CONDITION(S):
Page 1
"The following conditions/expectations will be included within the pre -development
agreement between the Vail Valley Medical Center and the Town of Vail. That agreement
shall be executed prior to issuance of a building permit for the West Wing.
A finding has been made by the PEC to mitigate 100% of the employee generation
created by this proposal off-site. The WMC shall submit a final Employee Housing
Report (to determine employee generation rate and required mitigation) for review and
approval by the PEC prior to submittal of a building permit application for the West
Wing.
2. Due to the uncertainly of the potential Evergreen Lodge land exchange and the future
of Lot 10 and how these factors could influence final decisions on the design of the
WMC parking lot, WMC shall return to the PEC prior to construction of parking lot
improvements reflected in this CUP application. The purpose of this review will be to
present any changes to parking lot design and/or additional information regarding
such improvements that may include but not be limited to:
• Defining an access easement over WMC property for access to Town of Vail
parking spaces,
• Evaluation of appropriate setbacks between the WMC's westerly property line
and west edge of parking lot with regard to requirements for screening, stream
health, and snow storage, and
• Town Council's formal approval of changes to Lot 10.
3. Prior to implementing changes to parking management (shifting patient/guest parking
to East Structure and employee parking to West Lot), WMC shall obtain or provide to
town staff.
• Access permit approval from CDOT for interim South Frontage Road access
improvements to both WMC and Town Hall site,
• Town Council approval of improvements to Town Hall site,
• Detailed design of interim access improvements,
• Construction schedule demonstrating completion of improvements prior to
November 1, 2015,
• Plans for manual traffic control measures (if deemed necessary by the Town)
until such time interim access improvements are in place, and
• Plans for how parking changes will be implemented, to include but not limited
to improved wayfinding on Campus and in immediate vicinity (road signs),
outreach/education programs, role of valet/concierge, any physical
improvements to East Structure.
4. WMC provides to town staff a lease for a minimum of 15 off-site parking spaces prior
to the issuance of a building permit for the West Wing (to compensate for the 15
reduction to existing spaces from the re -design of the parking lot, until such time the
East Wing is completed).
Page 2
5. WMC provides staff with a lease for a minimum of 41 spaces prior to the issuance of a
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the West Wing, (to compensate for the parking
demand of the WW expansion, until such time the East Wing is completed)
6. WMC provides a construction management plan for review and approval by town staff
prior to the issuance of building permit for the West Wing.
7. WMC provides a comprehensive roof plan as part of a DRB application depicting all
rooftop mechanical devices and equipment and design features proposed to screen
such devices and features.
8. WMC address outstanding Public Works comments prior to issuance of building
permit:
• Demonstrate valet parking conformance with Town Code and potential conflicts
with valet spaces and truck turning movements. Any change to the number of
valet parking spaces will directly affect the minimum number of required off-
site parking spaces to be leased pursuant to Condition 4.
• Provide a final drainage study,
• Modify drainage plan to route clean groundwater (from de -watering system)
separately from storm water.
• Work with town staff to define the preferred location for the water quality vault.
9. WMC shall develop a plan for cleaning and restoring the bank of Middle Creek
adjacent to the WMC site and proceed through the appropriate process for
completion by November 1, 2015.
10. In conjunction with the Design Review Board application, the applicant shall provide a
landscape plan that ensures the greatest amount of verticality and diversity amongst
the plantings along West Meadow Drive so that the impact of bulk and mass to the
neighborhood created by the West Wing expansion is adequately mitigated."
Warren Campbell delivered his presentation per Staff's memo.
Commissioner Kurz asked for details on the topic of mechanical screening.
Campbell explained that the Code provisions for mechanical screen are in Title 14.
Commissioner Rediker asked if screening is under the purview of the PEC.
Campbell explained that the PEC should review the screening from a perspective of its impacts
to the bulk, mass, and height of the structure and the DRB will review the materials and asthetics
of the screening.
Commissioner Rediker asked why some material in the applicant's memo was not included in
Staff's memo.
Campbell answered that it was in effort to avoid redundancy. Staff's memorandum spoke to
those items of heightened importance and areas of concern,
Rediker asked is all elements in the applicant's memo would be included in an approval.
Page 3
Campbell answered yes, it was apart of the applicant's submittal and would become a part of the
"contract" if a CUP were approved.
Kurz asked if ensuring the completion of all phases of construction was under the PEC's
purview.
Campbell answered no. He added that the Town Council was working on a Developer
Agreement to address
Commissioner Cartin asked where in town employee housing exists upon a General Use zoned
property.
Campbell stated that out that Buzzard Park out at the Public Works and at Vail Fire Station No.
2. In the past there were EHUs at the library and Fire Stations 1 and 3 had some
accommodations for resident fire fighters.
Commissioner Cartin asked what triggers would be in place to ensure development of the East
Wing.
Campbell answered that those incentives and triggers would be included in the developer
agreement.
Tom Braun then delivered an overview of the presentation on behalf of the applicant. Russ
Sedmak, architect, then presented the details of the streetscape improvements on West Meadow
Dr., the proposed west fagade, and the how architectural detailing impacts the mass and bulk.
Commissioner Hopkins asked for clarification on the proposed materials for the west and north
facades.
Sedmak explained the various materials and suggested a stucco finish might be used on the
north expansion in order to lighten it up as compared to the metal panels shown.
Braun then discussed each of the proposed conditions, starting with employees housing
mitigation. Braun stated that the applicant would comply and have a competent proposal at the
next PEC meeting. Braun then discussed conditions two and three (parking & traffic), speaking
to lot design and trip generation. Off-site leased spaces, the construction management plan, and
Public Works' comments were then discussed. Stream health was the next topic. Braun
mentioned a number of steps would occur in order to ensure stream health.
Commissioner Martin asked what the net gain/loss of parking would be in the long-term.
Braun and Campbell stated it would increase to approximately 600 spaces from approximatl;ey
250.
Commissioner Kurz asked if the 50 foot stream setback (Gore Creek) should be applied here.
Campbell stated the 30 foot setback is what is currently codified for Middle Creek.
Mery Lapin, resident of 232 West meadow Drive, addressed the PEC, speaking to stream health.
Lapin felt the high-water mark was a more appropriate reference point for establishing a stream
setback, rather than the stream centerline. He asked for more of a landscape buffer than what is
being proposed. Lapin then spoke to the performance bond and the need for assurances that
phases be completed. Lapin also spoke to the significance of Lot 10, the landscaping on
Page 4
Meadow Drive, and snow -melting the sidewalk. Lot 10 needs to remain publicly owned, although
interim use for parking and staging he was comfortable with. He asked that PEC not give
preferential treatment to VVMC. Then Lapin asked for clarification on parking and where visitors
would park.
Dan Reynolds, attorney representing the Corrigans, residents of 252 West Meadow Drive,
reiterated his client's concern about the building setback along West Meadow Drive. His clients
asked that the utility screening along West Meadow Drive be given the appropriate
consideration.
Jim Lamont, Vail HOA, asked Pam Hopkins for background on the use of Lot 10 as she might
have some knowledge based upon her history with the area (Architect of the Vail Library).
Commissioner Hopkins recollected that it was acquired after the construction of the library.
Lamont state that his point was that Lot 10, however it is ultimately used, be screened with a wall
so that the pedestrian experience would not be compromised by the proposed parking lot.
Lamont then made some recommendations for landscaping along West Meadow Drive. He also
reiterated the need for snow -melting the sidewalk along West Meadow Drive.
Commissioner Hopkins spoke to the need to heat the sidewalks, preserve stream health, and
introduce greater plant diversity for the landscaping. She asked how visitor parking was
accommodated in the parking calculations. She thought there needed to be more of a nod to
those arriving to the hospital by means other than car.
Braun responded that he felt there may be some confusion between parking generation and
parking management. The methodology contained within the VVMC MP accounted for visitor
parking.
Cartin spoke to the significance of employee housing mitigation and that perhaps the first
condition should be modified to require some employee housing on site. Cartin spoke to the
land exchange component and need to have foresight in regards to the development of the
Evergreen site. He felt parking management during the sequencing of the redevelopment had
been adequately addressed. Cartin asked for specifics on construction staging and where
contracotrs would be parking.
Braun said that the selected contractor was aware of the site constraints and was exploring
options.
Commissioner Cartin stated that he supported the idea presented by Public Works to locate the
sand and oil separator in a location permitting several other West Meadow Drive inlets to be
connected to the device. Relocation of the existing trees should be explored and the inclusion of
significant landscaping to buffer the project needs to be discussed with the DRB.
Commissioner Kurz felt the conditions proposed by staff were well thought out. He disagreed
with Lamont's recommendation of a wall to screen parking. He suggested landscaping was more
appropriate. He concluded by statin that he felt a finding could be made to mitigate employee
housing off-site in its entirety.
Commissioner Rediker generally agreed with the conditions set forth by Staff. He asked if the
development plan was the same plan presented to Town Council.
Page 5
Campbell asked for clarification as he felt Commissioner Rediker may be referring to the
development agreement being reviewed by Town Council.
Braun then mentioned some of the points within the development agreement.
Commissioner Rediker asked if a condition regarding the need to execute the developer
agreement.
Campbell and Braun felt it was already addressed within the current conditions.
Rediker expressed concern about the 100% off-site employee housing mitigation. He asked Nina
Timm, housing coordinator, her thoughts on whether the employee mitigation should occur off
site.
Nina Timm stated that that direction would come from the PEC pursuant to the Code and the
findings the PEC would need to make to allow for off site mitigation.
Commissioner Rediker asked about the ability to screen the electrical transformer along West
Meadow Drive.
Commissioner Martin asked what times the employee shift changes occurred at the hospital and
was curious if they might be occurring at the same peak times of skier guest arrival and
departure and if this might affect the plan to relocate the new front door to the South Frontage
Road.
Braun answered explaining that staff shift times occur befor the morning and afternoon peaks
generated by skier traffic.
Commissioner Martin agreed with Hopkins that the north -south pedestrian connection be heated
when it comes in with the East Wing. Martin had hoped the west wing would be set farther back.
Martin thought greater efforts were needed with regard to the materials selection and application
to help break up the north facade.
Commissioner Kurz asked about the straw waddles that have been discussed as an immediate
improvement that could be implemented to help protect Middle Creek stream health.
Campbell stated they are temporary installations until permanent improvements can be made. .
Commissioner Pratt was shocked that heating the sidewalk was even a discussion point and felt
that it should be a given. Regarding the stream setback, he was comfortable with what was
being proposed in the interim. He added that the PEC will have the opportunity to discuss the
final design of the parking lot in conjunction with the East Wing review and if the Evergreen land
swap occurs and the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan requires amendment. He
supported a finding that the employee housing be mitigated off-site. Pratt proposed a condition
regarding the need to have the DRB review the landscaping with the goal of increasing the
verticality of the proposed vegetation. Pratt then spoke to a concern with the parking spaces as
stripped in the WMC parking structure. He mentioned that he had asked Warren Campbell to
visit the structure and ascertain compliance with parking space dimensions. Pratt asked if the
west lot would have a control gate.
Braun said, no, not in the short term, but would at the conclusion of the East Wing. The valet
system currently in place would be used to prevent the general public from parking there to
address Pratt's concern with poaching for skier parking.
Page 6
Pratt then asked how the proposed parking would be impacted if the land exchange did not
occur. Pratt felt any screening for the parking would be the Town's obligation since Lot 10 is
owned by the TOV.
Campbell reported out to the Commission that he had visited the parking structure at the request
of Commissioner Pratt. He stated that there were a number of non-compliant parking spaces.
Many were approximately 6 inches short of compliant widths. He suggested that smaller parking
spaces be signed as compact spaces.
Commissioner Cartin suggested that a valet solution may be appropriate for the garage parking
as well.
Commissioner Rediker asked if parking space standards are laid out in the Town Code.
Campbell stated that the dimensions are contained within the Code.
Commissioner Rediker asked if the conditions need to speak to the parking space standards that
are called for in the Town Code.
Braun proposed an assessment of the existing parking space dimensions.
Commissioner Pratt stated that a resolution and discussion of the minutia was not necessary so
long as all parties would look into solutions as the parking can become tight within the structure.
The Commission agreed that staff and the applicant could resolve the parking space concerns
within the structure as it would be an interim situation that would be eliminated with the East
Wing..

Memorandum
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: April 13, 2015
SUBJECT: A request for a final review of an amended final plat, pursuant to
Chapter 13-12, Exemption Plat Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to
amend a platted building envelope, located at 1463 Aspen Grove
Lane/Lot 88, Block 2, Lions Ridge Filing 4, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC150010)
Applicant: Dan Carpenter & Kaye Summers, represented by KH Webb
Architects
Planner: Jonathan Spence
I. SUMMARY
The applicants, Dan Carpenter & Kaye Summers, represented by KH Webb Architects,
are requesting a public hearing before the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental
Commission for a final review of an amended final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13-12,
Exemption Plat Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to amend a platted building
envelope, located at 1463 Aspen Grove Lane/Lot 8B, Block 2, Lions Ridge Filing 4, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined
in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the
Community Development Department recommends approval, with conditions, of this
application subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicants, Dan Carpenter & Kaye Summers, represented by KH Webb Architects,
are proposing to amend the platted building envelope located on Lot 8B, Block 2 of Lions
Ridge Filing 4. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to respond to view sheds and
the driveway location of the adjacent existing home in anticipation of the construction of
a new home on Lot 8B. Additionally, the revisions proposed to the envelope are
designed to accommodate the design of the new home while minimizing unnecessary
adverse site impacts.
III. BACKGROUND
The Lion's Ridge Subdivision Filing 4 was originally subdivided under Eagle County
jurisdiction in 1980. This subdivision was later annexed into the Town of Vail in 1987
and rezoned to Single Family Residential (SFR) District.
The Planning and Environmental Commission approved a resubdivision of Lot 8, Lion's
Ridge Subdivision Filing 4, in October 2000. This resubdivision created Lots 8A, 813,
and 8C. Lots 8A and 813 were created with platted building envelopes to control the
location of future development on the site, while Lot 8C was created as an open space
tract within the subdivision.
On June 27, 2005, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved an
amendment to the Lot 813 building envelope. The purpose of this amendment was to
shift western portions of the envelope to the south to improve access and
constructability. This plat was not recorded and the approval has expired..
On August 27, 2007 the Planning and Environmental Commission approved an
amendment to the Lot 813 building envelope that closely resembled the previous 2005
approval. This plat was recorded and is the subject of the current modification request.
As noted in the Section V, Site Analysis, the building envelope was reduced from
7,950.4 SF to 7,949.5 SF with this approval.

Town Code. The purpose of Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, is intened to ensure that
the subdivision is promoting the health, safety and welfare of the community. Pursuant
to Section 13-3-4 A, Vail Town Code, the Planning and Envorinmental Commission will
be evaluating the proposal based on the following criteria.
(1) The extent to which the proposed subdivision is consistent with all the
applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the
Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of
the town; and
Staff Response: Staff has reviewed the proposed amended final plat and found it to be
in compliance with all applicable elements of Vail Comprehensive Plan. This proposal
increases the overall size of building envelope area by 0.9 SF from 7,949.5 sq. ft to
7,950.4 SF. It also increases the setback from the west property line 5' from 20' to 25'.

building envelope modification by limiting the allowable building height in a portion of the
envelope. The portion of the envelope with the height restriction is located near the
west property line and will be utilized for the proposed home's garage.

compliance with all applicable portions of the Town of Vail Zoning Code. This is an
existing lot and only the building envelope will be amended by this proposal.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
(3) The extent to which the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal
development objectives; and
Staff Response: The proposed amended final plat modifying the platted building
envelope will not negatively affect the workable relationship among land uses as the
proposal will not alter the single family residential character of the neighborhood. The
proposed amended final plat increases the setback from the westerly adjacent property
from 20 feet to 25 feet.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
(4) The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area;
and
Staff Response: This is an existing lot and only the building envelope will be amended
by this proposal. The proposed amended final plat modifying the platted building
envelope will not negatively affect the future development of the surrounding area as the
proposal will not alter the single family residential character of the neighborhood.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
(5) The extent to which the proposed subdivision is located and designed to avoid
creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public
services, or require duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or
result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development; and

by this proposal. The proposed amended final plat modifying the platted building
envelope will not negatively affect the elements identified in the above criterion.

population of the service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade under-
sized lines; and

envelope will not affect the current level of utility service required in the vicinity.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
(7) The extent to which the proposed subdivision provides for the growth of an
orderly viable community and serves the best interests of the community as a
whole; and
Staff Response: Staff believes the proposed amended final plat modifying the platted
building envelope will continue to allow for the orderly growth of the community
and serves the interests of the community as the proposal will not alter the single family
residential character of the neighborhood.
Staff finds this criterion to be met.
(8) The extent to which the proposed subdivision results in adverse or beneficial
impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air
quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural
features; and
Staff Response: Staff does not believe that the proposed amended final plat
modifying the platted building envelope will result in any adverse impacts to any of the
items listed in the above criterion. The building envelope will continue to restrict building
