Elk Meadows Subdivision - 1624, 1626, 1628, 1630, and 1632 Buffehr Creek Road 60 minutes A request for review of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 16, Elk Meadows, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for changes to building sites, changes to architectural guidelines, increase in GRFA, and revisions to the on-site EHU requirement, located at 1624, 1626, 1628, 1630, and 1632 Buffehr Creek Road/ Lots 1-5, Elk Meadows Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130005) Applicant: Elk Meadows Development, LLC, represented by Sharon Cohn Planner: Warren Campbell ACTION: Approved with condition(s) MOTION: Cartin SECOND: Rediker VOTE: 4-1-0 (Pierce opposed) CONDITION(S): 1. The amendments to Special Development District No. 16, Elk Meadows, shall not be effective until the major subdivision is approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission and is recorded by the Town of Vail at the Eagle County Clerk and Recorders office. 2. The major subdivision amended final plat shall be recorded at the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's office before a building permit is released for any construction on the subdivision, including common area improvements as well as individual residences. 3. The applicant and the Town shall continue to work on the proposed driveway design and have a final solution to be presented in conjunction with the major subdivision application and review. 4. The applicant shall record the deed restriction for the off-site employee housing unit identified as Unit 7-A of the Pitkin Creek Condominiums prior to the submittal of the amended final plat for Elk Meadows to the Town for recording. 5. The applicant shall amend the covenants to remove the architectural design guidelines and reflect the need for compliance with the design standards and guidelines found in the Vail Town Code. Page 1 6. The applicant and Town shall enter into a developer's agreement which shall provide that no building permit shall be submitted to the Town until security is provided by the developer to ensure completion of the common improvements for the development. Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. He clarified that the memo stated that the proposed employee housing unit was two bedrooms which was incorrect. It was a one bedroom unit Sharron Cohn, stated that the intent of the amendments was to make Elk Meadows a better place. She added that she had worked to minimize site disturbance by reducing the impacts of the driveway and cul-de-sac. She added that she was not in agreement with the shifting of Lot 1 to the west to be 15 feet off of the fire truck turn around. Commissioner Rediker inquired into how the 10% GRFA increase impacted the development Warren Campbell explained how the 2004 amendments to GRFA included changes to the methods of calculating and measuring GRFA. He added that one of the changes in measuring of GRFA was the inclusion of exterior walls in the calculation of GRFA. To account for this change a 10% GRFA increase was included in the methodology for calculating GRFA. As Elk Meadows has the allowable GRFA established by the SDD and the method for measuring was changed there was negative impact to the size of the dwelling units by 10%. The proposal to increase the GRFA on each lot by 10% resulted in the originally indented bulk and mass being maintained. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to staff's reasoning for recommending that Lot 1 be shift west from the proposed location. Warren Campbell explained that staff believed it would reduce site disturbances, protect more of the open meadow, and achieve a standard 15 foot side yard setback between the structure on Lot 1 and the paved fire truck turn around. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to why staff's recommendation was not included in the conditions and how important was the shift to the west. Warren Campbell explained that it was not included in the conditions, but staff was asking the Commission to consider the change. He added that a shift to the west was beneficial, but would not change staff's recommendation. He concluded by stating that if the Commission felt it were appropriate to make the shift in Lot 1 it could be included as a condition. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to how it was determined who would be responsible for providing the EHU. Warren Campbell explained that he did not know who was providing the EHU, nor did have any impact on the need for the EHU and the staff recommendation that it be provided in conjunction with the recording of the plat. Commissioner Rediker asked if the Housing Coordinator, Nina Timm, had reviewed the proposal. Page 2 Commissioner Campbell stated that the proposal had been reviewed by the Housing Coordinator and she and the planning staff agreed that the proposal was in compliance with the Vail Town Code. Commissioner Bird asked about the ability for the lots within Elk Meadows to construct an EHU on each site. Warren Campbell stated that the SDD did allow for an EHU to be built on each site in addition to the one off-site EHU being proposed. He added that with the SDD requirement for all development to occur with the platted lot and an enclosed parking space for the EHU it would be difficult to fit an EHU onto the platted lots. Commissioner Bird stated a concern about the need for a guardrail along Buffehr Creek Road to ensure vehicles did not go off the road and into the structures that would be built adjacent to the road. Warren Campbell stated that staff had noted the concern and would bring up the conversation with the Public Works staff. He added that staff and the applicant would have an answer regarding the need for a guardrail, based upon a public works review, in conjunction with the subdivision application. Commissioner Pierce stated that he shared the concern regarding the guardrail. He stated his support for all the elements of the request with the exception of the relocation of Lot 1 to the south side of the driveway. He felt that the proposed location of Lot 1 broke up the meadow and created a separation of the structures verses the initial intent to cluster the homes on the north side of the driveway. Commissioner Cartin expressed concern with the paved fire truck turn around being out of place. He inquired as to whether or not a different material could be used? Warren Campbell stated that he could work with the fire depart to explore options. Staff and the applicant would have an answer in conjunction with the subdivision application. Commissioner Pierce suggested grass-crete as option and as a material used at the Liftside in Cascade Village. Commissioner Hopkins stated that she had a concern with the relocation of Lot 1 to the south side of the driveway as it breaks up the meadow. She suggested that Lot 1 may be more appropriately relocated at the eastern terminus of the driveway. Sharon Cohn stated that she felt the current proposal achieves greater continuity and preserves the views of the meadow. She added that the relocation of Lot 1 as suggested by Hopkins would place the structure in close proximity to the parking lot for The Valley which was un slightly. She added that the home in the Lia Zniemer subdivision were located on the south side of the driveway which did not appear to break up the meadow inappropriately. Commissioner Rediker stated that he was not terribly concerned with the relocation of Lot 1 as the proposal was an improvement when compared to the initial development plan having all ten lots on the south side of the driveway (plan at the time of annexation). He did state a concern with the use of asphalt for the driveway and he asked that the applicant consider not using coal tar sealant in the construction. Page 3 2.

Information Update Commissioner Rediker spoke to a concern and desire to have the Town of Vail prohibit the use of coal tar asphalt sealants due to their negative impacts on the environment. He asked how he could start this process. Warren Campbell stated that he could begin by advocate for the issue with Council members and staff. He added that he should pull together the research he has done on the issue, show what alternatives exist and are viable available in our region. The Commissioners expressed their support of pursuing this concern. Page 4 Commissioner Pierce spoke to a concern and need to revegitate properties impacted by the beetle kill tree removal. He recognized it was a long term project, but efforts need to begin now to re- establish the character of affected neighborhoods. Commissioner Rediker asked why the trees were removed. Was it for defensible space or just to mitigate the beetle killed trees? Warren Campbell stated the trees were removed to reduce dead tree fall hazards, aesthetics, and defensible space. He added that Vail does a Trees for Vail program which could help. He said he would speak to Kristen Bertuglia to discuss the comment and potential come up with some ideas. Commissioner Pierce stated a concern about the 1-70 road cuts that had never been revegitated and were a continued eye sore. He stated the areas of concern were the road cuts west of were the Frontage Road went under the interstate at the eastern end of the golf course. He pointed out the road cuts near Fire Station 3 and the post office as an example of his concern. He concluded that the landscape has long been scarred and a solution is needed. The other Commissioners expressed their agreement. Commissioner Cartin asked for an update on the stream tract project and the removal of improvements from Town owned stream tract. Warren Campbell stated that enforcement has been ongoing and progress is being made. He added that per Town Council direction signs will be going along the shared property lines between Town owned stream tract and private property to clearly delineated the ownership boundaries this spring. 7.

Page 5 K) TOWN OF VAIL ' Memorandum TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: March 25, 2013 SUBJECT: A request for review of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 16, Elk Meadows, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for changes to building sites, changes to architectural guidelines, an increase in GRFA, and revisions to the on-site EHU requirement, located at 1624, 1626, 1628, 1630, and 1632 Buffehr Creek Road/ Lots 1-5, Elk Meadows Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130005) Applicant: Elk Meadows Development, LLC, represented by Sharon Cohn Planner: Warren Campbell I. SUMMARY The purpose of this public hearing is to allow the applicant, Elk Meadows Development, LLC, represented by Sharon Cohn, to introduce four proposed amendments to the adopted Elk Meadows Special Development District (SDD) No. 16 (Attachment A). The four proposed amendments are: • The relocation and reconfiguration of Lots 1, 2, and 3; • Revisions to the architectural guidelines; • Revisions to the on-site employee housing requirement; and • An increase in the allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA). The applicant has provided a written description of the request, dated March 20, 2013, which has been provided for review (Attachment B). Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VI of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, of the major amendment to SDD No. 16, as proposed, subject to the findings noted in Section VII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Elk Meadows Development, LLC, represented by Sharon Cohn, is requesting approval of four proposed amendments to the Elk Meadows Special Development District (SDD) No. 16. The four proposed amendments are: 1. RELOCATION AND RECONFIGURATION OF BUILDING ENVELOPES The applicant is proposing to relocate and reconfigure Lots 1, 2, and 3, of the Elk Meadows SDD. Presently, a single family residence is constructed in Lot 4. All other lots are vacant. A copy of the recorded subdivision for Elk Meadows is attached for reference (Attachment C). The applicant's proposal is to relocate Lot 1 to the south side of the private drive allowing for additional space to move Lots 2 and 3 east along the north side of the private driveway. The relocated lots would be reconfigured to pull the future development of the Lots 2 and 3 away from the steep slopes adjacent to Buffehr Creek Road and increase the distances between the structures on Lots 2, 3, and 4. The relocated and reconfigured lots maintain their current lot areas as designated on the recorded plat. A copy of the proposed relocated and reconfigured building envelopes is attached for reference (Attachment D). 2. REVISIONS TO THE ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES The applicant is proposing to eliminate the adopted architectural guidelines and utilize the design standards and guidelines found in Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code. The design standards and guidelines in Title 14 permit a greater diversity in the architectural character of the development. The current architectural guidelines require the construction of log cabin style structures, which is best exhibited by the structure on the Lot 4. The language below is proposed to be stricken from the SDD. Ordinance No. 17. Series of 1990 -�e�,er��ativ■�:Team_*,:�Er_*e■rsrsr_*earrr_sr_*e■rsrs - - ._ Invi .. light" styles 6 All reefs shall have eyeFhaRgs of at least 1 feet in eFder te_ PFGtGGt walls and wall epeRiRgs from rain and GREW tG GGRtFibute to the b iildiRg'o nhaFaGtor Town of Vail Page 2 3. REVISIONS TO THE EMPLOYEE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS The applicant is proposing a revision to the SDD requirement for the provision of a single on-site employee housing unit (EHU). As the first structure in the SDD has already been constructed, the EHU is currently required to be built in conjunction with the next structure. The SDD ordinance states that "the EHU shall be a minimum of 400 square feet and no more than 500 square feet of GRFA. " The applicant's proposal is to permit the required on-site EHU to be provided off-site within the Town of Vail. The applicant is proposing to deed restrict an approximately 700 square foot dwelling unit currently located at Unit 7-A within the Pitkin Creek Condominium Association. 4. GRFA AMENDMENT The applicant is proposing to increase the allowable GRFA in the SDD by 10%. The applicant's justification for the increase is to capture changes made to the methodology for calculating GRFA in 2004. In 2004 the method for measuring GRFA was amended to include the thickness of exterior walls in a structure. The regulations determining allowable GRFA were adjust up by 10% to capture the amount of wall area within a structure. The result of the applicant's proposal is an increase in the allowable GRFA on each building envelope from 3,200 square feet to 3,520 square feet maximum In keeping with the original intent of the adopted SDD, any unused GRFA from a lot cannot be transferred to another lot within the SDD. III. BACKGROUND On July 26, 1973 Eagle County Commissioners approve The Valley preliminary plan and PUD for 150 units of 61.2 acres. On May 24, 1978 Eagle County Commissioners grant an extension of The Valley PUD as 120 of the approved units had not been constructed in the three year time frame associated with the PUD approval. On March 26, 1980 a PUD plan and protective covenants document is filed with Eagle County indicating that Phase III was subject to a land use restriction of 10 units and 16,000 square feet. On March 27, 1980 Resolution 80-20 allowed the phases of The Valley to be sold separately without further compliance with the subdivision regulations. Town of Vail Page 3 April 16, 1980 the Eagle County Planning Commission recommended approval of the sketch plan for Elk Meadows. The Commission suggested that the units be tucked into the hillside on the northeast side of the project and that the developer use berming and landscaping to buffer the project. April 16, 1980 Town of Vail staff sent a letter to the Eagle County Planning Commission which recommended a tighter clustered layout of the buildings toward the hillside. Vail staff recognized the steep hillside and sensitivity of the meadow area. In December of 1980 the Town of Vail annexed the West Vail area including Phase III of The Valley through Ordinance No. 43, Series of 1980. It was subsequently zoned by Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1981. On September 11, 1985 The Valley was de -annexed from the Town of Vail. On May 11, 1987 The Valley was re -annexed into the Town of Vail. On July 7, 1987 the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1987 establishing SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. The approved development plan was for nine (9) dwelling units which were comprised of five (5) single family and two (2) duplex units. The maximum allowable GRFA was 16,000 square feet on the seven building envelopes. On September 15, 1987 the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 32, Series of 1987 which repealed and reenacted the SDD with a reduction in the number of permitted dwelling units. The ordinance identified a maximum of the seven (7) single family dwelling units were permitted on the seven platted building envelopes. The maximum allowable GRFA for the SDD remained at 16,000 square feet divided equally over the seven units. On May 15, 1990 the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990 which repealed and reenacted the SDD with a reduction in the number of permitted dwelling units from seven (7) to five (5). The maximum allowable GRFA remained at 16,000 square feet divided evenly over the five units. Additionally, the ordinance codified revised architectural guidelines designed to result in all structures having a log cabin appearance and an EHU requirement of a single dwelling unit. A copy of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990 is attached for reference (Attachment E) On February 25, 2013, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a work session to discuss the applicant's proposal. At this hearing there was differing suggestions provided on the relocation of Lot 1 and how to best preserve the open space meadow. The Commissioners generally support the elimination of the architectural guidelines, the EHU requirement to be permitted off-site, and the 10% increase in allowable GRFA. Town of Vail Page 4 IJI V.

CRITERIA FOR REVIEW The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed special development district. It shall be the burden of the Town of Vail Page 5 Land Use Zoning North: Residential Residential Cluster South: Residential Residential Cluster East: Residential Residential Cluster West: Residential Residential Cluster VI. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed special development district. It shall be the burden of the Town of Vail Page 5 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: 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. Staff has reviewed the documents on file with the Town in order to understand the SDD as it was initially adopted and amended over the years. With regard to the request to relocate and reconfigure the lots, staff was looking for any discussion regarding the intent and logic associated with the current location of the lots. A letter written by Town of Vail staff, dated April 16, 1980, to the Eagle County Planning Commission was found which recommended a clustered layout of the buildings on the north hillside. The letter recognized the steep hillside and the sensitivity of the meadow area. Staff believes it is clear that there was a goal to protect the open meadow paralleling Buffehr Creek Road throughout The Valley PUD from being developed. A copy of the letter has been attached for review (Attachment F). Elk Meadows was initially Phase III of The Valley PUD adopted by Eagle County, prior to annexation into the town. As a part of Phase III there were to be 10 dwelling units consisting of not more than 16,000 square feet of GRFA. A site plan from 1986 showing the location of the 10 lots has been attached for review (Attachment G). The plan shows nine (9) of the 10 units located on the south side of the private drive in the open meadow. Staff believes there may be benefits to the relocation of Lot 1 to the south side of the private drive. The relocation of Lot 1 allows for Lots 2 and 3 to be shifted eastward providing for a greater separation between each lot. The reconfiguration of Lots 2 and 3 also allows for the future development to be pulled away from the property line, away from the edge of Buffehr Creek Road and its right-of-way, and further out of the steeper slopes adjacent to the road. Additionally, the proposed reconfiguration maintains the originally intended footprints (site coverage) by maintaining the current platted areas, thus resulting in no change to the open space area within SDD No. 16. Staff believes that it would be more in keeping with the intent of the SDD to move the proposed relocated Lot 1 15 feet to the west to be in closer proximity to the fire truck turn -around. Lot 1 is currently located 33 feet east from the paved fire truck turn- around. Staff believes this distance should be reduced to 15 feet to further decrease disturbance to the site. This minor change in the proposed location of Lot 1 results in a consolidation of disturbance on the site and a continuance of the protection of the meadow. Should a relocation and reconfiguration of the lots within Elk Meadows be approved, the applicant will need to file an amended subdivision plat application for review and Town of Vail Page 6 approval prior to submitting an application for a building permit. The amended plat shall be recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's office prior to applying for a building permit. The property records on file with the town contain documents stating that the applicant for SDD No. 16 proposed the architectural guidelines. Previously there were 10 dwelling units approved for the site and architectural continuity would have been important for that density on this site. Design continuity may be less important in a development containing five (5) development lots. With the exception of the multi -family development, The Valley, there is a diversity of architectural styles consistent with the Town's adopted design guidelines. The applicant's proposal to eliminate the architectural guidelines in the SDD results in the architectural guidelines and standards found in Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, governing the designs. The SDD as currently adopted permits a maximum of 3,200 square feet of GRFA on each of the five building envelopes. In 2004, in conjunction with the amendments adopted regarding GRFA, the methodology for measuring GRFA was altered to include the thickness of exterior walls of a structure in the calculation. To account for this change in the methodology for measuring GRFA the town increased the allowable GRFA by 10%. The applicant is proposing to increase the allowable GRFA within the SDD by 10%. This results in an increase in the allowable GRFA from 3,200 square feet to 3,520 square feet per lot (in total 16,000 to 17,600 square feet). Without an increase in GRFA, the properties are effectively reduced by 10% in allowable size to 2,880 square feet (in total 14,400 square feet). Similar requests for consistency in GRFA allowances have been approved on plat restricted GRFA properties throughout town. A similar request was approved for the Eleni Zniemer subdivision to the northwest of Elk Meadows, also on Buffehr Creek Road. Provided that Lot 1 Is relocated as recommended, staff believes the proposed requests to relocate and reconfigure Lots 1, 2, and 3, eliminate the architectural guidelines, and increase GRFA by 10% will have no negative effect on the elements identified in this criterion. The proposed changes will have no negative impact on the neighborhood or the character of the area. The relocation of Lots, 1, 2, and 3 allow for the structures to achieve separations between units which is more indicative of the single-family/duplex development on the Eleni and Lia Zniemer Subdivisions. Additionally, the change to allow for the architecture to be more diverse in compliance with Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, results in development which is more consistent with the single-family/duplex structures on Buffehr Creek Road. The proposed increase to the allowable GRFA will result in no change to the bulk and mass anticipated in the initial adoption of SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Town of Vail Page 7 Since annexation into the Town and the adoption of the SDD, the residential density within Phase III of the Valley (Elk Meadows) has been reduced from a total of 10 dwelling units to 5 dwelling units. The applicant's proposal maintains the total allowable density for SDD No. 16 at five (5) dwelling units and five (5) optional EHUs. Each of the structures to be built on the four vacant lots will be single-family dwelling units with a potential EHU. This is in keeping the residential nature of the Buffehr Creek neighborhood. Staff does not believe there is any negative effect on the surrounding uses and activities created by the proposed amendments. 3. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. The proposed change to the allowable GRFA from 3,200 square feet results in each of the five (5) lots being able to construct a maximum of 3,520 square feet of GRFA. Pursuant to Section 12-10-10, Parking Requirement Schedules, Vail Town Code, a dwelling of this size is required three (3) parking spaces. If the optional EHU were to be constructed on a lot the SDD requires one of the required parking spaces to be within a garage. All units constructed within the SDD will be required to comply with the parking standards. The SDD will be in compliance with this criterion. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. Staff has reviewed the various documents comprising Vail's Comprehensive Plan and found the Vail Land Use Plan to applicable. The Vail Land Use Plan designates Elk Meadows as "Medium Density Residential". The Plan describes Medium Density Residential as follows: The medium density residential category includes housing which would typically be designed as attached units with common walls. Densities in this category would range from 3 to 14 dwelling units per buildable acre. Additional types of uses in this category would include private recreation facilities, private parking facilities and institutional/ public uses such as parks and open space, churches and fire stations. Staff believes the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan are applicable to the proposal to amend SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. 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. 5.2 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. Town of Vail Page 8 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. The Elk Meadows SDD at its currently allowable density of five (5) dwelling units would equate to 0.72 units per acre. This is well below the density identified by the Vail Land Use Plan. Additionally, the Elk Meadows development is allowing for additional growth in an area which is already platted. SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows, includes a requirement for a 400-500 square foot onsite EHU. This requirement was intended to house one employee. The applicant is proposing to allow the EHU to be located off-site. It has been determined that Section 12-13-5, Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Program, Vail Town Code, is not applicable to this request as the EHU is not currently constructed. Additionally, this Code provision is not applicable as the exchange of an on-site EHU results in the dwelling unit capturing and utilizing the previous EHU square footage. The applicant is proposing to deed restrict an approximately 700 square foot dwelling unit off-site to satisfy the EHU mitigation requirement of SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. The proposed unit is 7-A of the Pitkin Creek Condominiums. Pursuant to Section 12- 23-3, Size and Building Requirements, Vail Town Code, a unit of approximately 700 square feet would house 1.75 employees. The proposed unit is a two bedroom unit and could accommodate two employees. Staff believes there is merit to allowing the EHU mitigation to be provided off-site. The proposal to deed restrict a unit in the Pitkin Creek Condominiums will result in a more appropriate location for the required EHU. An EHU located at Pitkin Creek Condominiums will be in close proximity to public transit, grocery store and other commercial opportunities. Staff believes that the provision of the SDD requiring the mitigation of the EHU requirement in conjunction with the next structure should be altered to be in conjunction with the recording of the amended final plat. This allows for the obligation to be addressed prior to the submittal of a building permit and will allow the SDD to move forward at a pace determined by the lot owners. Staff believes that the proposed amendments are in keeping with Vail Land Use Plan and the EHU mitigation policy of the Town of Vail. The proposal will remain in concert with the identified medium density residential land use designation. Furthermore, the relocation of the EHU off-site to a location provided public transportation and commercial access and the ability to house two (2) employees is in keeping with the Town's affordable housing policies. Town of Vail Page 9 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. Elk Meadows is located within a High Severity Rockfall Hazard. The extent of the identified hazard is along the north portion of the site. All the lots are within the extents of the hazard. A site specific hazard report was prepared for the development in conjunction with the previous reviews and approvals. Pursuant to the covenants for the development and the Vail Town Code the recommendations of the site specific hazard report are to be implemented into the design and construction of each structure. The structure on Lot 4 has implemented the mitigation recommended. Staff believes that the Elk Meadows covenants and Vail Town Code will ensure that the mitigation of the geologic hazard will occur within the development and thus have no negative effect on this criterion. 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. The proposal to relocate and reconfigure Lots 1, 2, and 3 will not decrease the area devoted to open space. The relocated and reconfigured lots will maintain the currently platted areas. The proposal to change the driveway design from a cul-de-sac to a 90 degree turn -around will significantly reduce the site disturbance within the development. The change from a cul-de-sac to a 90 degree turn -around results in approximately 6,500 square feet less disturbance. The Elk Meadows SDD included provisions for the protection of the open space through the incorporation of language defining where built improvements can be located. The SDD identifies that the structure, including roof eaves, decks, walls, etc. shall not encroach beyond the building envelope. Staff believes the proposed changes will continue to protect the goal of protecting the meadow from disturbance. While there is a change in the configuration and location of the Lots 1, 2, and 3 there will be no less area designated and protected as open space and left undeveloped. Staff believes the design features of the Elk Meadows SDD comply with this criterion. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. A design for the curb cut off of Buffehr Creek Road and the driveway was adopted with the original Elk Meadows SDD. The curb -cut access to four (4) of the lots in Elk Meadows is already n place. Approximately 260 feet of the driveway has been constructed at 20 feet in width. The proposal is to continue the driveway pavement at 20 feet in width with 3 feet of packed gravel on each side for a total width of 26 feet.. Town of Vail Page 10 Pursuant to Section 14-3-1, Residential and Commercial Access, Driveway and Parking Standards, Vail Town Code, access to a development with four (4) or more dwelling units is required to be 20 feet wide. Access for three (3) or less units required to be 12 feet. Staff believes there are negative impacts associated with the proposal to continue a 20 -foot paved driveway past Lot 4. Staff believes it is appropriate to narrow the driveway past Lot 4 to 16 feet in paved width with 2 feet of packed gravel on each side for a total width of 20 feet. This change results in less overall site disturbance, better aesthetics within the meadow and development, and improved environmental benefits. The Vail Fire Department does require fire staging areas. Staff will work with the Fire Department to continue to reduce the paved driveway surface yet still address staging needs. The four (4) lots utilizing the shared driveway will have will have a paved parking/access area in front of each lot. The depth of these parking/garage access areas is approximately 24 feet. This depth allows for vehicles to have 2.5 feet of space between the car and the garage door and the car and the shared driveway. This will prevent a car parked in front of a garage from impeding traffic flow on the driveway. Vehicular traffic on the driveway will be minimal and it is anticipated that pedestrians will utilize the driveway for circulation. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. Elk Meadows SDD has an adopted landscaping preliminary plan. This plan shows the existing trees to remain, landscaping to be added adjacent to the intersection of the driveway with Buffehr Creek Road, and adjacent to each home. The intent of the landscaping preliminary plan is to leave the meadow in its natural state with native plants and grasses. The plan has been revised to depict the relocation of Lot 1 and is attached for reference (Attachment H). Staff believes that the landscaping preliminary plan serves to protect the open space meadow from disturbance and the addition of landscaping. The proposed plan results in large areas of the meadow being protected. Staff believes the proposal will have no negative effect on this criterion. 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. Within the Elk Meadows SDD phasing was designed to occur as each individual lot owner was ready to construct. The construction of the dwelling unit on Lot 4 was only required to build that portion of driveway which provided access to the home. The construction of the next structure will be completing the construction of the driveway Town of Vail Page 11 VII.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS: 1. Revisions to the current locations of Lots 1. 2 & 3 within the subdivision. The current location and configuration of Lots 1, 2, 3 & 4 are clustered closely together (18'-20' apart) on the north side of the site, inset in the steep hillside adjacent to Buffehr Creek Road. We are proposing modifications to the geometry and relocation of the building envelopes to pull the sites out of the steep hillside, further away from Buffehr Creek Road, minimizing the removal of existing trees, and reducing the perception of density by providing more desirable spacing between Lots. Though the geometry of the Lots change as a response to the topography of the site, the sizes do not. They maintain the acreage as set forth in the current SDD. Therefore there is also no impact to the amount of acreage (2.5 acres) dedicated as open space. Lot 1: 0.095 Acres Lot 2: 0.089 Acres Lot 3: 0.078 Acres After the initial PEC work session and in response to PEC and Staff's comments, we reevaluated the location of LOT 1 and propose a finalized location per the revised site plan. • LOT 1 is now located equidistant from the drive lane as set in LOT 2 and LOT 3. • LOT 1 is now located 33' feet from the fire truck turnaround, which is equal to the spacing we are providing between LOT 4, LOT 3 and LOT 2. • The drive lane has been reduced and the fire truck turnaround is located as close to the utility easement as possible. 1 PEC APPLICATION—ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 • LOT 1 has been pulled out of the south hillside and has been shifted west from the initial proposed location. 2. Revisions to the current Architectural Guidelines. We are proposing to adopt Town of Vail Code, Title 14, Chapter 10, DESIGN REVIEW STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES in place of the current design guidelines set forth in the current SDD. The current Architectural Guidelines were set forth in the last amendment to the SDD in Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990, reflecting the Alpine Log Home built by the owner of Lot 4. Design Guidelines Ordinance No. 17. Series of 1990: 1. Roof pitch shall be between 4 feet in 12 feet and 6 feet in 12 feet. 2. Roof material shall be Cedar shakes. 3. Siding material shall be either log or stucco with log perlins, log railings, or other log members, natural rock, or a combination of the above, and shall be applied horizontally as indicated on the prototypical building elevations. Only light colored stain shall be applied to siding. 4. Either stucco or siding shall be applied to exposed concrete foundation walls. If stucco is utilized it shall be light in color. 5. All windows shall be white metal clad or wood windows, and will be "divided light" style. 6. All roofs shall have overhangs of at least 1 foot in order to protect walls and wall openings from rain and snow to contribute to the building's character. These guidelines were an amendment from the initial establishment of the SDD in Ordinance No. 19 1987, in which the approved design guidelines contained the following: Design Guidelines Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1987: 1. Roof pitch shall be between 4 feet in 12 feet and 6 feet in 12 feet. 2. Roof material shall be metal standing seam or a metal stamped California tile form and be either charcoal gray or dark blue in color 3. Siding material shall be either cedar or redwood and shall be applied horizontally as indicated on the prototypical building elevations. Only light colored stain shall be applied to siding. 4. Either stucco or siding shall be applied to exposed concrete foundation walls. If stucco is utilized it shall be light in color. 5. All windows shall be white metal clad windows. 6. All roofs shall have overhangs of at least 1 foot in order to protect walls and wall openings from rain and snow to contribute to the building's character. Pj PEC APPLICATION—ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 3. Employee Housing Unit Requirement The current SDD requires a minimum of one employee dwelling unit within the subdivision; a minimum size of 400 SF not to exceed 500 SF. Since the EHU has not been built within the subdivision and the EHU square footage does not currently exist within a residence, we are proposing to replace the 400 SF EHU requirement with an existing one bedroom, 669 SF, Pitkin Creek Condominium. PROPOSED PITKIN CREEK CONDOMINIUM PARCEL NUMBER: 2101-111-05-085 ADDRESS: 3971 BIGHORN RD #7A LEGAL SUMMARY: DESC: PHASE III Subdivision: PITKIN CREEK PARK Unit: 7-A The current SDD requirement of a 400 SF EHU is appropriately sized for only one employee, versus the ability to house two employees in the 669 SF Pitkin Creek Condominium. The East Vail location of the Pitkin Creek Condominium is far more appropriate for a Town of Vail employee. Its location on the Town of Vail bus route, proximity to the bike trail, and the on-site amenities of a pool/hot tub, grocery and liquor store makes it a superior location to the isolated neighborhood on Buffehr Creek Road. Elk Meadows is not serviced by the Town of Vail bus, or within close proximity to a bus stop, requiring employees to have a car and pay for Town of Vail parking. The fact that the EHU does not currently exist makes this a unique situation. We are not requesting to exchange an existing EHU, but to relocate the existing requirement off-site providing the Town of Vail with an additional 269 SF beyond what is required of the SDD. The EHU exchanges that have taken place to date have been an exchange of an existing EHU in which the residences benefited by the absorption of the additional GRFA. The Elk Meadows SDD would not be absorbing or adding any additional GRFA with the relocation of the 400 SF EHU requirement, therefore not warranting compliance with the exchange program. 4. Increase the allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) 10% for each lot within the Elk Meadows Subdivision. This proposed amendment will maintain the intent of the original Valley PUD Agreement in which 16000 SF of GRFA was designated for the Valley Phase III. The current SDD allocates 3200 SF of GRFA per Lot. The amendments to the GRFA regulations enacted by Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2004, affected the method by which GRFA within the Residential Cluster Zone district is measured. The current Lots are negatively affected by Ordinance 14 as the GRFA amendments require wall thickness to be counted as GRFA. The proposed 10% increase in GRFA per Lot is to PEC APPLICATION—ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 recapture the GRFA "lost" when wall thickness was revised to be included in the GRFA calculations. This proposal will not change the intended size, bulk and mass of structures within the subdivision. LOT AREA ALLOWABLE GRFA PROPOSED GRFA LOT 1 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 2 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 3 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 4 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 5 3200 SF 3520 SF TOTAL 16000 SF 17600 SF :l PEC APPLICATION—ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 REVIEW CRITERIA Section 12-9A-8: DESIGN CRITERIA AND NECESSARY FINDINGS, Vail Town Code, provides the criteria for review of a Major Amendment to a Special Development District. These criteria have been provided below, along with an analysis of how this proposal complies with these criteria: 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 proposed modifications and relocation of LOTS 1, 2 & 3 are in response to their current orientation on the steep hillside and their close proximity to Buffehr Creek Road. When altering LOT 2 & LOT 3 to work better with the existing topography and minimize the site disturbance, we end up with lot 1 being situated on the southern side of the shared drive. This improved location of LOT 1 minimizes the overall site disturbance, improves the buffer zone between residences and the Buffehr Creek Road, and moves LOT 1 out of the rockfall hazard area. The proposed fire truck turnaround and its location is a significant improvement to the site disturbance over the cul-de-sac design in the original SDD (RE: Design Criteria #7). The relocation of these lots still preserves the natural features of the site while reducing the feeling of density similar to the adjacent Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer Subdivision in which the lots allow for more adequate spacing between the residences. The adoption of Town of Vail Code, Title 14, Chapter 10, DESIGN REVIEW STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES in place of the SDD's current design guidelines is intended to create a more diverse grouping of residences similar to the adjacent Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer Subdivision. As there is only one residence currently constructed on this site, we believe there is an opportunity to expand and improve on the current guidelines to allow for slight diversity amongst the remaining residences. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. There is no change to the proposed uses and activities for the SDD. The improved locations of Lots 1, 2 & 3 create the perception of a reduction in density which is much more compatible with the neighboring Single Family subdivisions to the west (Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer and north (The Valley Phase V). 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 10 of this title. There is no change in the parking requirements for the SDD. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. The merits of the original SDD still comply, though our improved proposal better aligns with the objectives of the Vail Land Use Plan. The following are the applicable land use policies regarding this proposal. PEC APPLICATION—ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 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 when possible. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1_7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geological hazard areas. 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_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. 5. Natural and/or Geological Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geological hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. A portion of the site is located within a high severity rockfall zone. There is no change to the proposed mitigation set forth in the current SDD. The proposed relocation of Lot 1 is a benefit as it would be located outside of the high severity rockfall zone. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design, location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall The proposed modifications and relocations of Lots 1, 2 & 3 are an improvement in regards to the following: PEC APPLICATION—ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 Site Plan: Improved integration of the Lots into the existing topography of the site, minimizing the site disturbance, improved buffer zone from Buffehr Creek Rd. and between residences similar to that of the neighboring single family subdivisions. Building Design: By pulling the Lots out of the steep hillside and spacing them farther apart we create improved building envelopes for the design of the future residences. Location/Open Space: Our proposal reduces the perception of density similar to the adjacent Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer Subdivision. We maintain the natural features of the site while minimizing the impact to the existing trees on the North side of the site and maintaining meadow/green space throughout. We believe this improves the aesthetic quality of the community. There is no reduction in the amount of dedicated open space per the SDD. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehical and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. The location of LOT 1 and the fire truck turnaround to the east shortens the length of the drive lane, reduces the distance needed for each of the driveways and is a vast reduction in site disturbance in comparison to the cul-de-sac proposed in the initial SDD. Original SDD Intent: Drive lane and 96' wide cul-de-sac would have taken up approximately 19,000 SF. Proposed SDD Amendment: Shortened drive lane and alternate fire truck turn -around would take up approximately 12,200 SF. This is a reduction of over 6500 SF of site disturbance. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. There is no change to the conceptual landscape design included in the current SDD. A review of the specific landscaping for each lot will occur first with the HOA in conjunction with the landscape provisions within the covenants followed by a review by the Town of Vail Design Review Board. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. There is no change in the phasing plan for the SDD.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 32, SERIES OF 1987, IS HEREBY REPEALED AND REENACTED WITH AMENDMENTS TO READ AS FOLLOWS: section 1. Amendment Procedures Fulfilled,_P1_annina__Commis Report. The approval procedures prescribed in Chapter 18.40 of the Vail Municipal code have been fulfilled, and the Town Council has received the report of the Planning and Environmental Commission recommending approval of the proposed development plan for Special Development District No. 16. 1 i Section 2 Special Development District No 16 Special Development District No. lb j6DD 16) and the development plan therefore, are hereby approved for the development of Phase III, The Valley, part of Parcel A, Lion's Ridge Subdivision Filing No. 2, within the. Town of Vail consisting of 3.6 acres. Section 3. Purpose. Special Development District 16 is established to ensure comprehensive development and use of an area that will be harmonious with the general character of the Town of Vail. The development is regarded as complimentary to the Town, by the Town Council, and meets all design standards as set forth in Section 18.40 of the Municipal code. As stated in the staff memorandum dated April 9, 1990, there are significant aspects of Special Development District 16 which are difficult to satisfy through the imposition of the standards of the Residential Cluster zone district. SDD No. 16 allows for greater flexibility in the development of the land than would be possible under the current zoning of the property. In order to help preserve the natural, scenic features of this site, building envelopes will be established which designate the areas upon the site in which development will occur.

Su -114-80-S4, The Valley Parcel III Sketch Plan Review of 10 Townhouse Units The Town of Vail Department of Community Development has reviewed the proposed layout of 10 townhouses on this parcel. We have been in contact with the architect and feel that we can work with them to improve the site design. A more clustered, tighter layout of the buildings located more toward the hillside on the southeast would be preferable and allow for a more creative site design. It is a difficult parcel due to the sensitivity of the meadow area and the steep hillside. Since the units to the west in Phase 6 will be located in the meadow, it might be more desirable to leave as much of the meadow on this site open so that it is not developed from one end of the valley to the other. We are more than willing to work further with the developer and the architect in arriving at a mutually satisfiable solution for the 10 units on this parcel.
