MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: July 12, 2010
SUBJECT: A request for a work session on prescribed regulation amendments to Chapter
12 -6, Residential Districts, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7,
Amendment, Vail Town Code, to establish a new zone district, Townhouse and
Row House District (TRH) District, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
(PEC100011)
Applicant: Chris Galvin, represented by Mauriello Planning Group
Planner: Bill Gibson
SUMMARY
The applicant, Chris Galvin, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting
a work session to discuss amendments to Chapter 12 -6, Residential Districts, Vail Town
Code, to establish a new Vail Village Townhouse (WT) District.
While there is currently no application to apply this proposed zone district to any specific
property, the applicant believes that in the future, this new zone district could be applied
to the existing Vail Row Houses, Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East, and the Vail Trails
townhouse developments. Each of these properties is currently zoned High Density
Multiple - Family (HDMF) District and share similar existing legally non - conforming zoning
issues.
At this time, the applicant is requesting a work session to discuss several development
standards associated with the proposed zone district, including permitted, conditional,
and accessory uses, lot area and site dimensions, setbacks, building height, site
coverage, landscaping, and parking.
The applicant's revised request dated July 6, 2010 has been attached for review
(Attachment A) and the Town's current High Density Multiple - Family (HDMF) District
zoning standards have been attached for reference (Attachment B).
As this is a request for a work session, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission provides comments and
direction to the applicant on the proposed text amendments and then tables this item to
its July 26, 2010 public hearing for further deliberation.
II. DISCUSSION ITEMS
Name of the Proposed New Zone District.
The applicant is proposing to change the name of the proposed new zone district from
the Townhouse and Row House (TRH) District to the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT)
District.
The purpose of changing the district name to "Vail Village" is to further clarify the intent
of this new zone district and to help limit the scope of its future application to the
discussed Vail Row Houses, Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East, and the Vail Trails
properties. By its name, this district is not intended to be applied to townhouse
developments in other Vail neighborhoods. Staff recommends this intent be further
clarified in the proposed Section 12 -6J -1, Purpose.
Permitted. Conditional. and Accessory Uses
The applicant is proposing that many of the land uses allowed in the HDMF District also
be allowed in the new townhouse district. The applicant is not proposing to allow lodges,
dog kennels, funiculars, private clubs, public parking, religious institutions, or ski lifts in
this new townhouse district. Staff generally supports the applicant's approach of
allowing similar uses in the new townhouse district as are allowed in the HDMF District.
Does the Commission believe other uses should be included or excluded from the
proposed new zone district?
Lot Area and Site Dimensions
The proposed minimum lot size requirements of the new townhouse district distinguish
between those townhouse units considered to be part of a larger, collective development
site and those townhouse units considered individual lots /development sites. The
applicant has proposed a minimum area of 10,000 sq. ft. for lots containing multiple units
and 2,000 sq. ft. for those lots individually subdivided.
As currently proposed, the minimum lot size standards of the new townhouse district are
based upon site area rather than "buildable area" as in the HDMF District. "Buildable
area" is that portion of a lot not located in a floodplain, red avalanche hazard, or on
slopes greater than 40 %. Minor differences exist between site area and buildable area
for the Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East, and the Vail Trails due to the presence of the
Gore Creek floodplain on portions of those properties. Does the Commission believe
the density standards of a new townhouse zone district should be based upon
total lot area or "buildable area" consistent with the other multiple - family
residential zone districts in the Town of Vail?
Different from the HDMF District, the applicant is not proposing a minimum street
frontage standard for lots in the new townhouse district. Does the Commission believe
a new townhouse zone district should include a minimum street frontage
requirement?
Setbacks
The applicant is proposing to maintain the existing 20 foot setback requirements of the
HDMF District around the perimeter of townhouse developments, but eliminates any
setback requirements between individual townhouse units. Staff believes a zero setback
policy between units is necessary for the successful implementation of a townhouse
zone district.
The applicant is also proposing that the perimeter setbacks also be "as currently exists
as of the date the subject property is rezoned to this district ". Staff is concerned that
establishing an existing condition, occurring on a specific date, as the required setback
2
will complicate the development review process, create inequities between similarly
zoned properties, and not achieve the built environment desired by the Town's zoning
regulations and master plans.
Similar to certain zone districts, such as the Public Accommodation District, the applicant
is proposing to grant the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design
Review Board the authority to approve deviations to the setback standards based upon
a list of criteria, rather than only approving such deviations through the more stringent
variance application process outlined in Chapter 12 -17, Variances, Vail Town Code.
Does the Planning and Environmental Commission believe allowing deviations to
the setback standards without a variance is necessary for the successful
implementation of a new townhouse zone district?
Building Height
The applicant is proposing to continue the 45 foot flat roof and 48 foot sloping roof
building heights limits of the HDMF District in the new townhouse district. The applicant
is proposing that the initial eave height for units being "substantially redeveloped" should
be regulated by the Vail Village Master Plan. Staff agrees with the applicant's intent of
minimizing the perceived bulk and mass of townhouse structures from the street.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission supports this policy, Staff believes
the Vail Village Master Plan must be updated to quantify the appropriate eave heights for
those specific properties being discusses during the review of this text amendment
application.
Density Control
Similar to the HDMF District, the applicant is proposing that the density in the new
townhouse zone district not to exceed 25 dwelling units per acre. However, in the
HDMF District, the allowable density is based upon acres of "buildable area" rather than
total lot area. As discussed above, minor differences exist between the site area and
buildable area of the Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East, and the Vail Trails due to the
presence of 100 -year floodplain on portions of those properties. Does the Commission
believe the density standards of a new townhouse zone district should be based
upon total lot area or "buildable area" consistent with the other multiple - family
residential zone districts in the Town of Vail?
The applicant is also proposing the allowable density be "as currently exists as of the
date the subject property was rezoned to this district ". Again, Staff is concerned that
establishing an existing condition, occurring on a specific date, as the allowable density
standard will complicate the development review process, create inequities between
similarly zoned properties, and not achieve the built environment desired by the Town's
zoning regulations and master plans.
Gross Residential Floor Area
The Planning and Environmental Commission held a work session at its June 14, 2010,
public hearing to discuss gross residential floor area (GRFA) in the proposed townhouse
zone district. Based upon comments from the Commission at that hearing, the applicant
is proceeding with their request to allow 150 square feet. of GRFA for each 100 square
feet of total site area (1.5 GRFA ratio). Again, in the HDMF District, the allowable GRFA
is based upon the "buildable area" rather than total lot area. As discussed above, minor
differences exist between the site area and buildable area of the Texas Townhomes,
Vail Trails East, and the Vail Trails due to the presence of the 100 -year floodplain on
portions of those properties. Does the Commission believe the GRFA standards of a
new townhouse zone district should be based upon total lot area or "buildable
area" consistent with the other multiple - family residential zone districts in the
Town of Vail? Does the Commission believe the proposed 1.5 GRFA ratio is
appropriate in a new townhouse zone district?
The applicant is proposing to prohibit units in the townhouse zone district from utilizing
the "250 Ordinance" or the "Interior Conversion" additional GRFA provisions of the Vail
Town Code. Staff believes this policy will simplify the development review process and
eliminate the lost development rights associated with the demo /rebuild of an existing
townhouse unit that has previously constructed additions utilizing the 250 Ordinance or
Interior Conversion provisions. Staff believes this policy of excluding townhouse units
from utilizing the 250 Ordinance and the Interior Conversion provision, and instead
adjusting the allowable GRFA formulas to prevent a loss of development rights, creates
equity among property owners in the same zone district.
Site Coverage
Similar to the HDMF District, the applicant is proposing that site coverage not exceed
55% of the total site area. The HDMF District also regulates site coverage based upon
total site area and not buildable area.
The applicant is proposing that the allowable site coverage also be "as currently exists
as of the date the subject property was rezoned to this district ". Again, Staff is
concerned that establishing an existing condition, occurring on a specific date, as the
allowable site coverage will complicate the development review process, create
inequities between similarly zoned properties, and not achieve the built environment
desired by the Town's zoning regulations and master plans.
Landscaping
The applicant is proposing that a minimum of 20% of the total site area be landscaped in
the new townhouse district. This proposal is less restrictive than the 30% landscaping
standard of the HDMF District. The applicant is proposing 20% landscaping based upon
the existing conditions at the Vail Row Houses, Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East, and
the Vail Trails townhouse developments.
Similar to the Commercial Core 1 (CC1) District, the applicant is proposing a no net loss
of landscaping policy for those properties that will be legally non - conforming in regard to
the proposed 20% landscape area requirement.
Parking
Similar to most other zone districts in the Town of Vail, the proposed parking
requirements for the townhouse district are in accordance with Chapter 12 -10, Off Street
Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code.
The proposal deviates from the HDMF District because it does not include a requirement
prohibiting parking in the front setback and does not include a requirement that at least
75% of the parking be located within a building.
4
Contrary to the recommendations of the Vail Village Master Plan, the proposed
townhouse district also does not require parking to be enclosed as part of a
redevelopment project. Instead, the proposed townhouse district allows existing surface
parking located within the front setback and the street right -of -way to continue.
Does the Planning and Environmental Commission believe the existing surface
parking conditions at the Vail Row Houses, Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East,
and the Vail Trails townhouse developments are appropriate in a new townhouse
zone district; or does the Commission believe future parking should be enclosed
and not be located within a front setback or street right -of -way?
Vail Village Master Plan
Staff recommends that amendments to the Vail Village Master Plan be considered
concurrently with this application to establish a new zone district. Staff believes the Vail
Village Master Plan should be amended to include recommendations for which
properties should be included in a townhouse zone district. Staff also believes the
specific redevelopment recommendations of the Vail Village Master Plan should be
coordinated with any implementation of a new townhouse zone district.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
As this is a request for a work session, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission provides comments and
direction to the applicant on the proposed text amendments and then tables this item to
its July 26, 2010, public hearing for further deliberation.

I. Introduction to the Zoning Code Amendment
The intent of this text amendment to the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations is to correct a long standing problematic
application of High Density Multiple Family Zoning to townhouse projects within the Vail Village and correct an
equity issue created by the "250 Ordinance." The proposal will create a new townhouse zoning that can be applied to
townhouse properties in the Vail Village area, proposed as the "Vail Village Townhouse" District (VV'I) and outlined
in Section III of this submittal.
There are several townhouse projects within the Vail
Village area which were originally platted as townhouse
parcels under Eagle County jurisdiction before there was
zoning in Eagle County and before the Town was
incorporated in 1966. Zoning was not adopted in the
Town of Vail until 1969 (Ordinance No. 7, Series of
1969). These properties were then zoned High Density
Multiple Family (HDMF). Under the 1969 zoning code,
there was only a front setback requirement and no side
setback requirements, there was no building height
limitation and the GRFA limitation (then termed Floor
Area Ratio — FAR) was 1.5 to 1, meaning that 150 sq. ft.
of GRFA was allowed for each 100 sq. ft. of total land
area instead of the 0.76 to 1 ratio that exists today.
(a) Floor Area No minimum;
(b) Lot Area: No minimum;
(c) Setback: Front - 15 feet.
(2) Floor Area Ratio: The floor area ratio shall not
exceed 1. 50:1.
(3) Off - street Parking Off - street parking shall be
provided in accordance with requirements set forth in the Supplementary
regulations.
(4) Off - street Loading. Off - street loading shall be
provided in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Supplementary
regulations.
Now, 46 years later, the zoning on these properties is more
restrictive and does not appropriately recognize traditional townhouse development, which is described as a series of
attached homes with zero lot lines between the units. Unlike a condominium development, town houses traditionally
sit on fee simple parcels of land. Under current HDMF zoning, these types of lots are not in compliance with many
of the HDMF zoning provisions. In order to address both the fee - simple lot format and the condominium format of
town houses found in Vail Village, the proposed district will accommodate both ownership formats.
As a result, the applicant is proposing a new zone district, referred to as "Vail Village Townhouse" District (VV I).
The VVT zone district will allow for redevelopment of individual units within a townhouse or row house
configuration, without the need for numerous variances but with review by the Town of Vail to ensure compliance
with the regulations.
Examples of townhouse and row house development in Vail Village:
Nev Zone District.• Vail Village Townhouse District 2
Texas To-,nhomes
Vail Trails Chalets
II. Proposed Text Amendment
The purpose behind this proposal is to streamline the redevelopment process and avoid the need for multiple
variances for even the smallest of development projects. In addition, it is intended to recognize and restore the
historical development rights of townhouse projects while recognizing the importance of maintaining their existing
character. Under the new district, "250s" would be eliminated by allowing the GRFA at a level that creates equal
treatment of similar properties and allows individual town house units to demolished without the penalties inherent
with the application of the 250 Ordinance. HDMF was used as the basis for the new zone district, with changes to
allow for townhouse development. The following is the proposed new zone district, along with a description of why
the modifications are necessary to facilitate townhouse redevelopment:
ARTICLE J. VAIL VILLAGE TOWNHOUSE (VVT) DISTRICT

III. Review Criteria for a Text Amendment
The Town of Vail Zoning Regulations provide the criteria for review of a text amendment. For the purposes of this
application, each criterion will be addressed below:
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning
regulations; and
Our Anal
The Town of Vail Zoning Regulations, in Section 12 -1 -2: Purpose, describes the general purpose of the
regulations as follows:
12 -1 -2: PURPOSE:
A. General These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare

The proposed text amendment also furthers the purpose statements of the Vail Zoning Regulations. Each of
the purpose statements is clearly enhanced by the proposed amendment.
2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve the applicable
elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and
is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and
Our Analysis:
The goals contained in several of the Town's comprehensive, guiding documents are applicable during the
review process for the text amendment. The applicable plan sections below are identified as relevant to the
review of this proposal.
Vail Land Use Plan (in part)
1.0 General Growth /Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential
commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additionalgrowth in existing developed areas (infill areas).
4.0 Village Core / Lionshead
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved
thorough implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan.
4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (scale, a pine
character, small town feeling mountains, natural setting intimate side, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental
quality.)
5.0 Residential
5.1 Additional residentialgrowth should continue to occurprimarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate
in new areas where high ha .Zard do not exist.
5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives,
provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions.
5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range of housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing need
should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community.
Vail Village Master Plan (in part)
The Vail Row Houses is located within the "Vail Village Master Plan" land use category. The following stated goals
of the Vail Village Master Plan are applicable to this application:
Goal # 1: Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order
to sustain its sense of community and identity.
Objective 1.2: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities.
Objective 1.3: Enhance new development and redevelopment through public improvements done by private
developers working in cooperation with the Town.
Nev Zone District.• Vail Village Townhouse District
Policy 1.3.1: Public improvements shall be developed with the working participation of the private sector working
with the Town.
Goal #3: To recogni .Ze as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village
EAST GORE CREEK SUBAREA ( #6)
6 ■._ �1
. f
N. a I
+, u

,6 r P
T F.
IEEE(
A number of the earliest projects developed in Vail are located in the East Gore Creek Sub Area. Development in
this area is exclusively multi family condominium projects with a very limited amount of support commercial. Surface
parking is found at each site, which creates a very dominant visual impression of the sub -area.
Wlhile the level of development in East Gore Creek ' generally greater than that allowed under existing honing, this
area has the potential to absorb density without compromising the character of the Village. This development could be
accommodated by partial infill of existing parking areas balanced by greens
ace additions or through increasing the
height of existing buildings (generally one story over existing heights). In order to maintain the architectural continuity
of projects, additional density should be considered only in conjunction with the comprehensive redevelopment of
projects.
Clearly, one of the main objectives to consider in the redevelopment of any property should be to improve existing
parking facilities. This includes satisfying parking demands for existing and additional development; as well as design
considerations relative to redevelopment proposals. The opportunity to introduce below grade structured parking will
greatly improve pedestrianisation and landscape features in this area. This should be considered a goal of any
redevelopment proposal in this sub -area. Development or redevelopment of this sub -area will attract additional traffic
and population into this area and may have signcant impacts upon portions of Sub Areas 7 and 10. "
3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed
since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate
or is inapplicable; and
Our Analysis:
In 1969, when the Town of Vail zoned many of these townhouse and row house projects HDMF, they
generally complied with zoning. There was no minimum lot size, there was only a front setback of 15 ft. and
the floor area ratio was 1.5:1. (see below)
Nev Zone District.• Vail Village Townhouse District 7
(a) Floor Area No minimum;
(b) Lot Area: No minimum;
(c) Setback: Front - 15 feet.
(2) Floor Area Ratio: The floor area ratio shall not
exceed 1. 50:1.
(3) Off - street Parking Off - street parking shall. be
provided in accordance with requirements set forth in the Supplementary
regulations.
(4) Off - street Loading. Off - street loading shall be
provided in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Supplementary
regulations.
However, since that time, amendment to the HDMF zone district have rendered these properties
nonconforming with regards to almost every development standard of the district, including but not limited
to:
• Density
• Lot Size
• Street Frontage
• Setbacks
• Landscape Area
• Parking
• Parking Location (front setback and right -of -way)
These amendments have made redevelopment of individual units reliant on the variance process, rather than
providing a clear road map for redevelopment. As a result, HDMF is no longer appropriate for these
properties.
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship
among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and
Our Analysis:
The new WT zone district maintains the uses that are permitted, conditional, and accessory uses within the
HDMF zone district. Many uses have been eliminated from this zone district that are not applicable, but
none have been added, ensuring that this text amendment is a harmonious, convenient, and workable
relationship among land use regulations. The new zone district will eliminate the inequities created by the the
HDMF district as applicable to townhouse development and the inequities created by the 250 Ordinance.
5. Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and /or council deem
applicable to the proposed text amendment.
Our Anal
Not applicable.

1. A request for the review of a variance from Section 11- 6 -3 -A, Business Identification Signs, Vail
Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 11 -10, Variances and Appeals, Vail Town Code, to allow for
business identification signs larger than 6 sq. ft. in area, located at 141 East Meadow Drive
(Solaris) /Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
(PEC100029)
Applicant: Peter Knobel, represented by Mauriello Planning Group
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Denied
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Scheidman VOTE: 4 -1 -0 ( Viele opposed)
Warren Campbell presented an overview of the Staff memorandum. He introduced to the record
an email from Jack Ryan, a property owner in Vail, stating his support for the application.
Dominic Mauriello, Mauriello Planning Group, the applicant's representative, presented a
summary of the application and discussed their responses to the criteria for the variance request.
He noted that they would be amenable to reducing the area of the lettering /text of the signs if the
signs were allowed to be a total of 12 sq.ft. sign area.
Commissioner Kurz asked if the signs would be back -lit. He noted that the sign code was
recently revised to address the movie theater and bowling alley, and that the Staff memorandum
had good logic to not support this request.
Commissioner Schneidman agreed with Commissioner Kurz's comments. He noted that every
building is a special circumstance which did not equate always to a unique circumstance and
that the pedestrian access is not different than other projects. The Village is pedestrian in nature
and a sign variance was not warranted.
Commissioner Pratt noted that the 6 square foot sign was very visible during the site visit and
that the 12 square foot sign appeared too large. He noted that pedestrians will be walking
through the project and not just viewing it from a distance. He supports the creativity facilitated
by not calculating brackets against sign size.
Commissioner Cartin agreed with Commissioner Pratt's comments about sign brackets. He
noted that the plaza draws pedestrians to the building and the 6 square foot sign is visible and
appropriate.

Page 1
Commissioner Viele supported the applicant's request and felt that 6 square feet is too small.
There was no public comment.
Dominic Mauriello suggested that they would accept 6 square foot signs if a decorative bracket
did not count as signage.
Warren Campbell noted that Staff and the applicant have disagreed on what constitutes a
"bracket" versus a "graphic" for calculating sign area.
Commissioner Kurz recommended that the Design Review Board review specific proposed
brackets to determine if it is signage or simply a supporting structure.
Dominic Mauriello disagreed with Staff's interpretation of what is a bracket and what is a graphic.
Commissioner Schneidman noted that the applicant stated that the design of the building doesn't
facilitate awnings, which is a self created issue.
Peter Nobel stated that he will install awnings at every space on the building and attribute it to
Commissioner Schneidman. He then questioned what Commissioner Schneidman does for a
living.
Commissioner Schneidman stated that Mr. Nobel was misquoting his comments. He did not
believe awnings should be installed on Solaris, instead he noted that the applicant's choices in
building design were a self created hardship in terms of awnings.
Commissioner Kurz voiced his disagreement with the applicant's threats to alter the architectural
integrity of the building by installing numerous awnings. He noted concern about the tone of the
applicant's comments.
Dominic Mauriello stated that the Commission did not appear to support this variance request, so
asked that as part of any motion the Commission give direction to the Design Review Board
concerning the difference between sign brackets and sign graphics.

2. A request for the review of a variance from Section 11- 6 -3 -A, Business Identification Signs, Vail
Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 11 -10, Variances and Appeals, Vail Town Code, to allow for a
freestanding business identification sign, located at 4695 Meadow Drive (Vail Racquet Club
Clubhouse) /Unplatted, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100030)
Applicant: Alpine Tavern Inc., represented by Bill Stewart
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Approved with condition(s)
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Pratt VOTE: 5 -0 -0
CONDITIONS:
1. This sign variance approval allows the Alpine Tavern to erect a 9 square foot
freestanding business identification sign in the landscape planter located between the
Vail Racquet Club clubhouse parking lot and Meadow Drive.
2. This sign variance approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail
design review approval for this proposal.
Bill Gibson presented an overview of the Staff memorandum.
Page 2
Bill Stewart, Alpine Tavern, gave a presentation on why he believed a sign variance should be
granted. He is requesting to install a sign the same size and in the same location as the
previous restaurant. He does not wish to disrupt the architectural character of the Racquet Club
by removing trees or removing the entry archway to gain better visibility for the restaurant. He
believes the variance request is in harmony with the overall design of the Racquet Club and that
the request furthers the goals of the sign code.
There was no public comment.
Commissioner Cartin noted his support for the request based upon the unique characteristics of
the property and location of the business.
Commissioner Pratt stated that this situation is unique as the neighborhood is vehicular oriented
and that this request differs from the Solaris request.
Commissioner Schneidman stated that this request addressed different circumstances than the
Solaris request and he noted his support for this variance.
Commissioner Kurz agreed with the other Commissioner's comments and welcomed Mr. Stewart
to the East Vail neighborhood.
Commissioner Viele had no comment

ACTION: Tabled to July 12, 2010
MOTION: Pratt SECOND: Schneidman VOTE: 3 -0 -2 ( Cartin and Viele recused)
Warren Campbell gave an introduction to the topics to be discussed and the goals for the day
Steve Harmon and Dominic Mauriello gave a presentation per a power point depicting before
and after comments from previous hearings.
Commissioner Pratt expressed several thoughts regarding the improvements created by the
removal of the above grade connecting bridges, the pedestrian crosswalk. He suggested maybe
placing commercial in the at -grade spaces along Forrest Road across from the Ritz - Carlton. He
suggested placing a piece of art at the intersection of Market Street and the street connection to
Forrest Road which would draw pedestrians into Ever Vail from the corner at the Ritz - Carlton.
He felt the removal of the above grade connecting bridges helped with address the
recommendation for north -south orientation of structure. He suggested providing space in the
pedestrian areas in front of retail to allow for exterior display of merchandise and rental
materials. The breaks in the structures adjacent to the Gore Creek on the west side of Red
Page 3
Sandstone Creek should be viewed as opportunities to bring light into the west side of the
project.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners, asked if the digital model presentation could be made available
in the Community Development office for people to navigate through and develop comments.
He further added that the connecting bridges along the frontage road may be appropriate to help
block sound waves into Ever Vail. An acoustic study should be completed to see if the
connecting bridges would have any benefits. He supported Jeff Winston's comment regarding
more variation in the roof heights.
