Final review of a minor exterior alteration (landscaping)

ACTION: Denied
MOTION: DuBois SECOND: Gillette VOTE: 5-0-0
The Design Review Board (DRB) cited Chapter 12-22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code which contained
no provisions for the "maintenance" of view corridors with regard to vegetation. Furthermore, Section 14-
10-3C, Site Planning, Vail Town Code, states the following:
"C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be limited to removal of those
essential for development of the site, those identified as diseased or those essential for creating
defensible space. Mitigation may be required for tree removal."
The DRB has consistently used this regulation to prevent the removal of vegetation for the sole purpose
of obtaining a view to a landmark (commonly the Gore Range or the ski mountain). The DRB was
concerned about allowing the Town to perform an action which is consistently denied for private property
owners as this request occurs frequently.
The DRB understood the concern of the encroachment of the vegetation on the view corridor and had
several suggestions and concerns. There was a concern that the removal of the trees would expose a
roof material and a building which might have a negative effect if it became completely exposed. The
Board highlighted that the original design intent of Eldon Beck was to limit the view to short distances into
the Village and create an element of surprise. It was stated that the trees frame the Covered Bridge and
are solely a summer problem, and does this warrant removal.

The DRB suggested that the Town Council direct staff to prepare amendments to Chapter 12-22, View
Corridors, Vail Town Code, to include provisions for "maintenance" of a view corridor with regard to
vegetation which established a set of criteria by which an evaluation could be made. It was further
suggested that Section 14-10-3C, Site Planning, Vail Town Code, would be improved with the addition of
provisions and criteria for the evaluation of the removal of vegetation that may have been improperly cited
during original installation and after a number of years has impacted important views. A requirement for
replacement should accompany any provision allowing for this.
