MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: February 28, 2011
SUBJECT: A request for the review of a variance from Section 12-6H-6, Setbacks, Vail Town
Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for an
addition within the setback, located at 400 East Meadow Drive, Unit 7 (Tyrolean
Inn)/Part of Tract B, Block 5, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC110011)
Applicant: Black Stallion Holdings, represented by Pierce Architects
Planner: Bill Gibson
SUMMARY
The applicant, Black Stallion Holdings, represented by Pierce Architects, is requesting a
setback variance to allow for an addition into the side setback area at Tyrolean Inn, Unit
7. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum
and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends approval, with conditions, of this application, subject to the findings
noted in Section VIII of this memorandum. A vicinity map (Attachment A), photographs
(Attachment B), the applicants' request (Attachment C), and proposed architectural
plans (Attachment D) are attached for review.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Black Stallion Holdings, represented by Pierce Architects, are requesting
a variance to facilitate the construction of an addition to infill a portion of the existing
balconies 7 feet into the 20 foot setback area on Unit 7, Tyrolean Condominiums.
The existing Tyrolean Condominiums are legally non-conforming in regard to the density
(GRFA) and setback standards of the High Density Multiple-Family District. Since the
Tyrolean Condominiums are legally non-conforming in terms of density, the applicants
are utilizing the "250 Ordinance" additional GRFA (gross residential floor area) provision
of the Vail Town Code to facilitate this addition.
The subject property, Unit 7, is located on the upper levels of the Tyrolean Condominium
building with exterior walls on the west, south, and east elevations. The applicant is
proposing two additions that will infill portions of the existing Unit 7 balconies. The
southern addition adds 87 sq.ft. of floor area to the existing master bedroom bath and
closet by infilling portions of the existing south balcony. This addition also includes the
construction of a new south facing dormer associated with an "interior conversion" of
existing vaulted space. The southern proposed addition complies with the High Density
Multiple-Family District side setback requirements and does not require a setback
variance.
1
The proposed Unit 7 east addition adds 95 sq.ft. to the existing main level kitchen and
living room and adds 68 sq.ft. to the loft directly above. This addition will infill a portion
of the existing balcony on the east elevation of Unit 7. The existing Unit 7 already
encroaches approximately two feet into the 20 foot High Density Multiple-Family District
rear setback area. The proposed main floor kitchen and living room addition and loft
addition above will reduce the Unit 7 rear setback from 18 feet to 13 feet. This proposed
addition to Unit 7 encroaches less into the rear setback area than the existing garage
level below. The partially below-grade garage level of the Tyrolean Condominiums is
located within two feet of the eastern property boundary.
Since both proposed additions are located above existing lower levels of the Tyrolean
Condominium building, there is no change to the existing site coverage or landscape
area calculations associated with this proposal.
III. BACKGROUND
The subject property was part of the Original Town of Vail that was established in 1966.
In 1968, the Blue Cow Restaurant was constructed on the southern portion of the
subject property.
In 1980, the Tyrolean Condominiums were constructed (within the south and east
setbacks) and attached to the existing "Blue Cow" restaurant structure.
On May 10, 2004 a variance was granted to allow the floor area of the former restaurant
to be converted into gross residential floor area (GRFA).
On July 26, 2004 a setback variance was granted to allow for exterior alterations to Unit
9.
On May 9, 2005 a setback variance was granted for a balcony infill 250 addition to Unit
6.
On May 9, 2005 design review approval was granted for "interior conversion" additions
to the subject Unit 7.
On January 2, 2007 setback variances were granted for balcony infill 250 additions to
Units 3, 5, and 8.

Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code (in part)
ARTICLE 12-6H: HIGH DENSITY MULTIPLE FAMILY DISTRICT (in part)
12-6H-1: Purpose: The high density multiple-family district is intended to provide
sites for multiple-family dwellings at densities to a maximum of twenty five (25)
dwelling units per acre, together with such public and semipublic facilities and
lodges, private recreation facilities and related visitor oriented uses as may
appropriately be located in the same zone district. The high density multiple-
family district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other
amenities commensurate with high density apartment, condominium and lodge
uses, and to maintain the desirable residential and resort qualities of the zone
district by establishing appropriate site development standards. Certain
nonresidential uses are permitted as conditional uses, which relate to the nature
of Vail as a winter and summer recreation and vacation community and, where

CHAPTER 12-15: GROSS RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA (in part)
12-15-5:Additional Gross Residential Floor Area (250 ordinance):
A. Purpose: The purpose of this section is to provide an inducement for the
upgrading of existing dwelling units which have been in existence within the town
for a period of at least five (5) years by permitting the addition of up to two
hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross residential floor area (GRFA) to such
dwelling units, provided the criteria set forth in this section are met. This section
does not assure each single-family or two-family dwelling unit located within the
town an additional two hundred fifty (250) square feet, and proposals for any
additions hereunder shall be reviewed closely with respect to site planning,
impact on adjacent properties, and applicable town development standards. The
two hundred fifty (250) square feet of additional gross residential floor area may
be granted to existing single-family dwellings, existing two-family and existing
multi-family dwelling units only once, but may be requested and granted in more
than one increment of less than two hundred fifty (250) square feet. Upgrading of
an existing dwelling unit under this section shall include additions thereto or
renovations thereof, but a demo/rebuild shall not be included as being eligible for
additional gross residential floor area.
CHAPTER 12-17: VARIANCES (in part)
12-17-1: Purpose: A. Reasons for Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to
lessen such practical difficulties and unnecessary physical hardships inconsistent
with the objectives of this title as would result from strict or literal interpretation
and enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practical
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the size, shape, or
dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures thereon; from
topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or from
other physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity.
Cost or inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a
regulation shall not be a reason for granting a variance.

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria for a variance request are prescribed in Chapter 12-17, Variances,
Vail Town Code.
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses
and structures in the vicinity.
The eastern portion of Unit 7 currently encroaches approximately two feet into the 20
foot High Density Multiple-Family District rear setback area. The proposed main floor
kitchen and living room addition and loft addition above will reduce the Unit 7 rear
setback from 18 feet to 13 feet. However, this proposed addition to Unit 7 encroaches
less into the rear setback than the existing garage level below. The garage level of the
Tyrolean Condominiums is located within two feet of the eastern property boundary.
The existing Tyrolean Condominium building has painted stucco walls with solid wood
siding balcony railings and solid wood siding "screen" or "mask" walls which create the
perception of building bulk and mass. The proposed eastern deck infill addition to Unit 7
5
will be no closer to the eastern property boundary than the existing solid rail balcony and
"screen" or "mask" walls eastern balcony which are already perceived as bulk and mass.
In 2005, the adjacent Unit 6 of the Tyrolean Condominiums was granted a setback
variance to construct a similar main level and loft additions on the east elevation of the
building. This now constructed Unit 6 addition infilled the eastern balcony directly north
of Unit 7. The subject Unit 7 eastern addition will encroach no further into the rear
setback area than the constructed Unit 6 addition.
The Vail Mountain View Residences is located east of the Tyrolean Condominiums and
is the neighboring property most directly affected by this proposal. Given the various
existing encroachments of the Tyrolean Condominiums into the eastern setback and the
presence to the existing screen or mask walls on the eastern façade of the building, Staff
believes the visual impact of this proposal to the neighboring property will be minimal in
comparison to existing conditions.
Therefore, Staff finds this proposal will not negatively affect the other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity in comparison to existing conditions.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and
uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of
this title without a grant of special privilege.
The Town of Vail has granted setback variance to Units 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 to facilitate
additions and renovations to these units. The subject setback variance proposal will
allow the applicant the ability to expand their unit in a similar manner to other units in the
Tyrolean Condominiums. The applicant's proposed eastern addition will encroach no
further into the rear setback area than the adjacent, constructed Unit 6 addition which
has 13 foot setback from the property boundary.
Staff believes the proposed variance is consistent with the goals and purposes of the
Town of Vail Land Use Plan, Vail Village Master Plan, and the High Density Multiple-
Family District identified in Section IV of this memorandum.
Therefore, Staff finds the proposed relief from the setback regulations is necessary to
achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity and to attain
the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety.
The proposed variance will facilitate an addition in the rear setback area that will not
alter population; will not increase the required number of parking spaces; will not affect
any existing transportation or traffic facilities, public facilities, or utilities; and will not
affect public safety in comparison to existing conditions. Therefore, Staff finds the
proposed variance conforms to this criterion.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the
proposed variance.

VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval, with conditions, of
a variance from Section 12-6H-6, Setbacks, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17,
Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for an addition within the setback, located at 400
East Meadow Drive, Unit 7 (Tyrolean Inn)/Part of Tract B, Block 5, Vail Village Filing 1,
and setting forth details in regard thereto. This recommendation is based upon the
review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and
testimony presented.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this variance
request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission pass
the following motion:
"The Planning and Environmental Commission approves the applicants' request
for a variance from Section 12-6H-6, Setbacks, Vail Town Code, pursuant to
Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for an addition within the
setback, located at 400 East Meadow Drive, Unit 7 (Tyrolean Inn)/Part of Tract B,
Block 5, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto."
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this variance
request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission applies
the following conditions:
"1. Approval of this variance is contingent upon the applicants obtaining Town of
Vail design review approval for this proposal.
2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall mitigate the
impacts on employee housing resulting from the construction of 250 square feet
of new gross residential floor area in accordance with the provisions of Chapter
12-24, Inclusionary Zoning. "
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this variance
request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes
the following findings:
"Based upon a review of Section VII of the February 28, 2011 staff memorandum
to the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the evidence and testimony
presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds:
1. The granting of this variance will not constitute a granting of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the High
Density Multiple-Family District.
2. The granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
3. This variance is warranted for the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
7
regulation will result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of Title 12, Zoning
Regulations, Vail Town Code.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally
to other properties in the High Density Multiple-Family District.
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the High Density Multiple-Family
District."

To: Planning and Environmental Commission
Tyrolean Condominiums Unit 7
Tyrolean Condominiums,Lot 5D
Vail Village 151 Filling
Request for Setback Variance
Purpose:
Pierce Architects on behalf of the owner is requesting a variance from the required
setback standard in the High Density Multiple Family(HDMF)zoning district from 20'
(side setback minimum)to 15'-5"to utilize the 250 square foot addition permitted for
dwelling units in HDMF zone district.
Details of Proposal:
There are two additions being proposed,one to the south that has no impact on setback
and one to the east that encroaches into the 20'side setback.
Background:
-In 1968,the Blue Cow Restaurant was constructed on the southern portion of the
subject property.
-In 1969,the property was zoned High Density Multiple Family(HDMF)which
allowed restaurants as an accessory use with in a multiple-family building.
-In 1973,the Town of Vail re-adopted the zoning regulations(Ordinance No. 8,
1973)and removed restaurants as an accessory use in the HDMF zone district,
thereby making the Tyrolean Restaurant(the Blue Cow Restaurant)a
nonconforming use.
-In 1980,the Tyrolean Condominiums were constructed and attached to the existing
"Blue Cow"restaurant structure.The subject property currently contains 8
individual dwelling units,the Tyrolean Restaurant,which includes two additional
dwelling units,20 enclosed parking spaces and three surface parking spaces.
-On May 10,2004,a variance was approved,with one condition,to allow the floor
area that was once the Tyrolean Restaurant to be converted into gross residential
floor area(GRFA).
-On July 26,2004,a setback variance was granted for Unit 9 to allow for
construction of a minor exterior alteration.

FRITZLEN PIERCE ARCHITECTS
VAIL,COLORADO
-On May 9,2005,a setback variance and site coverage variance was granted for Unit
6 to allow for the construction of a residential addition within the side setback.
-On May 9,2005,a setback variance was granted for Unit 7 to allow for the
construction of a residential addition within the side setback.
Upon completion,the building was non-conforming with respect to site coverage,
setbacks and exterior lighting.This pre-existing nonconforming condition through no
fault of the applicant(s)is a hardship based on the strict interpretation of the code.
Approval Criteria:
1.Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make the use compatible
with other properties in the vicinity.
The proposed use is an expansion on an existing Tyrolean unit(Unit 7)of 250 square feet
by enclosing existing decks.Other properties in the vicinity have completed similar
expansions(see`Background"above).
2. The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town.
The requested variance for Unit 7 is similar to variances granted in this area.The
proposed variances will allow these units to be treated similarly to other units in this
property as well as other properties in the vicinity.
The proposed variance is not a grant of special privilege given the existing non-
conformance of the site and the hardship it causes through no fault of the applicant(s).
3.The effect of the use on light and air,distribution of population,transportation facilities,utilities,
schools,parks and recreation facilities,and other public facilities and public facilities needs.
The proposed variance will have no negative impacts to these issues.
4. The effect upon traffic,with particular reference to congestion,automotive and pedestrian safety
and convenience,traffic flow and control,access,maneuverability,and removal of snow from the
streets and parking area.
The proposed variance will have no negative impacts to these issues.
5. The effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located,including the
scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses.
The additions will be in direct relation and accordance with the overall design of the
existing Tyrolean building.The scale of the additions is in accordance and harmony with
the overall building as well as other additions to the property.The proposed design
conforms to the overall design as well as brings architectural enhancements to the
building while retaining the existing charm.All materials and forms fit with the current
architecture represented on the site.The proposed use is in accordance with the
underlying zone district—High Density Multiple Family as well as the surrounding
buildings.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: February 28, 2011
SUBJECT: A request for the review of a exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7B-7, Exterior
Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the addition of enclosed floor
area, located at 302 Hanson Ranch Road, Unit 301 (Mill Creek Court Building)/ Lot I,
Block 5A, Vail Village Filing 5, and setting details in regards thereto. (PEC110012)
Applicant: Gail Ellis, represented by Craig Snowdon, Snowdon Hopkins Architects, PC
Planner: Rachel Dimond
SUMMARY
The applicant, Gail Ellis, represented by Snowdon Hopkins Architects PC, is requesting an
exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7B-7, Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail
Town Code, to facilitate the construction of five bay windows that consist of forty-nine square
feet of Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) to the Mill Creek Court Building, located at 302
Hanson Ranch Road, Unit 301 / Lot I, Block 5A, Vail Village Filing 5.
Staff recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission approves, with
conditions, the application, subject to the findings and criteria outlined in Section VII of this
memorandum. For reference, the attachments include a vicinity map (Attachment A), photos
(Attachment B), a letter from the applicant (Attachment C) and architectural plans (Attachment
D).
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The purpose of the proposed exterior alteration is to allow for the construction of five bay
windows on the south elevation on the third floor of the Mill Creek Court Building located at
302 Hanson Ranch Road. The windows to be added will create forty-nine (49) square feet of
additional GRFA. Because allowable density has been exceeded (both GRFA and dwelling
units/acre), this addition is permitted as a 250 addition, per 12-15-5, Vail Town Code. Of the
five bay windows, two are clear story bays located in the dining room, with the existing roof
utilized as the roof covering. Two traditional bays located in the living room are approximately
nine feet (9') in length and are connected by a twenty-one foot long metal bay roof band. The
fifth bay window in the laundry room is four feet wide and has a new copper roof to match the
unit below. The proposed bay windows will not add site coverage, as they are the same
footprint as the bay windows below.
III. BACKGROUND
The Mill Creek Court Building was built in 1965 as part of newly incorporated Town of Vail.
In 1986, a request was made to begin preliminary discussions regarding redevelopment of the
Mill Creek Court Building. However, a recommendation was made by staff to delay any
redevelopment until the completion of the Vail Village Master Plan, to which the applicant
agreed. Another request to discuss a rezoning was made years later, but according to the
legal file, nothing became of the informal request.
In April of 2001, a request for a work session was made to the Community Development
Department to discuss the rezoning of the Mill Creek Court Building from CCI to a different
zone district or to a special development district to allow office and residential uses on the
street level. However, this item did not move forward.
In 2005, the PEC approved an exterior alteration to install five bay windows on the second
floor, all of which are directly below the proposed bay windows.
IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
TITLE 12 ZONING REGULATIONS (IN PART)
Section 12-7B Commercial Core 1 (CC1) District (in part)
12-7B-1: PURPOSE: The Commercial Core 1 District is intended to provide sites and to
maintain the unique character of the Vail Village commercial area, with its mixture of lodges
and commercial establishments in a predominantly pedestrian environment. The Commercial
Core 1 District is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities
appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses. The District regulations in
accordance with the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations
prescribe site development standards that are intended to ensure the maintenance and
preservation of the tightly clustered arrangements of buildings fronting on pedestrianways and
public greenways, and to ensure continuation of the building scale and architectural qualities
that distinguish the Village.
12-7B-7: EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS:
A. Subject To Review: The construction of a new building, the alteration of an existing building
which adds or removes any enclosed floor area, the alteration of an existing building which
modifies exterior rooflines, the replacement of an existing building, the addition of a new
outdoor dining deck or the modification of an existing outdoor dining deck shall be subject
to review by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC).
12-7B-20: VAIL VILLAGE URBAN DESIGN PLAN:
A. Adoption: The Vail village urban design guide plan and design considerations are adopted
for the purposes of maintaining and preserving the character and vitality of the Vail village
(CC1) and to guide the future alteration, change and improvement in CC1 district. Copies
of the Vail village design guide plan and design considerations shall be on file in the
department of community development.
Vail Village Master Plan
The Vail Village Master Plan is based on the premise that the Village can be planned and
designed as a whole. The Vail Village Master Plan is intended to be consistent with the Vail
Village Urban Design Guide Plan, and along with the Guide Plan, it underscores the
importance of the relationship between the built environment and public spaces. Furthermore,
the Master Plan provides a clearly stated set of goals and objectives outlining how the Village
will grow in the future.
Goals for Vail Village are summarized in six major goal statements. While there is a certain
amount of overlap between these six goals, each focuses on a particular aspect of the Village
and the community as a whole. A series of objectives outline specific steps that can be taken
toward achieving each stated goal. Policy statements have been developed to guide the
Town's decision-making in achieving each of the stated objectives.
The stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan which pertain to this application are included
in Section VIII of this memorandum, Criteria and Findings.
Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan
This Guide Plan represents collective ideas about functional and aesthetic objectives for Vail
Village. Diagrammatic in nature, the Guide Plan is intended to suggest the nature of
improvements desired. It is based on a number of urban design criteria determined to be
appropriate for guiding change in the Vail Village. The Guide Plan is intended to be a guide
for current planning in both the public and private sectors. Design considerations relative to
redevelopment within the Commercial Core, specific to this proposal are as follows:
Vail Village Design Considerations: Facades - Windows
In addition to the general degree of transparency, window details are an important source of
pedestrian scale-giving elements.
The size and shape of windows are often a response to the function of the street adjacent. For
close-up, casual pedestrian viewing windows are typically sized to human-sized dimensions
and characteristics of human vision. (Large glass-wall storefronts suggest uninterrupted
viewing, as from a moving car. The sense of intimate pedestrian scale is diminished.) Ground
floor display windows are typically raised slightly 18 feet f and do not extend much over 8 feet
above the walkway level. Ground floors which are noticeably above or below grade are
exceptions.
The articulation of the window itself is still another element in giving pedestrian scale (human-
related dimensions). Glass areas are usually subdivided to express individual window
elements - and are further subdivided by mullions into small panes - which is responsible for
much of the old-world charm of the Village.
Similarly, windows are most often clustered in banks,juxtaposed with plain wall surfaces to give
a pleasing rhythm. Horizontal repetition of single window elements, especially over long
distances, should be avoided.
Large single pane windows occur in the Village, and provide some contrast, as long as they are
generally consistent in form with other windows. Long continuous glass is out of character.
Bay, bow and box windows are common window details, which further variety and
massing to facades - and are encouraged.
Reflective glass, plastic panes, and aluminum or other metal frames are not consistent in the
Village and should be avoided. Metal-clad or plastic clad wood frames, having the appearance
of painted wood have been used successfully and are acceptable.

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
It shall be the burden of the applicant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence before the
planning and environmental commission that:
1. The proposed exterior alteration is in compliance with the purposes of the CC1
district as specified in Section 12-7B-1, Vail Town Code; and,
Staff finds the proposed exterior alteration is in compliance with the purpose of the CC1
District, as the proposal will "maintain the unique character of the Vail Village
Commercial Area." Further, the application is consistent with the Vail Village Urban
Design Guide Plan's Design Consideration that "bay, bow and box windows are
common window details, which further variety and massing to facades - and are
encouraged".
2. The proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan; and,
Staff finds that the application is consistent with the applicable elements of the Vail
Comprehensive Plan, which includes the Vail Village Master Plan, Urban Design Guide
Plan, Design Considerations and the Vail Land Use Plan. There are no specific sub-
area concepts in the Urban Design Guide Plan for Vail Village relevant to this proposal.
As stated above, the Design Considerations encourage "window details, which further
variety and massing to facades," which in turn supports this application. Further, the
application is consistent with the element of the Design Considerations that
recommends the illusion of movement and articulation of facades. The application
furthers the Vail Land Use Plan goals and objectives, including Objective 1.1, to
"encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities"
and Goal 1.3, that "the quality of development should be maintained and upgraded
whenever possible."
3. The proposal does not otherwise negatively alter the character of the
neighborhood; and,
Staff finds that the proposal does not otherwise negatively alter the character of the
neighborhood, as there are existing bay windows below the proposed bays on the
second floor. The proposal will positively impact the character of the neighborhood
by improving the Mill Creek Court Building.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval, with conditions, of
the request for an exterior alteration pursuant to Section 12-7B-7, Exterior Alterations or
Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the addition of enclosed floor area, located at
302 Hanson Ranch Road, Unit 301 (Mill Creek Court Building)/ Lot I, Block 5A, Vail
Village Filing 5, and setting details in regards thereto.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: February 28, 2011
SUBJECT: A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed major
amendment to Special Development District No. 4, Cascade Village, pursuant to
Article 12-9A, Special Development District,Vail Town Code,to allow for an increase
in gross residential floor area and site coverage, and a reduction of the side setback,
located at 1476 Westhaven Drive/Lot 53, Glen Lyon Subdivision, and setting forth
details in regard thereto. (PEC110014)
Applicant: Coldstream Homeowners Condominiums, represented by Tom Braun
Planner: Warren Campbell
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Coldstream Homeowners Association, represented by Tom Braun, is
requesting a work session with the Planning and Environmental Commission on a proposed
major amendment to Special Development District(SDD) No.4, Cascade Village, pursuant
to Article 12-9A, Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in
gross residential floor area and site coverage, and a reduction of the side setback, located at
1476 Westhaven Drive. The proposed amendments include five additional dwelling units
and two employee housing units located above a parking structure.
As this is a work session the applicant and Staff request that this item be tabled to March
14, 2011.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a work session with the Planning and Environmental
Commission in order to gather feedback on a proposed major amendment to SDD No.4 for
Development Area B, Coldstream. The goal of the applicant is to gather feedback from the
Planning and Environmental Commission on the proposal in order for the homeowners
association to determine if additional investment is warranted to develop the documents for
a final review of the project. The applicant acknowledges that this is not an official review of
the project with regard to the criteria and does not perceive the feedback they receive as
binding.
The applicant is proposing to construct five (5) dwelling units and two (2) deed restricted
employee housing units along the southern property line adjacent to Park Meadows and The
Eagle Point Condominiums. The proposed units would be located on a partially buried
parking structure containing 64 enclosed parking spaces with an additional three parking
spaces on the exterior of the structure. These proposed improvements would replace and
existing tennis court which the applicant has suggested are "obsolete" and replace
"deteriorating" carports.
1
In association with the proposed major amendment to the SDD the applicant is suggesting to
provide 100% of the employee housing on-site (50% required) and furthermore would
provide"over twice"the required mitigation square footage for a total of approximately 2,350
square feet. This would be provided in two 3-bedroom units.
Other improvements proposed by the applicant include:
• A new on-site property manager's office within the enclosed parking structure;
• Conversion of the existing manager's office back into a residential unit; and
• Improvements to the project entry/arrival and auto circulation.
In a letter dated February 9, 2011, Staff provided several comments on the documents
submitted for review. The comments included initial feedback from all Town Departments
some of which Staff acknowledged would be addressed should the project move forward
with a final review of a major amendment. Those comments which Staff believes are
relevant to a work session discussion to identify comments and concerns prior to moving
forward are:
• The lack of landscaping along the north elevation of the proposed parking structure
is a concern for staff due to the height of the proposed garage and structures. The
development currently incorporates a design in which landscaping is included
around all structures.
• Staff is concerned about the ability to place significant landscaping on the roof of the
parking garage with regards to weight and soil depth.
• The required snow storage will need to be shown. Currently,winter time conditions
can become tight within the development. Will any areas be heated?
• Possible public benefits that may be needed in the area include extension of
sidewalks and stream bank stabilization.
• Any encroachments that may be existing in the stream tract will be requested to be
removed.
• Staff has concerns about the exposed south wall of the parking structure in close
proximity to the property line eliminating the ability to buffer the improvement from
neighboring properties.
A vicinity map (Attachment A), a written document from the applicant detailing the request
(Attachment B), a set of proposed conceptual plans (Attachment C), and a letter from the
applicant with responses to concerns identified by Staff in its February 9, 2011 letter
(Attachment D) are attached for reference.
As this is a work session Staff has not prepared responses to the nine criteria which shall be
used in evaluating the merits of a major amendment to an established SDD. It will be the
burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed
development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or
more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest
has been achieved. Staff believes that feedback to the applicant should consider the
following criteria.
A. Consideration of Factors Regarding Special Development Districts:
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,neighborhood
2
and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10 of
the Vail Town Code.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the special development district is proposed.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions.
I. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development
district.
Staff believes the following questions will help begin a conversation based on the proposed
plans for a major amendment. Staff and the applicant acknowledge that the plans submitted
are conceptual and will need to provide additional detail if the project moves forward.
• Will the conceptual proposal have positive effects on the existing Coldstream
Condominiums and adjacent properties with regard to design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation?
• Will the conceptual proposal contain uses, activities, and density (including gross
residential floor area) which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship
with surrounding uses and activities?
• Will the conceptual proposal contain public benefits commensurate with the
suggested development standard deviations?
• Will the conceptual proposal contain functional and aesthetic landscaping and open
space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and
functions?
• What other feedback would the Planning and Environmental Commission like to
provide?

III. BACKGROUND
Special Development District No. 4
Special Development District(SDD) No.4, Cascade Village,was adopted by Ordinance No.
5, Series of 1976. At minimum of seventeen subsequent amendments occurred from 1977
through the present day, inclusive of the most recent major amendment to approve the
revised development plan for Cascade Residences in 2007 and the Cornerstone project in
2008. The subject property was a Planned Unit Development under Eagle County
Jurisdiction when the property was annexed in 1975. SDD No. 4 includes the following:
Area A Cascade Village
Area B Coldstream Condominiums
Area C Glen Lyon Primary/Secondary and Single Family Lots
Area D Glen Lyon Commercial Site
The entire Cascade Village site is approximately 97.5 acres. Because the property was
annexed into the Town of Vail as a Planned Unit Development under Eagle County
jurisdiction and early Special Development Districts were not based on an underlying zoning,
there is no underlying zoning for this SDD. The uses and development standards for the
entire property are as outlined in the adopting ordinance for SDD No. 4.
Coldstream Site
The Coldstream Condominium development was completed in 1981 and included 45
dwelling units. In 1990 approvals were granted which provided for an increase in gross
residential floor area in association with a project which did not move forward. Most recently
Coldstream completed a complete renovation to the exterior of all buildings including siding
materials, windows, and doors.
IV. ROLES OF REVIEWING BOARDS
Major Amendment to a Special Development District
Planning and Environmental Commission:
The PEC shall review the proposal for and make a recommendation to the Town Council
based upon the findings made on the criteria located in Chapter 12-9A, Special
Development District, Vail Town Code.
Town Council:
The Town Council takes into consideration the PEC's recommendation when reviewing an
application for a special development district and is responsible for final approval/denial of
an SDD. The Town Council shall review the proposal and approve/approve with
conditions/deny the application based upon the findings made on the criteria located in
Chapter 12-9A, Special Development District, Vail Town Code.
V. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Vail Land Use Plan (in part)
The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as expressed through the series
of public meetings that were held throughout the project. A set of initial goals were
4
developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions were
brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect a general
consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts and ideas
initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review process with
the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now
represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These
goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan map, in the
evaluation of any development proposal.
Resort Accommodations and Service:
This area includes activities aimed at accommodating the overnight and short-term visitor to
the area. Primary uses include hotels, lodges, service stations, and parking structures(with
densities up to 25 dwelling units or 50 accommodation units per buildable acre)
The goal statements which Staff believes are applicable to the proposed plan are as follows:
1. 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.
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural
resources should be protected as the Town grows.
1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever
possible.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed
areas (infill areas).
1.13 Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as
its potential for public use.
2. Skier/Tourist Concerns
2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while
accommodating day visitors.
2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve
year-round tourism.
2.5 The community should improve non-skier recreational options to improve
year-round tourism.
5. Residential
5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing,
platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not
exist.
5
5.2 Quality time share units should be accommodated to help keep occupancy
rates up.
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 market place demands for a
full range of housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded.
Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied
sites throughout the community.
6. Community Services
6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth.
6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing
growth with services.
6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods.

Coldstream Condominiums
Cascade Village SDD Amendment
January 31, 2011, revised February 24, 2011
Over the past 30 years the Coldstream Condominium Owners Association has taken
many steps to continually upgrade and improve their community. Recently the
Association has been evaluating the feasibility of implementing a relatively small but
important improvement program that would involve the addition of five new residential
units, two EHU's and a number of other on-site improvements. In order to implement
this plan an amendment to SDD No. 4-Cascade Village will be necessary.
Prior to submitting formal applications to amend SDD No. 4 the Association is interested
in a work session level discussion with the Planning and Environmental Commission and
the Town Council. The goal of these work sessions is to gauge the Town's interest in this
re-development plan. While it is understood that any input received from the Town
during this work session process will be preliminary and non-binding, it will none the
less be beneficial to the Association in deciding what future actions to take on this re-
development plan.
The following provides an explanation of the proposed re-development plans and
associated benefits,background on the Coldstream Condominiums, a summary of
existing and proposed development, an evaluation of alternative review processes, a
bullet-point response to SDD review criteria and a summary of the proposed project.
Proposed Re-development/Benefits of Project
Major elements of the re-development plans include the construction of five new free-
market condominiums, two new employee housing units, a new parking garage and
associated site improvements. There are a number of other improvements that are being
considered as a part of this project. While at this stage plans are conceptual and subject
to change, other specific improvements under consideration include:
• Employee housing square footage that is over twice that required by the Town's
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (+/-2,350 sf in two 3-Bedroom units).
• A new on-site property manager's office designed and constructed specifically for
this purpose.
• Conversion of the existing on-site manager's office back to a residential unit.
• Improvements to the project entry/arrival and auto circulation for guest access.
• Replacement of deteriorating carports with a fully enclosed parking structure
• Replacement of 15 surface parking spaces with enclosed parking.
• Replacement of the obsolete courts buildings with new residential dwellings
compatible with the Coldstream vernacular.
Coldstream Condominiums 1
SDD Amendment Work Session
Background on the Coldstream Condominiums
The Coldstream Condominiums were completed in 1981 and include 45 residential
condominiums and other related improvements including on-site parking, extensive
landscaping, pool, spa, cabana, tennis court and a racquetball/squash court. Coldstream
has approximately 23 units included in the Vail Cascade short term rental program; total
revenues are approximately $1.3 million per year producing approximately $130,000 of
sales and lodging tax revenue to the Town. The on-site management office and
housekeeping facilities are very important to these short-term rental operations.
With the opening of the Cascade Club [Aria] in 1987 (with its seven tennis courts and six
racquetball/squash courts), the Coldstream tennis and racquetball/squash facilities
became obsolete as Coldstream owners are able to utilize Cascade Club facilities. Since
that time the racquetball/squash court has been adapted to property and rental
management use and the tennis court is seldom used.
In late 1990 an amendment to SDD4 was proposed and recommended by Community
Development Department [9/24/90] to approve a small increase in GRFA and clarify
other development standards. The plan included the renovation of the courts building into
property management facilities and storage as well as two employee restricted units.
Because of financing difficulties the project never implemented.
Since it's opening in the early 1980's the Coldstream Association has been very diligent
in maintaining and upgrading the project. In 1995, Coldstream owners expended$1.5
million to replace the roofs and make substantial site/landscape improvements. In 2002
the Association spent a considerable amount of money to bring natural gas into the
project. In 2004, the Board prepared a phased redevelopment plan for the project. The
first phase consisted of replacing all building exteriors: siding, windows, doors and
extensive landscape and site improvements at a cost of$6.2 million. These
improvements were completed in 2006. The second phase is to replace the court
facilities and carports which are deteriorating.
As evident by this proposal, Coldstream owners continue to demonstrate their
commitment to an aggressive maintenance and improvements program for their project.
Existing and Proposed Development
Coldstream is situated on an approximately 3.98 acre (+/-173,369 sf)parcel designated as
Area B in Special Development District 4 (SSD No. 4, Cascade Village). The property
does not have underlying zoning as it was annexed into the Town with the creation of
SDD4.
SDD No. 4 -Area B development standards include:

• Setbacks 20 ft 20 ft
(*)—Or as otherwise indicated on site specific development plan.
(**)—50% of required parking shall be located within the main building or buildings or
hidden from view.
With the exception of GRFA and setbacks (for the substantially below grade parking
structure), the proposed addition can be constructed in accordance with all applicable
development standards outlined by SDD No. 4. The following summarizes how the
proposed amendment/addition would affect zoning/development standards:
Dwelling Units
The five proposed condominium units would increase project density to 50 units,well
below the maximum allowable of 65 units (the two EHU's, if developed as Type III units
would not count toward density).
GRFA
Existing development slightly exceeds the maximum allowable GRFA of 65,000 sq ft.
The five condominiums would add approximately 10,000 sq ft of GRFA to the site. The
two EHU's, if developed as Type III units would not count towards GRFA.
Site Coverage
Proposed improvements would increase site coverage from+/-42,689 to+/-58,681 sq ft,
or 34% of the site. The allowable site coverage is 35%. Existing and proposed site
coverage diagrams are found at the end of this report.
Landscaping
While detailed landscape plans have not yet been done, a green roof is envisioned as a
possible solution for the parking garage. Assuming that a green roof is a part of the final
design solution the total landscaping of the entire site would actually increase from +/-
44% to+/-46%. Existing and proposed conceptual landscape diagrams are found at the
end of this report.
Parking
There are presently approximately 77 parking spaces at Coldstream. These spaces
include surface spaces,parking in carports and garage parking within individual units.
Coldstream Condominiums 3
SDD Amendment Work Session
The parking requirement for the new addition would involve replacing any existing
parking displaced by the project and providing parking for the new development. The
proposed addition creates a requirement for 17 new spaces (10 for the five
condominiums, 4 for the two EHU's, and 3 for the management office). Proposed
improvements displace 47 existing surface and carport spaces. This means 64 new
spaces are required. The proposed parking garage is designed for 64 parking spaces and
3 new surface spaces are also proposed for a total of 67 new spaces. This would satisfy
parking requirements
Height
The SDD allows for building height of 48'. The proposed improvements will be
designed within this limitation.
Setbacks
20' setbacks are required by SDD No. 4. The residential buildings would conform to this
standard; however the parking garage would be located within a few feet of the south
property line. At the south property line the majority of the parking garage would be
below grade and at the highest point would only extend 6-8 feet above grade.
The adjacent properties to the south, Eagle Pointe Condominiums and Park Meadows, are
zoned HDMF. As a point of comparison, if HDMF zoning were applied to Coldstream
the allowable number of units would increase to 105 and the allowable GRFA would
increase to 139,444 sq ft. This amount of GRFA is over twice that permitted by the SDD
and greatly exceeds the GRFA proposed by these improvements.
Review Process Alternatives
As outlined above, the proposed improvements could be constructed in accordance with
existing SDD development standards with the exception of GRFA and setbacks (for the
below grade portion of the garage adjacent to the south property line). There are two
alternatives for obtaining development approvals for these improvements:
Remove Coldstream from SDD No. 4/Re-zone to HDMF/Request Setback Variance
Removing Coldstream from SDD No. 4 and re-zoning to HDMF would provide more
than enough GRFA to accommodate proposed improvements. However, a setback
variance would also be necessary. While procedurally these steps are all feasible, there is
not a great deal of precedence in removing land within an existing SDD (under these
circumstances)which creates a degree of uncertainty with this process alternative. In
addition, from the town's perspective simply re-zoning Coldstream to HDMF would
leave the door open for a significant re-development of the property and not provide the
Town with the same certainty of having an approved development plan as per SDD
regulations.
Coldstream Condominiums 4
SDD Amendment Work Session
Amend SDD No. 4
Two fairly straight forward amendments to existing SDD development standards would
allow for these improvements to Coldstream—increasing allowable GRFA by +/-10,000
sq ft and modifying setback requirements to state "20' or as otherwise indicated by an
approved development plan". A development plan depicting the location of the garage
would then be approved in conjunction with these amendments.
While both of these processes would have the same result, amending the SDD is the
preferred alternative.
SDD Review Criteria
The following criteria are used to evaluate a proposed SDD. Bullet-point responses to
how this proposal would conform to these criteria are also provided:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale,bulk,
building height, buffer zones, identity, character,visual integrity and orientation.
• The limited scope of proposed development is consistent with and sensitive to
existing development within the site and on surrounding properties.
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
• Density (dwelling units) is within that permitted by the existing SDD.
• Proposed uses are consistent with existing uses on the site and with surrounding
areas.
3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined
in chapter 10 of this title.
• Parking in accordance with Chapter 10 can be provided.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive
plan, town policies and urban design plans.
• The maintenance and upgrading of existing properties,particularly those with a
strong short-term rental component is encouraged by the Town's master plans.
5.Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
• N/A
Coldstream Condominiums 5
SDD Amendment Work Session
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features,vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
• Proposed improvements are located on land that is already developed. As such
this criterion is not applicable.
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off site traffic circulation.
• Revisions to the project entry will allow for improvements to existing vehicular
circulation.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize
and preserve natural features,recreation, views and function.
• With the green roof proposed for the parking garage the project will result in a net
increase to landscape area(44% to 46%).
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
• The project would be done in one phase.
Project Summary
The revenue to be derived from the five condominiums is clearly the "economic engine"
necessary to fund other improvements to Coldstream—the two employee housing units,
the development of a parking garage, a dedicated on-site management facility and other
related site improvements. Contrary to a "traditional development project", the five
condominiums will not bring a windfall of profits to the Association but rather will allow
for the implementation of Phase II of the Association's redevelopment master plan and in
doing so further their tradition of continually maintaining and upgrading their
community.
With approximately one-half of Coldstream's units involved in a short-term rental
program, the project plays an important role in providing the Town with guest
accommodations. In addition, the lodging/sales tax revenues to the Town generated by
Coldstream are not insignificant. The improvements that can be made to the project via
this re-development plan will improve Coldstream's ability to serve the lodging market
and in doing so provide benefit's to the entire Vail community.

Mr. Warren Campbell
Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
RE: Coldstream Condominiums/SDD Work Session Discussion
Dear Warren:
Thank you for your letter of February 9th,re: initial staff comments on the SDD Work
Session submittal for Coldstream. While many of these comments are most
appropriately addressed after more detailed design has been done and during the formal
development review process, we do appreciate the"heads up" on what may be discussion
points. The following is a brief reply to the points raised in your letter:
• The development will be required to be sprinklered and have monitored fire
alarms.
Response
We assume that this comment pertains to the sprinkling and monitoring of the
proposed new building. This would be addressed during the detailed design of the
building.
• Research will need to be performed to determine if a recreation fee credit was
given for the tennis court site which is proposed to be removed. Fees may be due
if the provided recreation improvement is removed.
Response
Understood. We will address this if/when the Association decides to pursue the
project.
• Eagle River Water and Sanitation District will need to be contacted to discuss
water rights available for the proposed development.
Response
Understood. Based on similar discussions I've had with the District, I suspect
that this will not be an issue as the project density is still below that originally
allocated to the SDD.

• The lack of landscaping along the north elevation of the proposed parking
structure is a concern for staff due to the height of the proposed garage and
structures. The development currently incorporates a design in which landscaping
is included around all structures.
Response
I would offer two thoughts in response to this comment - currently the drive aisle
fronts onto a +/- 15 stall surface lot and then a +/-15 stall carport and there is
virtually no landscaping in this area,. The proposed design at this conceptual
stage includes three significant landscape pockets on the eastern end of the
structure. Arguably the proposed landscape condition in this area would be an
improvement over existing conditions.
• Staff is concerned about the ability to place significant landscaping on the roof of
the parking garage with regards to weight and soil depth.
Response
The landscape treatment of the roof is best addressed during detailed design.
However, our thought is that as a "green roof' the soil depth of the roof would be
sufficient to support grasses and shrubs. We would not plan on installing trees on
the roof.
• The required snow storage will need to be shown. Currently, winter time
conditions can become tight within the development. Will any areas be heated?
Response
We have not contemplated heating the drive aisle. In comparing the existing and
proposed plans the area devoted to drive aisles is essentially the same. However,
the proposed plan eliminates +/-15 surface spaces and replaces them with 3
surface spaces. As such the area where snow would need to be removed is being
reduced, hence the necessary snow storage area would decrease. In addition, at
this conceptual level the new landscape areas at the project entry would appear to
provide an increase to snow storage areas.
• Possible public benefits that may be needed in the area include extension of
sidewalks and stream bank stabilization.
Response
We believe that given the relatively modest development that is proposed the
EHU's being twice what Town regs would require, along with other
improvements to the project outlined in our submittal represent a significant
"package" of public benefits. That said, we are happy to learn more about what
you the thinking in terms of the sidewalk. The idea of stream bank stabilization
does "give me pause" from two perspectives — 1) there would not appear to be a
rational nexus between the impacts of the proposed development and the stream
bank, and 2) in my experience with stream bank stabilization the costs can be
astronomical. We look forward to discussing this aspect of the SDD with staff,
the PEC and Town Council.
• Any encroachments that may exist in the stream tract will be requested to be
removed.
Response
We are not aware of any existing encroachments in the stream corridor but will
certainly confirm this in the spring.
• Staff has concerns about the exposed south wall of the parking structure in close
proximity to the property line eliminating the ability to buffer the improvement
from neighboring properties.
Response
Understood. There are a few potential solutions that are best addressed if/when
the Association decides to move forward with the project. These could include 1)
"stepping" the parking garage to lower the west end and reduce the height of the

landscaping on their property, or 3) working with the neighbors to re-grade on
their property in order to bury the exposed wall.
• Details will be needed on the shoring methods anticipated in order to construct the
subterranean parking structure in close proximity to the property line.
Response
This is a good question but is one that cannot be answered until more detailed
design work is done. This information will be provided with a formal SDD
amendment request.
• The site coverage and landscaping area images included with your application
depict the inclusion of a parcel owned by the Town of Vail counting towards
landscape area. The area in question is the "tail" of land just to the south of the
development's entry adjacent to Westhaven Drive and Parkside Meadows. We do
not believe this land should be included in these calculations.
Response
You are correct. We had understood the "tail" to be owned by the Association but
it is not. Amended landscape and site coverage calcs along with a revised written
description of the project will be provided to you in the next few days.
Thank you again for your initial comments. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any
questions you may have.

Dear Planning and Environmental Commission members and adjacent property owners:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Town of Vail Staff has approved an amendment
to the approved conditional use permit for the new Lionshead Transit Welcome Center (Auxiliary
Building)to increase the floor area on the lowest level of the structure by approximately 330 square
feet. Additionally, the stair case to the parking structure was shifted west to allow for an increased
planter width between the stairs and the structure. These changes were made in order to allow the
structure to function more efficiently for the approved land uses and pedestrian circulation.
Architectural floor plans of this amendment have been attached for reference. Larger scale plans
are available for inspection at the Town of Vail Community Development Department during regular
business hours.
The Town of Vail Staff has determined that this amendment to the approved Lionshead Transit
Welcome Center conditional use permit meets the review criteria prescribed by Section 12-16-10,
Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code. This administrative approval of a conditional use permit
amendment will be reported to the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission at its
Monday, February 28, 2011 public hearing at 1:00 p.m. in the Vail Town Council Chambers, located
at 75 South Frontage Road West. The Planning and Environmental Commission reserves the right
to"call up"this administrative action for additional review at this hearing. This administrative action
may also be appealed by an adjacent property owner, any aggrieved or adversely affected person,
or the Vail Town Council as outlined in Section 12-3-3, Appeals, Vail Town Code.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 970-479-2148.
Sincerely,

1. Legal Training - Matt Mire 30 minutes
Matt Mire, Town Attorney, gave a presentation regarding his office hours and availability to
address questions the Commission might have. He stated that he appreciated receiving any
questions ahead of time verse trying to provide advice in a public hearing off the cuff. He
covered the ability to enter into executive session if necessary to hear legal advice, but this has
been rarely done with the Commission. This presentation is to satisfy the CIRSA, Town's
insurance carrier, requirements for coverage under the Town's protection. A conflict of interest
only exists if you have a direct and substantial financial interest in the matter under
consideration. Must disclose the conflict on the record and then avoid influencing the
Commission by leaving the room. It is not a legal requirement to leave the room, however, if you
stay in the room avoid body language and seating yourself in a manner that may be seen as an
attempt to influence a review. He discussed the difference between acting in legislative and
quasi-judicial roles in the hearing. He then covered the making of a record and providing
findings for a decision based in the adopted criteria.
Commissioner Kurz inquired into concerns with ex parte conversations on site visits.
Matt Mire explained that decisions can not be made when traveling to and from a site or on the
site. Lobbying on site by the applicant or their representatives must be avoided.
Commissioner Pratt inquired as to the differentiation between certain actions the Commission
takes and whether they were legislative or quasi-judicial.
Matt Mire stated that actions that are broad sweeping tend to be legislative and actions for a
specific property or group of properties tend to be quasi-judicial.
Commissioner Rediker inquired as to the specifics of three or more members getting together.
Matt Mire clarified the difference between social gatherings and those where topics under
consideration may be discussed. Staff needs to notice and provide minutes of any gatherings
where items under consideration are being discussed.
Matt Mire inquired as to the Commission having any comments on the mitigation chapter that
was to be discussed latter in the agenda.
Page 1
Commissioner Rediker inquired as to the jurisdictions that were reviewed to create this mitigation
chapter. He stated that he felt the proposed legislation was potentially too boiler plate and
unspecific. He questioned if Greenwood Village's legislation had be legally challenged.
Matt Mire stated that Greenwood Village was the specific example; however, others were
reviewed as well. He would look into making the proposed legislation more specific and to see if
the Greenwood Village legislation.
2. Water Quality Update — Eagle River Water Shed Council 30 minutes
Bill Carlson, Environmental Health Officer, gave a presentation on the ongoing efforts with
regards to stream health of the Gore Creek and its tributaries. He highlighted efforts to keep
Gore Creek off of the State 303(d) list for impaired waters. The strategy is to convince the State
to not list Gore Creek as there are multiple local stakeholders with a strategy to identify the
cause of the degradation and mitigate that source. He concluded by stating that he would return
with updates in the future.
Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the tributaries water quality and the degree of degradation that
is actually occurring along Gore Creek.
Bill Carlson explained that the tributaries are at the specified attainment levels for the state.
Commissioner Rediker inquired as to the locations of the sampling points.
Bill Carlson stated that a study was currently under way to locate potentially eight locations.
Commissioner Cartin suggest that extending the sampling process occur year round verse only
in the spring. It may help to determine if it was snow melt products or lawn care products.
There was no public comment.

Rachel Dimond clarified that the driveway will be asphalt millings.
Commissioner Pratt asked about the environmental impacts of using millings.
George Ruther, Community Development Department Director, noted other locations where the
Town has used this paving material.
Commissioner Pierce noted that an email was received from Staff containing a letter expressing
several concerns from Chas and Charmayne Bernhardt, adjacent property owners.
Marian Carton was available on behalf of the community garden committee.
Commissioner Pratt asked about the management of sheds, trellises, and other privately
installed structures.
Marian Carton responded that the committee would not permit such structures to be installed.
Page 3
Commissioner Kurz noted his concern about interactions with wildlife, more specifically smaller
animals like raccoons and gophers. He asked about potential liability and impacts to neighbor's
properties.
Commissioners Pratt and Viele agreed with the Bernhardt's letter identifying a concern about
planting fruit trees which could attract bears.
Commissioner Rediker asked who from the Town would monitor the operation of the garden.
Rachel Dimond identified the variance Community Development Department and Public Works
Department staff members involved with this proposal. She also
Kristen Bertuglia, Town of Vail Sustainability Coordinator, noted that their will be a formal lease
agreement between the committee and the Town Council.
Commissioner Kurz recommended a formal, written report be provide on a regular basis from the
garden committee.
Commissioner Pierce recommended a modification to the conditions of approval.
Commissioner Pratt recommended a two-year approval limit.
George Ruther identified the Council's goal of facilitating the garden, but no managing the day-
to-day operation of the facility. He recommended more details be incorporated into the
operational agreement between the Council and the garden committee.
Commissioner Pratt asked about who would enforce specific sections of the proposed
management plan.
George Ruther recommended that this could also be addressed in the operational agreement
between the Council and the garden committee.
Kristen Bertuglia identified the garden committee's role in enforcing the rules of garden.
Commissioner Pierce stated that the garden is a great idea, but the management agreement will
be the most important tool to ensuring
Commissioner Rediker identified a potential risk to pets from certain organic garden fertilizers.
His other concern is creating an asphalt driveway and parking area.
Rachel Dimond noted that the alternative driveway locations would require approval from the
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). She identified the provisions of the Town Code
requiring an improved parking surface.
Commissioner Rediker asked about the ramifications of not paving the parking area or not
creating a parking area.
George Ruther identified run-off, mud, dusk, and tracking material onto the adjacent road as
concerns. He noted that parking will likely occur on the frontage road if it is not provided on-site.
Commissioner Rediker asked about parking lot design alternatives.
Rachel Dimond identified the issues that would be regulated by CDOT.
Page 4
Kristen Bertuglia noted that there are only five parking spaces and the area is currently a
compacted road base material.
The recommendation is contingent upon the successful negotiation of a mangagement
agreement between the Town Council and the garden committee.
George Ruther asked if the Commissioner were interested in exploring options for minimizing the
parking area if possible.
Commissioners Rediker and Viele agreed.
Commissioners Pierce and Pratt were concerned about any backing into the street.
Commissioner Kurz did not amend his motion.
60 minutes
5. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-3-7,
Amendment, Vail Town Code, for a prescribed regulations amendment to create Chapter 12-26,
Exactions and Dedications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the creation of regulations for mitigation
of development impacts, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100050)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: George Ruther/ Rachel Dimond
ACTION: Tabled to February 28, 2011
MOTION: Viele SECOND: Kurz VOTE: 6-0-0
Rachel Dimond gave a presentation per the Staff memorandum.
Commissioner Kurz understands why the Town would like to implement this policy, however, 12-
26-3(B) caused him concern regarding the statement that fee schedules may be established.
Appears adhoc and may occur without study.
Rachel Dimond stated that a cause and effect nexus is necessary for your community to
establish the impact.
Commissioner Kurz, felt that the proposed language was stating that a nexus for a fee schedule
was necessary and not a nexus for the actual impact fee. He also felt the severability Section of
the proposed regulation was permitting the Council a variance out for Council.
George Ruther replied the that Section 2 of the proposed ordinance is not intend to amend the
way the ordinance is being implemented, but serve as a form of protection should a court
determination result in the nullifying of any portion of the adopted regulation.
Commissioner Viele inquired as to any provision in the Code which prohibited the collection of
fees? Was this proposal to legalize the ability to charge these fees? Are the fees being
collected currently inappropriate?
George Ruther responded by stating that the attorney's office has requested this proposed
regulation to strengthen the defense of mitigation fees and improvements which are collected.
Commissioner Cartin inquired as to how fees are determined by the Town and Council?
Page 5
Rachel Dimond responded that a need would be identified that would benefit from mitigation and
a subsequent study would be performed to determine the appropriate mitigation of an impact.
George Ruther highlighted the parking pay-in-lieu fee which is currently at $32,000 per parking
space which is no where close to the estimated cost of approximately $110,000 to actually
construct a structured space.
Commissioner Rediker asked Staff to consider a definition of infrastructure facilities and services
as identified in the proposed language. He highlighted the list of impacts which could be
mitigated found on page 3 of the Staff memorandum. He continued by highlighted the proposed
12-26-4(2) might be best changed to discuss the Town's need for an improvement and not an
"interest" in an improvement. He suggest that the phrase "But for" as it occurs in the proposed
language is a high legal standard which could be difficult to determine. He felt that 12-26-5(D)
and 12-26-5(E) were redundant and was unsure of why both paragraphs were needed.
George Ruther clarified that due to the review processes within the Town of Vail that the two
paragraphs clarified the differing roles of the Commission and the Council.
Commissioner Rediker suggested that the Town's legal counsel review 12-26-4(6) and the
appropriateness of the language.
Commissioner Pratt stated for the record that he did not feel that a project developing within full
compliance with the Code should not be required to perform an impact study. He continued, by
stating that the proposed language did not provide the clarity that the Staff memorandum was
suggesting would be an outcome. Developers must invest significant sums to design and submit
prior to know the mitigation impacts. The proposed language does not clearly identify the fees
for the various impacts.
George Ruther stated that the reality is that in some case you need to know a great deal about
the project before knowing the actual impact costs, however, the exact fees would be determined
through the review, but there should be no surprise that fees and improvements will be
requested.
Commissioner Pratt suggested that the proposed ordinance language was vague and should
include a list of the impacts that will need to be mitigated as found in the memorandum.
George Ruther stated that the Town could choose a fee that is below that of the actual identified
impact and subsidize certain elements and improvements.
Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Homeowners Association, asked that the list of exactions and
impacts found on page 3 of the Staff memorandum needs to be reconciled with the list contained
within the proposed ordinance language. He added that mitigation of development impacts
originally started under the Special Development District process solely unless you asked for
more than what zoning permitted. He stated that the Town should be looking at the budgetary
process such as staff salaries and benefits is to solve some of the needs of the community as
development is likely not going to be rebounding in the near term. He highlighted the studies
done for Ever Vail showing the fiscal impact of a project like Ever Vail and should those
revenues be dealt with differently to allow those to mitigate development impacts. He spoke to
several studies that state the struggle that real estate will have moving forward as the
homeownership fees for metro districts and homeowners associations will deter many from
purchasing products in resorts like ours.
Page 6
George Ruther highlighted the difference between policy and implementation. Some
communities have exactions requirements, but may wave them entirely by accepting various
improvements or other elements. This proposed ordinance only speaks to the impacts created
by development and only the incremental impacts of that development. This ordinance cannot
be used to go back and correct the sins of the past.
Jim Lamont suggested that policy needs to follow industry trends. He suggested that a list of all
the fees that are charged to a square footage of development in the Town of Vail and how they
cumulatively impact development and sale of product in the Town of Vail. This will be vital to the
reinvention of ourselves as we come out of the current economic climate
