public art.
The Developer shall address the following conditions of approval prior to submitting a
building permit application (a grading permit/excavation permit shall constitute a building
permit);

architectural specifications, and a complete color rendering for review and approval
Ordinance No. 20, Series 2009 3
of the Design Review Board, prior to submittal of an application for a building permit.
2. The Developer shall submit a rooftop mechanical equipment plan for review and
approval by the Design Review Board prior to the submittal of a building permit
application. All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be incorporated into the overall
design of the structure and enclosed and visually screened from public view.
3. The Developer shall receive all the required permits from the Colorado Department
of Transportation (CDOT) prior to submitting for a building permit. Failure to receive
the appropriate permits to access the South Frontage Road per the Approved
Development Plan will require the project to return through the special development
district review process.
4. The Developer shall comply with the written final comments of the Town of Vail
Public Works Department outlined in the memorandum from the Town of Vail Public
Works Department, dated January 16, 2006, prior to submitting an application to the
Town of Vail Community Department for the issuance of a building permit for this
project.
5. The Developer shall submit a written letter agreeing to install a public safety radio
communications system within the subterranean parking structure which meets the
specifications of the Town of Vail Communications Center. The specifications and
details of this system shall be submitted to staff for review and approval with the
application for a building permit.

1. The Developer shall submit a comprehensive sign program for review and approval
by the Design Review Board, prior to requesting a temporary certificate of

in p.m. traffic. The traffic and trip generation report prepared by Fox Higgins
Transportation Group dated June 2007, that specifically addresses the change in
number of condominium units from 75 to 77, states that the net peak increase is 81
trips, 13 more trips than in the original approved traffic study dated November 2005.
Since the usage of the commercial space is still in flux the Public Works
Department will require that a new study be performed prior to the issuance of a full
building permit to address the traffic generation created by the specific tenants that
will lease the commercial /retail space within the project. This change may cause the
trip generation to increase. The applicant shall be responsible for mitigating the
number of net peak trip increases depicted in the revised study. This impact fee
shall not be offset by any public improvements and shall be paid prior to requesting
a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy.

within three years from the time of its final approval at second reading of the
ordinance establishing Special Development District No. 39, and continue diligently
toward the completion of the project. If the developer does not begin and diligently
