Home My WebLink AboutRocky Cortina Strata 0720 July 20, 2009 Rocky Cortina Lionshead Inn LLC 705 West Lionshead Circle Vail, Colorado 81658 Dear Rocky, Thank you for taking the time to meet with Stan and I last week to discuss your future plans for the Strata project in Lionshead. As I understood from our conversation, you hope to be involved with pre-sales and marketing of the project over the next several winter ski seasons followed by an anticipated construction start date of June, 2011. The purpose of my letter is to follow up on your conversations regarding the extension and expiration dates of the various development approvals associated with the Strata project. As you are aware, the PEC and DRB approvals of the Strata project both expire on June 9, 2010. Pursuant to Section 12-7H-7(E), in part, “Administrative extensions can be granted for reasonable and unexpected delays as long as code provisions affecting the proposal have not changed.” Unfortunately, several important code provisions affecting this project have changed and I am unable to grant any extensions of the PEC and DRB approvals beyond the June 9, 2010 expiration date. That being the case, I strongly advise you to make the minor amendments needed to your building permit application to fully comply with the 2009 IBC provisions. With these amendments indicated on the plans and approved, the Town of Vail will be able to issue a building permit for this project by June 9, 2010 and extend the approval to June 9, 2011, as a condition of the issuance of the building permit. I believe this approach will fully meet the needs you expressed in our earlier meeting. Please contact Martin Haeberle, Chief Building Official, by telephone at (970) 479-2142 to arrange a meeting to discuss how the 2009 IBC code requirements can be incorporated into your existing plan sets. Should have any questions or concerns with regard to the information addressed in this letter, please do not hesitate to call me at (970) 376-2675. Sincerely, George Ruther, AICP Director of Community Development Town of Vail
