Main Agenda 2.1. A request for the review of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 20 min. 12-16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow Funiculars and other similar conveyances, a Conditional Use in the Two -Family Primary/Secondary (PS) District, located at 696 Forest Road/Lot 8, Block 1, Vail Village Filing 6, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC20- 0024) Applicant: LSC 27 LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence 1. The applicant shall obtain DRB approval prior to making an application for a building permit. Planner Spence provided a short recap of the history of the application that the PEC has seen so far and introduces the applicants. Dominic Mauriello of Mauriello Planning Group does a presentation of the application and goes over the general CUP criteria for approval and the criteria associated with the Funicular Conditional Use. Kurz expresses his concern that the recreational facility was approved prior to the CUP application and almost requires approval of this funicular for the recreation facility to be usable. The area is ripe for funiculars due to location and could open the door for many more applications in the future. Why was this not included in the original application? Michael Suman says that it was originally proposed but was not included in the original application for approval because the code changes that needed to be approved before it was feasible. The DRB did review all of these items at one time but could not approve the funicular because of the lack of CUP in hand. Mauriello adds that funiculars were allowed as an accessory use up until 2008 and there were still only four built in the history of the town. The expense and practicality are not doable for a lot of these lots. Kurz expressed his concern about setting a precedent for the future. Mauriello adds that the Town approved of these in the future if criteria are met with the passage of the recent code change by Town Council. Suman pointed out that they must have a structure to access in order to meet the CUP criteria and a lot of the lots in the area don't have the space to add a structure. Lockman questions the location of the rec center to the bike trail in the area. Suman says the rec center is 50 feet below the bike trail. No public comment. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Pete Seibert seconded the motion and it passed (6-1). Ayes: (6) Gillette, Kjesbo, Lockman, Perez, Pratt, Seibert Nays: (1) Kurz 2.2.

(PEC20-0024) Applicant: LSC 27 LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY The applicant, LSC 27 LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, has requested the review of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 12-16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow Funiculars and other similar conveyances, a Conditional Use in the Two -Family Primary/Secondary (PS) District, located at 696 Forest Road. The proposed funicular allows residents and guests of the home to access an approved recreational facility located on the southern portion of the lot. 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 a condition, of this application, subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting the review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the installation of a 6 -person funicular to access an accessory recreational facility at 696 Forest Road. The proposed funicular will be architecturally compatible with the home and recreational facility and will travel on two bronze rails. The funicular will be powered by an electric motor and has been sited to follow the existing staircase. The staircase and funicular were laid out to blend with the topography and vegetation on the site with tree removal minimized. Please see the applicant's narrative provided with this memorandum as Attachment A for additional details on the proposal. III. BACKGROUND Prior to 2003, the use of funiculars and other similar conveyances was an accessory use in residential zone districts. As an accessory use (customary and incidental to permitted uses) review was limited to the Design Review Board (DRB) with no specific criteria. In 2003 the use was reclassified as a Conditional Use with Use Specific Criteria, via Ordinance No. 33, Series of 2003. The Use Specific Criteria was modified by the Town Council, following a recommendation from the Planning and Environmental Commission, via Ordinance No, 16, 2020. The modification has permitted this application to proceed through the review process. IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Staff finds the following provisions of the Vail Town Code relevant to the review of this proposal: CHAPTER 16 — CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS (in part) 12-16-1: PURPOSE; LIMITATIONS: In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review and evaluation so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and the town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the town may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied. (Ord. 8(1973) § 18.100) 12-16-5: PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION ACTION: A.

REVIEW CRITERIA— CONDITIONAL USE 12-16-6: CRITERIA; FINDINGS Before acting on a Conditional Use Permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The proposed text amendment is compatible with the development objectives of the town and speaks to the origins of Vail and its Tyrolean roots. The following are relevant goals of the Town's Comprehensive Plan: Vail Land Use Plan: • Goal 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. • Goal 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 5 • Goal 1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. • Goal 2.1. The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. vagi 9n/9n • Sense of Place and Character: Vail values the strong history of the town and its unique character and legacy while acknowledging the importance of reinvention. This is reflected in the high quality of the built environment with design and features that endure over time. The proposed funicular is compatible with these goals and furthers the development objectives of the Town of Vail, as applicable. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. The proposed conditional use will have no effect on light and air, distribution of population, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, or other public facility needs. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. There will be no effect on traffic or automotive or pedestrian safety as this use is entirely within a private residential lot. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. 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 funicular with have a minimal effect on the character of the area. The funicular is designed to be largely screened from adjacent properties, taking advantage of extensive existing vegetation. The funicular itself will be designed to be compatible A architecturally with other improvements on the property and the noise generated is significantly below sound limitations. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. 5. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed use. 6. The environmental impact report concerning the proposed use, if an environmental impact report is required by Chapter 12 of this title. An environmental impact report is not required for the proposed development. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be not applicable. 12-16-7 Use Specific Criteria and Standards 11. Funiculars and other similar conveyances: a. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when designed for the purpose of providing pedestrian access to a residential dwelling, an accessory structure, or recreation facility/structure, as determined by the planning and environmental commission. The proposed funicular is specifically designed for providing pedestrian access to a recreational structure, that is currently under construction. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. b. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when significant site constraints prevent conventional means of vehicular access to the residential dwelling, an accessory structure, or recreation facility/structure, as determined by the planning and environmental commission. "Significant site constraints" shall be defined as natural features such as mature trees, natural drainages, stream courses, and other natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, excessive slopes, other natural features, and existing structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and development of the lot. The new recreational facility is inaccessible by vehicles due to significant excessive slopes and the prevalence of mature trees on the property. Vehicular access would result in substantial and unwanted site disturbance. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. 7 c. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when designed to be compatible with both the site upon which they are located and the residential dwelling to which they provide access, as determined by the planning and environmental commission. The proposed funicular is designed to be compatible with the site and the surrounding area. The proposed 6 -person funicular will match the architecture of the home and will blend into the environment. The track follows the topography of the site, remaining within 4' to 7' from the ground. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. d. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when designed to be appropriately screened. The proposed funicular is designed to be screened from adjacent properties, including the ski area located to the south. Significant existing vegetation assists in screening the funicular cabin and related tracks. Further review of the proposed funicular by the DRB is required, as conditioned, that may result in additional screening requirements. The Community Development Department finds this criterion to be met. VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based upon the 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 approve a Conditional Use Permit, with a condition, pursuant to Section 12-16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow Funiculars and other similar conveyances, a Conditional Use in the Two - Family Primary/Secondary (PS) District, located at 696 Forest Road/Lot 8, Block 1, Vail Village Filing 6, and setting forth details in regard thereto.

Applicant's Narrative dated August 17, 2020 9 696 FOREST ROAD Conditional Use Permit to Allow for a Funicular Location: 696 Forest Road / 2101-072-11-038 LOT 8, BLOCK 1, VAIL VILLAGE FILING 6 SOMAN Date Submitted: August 17, 2020 Revised November 11, 2020 V Mauriello Planning Group INTRODUCTION The owners of 696 Forest Road / Lot 8, Block 1, Vail Village Filing 6, LSC 27 LLC, are requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a funicular. The property is zoned Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential, and "funiculars" are allowed as a conditional use by Section 12-6D-3: Conditional Uses. There are additional criteria provided in Section 12-16-7: Use Specific Criteria and Standards. The applicants have been approved to construct a recreation facility, which includes ski lockers and indoor recreational uses in a structure with a 745 sq. ft. footprint and exterior swimming pool. The recreation facility was originally approved on March 4, 2020, and construction began in July of 2020. The facility is proposed to be accessed via a funicular and a set of stairs. The Town Code defines a funicular (and similar conveyances) as: ■�c�r Evac.-ata.-ra�rs r�r�• -oma. - Current construction at 696 Forest Rd. Exterior, tramlike vehicles, designed to move up and down steep slopes by use of rails or tracks. The Town Code distinguishes funiculars from ski lifts and tows as two separate uses within the Code. A ski lift and tow are not subject to use specific criteria that are applicable to a funicular. The proposed funicular is a 6 -seater cab that is customized to match the architecture and materials of the home. The intent is that the cab will match the architecture of the home and will generally blend into the environment. The track is also proposed to be bronze, and varies in height between 4 ft. to 7 ft. off the ground to allow for snow clearance. The total length of track is 260 ft., and it will climb 105 ft. of elevation. The cab is driven by an electric variable speed motor at the top, which uses a cable and drum system, so noise is minimal, and well below the Town's noise standards.

While many funicular systems are public methods of transportation, in mountain and resort communities, funicular systems have been privately developed as a method to overcome issues of connectivity where terrain prohibits the ability for pedestrians or vehicles to achieve access. For example, there are a couple of private funiculars in Telluride. Private funiculars are also popular in some lakeside resort communities to provide access down to the waterfront. In the Town of Vail prior to 2003, funiculars were approved as an accessory use to residential dwelling units. This means that there was no review required beyond Design Review. There have been a few funiculars constructed in the Town of Vail. There are two private funiculars currently in the Town of Vail. Both of these were constructed prior to 2003, and no new Six -person funicular at Element 52 in Telluride, CO . �tl Small funicular providing access from a private residence down to the waterfront. funiculars have been constructed since. There was previously a funicular in East Vail at 4842 Meadow Lane, however, this one was demolished as part of a demo/rebuild in 2015 so there is little available information on it. In addition, there is a private gondola that was constructed in the late 1980s, but a gondola is Page 4 of 15 considered a ski lift and listed separately from funiculars. The existing funiculars and the private gondola are described in additional detail below: 2701 Davos Trail: The Town's files on this property are corrupted and inaccessible so little is known about the background on this property. The residence at 2701 Davos Trail was constructed in 1981 and sits high on the lot, with significant vertical separation from Davos Trail. In 1985, a separated garage was constructed at the street level, and in 1998 a funicular was constructed connecting the garage to the residence. Based on the information available, the funicular was treated as an accessory use to the residence and the Town's data management system does not indicate that a conditional use permit was issued on this property. _440 .; L F ti 140 4111111L 104b Funicular located at 2701 Davos Trail. Page 5 of 15 97 Rockledge Road: The property at 97 Rockledge Road was redeveloped in the early 2000s. The funicular provides pedestrian access from Forest Road up to the residence on Rockledge Road. The funicular was part of a major redevelopment of two homes, 86 Forest Road and 97 Rockledge Road. The funicular was reviewed as an accessory use to the residence. Following a neighbor controversy when this funicular was constructed, the Vail Town Council directed staff to amend the Zoning Code to require the issuance of a conditional use permit for funiculars. On November 17, 2020, the Vail Town Council approved a text amendment to Section 12-16-7 (A) 11, amending the Use Specific Criteria for Funiculars. The newly adopted language has been included as part of this submittal. Funicular located at 97 Rockledge Road. Page 6 of 15 CRITERIA FOR REVIEW: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Section 12-16-6: CRITERIA AND FINDINGS, of the Vail Town Code provides the criteria for review for a conditional use approval. These criteria, along with an analysis, are provided below: 1. The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the town. Applicant Response: When the Vail Land Use Plan was adopted in 1986, and again when it was updated in 2009, there has been an emphasis on creating a destination resort community ambiance similar to what one would find in Europe. The Vail 20/20 plan recognizes the Tyrolean character of the town, while at the same time acknowledges the "importance of reinvention." The use of a funicular similar to those used in similarly steep environments in Europe to help residents access their homes and portions of their property is a unique and appropriate way of giving the residents of this property access to the ski slopes. In reviewing the Vail Land Use Plan and the Vail 20/20 plan, this is an advancement that pays homage to the Tyrolean style destination ski resort that Vail has become. ............................ Vail Land Use Plan 1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. : Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 4.3. The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural settings, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality). - 2. Land Use Pattern. The pattern of existing land uses in Vail has been shaped by the natural characteristics of the Valley in concert with the man-made features that have been constructed over the years. The predominant features of the Valley which have played a major role in Vail's design include the proximity of steep slopes, the location of Gore Creek and its floodplain, the location of the ski mountain and attendant ski facilities and the presence of a major transportation corridor - Interstate 70 and its interchanges. 3. Development proposals on the hillsides may be appropriate, in a limited number of cases, for low density residential uses. These proposals would need to be evaluated on a case -by - Page 7 of 15 ................................................................................................................................... case basis, with development being carefully controlled as to sensitivity to the environment and visibility from the Valley floor. Vail 20/20 Sense of Place and Character: Vail values the strong history of the town and its unique character and legacy while acknowledging the importance of reinvention. This is reflected in the high quality of the built environment with design and features that endure over time. 20/20 Vision: The pedestrian ambiance and scale of Vail Village and LionsHead continues into 2020, where the European alpine charm of Vail is replicated in its new development. The unique character of Vail is evident from the Tyrolean building style that speaks of Vail's history, to the mountain contemporary style that heralds technological advancement. The proposed funicular has little impact on the development objectives of the Town but acts to reflect the development objectives by allowing less impactful way of gaining access to accessory structures or recreation structures/facilities versus that of a driveway or paved trail. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. Applicant Response: The proposed funicular is for private use only for a home in a two-family residential district and will be used to transport residents of the home to their recreation facility. Therefore, it will have no impact on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. Page 8 of 15 3. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking areas. Applicant Response: The proposed funicular is for private use only for a home in a two-family residential district. Therefore, it will have no impact on traffic. 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. Applicant Response: There are two other homes in the vicinity that utilize solutions to move people on the sleep terrain. One home also has a private funicular, while the other home has a private gondola. The funicular offers the opportunity to move people from one place on the steep property to another in a minimally intrusive yet safe way. Gondola located at 330 Rockledge Road. Funicular located at 97 Rockledge Road. The exterior of the funicular will blend with the natural environment and has been designed to be compatible with the site and the surrounding area. The proposed funicular is a 6 -person cab that is customized to match the architecture and materials of the home. The total length of track is 260 ft., and it will climb 105 ft. of elevation. The site is heavily treed, and the applicant has made every effort to preserve the natural vegetation on the site, working closely with staff and the Design Review Board. The track is proposed to be bronze, and varies in height between 4 ft. to 7 ft. off the ground to allow for snow clearance. The cab is driven by an Page 9 of 15 electric variable speed motor at the top, which uses a cable and drum system, so noise is minimal. The drum system is located within an enclosure, as shown in the photo. The system meets the setback requirement of 15 ft., and as indicated on the specifications, without any mitigating factors, the decibel level is 41 db at 15 ft., well within noise limitations of the Town of Vail. The specification for the noise levels is provided below: HILL HIKER" Cable and drum motor system which powers the funicular. HILL HIKER* INCLINED ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT NOISE SPECIFICATION Hill Hiker@ Inclined Elevator systems are designed to operate at an ambient noise level that is unobtrusive to the surrounding environment. That being said the noise level of the system varies based on many factors such as the size and type of drive system and the distance from the system. Distance From Drive System Noise Leel 2 in 80 db 2 f 59 db 5 ft 51 db loft 45 db 15 ft 41 db 20 ft 39 db 25 ft 365 db NOTE - Testing was completed using an Extech Instruments Sound Level Meter model 407730 on a variety of different Hill Hiker drive system configurations including differing foundation types and motor sizes. Testing occurred throughout the entire travel length of each elevator with sound levels ranging from 47 to 80 decibels at a 2 inch testing distance from drive system. NOTE - Max decibel readings witnessed occurred during the short startup period when the elevator begins to move. NOTE - Formula used to calculate noise level change related to distance: Decibels of Change=20xIog(distance I/distance 2). Reference- http,//www.mcsquared.ccm/dbframe.htm Factors not measured that could further lessen the decibel level include but are not limited to. • Landscape plantings, vegetation or other environmental factors • Motor Drive cover/housing • Insulation of motor coverlhousing • Power -pack mounted in a wall/floor motor area The proposed funicular is designed to be screened from view both from above on the ski slope as well as from below the residential dwelling. There is significant existing vegetation which screens the funicular track and the DRB and staff will review the landscape plan to ensure proper screening of the track. The applicant proposes to make the track disappear from view of any neighbors. Because the funicular is located behind the existing home, and due to dense vegetation, it cannot be viewed from the public street. The cab will be parked at the bottom or top of the track, directly adjacent to structure and generally disappear from view. Page 10 of 15 5. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed use. Applicant Response: Any additional questions by the Planning and Environmental Commission can be addressed as necessary. 6. The environmental impact report concerning the proposed use, if an environmental impact report is required by chapter 12 of this title. Applicant Response: No Environmental Impact Report is required for this application. Page 11 of 15 CRITERIA FOR REVIEW: USE SPECIFIC CRITERIA AND STANDARDS Section 12-16-7(11): USE SPECIFIC CRITERIA AND STANDARDS, Funiculars and other similar conveyances, of the Vail Town Code provides the criteria for review for a conditional use approval. These criteria, along with an analysis, are provided below: a. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when designed for the purpose of providing pedestrian access to a residential dwelling, an accessory structure, or recreation facility/structure, as determined by the planning and environmental commission. Applicant Response: The funicular requested here is to provide access between the recreational facility (a portion of a residential dwelling) near the ski slope and the residential dwelling at the bottom, and therefore complies with this criterion. The applicant explored other options to access the facility, including vehicular access (use by right), paved trail for use by an all terrain vehicle (use by right) or the use of a ski lift or tow (conditional use permit). It was determined that a funicular would minimize site disturbance as it can follow the Drone shot of the construction occurring for the recreation facility of 696 Forest Road. The applicant has worked closely with Town staff and DRB to project the existing vegetation. natural slope and allows for a route that reduces the need for removal of trees. Low noise and limited visibility were also important considerations. A private gondola, similar to the existing gondola at 330 Rockledge Road, remains an option for the property depending on the outcome of this application. This would still require a conditional use permit, but the review of a gondola is not subject to these additional review criteria that a funicular is subject to. Page 12 of 15 b. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when significant site constraints prevent conventional means of vehicular access to the residential dwelling, an accessory structure, or recreation facility/structure, as determined by the planning and environmental commission. "Significant site constraints" shall be defined as natural features such as mature trees, natural drainages, stream courses, and other natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, excessive slopes, other natural features, and existing structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and development of the lot. Applicant Response: The property at 696 Forest Road is heavily forested with large aspen trees, with slopes in excess of 40% in some locations. The elevation gain from the bottom of the lot to the top is more than 300 feet and the proposed funicular climbs 105 feet in elevation. These constitute significant site constraints that prevent accessing the recreation facility by conventional means, and thus the proposed funicular complies with this criterion. A vehicular access would need to traverse the site to allow for appropriate grade, which would then require the elimination of a large number of trees and the need for extensive grading. The proposed funicular is a more sensitive solution that reduces permanent scarring of the landscape. In this instance, the funicular is being requested for the purpose of safely providing a means of moving residents between the recreational facility near the ski slopes and the existing home. It will be surrounded by trees and will have minimal visual impact to surrounding properties. c. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when designed to be compatible with both the site upon which they are located and the residential dwelling to which they provide access, as determined by the planning and environmental commission. Applicant Response: The proposed funicular is designed to be compatible with the site and the surrounding area as well as to be compatible with the home. The proposed funicular is a 6 - person cab that is custom bronze metal and wood siding. The intent is that that cab will match the architecture of the home and will generally blend into the Example of the funicular track proposed and how it can blend with the site. Page 13 of 15 environment. The track is also proposed to be bronze, and varies in height between 4 ft. to 7 ft. off the ground to allow for snow clearance. The total length of track is 240 ft., and it will climb 105 ft. of elevation. The cab is driven by an electric variable speed motor at the top, which uses a cable and drum system, so noise is minimal. d. Funiculars and other similar conveyances shall only be allowed when designed to be appropriately screened from view, as determined by the planning and environmental commission. Applicant Response: The proposed funicular is designed to be screened from view both from above on the ski slope as well as from below the residential dwelling. There is significant existing vegetation which screens the funicular track. Additional landscaping may also be required by the DRB. As a result, the funicular will be screened from view and complies with this criterion. L—j Existing vegetation and steep slopes at 696 Forest Road.

Attendance Present: Ludwig Kurz, Karen Perez, Rollie Kjesbo, Brian Gillette, Henry Pratt, Pete Seibert, John -Ryan Lockman Absent: None Main Agenda 2.1. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council to establish a new 60 min. Special Development District, (Alura Vail), pursuant to Section 12-9-A Special Development (SDD) District, Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of 24 multifamily residential units in eight (8) buildings with associated site improvements, located at 1472 Matterhorn Circle/Vail Park Meadows Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC20- 0028) Applicant: Alura Vail LLC, represented by The Brown Studio Planner: Jonathan Spence Commissioner Pratt: Recused himself due to working on a project neighboring this property. Planner Spence: Introduced this project as a preliminary review for the former Park Meadows site. Today's item will mostly be for the applicant to introduce this project and idea. Staff, including Fire and Public Works, has conducted a preliminary review and shared comments with the applicant. Spence then began to describe the scope of the project. There are three deviations from the Town Code to be requested. These deviations are for setbacks, parking count, and parking location. Lina Shahhal with the Brown Studio: Introduced the other members of the project at the meeting. She then began to describe the project scope. There will be 8 buildings. Total required parking spaces are 40, but they are asking for 36 for better landscaping and storage on site. Commissioner Gillette: Asked where the setback variations are being requested. Spence: Specified that relief is being requested on the north, east, and west side of the property. He also mentioned that this project had gone in front of the DRB for a conceptual review in the previous week. Commissioner Perez: Asked about the landscaping proposed. The applicant and planner Spence showed and discussed the landscaping using a presented map. Franklin Boyer(applicant): went on to discuss the setback deviation request as well. Surrounding neighbors have a large space between their development and the applicant's lot lines. Spence: Brought up a concern that Fire had about potential illegal parking blocking the fire lane. Gillette: Asked a question about possible neighbor concerns. Franklin: Have not heard anything from any of their neighbors and didn't expect to hear concern from them due to the distance from this development to neighboring development. Chairman Kurz: Asked how easy it would be to find the property lines should PEC members want to visit the property in person. Spence: Recommended that the PEC bring a map shown on screen as there is not clear marking on site. Commissioner Lockman: Asked about the parking count deviation. Asked if the applicant will be managing the parking. Also asked about snow storage Franklin: Yes. Parking will be managed. Also pointed out the proposed snow storage area on a map. Lena: Further explained that the parking provided will be for one space per unit and some additional guest parking spaces. Also stated that this location has close proximity to the bus system and bike path. The applicants continued to explain the proposed design of the site using shared materials and drawings. Kurz: Asked if any additional red flags came to light as a result of staff review. Spence: Again mentioned the fire lane concerns. Gillette: Asked if there were similar projects that this could be compared to. Spence: Responded by saying generally, no. Each SDD is different in their needs and deviations. Seibert: Asked about the employee housing units. Franklin: The project overall is aimed at employees in Vail, but in order to make sure it work financially, not all units could be EHUs. Seibert: Stated concern that seasonal rentals are more likely to create parking issues. Perez: Asked if they would prohibit short term rentals Franklin: Said no, but said it was possible that they would limit how many times individual units could be rented for this purpose. Commissioner Kjesbo: Had a number of concerns. Concerned about the reduction in parking for the long term. Concerned that the intended use may change after some number of years. Most buildings around this property has covered parking. Likely would not be in favor of an SDD currently. Kurz: Asked a question about storage for outdoor gear. Franklin: Indicated that there is storage for each unit. There is additional storage space inside the units themselves as well. Public Comment Greg Baldwin: Owns a second home near the southeast side of the lot. Concerned about looking down on the development and is interested in seeing more tree screening. Would like to see a mountain feel maintained and doesn't want the area to feel like a suburban subdivision. Connie Kincaid-Strahan: Owns Vail Property Brokerage and represents an owner to the south of this development. Wants to know the height of the retaining wall on the property. Robbie (applicant): The top of the wall shouldn't protrude much higher than the grading itself. The wall will mostly be on the southeast end of the property, this wall shouldn't protrude more than a few inches above the grade on the south end. Connie: Had a question about access to the rec path. Robbie: This path is the city's land and the applicant has no intention of messing with it. No path is proposed specifically to access this rec path. Between the rec path and the project, trees are proposed for screening. Connie: Asked about the total project height. Lena: Project is currently at 29ft. The maximum allowed is 45 ft. Robbie: Didn't want the project to have the feel of a condominium complex by maximizing height. Connie: Asked about when the applicant anticipates approval and the construction timeline. Franklin: Would like to be under construction by April if possible. Mitch Karlin: Asked about an elevation drawing for the southeast corner. Robbie: Currently does not have an elevation for the retaining wall on that side. Russ Craney: A representative for Coldstream. Had a question about the previous Park Meadows height. Franklin: That was around 26 ft. but would need to double check. This project should be similar in scope. Stated that he would stay in contact with Russ/Coldstream. Rollie Kjesbo moved to table to November 23, 2020. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (6-0). Abstain: (1) Pratt 2.2. A request for review of an Exemption Plat, pursuant to Section 13-12, 10 min. Exemption Plat Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to establish utility and driveway easements at Red Sandstone Elementary School, located at 545, 551, & 559 North Frontage Road/Block 2, a portion of Lot 8, Vail Potato Patch Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC20-0029) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Erik Gates Planner Gates introduced the project and the purpose of the application. Erik provided a brief history of the site and referenced ERWSD as having reviewed the plat. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.3. A request for review of an exemption plat, pursuant to Title 13 Chapter 12, 30 min. Exemption Plat, Vail Town Code, to allow for increases to the allowable Site Coverage and Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) allotment for individual lots within the Spraddle Creek Estates subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC20-0015) Applicant: Spraddle Creek Estates Homeowners, represented by Zehren and Associates Planner: Jonathan Spence Spence: This is largely the same proposal as the one seen by the PEC two weeks ago. Spence then went on to describe the history of this proposal at the PEC. Additional photos were included as part of this review session. Zehren: As mentioned in other meetings, they would like to increase site coverage to avoid maxing out building height all over. Seibert: The idea of expanding building envelopes to keep building height down makes sense. Zehren: To clarify, they are not proposing to increase building envelops, just to be able to use more coverage within them. Spence: Doesn't feel that the relatively modest request will have a significant impact on the visibility of these homes. Gillette: We have not done a comparison to Forest Road site coverage here have we? Spence: Due to the shape of developments on Forest Road, this would not be applicable or useful. Gillette: Concerned that because of the way the code is written that additional GRFA at Spraddle would all be above ground and create a larger apparent bulk and mass. Whereas, at Forest Road additional floor area often has to be placed underground. Spence: Generally doesn't see this as an issue as Forest Road homes are allowed a similar proportion of bulk and mass. Kurz: Any additional changes still go to DRB? Zehren: That is correct. Gillette: Still concerned about additions making use of additional site coverage and creating very long building frontages. Zehren: Willing to look into making increases in site coverage proportionally smaller. Gillette: Asked for either a mock-up of the worst-case scenario of build out or an analysis of Forest Road site coverage and GRFA in comparison to this request. Pratt: It appears that Spraddle is proposing a smaller proportion of site coverage to GRFA than Forest Road. Spence: That is correct but feels that comparing Forest Road to Spraddle Creek in this way is not comparing apples to apples. Gillette: The way Spraddle was platted originally was to avoid huge, highly visible houses. Concerned that this proposal may lose that intent. Zehren: Showed some example lots and building envelopes to show that many lots are limited in how much longer they can grow. Most lots have homes that reach from end to end of their building envelopes currently. Gillette: Felt much better about the proposal after seeing these examples. Lockman: Generally ok with it based off of staff's analysis. Pratt: Feels that modeling out potential buildouts isn't helpful as different architects will have different designs and solutions to lot restrictions. Feels that seeing existing buildings and their envelopes is more helpful here. No public comment. Perez: Stated that her comments from the last meeting had not been addressed in this application. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (6-1). Ayes: (6) Gillette, Kjesbo, Kurz, Lockman, Pratt, Seibert Nays: (1) Perez 3. Approval of Minutes 3.1.
