Sincerely, 9, ", w,-Pz, Brent Wilson Planner II �� RECYCLEDPAPER MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: February 1, 2000 SUBJECT: First reading of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2000, an ordinance amending the Official Zoning Map for the Town of Vail in accordance with Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Chapter 5, Zoning Map; rezoning Part of Tract B, Vail Village Seventh Filing (Ski Club Vail) from Agriculture and Open Space (A) District to Ski Base Recreation (SBR) District. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST This rezoning request is in conjunction with the redevelopment plan and conditional use permit applications that were approved by the Town's Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) on December 13, 1999. The proposal involves the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a new 24,000 square foot facility. The rezoning is necessary for redevelopment given the existing site non - conformities under the current "Agriculture & Open Space" designation. On December 14'h, the Town Council reviewed the approved development plan and rezoning request for Ski Club Vail's new facility. At that time, Council (and the PEC) advised staff to pursue an agreement with Ski Club Vail regarding contributions for streetscape improvements. The Town's Streetscape Masterplan and Vail Village Masterplan contain language requiring the completion of adjacent streetscape improvements by private properties when they redevelop or expand. Ski Club Vail's construction estimator evaluated the cost of the Town's proposed streetscape improvements along Vail Valley Drive and staff has reviewed the numbers for accuracy. Ski Club Vail proposes to contribute $14,450 in the form of landscaping, grading and irrigation along Vail Valley Drive. This amount is equal to 39% of the total cost for streetscaping along the Ski Club Vail parcel (or 11.2% of the total cost for streetscaping between the Golden Peak bus stop and the Pinos del Norte property). A complete review of the rezoning request and estimates for streetscape improvements have been included in the staff memorandum. 1� TOWN OF PAIL II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION At its December 13, 1999 meeting, the Town's Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval of the applicant's request for a rezoning from "Agriculture and Open Space" (A) District to "Ski Base Recreation" (SBR) District to the Vail Town Council. Staff recommends that the Town Council approve Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2000 on second reading, subject to the following finding: That the proposed zone district is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses, consistent with the Town's Land Use Plan and Zoning Regulations, and appropriate for the area. III. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION - REZONING REQUEST The request for rezoning is necessary due to the existing non - conformities under the current "Agriculture & Open Space" designation. Ski Club Vail does not have the ability to expand under the current zoning. Additionally, due to the encroachment onto Vail Associates' property, it is necessary to apply a consistent zoning among the parcels. Vail Associates' Golden Peak property (Tracts F & B) is zoned "Ski Base Recreation." The PEC /Town Council shall make the following findings before granting approval of a zone change request: 1) Is the existing zoning suitable with the existing land use on the site and adjacent land uses? Ski Club Vail's property is currently zoned "Agriculture and Open Space" ( "A "). Staff believes the existing zoning is inconsistent with the established use of the property. Intended uses within the current "Agriculture and Open Space" zoning designation include agriculture, public parks, recreation areas, and open space. Staff believes Ski Club Vail's operation is more consistent with the intended uses outlined for the "Ski Base Recreation" district. These include ski racing facilities, ski school facilities, and private /quasi- public /public clubs. Adjacent land uses include the Golden Peak Ski Base (Ski Base Recreation), Manor Vail (High Density Multiple Family), Pinos del Norte /Northwoods (Special Development District #2 /HDMF), and Ford Park (General Use). Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent and suitable with adjacent properties. K A 2) Is the amendment presenting a convenient workable relationship with land uses consistent with municipal objectives? Staff believes this proposal furthers municipal land use objectives through the redevelopment of a facility that no longer serves the needs of Ski Club Vail. Many of the traffic congestion problems identified in this area of the East Village are attributable to the current facility (among other properties). Staff believes this proposal presents a feasible, workable solution to the re- occurring traffic problems identified in this area and promotes a much - improved relationship with adjacent properties. 3) Does the rezoning provide for the growth of an orderly viable community? Staff believes this rezoning is necessary to facilitate redevelopment of the property in an orderly, viable fashion. Under the current zoning designation, Ski Club Vail is "non- conforming" and does not have the ability to expand. Given the fact that the facility now serves about 4 times the number of users it served in 1977, staff believes redevelopment /rezoning is the only feasible option at this time. The redevelopment proposal is consistent with applicable development limitations imposed under the proposed zone district. 4) Is the change consistent with the Land Use Plan? The Vail Land Use Plan proposes a future land use designation on this property of "Ski Base." This land use category includes "ski trails, facilities related to a ski base and ski - related improvements." Staff believes the proposed zone district is consistent with this designation while the existing zoning is not. Staff believes the proposed Ski Club Vail rezoning /redevelopment plan would further the following goals /objectives identified in the Vail Land Use Plan: 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. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. Staff does not believe this proposal conflicts with any of the goals, policies or objectives outlined in the Vail Land Use Plan. A complete list of the plan's goals, policies and objectives is included as Appendix "A" for reference. 3 APPENDIX "A" VAIL LAND USE PLAN - GOALS /POLICIES General Growth /Development 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. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.4 The original theme of the old Village Core should be carried into new development in the Village Core through continued implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan. 1.5 Commercial strip development of the Valley should be avoided. 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. 1.7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. 1.8 Recreational and public facility development on National Forest lands may be permitted where no high hazards exist if: a) Community objectives are met as articulated in the Comprehensive Plan. b) The parcel is adjacent to the Town boundaries, with good access. C) The affected neighborhood can be involved in the decision - making process. 1.9 National Forest land which is exchanged, sold or otherwise falls into private ownership should remain as open space and not be zoned for private development. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.11 Town owned lands shall not be sold to a private entity, long term leased to a private entity or converted to a private use without a public hearing process. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). APPENDIX "A" 1.13 Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 2. Skier /Tourist Concerns 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day skiers. 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 2.3 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together to improve facilities for day skiers. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational and cultural opportunities to encourage summer tourism. 2.5 The community should improve non -skier recreational options to improve year - round tourism. 2.6 An additional golf course is needed. The Town should work with the down valley communities to develop a public golf course as well as other sports facilities to serve the regional demand for recreational facilities. 2.7 The Town of Vail should improve the existing park and open space lands while continuing to purchase open space. 2.8 Day skiers need for parking and access should be accommodated through creative solutions such as: a) Increased busing from out of town. b) Expanded points of access to the mountain by adding additional base portals. C) Continuing to provide temporary surface parking. d) Addition of structured parking. 3. Commercial 3.1 The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently. 3.2 The Village and Lionshead areas are the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of the destination skiers. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. yaw .. APPENDIX "A" 3.5 Entertainment oriented business and cultural activities should be encouraged in the core areas to create diversity. More nighttime businesses, on -going events and sanctioned "street happenings" should be encouraged. 4. Village Core / Lionshead 4.1 Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery. 4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved thorough implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan. 4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) 4.4 The connection between the Village Core and Lionshead should be enhanced through: a) Installation of a new type of people mover. b) Improving the pedestrian system with a creatively designed connection, oriented toward a nature walk, alpine garden, and /or sculpture plaza. C) New development should be controlled to limit commercial uses. Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.2 Quality time -share units should be accommodated to help keep occupancy rates up. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. APPENDIX "A" 6.0 Community Services 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods.

Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST This proposal includes the demolition and reconstruction of the Ski Club Vail facility with an encroachment onto Vail Associates property. In conjunction with the expansion, the property would be rezoned (to Ski Base Recreation) in accordance with the approved development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base. The PEC is being asked to approve /deny the Conditional Use Permit request and Development Plan Approval request for this proposal. Additionally, the PEC will be asked to forward a recommendation on the rezoning request to the Vail Town Council. A detailed analysis of this proposal is given in Sections V -VII of this memorandum. II. BACKGROUND On November 8th and 22 "d, the PEC reviewed Ski Club Vail's conceptual redevelopment plan and identified a number of issues throughout this process. Ski Club Vail has submitted a revised plan based on the comments /concerns at these meetings and is requesting a final approval from the PEC. Reduced copies of these plans are attached to this memo for reference. Following is a brief history of the development of Ski Club Vail: On August 26, 1976, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of Ski Club Vail. At that time, the PEC did not require any parking and stated "...we feel additional parking in this location is not appropriate." However, Ski Club served approximately 75 users in 1976; today the facility serves over 300. :k TOWN OF PAIL On March 24, 1986, the PEC granted a variance for the use of the front setback area/right- of -way as a loading and unloading zone for a one -year period. The approval was conditioned on Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop -off" zone. At that time, Ski Club Vail leased additional parking spaces from the Ramshorn Condominium Association. This lease agreement is no longer in effect. After the one -year PEC approval expired, additional approvals were not requested. In January of 1998, the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and Ski Club Vail drafted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding parking management for the Golden Peak Ski Base area facilities. Under this MOU, the Town Manager agreed to discuss Ski Club Vail's parking situation with the Town Council. At their October 13, 1998 meeting, the Vail Town Council directed Ski Club Vail personnel to bring an application to correct the parking and loading problems on site before the PEC for approval. After the PEC granted last year's variance request, the Vail Town Council voted to approve the applicant's use of Town right -of -way for temporary loading and unloading. In November of 1999, both the PEC and the Vail Town Council approved an identical variance request (for a two -year period) in anticipation of an approved development plan. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Rezonina Staff recommends that the PEC forward a recommendation of approval of the applicant's request for a rezoning from "Agriculture and Open Space" district to "Ski Base Recreation" district to the Vail Town Council, subject to the following finding: 1. That the proposed zone district is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses, consistent with the Town's Land Use Plan and Zoning Regulations, and appropriate for the area. Conditional Use Permit Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request for a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of a "quasi- public club" and the redevelopment of ski racing facilities, subject to the following findings: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of Chapter 12- 16, Town of Vail Code and the purposes of the Ski Base Recreation district. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Chapter 12- 16, Town of Vail Code (Conditional Use Permits). 2 Development Plan Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request for development plan approval (within the Ski Base Recreation district) subject to the following findings: 1. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. 2. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. 3. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. 4. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system is designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. 5. Compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans has been demonstrated by the applicant. The Department of Community Development recommendation is subject to the following condition: 1. A signed letter of approval of this plan from Vail Associates is required prior to the issuance of a final design review approval from the Town of Vail. IV. REVIEWING BOARD ROLES The PEC is responsible for evaluating a proposal for: - Conformance with development standards of zone district - Lot area - Setbacks - Building Height - Density - GRFA - Site coverage - Landscape area - Parking and loading - Mitigation of development impacts - Compliance with the goals and requirements applicable Master Plans Cl 0 • The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for: - Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings - Fitting buildings into landscape - Configuration of building and grading of a site, which respects the topography - Removal /Preservation of trees and native vegetation - Adequate provision for snow storage on -site - Acceptability of building materials and colors - Acceptability of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms - Provision of landscape and drainage - Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory structures - Circulation and access to a site, including parking, and site distances - Location and design of satellite dishes - Provision of outdoor lighting V. REZONING REQUEST The request for rezoning is necessary due to the existing non - conformities under the current "Agriculture & Open Space" designation. Ski Club Vail does not have the ability to expand under the current zoning. Additionally, due to the encroachment onto Vail Associates' property, it is necessary to apply a consistent zoning among the parcels. Vail Associates' Golden Peak property (Tracts F & B) is zoned "Ski Base Recreation." The PEC shall make the following findings before granting approval of a zone change request: 1) Is the existing zoning suitable with the existing land use on the site and adjacent land uses? Ski Club Vail's property is currently zoned "Agriculture and Open Space" ( "A "). Staff believes the existing zoning is inconsistent with the established use of the property. Intended uses within the current "A" zoning designation include agriculture, public parks, recreation areas, and open space. Staff believes Ski Club Vail's operation is more consistent with the intended uses outlined for the "Ski Base Recreation" district. These include ski racing facilities, ski school facilities, and private /quasi - public /public clubs. Adjacent land uses include the Golden Peak Ski Base (Ski Base Recreation), Manor Vail (High Density Multiple Family), Pinos del Norte /Northwoods (Special Development District #2 /HDMF), and Ford Park (General Use). Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent and suitable with adjacent properties. 4 E, 0 2) Is the amendment presenting a convenient workable relationship with land uses consistent with municipal objectives? Staff believes this proposal furthers municipal land use objectives through the redevelopment of a facility that no longer serves the needs of Ski Club Vail. Many of the traffic congestion problems identified in this area of the East Village are attributable to the current facility (among other properties). Staff believes this proposal presents a feasible, workable solution to the re- occurring traffic problems identified in this area and promotes a much - improved relationship with adjacent properties. 3) Does the rezoning provide for the growth of an orderly viable community? Staff believes this rezoning is necessary to facilitate redevelopment of the property in an orderly, viable fashion. Under the current zoning designation, Ski Club Vail is "non- conforming" and does not have the ability to expand. Given the fact that the facility now serves about 4 times the number of users it served in 1977, staff believes redevelopment/rezoning is the only feasible option at this time. The redevelopment proposal is consistent with applicable development limitations imposed under the proposed zone district. 4) Is the change consistent with the Land Use Plan? The Vail Land Use Plan proposes a future land use designation on this property of "Ski Base. This land use category includes "ski trails, facilities related to a ski base and ski - related improvements." Staff believes the proposed zone district is consistent with this designation while the existing zoning is not. Staff believes the proposed Ski Club Vail rezoning /redevelopment plan would further the following goals identified in the 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 visitors and permanent residents. Goal 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. Goal 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 5 VI. 0 • CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION (DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL) The final development plan indicates the following development statistics: Lot Area (Tracts F & B) = 50.095 acres or 2,182,138.2 square feet Building Height Floor Area Site Coverage Setbacks Parking Spaces Snow Storage (10 %) Total Site Coverage for Ski Base Recreation District /Golden Peak Ski Base (includes structured parking). Allowed /Required 60% at 35'; 40% at 40' per PEC approval per PEC approval per PEC approval per PEC approval 1,066 square feet min Existing 63,979 sf or 2.9% * does not include architectural projections Proposed 31' max.* 24,364 square feet 6,386 square feet 38' front / 100'+ others (Tract B) 22 spaces (7 drop -off) 1,205 square feet Proposed 70,365 sf or 3.2% Criteria used for development plan evaluation within the Ski Base Recreation zone district are as follows: A. "Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole." Thus far, the Town's Planning and Environmental Commission, Design Review Board and Town staff have found this proposal to be in compliance with this provision. Staff believes the facilities provided under this plan are adequate to serve the needs of the growing organization during peak user periods. It is anticipated the proposed parking and drop -off facilities will positively impact traffic flow along Vail Valley Drive. Staff believes the site development plan proposed is both functionally and aesthetically responsive to the surrounding neighborhood and uses. B. "Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas." The proposed site development plan would dramatically increase the amount of landscaping on the property over existing conditions. Representatives from adjacent properties have expressed concerns about the existing landscape island along Vail Valley Drive and its necessity for screening purposes. This redevelopment proposal 0 0 includes the extension of the landscape island by approximately 155 linear feet with a net addition of 16 trees. Additionally, the proposal would add a significant buffer between the new facility and the Pinos del Norte and Northwoods properties. Staff believes the functionality and aesthetics of the proposed landscaping and open space are consistent with the objectives outlined in the Town's Streetscape Master Plan and Land Use Plan. C. "A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development." Ski Club Vail's redevelopment proposal would not alter the bicycle /pedestrian /vehicular circulation system planned and approved as part of the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment in 1995. The plan is consistent with objectives outlined in the Town's Streetscape Master Plan and Vail Village Master Plan. D. "Compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans." Staff has evaluated the proposal for compliance with the applicable elements of the Town of Vail Comprehensive Plan, including: 1. Vail Land Use Plan As mentioned previously, staff believes Ski Club Vail's redevelopment plan would further the following goals identified in the 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 permanent resident. Goal 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. Goal 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 2 Vail Village Master Plan Ski Club Vail is addressed in the Vail Village Master Plan under the "Golden Peak Ski Base Sub - Area." The goals for Vail Village are summarized in six major goal statements. Each major goal focuses on a particular aspect of the Village community (promotion of a healthy economy, environmental protection, etc.). Each identified goal is listed below as well as the applicable objectives and policies that are addressed by the Ski Club Vail redevelopment plan. 7 • o Goal 1 Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. 1.2 Objective: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Goal 2 To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year -round economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. 2.1 Objective: Recognize the variety of land uses found in the 10 sub -areas throughout the Village and allow for development that is compatible with these established land use patterns. 2.5 Objective: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance of existing facilities to better sere the needs of our guests and permanent residents. Goal 3 To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village. 3.1 Objective: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by landscaping and other improvements. 3.1.1 Policy: Private development shall incorporate streetscape improvements (such as paver treatments, landscaping, lighting and seating areas), along adjacent pedestrian ways. 3.4 Objective: Develop additional sidewalks, pedestrian -only walkways and accessible greenspace areas, including pocket parks and stream access. 3.4.2 Policy: Private development projects shall be required to incorporate new sidewalks along streets adjacent to the project as designated in the Vail Village Master Plan and /or the Recreation Trails Master Plan. Goal 4 To preserve existing open space areas and expand greenspace opportunities. 4.1 Objective: Improve existing open space areas and create new plazas with greenspace and pocket parks. Recognize the different roles of each type of open space in forming the overall fabric of the Village. 4.1.3 Policy With the exception of ski -base related facilities, existing natural open space areas at the base of Vail Mountain and throughout Vail Village shall be preserved as open space. I] E, • Goal 5 Increase and improve the capacity, efficiency, and aesthetics of the transportation and circulation system throughout the Village. 5.1 Objective: Meet parking demands with public and private parking facilities. 5.1.5 Policy: Redevelopment projects shall be strongly encouraged to provide underground or visually concealed parking. 5.4 Objective: Improve the streetscape of circulation corridors throughout the Village. Goal 6 To ensure the continued improvement of the vital operational elements of the Village. 6.1 Objective: Provide service and delivery facilities for existing and new development. The specific concepts in the Vail Village Master Plan that address the Golden Peak/Ski Club Vail area serve as advisory guidelines for future land use decisions by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. The Master Plan recognizes that properties within the sub -area will redevelop and states: "Redevelopment will attract additional traffic and population into this area and may have significant impacts upon portions of Sub -Areas 6 (East Gore Creek) and 7 (East Village)." Staff believes the following concepts for the Golden Peak sub -area are carried out with this proposal: Redevelopment ... shall be low profile to minimize impacts on views to Vail Mountain. Plans indicate a 3 -level structure that is substantially below grade (2 levels on the south side, 1 level on the north side). Although applicable zoning would allow a building height of up to 40', the applicant is proposing a structure that is approximately 31' tall at its highest point. Adjacent structures are significantly higher. Staff believes this new facility would have negligible impacts on public views in the vicinity. Commercial activity at this site should be limited to "ski base /recreational" uses. Although no commercial activity is proposed at this location, the uses identified are consistent with the Ski Base /Recreation designation. Additional parking for any facilities is to be provided on site. Staff believes the on -site parking proposed at the new facility is sufficient to meet peak parking demands for Ski Club Vail. 9 0 • Pedestrian improvements, such as sidewalks, are important to connect this sub -area to Ford Park and the soccer field. The redevelopment plan for the new facility indicates an 8 -foot wide concrete unit paver sidewalk adjacent to Ski Club Vail. The existing Town bike path to the east of the facility will be realigned and reconstructed as part of this proposal. 3. Transportation Master Plan The Vail Transportation Master Plan, adopted in 1993, focused on all forms of transportation and developed a long -range implementation strategy for the transportation programs. The Plan is intended to guide the Town's decision - makers in developing a coordinated approach to implementing transportation improvements. The broad categories of the Plan that relate to Ski Club Vail include parking and the pedestrian /trail system interface. The parking issue revolves around the parking supply and demand. The demand for parking at Ski Club Vail varies depending upon the season of the year, day of the week and the time of the day. Based on the existing supply of parking, demand overflows the "horseshoe" drive aisle and necessitates parking on Vail Valley Drive right -of -way during peak user periods. With the expansion of the Ski Club Vail facility, it is anticipated there will be an increased demand for parking. However, staff believes sufficient parking is being provided under the new plan and anticipates no future parking overflow onto Town right -of -way. 4. Streetscape Master Plan Improvements in and around the Ski Club Vail redevelopment area are included in the "East Village" sub -area of the Streetscape Master Plan. This sub -area includes Vail Valley Drive, Hanson Ranch Road, East Gore Creek Drive and East Meadow Drive. The East Village sub -area is predominantly made up of lodges and condominiums. Vehicular traffic is not restricted. The Golden Peak Ski Base facility and the Children's Center are at the center of the sub -area and are both major vehicular and pedestrian destinations. The Streetscape Master Plan recommends that the primary goal for this area is to provide an effective and safe pedestrian system, while accommodating the vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. The Plan recognizes that traffic along Vail Valley Drive is very heavy throughout most of the year. It is especially heavy in the morning and late afternoons during the ski season and evenings and weekends during the summer months. Vail Associates Children's Center and the existing Ski Club Vail facility are both major sources of vehicular congestion during the winter season, with parents dropping -off and picking -up children at the beginning and the end of each day. The streetscape improvement plan for the East Village focuses on the pedestrian corridors adjacent to the asphalt roadway. One of the Plan's goals is to direct pedestrians to key destination points such as the Golden Peak Ski Base facility, the Children's Center, Ford Park and the Ford Amphitheater, and the Village Core. No major changes to the vehicular circulation system or roadway are proposed for this sub -area. The Ski Club Vail redevelopment proposal includes the implementation of a number of elements identified in the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan. The recommended 10 streetscape improvements for the East Village sub -area are listed below (in bold), followed by a staff analysis of how the applicant's proposal complies with, or does not comply with, the recommendations in the Streetscape Master Plan. Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation Along Vail Valley Drive, from Manor Vail's north entry to the soccer field, an eight to ten -foot wide concrete unit paver walkway is recommended on the south side of the road. The Plan points out that retaining walls will be needed in some areas due to an inadequate right -of -way and a hillside being immediately adjacent to the roadway. There is no sidewalk proposed for the north side of the street due to the tight physical constraints along the northerly right -of -way line. The proposed Ski Club Vail plan shows an 8 -foot wide concrete paver sidewalk along Vail Valley Drive adjacent to the Ski Club Vail property. Although the PEC stated on November 8`h that Ski Club Vail would not be held financially responsible for the construction of this sidewalk, the walkway shown on the plan is consistent with the Town's Streetscape Master Plan. Historically, these types of improvements have been the responsibility of the private property owner as part of redevelopment (per the Town's Streetscape Master Plan, Vail Village Master Plan and Chapter 12 -16, Town of Vail Code). A review of the "Preliminary Developer Improvement Agreement for the Golden Peak Ski Base Facility' reveals that Vail Associates has committed to partnering with the Town for the construction of a sidewalk between Golden Peak and the Ford Park Soccer Fields. For a point of reference, Town staff measured existing sidewalks adjacent to Ski Club Vail. Their dimensions are as follows: Sidewalk adjacent to TOV bus shelter: 8 -foot wide (concrete pavers) Vail Valley Drive (GPSB Children's): 8 -foot wide (concrete pavers) Vail Valley Drive (GPSB Main): 6 -foot wide (concrete pavers)* Internal GPSB walkways min. 8 -foot wide (concrete pavers) Pinos del Norte no sidewalk ** Northwoods no sidewalk ** *6 -foot sidewalks exist on both sides of Vail Valley Drive at this location * *Sidewalk improvements have been planned at this location as part of the GPSB redevelopment plan. Necessary streetscape improvements for Vail Valley Drive adjacent to Ski Club Vail will include the following: Planned Improvement Cost Estimate storm sewer system extension $ 10,000.00 streetlights (4) $ 20,000.00 concrete paver sidewalk $ 70.400.00 Total cost for improvements $100,400.00 The revised plan shows the existing Town bike path adjacent to Ski Club Vail remaining intact with a slightly altered route at the rear of the building. Staff supports this decision, 11 � s provided the new path is consistent with Town of Vail construction standards (max. 8% grade, min. 10' width with 2' lateral safety clearance). Some revisions to the path alignment (as proposed) will be necessary to achieve a maximum grade of 8 %. The plan also shows a 6 -foot wide interior pedestrian walkway adjacent to the skier drop -off parking. Given the anticipated loading and drop -off activity within Ski Club Vail's internal drive aisle, staff believes the proposed 6 -foot sidewalk is a major improvement over the previous 4 -foot path shown in the early phases of plan development. One of the problematic areas identified within the East Village Sub -Area is a lack of landscaped islands or berms between private parking areas and public areas /rights -of- way. The proposed site plan indicates the existing landscape island at Ski Club Vail will be extended significantly. Staff strongly supports this decision and recommends every attempt possible be made to preserve the integrity of the mature trees on site. Staff believes ample landscaping is provided at other locations on the plan. At the November 16`h Vail Town Council meeting, Councilman Chuck Ogilby suggested Ski Club Vail pursue the relocation of the existing large spruce trees (to the west of the existing structure adjacent to the retaining wall) to the landscape island. Staff also supports this suggestion. VII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT In accordance with Chapter 16 of the Town of Vail Code, an application for a conditional use permit within the Ski Base Recreation District shall be subject to the following development factors and criteria: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. The Town of Vail Code allows for the operation of "quasi- public clubs" and the "redevelopment of ski racing facilities" at this location, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. The Code requires the issuance of a conditional use permit for these uses, in part, so that adequate steps are taken to ensure that the proposed use is in compliance with the Town's development objectives. As demonstrated previously, staff believes this proposal complies with applicable elements of Vail's Comprehensive Plan. 2. 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. The requested conditional use permit will have positive effects on the immediate needs of the facility to meet growing demands. The existing Ski Club Vail facility imposes seasonal demands on public facilities and infrastructure — most notably transportation facilities. At times, these demands reach problematic proportions. 12 0 0 Staff believes this proposal will effectively alleviate these demands on the above - listed facilities. 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. Staff believes this proposal will greatly enhance the traffic flow and pedestrian safety in the area by eliminating the problematic use of town right -of -way for short -term parking. Additionally, staff believes the pedestrian improvements proposed will help keep users away from areas where automobile /pedestrian conflicts have arisen in the past. 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 footprint for the new structure would be located approximately 25' to the south and 60' to the east of the existing structure. Staff believes the proposed bulk, mass, character and scale of the proposed structure is compatible and consistent with adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. At their December 1st meeting, the Town's Design Review Board conducted a preliminary review of the plans and indicated Ski Club Vail "was headed in exactly the right direction." Reduced copies of the proposed site plan, floor plans and building elevations are included in this memorandum. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the Zoning Regulations and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Regulations. 13 TOWN � 0 FILE COPY Department of Community Development 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970 - 479 -2138 FAX 970 - 479 -2452 December 2, 1999 Pam Hopkins Snowdon and Hopkins Architects 201 Gore Creek Drive Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Ski Club Vail Dear Pam: At their December 1, 1999 meeting, the Town of Vail Design Review Board (DRB) conceptually reviewed the redevelopment plan for the above - referenced property. The project was very well received and the DRB bad the following comments: ■ "The existing rocks within the landscaped island work very well. We encourage you to replicate this with the extension of the island.

Community Development Department 2 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: November 22, 1999 SUBJECT: A request for a worksession to discuss a redevelopment proposal involving a rezoning, conditional use permit revision and development plan approval for Ski Club Vail, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST A request for a worksession to discuss a proposal involving a rezoning, conditional use permit revision and development plan approval for future redevelopment of Ski Club Vail. This proposal includes the demolition and reconstruction of the Ski Club Vail facility with an encroachment onto Vail Associates property. In conjunction with the expansion, the property would be rezoned (to Ski Base Recreation) in accordance with the approved development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base. A detailed analysis of this proposal is given in Section V of this memorandum. II. BACKGROUND On November 8t ", the PEC reviewed Ski Club Vail's conceptual redevelopment plan. The following key issues were identified: • The re- alignment of the existing TOV bike path adjacent to Ski Club Vail. • The width of the interior pedestrian path adjacent to the proposed skier drop -off parking. • Snow storage and /or removal. • Preservation of the mature vegetation at the existing landscape island. Ski Club Vail submitted a revised plan based on the comments /concerns expressed by the PEC at this meeting. Reduced copies of these plans are attached to this memo for reference. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Since this is a request for a worksession, staff will not be providing a recommendation. Staff will forward a recommendation at the time of final PEC review of this item. IV. REVIEWING BOARD ROLES The PEC is responsible for evaluating a proposal for: - Conformance with development standards of zone district (the PEC will be responsible for final approval of the development plan and conditional use permit and forward a recommendation on the rezoning to the Vail Town Council). - Lot area - Setbacks - Building Height - Density - GRFA - Site coverage - Landscape area - Parking and loading - Mitigation of development impacts - Compliance with the goals and requirements applicable Master Plans The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for: - Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings - Fitting buildings into landscape - Configuration of building and grading of a site, which respects the topography - Removal /Preservation of trees and native vegetation - Adequate provision for snow storage on -site - Acceptability of building materials and colors - Acceptability of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms - Provision of landscape and drainage - Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory structures - Circulation and access to a site, including parking, and site distances - Location and design of satellite dishes - Provision of outdoor lighting V. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS / CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION Following is a preliminary description of criteria used for development plan evaluation within the Ski Base Recreation zone district: r "Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood." Preliminary sketches indicate the following development statistics: Lot Area (Tracts F & B) = 50.095 acres or 2,182,138.2 square feet Restriction Building Height Floor Area Site Coverage Setbacks Parking Spaces Site Coverage for Ski Base Recreation District (Golden Peak Ski Base). Allowed /Required 60% at 35'; 40% at 40' per PEC approval per PEC approval per PEC approval per PEC approval Existin 63,979 sf or 2.9% Proposed approx. 31' approx. 24,540 sf approx. 6,350 sf 38' front / 100'+ others (Tract B) 22 spaces (7 drop -off) Proposed 70,329 sf or 3.2% The footprint for the new structure would be located approximately 25' to the south and 60' to the east of the existing structure. Staff believes the proposed bulk, mass, character and scale of the proposed structure is compatible and consistent with adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Given the somewhat limited shifting of the building configuration, staff believes impacts to private views from Manor Vail and Northwoods /Pinos del Norte toward the ski mountain would be minimal. At their November 3rd pre- meeting, the Town's Design Review Board conducted a cursory, informal review of the plans and indicated Ski Club Vail "was headed in the right direction." Reduced copies of the proposed site plan, floor plans and building elevations are included in this memorandum. Other criteria relevant to PEC evaluation of development plans for properties within the Ski Base Recreation district include: "Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood; open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic; pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems are designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development; the development plan is in compliance with applicable comprehensive plan elements." Following is a summary of the key issues outlined by the PEC at their November 8th meeting: 3 Streetscaoe MasterDlan Compliance Bicycle /Pedestrianization — The revised redevelopment plans shows the existing bike path re- aligned to a nearly identical location. The path, as outlined, meets the Town's standards for multi -use paths. Staff strongly supports this decision. The revised plan also shows a 6 foot wide interior pedestrian walkway adjacent to the skier drop -off parking (the previous plan showed a 4 foot walk). Given the anticipated loading and drop -off activity within Ski Club Vail's internal drive aisle, staff believes the proposed 6' sidewalk is a major improvement. Additionally, the revised plan shows an 8 foot wide sidewalk along Vail Valley Drive adjacent to the Ski Club Vail property. Although the PEC stated on November 8th that Ski Club Vail would not be held financially responsible for the construction of this sidewalk, the walkway shown on the revised plan is consistent with the Town's Streetscape Master Plan. Historically, these types of improvements have been the responsibility of the private property owner as part of redevelopment (per the Town's Streetscape Master Plan). The Town of Vail has no plans for an additional sidewalk on the north side of Vail Valley Drive adjacent to Manor Vail. Landscaping —One of the problematic areas identified within the East Village Sub -Area is a lack of landscaped islands or berms between private parking areas and public areas /rights -of -way. The proposed site plan indicates the existing landscape island at Ski Club Vail will be extended significantly. Staff strongly supports this decision and recommends every attempt possible be made to preserve the integrity of the mature trees on site. Staff believes ample landscaping is provided at other locations on the plan. At the November 16th Vail Town Council meeting, Councilman Chuck Ogilby suggested Ski Club Vail pursue the relocation of the existing large spruce trees (to the west of the existing structure adjacent to the retaining wall) to the landscape island. Staff supports this suggestion as well. Additional landscaping specifics will be addressed as part of the design review process. Parking /Loading /Delivery Plans indicate 8 interior entry -level long -term parking spaces and 7 exterior long -term parking spaces as part of the proposed redevelopment. Additionally, 7 parallel "skier drop -off" spaces are shown as part of a proposed 30' wide "horseshoe" drive aisle. Staff anticipates cars will stage within the drive aisle when all 7 "skier drop -off" spaces are used during peak hours. However, staff believes a 30' drive aisle should be able to accommodate cars on each side with an estimated 12' interior clearance for vehicles exiting the property during "worst case scenarios." The 8 interior parking /loading bays are designed to accommodate Ski Club Vail's vans used for equipment and personnel transport. Pursuant to Section 12- 10 -13, Town of Vail Code, staff does not believe a commercial loading berth is necessary at this location given the nature of loading and delivery activity at Ski Club Vail. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) estimates a facility of this size and nature would generate a peak parking demand for 19 parking spaces. Staff believes the J proposed 22 parking /drop -off spaces proposed are adequate to meet peak demands at Ski Club Vail. However, some minor "tweaking" of proposed parking areas will be needed to achieve compliance with the Town's development standards (sepcifically turning radii). Trash Facilities / Snow Removal /Management Preliminary sketches for the property show an industrial sized trash storage facility at the northeast end of the building. Staff believes the size of the trash storage facility and its location are adequate to serve Ski Club Vail's purposes. Design of the storage structure will be addressed during the design review process, but in any case it will be required to be enclosed (as demonstrated on the attached plan). Ski Club Vail will be required to provide a snow storage area on private property. Town standards for snow storage are as follows: 10% of impervious surface area (if heated); 30% of impervious surface area (no heat). Staff believes physical constraints (primarily grades) on the property will make snow storage somewhat difficult. As a result, a snowmelting system might be a more practical solution in this instance. Currently the plans do not address snow storage. This will need to be addressed prior to final PEC approval. Construction Schedule — At their October 25`h meeting, the PEC inquired about Ski Club Vail's anticipated construction schedule. The organization anticipates demolition of the existing building beginning April 15`h, 2000 and completion of the new structure by November 1, 2000. IN SUMMARY Staff believes this proposal is a major improvement for Ski Club Vail overall and a step in the right direction. However, staff believes the following key issues should be addressed by the applicant prior to final development plan approval: ■ A demonstrated plan for snow storage. '61 I Z, 8!k- II MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: November 16, 1999 SUBJECT: A request for the use of a portion of Town of Vail right -of -way for short -term parking /drop -off adjacent to Ski Club Vail, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST On November 8, 1999, the Town's Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) approved Ski Club Vail's request for a variance to allow for parking on Town right -of -way (and within required setbacks). The approval would allow Ski Club Vail affiliates to utilize the road shoulder along Vail Valley Drive as a short -term parking /loading area. The PEC's approval of this request carried a number of conditions regarding the management of parking within the right -of -way. Since the request involves the use of public property, an approval by the Vail Town Council is required as well. II. BACKGROUND The following is a brief history of the application and related issues: On November of 1998, the Vail Town Council and the Planning and Environmental Commission approved Ski Club Vail's previous request for a variance to allow for temporary parking /loading in the Town's right -of -way with the following conditions: That the approval be limited to a period of one year between the dates of November 6th and May 10th and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. t That the terms outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding dated January 6th, 1998, be fulfilled in their entirety. ,1 That an agreement be established between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail for the management (maintenance, signage, enforcement) of parking on this property. <I That Ski Club Vail submit a long -term parking /development plan for review no later than February 28, 1999. No future variance requests will be considered without the submittal of a long -term plan. t That all signage required for maintenance and enforcement of the parking area be paid for by the applicant. + G/M -�- jA � s VA C �f/�,✓ �!' L � '-FGA � ��ti�.� V That an ultimate solution for the use of the " turn around area" and road shoulder be arranged in the agreement between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail. That the Vail Town Council approve the use of the right -of -way for this purpose. If, at any point during this approval period, the Town of Vail deems the parking /loading management situation inadequate, outstanding issues will be resolved by the "assessment committee " -a committee derived of representatives from the Town of Vail, Ski Club Vail and Vail Associates. The Town of Vail Police Department reports Ski Club Vail's managed parking solution worked very well last ski season. There were no incidents reported during last year's period of variance approval. Ski Club Vail is currently working with Vail Resorts and Town staff to formalize a development plan which addresses all of the concerns vocalized during last year's discussions. The PEC reviewed Ski Club Vail's redevelopment plans on November 8, 1999 and the proposal was well - received with no major issues identified. Staff anticipates the rezoning and development plan approval process for the club's redevelopment will be completed by early January. In the meantime, however, Ski Club Vail has requested an extension of their variance to allow for an identical managed parking situation this ski season. The following is a brief history of the development of Ski Club Vail: On August 26, 1976, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of Ski Club Vail. At that time, the PEC did not require any parking and stated "...we feel additional parking in this location is not appropriate." However, Ski Club served approximately 75 users in 1976; today the facility serves over 300. On March 24, 1986, the PEC granted a variance for the use of the front setback area/right -of- way as a loading and unloading zone for a one -year period. The approval was conditioned on Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop -off" zone. At that time, Ski Club Vail leased additional parking spaces from the Ramshorn Condominium Association. This lease agreement is no longer in effect. After the one -year PEC approval expired, additional approvals were not requested. In January of 1998, the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and Ski Club Vail drafted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding parking management for the Golden Peak Ski Base area facilities. Under this MOU, the Town Manager agreed to discuss Ski Club Vail's parking situation with the Town Council. At their October 13, 1998 meeting, the Vail Town Council directed Ski Club Vail personnel to bring an application to correct the parking and loading problems on site before the PEC for approval. After the PEC granted last year's variance request, the Vail Town Council voted to approve the applicant's use of Town right -of -way for temporary loading and unloading. 2 III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Community Development Department staff recommend approval of the applicant's request for the use of Town of Vail right -of -way to allow for short -term parking and drop -off, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. This recommendation of approval includes the following conditions: 1. That the approval be limited to a period of no more than 2 years between the dates of November 6, 1999 and May 10, 2001 and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Ski Club Vail volunteers will monitor and "police" the drop- off /parking activity to ensure compliance with conditions of approval. 2. If, at any point during this approval period, the Town of Vail recognizes significant safety or traffic circulation issues, this approval will be revoked. 3. The "horseshoe" drive aisle will remain clear for usage as a turnaround area. The following pages include conceptual plans for Ski Club Vail's redevelopment proposal. These plans are included for informational purposes only as the Town Council will review the redevelopment proposal in its entirety in December, 1999. 3 o o p �r� i I >L i Zy ClN- PW I ti g • << ) w4�ss 7� V7 ZI ca 2 I �0-7 1> l i _ . •��,•.� � '� � °`6.

In this proposal Ski Club intends to man the weekends and race days with three attendants; two in front of the club and one in front of Pinos del Norte/Northwoods parking garage. During club functions we will.have one attendant in front of the club. During business hours ( 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Tuesday thru Sunday) Ski Club has a staff of three full time people who will be monitoring the loading zone. Ski Club Vail will install "Loading Zone Only" signs in the proposed area. The signs will have an agreed upon time limit. If an unauthorized car is in the loading zone or unattended car is there past the time limit, the attendants will notify the Police Department. 598 Vail Valley Drive • Vail, Colorado 81657 • (970) 476 -5119 • (970) 476 -7287 (Fax) 4w jf IIJO -ANUM IL ,4f i 'S ' n�R a ---1 cl r y F i 0 r J x� r � 3g 3� / i�1;4(, i --AM �O c� G _F- � r � � 4 M Job ra.mbar 9925 SKI CLUB VAI L - Snowdon and Hopkins • Architects, P.C. oars 11/1/99 PART OF TRACT B, VV 7th FILING VaB,Colorado81657e FAX 476 -7497 TOWNOF VAIL, COLORADO P.O.

Colorado 60420 FAX 547 0564 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: November 9, 1998 SUBJECT: A request for a variance from Section. 12 -8A -11 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, to allow for parking and loading within required setbacks, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive /A portion of Tract B, Vail Village 711 Filing. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for temporary parking and loading within the front setback on an Agriculture /Open Space zoned lot. The proposal would allow Ski Club Vail to use a portion of the Town's right -of -way along Vail Valley Drive as a temporary (1998/99 season) loading /unloading area and an "interior' pedestrian walkway. Approval of this request would allow for the addition of approximately nine temporary parking /loading spaces. riyure i. rortlon of Town of Vail right -of -way affected by this request. *YAaIVWN BACKGROUND Proiect Histo On August 26, 1976, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of Ski Club Vail. At that time, the PEC did not require any parking and stated "...we feel additional parking in this location is not appropriate." On March 24, 1986, the PEC granted a variance for the use of the front setback area /right -of- way as a loading and unloading zone for a one year period. The approval was conditioned on Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop -off' zone. At that time, Ski Club Vail leased additional parking spaces from Ramshorn Condominiums. This lease agreement is no longer in effect. After the one -year PEC approval expired, additional approvals were not requested. Therefore, the operation has been occurring for 11 years without the required approvals. In January of this year, the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and Ski Club Vail drafted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) (Attachment "A ") regarding parking, loading /unloading and vehicular access for Ski Club Vail and the Golden Peak ski facility. Under this MOU, the Town Manager agreed to discuss Ski Club Vail's parking situation with the Town Council. At their October 13, 1998 meeting, Council directed Ski Club Vail personnel to bring an application to correct the parking and loading problems on site before the PEC for approval. Parkino and Rioht- of -Wav Management Issues Ski Club Vail personnel are currently working with the Town of Vail Public Works Department to address existing drainage and snow storage issues. They have obtained a public way permit for drainage improvements to the existing parking areas, but are requesting additional snow removal services from the Town as part of this application. It will be necessary to have all vehicles removed from the area each morning prior to snow removal. As demonstrated in Figure 1, this area is currently used for a significant amount of snow storage. The Town has experienced problems in the past on this site with the expenditure of personnel hours for parking management. The applicant states that the area will be monitored by Ski Club Vail staff /volunteers until 9:00 a.m. with Vail Associates managing the parking after 9:00 a.m. However, Vail Associates is not a party to this application and no records have been submitted which reflect such an agreement. If the PEC grants an approval of this request, the usage of the Town's right -of -way, which is public property, will be available to the general public - not just Ski Club Vail affiliates. Additionally, signage which reflects applicable restrictions on parking will need to be provided by the applicant. E I 13 III. ZONING ANALYSIS Zoning: Agriculture /Open Space Lot Size: 11,543 square feet Use: Ski Base Recreation Standard Allowed /Required Site Coverage: 572.65 sq. ft. (5 %) Parking: PEC determined Setbacks: Front: 20' W. Side: 15' E. Side: 15' Rear 15' IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Factors: J Existing Proposed 3293 sq. ft. (28 %) no change 4 spaces no change 20' no change 15' no change 15' no change 0' no change Upon review of Section 12 -17 -6 of the Vail Municipal Code, Criteria and Findings, the Community Development Department recommends denial of the requested variance based on the following factors: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Adjacent uses /structures include the Golden Peak Ski Facility, Manor Vail and Pinos Del Norte /Northwoods. The portion of the Golden Peak lot to the south of Ski Club Vail - previously used as a construction staging area by Vail Associates - is required (by the Town of Vail) to be revegetated. Additionally, the bike path which has been used to access this area was not designed to accommodate vehicular traffic and usage of this path has been problematic. Thus, utilization of this area for additional Ski Club parking is not feasible in the short term. Residents from other adjacent properties ( Pinos Del Norte /Northwoods, Manor Vail) have voiced concerns that their parking areas and driveways have been used by Ski Club Vail affiliates for turnaround access and that loading /unloading at Ski Club Vail congests traffic along Vail Valley Drive. Please refer to Attachments "C ", "D" and "E" for details. 9 Figure 2. Bike Path between Golden Peak and Northwoods lots currently used for access to parking area (to be revegetated). 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. Staff believes that the granting of this variance would be a grant of special privilege. Under the Agricultural /Open Space zoning, Ski Club Vail operates on a non - conforming lot with a serious parking /loading deficiency. The existing "horseshoe" turnaround area is insufficient to meet the needs of Ski Club Vail participants and vendors. There are no alternative parking or loading areas currently available on site. It appears that Ski Club Vail may have grown to a point where either a new location which provides adequate parking and loading or a major redevelopment with structured parking is necessary. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of Population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. 4 The Town of Vail Police Department believes the use of this area for loading and unloading creates a potentially hazardous pedestrian and vehicular traffic situation. Please refer to Attachment "B" for details. The Community Development Department believes this application will make the pedestrian circulation in this immediate area more complicated and dangerous. Given the tight constraints of the majority of this shoulder (8' in width), pedestrians will be forced to walk in and along the street. A pedestrian walkway through this area needs to be well- defined, separated from the roadway and raised behind a curb. Additionally, placement of cars within the front setback presents a sight triangle /visibility hazard for motorists pulling out of the horseshoe turnaround. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. C. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. 5 V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends denial of the requested variance, subject to the following findings: That the granting of the variance may be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request, the Community Development Department recommends the following conditions: That the approval be limited to a period of one year between the dates of November 6th and May 10th and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. 2. That the terms outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding dated January 6th, 1998 be fulfilled in their entirety. 3. That an agreement be established between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail for the management (maintenance, signage, enforcement) of parking on this property.

BrandmeYAssistant Town Manager DATE: January 6, 1998 RE: Golden Peak Parking /Congestion What follows reflects our understanding of commitments made by Ski Club Vail, Vail Associates, and the Town of Vail in regard to parking, loading and unloading, drop -off and other vehicular areas of congestion: Short Term Solutions, January through April, 1998, Only: 1. The lot north of the new Golden Peak facility remains a public skier drop -off area and should be used. for loading and delivery. Terms and conditions: five minute limit with no unattended vehicles allowed. In order to accommodate this, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates will continue to work actively on managing the parking. 2. Ski Club Vail will clear the parking horseshoe to the north of their facility of vans and other vehicles prior to 8:00 a.m. each morning. These vehicles will be moved to Ford Park during the day and then returned to Ski Club Vail's horseshoe parking area to provide a secure area at night. Vail Associates will commit to plowing through the horseshoe as long as vehicles are moved by 8:00 a.m. daily. 3. Ski Club Vail will commit to keeping their vans out of the Ski Club Vail horseshoe area at peak tunes in the afternoon. Although the Town of Vail will continue to use guest services expertise and personal discretion, this does not mean tickets will not be issued to unattended vehicles. Unattended vehicles will be ticketed and possibly towed at the owner's expense. Following an educational period that began prior to Thanksgiving fol!owed by written �� RECYCLF,DPAPER Nall We education handed directly to parents and users of the Golden Peak area since December 12, 1997, the Police Department will continue to educate through the weekend of January 10th, with full implementation of ticketing and towing to occur the weekend of January 17, 1998. Ski Club Vail (Kate Asoian) will commit to providing Dick Gericke with a mailing list of parents by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 6, 1998. At its own expense, the Town of Vail will mail the educational material to the over 300 parents from Ski Club Vail participants. Long Term Solutions: The Town of Vail (Bob McLaurin) will commit to discussing with the Town Council a temporary only use of parking on Town of Vail right -of -way in front of Ski Club Vail. For a time specific this would allow pedestrian traffic an interior route with a special drop -off only, no unattended vehicles, no on- street stopping, in front of the Ski Club Vail facility (January through April, 1998). 2. The Town of Vail will consider a request for excavation of parking to the east and possibly the south of the Ski Club Vail facility. This will mean scrutiny of the Pinos del Norte land deed to discern what restrictions may apply. 3. The Town of Vail will commit to working on preliminary design work for Vail Valley Drive to accommodate Ski Club Vail's redesign of its horseshoe drop -off area as well as extended parking.

After reviewing this request with my staff, I want to express my very strong opposition to this request due to it's negative impact on pedestrian safety, traffic flow and especially our bus system in that area. Since the redevelopment of Golden Peak, cars stopping on the shoulder of Vail Valley Drive, or pulling up onto the sidewalks, have caused traffic delays in the area. From personal experience I can attest that once just one car pulls to the side of the road and stops to unload, immediately many other cars do exactly the same. The car doors fly open . and suddenly adults and children are stepping into the traffic lane causing others cars to come to a stop. The result is an immediate traffic jam on Vail Valley Drive which often times backs traffic up all the way out to the frontage road. Town of Vail busses get caught in the jam which then slows down the entire in- town route. Evening loading creates the same problems as cars pull off to the side and wait for skiers to walk to their cars, or often time parents leave their cars and Qo in search of their children. During holidays and busy weekends police officers and CEOs have been stationed in the area to keep traffic moving. On numerous occasions though, every on -duty police officer and CEO have been required to respond to the area. Our most effective traffic management strategy has been to prevent any cars from stopping on the side of the road to unload. This results in the free movement of traffic and the greatest safety for pedestrians. Allowing Ski Club Vail to establish a loading and unloading zone on the roadside will only result in once again having significant traffic jams on Vail Valley Drive. The number of Ski Club Vail members arriving at the same time in the morning will far exceed the number of spaces on the side of the road. By the time a Ski Club Vail driver gets to the proposed unloading zone, he /she will have passed the unloading zones at Golden Peak. Seeing the SCV unloading zone full, a driver will most likely pull to the side of the road outside the unloading zone, stop in the traffic lane to wait for a space to become available, unload while double parking in the street or make a U -turn in the roadway to return to Golden Peak. All of these actions negatively- effect traffic flow and safety in the area. Additionally drivers not affiliated with Ski Club Vail, will be attracted to the unloading zone and further compound the problems. I would, however, strongly support the placement of a cement sidewalk between Golden Peak and Ski Club Vail. on the South side of Vail Valley Drive. Such a sidewalk would greatly increase pedestrian safety in the area, especially for SCV children, while SCV utilized the unloadinu zones at Golden Peak. w c4 O z s 0 Lam°nt UWE —1198 Time. 11:59.36 AM 0 Memo Regarding Traffic control and parking issues surrounding. Golden Peak To Mayor Rob Ford and Town Council Members From T. J. Noonan. Manager DatelTime 2/3/98 at 11:31 AM Subject Personal observations The following is a brief outline of the continued problems with traffic control and parking at Golden Peak Ski Club Vail continues to be a problem as cars are parking illegally on Vail Valley Drive, when the Police do not enforce the rules cars are continuing to pick up and drop passengers. During Christmas I witnessed cars parked illegally on the sidewalk next to the Children's ski school, on one occasion the Town Traffic control vehicle was parked on the sidewalk This will ruin the sidewalk in a very short time. Cars were backed up at the Children's center obstructing traffic on Vail Valley Drive during brief periods, during the Christmas rush. Our driveway is used continually as a turnaround point for Ski Club Vail cars and others that are dropping off skiers. I have noted the skier drop -off parking at Golden Peak has many vehicles parking for a long duration of time, why? I hope that these brief observation are helpful for further action to resolve the traffic issues. IM T`- i -Y, aL% 1 01 • %JAU.A murc I UN LAWANY ; z- 0 -5b ; 1 :41 MAIN FAX J MORTON- 30347,--,.

Pam states "the Town of Vail will consider a request for excavation of parking to the east and possibly the south of the Ski Club Vail facility. This will mean scrutiny of the Pinos del Norte land deed to discern what restrictions may apply." The Ski Club Vail property is zoned The property immediately surrounding this parcel is zoned Ski Base Recreation. The Town Zoning Code, Section 12 -6H- 11, Parking and Loading, requires that at least 75% of the required parking be located within the main building or buildings, or shall be completely hidden from public view from adjoining properties within a landscaped berm. This provision would require that any additional parking created by Ski Club Vail be fully screened from adjoining properties. Additionally, the Code states that no parking shall be located in any required front setback area. The front setback for Ski Club Vail is`20' -and therefore,-no parking can be located within this area (20' from the northerly property line). Given those constraints, it may be difficult to locate additional parking on the Ski Club Vail parcel. Should Ski Club Vail wish to pursue the expansion of parking on adjacent property that is zoned Ski Base Recreation, an amendment to the approved development plan for Gold Peak would be required. This would involve review and approval by the Planning and Environmental Commission. Finally, it is important to note that in the Ski Base Recreation Zone District, there is no prohibition against parking in the front setback. Please let me know if you need any further information on this matter. VAIL POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Bob MCLaurin.

Town Manager FROM: Greg Morrison, Chief of Police DATE: October 9, 1998 REF: Ski Club Vail A request has been made by Ski Club Vail to upgrade the shoulder of Vail Valley Drive and allow loading and unloading between Golden Peak and the Ski Club Vail facility. After reviewing this request with my staff, I want to express my very strong opposition to this request due to it's negative impact on pedestrian safety, traffic flow and especially our bus system in that area. Since the redevelopment of Golden Peak, cars stopping on the shoulder of Vail Valley Drive, or pulling up onto the sidewalks, have caused traffic delays in the area. From personal experience I can attest that once just one car pulls to the side of the road and stops to unload, immediately many other cars do exactly the same. The car doors fly open and suddenly adults and children are stepping into the traffic lane causing others cars to come to a stop. The result is an immediate traffic jam on Vail Valley Drive which often times backs traffic up all the way out to the frontage road. Town of Vail busses get caught in the jam which then slows down the entire in- town route. Evening loading creates the same problems as cars pull off to the side and wait for skiers to walk to their cars, or often time parents leave their cars and go in search of their children. During holidays and busy weekends police officers and CEOs have been stationed in the area to keep traffic moving. On numerous occasions though, every on -duty police officer and CEO have been required to respond to the area. Our most effective traffic management strategy has been to prevent any cars from stopping on the side of the road to unload. This results in the free movement of traffic and the greatest safety for pedestrians. Allowing Ski Club Vail to establish a loading and unloading zone on the roadside will only result in once again having significant traffic jams on Vail Valley Drive. The number of Ski Club Vail members arriving at the same time in the morning will far exceed the number of spaces on the side of the road. By the time a Ski Club Vail driver gets to the proposed unloading zone, he /she will have passed the unloading zones at Golden Peak. Seeing the SCV unloading zone full, a driver will most likely pull to the side of the road outside the unloading zone, stop in the traffic lane to wait for a space to become available, unload while double parking in the street or make a U -turn in the roadway to return to Golden Peak. All of these actions negatively- effect traffic flow and safety in the area. Additionally drivers not affiliated with Ski Club Vail, will be attracted to the unloading zone and further compound the problems. I would, however, strongly support the placement of a cement sidewalk between Golden Peak and Ski Club Vail, on the South side of Vail Valley Drive. Such a sidewalk would greatly increase pedestrian safety in the area, especially for SCV children, while SCV utilized the unloadinu zones at Golden Peak. 0 MEMORANDUM TO: Susan Connelly FROM: Mike Mollica *k DATE: January 9, 1998 RE: Ski Club Vail In response to your questions regarding Pam Brandmeyer's January 6, 1998 memorandum on the Golden Peak parking /congestion issue, I would like to expand on Pam's proposed long -term solution Q. Pam states "the Town of Vail will consider a request for excavation of parking to the east and possibly the south of the Ski Club Vail facility. This will mean scrutiny of the Pinos del Norte land deed to discern what restrictions may apply." wi uO UNdk 10 The Ski Club Vail property is zoned ifth 'ft' 3 'ity7Tvi ;y. The property immediately surrounding this parcel is zoned Ski Base Recreation. The Town Zoning Code, Section 12 -611- 11, Parking and Loading, requires that at least 75% of the required parking be located within the main building or buildings, or shall be completely hidden from public view from adjoining properties within a landscaped berm. This provision would require that any additional parking created by Ski Club Vail be fully screened from adjoining properties. Additionally, the Code states that no parking shall be located in any required front setback area. The front setback for Ski Club Vail is'`20' -and therefore, no parking can be located within this area (20' from the northerly property line). Given those constraints, it may be difficult to locate additional parking on the Ski Club Vail parcel. Should Ski Club Vail wish to pursue the expansion of parking on adjacent property that is zoned Ski Base Recreation, an amendment to the approved development plan for Gold Peak would be required. This would involve review and approval by the Planning and Environmental Commission. Finally, it is important to note that in the Ski Base Recreation Zone District, there is no prohibition against parking in the front setback. Please let me know if you need any further information on this matter.

Community Development Department 2 J MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: November 8, 1999 1.r/ SUBJECT: A request for an extension of a previously - granted variance and a request for a worksession to discuss a redevelopment proposal involving a rezoning, conditional use permit revision and development plan approval for Ski Club Vail, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST This application involves two separate requests: 1) a request for an extension of a previously - granted variance to allow for temporary parking and loading within the front setback on an Agriculture /Open Space zoned lot. The proposal would allow Ski Club Vail to use a portion of the Town's right -of- way along Vail Valley Drive as a temporary loading /unloading area. Approval of this request would allow for the addition of approximately nine temporary parking /loading spaces. 2) a request for a worksession to discuss a proposal involving a rezoning, conditional use permit revision and development plan approval for future redevelopment of Ski Club Vail. This proposal includes the expansion of the current Ski Club Vail structure with an encroachment onto Vail Associates property. In conjunction with the expansion, the property would be rezoned (to Ski Base Recreation) in accordance with the approved development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base. A complete analysis of this proposal is given in Section VII of this memorandum. II. BACKGROUND On November 9, 1998, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved Ski Club Vail's previous request for a variance to allow for temporary parking /loading in the Town's right -of -way with the following conditions: That the approval be limited to a period of one year between the dates of November 6th and May 10th and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 P.M. That the terms outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding dated January 6th, 1998, be fulfilled in their entirety. 1 That an agreement be established between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail for the management (maintenance, signage, enforcement) of parking on this property. That Ski Club Vail submit a long -term parking /development plan for review no later than February 28, 1999. No future variance requests will be considered without the submittal of a long -term plan. =t That all signage required for maintenance and enforcement of the parking area be paid for by the applicant. = That an ultimate solution for the use of the " turn around area" and road shoulder be arranged in the agreement between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail. t That the Vail Town Council approve the use of the right -of -way for this purpose. If, at any point during this approval period, the Town of Vail deems the parking /loading management situation inadequate, outstanding issues will be resolved by the "assessment committee " -a committee derived of representatives from the Town of Vail, Ski Club Vail and Vail Associates. The Town of Vail Police Department reports Ski Club Vail's managed parking solution worked very well last ski season. There were no incidents reported during last year's period of variance approval. Ski Club Vail is currently working with Vail Resorts and Town staff to formalize a development plan which addresses all of the concerns vocalized during last year's discussions. This application is the first step in pursuing this long -term solution. In the meantime, however, Ski Club Vail has requested an extension of their variance to allow for an identical managed parking situation this ski season. Following is a brief history of the development of Ski Club Vail: On August 26, 1976, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of Ski Club Vail. At that time, the PEC did not require any parking and stated "...we feel additional parking in this location is not appropriate." However, Ski Club served approximately 75 users in 1976; today the facility serves over 300. On March 24, 1986, the PEC granted a variance for the use of the front setback area /right -of- way as a loading and unloading zone for a one -year period. The approval was conditioned on Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop -off' zone. At that time, Ski Club Vail leased additional parking spaces from the Ramshorn Condominium Association. This lease agreement is no longer in effect. After the one -year PEC approval expired, additional approvals were not requested. In January of 1998, the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and Ski Club Vail drafted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding parking management for the Golden Peak Ski Base area facilities. Under this MOU, the Town Manager agreed to discuss Ski Club Vail's parking situation with the Town Council. At their October 13, 1998 meeting, the Vail Town Council directed Ski Club Vail personnel to bring an application to correct the parking and loading problems on site before the PEC for approval. After the PEC granted last year's variance request, the Vail Town r Council voted to approve the applicant's use of Town right -of -way for temporary loading and unloading. Parking and Right -of -Way Management Issues: The Town has experienced problems in the past on this site with the expenditure of personnel hours for parking management. The applicant states the area will be monitored by Ski Club Vail staff /volunteers until 9:00 a.m. with Vail Associates managing the parking after 9:00 a.m. This is the same parking management strategy implemented last year and the Town believes this to be a feasible solution on a temporary basis. However, if the PEC grants an approval of this request, the usage of the Town's right -of -way, which is public property, will be available to the general public as well as Ski Club Vail affiliates. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request for an extension of a previously - granted variance from Section 12- 8A -11, Town of Vail Code, to allow for parking and loading within required setbacks, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. This recommendation of approval includes the following conditions: 1. That the approval be limited to a period of no more than 2 years between the dates of November 6, 1999 and May 10, 2001 and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Ski Club Vail volunteers will monitor and "police" the drop- off /parking activity to ensure compliance. 2. No future variance requests of this nature will be considered by the Town. 3. That the Vail Town Council approve the use of the right -of -way for this purpose. 4. If, at any point during this approval period, the Town of Vail recognizes significant safety or traffic circulation issues, this variance approval will be revoked. 5. The "horseshoe" drive aisle will remain clear for usage as a turnaround area. 3 IV. REVIEWING BOARD ROLES The PEC is responsible for evaluating a proposal for: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this Title without grant of special privilege. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for: - Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings - Fitting buildings into landscape - Configuration of building and grading of a site, which respects the topography - Removal /Preservation of trees and native vegetation - Adequate provision for snow storage on -site - Acceptability of building materials and colors - Acceptability of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms - Provision of landscape and drainage - Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory structures - Circulation and access to a site, including parking, and site distances - Location and design of satellite dishes - Provision of outdoor lighting 4 vrr V. ZONING ANALYSIS (VARIANCE REQUEST) This lot is non - conforming with regard to minimum lot size, site coverage and setback requirements. VI. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Factors: Upon review of Section 12 -17 -6 of the Vail Municipal Code, Criteria and Findings, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested variance based on the following factors: The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Adjacent uses /structures include the Golden Peak Ski Facility, Manor Vail Lodge and Pinos Del Norte /Northwoods. During past ski seasons, the Town's Police Department has witnessed problems with traffic flow along Vail Valley Drive and vehicles staging on adjacent properties during peak drop -off periods. Additionally, adjacent properties have expressed concerns about Ski Club Vail's affiliates utilizing private driveways for turnaround access. However, the Vail Police Department now states that Ski Club Vail's parking management strategies have alleviated these problems to a large extent with no incidents reported during the 1998/1999 ski season. It is highly recommended, however, that Ski Club Vail maintain a clear "horseshoe" drive aisle for turnaround purposes. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. 5 Zoning: Agriculture /Open Space Lot Size: 11,543 square feet (non- conforming) Use: Ski Base Recreation Standard Allowed /Required Existing Proposed Site Coverage: 572.65 sq. ft. (5 %) 3293 sq. ft. (28 %) no change Parking: PEC determined 4 spaces no change Setbacks: Front: 20' 20' no change W. Side: 15' 15' no change E. Side: 15' 15' no change Rear 15' 0' no change This lot is non - conforming with regard to minimum lot size, site coverage and setback requirements. VI. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Factors: Upon review of Section 12 -17 -6 of the Vail Municipal Code, Criteria and Findings, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested variance based on the following factors: The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Adjacent uses /structures include the Golden Peak Ski Facility, Manor Vail Lodge and Pinos Del Norte /Northwoods. During past ski seasons, the Town's Police Department has witnessed problems with traffic flow along Vail Valley Drive and vehicles staging on adjacent properties during peak drop -off periods.

It is highly recommended, however, that Ski Club Vail maintain a clear "horseshoe" drive aisle for turnaround purposes. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. 5 0 Under the Agricultural /Open Space zoning, Ski Club Vail operates on a non- conforming lot with a serious parking /loading deficiency. The portion of the Golden Peak lot to the south of Ski Club Vail - previously used as a construction staging area by Vail Associates - is required (by the Town of Vail) to be revegetated. Additionally, the bike path which has been used to access this area, was not designed to accommodate vehicular traffic and usage of this path has been problematic. Thus, utilization of this area for additional Ski Club parking is not feasible in the short term. Staff believes no other parking or drop -off locations are feasible on this property. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. As mentioned previously, the problems identified in the past with the use the Town right -of -way have been alleviated through Ski Club Vail's self - policing drop -off enforcement. The privately managed parking situation during the 1998/1999 season did not require any intervention from the Vail Police Department. However, if the PEC chooses to approve this request, staff recommends a condition that the variance may be revoked if any significant impacts to the above - referenced issues are identified. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. R • VII. WORKSESSION ISSUES At their October 25, 1999 meeting, the PEC discussed the merits of rezoning Ski Club Vail to either "General Use" or "Ski Base Recreation." An analysis of the development limitations under each zone district is listed below: Requirement Lot Area: Setbacks: Height: Site Coverage Landscaping: Parking: Ski Base Recreation 40 acres (min.) per approved dev. plan 35'(60 %) / 40'(40 %) per approved dev. plan per approved dev. plan per approved dev. plan General Use per approved dev. plan per approved dev. plan per approved dev. plan per approved dev. plan per approved dev. plan per approved dev. plan Intended uses within the Ski Base Recreation District include "ski school facilities" and "ski racing facilities." Although Ski Club Vail may be considered a "quasi- public facility" (similar to "General Use" properties), staff believes the operation of Ski Club Vail is more consistent with development objectives outlined in the "Ski Base Recreation" zone district. Staff believes the "General Use" designation would be more appropriate for public /institutional facilities such as libraries, hospitals and municipal offices. Although a designation of Ski Base Recreation would require a minimum lot size of 40 acres, incorporation of the Ski Club Vail facility into the development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base (through an encroachment agreement with Vail Associates) would allow a total lot area of 50.1 acres. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS / CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION Following is a preliminary description of criteria used for development plan evaluation within the Ski Base Recreation zone district: "Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood." Preliminary sketches indicate the following development statistics: Restriction Building Height Floor Area Site Coverage Setbacks Parking Spaces Allowed /Required 60% at 35'; 40% at 40' per PEC approval per PEC approval per PEC approval per PEC approval Proposed approx. 31' approx. 24,540 sf approx. 6,350 sf 38' front / 100'+ others 22 spaces (7 drop -off) The footprint for the new structure would be located approximately 25' to the south and 60' to the east of the existing structure. Staff believes the proposed bulk, mass, character and scale of the proposed structure is compatible and consistent with adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Given the somewhat limited shifting of the building configuration, staff believes impacts to private views from Manor Vail and rA 0 • Northwoods /Pinos del Norte toward the ski mountain would be minimal. At the next scheduled worksession for this item, the PEC will conduct a site visit in order to review the proposed footprint for the new structure. At their November 3rd pre- meeting, the Town's Design Review Board conducted a cursory, informal review of the plans and indicated Ski Club Vail "was headed in the right direction." Reduced copies of the proposed site plan, floor plans and building elevations are included in this memorandum. Other criteria relevant to PEC evaluation of development plans for properties within the Ski Base Recreation district include: "Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood; open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic; pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems are designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development; the development plan is in compliance with applicable comprehensive plan elements." Following is a summary of the key elements of the criteria listed above: Land Use Plan / Planning Obiectives (generally) — One of the goals outlined in the Vail Land Use Plan is the provision of facilities that market the Town of Vail as a destination skier resort. Staff believes this proposal furthers this objective by providing a state of the art facility for a club that is acknowledged as the premier ski racer training program in the nation. The plan also states the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and the business community should work together "to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently." Staff believes this proposal provides a feasible solution to the problems identified at this location since Ski Club Vail's beginnings in the 1970's. Although staff believes certain modifications are necessary, streetscape improvements and vehicular /pedestrian circulation amenities are identified on the plan as outlined in both the Vail Land Use Plan and the Streetscape Masterplan. Staff believes this proposal is generally in compliance with all of the Town's identified development objectives. Streetscape Masterplan Compliance The Town of Vail Streetscape Masterplan identifies the portion of Vail Valley Drive between Mill Creek Circle and the Ford Park Soccer Fields as the "East Village Sub - Area." The primary goal identified in the masterplan for this area is "to provide an effective and safe pedestrian system, while accommodating vehicle and bicycle traffic." The area surrounding the Golden Peak Ski Base has been identified as a "major vehicular and pedestrian destination." Specific elements of the Ski Club Vail redevelopment plan (and their compliance with Streetscape Masterplan elements) are addressed below: E-1 0 • Bicycle /Pedestrianization — Staff believes the portion of Vail Valley Drive abutting Ski Club Vail could provide a significant bicycle /pedestrian link between the ski area, hundreds of residential units and Ford Park. The streetscape masterplan identifies the need for an 8' -10' concrete unit paver sidewalk at this location. The plans submitted for Ski Club Vail show a 6' walk on Town right -of -way along the private property boundary. Staff believes a minimum of 8' of width needs to be provided at this location. The Town of Vail has roadway /streetscape improvements programmed for fiscal year 2002 at this location and will be willing to pay for a substantial portion of these upgrades. However, staff believes the PEC should address Ski Club Vail's responsibilities in this regard as part of this redevelopment proposal. Currently, the Town of Vail bike path runs to the south of Ski Club Vail and around the east side of the building with a terminus at Vail Valley Drive. The Streetscape Masterplan identifies this path as a heavily used route and a "bicycle /pedestrian access portal to Ford Park." It appears Ski Club Vail's redevelopment plan would disturb a portion of this existing path. However, reconstruction of this path is not indicated on the proposed site plan. Staff firmly believes the path should be reconstructed according to minimum acceptable AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) standards for multi -use paths. This would require a width of 10' (with 2' of lateral clearance on each side for safety) and a maximum grade of 8 %. Given the anticipated loading and drop -off activity within Ski Club Vail's internal drive aisle, staff believes the proposed 4' sidewalk (leading from the "drop -off" spaces to the entrance of the facility) is too narrow. Staff believes a 6' wide path would be more suitable for the amount of skier gear and traffic one might expect at that location. The Town of Vail has no plans for an additional sidewalk on the north side of Vail Valley Drive adjacent to Manor Vail. Landscaping —One of the problematic areas identified within the East Village Sub -Area is a lack of landscaped islands or berms between private parking areas and public areas /rights -of -way. The proposed site plan indicates the existing landscape island at Ski Club Vail will be extended significantly. Staff strongly supports this decision and recommends every attempt possible be made to preserve the integrity of the mature trees on site. Additional landscaping specifics will be addressed as part of the design review process. Bus Stop Location — The Streetscape Masterplan suggests the relocation of the existing bus stop adjacent to the Golden Peak Children's Ski School due to vehicular congestion problems. In 1995 (as part of the development planning process for the Golden Peak Ski Base), the Town conducted a number of meetings with Vail Associates and neighborhood representatives to identify potential locations for a new bus stop. It was determined at that time that the existing bus stop location was adequate. However, it has been observed that a bus stopped at this location may occasionally restrict ingress /egress at the Golden Peak parking lot entrance to the west of Ski Club Vail. As part of this redevelopment plan, Ski Club Vail is proposing a relocation of the existing bus stop to a point 30' to the east along Vail Valley Drive. Staff supports this relocation, provided it is funded privately. The Town of Vail has no plans to relocate this bus stop A i 0 as part of its Vail Valley Drive improvements. Parking /Loading /Delivery Plans indicate 8 interior entry -level long -term parking spaces and 7 exterior long -term parking spaces as part of the proposed redevelopment. Additionally, 7 parallel "skier drop -off" spaces are shown as part of a proposed 30' wide "horseshoe" drive aisle. Staff anticipates cars will stop /cue within the drive aisle when all 7 "skier drop -off" spaces are used during peak hours. However, staff believes a 30' drive aisle should be able to accommodate cars on each side with an estimated 12' interior clearance for vehicles exiting the property during "worst case scenarios." The 8 interior parking /loading bays are designed to accommodate Ski Club Vail's vans used for equipment and personnel transport. Pursuant to Section 12- 10 -13, Town of Vail Code, staff does not believe a commercial loading berth is necessary at this location given the nature of loading and delivery activity at Ski Club Vail. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) estimates a facility of this size and nature would generate a peak parking demand for 19 parking spaces. Staff believes the proposed 22 parking /drop -off spaces proposed are adequate to meet peak demands at Ski Club Vail. However, some minor "tweaking" of proposed parking areas will be needed to achieve compliance with the Town's development standards. Trash Facilities / Snow Removal /Management Preliminary sketches for the property show an industrial sized trash storage facility at the northeast end of the building. Staff believes the size of the trash storage facility and its location are adequate to serve Ski Club Vail's purposes. Design of the storage structure will be addressed during the Design Review process. Construction Schedule — At their October 25th meeting, the PEC inquired about Ski Club Vail's anticipated construction schedule. The organization anticipates demolition of the existing building beginning April 15th, 2000 and completion of the new structure by November 1, 2000. If the PEC would like a more detailed schedule from the applicant, it will be presented at the next worksession. IN SUMMARY Staff believes this proposal is a major improvement for Ski Club Vail overall and a step in the right direction. However, staff believes the following key issues should be addressed by the applicant prior to final development plan approval: ■ Reconstruction of the Town of Vail bike path connection to Vail Valley Drive. • Construction of a minimum 8' concrete unit paver walkway at the south end of Vail Valley Drive adjacent to Ski Club Vail and a 6' interior pedestrian walkway along the drive aisle, pursuant to the Town's Streetscape Masterplan. • Preservation of the mature vegetation at the existing landscape island during construction phases. ■ Discussions with adjacent property representatives to better address neighborhood concerns. These could be facilitated by Town staff. 10 A 46.: VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION As this is a request for a worksession, staff will not be forwarding a recommendation to the PEC at this time. Staff will forward a recommendation at the time of final review of the proposed rezoning, conditional use permit, and development plan approval requests. 11 Poi PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION PUBLIC MEETING SCHEDULE Monday, October 25, 1999 MEETING RESULTS Proiect Orientation / PEC LUNCH - Community Development Department MEMBERS PRESENT John Schofield Galen Aasland Diane Golden Brian Doyon Tom Weber Chas Bernhardt Doug Cahill Site Visits MEMBERS ABSENT 1.

MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: October 25, 1999 SUBJECT: A request for an extension of a previously - granted variance and a request for a worksession to discuss a redevelopment proposal involving a rezoning, conditional use permit revision and development plan approval for Ski Club Vail, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST This application involves two separate requests: 1) a request for an extension of a previously - granted variance to allow for temporary parking and loading within the front setback on an Agriculture /Open Space zoned lot. The proposal would allow Ski Club Vail to use a portion of the Town's right -of- way along Vail Valley Drive as a temporary (1999/2000 season) loading /unloading area. Approval of this request would allow for the addition of approximately nine temporary parking /loading spaces. 2) a request for a worksession to discuss a proposal involving a rezoning, conditional use permit revision and development plan approval for future redevelopment of Ski Club Vail. This proposal includes the expansion of the current Ski Club Vail structure with an encroachment onto Vail Associates property. In conjunction with the expansion, the property would be rezoned (to Ski Base Recreation) in accordance with the approved development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base. As of this time (10/21/99), staff has not received a plan submittal and will therefore not provide any comments or analysis of this proposal at this time. BACKGROUND On November 9, 1998, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved Ski Club Vail's previous request for a variance to allow for temporary parking /loading in the Town's right -of -way with the following conditions: * That the approval be limited to a period of one year between the dates of November 6th and May 10th and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6 :00 p.m. That the terms outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding dated January 6th, 1998, be fulfilled in their entirety. That an agreement be established between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail for the management (maintenance, signage, enforcement) of parking on this property. That Ski Club Vail submit a long -term parking /development plan for review no later than February 28, 1999. No future variance requests will be considered without the submittal of a long -term plan. That all signage required for maintenance and enforcement of the parking area be paid for by the applicant. That an ultimate solution for the use of the " turn around area" and road shoulder be arranged in the agreement between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail. That the Vail Town Council approve the use of the right -of -way for this purpose. * If, at any point during this approval period, the Town of Vail deems the parking /loading management situation inadequate, outstanding issues will be resolved by the "assessment committee " -a committee derived of representatives from the Town of Vail, Ski Club Vail and Vail Associates. The Town of Vail Police Department reports Ski Club Vail's managed parking solution worked very well last ski season. There were no incidents reported during last year's period of variance approval. Ski Club Vail is currently working with Vail Resorts and Town staff to formalize a development plan, which addresses all of the concerns vocalized during last year's discussions. This application is the first step in pursuing this long -term solution. In the meantime, however, Ski Club Vail has requested an extension of their variance request to allow for an identical managed parking situation this ski season. Following is a brief history of the development of Ski Club Vail: On August 26, 1976, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of Ski Club Vail. At that time, the PEC did not require any parking and stated "...we feel additional parking in this location is not appropriate." However, Ski Club served approximately 75 users in 1976; today the facility serves over 300. On March 24, 1986, the PEC granted a variance for the use of the front setback area /right -of- way as a loading and unloading zone for a one -year period. The approval was conditioned on Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop -off' zone. At that time, Ski Club Vail leased additional parking spaces from the Ramshorn Condominium Association. This lease agreement is no longer in effect. After the one -year PEC approval expired, additional approvals were not requested. In January of 1998, the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and Ski Club Vail drafted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) (Attachment "A" regarding parking, loading /unloading and vehicular access for Ski Club Vail and the Golden Peak ski facility. Under this MOU, the Town Manager agreed to discuss Ski Club Vail's parking situation with the Town Council. At their October 13, 1998 meeting, the Vail Town Council directed Ski Club Vail personnel to bring an application to 2 correct the parking and loading problems on site before the PEC for approval. After the PEC granted last year's variance request, the Vail Town Council voted to approve the applicant's use of Town right -of -way for temporary loading and unloading. Parking and Right -of -Way Management Issues: The Town has experienced problems in the past on this site with the expenditure of personnel hours for parking management. The applicant states the area will be monitored by Ski Club Vail staff /volunteers until 9:00 a.m. with Vail Associates managing the parking after 9:00 a.m. This is the same parking management strategy implemented last year and the Town believes this to be a feasible solution on a temporary basis. However, if the PEC grants an approval of this request, the usage of the Town's right -of -way, which is public property, will be available to the general public as well as Ski Club Vail affiliates. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request for an extension of a previously - granted variance from Section 12- 8A -11, Town of Vail Code, to allow for parking and loading within required setbacks, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. This recommendation of approval includes the following conditions: 1. That the approval be limited to a period of one year between the dates of November 6, 1999 and May 10, 2000 and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. 2. No future variance requests of this nature will be considered by the Town. 3. That the Vail Town Council approve the use of the right -of -way for this purpose. 4. If, at any point during this approval period, the Town of Vail recognizes significant safety or traffic circulation issues, this variance approval will be revoked. 5. The "horseshoe" drive aisle will remain clear for usage as a turnaround area. 3 IV. REVIEWING BOARD ROLES The PEC is responsible for evaluating a proposal for: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this Title without grant of special privilege. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for: - Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings - Fitting buildings into landscape - Configuration of building and grading of a site, which respects the topography - Removal /Preservation of trees and native vegetation - Adequate provision for snow storage on -site - Acceptability of building materials and colors - Acceptability of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms - Provision of landscape and drainage - Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory structures - Circulation and access to a site, including parking, and site distances - Location and design of satellite dishes - Provision of outdoor lighting lH V. ZONING ANALYSIS Zoning: Agriculture /Open Space Lot Size: 11,543 square feet (non- conforming) Use: Ski Base Recreation Standard Allowed /Required Existing Proposed Site Coverage: 572.65 sq. ft. (5 %) 3293 sq. ft. (28 %) no change Parking: PEC determined 4 spaces no change Setbacks: Front: 20' 20' no change W. Side: 15' 15' no change E. Side: 15' 15' no change Rear 15' 0' no change This lot is non - conforming with regard to minimum lot size, site coverage and setback requirements. VI. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Factors: Upon review of Section 12 -17 -6 of the Vail Municipal Code, Criteria and Findings, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested variance based on the following factors: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Adjacent uses /structures include the Golden Peak Ski Facility, Manor Vail Lodge and Pinos Del Norte /Northwoods. During past ski seasons, the Town's Police Department has witnessed problems with traffic flow along Vail Valley Drive and vehicles staging on adjacent properties during peak drop -off periods. Additionally, adjacent properties have expressed concerns about Ski Club Vail's affiliates utilizing private driveways for turnaround access. However, the Vail Police Department now states that Ski Club Vail's parking management strategies have alleviated these problems to a large extent with no incidents reported during the 1998/1999 ski season. It is highly recommended, however, that Ski Club Vail maintain a clear "horseshoe" drive aisle for turnaround purposes. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. 5 r Under the Agricultural /Open Space zoning, Ski Club Vail operates on a non- conforming lot with a serious parking /loading deficiency. The portion of the Golden Peak lot to the south of Ski Club Vail - previously used as a construction staging area by Vail Associates - is required (by the Town of Vail) to be revegetated. Additionally, the bike path which has been used to access this area, was not designed to accommodate vehicular traffic and usage of this path has been problematic. Thus, utilization of this area for additional Ski Club parking is not feasible in the short term. Staff believes no other parking or drop -off locations are feasible on this property. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. As mentioned previously, the problems identified in the past with the use the Town right -of -way have been alleviated through Ski Club Vail's self - policing drop -off enforcement. The privately managed parking situation during the 1998/1999 season did not require any intervention from the Vail Police Department. However, if the PEC chooses to approve this request, staff recommends a condition that the variance may be revoked if any significant impacts to the above - referenced issues are identified. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. 2 ✓ .rte �b ,,• � /r►\ o n p `a r .00,06 l o pop C __ goy _ — \�? �1U �rD1 �p � 6� O ��v�i• tC Ok 1 I y l D _Y3 ow d Llo o an y 1 J d i Y ci � 5I JAL -Rl 3 g G \ 1 c (D 0 ' o 4 'sue ko �� I �I v i I 0 ' o SKI CLUB E* SKI CLUB VAIL PROPOSED PARKING E Parents of Ski Club Vail athletes have a work deposit that they have an option to work off through volunteering their time.

Ski Club Vail will install "Loading Zone Only" signs in the proposed area. The signs will have an agreed upon time limit. If an unauthorized car is in the loading zone or unattended car is there past the time limit, the attendants will notify the Police Department. 598 Vail Valley Drive • Vail, Colorado 81657 • (970) 476 -5119 • (970) 476 -7287 (Fax) Fy f_• r ,/% l { ag. ye� °TAi. � 'e �'� ' y � l `V Vz ` .IV 04754 ;IV 4 r 1 l s r J �• t� L TOWN OF VAIL Department of Community Development 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970 - 479 -2138 FAX 970 - 479 -2452 March 4, 1999 TM Mr. Rocky Christopher Ski Club Vail Board of Trustees c/o Christopher Denton Kelton & Kendall Real Estate 225 Wall Street Vail, CO 81657 Re: Ski Chtb Vail — 5981:.

That an agreement be established between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail for the management (maintenance, signage, enforcement) of parking on this property. That Ski Club Vail submit a long -term parking/development plan for review no later than February 28, 1999. That all signage required for maintenance and enforcement of the parking area be paid for by the applicant. • That the "horse shoe turn around area" be maintained for turn around access with no parking. If, at any point during this approval period, the Town of Vail deems the parking/loading management situation inadequate, outstanding issues will be resolved by the "assessment committee" — a committee derived of representatives from the Town of Vail, Ski Club Vail and Vail Associates. %�� RECYCLED PAPER D To date, Ski Club Vail has not submitted a long -term parking /development plan as required by the Vail Town Council as a condition of approval.

A request for a conditional use 'permit, rear, side and front setback variances and a r aired arkin v2,A ance in order to construct an addition to the ki Club Vail buildAq located at 598 Vail Valle Drive Applicant: Ski Club Va.- Kristan Pritz explained the request and showed elevations, floor plans and site plans for the addition. Charlie Adams, co- director of Ski Club Vail, stated that the club was attempting to improve the quality as opposed to enlarging and that the enrollment would not increase, but the congestion would be decreased. Steve Boyd spoke from the audience in favor of the addition, saying that this would benefit the community, since 85% of the racers in Ski Club Vail were from Vail. Donovan stated that the parking problem was awful and felt that it would make more sense to not have any parking at all to facilitate the movement of cars through the drop -off area. Tom Briner, architect for the project, stated that they had looked at several ways to get 3 spaces elsewhere. One option would have resulted in a 12 foot retaining wall. Piper felt that since the width of the drop -off was 18 feet, it may work. Donovan suggested a one year approval to see whether or not the drop -off and parking would work. Donovan moved and Hopkins seconded to approve the request with the following rnnriitinnc- 1. The facility must remain a private ski club facility. Any changes to the club that would allow for public access to the facility would require another conditional use review. 2. Ski Club Vail agrees to sign and strictly enforce the loading zone and parking. 3. Ski Club Vail agrees to submit a revocable right -of -way permit for the encroachments onto Town of Vail property. 4. Ski Club Vail agrees to plow and maintain the turnaround so that auto access is maintained at all times. The snow will be hauled off the site by Ski Club Vail. Snow will not be dumped out into Vail Valley Drive. 5. Staff recommends that landscaping on the south side of the building be provided to soften this elevation. All landscaping should be designed with protection from snow storage. This is a detail that should be addressed at DRB 6. (This condition was added to those in the staff memo.) That there be a review after one year to see whether or not the parking and drop -off area needed to be changed. The vote was 5 in favor, none against with Viele and Briner abstaining pec 3/24/86 5
