about the long term costs of incorporating a raised planter as the median was raised with regard to plow damage. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department requests that the Planning and Environmental Commission listen to the presentation, ask questions, provide and pertinent feedback. The Commission is not being requested to take and final action at this work session. The applicant and Staff request that the Commission tables this application to its January 26, 2009, public hearing. .• ,��`NOFYAfI, • MEMBERS PRESENT Bill Pierce Michael Kurz Sarah Paladino Scott Proper David Viele Site Visits: None PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION December 22, 2008 12:30pm TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS / PUBLIC WELCOME 75 S. Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 MEMBERS ABSENT Rollie Kjesbo Susie Tjossem 1:OOpm 45 Minutes A request for a work session to discuss the establishment of a new special development district, pursuant to Article 12-9A, Special Development (SDD) District, Vail Town Code, located at 303 Gore Creek Drive, Units 7 through14 (Vail Rowhouses)/Lots 7 through 14, Block 5, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080074) Applicant: Christopher Galvin, represented by K.H. Webb Architects Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to January 12, 2009 MOTION: Viele SECOND: Kurz VOTE: 5-0-0 Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff inemorandum. Commissioner Pierce asked about the potential for demo/rebuilds. Bill Gibson responded that today, each lot is an individual development site. He said that because the units are all non-conforming, remodels must keep at least 50% of the existing structure intact in order to maintain their legal non-conforming status. This was a major issue because the units had major structural problems, but were still trying to keep 50% of the existing buildings. Kyle Webb, KH Webb Architects, represented the applicant. Kyle said that in the past, there have been major issues with construction of existing units on site. An overlay district such as an SDD will be helpful to remove the need for variances on the property. The site has unique setbacks and alignment, and this SDD will help alleviate issues with nonconformity. The residents just want to protect what they have, and do not want to be subject to reducing the number of units to comply with regulations. Commissioner Pierce asked about the elimination of GRFA for the project. He asked the applicant to prepare an analysis of the size of the units with GRFA limits and the potential size without GRFA limits. Bill Pierce also asked why the height was reduced. Webb said that 48 feet in height is more suitable to multifamily stacked units, but 45 feet in height is adequate for this project. The tallest unit is 45 feet today, and this would be the maximum for all units. Page 1 Commissioner Viele asked if all the residents are co-applicants. Webb responded that all residents are aware and agree with the proposal, but have not all signed the application yet. He indicated that their homeowner's association meeting will be held later this week, and they will collectively discuss the proposal further. Upon receiving all signatures, the application will go for final review. Viele commented that if you requesting an SDD rather than a variance, you are subjected to a legislative process which can be uncertain. Commissioner Paladino asked what prompted the application. Webb responded that an owner of two units would like to renovate, but it would be difficult to do so without variances and leaving more than 50% of the structure intact. He said the proposed SDD is a way to clean up some non-conformities permanently. Bill Gibson added that this is different than the typical SDD application. The goal is not to grant applicants more development potential, but to allow existing conditions to remain. Webb indicated that their intent is to set up the SDD standards to be very clear about the future of the properties. Commissioner Kurz asked how many units have gone through major renovations. Webb responded that two units of the seven have been recently renovated. Commissioner Pierce asked about the extent of the changes from existing zoning. Bill Gibson highlighted the comparisons in the memorandum. The applicant agreed to conduct an analysis of two units to show potential build-out scenarios. 45 Minutes 2. A request for final recommendations to the Vail Town Council, for the proposed adoption of the Chamonix Master Plan, to facilitate the development of Employee Housing and a Fire Station on the "Chamonix Parcel" and "Wendy's Parcel" and a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council to amend the Vail Land Use Plan, pursuant to Section 8-3, Amendment Process, Vail Land Use Plan to designate the Chamonix Master Plan area, located at 2399 North Frontage Road and 2310 Chamonix Road/Parcels A& B, re-subdivision of Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080058) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Nina Timm ACTION: Recommendation of approval with modifications MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Paladino VOTE: 4-1-0 (Proper against) CONDITION(S): 1. The financial feasibility study shall be deleted from the master plan document. Nina Timm made a presentation per the Staff inemorandum. Commissioner Kurz noted that the use of employee housing mitigation fees may be appropriate for this project. The proposed design would create a community feel, but the close proximity to emergency vehicles may not be appropriate for families. He stated a concern that there may be a disconnection between the desired outcomes and the actual costs. Commissioners Pierce and Viele asked for clarification about the process and what is specifically being requested of the Commission. George Ruther clarified the purpose of the application. Commissioner Paladino asked about the inclusion of a specific density in the plan. George Ruther explained how the proposed unit number recommendation was derived from advisory Page 2 board meetings. Commissioner Paladino then recommended a range of units, rather than a specific recommendation. Commissioner Kurz noted his concerns about the financial components included in the master plan. Commissioner Viele stated that discussing the economics of the project is not within the purview of the Commission, adding his discomfort in voting on this project if questions of finances are being asked. George Ruther stated that the financial information is only provided to conceptually validate the feasibility of constructing the project. Commissioner Viele recommended the Council determine whether or not the project is to be subsidized and then come forward with a development plan. Commissioner Pierce noted that while the financial information is good to have, it should not be included in the master plan document. Commissioner Proper asked for clarification about the targeted market. Commissioner Paladino asked for clarification of a"family". Nina Timm explained the qualifications of a "family". Commissioner Proper asked how the fire station revisions were determined. Nina Timm explained that the changes were based upon programmatic needs. Commissioner Pierce asked for a clarification of the next steps. George Ruther explained the next steps. Commissioner Kurz recommended separating out the master plan component and the economic analysis component. Commissioner Paladino agreed with Commissioner Kurz. Commissioner Viele expressed his general concern about the financial analysis. Commissioner Pierce stated he believes the plan answers many of the questions developers would ask in creating a proposal for development. 30 Minutes 3. A request for a work session to discuss prescribed regulation amendments, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to Section 12-61-8, Parking and Loading, and Chapter 12- 10, Off Street Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code, to amend parking requirements for employee housing units and to clarify the parking requirements in the Housing (H) zone district, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080067) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: George Ruther ACTION: Tabled to January 12, 2009 MOTION: Viele SECOND: Kurz VOTE: 5-0-0 60 Minutes 4. A request for a work session for a review of a preliminary plan for a major subdivision, pursuant to Chapter 13-3, Major Subdivision, Vail Town Code, to allow for the creation of two lots for the redevelopment of the properties known as "Ever Vail" (West Lionshead), located at 862, 923, 934, 953, and 1031 South Frontage Road West, and the South Frontage Road West right-of- way/Unplatted (a complete legal description is available for inspection at the Town of Vail Community Development Department), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080062) Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Page 3 Planner: Warren Campbell/George Ruther ACTION: Tabled to January 12, 2009 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Paladino VOTE: 5-0-0 George Ruther made a presentation per the Staff inemorandum and noted that transportation issues are the main focus of the work session. Members of the design team, led by Michael Brekka, made presentations on behalf of the applicant. Kent Kramer presented an overview of the proposed frontage road design. Gary Workling presented an overview of the frontage road landscaping design. Tom Miller discussed the proposed street retaining walls. Michael Brekka discussed the proposed project parking locations. Greg Hall, Director of Public Works, further elaborated on the frontage road design elements. Commissioner Kurz clarified that the frontage road will be excavated to a lower elevation than I- 70 and that interstate guardrails will be in place. Commissioner Viele confirmed that retaining walls are required with or without the Simba underpass. He asked if the walls are to facilitate the underpass or the development. Greg Hall stated that the majority of the retaining walls will facilitate the Ever Vail development. He then described the proposed culvert over Red Sandstone Creek, rather than the construction of a bridge. He also discussed bike lanes vs. bike paths, with the primary benefits of a path being year-round maintenance opportunities and the dual use as a sidewalk. Commissioner Pierce expressed concerns about the significant height and length of the proposed retaining walls. He asked if the development site could be filled. He noted that retaining walls generally show that something is being forced on the site. Tom Miller responded that grades are being driven by the Simba Run underpass. Commissioner Viele asked if the grades are set to Simba Run or Ever Vail. Michael Brecka clarified that both items and several other factors are affecting the proposed grades. Commissioner Pierce noted the disturbing view of a semi truck 20 feet above the frontage roads. Commissioner Kurz noted the need for visual relief from the interstate to the frontage road, and compared the proposal to Confluence Park in Denver. Commissioner Viele request civil drawings be provided for review. Gary Walking noted that the raising the frontage road closer to the interstate elevation causes the lower road to have taller walls and further separates the project from the creek. Commissioner Pierce stated that a better relationship is needed to celebrate the creek, and a culvert does not achieve that goal. Commissioner Viele would like to see the full plan including Simba Run, and a full plan without the Simba Run underpass. If the underpass drives the height, he recommended looking at alternatives such as an overpass. Page 4 Commissioner Pierce asked about types of vegetation that could be planted in the road medians. He re-iterated that the new frontage road will feel as if it is in a hole or canyon. He also recommended discussing interstate noise mitigation at a future date. Commissioner Viele stated that there appears to be a huge strip of asphalt through the center of town that appears to be excessive. The goal should be to reduce the retaining wall as much as possible, even at the loss of a bike lane. Commissioner Proper asked about the interface with the ERWSD plant. He agreed with reducing the retaining wall heights. Commissioner Kurz agreed with Viele and Proper's comments. He said there needs to be a better environmental transition and antecedent. He believes there should be an improved connection to the Cascade Village to encourage economic vitality and rejuvenation in that area. Tom Miller indicated that they will return with a variety of road and retaining wall design studies. Commissioner Pierce requested a study showing what type of plant materials can be planted in which locations in and along the new road. Commissioner Paladino requested a more visible bike path plan. 5 Minutes 5.
