(PEC110040, PEC110041) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Bill Gibson I. SUMMARY The applicant, Town of Vail, is requesting a work session to discuss the proposed Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District. At the Planning and Environmental Commission's August 22nd work session, Staff presented an overview of the proposed new zone district and related master plan amendments. The purpose of this work session is to discuss the following topics in more depth: Why a new zone district? What does the Vail Village Master Plan recommend? What development goals and policies should be applied to the existing townhouse properties located in the Vail Village? As this is a work session, Staff recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission listens to the Staff presentation, asks questions, requests any additional information needed for the review of this application, and then tables this items to its September 26, 2011 public hearing for further deliberation. II. BACKGROUND This proposal is similar to past applications to first establish a new Vail Rowhouse Special Development District and later to establish a new Vail Village Townhouse District by Chris Galvin, represented by Mauriello Planning Group and KH Webb Architects, which have since been withdrawn by Mr. Galvin. The Vail Town Council generally supported the concept of establishing a new zone district that is tailored to address these existing, unique townhouse properties in Vail Village. So upon Mr. Galvin's withdrawal of his application, the Vail Town Council directed Staff to formally submit a similar application, on behalf of the Town of Vail, to establish a new Vail Village Townhouse District. In 2008 and 2009, Chris Galvin, represented by Mauriello Planning Group and KH Webb Architects, submitted and later withdrew multiple applications to establish the Vail Townhouse Condominiums and the Vail Row Houses as a Special Development District to create incentives for redevelopment and to address the various non - conformities of the existing properties when regulated by the High Density Multiple - Family (HDMF) District. In 2010 and 2011, Chris Galvin, represented by Mauriello Planning Group and KH Webb Architects, submitted and later withdrew an application to establish a new Vail Village Townhouse District to create incentives for redevelopment and to address the various non - conformities of the existing properties when regulated by the HDMF District. It was anticipated that this proposed new district could be applied to the existing Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail Row Houses, Vail Trails Chalets, Vail Trails East, and the Texas Townhomes townhouse developments. The Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed Mr. Galvin's application to establish a new Vail Village Townhouse District at its April 26, May 10, June 14, July 12, and August 23, 2010 public hearings. On August 23, 2010 the Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed amendments with modifications. The Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council differed on how much gross residential floor area (GRFA) was appropriate for the new zone district. The Planning and Environmental Commission recommended a GRFA ratio of 1.35, while the Vail Town Council recommended a GRFA ratio of 1.25 on the first reading of the previous Vail Village Townhouse District ordinance. On second reading of the previous ordinance, the Vail Town Council expressed its concern that the development standards of the proposed zone district would not adequately maintain the existing character of the neighborhood. The Vail Town Council tabled the second reading of Mr. Galvin's proposal until the applicant and Staff returned with additional regulations to preserve the neighborhood character. At the Council's direction, Staff drafted design guidelines and master plan amendments with the assistance of the Town's consultant, Winston and Associates, and input from Town of Vail Page 2 Mr. Galvin's representatives, intended to preserve the existing character of the neighborhood. Prior to presentation of these proposed design guidelines and master plan amendments to the Vail Town Council, Mr. Galvin withdrew his application. On July 25, 2011 the Planning and Environmental Commission held a work session to discuss the Vail Village Townhouse District application re- initiated by Staff at the Vail Town Council's request. Staff presented an overview of the previous Galvin applications and a summary of the Town's current proposal. The Mauriello Planning Group, representing Mr. Galvin, noted their general support for the new district and presented alternatives to the proposed GRFA and building step -back standards. Vail Rowhouse, Unit 11 owner Dolph Bridgewater expressed his opposition to the proposed GRFA limits in the new district and the potential redevelopment of the neighboring Galvin unit. At the Planning and Environmental Commission's request, Staff mailed a courtesy notice to each property owner of record and each home owners association at the Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail Rowhouse, Vail Trails East, Vail Trails Chalet, and Texas Townhomes informing them of the Commission's upcoming August 22nd work session on the proposed new zone district. At the request of the Vail Townhouse Condominiums homeowners association, the Commission's August 22nd work session discussion was tabled to the Commission's September 12, 2011 public hearing. III. DISCUSSION ITEMS WHY A NEW ZONE DISTRICT? The existing townhouse properties in Vail Village such as the Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail Row Houses, Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East, and Vail Trails Chalets are currently zoned High Density Multiple Family (HDMF) District. The development standards applied to these properties have changed since their original construction in the 1960's and 1970's. Today, these existing townhouse developments are legally non - conforming in regard to several development standards of the current HDMF District including setbacks, density, landscape area, parking, etc. Some of the individual units in these townhouse developments, including units 7 -13 Vail Row Houses and the Texas Townhomes, were subdivided into individual townhouse lots years ago under Eagle County jurisdiction. The Town of Vail has treated these individually platted units as independent development sites, rather than as one unit in a larger comprehensive townhouse project. The standards of the Town's HDMF District were intended to be applied to comprehensive multiple - family development sites (such as multiple - family condominium buildings), and were not designed to be applied to the individual units of a multiple - family building. For example, the HDMF District requires 20 foot side setbacks (i.e. a total of 40 linear feet of lot width) for attached, but individually platted townhouses that have lots only 20 feet wide. In this scenario, the side setbacks overlap and apply to the entire development site thus rendering the property unbuildable without variances. Town of Vail Page 3 Additionally, many existing townhouses originally constructed in the 1960's and 1970's do not meet many of today's real estate market expectations. The challenges associated with remodeling these existing townhouses range from technical engineering and structural deficiencies to aesthetic and livability issues such as low ceiling heights. Many of these issues are not easily addressed in a remodel construction project compared to a demo /rebuild of the townhouse dwelling unit. Many of these existing individual townhouse dwelling units already meet or exceed the currently allowable 0.76 GRFA ratio for their lot size in the HDMF District. This situation is due to original construction occurring under previously less restrictive zoning requirements and the construction of additions utilizing the Town's 250 Ordinance and Interior Conversion additional GRFA policies. While The 250 Ordinance and Interior Conversion policies created incentives for redevelopment, they also created inequities between properties in the same zone district and within the same development. Should a homeowner choose to demo /rebuild their existing townhouse dwelling unit, the unit must be reconstructed in conformance with the 0.76 allowable GRFA limit of the High Density Multiple - Family District. The homeowner could not reconstruct the existing floor area associated with previous 250 Ordinance or Interior Conversion additions. Additionally, if a homeowner chose to demo /rebuild their townhouse dwelling unit they would no longer be eligible to construct future 250 Ordinance or Interior Conversion additions since the dwelling unit would no longer qualify as being constructed prior to 1995. Changes to the existing HDMF District or the establishment of a new zone district are necessary to address current homeowners' concerns about loosing floor area development rights if pursuing a demo /rebuild of their dwelling unit. Amendments to the HDMF District would affect numerous properties throughout Vail, while a new zone district could be targeted to only apply to these existing townhouse properties in Vail Village. WHAT DOES THE VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN RECOMMEND? Staff believes the following goals, objectives, and policies of the Vail Village Master Plan are applicable to the proposed new Vail Village Townhouse District: CHAPTER V. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTION STEPS GOAL #1 Encourage high quality, redevelopment while preserving unique architectural scale of the village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. Obiective 1.2. Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Policy 1.2.1: Additional development may be allowed as identified by the Action Plan and as is consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guide Plan. Obiective 1.4. Recognize the "historic" importance of the architecture, structures, landmarks, plazas and features in preserving the character of Vail Village. Town of Vail Page 4 The following master plan recommendations from the Vail Village Master Plan are applicable to the properties considered for the new Vail Village Townhouse District: CHAPTER VII: Vail Village Sub -Areas East Gore Creek Sub -Area ( #6) EAST MIEAPgVV _... [7F�IVE - 7. 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. While the level of development in East Gore Creek is generally greater than that allowed under existing zoning, 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 green space 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 pedestrianization 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 significant impacts upon portions of Sub -Areas 7 and 10. Town of Vail Page 5 WHAT DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND POLICIES SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE EXISTING TOWNHOUSE PROPERTIES LOCATED IN THE VAIL VILLAGE? In reviewing the Galvin's previous special development district and townhouse zone district applications, the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council addressed the following policy questions: Should the Town of Vail adopt a new zoning district specifically designed to regulate existing townhouse properties in Vail Village or should these properties continue to be zoned High Density Multiple Family District? Previously, both the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council recommended that a new zone district should be established to specifically regulate the existing townhouse properties in Vail Village. Does the Planning and Environmental Commission still recommend that a new zone district should be established? 2. If the Town of Vail were to adopt a new zone district, should this district economically incentivise the redevelopment of the existing townhouse properties in Vail Village? Previously, both the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council recommended that a new zone district should create some incentives for the redevelopment of existing townhouse properties. Does the Planning and Environmental Commission still recommend that some incentives for redevelopment should be included in a new zone district? 3. If the Town of Vail were to adopt a new zone district, should this district maintain the existing character of the townhouse properties in Vail Village? Previously, both the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council recommended that a new zone district should maintain the neighborhood character of the existing townhouse properties. Does the Planning and Environmental Commission still recommend that the existing neighborhood character should be preserved by new zone district? In reviewing the Galvin's previous special development district and townhouse zone district applications, the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council recommended that the three previous policies decisions above could be achieved by implementing the following amendments to the Vail Town Code and the Vail Village Master Plan: • Increasing development rights to reduce nonconformities and the need for future variances. • Increasing development rights to reduce inequities created by previous variances and previous 250 Ordinance /Interior Conversion additions. Town of Vail Page 6 • Establishing zoning standards that differentiate between townhouse buildings and individually platted townhouse lots within a building. • Basing lot area calculations on "site area" rather than the more restrictive "buildable area". • Reducing the minimum lot area standards for individually platted townhouse lots within a building. • Eliminating side setback requirements between adjoining individually platted townhouse lots within a building. • Reducing setback requirements to match the existing built conditions. • Basing density calculations on "site area" rather than the more restrictive "buildable area". • Increasing the allowable density standards to match existing built conditions. • Basing GRFA calculations on "site area" rather than the more restrictive "buildable area". • Facilitating "demo /rebuild" redevelopment without the loss of existing development potential by eliminating "250 Ordinance" and "Interior Conversion" additions and adjusting the GRFA formula to include an equivalent floor area potential. • Increasing the allowable GRFA above current levels. • Reducing the minimum landscape area standards. • Modifying the parking standards to allow existing surface parking conditions to continue in the front setback and street right -of -way. • Establishing design guidelines to preserve the existing neighborhood character. (This policy was recommended by the Vail Town Council after the Planning and Environmental Commission's review of the previous Galvin applications) Does the Planning and Environmental Commission still recommend that these general amendments to the Zoning Regulations and the Vail Village Master Plan be implemented? Should the Planning and Environmental Commission still recommend implementing these general zoning amendments, Staff intends to discuss the details of these proposed amendments at up- coming Commission work sessions. For example, if the Town of Vail Page 7 Commission still recommends adopting a new zone district with different gross residential floor area (GRFA) allowances than the existing HDMF District, Staff recommends a work session to discuss the appropriate standards for the new district: ratios of 1.25 vs 1.35 vs 1.50; repeal or maintain the 250 Ordinance and Interior Conversion provisions; etc. Further, if the Planning and Environmental Commission still recommends implementing these general master plan amendments, Staff intends to discuss in the detail the proposed design guidelines intended to preserve the existing neighborhood character by addressing development patterns, architectural themes, building form and massing, street edge, building facades, cantilevered floor areas, roof pitches and ridges, fences and site walls, landscaping, deck rails, parking, etc. IV. RECOMMENDATION As this is a work session, Staff recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission listens to the Staff presentation, asks questions, requests any additional information needed for the review of this application, and then tables this items to its September 26, 2011 public hearing for further deliberation. Town of Vail Page 8 ili I Ir' Maudello Planning Group July 28, 201 1 Planning and Environmental Commission c/o Bill Gibson, AICP Planner 2 Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81620 Re: Table of Contents to Presentation — Town House Zone District Dear Planning and Environmental Commission: Attached to this letter is a copy of the presentation that we made to the PEC on July 25, 2011. We added a cover page to the presentation with a table of contents. We believe this presentation can be used as a reference document throughout the review of the new Town House Zone District. We appreciate the opportunity to work with staff to reintroduce this topic to the PEC. Staff has done an outstanding job balancing all of the input and direction it has received from the public and Town Council over the last year or two. We believe the product that has been produced by staff positively reflects this hard work and the character of the neighborhood. As evidence, we only have two recommended changes to the proposed regulations and guidelines. As a next step, we urge the PEC first dive into the details of the new Town House Zone District proposal in its entirety as overviewed in the attached PDF and more fully written in the draft ordinance and resolution prepared by staff. The proposals host many thoughtful trade -offs and compromises already orchestrated by the Town's staff with suggestions that came forth from Vail architects, planning professionals, urban design consultants, and homeowners. We think the PEC will find a balanced set of new zoning rules and design guidelines proposed for Vail's new Town House Zone District when it delves into its many aspects. Thanks again for being given an opportunity to participate in this process. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me. Sincerely, Dominic F. Mauriello, AICP Principal O O ct • 1.

Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail Row Houses, Texas Townhomes, Vail Trails East and West 20 minutes A request for the review of a preliminary plan and a final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13 -3, Major Subdivisions, Vail Town Code, to allow for amendments to the existing Parcels A through F and Units 1 through 3 of the Residences at Briar Patch, and the creation of Parcels G and H of the Residences at Briar Patch for the purposes of preserving open space and mitigating high severity rockfall hazards, located at 1446 Buffehr Creek Road; 1386, 1388, and 1390 Briar Patch Lane; 1374 and 1378 Sandstone Drive /Lots G2, G5, and G6, Lion's Ridge Subdivision Filing 2 (Residences at Briar Patch), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC110034) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Approved MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 5 -0 -1 (Pierce recused) Bill Pierce recused himself due to professional conflict. Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff memorandum. Henry Pratt asked how the Town can make a recommendation since the Town is the applicant. Wendy St. Charles, representative of the Briar Patch Association, stated that the associate is in agreement with the Town's application. Commissioner Rediker asked if the Town has worked out negotiations for the land purchase. Wendy St. Charles responded that most negotiations were completed, but the sale was not complete. Commissioner Rediker asked if the land sale was contingent upon the approval of new parcels and building envelopes. Bill Gibson responded that the new envelopes were not related to the land purchase. Page 1 Commissioner Rediker asked if Town Staff determined it was appropriate for a change in building envelopes to be included with the creation of the new parcel. Bill Gibson responded that the creation of the new parcels and building envelope changes was appropriate to be reviewed together as they could be approved independently of each other should the Commission feel that one was appropriate and the other was not. Wendy St. Charles added that the HOA want to amend the parcels and building envelopes prior to the Town seeking to purchase Tract G. Commissioner Rediker asked if the Town Attorney has reviewed whose obligation it is to mitigate hazards. He asked whose responsibility and liability it is for the rockfall hazard today and into the future. Bill Gibson responded he was unsure if the Town Attorney had reviewed that matter. Commissioner Cartin asked what is to the west of the proposed Parcel G. Bill Gibson responded it is a Town of Vail owned open space parcel. Commissioner Cartin asked about the Timber Ridge project hazard mitigation and whether the land purchase means the Town has chosen to mitigate with netting. Warren Campbell responded that any mitigation plans would be reviewed by the Commission at a future hearing as was required by a condition placed on the previous approval. Commissioner Cartin added that any addition and construction that is near the ridgeline and visible from below is not favorable. Wendy St. Charles stated that the HOA worked with the Town to ensure no additional ridgeline development. Commissioner Cartin asked about when there is a hazard, who is responsible for mitigation. Bill Gibson explained the Town Code process and procedures required for hazard mitigation. The Town does not typically mitigate hazards on private property. Commissioner Kurz asked why the hazard has not already been mitigated. Gibson responded that there is no Town Code requirement that the HOA mitigate a hazard affecting a neighboring property. Commissioner Pratt asked what rules the town has to administer and regulate envelopes. Wendy St. Charles stated that the restrictions are on the plat. Commissioner Rediker stated he understands the goals of the homeowners. He stated the Town's portion of the deal is not a good deal. The parcel is being purchased with taxpayer money to mitigate issues that are the responsibility of the current owners. Commissioner Pratt stated that he agrees with Commissioner Rediker. Commissioners Cartin and Hopkins agreed with these statements. Page 2 George Ruther stated that the Vail Town Council and legal Staff have discussed this issue at length and feel this is an appropriate purchase for the Town. Commissioner Cartin stated that the Commissioners should see the mitigation options for Timber Ridge. He would also like more legal input at a future hearing regarding mitigation liability. George Ruther stated that the Vail Town Council decided to acquire this property in order to have control of the property and determine mitigation versus dealing with another landowner. He stated that it could be a less expensive option than other mitigation methods. Commissioner Pratt stated that this is not a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, but rather a final review and final decision. 20 minutes 2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for amendments to the Town of Vail Land Use Plan Map, pursuant to Chapter VIII, Implementation, Town of Vail Land Use Plan, to allow for a land use category change from Medium Density Residential to Open Space; and a request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for a rezoning from Residential Cluster District to Natural Area Preservation District, located at 1448 Buffehr Creek Road /Lot G, Residences at Briar Patch Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC110042) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Recommendation of approval MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 5 -1 -0 ( Rediker opposed) Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff memorandum Commissioner Rediker asked why the applicant is the Town of Vail, when the property is not currently in their ownership. Bill Gibson stated that the Town can impose zoning on any property owner. He further explained that the plat was noticed prior to the rezoning and with the time spent on the plat the application for the major subdivision "caught -up" with the rezoning application. The intent of the proposed condition was to make any recommendation forwarded by the Commission contingent upon the recording of the related plat. Wendy St. Charles, representative of the Residences at Briar Patch HOA, stated that the contract stipulates rezoning and that she felt it was appropriate for the Commission to consider the rezoning at this time. Commissioner Pratt clarified that the Commission is only making a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, who will determine if the zoning is appropriate for the property. 45 minutes 3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council 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, Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District, and setting forth details in regard thereto; and a request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on proposed amendments to Chapter VII, Vail Village Sub - Areas, East Gore Creek Sub - Area ( #6), Vail Village Master Plan, pursuant to Chapter VIII, Implementation and Amendment, Page 3 Vail Village Master Plan, to include recommendations related to a new Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC110040, PEC110041) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to August 22, 2011 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 5 -0 -0 Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. He clarified the intent of the new zone district and that today's hearing was a work session. Mr. Gibson covered several elements of the application that had changed since the Commission had last seen the application. Dominic Mauriello, representing Chris Galvin, owner in the Vail Rowhouses, gave a power point presentation highlighting several suggestions his client has regarding Staff's proposed Vail Village Townhouse District. The presentation included the history of the zoning for the properties, history of the Commission actions on the previous SDD applications and zone district establishment. The presentation covered the architectural standards and guidelines proposed with in the Vail Village Master Plan amendments. The applicant suggested changes to the building step backs, the possible elimination of GRFA and reliance on Design Guidelines, and if that is not palatable why a 1.5 GRFA ratio is appropriate. An argument was made that the bulk and mass created by a 1.5 GRFA ratio was not visually distinguishable from 1.35 or 1.25 GRFA ratios. Junn Dunn, attorney representing Dolph Bridgewater, owner of Vail Row House Unit 11, asked Bill Gibson to clarify that the previous Ordinance that was approved upon first reading on was no longer proceeding forward and had been withdrawn. The application before the Commission was a new consideration of this application. Dolph Bridgewater, owner of Unit 11 in the Vail Row House, spoke to the background on his involvement in the previous applications. He spoke to his notification with regard to the latest application and inability to prepare a response in time for the packets. He has provided a written response to the application for the hearing today. He covered the history of how the application grew from addressing several equity issues to additional development potential. In his opinion this application represents bad public policy. Forcing redevelopment for a non - public goal he does not understand. There is not a stated public goal in conjunction with the application. People visit Vail because of an aesthetic and policy is needed to protect the "historic district" which he believes his property is included within. Commissioner Rediker encouraged Mr. Bridgewater to prepare a statement for the next public hearing. He further questioned if the Town has heard from any other members of these projects regarding their support or lack of support for the application. He felt that it would be appropriate to provide notice to all the properties being considered for inclusion in a new Vail Village Townhome District. Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Homeowners Association, wanted to make it clear that the Board of his association was not taking an official stance on this proposal. He has been speaking to multiple methods of addressing the issues and hand in this application. He highlighted a generational division between older individuals who are reluctant to change and the younger generation seeking a different vision. He stated that we need to think through Vail Village and how we want to see it change and remain intact for future generations, and leaving it intact does not mean leaving it the same. Henry Pratt had to depart at 4:00 pm and was not present for the vote upon the items conclusion. Page 4 Commissioner Hopkins stated her familiarity with several of the projects under consideration for this new zone district. Many of the projects are condominium ownership and she believe that this needs to be addressed. She believes the zone district should have a basis in a historic vein verse a townhouse district. She is concerned about the two story step back at 20 feet creating an undesirable outcome. She does not believe that the fagade articulation will be enough. She does not like the first come first served approached to the front fagade. She is also concerned about six story elevation on the rear of the buildings. Commissioner Cartin is complex and not all properties will achieve the same amount of deduction. These properties are townhouse style, not true townhouse development. Are we mashing elements together which will create future headaches. He does not support reducing the step back to 5 -7 feet on the upper floor. These projects are a unique to what is surrounding them from the Village core to Manor Vail. He recommended cleaning up parking easements and public road adjacent to the tennis courts. He is cautious about allowing the buildings to get to much larger. Commissioner Pierce stated that it feels like a project in search of zoning. He will be looking at heights below 43 feet. He suggested that 38 feet is about as high as the projects should get. The result is going to need to be a balance between GRFA, height, setbacks, site coverage, etc. Made a comment about the inset deck and what the Code says about enclosed are being counted towards GRFA and proper design. Commissioner Rediker stated that many of his concerns had been identified by other commissioners. He is not opposed to some additional height and GRFA to accompany redevelopment. He does not believe it is possible to achieve 6 stories at the rear, but the concern is his as well. He would like to understand how the GRFA ratios has been bouncing around over all the hearings. He does not understand why landscaping area is being reduced to 20% from 30 %. He did not understand how a difference in 1.25 and 1.5 GRFA was beneficial beyond additional value to the lots. Commisisoner Kurz identified concerns about the uniformity in the design guidelines creating too much uniformity and that the character of the neighborhood is the difference. He believes the proposal has gone past the scope of the original challenge. He still believes that 1.35 ratio is appropriate and reached after great deliberation. Commissioner Hopkins stated that height is a concern. Jim Lamont mentioned that a future conveyance Chalet Road may need to be addressed by the Town for as part of this application and the overall Village master plan n i ng/streetscape process. 20 minutes 4. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for prescribed regulations amendments, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for corrections to Section 12 -6F -3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow communications antennas and appurtenant equipment as a conditional use in the Low Density Multiple Family Districts; and for prescribed regulations amendments, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for corrections to Section 12 -6E -2, Permitted Uses; Section 12 -6F -2, Permitted Uses; Section 12 -6G -2, Permitted Uses; and Section 12 -13 -4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit (EHU) Type, Vail Town Code, to allow Type III Employee Housing Units (EHUs) as a permitted use in the Residential Cluster (RC), Low Density Multiple Family (LDMF), and Medium Density Multiple Family (MDMF) Districts, and setting forth details in regard thereto.

Rachel Friede made a presentation per the staff memorandum. Barney Dill, representing Joni Taylor Real Estate, described the success of their business and the need to have office space in the village. Commissioner Rediker inquired about the acquisition of parking. Mr. Dill discussed how and where they were going to acquire additional parking spaces in the Gateway. Commissioner Pratt inquired into the application statement regarding this not being a commercial establishment.

A request for the review of a major exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12 -7H -7, Major Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for additions to, and the exterior renovation of, the Lion Square Lodge East, located at 660 West Lionshead Place 1 /Lot 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, Addition 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC110047) Applicant: Lion Square Lodge East, represented by Bill Anderson Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Approved with condition(s) MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Hopkins VOTE: 6 -1 -0 (Pierce opposed) Page 1 CONDITIONS: 1. This approval of a major exterior alteration is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail design review approval for this proposal. 2. Prior to requesting a temporary or final certificate of occupancy for this proposal, the applicant must obtain Town of Vail approval of an amendment final plat to update the Condominium Map to show the improvements associated with this proposal. 3. Prior to requesting a temporary or final certificate of occupancy for this proposal, the applicant shall mitigate 1,365 sq. ft. of employee housing floor area in accordance with the requirements of the Chapter 12 -24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town Code. Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff memorandum. Chip Melick made a presentation highlighting the elements of the proposed redevelopment. Commissioner Pierce inquired as to the reconstruction of the below grade units. Mr. Melick explained that there would be light wells included in the new design. Bill Gibson asked Mr. Melick to discuss how much each addition was extending out from the face of the existing fagade. Commissioner Pierce stated that it would have been helpful to have the site staked for the site visit. He stated he would need to see the staking of the building prior to voting on the project. He expressed concern about the extent of the stair and elevator tower encroachment towards the parking area and the amount of area between the parking lot and the building fagade. Jeff Babb, representing Vail Resorts, spoke to the desire to work with the neighbor and mentioned concerns about landscaping encroaching into the ski yard. Commissioner Pierce asked Mr. Melick to discuss the landscaping plan. Commissioner Pratt inquired if landscaping was located within the assumed setback on the ski yard. Chip Melick stated that there was no new landscaping in the assumed setback. Commissioner Pratt asked for additional detail on the proposed roofs over each new entry. He asked whether the roofs are cantilevered and whether they extend out to the edge of the parking area. Mr. Melick explained how the roofs would be constructed over two entries and the deck would be extending out to cover the other three entries. Commissioner Pierce inquired as to the form of the building on the north elevation. He asked if there were any changes to the form of the north elevation. Mr. Melick stated that there were largely no changes to the overall form of the north elevation. Commissioner Pierce stated that it feels like the east and west facades have dramatically changed and the north and south facades are retaining some foreign elements which are not seen in the new design. He added that he felt that he would benefit from having a 3 -D or physical model. Page 2 Commissioner Pratt stated that most of his comments were largely architectural, which was not within the Commission's purview (it's a Design Review Board issue) . He stated that the roof forms over the new entry were of concern. He added that the project is an improvement. Bill Gibson explained that the Commission is able to comment on roof form elements as it is in the context of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Commissioner Kurz stated that the proposal was an improvement and not too divergent from the previously approved plan. Commissioner Hopkins stated that she felt that the project was an improvement and was in compliance with the Master Plan. 20 minutes 3. A request for review of a major exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12 -713-7, Major Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the addition of GRFA (Rucksack Building), located at 288 Bridge Street, Unit R -2 /1-ot D, Block 5, Vail Village Filing , and setting forth details in regard thereto.

This approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail design review approval for this proposal. Bill Pierce recused himself from items 3 and 4 and he is currently involved in litigation regarding this project. Rachel Dimond made a presentation per the Staff memorandum describing the requests for both units as they are integrally related. Mark Donaldson, representing the applicant, made a presentation on the requests. He stated that his presentation would focus on the expansion of the fifth floor on the south side of the tower where there is no support from Staff for the addition. He also responded to Mr. Dunkleman's letter which expressed some concerns from owners in the A &D Building to the north. Commissioner Kurz stated that he benefitted from the clarity around at he addition to the south side of the tower. He felt that the proposal made the best use of some difficult space. Commissioners Cartin and Hopkins agreed with Commissioner Kurz. Paul Dunkleman, representing the neighboring A &D Building, went through their concerns including railing height and a potential hot tub adjacent to his client's property. Commissioner Rediker asked Mr. Dunkleman to clarify his concern regarding the deck railings and whether the issues were related to views. Mr. Dunkleman stated there are no views from his clients' windows but was concerned that the railing be high enough to prevent falling. Page 3 Mark Donaldson clarified that the railing would be a solid wall so as to not create a ladder effect for children to climb over. Margo Mullalaly stated that their family is very quiet and just wants to improve their property. 20 minutes 4.
