The regular meeting of the Planning Commission was called to order at 2:05 p.m. in the Conference Roam of the .Municipal Building. The following members were present: Dave Sage, Chairman Bill Hanlon Merv Lapin Gordon Pierce Hans Weibel Jen Wright • • Others present: Keith Caroselli Jim 5levin Lee Caroselli Daphne S1.evin Dudley Abbott Irene Westby Jahn Eden Diana Toughill Dave Sage reviewed the Pension Isabel addition for the Planning Commission members who were not present at the special meeting on September 10. The Planning Commission questioned whether or not the proposed addition had been reviewed and approved by the Vail Associates Architectural Control Committee. Manfred Sehober has been informed that he must get their approval. The main concern is whether it would be to the advantage of Pension Isabel to go to the expense of hiring an architect to do mare detailed drawings i~ the Planning Commission is opposed to any addition per se. The members of the ~'lanning Commission who were absent at the special meeting were polled and John Eden was instructed to go ahead with more drawings. Gordon Pierce presented the working drawings for the Red Lion addition which had previously been approved by the Town Council. These drawings were presented by Mr. Pierce to the Planning Commission, acting as the Design Review Board, as a courtesy since the addition does not yet have a building permit. Merv Lapin wanted to know if the Flanning Commission could require Larry Burdick to sign away his rights to the street as a can-- dition for approval. Tt was felt that this is a question for the Town Attorney and the Town Council and not a matter for the Design Review Board. The design of the project was reviewed and Mr. Pierce was asked why he chose the curved line for the north- west side of the addition. He replied he felt it followed the line of Seibert Circle and also provided a better view on Bridge Street by not using a square earner. The Town Staff was requested to check an the legal aspects of the owners' rights to the street. The Planning Commission, acting as the Design Review Board, approved the design for the Red Lion Addition with Gordon Pierce abstaining. Dave Sage then read a letter from Mr. Shapiro regarding the Planning Commission review of his request for exemption from the Eagle County Subdivision Regulations. The Planning Commission voted to. compose a letter to Mr. Shapiro stating that our repay to the County would have been different if the Planning Commission had the proposed covenants along with the request for exemption. As the Vail Associates Architectural Control. Board has given their approval, the Steve Meyer residence was given final design review approval and the building permit can be issued.

Dudley Abbott then presented a preliminary annexation plat to the Planning Commission far property located west and north of Sandstone.

Mr. Abbott is proposing 18 units, two-story with parking beneath on .69 acres and is also proposing a swimming pool. HDMF zoning would be required to accommodate this number of units. The Planning Commission re- quested a summary of the HDMF and also MDMF zoning on this preliminary plat.

The following members were present; William J. Ruoff, Chairman William Hanlon i Lou Parker Gordon R. Pierce Willis J. Wright, Jr. The first item on the agenda was the sign for the LIQUOR & WINE SHOP at Crossroads. Irene Westbye represented the shop and had previously been requested (Planning Commission meeting of September 1.4) to resubmit a color sample for the change from black to dark brown. The sample was presented and unan~.mausly approved by the Board. Tt was also noted that, in accordance with a prior agreement of the Town with Crossroads, the Liquor & Wine Shop would be allowed to keep the red, hanging identifi- cation sign, in addition to the individual wall sign. The second item was the design review for the DAIRY DEPOT, which is the change of three rooms at the Vail Village Inn into a grocery store. Dan and Betty O'Brien were present, and it was noted that the alteratians would be the store front only and that there will be no alterations made around the corner. The design was unanimously approved as submitted. There was also brief discussion regarding the sign for the Dairy Depot; however, a formal application had not been submitted and, therefore, will. be reviewed at the next meeting after applica- tion has been received.

The following members were present: William J. Ruoff, Chairman William Hanlon Lou Parker Gordon R. Pierce Willis J. Wright, Jr. The first item discussed was the Town o~ Vail GOLD PEAK BUS STOP plans {dated October 4, 3.973). Bill Pierce of the Town of Vail Staff made the presentation. Gordon Pierce asked whether or not it had been considered.to extend a portion of the raaf of the present structure rather than creating another building. Bill Pieres replied that it had been considered, but it was determined that the buses would not have enough room to go through and turn around back onto the road. There was some discussion of whether or not other bus stops were planned for the area and if they would be of the same type. It had been the Town's feeling that each bus stop should reflect the particular area in which it was located. There was also a question of the aesthetics of putting another structure in front of the Gold Peak building. The members of the Board felt it would be desirable to contact the master planners and determ~.ne how many bus stops were planned for the- area and what is being proposed for the entire transportation system. They felt they did not want to consider each structure on a piecemeal basis, but would rather consider an entire plan. Also discussed was the ambulance and employee parking and the need for area designated for the unloading and loading of cars. After some further discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the landscaping plan as submitted and to disapprove the plans for the structure until an entire plan. is submitted. The second item on the agenda was the sign application of the VAIL VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER for an "Emergency Entrance" sign. A variance was requested in the size requirements under Section 15, paragraph 16 of the sign ordinance, entitled "Traf~a.c Control Signs for Private Property", The size allowable in accordance with the ardinance is one square foot and it was felt that the sign should be larger in order to be effective. Unon mot~an ~ul~= mare and s~conde~, i+ waG unanimously voted to gr~.nt a variance and approve the sign anplication as nre~ented- 1 h The third item on the agenda was the consideration of a variance request for the LIFT HOUSE CONDO. ASSN. sign, under Section 14, (2)(c), of the sign ordinance, entitled "Wall. Signs; Individual Business within a Multi-Tenant Building", which states that no part of the sign shall extend above 25 feet from average grade. The reason for the request for a variance is that the sign would not be visible on. the first balcony, as was suggested by the Design Review Board in their approval on September 6, 1973. After dis-. cussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unani- mously voted to grant a variance and allow the sign to be hung on the second balcony as originally submitted. The fourth item parking" signs, attend the next the same. As there was no at 4:00 P.M. discussed was the use of the Town "no and it was suggested that the Police Chief Design Review meeting in order to discuss further business, the meeting adjourned ~~~ ~ Secretary t --2- MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING DESIGN REVIEW BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1973 A special meeting of the Design Review Board was convened at 2:00 P.M. in the Conference Room of the Town of Vail Municipal Building, to review the items previously on the agenda for Thursday, October 11, 1973, as there were insufficient mem- bers present on October 11 to constitute a quorum. The following members were present: William Hanlon Gordon R. Pierce Willis J. Wright, Jr. Also present was: James F. Lamont, Administrative Assistant The first item on the agenda was the review of the plans far the proposed COVERED STAIRWAY next to the Creekside Building. Ball Pierce of the Town of Vail staff made the presentation. After dis- cussion, it was suggested that consideration be given to electrically-heated stairs. It was noted that the Town would consider electrically--heated stairs, but, due to the casts involved, it would also like to further study and present drawings of the relationship of the other buildings in the area with a covered structure such as the one presented. After discussion, it was, upon motion duly made and seconded, unanimously voted to disapprove the plans as submitted for a covered stairway. The second item was the design review o~ the plans for the remodeling of .the storefront of the COVERED BRIDGE STORE. Mayor Dobson made the presentation, - and after discussion, it was, upon motion duly made and secondedy unanimously voted to approve the plans as presented. The third item was the design review of the plans for the remodeling of the existing Town. of Vail A-k'RAME. There was some discussion as to whether or not the large tree, as shown in the plans, should be removed, and it was suggested that if leaving the tree would ruin the floor plans, the tree should be removed. After discussion, it was, upon motion duly made and seconded, unanimously voted to approve the plans as submitted. ~Zaa,~w'~, Sri Secretary /nmm ~~ AGENDA DESIGN REVIEW BOARD OCTOBER 18, 1.973 1.

The following members were present: William J. Ruoff, Chairman William Hanlon Lou Parker The first item on the agenda was the consideration of a sign application for SUNRISE, LTD. to replace their existing sign. Keith Caroselli and Chris Kaiser were in attendance at the meeting. After review and discussion, it was, upon motion duly made and seconded, unanimously voted to approve the plans as submitted. The second item was the consideration of a sign application for a permanent, free-standing sign for VAIL INTERNATIONAL. It was noted that the application showed 40 square feet of landscaping, and in order to meet the requirements of the ordinance, 46 square feet should be provided. After review and discussion, it was, upon motion duly made and seconded, unanimously voted to approve the plans as submitted. The third item was the design review of the house plans of Bill Ruoff. It was noted that the plans had received zoning approval from Diana Toughill. After review and discussion, it was, upon motion duly made and seconded, with Bill Ruoff abstaining, unanimously voted to approve the plans as submitted. The fourth item was the design review of the Town of Vail COVERED STAIRWAY. The plans were being resubmitted by Bill Pierce and Jim Lamont, who had been asked by the Design Review Board to consider electrically-heated stairs .as opposed to the covered structure. It had been determined that, at this time, it was not economically feasible to electrically heat the stairs. Mr. Lamont suggested that for the future con- sideration would be given to make the stairway part of the plaza project, with a joint boiler to heat the water in the fountain and to also heat the stairway. In the meantime, it was agreed to construct wooden stairs over the concrete stairs to improve their condition for this winter. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to disapprove the covered structure as presented and to approve the plans for the wooden stairs. The fifth item was the design review of the plans for the Town of Vail GOLD PEAK BUS STOP. The plans were being resubmitted by Bill Pierce and Jim Lamont, who had been requested by the Board to get an opinion from the planners as to whether or not the bus stops should be uniform or relate individually to their surroundings. Mr. Lamont stated that he discussed the matter with the planners and it was determined that they felt the bus stops should be unique to the area in which they were placed. Before going into further discussion of the matter, Chairman Ruoff advised that twa members of the Board, Jen Wright and Gordon Pierce, were not present at the meeting and that both members had expressed a special interest in this particular project. In order to have both Jen and Gordon present, it was agreed to schedule a special meeting to discuss the bus stop on Monday, October 22, 1973, at 1.0:00 A.M. As there was no further business to come before the meeting, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 P.M. ~W ~~~~~° Secretary /nmm t • -2- -'` MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING DESIGN REVIEW BOARD OCTOBER 22 , 1.973 A special meeting of the Design Review Board vas convened at 10:00 A.M. in the Conference Room of the Town of Vail Municipal Building. The purpose of the meeting was to consider the plans for the Town of Vail Gold Peak Bus Stop. The following members were present: William J. Ruoff, Chairman Lou Parker Gordon Pierce Jen Wright Also present were: Bill Pierce Jim Lamont, Administrative Assistant Chairman Ruoff summarized the situation for the benefit of Gordon and Jen, who were not able to attend the regular meeting on October 1.8, at which time the bus stop plans had been resubmitted for review and decision. It was noted that the planners had been consulted and it was their opinion that each of the bus .stations should reflect its imme- diate surroundings, with a graphics system for identification. It was also pointed out that, at. the present time, the only possible locations for bus stops would be at LionsHead, Golden Peak, Tracts A and B area (northeast bowl), and a small station for the Kiandra. Gordon Pierce stated that constructing a separate building was the wrong approach to the problem. He felt that the bus station should be combined with the existing building and that all of the stations should be similar in style. He also suggested that the plans for this structure be put off for another year so as to permit further study of the parking lot at the north corner of the Golden Peak Building and extension of the roof line of the building at that location. In order to better visualize the situation, everyone present went to the proposed site. After discussion and review of the various alternatives, a motion was made and a vote taken: -- Chairman Ruoff, .Lou Parker and Jen Wright, voted for approval of the plans as submitted; Gordon. Pierce voted for disapproval of the plans as submitted; unanimously approved.

The following members were present: William J. Ruoff, Chairman William Hanlon Lou Parker Gordon Pierce Jen Wright Attorneys Jay Peterson and Doug McLaughlin presented remodeling plans for change of the residence apartments above the Gondola Ski Shop to THE PATIO RESTAURANT (plans dated September 20, 1973). It was felt by the Board that the space on the east side of the building presently used for parking of cars should not be utilized, except for housing of trash, and that trash be removed daily. Also, it was felt that there should be assurance that all colors, texture, trim, etc., should match the existing color scheme. It was also pointed out that the stream tract should remain in as natural a state as possible. After some further discussion and review, it was, upon motion duly made and seconded, unanimously voted to approve the plans, as submitted, subject to compliance with the following conditions prior to issuance of an occupancy permit: (1) that the details of trim, texture, color, etc. be carried out as an extension of the existing; (2) that the required housing for trash receptacles be located on the east side of the building, a distance from the street so as to permit no more than a single vehicle to enter; (3) that a landscaping plan be submitted; and (4) agreement to the computation of additional parking requirement, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Messrs. Peterson and McLaughlin agreed to the conditions set out above. The Carosellis presented an application for a sign for ALEIE PACKER'S WILD MOUNTAIN INN; as proposed, the sign needs a variance for location. The Board felt that the design of the sign was good; however, they requested that a new location be submitted and suggested that it should be placed closer to their entrance. The Carosellis stated they would resubmit a new location at the next meeting. The Carosellis presented an application for a sign for SRLON TWENTY-ONE in the Vail 21 Building. It was noted that the sign met the require- ments of the ordinance. Upon motion. duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the sign as submitted. The Carosellis and David Cole presented a sign application for a sign program for the MONTANEROS commercial space, and in particular, the sign for TIMBERLINE PROPERTIES. It was noted that all other signs for this program would be of the same style, and size as the Timberline sign. Also discussed was the size of the words "Real Estate" as proposed. It was felt that these words should be smaller in size than "Timberline Properties", and it was agreed by both David Cole and the Carosellis that this would be changed. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans, subject to a range in size of the lettering, as stated above. • The Carosellis presented an application fora sign for the VAIL 21 CUBE. The sign, as proposed, does not meet all the requirements of the ordinance; therefore, a variance was requested. The Board felt they could nat grant a variance at the present time and requested that further reasons for requesting a variance be submitted at the next meeting. The Garosellis agreed to submit that information at the next meeting. Mr. George Smeltzer presented residence plans for the house of dUSTINE TAYLOR-SMITH (plans dated October 23, 1973)..

The following members were present: William :J. Ruoff, Chairman William Hanlon Lou Parker Gordon R. Pierce Jen Wright The first item was the consideration of a sign application for a temporary site development sign for PHASE 3 of VILLAGE CENTER CONDO- . MINIUMS. It was noted that the application met all the requirements of the ordinance; therefore, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans as submitted, with the condition that all other temporary site development signs for the project shall be removed, and that the sign for Phase 3 shall be removed within ten {lO) days after an occupancy permit is issued; and shall be permitted for a period of one {1) year. The second item discussed was the sign application for the GOLDEN PEAK HOUSE DIRECTORY. The Vail Factory made the presentation, and as proposed in the application, the directory would be split up with three signs on each window and one sign far the LaPinata above the doorway. It was suggested by the Baard that consideration be given to having all of the signs placed in one window. However, it was felt by the Baard that this application be taken under consideration and a decision made at the next meeting. The third item discussed was the-sign application for the LIONSHEAD LODGING DIRECTORY. The Vail Factory made the presentation. A variance was requested, as the application does nat meet certain requirements of the ordinonce, as stated in the file. It was stated by Chairman Ruoff that the Town of Vail is actively engaged in a study of the problem of directories for the entire town. The need for this type of directory is recognized and study is -being directed toward a solu- tion for the entire situation. There is also a memo in the file from the Town Engineer re street right-of-way and easements at the proposed location. Therefore, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to deny the request for a variance. The fourth item discussed was the sign application far LIONSHEAD EASY WASH in the Vail 21 Building at LionsHead. The Vail Factory presented the. application, which met the requirements of the ordinance. Therefore, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans as presented. The fifth item discussed was the location of the sign for ALFIE PACKER'S WILD MOUNTRIN INN. The sign will be located at the entrance of the office for Alfie Packer's.

Ruoff, Chairman William Hanlon Lou Parker Gordon R. Pierce First, after discussing the present variance procedure, it was agreed by members of the Board that the sign ordinance should be amended to adopt a variance procedure such as in the zoning ordinance, with variance fee, legal publication and hearing. George Knox, Jr. presented his remodeling plans for the storefront of THE MUG SHOP. The Board reviewed the plans, and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans as submitted. The Vail Factory submitted an application for three signs for VAIL SKI RENTALS. Under the ordinance, there is a maximum of two signs allowable; therefore, a variance was requested as to the size and number. The existing signs are nonconforming; the Board felt they should not go from one non- conforming sign to another nonconforming, The Carosellis then requested that the Board consider just two signs, ~- a sign to replace the large existing sign on the north wall, and a small entry sign at the doorway facing the Gondola Building, as shown in the photos in the file. After reviewing the proposal, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans as changed. There was discussion of the directory for the GOLDEN PEAK HOUSE, which was continued from last week's meeting. Mr. Ruoff advised the Carosellis that the Board members looked at the building and it was their opinion that all signs should be placed on one side (the more visible), including Lapinata, in a vertical line. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans, subject to the signs being located all together in a vertical line on the window to the right of the doorway. The Vail Factory presented a sign application for THIS WICKED WEST, and requested a variance since the stare does not have an outside entrance, and, therefore, would fall under the arcade section of the ordinance. The Board considered their request for a variance and felt there should be some outside identification for the store. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans, as submitted, conditioned upon removal of the sign in the event other tenants in the building (Gondola II) wish to have outside signs, in which case an acceptable solution to the overall problem will be considered. t The sixth item discussed was the request far a variance for a sign on the VAIL 21 COBS, presented by the Carosellis. It was felt by - the Carosellis that the existence of the cube itself restricted the effectiveness of any other sign that might be placed on the building in lieu of the cube. The Board advised that they would consider the reasons for the variance request and will make a decision at the next meeting. The seventh item was the preliminary review of plans for the CROSSROADS addition. Merv Lapin and Bab Hunt presented the plans. No decision on the plans was requested. The eighth item was the consideration of further changes in the plans for remodeling of the COVERED BRIDGE STORE. The Board members felt they would like to look at the store before making a final decision; therefore, this latter was taken under consideration until the next meeting. The ninth item was the consideration of the residence plans of Justine Taylor-Smith (dated October 23, 1973). Diana Toughill advised the Board that the plans did not meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance, especially with regard to the setback, useable open space and environmental impact. Therefore, the Board voted to disapprove the plans as submitted. Mr. Jeff Robbie of Graphics Rustication, a sign company in Denver; appeared before the Board in order to receive some indication as to whether or not their signs would meet the general approval of the Board. The Board advised that the signs were in general harmony with the spirit of the ordinance. As there was no further business to come before the meeting, the meeting adjourned at 5:30 P.M. Nadine M.

Municipal Building. The following members were present: William J. Ruoff, Chairman William Hanlon Lou Parker Gordon Pierce Jen Wright The first item discussed was an application for a sign for the DAIRY DEPOT at the Vail Village Inn. Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien were present at the meeting. It was generally felt by the members of the Board that the sign, as proposed, was not compatible with the building; in par- ticular, there was too much contrast, not enough space between the letters, and that the letters should be routered instead of painted. It was suggested that more "earthy" colors be used. After discussion, and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to disapprove the sign; it was suggested that the O'Briens contact Mr. Josef Staufer and arrange with him for a sign program for a17 the com- mercial space in the V.V.I. building. The Board members then reviewed remodeling plans for BLOSSOMS BRIG-A- BRAG. The Zoning Administrator advised that there were no technical problems; the parking requirements had been resolved. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the plans as submitted. The Board then reviewed plans for THE FINISHING TOUGH, at the Vail Village Inn. The plans call for an alteration at the northeast corner of the U.V.I. The Board decided there were insufficient drawings to make a determination. VANTAGE POINT requested approval to move their "Vantage Point/Nail" sign to the side of the building which faces the LiansHead municipal parking lot. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously voted to approve the new location. As there was no further business to came before the meeting, the meeting adjourned at 4:30 P.M. Nadine M.

Lamont, Rdministrative Assistant Min er discussed with the Board members the possibility of amending Mr. g the sign ordinance to allow approval of signs to be done administratively, along with a change in the variance procedure. The Board members were in agreement that a change was necessary, due to the excessive amount of time spent reviewing signs, and especially, variance requests. Mr. Fred Hibberd presented plans for PHASE 3 of VILLAGE CENTER for preliminary review. Mr. Hibberd stated that he was presently nego- tiating with the Town far a passible tradeoff of parking spaces required for dedication to the Town of open space.
