Re: Awning Apptication dated Juty St, 2000
Dear Teak:
I have inspecled lhe new awning at the Mountain Adventure cenler. ll has been
constructed in accordance with the Town's Design Guidelines. Given the layout of the
fascia/railing along the first-story walls, it appeari a connection of the awning (beyond
the fascia) to the exterior wall would be impractical. Please consider this letier your
veriiication of final Town of Vail approval on the awning.
lf you would like to discuss this issue in greater detail, please do not hesitate to contact
me at (970) 479-2140. Best of luck during the upcoming season.
Sincerely,

Re: Sign/Awning Application dated July 51, 2000
Dear Teak:
At its August 16rh meeting lhe Town of Vail Design Review Board conceptually reviewed
the above-referenced application. The following is a synopsis of their comments:
' Additional information is needed to determine how lhe awning will be located with
regard to the window, the wood trim band above the window and the wall plane.
Please provide a detailed graphic for descriptive purposes. This could be a simple
dimensioned drawing and/or a photograph with sufficient detail to demonstrate
proposed locations.
' A more comprehensive view of the facades is encouraged. please examine the
existing finishes on the north and wesl facades to evaluate needed maintenance and
repairs. These include the exposed areas benealh the brick. the broken concrele
areas and the paint on the trimirailing. A revised window layout could prove more
functional or useful if re-considered.
. Wilt the existing exterior lighting remain? lf not, will the awning be lit? please
indicate any proposed lighting on the descriptive graphic.
This item is scheduled for final design review on wednesday, september 6th. please
provide the requesled items al least four (4) business days prior to this meeting date.
Associated applications for a menu display box or daiiy special sign can most hkely be
handled at the staff level. lf you would like to discuss this issue in Oetait, please do not
hesitate to conlact me at (970) 479-2140.

Re: Amended Vail Mountain Adventure Center Sign Approval
Dear Teak,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you ofthe Town's approvai ofthe amen<Ied sign application for the
Vail Mountain Adventue Center signs.
The amended approval eliminates the internally illuminated light source and creates a lighted, pan-channel
sign. It is my understanding that to accomplish the change, and to come into compliancJwith the lightingprwisions of the sign regulations, you will paint the backside of the sign faces to create an opaque iurfaie
with the exception of the area of the individual letters. In the case of the area of each of the individual
letters, the sign surface will remain translucent to allow the light to shine through in those locations.
Again, on behalf of the Community Development Department, thank you tbr cooperation and attention to
this-matter. We appreciate your wiliingness to work towards a mutuaily acccptable resolution in such a
professional mantrer.
Sincerely,

Re: Reconsideration of Previous Vail Mountain Adventure Center Sign Approval/Lot L, Block 5C, Vail
Village I't tr'iling
Dear Teak
I am sending -vou this letter to follow-up on our meeting of Thursday, December 23 regarding the three intemally
illuninated signs at the Vail Mountain Adventure Cemer.
I apreciate the fact that you have gone through the approval process, however. according to th€ Town of Vail Code,
internally illuminated signs are prohibited Unfortunately, the recently installed signs rnust be brought into complianccwth the requirements of the Code.
During our meeting we discussed several options that you might consider to bring the signs into compliance. Possible
options included converting the signs to pan-channeled signs wherelry the sign surface, with the exception of the
lettering is made oFque or removing the internal illumination and ligtrting the sigr with an indirect iglrt source. I am
happy to help you further explore these options and others if needed. 1 hare already attempted to contact a sig4
manufacturer to discuss rehofit options.
Additionally, I have scheduled a reconsideration of the originat sign application with rhe Desigr Review Board for
Wednesday, January 19, 2000. Thc purpcse of this meeting is to have the Board make a determination of the
application givcn the lcrowledge that the signs are to be internally illumhated- On behaif of the Community
Development DepartmenL I will be recommending that the Board approve a lighting proposal that meas thc Torn
Code.
Lastly, per our pnevious agreement, regardless of whether a resolution h;rs been reached- the signs can not be
illuminated after Jmuary 21, 2000. As you will recall, I allowed the signs to reurain as is for a tbirry*-day period
following written notice to you of ow detcrmination of non-comptyingkgns.
Upon receipt of this letter please conlact me so we can make arrange$ents to meet to discuss options for brineing the
signs into compliance wirh the Town Code. You can reach rne by tilephone at 479-2145 b€tween the hours of 8:00 a.rn.
and 5:00 p.rn, Mond.ay through Friday.

RT: VAIL MoUNTAIN ADVENTURE CENTER SIGN REVIEW _ CHRoNoLoGY oF EVENTS
I wanted to take this opportunity to review the Vail Mountain Adventure Center sign lrermit. These signs
werc reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board. Staff has reviewed the original application and
the application was accurate and complete. An important issue that was not directly discussed with the
applicant was how the sign would be lighted. The Sign Code allows for indirect lighting and for the letters
ofa sign to be backlighted or pan-channeled. However, the entire sign can not be illuminatecl. The
following is a chronology of the review process for this application.
October 19, 1959 Pre-appiication meeting held for both the Vail Mountain Adventure Center
(fomerly ihe Curtinl.Iill Building) and One Vail Place to discuss proposed
signage and sign code requirements. Attendees included Teak Simonton,
representing the Vail Mountain Adventure Center, and Town of Vail planners.
Sign application received by Community Development Depaftment (attached)
Sign application routed at planners' staif meeting and reviewed by project
planner. Applicant was asked to submit revised plans to conform with the sign
code (ie. the descriptive signage "High Performance Rentals" was considered
separate signage bringing the total number ofproposed signs to 6).* The Vail Mountain Adventure Center is legally allowed to have three signs-
only ttvo signs would normally be allowed on this property, however the Curtin-
Hill bttilcling received a sign variance in 1995 for one additional sign.
Applicant inlormed the project planner that she would bring revised plans to the
Design Review Board meeting. These could not be submitted earlier because
they were being prepared by a company located in Vancouver, Canada (Three
D imens ional Senices).
Design Review Board meeting:
Attended bv Teak Simonton, applicant/representative for Vail Mountain
Adventure Center
November 3, 1999
{P *""'"'u' 'o'ur
November 4, 1999
November 9, 1999
Sign application was reviewed and approved by Design Review Board (vote of
5-0) with conditions:
1. The sign proposed for the southwest corner ofthe building shall be lowered
and placed on the stucco wall.2. The size ofeach new sign shall be reviewed by staff
Design Review Action (Approval) Form was mailed to the applicant (attached)
Teak Simonton (applicant) brought revised plans to the Community
Development Department. These were reviewed according to the conditions set
forth by the DRB and found to comply with those conditions.
Final plans were not left in possession of the Community Development
Deoartment.
December 2i, 1999 Public Works notifies Planning staff of complaints regarding the lighting of the
Vail Mountain Adventure Center's signs. Staffrecognizes that the oversight
was made regarding the lighting of the signs. The signs are found to be non-
conforming with respect to Town of Vail code.
December 21, 1999 A lener is prepared notifuing the Vail Mountain Center that the oversight was
made and that staffwill allow a period of thirty days for the signage to be
brought into compliance (attached)
December 23, i999 Russell Fonest & George Ruther met with Teak Simonton and she indicated a
willingness to work with the Town to resolve the issue.
Staffwas in enor by not directly communicating how the Mountain Adventure signs could be illuminated
so as to meet the sign code. Regardless of this issue, the signs at the Adventure Center must come into
compliance. I have spoken with the manager ofthe Adventure Center and she has indicated a willingness
to work with the Town to bring the signs into compliance. Per our earlier agreement, the signs can noi
longer be intemally i.lluminated, as they are now, after Janumy, 2000.. Two solutions exist io bring the
signs into compliance:
l) The sigrs can be illuminated with indirect lighting2) The backs or inside ofthe existing signs can be painted so that only the letters are illuminated.

Re: Vail Mountain Adventure Center Signage
Dear Teak:
This letter is written in regard to the signage for the Vail Mountain Adventure Center
which was approved by the Design Review Board on November 4, 1999. It has come to
the attention of staffthat an oversight was made during the review of the sign appiicarion.
The original sign application described a sign with a translucent surhce and internai
illumination. With respect to lighting, the Town of Vail Code allows only for indirect or
pan-channeled lighting. With pan-channeled lighting, lettering may be illuminated but
the remainder of the sign surt-ace must be opaqu€. Signs may also receive lighting from
an indirect source.
Staff recognizes that the oversight was made and is not the fault ofthe appiicant.
However, according to the To.i'vn of Vail code, the signage must compiy with lig}ting
requirements. Under the circumstances, sta{f will allow a period of thirty-ciays for this
situation to be resolved. We hope that a suitable solution can be found and are available

lettering is made opeque or removing the internal illuminatioo and lighting the sign wth an indircct lighl source. I am
haptr to help you further explore these options and others if needed. I have already attemped to contact a sign
manuftcfurcr to discuss retrofit options.
Additionally, I have scheduled a reconsideration of the original sign application with the Design Review Board for
Wednesday, Ianuary 19, 2000. The purpose of this meeting is to have the Board make a detsrmination of the
application given the knowledge that the signs are to be internally illuminated. On behalf of the Community
Development Department, I will be recomrnending that the Board approve a figfrtlng proposal that meets the Tontr
Code.
Lastly, per our previous agreement, regardless of whether a resolution has been reache4 the signs can not be
iiluminsted after January 21, 2000. As you will recall, I allowed the signs to renuh as is for a thirtyday period
following nriten notice to you of our determination of non-compl,ving sigrs.
Upon receipt of this letter please coffact me so we can make araogements to meet to discuss options for bringing the
signs into compliance with the Tonn C-ode. You can reach me by telephone ar 479-2145 between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. ::

Re: Vail Mountain Adventure Center Sienase
Dear Teak:
This letter is written in regard to the signage for the Vail Mountain Adventure Center
which was approved bv the Design Review Board on November 4, 1999. It has come to
the attention of staff that an oversight r.','as made during the review of the sign application.
The original sign application described a sign with a translucent surface and internal
illumination. With respect tc lighting. the Town of Vail Code allows only for indirect or
pan-channeled lighting \,Vith pan-channeied lighting, leitering may be illuminated but
the remainder of the sign surface rnust be opaque. Signs may also receive lighting from
an indirect source.
Sta-ff recognizes ihat the oversight was made and is not the faulr of the anplicant
However. according to the Tov"n of Vail code, the signage must compiy with lighting
requirements. Under the circumstances, staff will allow a period of thirty-days for this
situation to be resolved We hope that a suitable solution can be found and are available
to address any further questions or concerns you may have.
Sincerelv.

Stucco, brick, wood (and 91 ass) are the
primary building materia'l s found in the
Vi'l'lage. Hhi'le not wishing to restrict
deslgn freedom over-much, existing
conditions show that within this sma] 'l
r.ange of materials*uch variation and
individuality are possib'l e while pre-
serving a basic haroony, Too many
diverse nnterials weaken the continuity
and repetition r+hich unifies the street-
scape.
0f the above nnteria'l s, stucco is the
most consistentlY used materja'l .
Most of the bujldings in the viilage
exhjbit some stucco, and there are
virtua'l 1y no areas where stucco is
entirely absent. It is intended to
preserve the domjnance of stucco-by
its use in portions, at least, of al'l
new facades, and by assuring that other
rateri a] s are not used to the exc'l usion
of stucco in any sub-area within the
Vi'l I age.

There is greater'l at'i tude in the use of
co'lor in it'e Village, but sti'l'l a

behalf of Curtin Hill Sports.
For me, the meeting was most informative because the Review Board does not have a clear
picture of esthetics for Vail Village. After my explanation of the "Vail Village Design
Consideration Guideline," my interpretation, the members looked at a total picture ralher
than one spot or situation.
I suggest you and the staff go back over the Guidelines and give the Design Review Board
some positive exciting direction. If you do not I fear Vail Village will continue to be
colorless, dull and tired looking.
Again I appreciate your efforts on my behalf.

A reqrrcst for modification to conditions of approval of a previously
granted sip variance for Curtin Hill Sports located at 254 Bridge
Street{Lot l, Block 5C, Vail Village lst Filing.
Applicant Jack CurtinPlarmec Randy Stouder
I. BACKGROT}ND
On April 6,1994, Curtin Hill Sports approached the Design Review Board (DRB) and requested
approval ofa sign variance to allow for a third business identification sign, to be located on an
existing auming at the westem entrance to the Curtin Hill Sports Building (see attached copy of
staffreport to DRB). At their April 6, 1994 meeting the DRB decided to recommend that the
Council aPprove the Curtin Hill Sports request for a third business identification sign with the
following mnditions:
1. If the applicant wishes to erect a building identification sip iu the future, then one
of the three business identification sigrrs dsseri6ed in the staffmemo regarding the
sip. v.ariance request must be removed, The sign to be removed shall be on the
same frontage as is chosen for the new building identification siga.
2. The applicant must bring all other sips on the prope,rty into compliauce, i.e. the
window sieFs must conforrr to the appropriate section of the Sip Code. It was
determiaed at the DRB hearing that the appropriate number of window signs is six
and that the current logo signs are acceptable under the Sip Code. Thus, please
reduce the nrlnber of window sips to six.
3. Previous conditions of approval must be complied with prior to the DRB
forwardiug their recommendation for approval of the sip variance to the Town
Council. Their were two previous conditions of approval which are as follows:
z. The cut in the brick ou the chimney on the west elevation must be rqlaired,
so it is no longer appareut tlat there was structure attached to the building
at this location
b. Thc scmsd floc balcony rail on the west elcvatisn of the building must be
rcpaire4 even though an awning cunreatly covers the darnaged section.
The DRB recmmendatioa for approval rcquired that the applicant comply with conditions 2 and
3 above prior to final Town Council action on the variancc requesl Thus, staffnevcr scheduled
this itesr forrwicwby Cormcil.
IL DESCRIPTION OFTHT REOI]EST
The applicant wishes to amend the DRB conditions of approval. Condition 3b above has beea
satisfied; the railing has becn repaired rmderneath the existing awning However, the sut in the
ldsk shimney (condition 3a) cn the west clcvation still remains and the applicant feels that thc
extent aad cost of the work necessary to complete the repair of rhis section of chimney is
excessive. Thus, the appticant requests thet the DIIB waive condition 3e and forwerd their
recommendation for approval of the sign varience request to the Town Council at this dme"
III. STAT'F'RECOMMENDATION
Since Condition 3a was a specific condition iryoscd by the DRB, staffwill not render a
reccnnmendation on this issue. If the DRB feels that mndition 3a is still reasonable and
applicable' then staffwould recommmd that the DRB forward a recomme,ndation for denial of
the requested sip variance to Cor:ncil at this time. The applicant has stated that he simply cannot
comply with condition 3a and is willing to go to the Towa Council with a denial recommendation
from the DRB.

Dear Members,
t amJg!9yi1g up to last years variance approval for Curtin Hill Sports signage, as of
April 1994. I reatize this was quite some time ago, but as many trrings are, it was put on
t}.t" 'g*T9._ project lisr'. Ttre last lefter we have from the Design Review Board (DRB)
dated April 13, 1994, stated the sign variance would be approveii with certain stipulations,
and two of them were:
i.' fn" cut in the brick on the chimney west elevation must be repared so
that it is no longer apparent that there was a structure attached at ihis
location.
b. The second floor balcony rail on the west elevation of the building must
be repaired, even though anawning cunently covers the damaged seition.
we have come into compliance wih all the other stipulations except the above noted
conditions. The reason we have not complied is nvb-foto. rirsq we are simply a tenant
here. Second, it would take a great deal df money to fix the above mentioneil items.
Money we simply do not have and the landlord will not provide.
Sj1c9 we cannot comply with the above mentioned items, we are asking the DRB to
eliminate those conditions of approval. we are asking that our sign vaiance be approvedwithout further delay. Thank you for your consideralion.

A sign variance request for Curtin Hill Sports located at 254 Bridge
Streeylot 1, Block 5-G, Vail Village 1st Filing.
Applicant:
Planner:
Jack Gurtin and Teak Simonett
Randy Stouder
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant currently has two business identification signs located at the northwest and
northeast corner entrances to the buiEing. At the northwest corner, the applicant has a sign
with the words "Curtin Hill Sports and Ski Rentals" on an awning. This sign is classified as a
projecling sign and is 3.5 square feet in size. The sign at the northeast corner of the building
is mounted on a second story deck railing and is classified as a wall-mounted sign. This sign
is 10 square feet in size with the same wording as the awning sign.
Section 16.20.010 of the Town of Vail Sign Code slates that:
"An individual business within a multi-tenant building may be permitted the following
signs: . . . proiecting and hanging signs or wall rnounted signs or any- combination thereot, not to exceed a maximum number or size of sign as
designated by any one category - . . ',
Section 16'20.090 and 16.20.190 of the Town of Vail Sign Code state respectivety that:
"Projecting or hanging signs-lndividual business within a mulli-tenant building:
D. Number, one sign per vehicular street or major pedestrian way which the
business abuts, as determined by the adminisfator with a maximum of two
signs, subject to review by the Design Review Board.,'; and
"Wall signs-lndividual business within a multi-tenant building:
D. Number, one sign per vehicular street or major pedestrian way which the
business abuls, as determined by the administrator with a maxirnum of two
signs, subject to review by the Design Review Board..,
The maximum number of signs designated in both the wall sign section and the projecting
sign section is two. Thus, the applicant is allowed a maximum of two signs for business -
identification purposes. As described above, the applicant currently has two business
identilication signs; a wall mounled sign and a projecting sign. The applicant is requesting a
variance from the section ot the sign code cited above, to allow for a third business
identification slgn to be located on the existing awning at the western entrance to the
building (across from thE Vail Mountain Ticket Oftice). The proposed.sign would be 5
square feet in size and is considered to be a projecting sign. The sign would contain the
words "Gurtin Hill Sports
II. BACKGROUND
On January 6, 1993, the Design Review Board (DRB) recommended that the Town Council
approve a sign variance to allow curtin Hill sports to exhibit three signs of up to 20 square
feet. At the tims of the DRB meeting, it appears that Curtin Hilf Sports had at least four
exterior signs and up to fwenty window signs. The applicant was requesting the variance to
allow for four signs to remain. staff supported only three of the exterior signs and
recommended that the window signs be reduced lo eight in number, which r,iould be th€
allowed number of window signs (two per frontage). The DRB had no preferences to which of
the exterior signs needed to be eliminated but stated that one of them must be removed and
the window signs be reduced to eight in number. The variance request was presenled at the
next Town council meeting, and the Town council supported the staff and the DRB
recommendation to allow only three exterior signs and eight window signs at the property.
They had no preference as to which sign needed to be removed and left that up to the
applicant. The applicant stated that he wished to retain a free-standing sign, a hanging sign
and an awning sign.
Since the Town Council approval of the variance in January of 1993, the applicant has made
several changes to the signage of the property. The applicant has changed the types, sizes
and localions of the business identification signs. The applicant now proposes two projecting
signs and a wall mounted sign instead ol a projecting, a hanging and a frEe slanding sign as
previously approved. Since sign variances are granted based on the specific nature of each
proposal, a new sign variance is required.
| 1t.FINDINGS AND CRITEFIA FOR APPFOVAL
Before the Board acts on a variance application, the applicant must prove physical hardship
and the Board must find that.
A. There are soecial circumstances or conditions apolvino to the land. buildinos.
tooooraohv. veqetaiion, sion structures or other matters on adiacenl lots or
within the adiacent rioht-of-wav which would substantiallv restrict the
effectiveness of the sion in auestiont provided. however. that such sDecial
circumstances or conditions are unioue to the oarticular business or enterorise
to which the aoolicant desires to draw attention and do not apolv oenerallv to all
businesses or enterDrises.
Statf Resoonse;
Currently, the building has entrances on all four sides, however, Curtin Hill Sports can
be entered only from the west, north and east sides. The fourth frontage has an
entrance to the building, but the enlrance is accessed by descending down a flight of
stairs into the basement level of the building where Vail Ski and Boot Repair is located.
Staff believes that special circumstances applying lo the Curtain Hitl Sports restrict the
effectiveness of only two signs for business identification purposes. Specifically, the
" business has three pedestrian frontages (the north, west and east) as well as limited
frontage towards the mountain on the south. Therefore, statf feels that a maximum
number of two signs specified in the Sign Code is not appropriate for the identification
of the building, and that a third sign should be allowed.
B. That special circumstances were not created bv the apolicant or anvone in privv
to the apolicant.
Staff Resoonse:
It is somewhat unusual that a single business would have three frontages as does
Curtain Hill Sports. Since Curtin Hill Sports occupies the entire ground floor of the
building, the business also has three to four frontages depending whether the ski slope
side is considered as a lrontage. Staff feels that this section of the Variance Criteria
pertains to circumstances olher than that being considered here. The applicant did not
deliberately create unusual circumstances that would allow additional signage.
C. That the oranlino of the variance will be in qeneral harmonv with the ourrrose of
this title and will not be materiallv detrimental to the oersons residino or workino
in the vicinitv. to adiacent oroperfu. to the neiohborhood. or to the public welfare
in oeneral.
Staff Resoonse:
Stafi feels that the request for three signs is reasonable and is in harmony wilh the
general purpose of the sign code. staff does not believe this will be materially
detrimental to other persons or businesses residing and conducling business in the
vicinity.
D. The variance aoolied for does not deoart from lhe orovisions of this title anv
more than is reouired lo identifu the aoolicant's business or use.
Staff Resoonse:
As discussed in section I of this memorandum, lhe proposed sign and the two current
signs will meet all other provisions of the Sign Code other than the maximum number
allowed.

IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Slaff is.recommending ipproval df the requested sign variance to allow for a third sign to be
located on the awning at the rryestern entrance to the building. Slaff has reviewed lhe size,
location, lighting, andother charactedstics of lhe sign and RnAs nat the proposed signage is
in harmony with the regulations contained in the Sign Code. However, staff recommends lhat
the following conditions be addressed prior lo uncovering the awning sign at the west sids
entrance:
1. ll the applicant wishes to erect a building identification sign in the future, lhen ons
of the three business identification signs described in this memo must be removed..
The sign lo be removed shall be on the sarne frontage as is chosen for the building
identification sign.
AI2. tThe applicant must bring all other signage on the property into compliance, i.e. lhe
rvindol signs must conform to the appropriate section of the Sign Code..-)
t*!/Since the applicant leases building space in the Hill Building to Vail Ski and Boot
Repair, lhis business's signage must also be brought into conformance with the sign
Code.

A sign variance request for Curtin Hill Sports localed at 254 Bridge
StreeVLot 1, Block 5-C, Vail Village 1st Filing.
Applicant:
Planner:
Jack Curtin and Teak Simonett
Randy Stouder
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant currently has two business identification signs located at the northwest and
northeast corner entrances to the building. At the northwest corner, the applicant has a sign
with the words "Curtin Hill Sports and Ski Rentals" on an awning. This sign is classified as a
projecting sign and is 3.5 square feet in size. The sign at the northeast corner o{ the building
is mounted on a second story deck railing and is classified as a wall-mounted sign. This sign
is 10 square feet in size with the same wording as the awning sign.
Section 16.20.010 of the Town of Vail Sign Code states that:
"An individual business within a multitenant building may be permitted the following
signs: . . . proiecting and hanging signs or wall mounted signs or any
combination thereof, not to exceed a maximum number or size ot sign as
designated by any one category . . . "
Section 16.20.090 and 16.20.190 of the Town of Vail Sign Code state respectively that:
"Projecting or hanging signs-lndividual business within a multitenant building:
D. Number, one sign per vehicular street or major pedestrian way which the
business abuts, as determined by the administrator with a maximum of two
signs, subject to review by the Design Review Board."; and
"Wall signs-lndividual business within a multi-tenant building:
D. Number, one sign per vehicular street or major pedestrian way which the
business abuts, as determined by the administrator with a maximum of two
signs, subject to review by the Design Review Board."
The maximum number of signs designated in both the wall sign section and the projecting
sign section is two. Thus, the applicant is allowed a maximum of two signs for business
identification purposes. As described above, the applicant currently has two business
identification signs; a wall mounted sign and a projecting sign. The applicant is requesting a
variance lrom the section of the sign code cited above, to allow for a third business
identitication sign to be located on the existing awning at the western entrance to the
building (across from the Vail Mountain Ticket Office). The proposed sign would be 5
square feet in size and is considered to be a projecting sign. The sign would conlain lhe
words "Curtin Hill Sports".
II. BACKGROUND
On January 6, 1993, the Design Review Board (DRB) recommended that the Town Council
approve a sign variance to allow Curtin Hill Sports to exhibit three signs ol up to 20 square
feet. At the time of the DRB meeting, it appears that Curtin Hill Sports had at least four
exterior signs and up to twenty window signs. The applicant was requesting the variance to
allow for four signs to remain. Staff supported only three ol the exterior signs and
recommended that the window signs be reduced to eight in number, which would be the
allowed number of window signs (two per lrontage). The DRB had no preferences to which of
the exterior signs needed to be eliminated but stated that one of them must be removed and
the window signs be reduced to eight in number. The variance request was presented at the
next Town Council meeting, and the Town Council supported the staff and the DRB
recommendation to allow only three exlerior signs and eight window signs at the property.
They had no preference as to which sign needed to be removed and left that up to the
applicant. The applicant stated that he wished to retain a free-standing sign, a hanging sign
and an awning sign.
Since the Town Council approval of the variance in January of 1993, the applicant has made
several changes to the signage of the property. The applicant has changed the types, sizes
and locations of the business identification signs. The applicant now proposes two projecting
signs and a wall mounted sign instead ol a projecting, a hanging and a {ree standing sign as
previously approved. Since sign variances are granted based on the specific nature of each
proposal, a new sign variance is required.
III. FINDINGS AND CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
Before the Board acts on a variance application, the applicant must prove physical hardship
and the Board must find that,
A. There are special circumstances or conditions applvinq to the land. buildinqs.
tooooraphv. veqetation, siqn structures or other matters on adiacent lots or
within the adiacent riqht-of-wav which would substantiallv restrict the
effectiveness of the siqn in question; provided, however, thal such special
circumstances or conditions are unique to the particular business or enterprise
to which the applicant desires to draw attention and do not applv oenerallv to all
businesses or enterprises.
Staff Response:
Currently, the building has entrances on all four sides, however, Curtin Hill Sports can
be entered only from the west, north and east sides. The fourth frontage has an
entrance to the building, but the entrance is accessed by descending down a flight of
stairs into the basement level of the building where Vail Ski and Boot Repair is located.
Staff believes that special circumstances applying to the Curtain Hill Sports restrict the
eflectiveness of only two signs for business identification purposes. Specifically, the
business has three pedestrian frontages (the north, west and east) as well as limited
frontage towards the mountain on the south. Therefore, staff feels that a maximum
number of two signs specified in the Sign Code is not appropriate for the identification
of the building, and that a third sign should be allowed.
B. That special circumstances were not created bv the applicant or anyone in privy
to the applicant.
Staff Response:
It is somewhat unusual that a single business would have three frontages as does
Curtain Hill Sports. Since Curtin Hill Sports occupies the entire ground floor of the
building, the business also has three to four frontages depending whether the ski slope
side is considered as a frontage. Staff leels that this section of the Variance Criteria
pertains to circumstances other than that being considered here. The applicant did not
delibgrately create unusual circumstances that would allow additional signage.
C. That the qrantino of the variance will be in qeneral harmonv with the purpose of
this title and will not be materially detrimental to the persons residinq or workino
in the vicinitv, to adiacent property. to the neiqhborhood, or to the public welfare
in qeneral.
Staff Resoonse:
Staff feels that the request for three signs is reasonable and is in harmony with the
general purpose ot the Sign Code. Statf does not believe this will be materially
detrimental to other persons or businesses residing and conducting business in the
vicinity.
D. The variance aoolied for does not depart from the provisions of this title anv
more than is required to identifv the applicant's business or use.
Staff Resoonse:
As discussed in Section I of this memorandum, the proposed sign and the two current
signs will meet all other provisions of the Sign Code other than the maximum number
allowed.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the requested sign variance to allow for a third sign to belocated on the awning at the western entrance to ffr6 buitoing. staff has reviewed th5 size,location, lighting, and other characteristics of the sign and tiiOs tnat the proposed signage isin harmony with the regulations contained in the Sign Code. However, staff recommends thatthe following conditions be addressed prior to uncoiering the awning sign at the west sideentrance:
1' lf the applicant wishes to erect a building identification sign in the future, then one
of the three business identification signs described in this memo must be removed.
The sign to be removed shall be on the same frontage as is chosen for the buildingidentification sign.
2- The applicant must bring all other signage on the property into compliance, i.e. thewindow signs must conform to the appropriate section oitne-sign code.

A sign variance rcquest for Curtin-Hill Sports located at 254 Bridge
Street. I-ot I, Block 5-A, Vail Village Fint Filing.
Applicant: Jack Curtin and Teak Simonen
REVISIONS FROM PREVIOUS MEMORANDU}I ARE hIDICATED IN BOLD TYPE
DESCRIPTION OF THE REOUEST
Curtin-Hill Sports Ltd. (formerly Vail Ski Rentals) is requesting a sign variance for
the total sign area and the number of signs allowed. The sections of rhe Municipal
Code which relate to the variance request are listed below:
Secdon 16.20.210 - Single Business Use
B. Size, one square foot for each five front lineal feet of the building, with
a maximum area of 20 souare feet. Combined maximum for more than
one sign shall not exceed twenty square feet;D. Number, one sign per vehicular street or major pedestrian way which
the business abuts, with a maximum of two per busincss, as determined
by the administrator, subject to review by rhe Design Review Board.
Curtin-Hill Spons, as a single business, is allowed up ro two signs wirh a maximum
combined sign area of 20 square feet. The developmenr's existing signs consist of:
Two awnings with the "Curtin-Hill Sports Ltd." lettering, equaling l0 squarc
feet (5 sq. ft. each).
The variance rcquest includes:
Two new signs in addition to the two signs existing on the awnings. One of the
proposed signs is to be a free-standing sign of 5.75 square feet, located near
the nonheast corner of the building, facing Bridge Strcer The second sign is
proposcd to bc a hanging sign of 6.5 square feet, located on the northwest
corner of the building. Therefore, the variance request is for two additional
II.
signs 4g! 2.25 square feet of additional sign area above 20 sq. ft.
Please also note that a$ of December 3I, t992, the applicant had already
erected the two additional signs (hanging and free-standing) for which a
variance is being sought.
BACKGROUND
On October 14, L982, Vail Ski Rentals presented the DRB with a sign variance request
for a window sign excecding the 1.5 square feet allowed by code at the time (Section
16.20.220). The proposed sign was to be approximately 3 squarc feet in size. Also
on this date, the applicant requested the DRB to approve rwo new "Vail Ski Rental"
hanging signs to replace the existing signs; these signs met the code rcquiremcnt and
were not pan of the variancc request.
In response, the DRB approved the two hanging signs but denied the variance rcquesr
for additional window sign area; 1.5 square feet was approved for the window sign on
the new door. As a condition of approval, the DRB required that the two existing
signs be removed when replaced with the new signs.
The Community Development Department has no record of any approvals for the two
exisdng arvning signs. The appiicant-rnaintains that these signs were approved in 1976
or 1977-
FINDINCS AND STAFF RESPONSES
Before the Board acts on a variance application, *re applicant must prove ohvsical
hardshin and the Board must find rhat:
A. There are special circumstances or conditions applvins to the land. buildinss.
toDographv. vegetation. sign structures or other matters on adiacent lots or
within the,adiacent rieht-of-wav which would substantiallv restrict the
effectiveness of the sign in ouestion; provided. however. that such special
to which the applicant desires to draw attention and do not aoolv generallv to
all businesses or enterprises.
Staff Response:
The staff believes that qpecial circumstances applyrng to the Hill Building
restrict the effectiveness of the existing nvo allowable signs. Specifically, the
Hill Building has three pedestrian frontages (north, west, and east) as well as
limited frontage toward the mountain on the sbuth. Therefore, the staff
supports g additional sign for the building. The staff feels that a fourth sign
nI.
t
B.
c.
would be excessive and therefore cannot support the request. Since the staff
does not support the fourth sign, we are also recommending denial of the
request for sign area exceeding a total of 20 square feet. ft should be noted
that each of the four window frontages could have up to t\yo window signs
per section L6.20.220 of the Municipal Code. (This is discussed in further
detail in Part fV - Staff Recommendation section of this memorandum.)
the aoolicant.
Staff Responsc:
The staff does not believe that special circumstances were created by the
applicant.
of this title and wiil not be materiallv detrimental to the persons residine or
working in rhe vicinitv. to adiacent prooenv. to rhe neighborhood. or to the
rublic welfare in eeneral.
Staff Resoonse:
Since the Hill Building has three pedesrian frontages plus limited frontage
toward the ski mountain, the staff feels that one additional sign would be in
harmony wirh the purpose of this title, and would be consistent with other signs
approved for projects of this nature. However, the sraff feels that a fourth sign
and additional square footage above 20 sq. ft. would be excessive and not in
harmony with the purpos€ of rhis title.
more than is reouiied to identifv the applicant's business or use.
Staff Response:
As discusscd above, the staff believes that the three pedestrian fiontages and
ski mountain frontage warrant one additional sien, and rhat the founh sign and
additional square footage above 20 sq. ft. would bc more than required to
identify rhe business.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
As discussed in part IrI of this memorandum, the staff does not support the sign
variance request as proposed. However, the staff does support one ioaitionat sign ana
bclieves that criteria Itr A,B,c, and D above have been met for tttJ on" sien. staff
D.
ry.
,
can also support three signs having a total area of 20 square feet (maximum)
versus the proposed 16.5 or 15.75 square feet associated with four signs. In
addition, two building identification signs are allowed having an area not to
exceed 20 square feet (i.e. "Hill Building").
It should bc noted that the "window sign" section of the Sign Code (16.20.220) now
allows for gyg window signs per window frontage of the building rvith a coverage of
up to 15 percent of the total window space (10 square feet maximum). Since the Hill
Building has window frontage on four sides of the building, eight window signs are
allowed by code (2 per frontage). Presently, 20 window signs exist as well as two
additional non-approved signs on the south side of the building.

for a window sign exceeding the 1,5 square feet allowed by code at the time (Section
16.20.220). The proposed sign was to be approximately 3 square feet in size. AIso
on this date, the applicant requested the DRB to approve two new "Vail Ski Rental"
hanging signs to replace the existing signs; these signs met the code requirement and
were not part of the variance requsst.
In response, the DRB approved the two hanging signs but denied the variance request
for additional window sign area; 1.5 square feet was approved for the window sign on
the new door. As a condition of approval, the DRB required that the two existing
signs be removed when replaced with the new signs.
The Community Development Department has no record of any approvals for the two
existing awning signs. The applicant maintains that these signs were approved in 1976
or 1977.
FINDINGS AND STAFF RESPONSES
Before the Board acts on a variance application, the applicant must prove phvsical
hardship and the Board must find that:
A. There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land. buildings.
topography. vegetation. sign structures or other matters on adiacent lots or
within the adiacent right-of-wav which would substantiallv restrict the
effectiveness of the siqn in question: provided, however. that such special
circumstances or conditions are unique to the particular business or entemrise
to which the applicant desires to draw attention and do not applv generallv to
all businesses or enternrises.
Staff Response:
The staff believes that special circumstances applying to the Hill Building
restrict the effectiveness of the existing two gll@. signs. Specifrcally, the
Hill Building has three pedestrian frontages (north, west, and east) as well as
limited frontage toward the mountain on the south. Therefore, the staff
supports one additional sign for the building. The staff feels that a fourth sign
ry.
would be excessive and therefore cannot support the request. Since the staff
does not support the fourth sign, we are also recommending denial of the
request for sign area exceeding a total of 20 square feet. It should be noted
that each of the four window frontages could have up to two window signs
per section 16.20.220 of the Municipal Code. (This is discussed in further
detail in Part IV - Staff Recommendation section of this memorandum.)
B. That special circumstances were not created bv the applicant or anvone Drivy to
the applicant.
Staff Response:
The staff does not believe that soecial circumstances were created bv the
applicant.
C. That the granting of the variance will be in general harmonv with the purpose
of this title and will not be materially detrimental to the persons residing or
working in the vicinitv. to adiacent property. to the neighborhood. or to the
public welfare in general.
Staff Resuonse:
Since the Hill Building has three pedestrian frontages plus limited frontage
toward the ski mountain, the staff feels that one additional sign would be in
harmony with the purpose of this title, and would be consistent with other signs
approved for projects of this nature. However, the staff feels that a fourth sign
and additional square footage above 20 sq. ft. would be excessive and not in
harmony with the purpose of this title.
D. The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of this title anv
more than is required to identifv the applicant's business or use.
Staff Response:
As discussed above, the staff believes that the three pedestrian frontages and
ski mountain frontage warrant one additional sign, and that the fourth sign and
additional square footage above 20 sq. ft. would be more than required to
identify the business.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
As discussed in par:t III of this memorandum, the staff does not support the sign
vanance request as proposed. However, the staff does support one additional sign and
believes that criteria III A,B,C, arl! Q above have been met for the one sign. Staff

can also support three signs having a total area of 20 square feet (maximum)
versus the proposed 16.5 or 15.75 square feet associated with four signs. In
addition, two building identification signs are allowed having an area not to
exceed 20 square feet (i.e. "Hill Building").
It should be noted that the "window sign" section of the Sign Code (16.20.220) now
allows for two window signs per window frontage of the building with a coverage of
up to 15 percent of the total window space (10 square feet maximum). Since the Hill
Building has window frontage on four sides of the building, eight window signs are
allowed by code (2 per frontage). Presently, 20 window signs exist as well as two
additional non-approved signs on the south side of the building.
