Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 Call to Order Members Present Brian Gillette, Ludwig Kurz, John Rediker, Henry Pratt, John Ryan Lockman Members Absent: Kirk Hansen, Webb Martin SiteVisits: 1. Vail Cascade Resort & Spa - 1300 Westhaven Drive 2. Villa Valhalla, Unit 10 - 384 Gore Creek Drive A request for the review of a variance from Section 11-6-3: Business Signs, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 11-10-1: Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for a free standing business identification sign, located at 223 Gore Creek Drive (White Buffalo Restaurant, Creekside Condominiums)/Lot A, Block 5B, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC160001) Applicant: White Buffalo Restaurant, represented by Elevation Resort Management Planner: Jonathan Spence Action: Approve with Conditions Motion: Rediker Second: Kurz Vote: 5-0-0 Jonathan Spence introduced the project. Free standing signs are not allowed without a variance. He showed photos of the location of the business. Line of sight to signage location would otherwise be difficult to see. He showed the location of past signs for menu boards. Staff recommends approval based on the criteria in the Town Code. Conditions of Approval include not allowing the menu board in this location. Pratt — Existing sign should come down if this is approved. Spence — Existing sign has a time limit. It must be removed before this sign is installed. Rediker — Are menu boards different from other signs? Spence — Yes, menu boards can be in other locations that primary signs cannot. David Segerdal — A number of restaurants have been in that space. It's hidden in spring and summer when trees bloom. A sign where the past menu board was located is not much to ask. Public Comment— None Gillette — Agree with staff recommendation, Rediker — Looking at criteria in 11-10-1, looks like we do have physical limitations, Kurz — Agree with comments made so far. Pratt — Agree with staff. 2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on an application for an encroachment into an existing view corridor, pursuant to Section 12-22-6, Encroachments Into Existing View Corridors, Vail Town Code, to allow for the encroachment of an addition to the Villa Valhalla Building into View Corridor #5, located at 384 Gore Creek Drive, Unit 10/Lot J, Block 5A, Vail Village Filing 5, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC150036) Applicant: Jose Pedro Valenzuela Rionda, represented by Pierce Architects Planner: Jonathan Spence Action: Recommendation of Denial to Town Council as Criteria #2, #3, and #5 have not been met Motion: Gillette Second: Kurz Vote: 4-1-0 (Lockman opposed) Jonathan Spence introduced the topic and explained the different types of applications related to view corridors. One is an encroachment, and the other is a change to the view corridor. He explained with photos where the addition is proposed. Property is using the "250 Ordinance" to add square feet. He also showed images of how the view would be affected and where the encroachment would take place. Portion of the addition in the view corridor is a dormer on the roof. He reviewed the View Corridor Encroachment Criteria in the Town Code. Due to the Founders Garage already encroaching, the proposed encroachment is very minor and there are no other options for expansion of the condominium. Pratt — It would be good to get on record the reason that the Founders Garage was built as is. Spence- It appears to be an oversight that Founders Garage was built within the view corridor. Bill Pierce, Architect — Discussed some of the slides and photos and how the encroachment would be minimized. Space is partially used for sleeping spaces. Low headroom in this space. Height is about 6'6". We designed this to be as minimal impact as possible. Public Comment - Art Carroll, 385 Gore Creek Drive, 30 year resident. I stood on the view corridor point. If we have a view corridor, and someone takes a little bit, where does it stop, when does the Town stop selling itself? It takes fortitude to say no the first time, but easier to say no the second time. April Carroll — I stood in front of Troy's to see the encroachment. The trees are the encroachment now. After this, it will be built. Why have view corridors if we allow people to build into them? Final Comment - Lockman — I tend to agree with the public. Where do you stop? Applicant has shown the minimal amount that the proposed project will encroach. Agree with staff. Kurz — View corridors have been sacred over the past few years. This one is already encroached upon. Don't recall how this encroachment happened. Does it show in Town records? (Spence- No.) Hopeful there is another solution. Rediker — Difficult time with this encroachment. Embarrassment to the Town how this one happened at Founders Garage. Proposed encroachment is minor in nature, but an encroachment nonetheless. There are criteria we need to consider. Application needs to meet all other criteria. Difficulty seeing how it meets #2, protecting the view corridor. Struggling with #5 as well. Founders Garage has completely destroyed this view, but at some point we need to put our foot down. Not sure how I will vote. Gillette — Where do you stop? As I look at this, I ask how you get the view back. Founders Garage, its likely mechanical space on the top of that garage. It's possible to get this back from the Founders Garage, but not once you put up living space. Council should look at an amendment to the view corridor. Town Council should look at this to determine if they want to protect this view, by working with the Founders Garage. Use eminent domain to fix the mistake we made. Pratt — Brian makes a good point. View corridors have been sacrosanct. Appreciate attempts to minimize the impact. It's a tiny sliver, but then the next guy needs more encroachment. I don't think we can do this. If the Town Council wants to change the view corridor, that may be an impetus to approve this. Pierce — If the Council does not want to make any changes to the Founders Garage, would this be a minor encroachment? Would this be palatable if the Council decides not to make a change? Pratt — If Council decides not to make a change, I would not support this application Gillette — If Council redraws the line to be above the Founders Garage. Lockman — Feel that the criteria have been met, but agree that it could be amended. The Commission discussed the options for approval, denial, or attaching conditions to the approval. 4. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a prescribed regulation amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Title 12, Sections 12-6C-8 and 12-6D-8, to provide an exception to the minimum lot size for properties in the Two -Family Residential (R) and the Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) Districts that were annexed into the Town of Vail with two dwelling units but are now nonconforming due to lot size requirements, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC160003) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Jonathan Spence Action: Recommendation of Approval to Town Council Motion: Rediker Second: Kurz Vote: 5-0-0 Planner Spence introduce the projects and the history of this proposed code amendment. These lots were constructed upon as a duplex in Eagle County prior to annexation. Lots are nonconforming since they are less than 14,000 sq. ft. Owners cannot use the available GRFA. Nonconforming section of the code assumes that nonconforming uses or structures will go away someday. In this situation, that premise may not be valid. None of the properties have become conforming since annexation. Small 250 sq. ft. additions have been allowed over time, and properties have been allowed to subdivide. This proposal does not change the minimum lot size, change allowed density or GRFA, site coverage, etc. This change will only apply to these specific properties. Properties must meet these specific criteria. Result would allow use of GRFA and would allow demo/rebuild. Consequence of not changing code is that properties begin to age; many of these properties have not been upgraded. Public Comment — Mike Mathias, live on Black Bear Lane in East Vail. At least 40-50% of my property is the creek. Any efforts I have made to upgrade the property have met with disapproval. All I can do is basic maintenance. I can't add on since I don't meet variance criteria. I recommend changes to this policy. Otherwise I can't upgrade property as is needed. Tim Howard - 5123 Black Bear Lane — This change would be immensely helpful to help us to upgrade our property. We own and live here. We support this recommendation Christie Hochtl - 890 Red Sandstone — A few years ago our renters moved out. The way our home sits on the lot, we had an opportunity to condominiumize the lot. Home sits awkward on the lot. We would be in favor of this being passed. If we wanted to demolish and rebuild, that would be good for passing this property to our children. Great location, not confined since we border the park. We have used some of our GRFA to modernize. We are very much in favor of this passing. Susan Bird 1771 Alpine Drive — Bought 32 years ago in Eagle County, and voted to get annexed into Vail. This lot is fractions off from being eligible for Primary/Secondary. Final Comments — Gillette — Like what staff has done, support this. Rediker — Agree in all respects with staff analysis. Kurz — Want to verify that I don't have a conflict of interest due to my relationship with neighbors affected. I paid $1,800 for the lot. Lockman — Good to hear from the public on this issue. Pratt — Criteria have been met, these 35 properties should have an exception. 5. A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a major amendment to Special Development District No. 4, Area A, Vail Cascade, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10 Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for a reduction of seven (7) accommodation units, major interior renovation, new fitness area, new spa for guest use, new entry vestibule and a modified porte-cochere in the Vail Cascade Resort & Spa, located at 1300 Westhaven Drive/Cascade Village Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC160002) Applicant: Vail Hotel Partners LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Chris Neubecker Action: Recommendation of Approval to Town Council with Condition Motion: Kurz Second: Rediker Vote: 4-0-1 (Pratt Recused) Condition: The proposed pool shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission. Henry Pratt recused himself from the hearing due to a conflict of interest. Planning Manager Neubecker introduced the proposed amendment to the Vail Cascade Hotel. Reduction in accommodation units is primary reason this is a major amendment. Other changes in uses are also to be considered. New ownership has certain improvement requirements to bring the hotel up to their standards. The primary change on the exterior is a new porte-cochere (covered entry for vehicles). Other exterior change include a change from wooden to stone panels on entrances, changes to the terrace, and a change in the size of landscape island. The current hotel does not experience full occupancy and it is hoped that the upgrades and management will increase occupancy despite a reduction in the overall amount of units. The staff report highlights the extent of the proposed changes, including a reduction in approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of GRFA and a slight increase in commercial space. No parking changes are proposed. Changes to the tennis facilities have already been approved under separate application and are not a requirement of the SDD. There is no change to employee housing or height. There are minor change to site coverage and landscaping. Staff finds the proposal meets the criteria for SDDs and recommends approval, with one condition. Rediker asked for Commission comments. Lockman asked about a comment on the staff report regarding the maximum number of units Neubecker confirmed that the existing conditions exceed the maximum number of 289 units. Lockman commented that the change in landscaping seems like a lot of square feet, but only a very small percent change. Neubecker responded that the percent change is very small based on the relatively large size of the site. Gillette asked what other documents regulate the property, to which Neubecker responded just the Town Code and existing SDD. Gillette asked about AUs (accommodation units). Neubecker responded that because it is not part of Lionshead, reduction of accommodation units is not regulated by the master plan. Gillette asked what specifically causes the proposal being a major amendment, to which Neubecker responded that a reduction in the amount of accommodation units requires a major amendment, per Town Code. Gillette asked if staff knew why the site is noncompliant in regards to landscaping to which staff did not have any information explaining why it was out of compliance. Rediker commented about the location review criteria used by staff. He then asked about AUs being mentioned in the Vail Land Use Plan, to which Neubecker responded there is no requirement within the Vail Land Use Plan to preserve AUs. Rediker asked if there are specific documents like the Lionshead Plan which require the preservation of AUs, to which Neubecker responded in the positive, but this is not within the Lionshead area. There are no such statements within the Cascade SDD. Gillette asked what landscaping percentages existed on other sites. Dominic Mauriello responded he can address that question in his presentation. Dominic Mauriello, MPG, consultant for the Applicant, began by introducing the development and team and referencing a PowerPoint presentation. Philip Cyburt of Laurus Corp. reviewed the proposed investment in the redevelopment of the property. Investment will be made into the hotel, but also the hotel will be branded as part of the Starwood Luxury Collection. Enhanced booking systems and marketing are part of this improvement. The reduction in rooms is due to a desire to be competitive within the luxury market by increasing the amount of suites and to have a spa within the hotel. Cyburt continued by summarizing the applicant's vision for the redevelopment of the hotel. The hotel will need to be temporarily closed to accommodate the construction of the improvements. A subsequent application for improvements to the Aria Health Club is anticipated in the future. Mauriello summarized the SDD amendment and the sensitivity to a reduction in AUs. The SDD is one of the few SDDs within the town that has multiple owners. Dominic speculated that sometime in the 1990s part of a salon was converted to four additional hotel rooms. Based upon what the original ordinance stipulated, the proposed reduction is only three AUs less than the established maximum. Dominic provided statistics regarding occupancy and noted that over the last three years, only 0.05% of the time was the hotel over 285 units occupied. The reduction should have a minor impact and the upgraded rooms will help increase the aggregate rate. Dominic referenced an image depicting the location of the rooms to be eliminated. He then referenced the proposed improvements specified in the application, including changes to the bar and restaurant floor plans, expanded terrace area, remodeled lobby, common areas, and conference and meeting rooms. John Garth, General Manager of the Cascade Hotel, was introduced to speak of the impact of updated conference and meeting rooms. Right now, the hotel is limited to second and third tier groups. However, the footprint should allow for the hotel to be a premier space capable of accommodating first tier groups. Mauriello continued discussing the proposed improvements, including an on -site spa and salon, fitness area, and kids play area. Discussing the exterior improvements Dominic described the porte-cochere and terrace improvements. The location of the terrace improvements is where the loss of landscaping occurs. In regards to the zoning analysis, there are no other issues outside of the reduction in the number of rooms. The issue of parking was then discussed. The existing parking structure is compliant with the SDD Dominic expressed his belief that because they are not changing the conference facilities, they should still be subject to the required 35 parking spaces for conference use, not the 69 spaces identified within the staff report. In regards to the tennis court conversion, Dominic stated that the tennis courts were not a required improvement and noted that the structure was designed to accommodate parking. After the conversion, there will be a surplus of 26 parking spaces beyond what is required. Employee housing is only required when adding area, but Dominic stated that the proposed changes actually reduce the demand for employee housing. Dominic concluded by reviewing the criteria for approval of a major amendment. Rediker asked for commissioner comments. Lockman asked for an explanation as to how the employee housing demand decreased. Dominic referred to a table on a slide that calculated the change in floor area with each specific use. Gillette asked for more information on the loss of landscaping to which Dominic referred to a slide and identified an area where a pool could be located, thus resulting in a loss of landscaping. Gillette asked for information about the amount of landscaping at other similar properties. Dominic responded that it depends on location and the applicable regulating documents. Gillette asked staff to check on the amount of landscaping required within the Public Accommodation (PA) zone district, to which Neubecker responded that 30% is required. Rediker asked if the SDD regulates setbacks from the bike path, to which Dominic responded in the negative. Rediker asked for clarification if the creation of suites would also result in the loss of beds, to which Dominic and John Garth responded that they should have the ability to sleep the same number as before through the use of pull-out couches. Public Comment - None Final Comments — Lockman stated that the loss AUs is a concern, but the overall need to renovate the property makes sense and he can favor approval. Kurz stated that he is also in favor of the proposal and through personal experience he felt the addition of quality improvements offsets the loss of AUs. He asked for confirmation that the parking is compliant, to which Neubecker responded in the positive. Gillette concurred with staffs recommendation and favors the proposal, despite his concern regarding the loss of landscaping. Rediker noted that there is not a prohibition against reducing the amount of AUs and based on existing low occupancy rates that it should not be an issue. Rediker expressed concern regarding the loss of landscaping, especially in placing concrete in an area where buffers along Gore Creek are needed. Rediker stated that he is concerned about approving the changes to the terrace without a definite plan moving forward. Rediker suggested approval of the terrace be subject to future PEC approval. Gillette agreed with Rediker's suggestion. Neubecker asked for clarification of the area to be subject to future approval, which should be the pool and not the terrace. Rediker described the area in which the future pool may be proposed. Gillette suggested the review of a stormwater plan. Neubecker stated that there are existing stormwater regulations within the existing SDD. After discussion regarding conditions of approval, Ms. Sarah Baker, attorney for the applicant, suggested agreed upon language that a future pool would be subject to PEC review. 6. A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 4, Cascade Village, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the redevelopment of the former Cascade Village Theater and Colorado Mountain College property to include 14 dwelling units, one (1) onsite Employee Housing Unit and the preservation 4,087 square feet of existing commercial, retail and office space, located at 1310 Westhaven Drive/Cascade Village, and setting forth details in regard thereto. This project was previously approved most recently in 2007 and expired on June 1, 2015.

A request for review of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 12-813-3 Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-16 Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for the installation of parking in the Chalet Road right -of- way and the conversion of the existing tennis courts to pickle ball courts, located at 461 Vail Valley Drive, Tract F2, Vail Village Filing 5, and setting forth details in regard thereto.

Henry Pratt stated that there is an incomplete sentence regarding a statement he made. 9. Informational Update Energy Update - Environmental Team Mark Hoblitzell provided an update regarding the town's energy usage. Energy is purchased from Holy Cross Energy. Since 2006, Holy Cross has seen a reduction in CO2 intensity from approximately 2 Ib/kwh to 1.5 Ib/kwh. Coal accounted for approximately 62% of their energy source in 2014. Natural gas accounted for approximately 16%. In regards to the town's consumption, from 2006 to 2015 a 31 % reduction in electricity use has been achieved. LED upgrades in the parking structures and the construction of other new facilities have increased efficiency. Gillette asked what the cost was to achieve a 31 % reduction and if it is realistic to achieve another 20% reduction in four years. Kristin Bertuglia estimated that approximately $4 million dollars have been spent and there is approximately a 15 year payback. Gillette asked which programs have the shortest payback, to which Kristin responded lighting. Hoblitzell summarized a table depicting the yearly cost reductions and reminded the PEC that there have been two rate increases in this time. Solar energy has been added at the Lionshead Transit Center and Vail Village Welcome Center. Lockman asked how we can achieve energy use reduction for homeowners and businesses. Mark stated that the town has been active with many partners on education programs and offering rebates. Kristen stated that the International Building Code has incorporated energy efficiency requirements. Gillette asked if the town can get information by each meter within the town, to which Kristen responded the information is currently only available at a substation level. George Ruther stated that some of the commissioner's terms were ending in the future, but applications can be made for reappointment. 10. Adjournment Action: Adjourn Motion: Rediker Second: Kurz Vote: 5-0-0 The applications and information about the proposals are available for public inspection during regular office hours at the Town of Vail Community Development Department, 75 South Frontage Road.

(PEC160001) Applicant: White Buffalo Restaurant, represented by Elevation Resort Management Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY The applicant, White Buffalo Restaurant, represented by Elevation Resort Management, is requesting a variance from Section 11-6-3: Business Signs, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 11-10-1: Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for a freestanding business identification sign, located at 223 Gore Creek Drive. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approval, with conditions, of this application, subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum. A vicinity map (Attachment A), photographs (Attachment B) and the applicants' request (Attachment C) are attached for review. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, White Buffalo Restaurant, represented by Elevation Resort Management, is requesting a sign variance to allow for a freestanding business identification sign. Specifically, the applicant requests the business be permitted one, six (6) square foot freestanding sign to be located adjacent to the existing stairs at the location of the former restaurant tenant's menu board. The subject property is a commercial restaurant space of approximately 3,749 sq. ft. located above the Cogswell Art Gallery and the Up the Creek Restaurant. Because of this building's configuration, this space is considered first floor or street level for the purpose of zoning. The space is located on the southwest corner of the structure and is accessed via the Gore Creek Promenade, or from the vicinity of the Children's' Fountain, via a short set of stairs. Because of the orientation of the commercial space, the applicant is requesting a variance to have a freestanding business identification sign. Please see the vicinity map and accompanying pictures included as Attachments A and B, respectively. III. BACKGROUND The White Buffalo Restaurant has recently opened for business in the space formerly occupied by the Tavern on the Gore. The Tavern utilized a hanging sign from the existing trellis with a freestanding menu board sign in a planter located adjacent to the stairs. To increase visibility, the applicant is requesting a business identification sign in the location of the former establishment's menu board. It should be noted that the restaurant tenant below the subject space, "Up the Creek," received a variance form the Town of Vail for a freestanding business identification sign to be located on town property in 1989. This sign is still in existence and can be seen in the provided photographs included as Attachment 2. The use, Eating and Drinking Establishment, is a permitted use on the first floor in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District. IV.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING Existing Use North: Town Streamtract South: Mixed -Use East: Mixed -Use West: Mixed -Use VII. REVIEW CRITERIA Zoning District Outdoor Recreation District Commercial Core 1 Commercial Core 1 Commercial Core 1 The review criteria for a variance request are prescribed in Chapter 11-10-1, Variances, Vail Town Code. 1. Special circumstances or conditions must exist that apply to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures, or other matters on adjacent lots or within the adjacent right of way, that would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the sign in question. However, such circumstances must be unique to the subject site. In order for a sign variance to be granted, there must exist a physical limitation that prevents the existence, placement, or operation of a sign in compliance with the standards of the sign code. The subject property is located at the eastern terminus of the Gore Creek Promenade and to the north of the Children's Fountain. Although the Gore Creek Promenade is a recognized pedestrian way, this location lacks direct or congruent frontage along a public way or street, unlike most retail/restaurant locations within Vail Village. This lack of direct frontage, a result of the building's orientation and the elevation of the tenant's space, results in a challenge with respect to the location of effective signage due to poor visibility from many vantage points. Previous tenants have attempted to address this challenge with a prominent freestanding menu box to assist in drawing patrons to the establishment. The applicant is proposing to replace the menu box with a free standing business identification sign. Therefore, Staff finds that special circumstances warranting relief from the provisions of the sign code governing the subject location do exist. As such, this criterion is met. 2. The applicant shall not have created the circumstances that have necessitated the variance request. The existing Creekside Condominium Building was built in 1971. The applicant has not created the circumstances, which have given rise to this variance request. As such, this criterion is met. Town of Vail Page 5 3. The applicant must demonstrate that the granting of the variance will be in general harmony with the purposes of this title. The granting of the requested variance to allow a freestanding business identification sign where one is not permitted is in general harmony with the general or specific purposes of Title 11, Sign Regulations, Vail Town Code. Specifically, the approval would be consistent with the coordinated placement of signs in a manner that will conserve and enhance the established character of Vail Village. In addition to being consistent with the general purpose of Title 11, the proposal is consistent with the specific purpose #3 of the title, "to preserve a successful and high quality business environment that is aided by signs that identify, direct, and inform" The proposal will enhance the guest experience by assisting in wayfinding and will promote the successful operation of the business. As such, this criterion is met. Vill. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends approval, with a condition, of a variance from Section 11-6-3, Business Identification Signs, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 11-10, Variances and Appeals, Vail Town Code, to allow for a free standing business identification sign, located at 223 Gore Creek Drive (White Buffalo Restaurant, Creekside Condominiums)/Lot A, Block 513, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.

White Buffalo) would like to request a variance for our restaurant sign. We are requesting this variance from the Town of Vail because of the location of 223 Gore Creek Drive and the entrance to the restaurant itself. White Buffalo, formerly Tavern on the Gore, is tucked away behind Fuzzywigs Candy store and past the exit of private owners of the building, making visibility of our storefront extremely difficult. Similar to the sign location and menu boxes of past owners of this space, we would like to have our restaurant sign visible to patrons that past bye. The location of our sign will lie directly on the same spot where Tavern on the Gore was given a variance previously for their Menu Boxes, which they were approved to have two. This is critical for the health of our business, as we need to be able to clearly show our restaurants name and location to people walking by. We do not feel that this request is in anyway unfair and have personally spoken with all of our surrounding neighbors who do not feel this impedes on their businesses or private homes. Thank you for this consideration and we feel that your approval of our sign will allow us to be a healthy and viable contribution to the Town of Vail for years to come.

(PEC150036) Applicant: Jose Pedro Valenzuela Rionda, represented by Pierce Architects Planner: Jonathan Spence SUMMARY The applicant, Jose Pedro Valenzuela Rionda, represented by Pierce Architects, is requesting the review of an application to allow for the encroachment of a residential dormer addition to Villa Valhalla Building into View Point #5. 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 the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, for this view corridor encroachment application, subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST Pursuant to Section 12-22-4, Adopted View Corridors, Vail Town Code, the subject View Point #5 protects "A view of the Gore Range from Hanson Ranch Road just east of the Mill Creek Bridge and south of 302 Gore Creek Drive, the Mill Creek Court Building. " The existing Villa Valhalla Building frames the southern side of this view corridor and the topography on the north side of Interstate 70 frames the northern side of the view corridor. The applicant is proposing a 250 sq. ft. addition to Unit 10 of the Villa Valhalla Building. The proposed dormer addition is located at the west end of the northernmost roof slope of the building. The exterior wall of the subject addition is proposed to extend to the north eight feet six inches (8'-6") into the view corridor when viewed from the View Point's origin. This encroachment is defined by the limits of the view corridor's dimensions, namely the existing roofline of the Villa Valhalla and a vertical line extrapolated from the northern edge of the window trim of Unit # 10's west elevation window. A portion of the encroachment cannot been seen from the view point due to the existing Founder's Parking Garage Structure encroachment. A vicinity map (Attachment A), proposed view corridor encroachment (Attachment B), the applicant's request (Attachment C) and the Design Review Board (DRB) Plan Set (Attachment D), have been attached for review and inclusion in the record. III. BACKGROUND According to the Eagle County Assessor, the Villa Valhalla Building was constructed in 1966. On December 27, 1967, a condominium map of the constructed Villa Valhalla Building was recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder. On August 4, 1992, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992, which in part established Chapter 18.73 (now known as 12-22), View Corridors, Vail Town Code, for the purpose of protecting views within the Town of Vail. The Villa Valhalla Building serves as the southern boundary of this view corridor. This request is the first requested encroachment into this view corridor. The Founders Parking Garage structure, approved and constructed in 2004/2005 encroaches significantly into this view corridor. It appears from the historical files that the encroachment was not processed as required by the Vail Town Code. IV. ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BODIES Planning and Environmental Commission: The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for forwarding to the Town Council a recommendation on any view corridor encroachment or amendment application, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12-22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code. Design Review Board: The Design Review Board has no review authority over a view corridor encroachment or amendment application. However, the Design Review Board is responsible for the final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of any accompanying design review application. Town Council: The Town Council is responsible for the final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of a view corridor encroachment or amendment application. The Town Council has the authority to hear and decide appeals from any decision, determination, or interpretation by the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board. The Town Council may also call up a decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board under certain conditions. Town of Vail Page 2 V. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS VAIL LAND USE PLAN CHAPTER II: LAND USE PLAN GOALS / POLICIES (in part) The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as expressed through the series of public meetings that were held throughout the project. A set of initial goals were developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions were brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect a general consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts and ideas initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan are as follows. 1. General Growth / Development 1.1. Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 4. Village Core / Lionshead 4.2. Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 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. 5.4. Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. Town of Vail Page 3 TITLE 12: ZONING REGULATIONS CHAPTER 12-21: VIEW CORRIDORS (IN PART) 12-22-1. PURPOSE. - The town believes that preserving certain vistas is in the interest of the town's residents and guests. Specifically, the town believes that. - A.

B. It is desirable to designate, preserve and perpetuate certain views for the enjoyment and environmental enrichment for the residents and guests of the town. C. The preservation of such views will strengthen and preserve the town's unique environmental heritage and attributes. D. The preservation of such views will enhance the aesthetic and economic vitality and values of the town. E. The preservation of such views is intended to promote design which is compatible with the surrounding natural and built environment, and is intended to provide for natural light to buildings and in public spaces in the vicinity of the view corridors. F. The preservation of such views will include certain focal points such as the Clock Tower and Rucksack Tower, which serve as prominent landmarks within Vail village and contribute to the community's unique sense of place. 12-22-3. LIMITATIONS ON CONSTRUCTION. - No part of a structure shall be permitted to encroach into any view corridor set forth in this chapter unless an encroachment is approved in accordance with section 12-22-6 of this chapter. 12-22-4. ADOPTION OF VIEW CORRIDORS. - Photographs on record with the department of community development and the following legal descriptions are hereby approved and adopted as official view corridors protecting views within the town. The photographs taken represent the boundaries defined by the legal descriptions. The camera used to take the photographs was held five and four - tenths feet (5.4) above the instrument, which is approximate eye level for most adults. A thirty five millimeter (35 mm) camera was used for each photograph, however, once developed, some photographs were cropped or enlarged to improve the graphic representation of each view corridor.

REVIEW CRITERIA Before acting on a view corridor encroachment, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposal: 1. That the literal enforcement of Section 12-22-3 of this chapter would preclude a reasonable development of a proposed structure on the applicant's land. The Villa Valhalla Building was constructed in 1966. The original construction of this building pre -dates the Town's 1992 adoption of view corridors in Vail Village. The applicant is proposing a 250 sq. ft. addition to Unit 10 of the Villa Valhalla Building. The proposed addition is located on the north side of the existing building and will allow the expansion of the existing unit to improve its functional characteristics. The dormer is the only practical means available to increase the value and usefulness of the unit. The literal enforcement of the view corridor regulations would prohibit this reasonable expansion. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment into an existing view corridor meets this review criterion. 2. That the development of the structure proposed by the applicant would not be such as to defeat the purposes of this chapter. The proposed encroachment into View Point #5 includes an exterior wall encroachment of 8"-6" to facilitate the construction of the dormer addition on the north side of the subject building. Staff believes the proposed encroachment is minor in scope and does not block the originally intended views of the Gore Range. As shown on the exhibit below, the existing Founders Parking Garage encroachment has altered the view corridor significantly. Town of Vail Page 8 Based upon a review of Section 12-22-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code: Staff finds that the proposed encroachment into existing View Point #5 will not diminish the civic pride or the public interest of the town. Staff finds that the proposed encroachment will not detract from the enjoyment or environmental enrichment of the existing view corridor for Vail's residents or guests. Staff finds that the proposed encroachment will not weaken or eliminate the town's unique environmental heritage or attributes. Staff finds that the proposed view corridor encroachment will not diminish the aesthetics or economic vitality and values of the town. Staff finds that the proposed encroachment maintains the existing character and design of the Villa Valhalla Building which is compatible with the surrounding natural and built environment and provides adequate natural light to buildings and public spaces in the vicinity. Town of Vail Page 9 Staff finds that the proposed encroachment continues to preserve the remaining views of the Gore Range and its traverse that contribute to the community's sense of place. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment into the existing view corridor does not defeat the purposes of Section 12-22-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code, as outlined in Section V of this memorandum, and the proposed encroachment is consistent with this review criterion. 3. That the development proposed by the applicant would not be detrimental to the enjoyment of public pedestrian areas, public ways, public spaces, or public views. As identified above, the proposed encroachment into View Point #5 includes an exterior wall encroachment of 8'-6" to facilitate the construction of an addition to the subject building. Staff believes the proposed encroachment is minor in scope and will have a minimal impact on the pedestrian experience, as demonstrated by Figure #4 of the applicant's submittal. Please see page 5 of the Applicant's submittal, included as Attachment C. Due to the existing encroachments into the view corridor coupled with the scope of the proposed encroachment, staff finds the proposed view corridor encroachment will not be detrimental to the enjoyment of the public pedestrian areas, public ways, public spaces, or public view consistent with this review criterion. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The proposed encroachment into View Point #5 includes an exterior wall encroachment of 8'-6" to facilitate the construction of an addition to the north of the subject building. Staff believes the proposed encroachment is minor in scope and does not block the originally intended views of the Gore Range that remain as a result of the Founders Garage encroachment. The 250 sq. ft. proposed addition to Unit 10 of the Villa Valhalla Building increases the total gross residential floor area (GRFA) of the building from 12,776 sq. ft. to 13,026 sq. ft. This proposed GRFA is under the maximum GRFA of 20,412 sq. ft. allowed by Section 12-7A, Public Accommodation (PA) District, Vail Town Code. Because the property is over on its allowable number of units per acre for the zone district, the applicant is utilizing the allowances of Section 12-15-5 Additional Gross Residential Floor Area (250 Ordinance) to facilitate the improvement. The proposed addition causes no change to the existing setbacks, height, site coverage, landscaping area, or parking of the Villa Valhalla Building. Town of Vail Page 10 Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment into View Point #5 is consistent with this criterion. 5. That the proposed structure will not diminish the integrity or quality nor compromise the original purpose of the preserved view. As identified above, the proposed encroachment into View Point #5 includes an exterior wall encroachment of 8'-6" to facilitate the construction of a dormer addition to the north side of the subject building. Staff believes the proposed encroachment is minor in scope and does not block the originally intended views of the Gore Range. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment will not diminish the integrity or quality of the subject view corridor, nor will the proposed encroachment compromise the original purpose of the preserved view. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment to be consistent with this review criterion. Vill.

Architect Tyson Dearduff, Director of Architecture Kathy Heslinga, Office Manager Villa Valhalla Unit 10: View Corridor Encroachment A. Introduction PIERCE ARCHITECTS VAIL, COLORADO The owner of Unit 10 in Villa Valhalla is proposing a dormer addition as a means of adding 250 sq. ft. of GRFA to their unit. The proposed dormer and additional floor area are located within the existing footprint of Villa Valhalla. The project is currently under conceptual review by the Design Review Board. The proposed dormer is located on the west end of the northernmost roof slope of the Villa Valhalla building at 384 Gore Creek Drive, as shown in Figure 1. It is clear from the definitions and original photograph of View Point #5 (section 12-22-4, paragraph D of the Vail, Colorado Town Code) that part of the proposed dormer will encroach into View Corridor #5. Figure 2 shows the boundary of the view corridor coinciding with the lower section of the western edge of the north roof (between points C2 and D). Because the dormer is so close to this edge, a small part of it will be visible from the view point. 1650 Fallridge Road, Suite C-1 Vail, Colorado 81657 P: 970.476.6342 F: 970.476.4901 www.vailarchitects.com William F.

Criteria for Encroachment The review criteria for an encroachment into an adopted view corridor are provided in the Vail Town Code as follows: 12-22-6-C. "Criteria for Encroachment: No encroachment into an existing view corridor shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the encroachment meets all of the following criteria: 1. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would preclude a reasonable development of a proposed structure on the applicant's land." 1650 Fallridge Road, Suite C-1 Vail, Colorado 81657 P: 970.476.6342 F: 970.476.4901 www.vailarchitects.com William F. Pierce, Architect PIERCE ARCHITECTS Tyson Dearduff, Director of Architecture Kathy Heslinga, Office Manager VAIL, COLORADO A dormer addition in this location is one of the few reasonable means of adding floor area to Unit 10. The form of this dormer addition was chosen to minimize the volume needed to allow for practical use of the upper floor of Unit 10. Unit 10 is the only unit in the building where a similarly sized dormer addition would encroach into this view corridor. A similar dormer added to Unit 9 (the unit east of Unit 10), for example, would not encroach into the view corridor. 2. "That the development of the structure by the applicant would not be such as to defeat the purpose of this chapter." The purposes of the View Corridor chapter are stated in the Vail Town Code as follows: "12-22-1: Purpose: The town believes that preserving certain vistas is in the interest of the town's residents and guests. Specifically, the town believes that: 1. The protection and perpetuation of certain mountain views and other significant views from various pedestrian public ways within the town will foster civic pride and is in the public interest of the town. 2. It is desirable to designate, preserve and perpetuate certain views for the enjoyment and environmental enrichment for the residents and guests of the town. 3. The preservation of such views will strengthen and preserve the town's unique environmental heritage and attributes. 4. The preservation of such views will enhance the aesthetic and economic vitality and values of the town. 5. The preservation of such views is intended to promote design which is compatible with the surrounding natural and built environment, and is intended to provide for 1650 Fallridge Road, Suite C-1 Vail, Colorado 81657 P: 970.476.6342 F: 970.476.4901 www.vailarchitects.com William F.

The preservation of such views will include certain focal points such as the Clock Tower and Rucksack Tower, which serve as prominent landmarks within Vail village and contribute to the community's unique sense of place. (Ord. 18(1992) § 1)" Because the encroachment is limited and does not block the view of the Gore Range that this adopted view corridor protects, the view corridor and all of its benefits and purposes as stated above will be preserved. 3. "That the development proposed by the applicant would not be detrimental to the enjoyment of the public pedestrian areas, public ways, public spaces, or public views." The impact to the enjoyment of the public pedestrian areas, ways, spaces, and views around the encroachment would be nearly imperceptible. The dormer will match the slope and west edge of the existing dormer on the south side of the ridge (see Figure 1). Figures 4 and 5 show street level views of the building and demonstrate the small visual impact of the proposed dormer. If anything, the new dormer provides visual interest on an otherwise large, unbroken roof plane. Figure 4.

Purpose: To protect views of the Gore Range as seen from Hanson Ranch Road and East Gore Creek Drive." The small size of the encroachment maintains the existing views of the Gore Range depicted in the view corridor (Figure 3). The Gore Range is only visible to the left of a stand of large evergreen trees. These trees are situated directly behind the proposed encroachment, rendering the encroachment insignificant. 1650 Fallridge Road, Suite C-1 Vail, Colorado 81657 P: 970.476.6342 F: 970.476.4901 www.vailarchitects.com VICINITY MAP �f•"`T PROPOSED DORMER DRAWING CONVENTIONS aEaHEE, wHEAE aHowl AooIS NO MaEA �wo H.-TOA w Ow '". 1TI31( wH --- RAE IN E� M7 AooM NIMA 0 f.

(PEC160003) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY As a result of annexation into the Town of Vail, 35± duplex properties (2 dwelling units on a single development site) have been deemed Legal Nonconforming by the Vail Town Code due to not meeting the minimum lot size for 2 dwelling units. As Legal Nonconforming properties, homeowners are unable to utilize any available Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) that may exist on the property that would allow an increase in the size of the home or to redevelop the property as a two (2) unit or duplex property. This situation gives rise to questions of fairness and equity between homeowners in the Town of Vail. In addition to these properties being unable to utilize GRFA or redevelop, the unintended consequences of the existing policy include property deterioration aesthetically, environmentally and safety -wise (building codes) from lack of investment and a perceived lack of equity, fairness and consistency between property owners. Through Town of Vail property records, GIS and Eagle County records, the Community Development Department has attempted to identify all known properties that meet the required characteristics, namely annexed with two dwelling units constructed, still contain two dwelling units and be on a property less than 14,000 sq. ft. Although staff is reasonably confident that most of the subject properties have been identified, the possibility of other properties meeting the required characteristics exists. Property owners who feel they may have been wrongly excluded from this class may demonstrate through documentation such as approved building permit plans, Eagle County Assessor tax information or other materials that the property in question meets the criteria necessary to be affected by the proposed prescribed regulation amendment. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The Town of Vail has grown from its inception in 1966 to its size today largely through annexations of properties platted previously in Eagle County under Eagle County jurisdiction. At the time of annexation into the Town of Vail, many of these properties had homes already constructed under Eagle County rules and regulations. Approximately thirty five (35) properties were developed in unincorporated Eagle County (and later annexed) with two (2) dwelling units (duplex) on lots whose sizes do not conform to the current minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet, required for two (2) dwelling units. As a result, these properties are deemed Legal Nonconforming by the Vail Town Code. This means that the properties were legally and lawfully constructed, but do not conform to current code requirements. One of the consequences of being a nonconforming property as it relates to density (number of dwelling units on a lot) is that homeowners are unable to utilize any available Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) that may exist on the property that would allow an increase in the size of the home or to redevelop the property as a two (2) dwelling unit or duplex property. The Community Development Department has initiated this application and , informing potential property owners. It should be noted that this proposal only pertains to the subject properties and has no impact on the existing minimum lot size for all other Two - Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) and Two -Family Residential (R) zoned properties. III. BACKGROUND Many existing homes within the Town of Vail were constructed legally in Eagle County before being annexed and subsequently zoned by the Town of Vail. This application of zoning has resulted in many properties being deemed Legal Nonconforming due to discrepancies between the constructed properties and the dimensional and development standards of the Town Code. Many of these nonconformities are minor, including building setbacks, which do not pose significant barriers to homeowners wishing to expand or redevelop their properties. Other nonconformities including use or density (dwelling units per acre/site) create a different scenario. Properties that were developed in unincorporated Eagle County with two (2) units (duplex) on lots whose sizes do not conform to the current minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet, required for two (2) units are unable to make additions or redevelop their properties, regardless of available GRFA on the site. Prior to the rewriting of the calculation and allotment of GRFA in 2005-2006, properties nonconforming due to density controls were eligible for additional GRFA pursuant to Section 12-15-5 Additional Gross Floor Area (250 Ordinance). Since the adoption of the changes to GRFA, the only alterations that have been permitted are those that result in no net increase in GRFA, including interior remodels and exterior alterations. The Town Town of Vail Page 2 has consistently allowed Duplex Subdivisions to separate ownership, regardless of conforming or nonconforming status. Currently, the only conforming way to have more than one dwelling unit on a P/S or R District zoned property under 14,000 square feet in lot size is to restrict one unit as a Type I Employee Housing Unit (EHU). This designation also comes with incentives related to GRFA (+550 sq. ft.), site coverage (+5%), and landscaping (-5%). None of the subject properties have taken this approach. Propertv Characteristics The subject properties fall into two zoning districts; the Two -Family Residential (R) District and the Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District. There are 9 properties located within the Two -Family Residential (R) District and 24 properties within the Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District that do not meet the minimum lot size (14,000 square feet) that were annexed into the Town of Vail with, and currently have, two units. The subject properties must meet all of the following requirements to be included in this discussion: • Properties must have been annexed into the Town. • Properties must have had two units on the property at time of annexation. • Properties must still have two units on the property. • Properties must have less than 14,000 square feet of lot area. The charts below illustrate the existing size of the subject lots: Lot sizes of R District Lots less than 14,000 square feet with 2 Units 14000 12000 10000 w y 8000 d N 6000 ° 4000 2000 0 Invidual Properties (9) Figure 1, 02/09/2016 Town of Vail Page 3 Lot sizes of P/S District Properties less than 14,000 square feet with with 2 units 14000 12000 10000 -71 w a 8000 d N in 6000 0 J 4000 2000 0 Figure 2, 02/09/2016 Individual Properties (24) All of the P/S District lots were annexed into the Town of Vail in 1986 or 1987 while the R Zoned lots were annexed in 1969 and 1974. All of the properties are designated on the Vail Land Use Map as Low Density Residential with the exception of four properties which are designated as Medium Density Residential. One of these properties is located on Garmisch Drive while the other three are located on West Gore Creek Drive. Town of Vail Page 4 IV. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The Prescribed Regulation Amendment is proposed tol amend the density control section of the Two -Family Residential (R) and the Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) Districts. The effect of this language will be to remove the nonconforming designation from the subject properties, allowing utilization of available GRFA or potential property redevelopment. The proposed language is as follows with new language in bold: 12-6C-8. DENSITY CONTROL., A. Dwelling Units. Not more than a total of two (2) dwelling units shall be permitted on each site with only one dwelling unit permitted on existing lots less than fourteen thousand (14, 000) square feet. 1. Exception: Properties that meet all of the following three (3) conditions shall be permitted a total of two (2) dwelling units on existing lots less than fourteen thousand (14,000) square feet. a. The property was annexed into the Town of Vail with two (2) existing dwelling units previously constructed in unincorporated Eagle County on a lot less than fourteen thousand (14,000) square feet. b. The property as of April 1, 2016 contained two (2) dwelling units on a lot less than fourteen thousand (14,000) square feet. c. At no time between property annexation and April 1, 2016 shall the property have contained less than two (2) dwelling units. 2. Discontinuance of Exception a. If at any time any property as described above develops/redevelops with only one (1) dwelling unit, this exception for the allowance of two (2) units shall no longer be valid for such property. 12-6D-8.

VI. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Staff believes that following provisions of the Vail Town Code and Vail Land Use Plan are relevant to the review of this proposal: Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code CHAPTER 12-1, TITLE, PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY (in part) Section 12-1-2. Purpose. - A. General. These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific. These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes. 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off-street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6.

To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. Town of Vail Page 7 10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Vail Land Use Plan 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. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 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. VII. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW 1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and Staff finds the prescribed regulation amendment further the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations by promoting the harmonious development of the Town's neighborhoods while maintaining established community qualities and economic values. In addition, the prescribed regulation amendment conserves and enhances residential communities of the highest qualities by providing opportunities for property improvement and redevelopment that are consistent with the residential character of the neighborhoods. Staff finds that this criterion has been met. 2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve 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 finds that the proposed prescribed regulations amendments will better implement or achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan. Specifically in the Vail Land Use Plan's adopted Goals and Policies, staff identified the following applicable statements: Town of Vail Page 8 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. 5. R esidential 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. Staff finds that this criterion has been met. 3. The text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and The affected properties are considered legal nonconforming per Section 12-18, Nonconforming Sites, Uses, Structures and Site Improvements. The overall intent of the section is to limit the number and extent of nonconforming uses and structures. This is intended to be accomplished through limitations on enlargements, redevelopment or restoration. The underlying premise is that at a point in time the nonconforming use or structure will no longer exist. This premise may not be entirely valid, especially with respect to duplex structures on undersized lots. Overtime, the Town of Vail has permitted some level of improvements to these properties to occur in addition to allowing the subdivision of ownership. Both of these activities have worked against the premise by reinforcing their presence and longevity in the community. None of the subject properties have redeveloped in such away as to come into conformance with existing regulations. As such, the existing regulation is no longer appropriate, necessitating the proposed revisions to the density control section of the Two -Family Residential (R) and the Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) Districts. Staff finds that this criterion has been met. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and Staff believes this text amendment will ensure a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with the Town's development objectives. Specifically, by removing the subject properties from the nonconforming designation, property improvements and redevelopment opportunities are more clearly understood by affected residents and decision makers. Staff finds that this criterion has been met. Town of Vail Page 9 5. Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. Vill. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval for the prescribed regulation amendment to the Vail Town Council. This recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed text amendment, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission pass the following motion: "The Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for a prescribed regulation amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Title 12, Sections 12-6C-8 and 12-6D-8, to provide an exception to the minimum lot size for properties in the Two -Family Residential (R) and the Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) Districts that were annexed into the Town of Vail with two dwelling units and are nonconforming due to lot size requirements, and setting forth details in regard thereto. " Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed prescribed regulation amendment, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes the following findings: 'Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V this memorandum, and the evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds. 1. That the amendment is consistent with 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 2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations outlined in Section 12-1-2, Purpose, Vail Town Code, -and 3.

I await hearing possible options for the 30 properties involved in the current discussions scheduled for the December 28th commission meeting. I understand the need for uniformity, but I feel very strongly, that these few properties should be grand -fathered in as they currently are into the building specifications for Vail. I see that as the only reasonable option. Thank you for your consideration.

I am writing to express my support for the staff and PEC initiating amendments to address issues with the non -conforming section of the zoning code as outlined in the Staff's December 281” memo. The Graces and I suspect other Vail home owners will be expressing their personal reasons for why they support amending this section of the zoning code. I will offer a more general, planning and zoning based perspective on this situation and why I believe existing provisions of the Town's non -conforming section are inconsistent, unnecessary and not in keeping with the Town's development objectives. Basics on Non -conforming Sites, Uses, Structures Virtually all zoning codes regulate uses, structures and sites that were lawfully created yet due to changes in development regulations no longer conform to current standards. The purpose of the Town's non -conforming chapter is "intended to limit enlargement, alteration, restoration, or replacement which would increase the discrepancv between existing conditions and the development standards". Continuance of Non -conforming Sites, Uses, Structures The code allows non -conforming situations to continue under the following circumstances: Non -Conforming Sites — May continue and "shall be deemed legally established building sites". Non -Conforming Uses — May continue provided the use shall not be enlarged to a greater site area or building floor area. Non -Conforming Structures — this section addresses four considerations: 12-18-5A. Lot and structure requirements — improvements that do not conform to setbacks, site coverage, height, etc. may continue and may be enlarged, provided "such enlargement does not further increase the discrepancy (or the non -conformity)". 12-18-5 B. Density Control — Structures that do not conform to density control (GRFA and dwelling units per acre) may be modified, "provided total GRFA of enlarged structure does not exceed the total GRFA of the pre-existing non -conforming structure". This provision means that if a property is non -conforming with respect to dwelling units it may be modified or enlarged but only if GRFA does not increase. This provision is the crux of this conversation. 12-18-5C. Open Space and Landscaping— Non -conforming situations can be enlarged provided open space and landscape requirements applicable to the proposed enlargement be satisfied.

Off Street Parking - Non -conforming situations can be enlarged provided parking requirements of the proposed enlargement shall be satisfied. Observations on How the Code Addresses Non -Conforming Situations It seems clear that with the exception of Density Control (12-18-5 B.), the Town's approach to non- conforming situations is generally not overly restrictive. For example — • A structure with a non -conforming setback condition may be enlarged and only the addition must conform to current setback standards. There is no requirement to remedy the non- conforming setback situation. • A building with a non -conforming parking condition may be expanded and new parking is required only for the new expansion. There is no requirement to remedy the non -conforming parking situation. The flexibility to expand these types of situations while not addressing the non -conforming aspect of the property is why I would characterize the Town's non -conforming section as "not overly restrictive". The manner in which Density Control is handled is different. In this case a property that is not conforming with respect to lot size and allowable dwelling units is not allowed to add GRFA, even if the property has allowable GRFA available. Not only does this provision "merge" two distinctly different development standards (GRFA and allowable units), it prohibits adding GRFA even when the addition of GRFA would not "increase the discrepancy" of the non -conforming situation (dwelling units). Section 12-18-5 B. is inconsistent with how it treats GRFA as compared to the flexibility the section affords other non -conforming situations and Section 12-18-5 B. is unnecessary because preventing a homeowner from adding otherwise allowable GRFA does nothing to exacerbate, or "increase the discrepancy" of a non -conforming dwelling unit situation. At a more general, policy level, section 12-18- 5 B. is not in keeping with the Town's development objectives to encourage the redevelopment and upgrading of properties. Nor does this section further the Town's desire for locals to live in Vail. Note that a significant percentage of existing homes that are in this non -conforming situation are owned by locals and this section creates an encumbrance or disincentive for locals to improve (and continue living in) their homes. I appreciate the time you are taking to evaluate this situation and look forward to working with staff and the Commission on a solution that maintains the integrity of the non -conforming chapter while relaxing the unnecessarily restrictive implications of Section 12-18-5 B.

(PEC160002) Applicant: Vail Hotel Partners, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Chris Neubecker SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Hotel Partners, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a major amendment to a Special Development District No. 4, Cascade Village, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the reduction of seven (7) accommodation units (292 units to 285 units, for a total reduction of 2,023 sq. ft.), creation of a new fitness center inside the hotel, new spa, new salon, larger hotel rooms, new porte-cochere at main entry, and changes to the terrace on the rear of the building, located at 1300 Westhaven Drive/Cascade Village. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval, with conditions to the Vail Town Council, of a major amendment to Special Development District (SDD) No. 4, Cascade Village, subject to the findings and conditions noted in Section IX of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Vail Hotel Partners, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, has requested a final review of a proposed amended development plan for an Area A of Special Development District (SDD) No. 4. The amendment would allow for the reduction of seven (7) accommodation units (292 units to 285 units, for a total reduction of 2,023 sq. ft.), creation of a new fitness center inside the hotel, new spa, new salon, larger hotel rooms, new porte-cochere at main entry, and changes to the terrace on the rear of the building. A total of 9 accommodation units are impacted by these changes, but the result is a net reduction of 7 accommodation units due to combining 4 units into 2 presidential suites. A vicinity map has been attached for reference (Attachment C). A major amendment is required for the reduction in the number of accommodation units. The changes to the uses inside the hotel on their own would require a minor amendment to the SDD, but are included in this application. Other proposed changes to the hotel include the addition of a spa, salon, fitness center, creating some larger hotel rooms, and minor exterior changes (including the new porte-cochere). Overall, there is no change in the size of the hotel. Some uses inside the hotel are changing, and some uses are either increasing or decreasing in size, but the net total area of the hotel will not change. The changes are proposed in conjunction with major upgrades to the hotel, including major interior renovations, which are proposed in order to bring the property up to the standards expected by the Starwood Luxury Collection, the new operator of the Cascade Hotel and Resort. The proposed changes would reduce the number of accommodation units, but will also bring a higher average daily rate. The addition of the Starwood brand will bring a new lodging franchise to Vail and also allow members of Starwood's Preferred Guest program to use their points in Vail. The new owners are also seeking to expand the use of the Cascade Hotel and Resort for more events and conferences, and these upgrades of part of that strategy. The applicant has provided a written narrative of their request, dated January 11, 2016 (Attachment A) and plans (Attachment B) dated January 4, 2016. A Vicinity Map (Attachment C) is also enclosed with this report. III. BACKGROUND SDD No. 4 History Special Development District No. 4 (SDD No. 4), Cascade Village, was adopted by Ordinance No. 5, Series of 1976. There have been many subsequent amendments to this SDD since its original adoption. Special Development District No. 4 originally included the following: • Area A Cascade Village (17.955 AC) • Area B Coldstream Condominiums (4.0 AC) • Area C Glen Lyon Primary/Secondary and Single Family Lots (9.1 AC) • Area D Glen Lyon Commercial Site (1.8 AC) • Area E Tract K (8.322 AC) Town of Vail Page 2 • Dedicated Open Space (32.078 AC) • Roads (4.7 AC) The entire Cascade Village development site is approximately 97.955 acres in size. The property was annexed into the Town of Vail under Eagle County jurisdiction; there is no underlying zoning for Cascade Village. The uses and development standards for the entire development site are outlined in the adopting ordinance for Special Development District No. 4.

Vill. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA No change No change No change +2.174 sq. ft. 1,500 sq. ft Before acting on a major amendment to a special development district amendment application, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposal: 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. No significant changes are proposed to the design or architecture of the building. A minor change is proposed to the porte-cochere at the main entrance to the hotel. The materials of the porte-cochere will be compatible with the design of the existing building. The porte-cochere and other exterior architectural changes will be reviewed by the Design Review Board. The overall design of the property is expected to remain much as it is today, and there is no change proposed to the bulk, height, scale or character of the building. No new floor area is proposed. At the rear of the property, an area of approximately 1,500 square feet has been identified for a future swimming pool. This area is between the existing hotel and the Gore Valley Trail along Gore Creek, and is currently landscaped. The pool is not proposed to be constructed at this time, but the applicant would like the pool included in this amendment so that it may be added in the future without requiring another SDD amendment. As a result, the location and size of the pool are included in this amendment. Installation of this pool would require removal of some existing landscaping and a reduction in the buffer zones to the property when viewed from the south. The installation of the pool would also require approval of a Design Review Board application and a building permit. Overall, visual integrity and orientation will all remain as -is. Town of Vail Page 6 Staff finds the proposal does comply with this criterion. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The applicant proposes to make some changes to the existing uses in order to provide more amenities for the hotel guests and to better utilize space. A reduction of seven (7) accommodation units is proposed (292 units to 285 units, a reduction of 2,023 sq. ft. of GRFA); the space from these hotel rooms removed will be used to create two new presidential suites, add a new spa (5,800 sq. ft.), salon (650 sq. ft.), and create a new library (602 sq. ft.). The additional amenities and presidential suites are important to bring the property up to the standards of the Starwood Luxury Collection. The Cascade Hotel has averaged 60% annual capacity over the past three years. Also in the past three years, there has been an average of 33 nights when demand exceeded 285 rooms, with the greatest at 43 room nights. There is no new net area being added to the hotel building. Uses are being rearranged within the building, such as the bar in the Fireside lounge being moved to be within the restaurant, and new spa, locker rooms, salon, fitness area, and kids camp added to areas previously occupied by administration, back of house operations and hotel room (see pages 6 and 7 of the applicant's narrative.) There are changes to the net floor area within the hotel (areas or numbers used for calculating parking) for some uses. These changes are due to the relocation of uses within the building and the refinement in the calculations of these areas as they relate to parking. For instance, the restaurant parking calculation is based upon seating area which is modified due to the introduction of the bar within areas previously used to calculate seating area. Some commercial areas for retail and market/cafe areas were not previously calculated accurately and some areas appear to be reduced in area. New uses within the building have the following floor areas: New Use Spa Salon Fitness Kids Camp New Library New Condo Check -in area Former Use Hotel rooms, meeting room, and operations Hotel operations Hotel operations Hotel operations Hotel room Retail area Area 5,800 sq. ft. 650 sq. ft. 2,701 sq. ft. 650 sq. ft. 602 sq. ft. 499 sq. ft.

TOTAL 27,363 sq. ft. 28,068 sq. ft. *Amenities that are designed primarily for hotels guests have generally not been included for calculating parking demand. The new uses, activity and density will remain compatible with the existing hotel and surrounding development, and will provide an efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. Town of Vail Page 8 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. SDD No.4 currently requires 409 parking spaces, and 421 spaces are currently provided. This number does not include parking spaces recently approved but not yet constructed on the upper level of the parking structure. (The applicant recently obtained approval of a minor SDD Amendment, PEC150035, to allow for the conversion of three indoor tennis courts on the top level of the parking structure into parking. The approved project will add 63 enclosed parking spaces and 14 outdoor parking spaces for a total of 77 spaces.) SDD No.4 requires that 75% of the parking spaces for Area A shall be within a parking structure or building, with the exception of Millrace IV, Scenario I and the Westhaven Condominiums, where 66.6% and 71%, respectively, of required parking shall be enclosed in a building. A 10% multiple use credit is also allowed, which has been applied to obtain the required parking noted above. The proposed changes will result in a reduction of 50 required parking spaces, assuming that amenities such as the spa and salon are not required to provide parking. These uses are primarily for the use by hotel guests. If parking is required to be provided for the spa and salon, then there would be an excess of about 37 parking spaces. Use Number Area Parking Required Accommodation Units 285 232 Restaurant 3,250 sq. ft. 27.1 Market 1,095 sq. ft. 3.65 Retail 8,976 sq. ft. 30.65 Conference 8,297 sq. ft. 69 Spa 5,800 sq. ft. 19.3 Salon 650 sq. ft. 2.16 TOTAL 383.86 PROPOSED 421 EXCESS PARKING 37.14 No changes are proposed to the existing parking with this application. The applicant currently leases parking spaces from a private owner of the 3rd level of the Cascade parking structure. The parking on this level is required to provide parking for the hotel and the retail uses within Area A of SDD No.4. When the Vail Ski Resort is open for the ski season, the parking must be made available to the general public, although a fee may be charged. This requirement is enforced by a covenant between the parking owner, the Town of Vail and Vail Resorts. Town of Vail Page 9 No changes are required or proposed to the loading or delivery areas currently provided. Staff finds the proposal complies 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 Vail Comprehensive Plan and found the following documents and associated goals, objectives, statements applicable to this proposal. Vail Land Use Plan (in part) 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. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 1.13 Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 2. Skier/Tourist Concerns 2.1. The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.2. The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 2.5 The community should improve non -skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 3. Commercial 3.1. The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently. Town of Vail Page 10 3.2. The Village and Lionshead areas are the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of destination skiers. The applicant's proposal to upgrade the hotel and its amenities is supported by the policies of the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 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. The Cascade Hotel & Resort is immediately adjacent to Gore Creek. None of the changes proposed in this SDD amendment will impact the creek or are within the 50' Gore Creek stream setback. This portion of Special Development District No.4, Cascade Village, is not located within any identified geologic hazard, rock fall, debris flow, avalanche area or floodplain. There are currently no violations or encroachments into the Town owned stream tract on this parcel. There is one violation on an adjacent parcel owned by the applicant, where the owners of 1210-A Westhaven Lane (across Gore Creek) have installed a walking path across the stream tract, and have installed a picnic table, lawn chairs and a stone wall on the applicant's property. The Town's Environmental division has made contact with the owners of 1210-A Westhaven Lane. Staff finds the proposal complies with 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 does not include any significant changes to the site plan, building design and location, or open space provisions. Minor exterior changes are proposed to the porte-cochere at the main hotel entrance, and minor changes are proposed to the terrace area at the rear of the property. These changes will keep the property in character with the existing developments in Area A of this Special Development District. The overall aesthetic qualities of the community have changed since the development of the Cascade Hotel and Resort. Many of the newer lodging properties have used materials that better represent the alpine setting of Vail, with more abundant use of stone and timbers. Although no major exterior upgrades are proposed at this time, minor changes are proposed near the main entry to add accents of natural stone and timber. Exterior design changes will be reviewed by the Design Review Board. Town of Vail Page 11 Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. The only change proposed to the traffic circulation system is the change to the porte- cochere and revision to the landscape island. The island is proposed to be modified slightly to improve turning movements. This change has been reviewed by the Vail Fire Department, and the applicant is providing details on the fire truck turning movements and the fire connections and hydrants, as requested by the Fire Marshal. More detailed review on the fire truck staging will also be provided during the Design Review Board review. No other changes are proposed to the traffic circulation system. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. No major changes are proposed to the existing landscaping or open space at this time. Minor changes are proposed the landscape island at the porte-cochere, but there will be no net changes in the landscaped area. At the rear of the property, an area of approximately 1,500 square feet has been identified for a future swimming pool. This area is between the existing hotel and the Gore Valley Trail along Gore Creek, and is currently landscaped. The pool is not proposed to be constructed at this time, but the applicant would like the pool included in this amendment so that it may be added in the future without requiring another SDD amendment. As a result, the location and size of the pool are included in this amendment. Installation of this pool would require removal of some existing landscaping and a reduction in the buffer zones to the property when viewed from the south. The installation of the pool would require approval of a Design Review Board application and a building permit. Even with the new pool, the proposal will maintain functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. Staff finds the proposal complies with 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. Town of Vail Page 12 No changes are proposed to the phasing plan or subdivision plan. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. IX.

Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado 81657 Call to Order Members present Brian Gillette, Webb Martin, John Rediker, Henry Pratt, Kirk Hansen, John Ryan Lockman Members Absent: Ludwig Kurz 2. A request for review of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 12-813-3 Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12- 16 Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for the installation of parking in the Chalet Road right -of- way and the conversion of the existing tennis courts to pickle ball courts, located at 461Vail Valley Drive, Tract F2, Vail Village Filing 5, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC150037) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Todd Oppenheimer Planner: Chris Neubecker Planner Neubecker walked the commission through the proposal. Todd Oppenheimer, representing the applicant, elaborated on Chris's introduction and referenced active pickleball members in the audience. Todd provided details on the proposed reconstruction of the existing courts for pickleball including materials, orientation, parking and landscaping. Commissioner Gillette asked why this use is being proposed if there is a potential noise issue and why this isn't being proposed at Ford Park? Scott O'Connell from Vail Recreation District (VRD) spoke to the clay courts at Ford Park and to the noise generated by the pickle ball being within the town's limits. Scott also spoke to the site visit by the Town Council. Mr. Oppenheimer elaborated more on the noise generated by the activity. Commissioner Gillette asked about the surface conditions at Ford Park. Mr. O'Connell spoke to all of the courts being resurfaced recently. Commissioner Rediker asked about noise complaints. Oppenheimer answered that no complaints have been received. Commissioner Hansen asked for clarification on hours of operation and times of year of use. O'Connell spoke to the courts not being cleared for snow in the winter, and the courts needing to be vacated for maintenance in October. Hours would be dawn to dusk. Commissioner Pratt asked about parking management. Oppenheimer responded that there was no management proposed. Commissioner Rediker asked if these parking spots are going to be reserved or managed. Oppenheimer thought that with the Town's parking garages free in summer, that no demand is apparent from non-pickleball users for this space. Public Comment: Courtney Kline, manager at the Ram's Horn, spoke to concerns about the noise and Town Council's directive to work with the neighbors and wondered why we would wait for complaints to institute remedies. Dan Reynolds, Attorney representing All Seasons, Vail Trails Chalet, Vail Trails East, and Texas Townhomes, expressed concern with more noise, parking and use and its lack of compatibility with the residential properties. Dan spoke to the parking taking away area for potential landscaping. He questioned what would happen if the noise mitigation was ineffectual. Dan also spoke to alternatives in location, design and management. Recommended conditions of approval including sound baffling on fences and a landscape plan, both which should be evaluated by private consultants. Gillette asked for clarification regarding the proposed conditions of approval from Dan Reynolds. Rediker asked Dan if the change to pickleball from tennis exacerbates the issues he mentioned. Reynolds responded that the increase in participation increases the odds. Rediker further asked how additional people in the neighborhood destroy the character of the neighborhood. Reynolds feels that it is the noise being generated by the paddle and the additional people impact the character. Charlie Penwill, former Parks and Recreation Director in the 1970's, spoke to his support for pickleball and the historic use of the area which has included recreational activities. Charlie also spoke to the concerns expressed by Dan Reynolds. Commissioner Hansen asked about court layout and if it should be altered. Charlie spoke to the need of proper orientation of the courts. Rick Sackbauer spoke to his desire for the inclusion of a drinking fountain, a bike rack and elevated benches for viewing pickleball matches. Commissioner Rediker asked about the social aspect of the game and how the player turnover occurred. Sackbauer explained the game and the pace and how games are shortened when others are waiting. Gillette asked about the courts at Red Sandstone. Sackbauer spoke to the temporary conversion of the basketball court at Red Sandstone for pickleball use. The pickleball courts are used in the evenings and on weekends. Jerry Stevens, pickleball coordinator, spoke to the drop -in nature of the sport here in Vail and other characteristics of the sport. Rediker asked about operational characteristics of the current facility at Red Sandstone. Stevens spoke to how the courts were set up and how people coordinated to wait for the next match. Rediker asked if there are better ways to program the space from what is being shown. Penwill spoke to how the space is planned including the planned waiting area not within the court and how the waiting area interacts with casual bystanders. Jim Lamont, representing Vail Home Owners Association, raised issues including waterbody and stream setbacks that he feels has been ignored, restroom facilities that are needed (a given) with the creation of a park, and a proper streetscape. Recommends conditions of approval related to things that may change in the short term including the streamtract issue and soundproofing. He recommended a possible reduction in number of courts from 6 to 4 to make room for other improvements. Jeff Babb, Vail Resorts, spoke to the restroom facilities in the Golden Peak building across the street, of which there are two (upper and lower floors). The restrooms on the second the floor are open sometimes during the summer but generally the building is locked in the summer. The parking lot is by permit only which is managed more in the winter than the summer. Some special events use the lot in the summer. There have been discussions with the Vail Recreation District but not into specifics. Larkspur restaurant has planned changes to their business model and no longer operates a restaurant on a daily basis in the summer. Commissioner Ryan requested clarification on the fencing and noise proofing proposed. Oppenheimer spoke to the fence height being flexible and a typo in the memo. Ryan spoke to his general support for the proposal. Commissioner Hansen feels this will be a good pocket park for the neighborhood. Feels there has been ample time for the public to weigh in and will support this project. Rediker is not certain if an 8' fence will be adequate. Feels that noise will increase but does not know if it will be at a problematic level. Inquired about Mill Creek. Oppenheimer spoke to Mill Creek in this area and generally how drainage works in the vicinity. Rediker - 8 ft. fence vs. 10 ft fence — sound barrier needed. West and north side needs more noise barrier but not on south side. South side concrete paving area should be rethought. More room for queueing. Increase vegetation beneficial to stream tract so more vegetation should go in. A formalized agreement with Vail Resorts for restroom use should be looked at. Supports project but only voting in favor with redesign with more vegetation and restrooms access. Commissioner Webb — Wanted to confirm what the percentage of landscape to hardscape area is. Generally in favor of project. OK with parking layout. Concurs with Commissioner Rediker about need for restrooms. Recommends better signage. Commissioner Gillette — Concurs with Commissioner Webb's comments. Oppenheimer spoke to restroom use, and that the requested use of restrooms at Golden Peak has been declined by Vail Resorts. Gillette — concrete patio is not large enough for queueing. Opportunity on east side of courts to make more riparian area. Look at Manor Vail and see if they'll allow Town of Vail to restore the stream. Wait on opaque barrier and hold off until more data justifies it. Wait a season before installing barrier. Drainage should be looked at (from courts to north) and see if water runoff can be held on site rather than let run across adjacent parking lot to north. Oppenheimer spoke to the drainage and says it follows historical drainage pattern and is treated better by allowing to drain as is. Gillette- Water quality vault should be a part of this project. Rediker — inquired of any written testimony received by town or Town Council that PEC has not seen. Neubecker: No other material submitted to Town Council that is not part of record of this hearing is available today. Notice was published in accordance with Town ordinances. Issue was before Council in November 2015. Greg Hall spoke to Council's hearing of tennis vs pickleball. Gillette: How does water work on site? Oppenheimer spoke to current water situation — no drinking facilities available. Chairman Pratt: generally in favor of the application but with conditions. Some reconciliation with Vail Resorts about restrooms at Golden Peak should be arranged. Mill Creek is severely degraded and Town should take the lead to enhance the riparian zone on east side of courts. Plant more native species along banks. Sound barrier should be installed from the start and fences should be ten feet tall rather than 8; East side too to absorb the sound of the game. Parking is biggest issue and parking should perhaps be reduced to provide more green space along west side of courts. Parking should be signed for exclusive use of the courts. Oppenheimer requested to table the application to bring some plan changes back to PEC. Staff confirmed that's a fair direction. Chairman Pratt looking for show of hands for water quality vault as condition of approval and no Commissioners were in favor of that. Water quality important but not fair to tie water quality vault to this project. Pratt spoke to need of restrooms and favors an agreement with Vail Resorts to provide public restrooms but would not make that a condition of approval. Would like to see more landscaping particularly on the north and west. Hansen reiterated his desire to see a larger concrete patio on south side. Oppenheimer spoke to size as designed at 500 sq. ft. in accordance with the site constraints. Stated that there is additional space to the north of the courts. There is a parking easement along the north property line used by Texas Townhomes for use that could be revoked by the Town if the space is needed for public use. Pratt reiterated he'd like to see the parking reduced so it doesn't become formalized parking. Bike rack and more landscaping should be installed in lieu of parking.

This report will focus on the town's electricity use and how it relates to energy efficiency goals outlined by the plan. Additional presentations will examine other town energy uses and impacts since 2006 which is used as the baseline year for the sustainability plan. Background The 2009 Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan identified a number of action steps and programs for the town to manage its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan was developed to help grow a more balanced community and ensure a greater consideration of the natural environment. The plan has 6 main goals: 1. Waste Diversion and Recycling 2. Energy Efficiency 3. Ecosystem Health 4. Sustainable Economic and Social Development 5. Public Education and Communication 6. Transportation This review of the town's energy usage focuses on goal two, Energy Efficiency: Reduce the town of Vail municipal and Community Energy Use by 20% below 2006 levels by 2020, in order to effectively reduce the Town's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and impact on global climate change. Electricity is only one part of the town's total energy portfolio. Follow-up presentations will examine the other utilities (natural gas and water) as well as vehicle fleet fuel usage. III. Utility Provider: The Town of Vail purchases electricity through Holy Cross Energy (HCE) much like all residential and commercial customers in the valley. HCE is a not -for -profit member owned cooperative covering customers in Eagle, Pitkin, Garfield, Mesa, and Gunnison Counties. HCE is in the process of reducing the environmental impact of its operations and power grid. This direction is supported by the company's mission statement: "Holy Cross Energy is committed to providing its members with the best possible services at a reasonable and competitive cost consistent with sound business and environmental practices" HCE has a goal of reaching 30% renewable generation by 2020; this goal is part of ongoing efforts to reduce the company's impact on the environment and global climate change. As part of this goal, HCE actively purchasing renewables in the form of wind, solar, micro -hydro, biomass, mine methane, and other sources as available. HCE produces an annual carbon intensity (lb/kWh) report (Figure 1) which provides the greenhouse gas impact of electricity sold through the co-op. As a result of purchases in renewables and aggressive goals, HCE has been able to reduce the greenhouse gas impact of their customers power needs.

This is the baseline year of the sustainability plan and since then annual electricity consumption has steadily declined. The town's total use was down to 4,769,331 kWh in 2015 or a 31 % reduction over 2006 levels. This improvement in efficiency is a result of the sustainability plan implementation and included LED lighting upgrades, improved building controls and efficiencies, employee education programs, and solar panel instillations. This reduction in total electricity was achieved despite an expansion of town facilities including a new fire station (West Vail), improvements at Ford Park, and the Lionshead Welcome Center and Bus Terminal.

The reduced carbon intensity from HCE electricity generation (Figure 1) helps to reduce the town's overall carbon per kWh. Comparing 2015 to the 2006 baseline, the town's reduction equated to a 44% reduction in CO2 emissions attributable to electricity consumption. In addition to improving efficiency, the town is also generating energy through solar panels in Lionshead and Vail Village. This energy production from these panels is relatively modest, but contributed to the town's energy reduction. The 2011 installation of Solar Panels in Lionshead included metering which allows the town to track production at this location. These solar panels have generated just over 57 Megawatts of electricity which is enough to power 5.4 homes for 1 year (figure 5).
