PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION October 11, 2010 1:00pm TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS / PUBLIC WELCOME 75 S. Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 Page 1 John Martin, representative of the applicant, made a brief presentation Michael Suman, representing the Solaris Property Owners, outlined the concern of his client, specifically noting that more studies should be done to reduce potential negative effects of the cooking exhaust. He asked that the application be called -up and discussed at a later date to allow for further studies and discussions with the applicant. John Martin responded that the applicant has studied this restaurant and all of the options for exhausting the cooking appliances. The only three locations where chimneys and exhaust venting could occur is where they are being proposed today. He stated that a scrubber, as suggested by the applicant, would be the size of a small truck, and without taking up restaurant space, the scrubber would have to be located outside of the building. He further stated that there may not be any exterior location for the scrubber. He stated that a better filtration system could be utilized to eliminate smoke and ash from the cooking exhaust vents. Rick Woo, the owner of the proposed restaurant, stated that they are here today to expand the chimney chaise for expanded access for maintenance and fire department access. He said that the mixed use aspect of the neighborhood should allow for restaurants to be near residential. He said the north side exhaust fan is 120 feet from Solaris. The south side exhaust fan is 110 feet from Solaris. The only concern is the east exhaust, which is 40 feet from the Solaris building. There is a big line of trees between Solaris and the east exhaust fan that will create a barrier between the two properties. He said the wind primarily blows through the alley between Solaris and Village Inn Plaza and would blow the smoke towards Meadow Drive. He added that the Japanese kitchens are very clean, and most of the prep work and cooking will occur at the front of the house. There will be very limited deep frying and will decrease the amount of use of the venting on the east side of the building. Jonathan Staufer, owner of the commercial space and manager for the building, stated that Rick Woo wants to be a good neighbor. He said that they can get together with Solaris to create a good working relationship to problem solve any issues that arise. Michael Suman stated that the Solaris is in favor of additional site coverage for a scrubber to treat the exhaust venting if that were necessary.. Commissioner Rediker asked why the issue of negative exhaust impacts came up now and not with the previous minor amendment. Rachel Friede explained that the concern was raised by the Solaris development only in conjunction with this notification. Commissioner Pratt stated that from a zoning perspective, there is no issue. However, from a neighbor issue, there are some potential problems. The Commissioners confirmed staff's administrative approval confirming that the criteria had been met and did not call up the action for discussion. 75 minutes 3. A request for the review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12 -9C -3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, for a public building and grounds, to allow for the construction of a new structure to replace the Lionshead Parking Structure Auxiliary Building to provide guest related facilities, located at 395 South Frontage Road West /Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead First Filing, Page 2 Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Tom Braun Planner: Warren Campbell ACTION: Tabled to October 25, 2010 MOTION: Viele SECOND: Pratt VOTE: 6 -0 -0 Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, reiterated the process thus far. Commissioner Pratt inquired as to the Town's thinking on the life span of the Lionshead parking structure. Tom Kassmel explained that the most recent studies state that the parking structure is about half way through its life span with and additional 30 years remaining so long as maintenance and certain improvements are performed. Such as ADA improvements and the addition of fire sprinklers. Lou Bieker of 4240, consulting architect, made a presentation on the process thus far and the program and function of the proposed structure. Tom Braun, of Braun and Associates, planning consultant, gave a presentation on the provisions of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the conditional use permit criteria that will be used to evaluate the proposal. Commissioner Viele inquired as to the construction duration. Tom Kassmel, stated that there was an aggressive schedule of seven months to be out of public spaces and working on the interior. Commissioner Cartin inquired as to whether or not this facility will be replace the information booth up on the Frontage Road. Tom Kassmel explained that there has been a great deal of discussion about that topic and the general consensus was that if the new design was done taking that into consideration that it was likely that the information both on the Frontage Road could be eliminated. Commissioner Cartin stated that he was concerned about the height of the tower and will be reviewing that closely in conjunction with a final action. Commissioner Pratt inquired as to the hours of operation of the waiting room as the ADA access went through that space and may be required to be open unless there are other options. He was not as concerned with the parking needs not being addressed per the Code with this proposal as there is a significant number of spaces adjacent to the structure. He agreed that housing would be better suited to the east of this structure. While the architecture is not in his realm he does feel it is out of character with the Master Plan. He highlight the roof snow shedding on to pedestrian areas. Suggested an outdoor fire pit as in the winter on a sunny day people like to wait outside. He suggested that maybe more bathrooms may be appropriate and that roofing of the entirety of the outdoor patio space on the top floor. He believes this is a great facility for an activities desk, but doesn't believe moving the information would be wise, as drawing first time visitors down to this corner is asking a lot. Page 3 Commissioner Pierce agrees with Commissioner's Pratt comments about the information center. Visibility and ease of access is important. He further asked about the frequency of buses as with a seven minute peak time frequency was that much waiting room area necessary. He suggested the kids programs should maybe be located on the top floor to give greater use of the space. He felt there was too much south glass to display art in the space. He too expressed concern about the architecture with regard to views. Commissioner Schneidman raised concerns about guests in ski boots circulating through the building. Additionally he expressed concern over the tower height. Commissioner Pratt inquired as to the Town's thoughts on the use of escalators as they are a great guest amenity especially when in ski boots.. Tom Kassmel stated that escalators were contemplated early on, but were removed due to initial cost and ongoing maintenance. 4. Approval of September 27, 2010 minutes MOTION: Viele SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6 -0 -0 5.

Subsequent tot eh Town Attorney providing testimony at the Commission's hearing on the issue the Attorney discovered additional information potentially changing his original findings resulting in the need to proceed through the subdivision process. Warren Campbell concluded by stating that he would keep the Commission apprised of the outcome. 6.
