I know how business owners always think bigger is better; but in my experience the town guidelines are perfect for the customer to travel throughout the community in a way that is an experireince, not just a means to consumption. As a resident of a planned community I have worked with my neighbors on a variety of topics including fire mitigation, trash and landscaping. As the HOA president I had to review and negotiate design when new construction began in my PUD.

There was one undeveloped homesite in the PUD, Innsbruck Meadows. When this site was sold recently, 20 years after any other home was built, the new owner of the land wanted to build without any constraints. After further investigation there were no guidelines he had to follow, because the original buildings were all built by the same developer. I was able to negotiate with him reduced number of materials to best suit the neighborhood. He obliged and the architect made the changes. The DRB meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Meetings begin at 2:00 pm. DRB members shall be appointed to a 2 year term. Attendance at meetings is critical as it provides a broad representation on matters before the DRB and promotes a fair and equitable development review process. 5000 Characters Max I own my own business and am in charge of my own schedule. My business is typically busy in the morning and evening. I have no mandatory duties with my daughter so afternoons are best for me. The DRB is often asked to act in a quasi-judicial (like a judge) on design applications. Decision making is guided by review criteria and findings of fact. The review criteria are prescribed by the Vail Town Code. 5000 Characters Max I have a lot of friends and business associates; however I have found that a difference of option is not an end to the personal or business relationships. I have a strong communications skills so I know the rules are there for a reason, and helping the community understand that is part of my skill set.
