A request for a Major CCI Exterior Alteration and a site coverage variance, to
allow for a remodel and expansion to the Slifer Building, located at 230 Bridge
StreeULot B, VailVillage 1st Filing.
Applicant: Slifer Designs, represented by Jim BucknerPlanner: George Rulher
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REOUEST
The applicant, Slifer Designs, represented by Jim Buckner, is requesting a Major CC1 Exterior
Alteraiion and a site coverage variance, to allow for a remodel and expansion to the Slifer
Building, localed at 230 Bridge Street. The applicant is proposing to add approximately 16Q_sq.
ft. of new retail floor area lo lhe lower level of the existing building, to remove a total of g sq. ft. of
real estate office floor area from lhe main level (Bridge Street) of the building, and to add 135_sq.
ft. of new office floor area to the upper level of ihe building. The proposed additions increase the
fotal site coverage by 103 sq. ft. for a total of 3,129 sq. ft (97.'l%). There shall be no net , , ,
increase in real estate office square footage on the main level (1st floor) of the building. y) pr i I | >
The major exlerior alleration is intended to improve the Bridge Street facade and to improve the
cuslomer access into the building. Customer access will be improved by eliminating the exlerior
stairs and providing an at-grade entrance to the building. The existing exlerior stairs will be
intemalized into the building. The applicant believes the proposed major exterior alteration will
significantly improve the building facade and the Bridge Street streetscape, as 12.5 sq. ft. of
additional landscaping is to be added along the west side of the building. To further improve the
appearance of the building, the applicant is proposing to replace the existing horizonlal wood
siding with stone veneer, stucco, rough sawn wooden beams and braces, and a 5112 sloping
roof.
The Slifer Building is located in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District. According to Section
12-TB-15 of the Municipal Gode, the maximum allowable site coverage is 80%. The existing
building's site coverage is 93.9%. According to the applicant's proposal, site coverage
would increase to 97.1%. Therefore, in order to allow for the construction of the additional
103 sq. ft. of site coverage, a site coverage variance of 3.2o/o needs to be approved by the
Planning and Environmental Commission.

According to Section 12-78-7, Exterior Alterations or Modifications, of the Municipal Code,
"the construclion of a new building, the alteration of an existing building which adds or
removes any enclosed floor area, the alteration of any existing building which modifies
exterior roof lines, the replacement of an existing building, the addition of a new outdoor
dining deck or modification of an existing outdoor dining deck, shall be subject to review
by the Planning and Environmenlal Commission."
According to the applicant's proposal, the applicant will be altering an existing building by adding
and removing enclosed floor area and modifying the exterior roof lines. Therefore, in order to
allow for the proposed alterations, a major exterior alteration must be approved by the Planning
and Environmenlal Commission.
A copy of the plans have been attached for reference.
II. BACKGROUND
On February 24, 1992, ihe Planning and Environmenlal Commission approved a major exlerior
alteration and a site coverage variance requesl for the Slifer Building. The 1992 proposal added
approximately 57 sq. fl. of site coverage to the Slifer Building, in order to allow for the
construction of approximately 53 sq. ft. of additional first floor retail area, and 548 sq. ft. of new
office space on the second floor of the building, above the retail space. The 1992 site coverage
variance approval allowed the applicanl lo increase the existing site coverage by 1.8%, from
92.1o/o lo 93.9ol0. The Planning Commission approved the applicant's siie coverage variance
request, finding that the proposal was in compliance with the Variance Criteria and Findings
prescribed in the Municipal Code. The PEC also found that the strict literal interpretation or
enforcemenl of the site coverage regulation would result in a practical difficulty, as the site
coverege regulation is inconsistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the Vail Village
Master Plan and Urban Design Considerations.
On March 4, 1998, the applicant's representalive met with the Design Review Board for a
conceptual review of the proposed major exterior alteration. The Design Review Board identified
the following design issues, which they believed the applicant needed to reflect on the final plans:
1. Avoid a straight line plane along Bridge Street by inlroducing more articulation and
recess into the design.
2. The pilasters need to be removed or pulled away from the glass and stone, to
avoid the appearance of simply being "tacked" on to the building.
3. The use of stone, stucco and wood is attractive.
4. The cunent design appears to "busy and culesy."
5. A revised west building elevation needs lo be provided that includes the existing
west elevalion of Russell's.
On March 23, 1998, the applicant's representative met with the Planning and Environmental
Commission for a worksession to discuss the proposal. In preparation for that meeting, the staff
identified the following issues for discussion:
1. A possible site coverage variance and building height variance.
2. The proposed building facade and Bridge Slreet streetscape.
3. The completeness of the application.
The Planning and Environmental Commission indicated they generally liked the proposed
improvements and agreed with the proposed development review process. However, the
Planning and Environmental Commission did recommend that the applicant provide additional
articulalion in lhe design of the Bridge Street facade, particularly on the main level of the building.
The Commission further recommended that the applicant propose improvements to the back side
of the building to clean up and improve the building's overall appearance.
Lastly, lhe Planning and Environmental Commission recommended the applicant remove the
existing trash facilily behind the building. Since our last meeting, staff has researched the trash
facility and discovered that the Town of Vail and the applicant entered into an easement
agreement establishing the Bridge Sireet Trash Facility Association. Therefore, the facility is
permitted to remain. However, if the Planning and Environmental Commission believes that the
maintenance and upkeep of the facility is insufficient, staff would recommend lhat the Planning
and Environmental Commission require the applicant to make all necessary improvements as
part of the final motion.
A copy of the draft minutes from the March 23 meeting has been attached for reference.

MAJOR EXTERIOR ALTERATION CRITERIA
A. Gompliance with the Gommercial Gore lZone District Purpose Statement
According to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, the applicant's properiy is located in
the Commercial Core 1 Zone District (CCl). Pursuanl to Seclion 12-78-1 of the
Municipal Code, the purpose of the CC1 Zone District is intended to,
"provide sites and to maintain the unique character of the Vail Village Commercial
Area, with its mixture of lodges and commercial establishments in a predominantly
pedestrian environment. The Commercial Core I District is intended to ensure
adequate light, air, open space, and olher amenilies appropriate to the permitted
types of buildings and uses. The district regulations in accordance with the Vail
Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations prescribe site
development standards that are intended to ensure the mainlenance and
preservation of the tightly clustered arangemenls of buildings fronling on
pedestrian ways and public greenways, and to ensure continualion of the building
scale and architectural qualities that distinguish the Village."
Staff Resoonse:
Staff believes that the proposed improvements are in compliance with the intent of the
purpose section of the Commercial Core 1 Zone Districl.
B. Gompliance with the Urban Desion Guide Plan forVail Mllage
Staff Response:
There are no specific sub-area concepts in the Urban Design Guide Plan for Vail Village
relevant to this proposal.
C. Comoliance with the Urban Design Considerations for Vail Villaqe and
Exterior Alteration Griteria
The Urban Design Considerations for Vail Village are intended to guide growth and
change in ways that will enhance and preserve the essential qualities of Vail Village.
The Urban Design Consideralions are divided into two major categories: Urban Design
considerations, and Archiiecture/Landscape considerations. The following design
considerations are critical elements of the vail Village Urban Design Guide plan and
provide the criteria to evaluate new proposals;
Urban Design Gonsiderations
The Vail Village Urban Design Considerations are primarily the purview of the Planning
and Environmental Commission.
Pedestrianization:
The proposed major exlerior alteration will have no negative impact on the
pedestrian circulation within Vail Village. The proposed addition will add
visual interest to Bridge Street and improve customer access into the
Slifer Building.
Vehi cu lar Penetrati on :
Vehicular penetration and circulation will remain unchanged, as a result of
this proposal.
Streetscape Framework:
Streetscape framework identifies two altematives for improving the
pedestrian experience in the Village. These include the development of
open space, including landscaping along pedestrian roules, and the infill
development of commercial storefronts along pedestrian roules.
Landscaping softens the building edges and provides a colorful accent,
while commercial infill provides additional street-level activity and visual
inierest for pedestrians. Upon review of the applicant's proposal, staff
believes ihat ihe major exterior alteration will contribute positively to the
overall pedeslrian experience along Bridge Street. Staff feels the
proposed facade improvements, the increase in landscaping, the new
brick pavers and the new display window will enhance the overall
appearance of the Village.
Street Enclosure:
The purpose of this design consideration is to ensure that a comfortable
relationship between the widlh of the streel, and the height of the building,
is maintained. The proposed addition will result in a slight decrease in the
width of the street at the second level of the building only, and a slight
increase in the overall height of the building's Bridge Street facade.
Currently, Bridge Street is approximately 25 feet wide in front of the Slifer
Building. Slaff believes that a comfortable relationship will be mainlained
between the width of the street, and the height of the building, upon the
completion of the proposed major exterior alteralion.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5. Street Edge:
The design consideralions encoumge that a strong, yet irregular street
edge be created along pedestrian streets. An inegular streel edge brings
variety and visual interest to the pedestrian experience. In response to lhe
concerns expressed by the Planning and Environmental Commission
during lhe worksession meeting, the applicant has made minor revisions
to the plans and introduced greater articulation to the Bridge Street
facade. The greater articulation provides increased opportunities for
pedestrians to stop and window shop in front of the Slifer Building without
impeding pedestrian flow. Staff believes the inegular building line of the
proposed major exterior alteration adds visual interest and will have no
negative impacts on the Bridge Street slreet edge.
6. Building Height:
The gable roof form over the retail space on lhe south end of lhe building
will remain unchanged. However, the applicant is proposing to alter the
exisling roof form over ihe real estate office portion of the building.
Currently, the roof form over the real estate office is a shed roof sloping to
the south. The applicant is proposing to construct a new gable roof with a
5/12 pitch over the real estale office. The main ridge of the gable will
result in an increase in building height of approximately three feet. Even
after the increase in building height, 100% of the building roof area will still
be under 33 feet in height. The building height limitation in the
Commercial Core 1 Zone District permits up to 40% of the roof area to be
33 feet to 43 feet, and 60% of the roof area to be 33 feet or less in height.
Staff believes the proposed building heighl is appropriate for this site and
does not believe the proposal will have any negative impacts on the area.
7. Views and Focal Points:
The proposed expansion does not affecl any adopted or proposed Town of
Vail view conidors, nor does it negatively impaci any focal points in the
Village.
8. Service and Delivery:
The proposed major exterior alleration will not negatively impact cunent
service and delivery patterns.
Architectural/Landscape Considerations
The Architectural/Landscape Consideralions are reviewed primarily by the Design Review
Board.
1. Roofs
Staff believes that the change in roof form of the Slifer Building will have
positive impacts on the appearance of the Bridge Street facade. Due to
the height of lhe roof, the roof malerial is not visible from street-level.
2. Facades
Slaff believes thal the proposed changes to the Bridge Street facade will
enhance lhe visual interest of the building and add variety to the
pedestrian experience along Bridge Street. The removal of the dated
vertical wood siding and the application of stone, stucco and rough sawn
wood beams and braces furthers the building's compliance with ihe Urban
Design Considerations for Vail Village. Staff further believes that the
applicant should improve the east side (back) of the building. Cunently,
the east side of the building appears neglected and in need of
maintenance and upkeep. Poienlial improvements might include a fresh
coat of paint, sidewalk repairs, an electric meler enclosure and
landscaping.
3. Balconies
A small, 40 square foot balcony will be constructed on the second level of
the building. The new balcony replaces an existing 132 square foot
balcony. Approximately 92 square feet of the existing balcony is being
converted to inlerior office space. Staff believes that the area of the
balcony that is to remain is large enough in size to provide adequate relief
and visual interest to the building.
4. Decks and Patios
No decks or patios are proposed.
5. Accent Elements
To provide additional accent and visual interest to the building, the
applicant is proposing to hang flower boxes from the building. The new
flower boxes will be hung from the second story balcony and below the
stairway window, belween the first and second floors.
6. Landscape Elements
There is curently very little landscaping on the applicant's property. To
increase the amount of landscaping, the applicant is proposing to
construcl 12 112 square feet of addilional landscaped area along Bridge
Street. The new landscaped area will be accommodated in two planters
constructed along the front of the building. The landscaping in the
planiers will help lo add seasonal color to ihe streetscape.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal is in compliance with the Urban Design Considerations for Vail
Village.
D. Compliance with the Vail L"and Use Plan
The following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan are applicable to this proposed alteration:
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 ihe permanent resident.
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.
1.12 Vail should accommodale mosl of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas
lo accommodaie both local and visilor needs.
Staff Response:
Staff believes thal this proposal is consistent with the Vail Land Use Plan.
E. Compliance with the Vail Village Master Plan Goals
The Vail Village Master Plan is intended to guide the Town in developing land use laws
and policies for coordinating development by the public and private seciors in Vail Mllage
and in implementing community goals for public improvements. Further, lhe Master Plan
is intended to serve as a guide to the staff, review boards and Town Council in analyrzing

V.CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR A VARIANGE REOUEST
Upon review of Section 12-17-6, Variance Criteria and Findings, of the Town of Vail
Municipal Code, the Communily Development Department recnmmends approval of the
requested site coverage variance. The recommendation for approval is based on the
following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
To the north, south, east and west of the Slifer Building are reslaurant,
retail, commercial, residential and office uses. To the west, dirdcfly across
Bridge Street, is the Covered Bridge Building and the Gasthof
Gramshammer Lodge, which contain a mixture of relail, restaurant and
lodging uses. To the south of the Slifer Building is the Clock Tower
Building, which contains the Ore House Resiaurant and the Gorsuch retail
space. To the north of lhe Slifer Building is the Gallery Building, which
contains Russell's Restaurant and Nick's. To the easl of the Slifer
Building are the Vail Row Houses.
Staff believes lhe proposed site coverage variance request of
approximately 3.2o/o, in conjunction with the proposed major ederior
alteration, would not negatively impact other potential or existing uses in
struciures in the vicinity of the Slifer Building. ln fact, staff believes the
variance, if approved, would create a more enjoyable pedestrian
environment and would enhance the visual inlerest of lower Bridge Street.
Approximately 50o/o ol the additional 103 sq. ft. of site coverage will be
added below grade in the lower level retail space.
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 grant of special privilege.
Staff believes ihat approval of the requested sile coverage variance would
not be a grant of special privilege. Staff believes the variance of 103 sq.
ll. or 3.2o/o is appropriate, as the proposed addition brings the Slifer
Building into greater compliance with the Urban Design Considerations for
Vail Village than the existing slructure did, and that no negative impacts
are associaled with lhe proposal. Compliance with the Urban Design
Considerations is an important goal for redevelopment in the Village.
Additionally, the previously approved proposal (1992), which required a
site coverage variance of 1.8o/o, utilized a similar review process. For
these reasons, we believe a slight departure from the Commercial Core 1
site coverege regulation is warranted.
lt
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facitities and
utilities, and public safety.
The requested variance will have litile, or no impact, on the above
described criteria.
B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before
granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constiiute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
the same district.
2. Thal 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 viclnity.
3. That the variance is warranled for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The slrict 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 exlraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone.
The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulationc.
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other irroperties in the same district.
Pursuant to Section 12-78-15 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, sile coverage is
limited in lhe Commercial Core 1 Zone District to 80% of the buildable area of a
loi. The cunent site coverage is approximately 93.9olo and is in accordance with a
site coverage variance approved by lhe Planning and Environmenlal Commission
in 1992. The applicant's plans indicate that there will be a proposed increase in
overall site coverage. In order for the applicant to increase the site coverage, a
variance must be approved by the Planning and Environmenlal Commission.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Communig Development Departmenl recommends approval of the applicant's request for a
major CCI exterior alteration and a site coverage variance to the Slifer Building, to allow for a
remodel and expansion to the existing building, located at 230 Bridge StreeULot B, Vail Village
l2
1st Filing. The recommendation for approval is based upon the staffs review of the major
exterior alteration criteria and site coverage criteria outlined in Sections lV. and V of this
memorandum.
Major Exterior Alteration
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve the major
exterior alteralion request, staff would recommend the following findings be made:
1. Thal there are no sub-area concepts which relate directly to this
redevelopment proposal, and therefore, the redevelopment proposal is in
compliance with the Urban Design Guide plan for Vail Village.
2. That the redevelopment proposal is in compliance with the urban Design
Considerations for Vail Village.
3. That the redevelopment proposal helps to achieve the goals of the Vail
Land Use Plan, and therefore, the proposal is in compliance with the Vail
Village Master Plan Goals.

Site Coverage Variance
Should the Planning and Environmental Commissioni

That the granting of the site coverage variance does not constitute a grant
of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties
located in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District.
That the granting of the site coverage variance will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity of the Slifer Building.
That the strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the site coverage
regulation would resull in practical difficulty inconsistent with lhe
development objectives and goals of the Municipal Code, the Vail Village
Master Plan and Urban Design Considerations.
f:\everyone\precVnernos9 8\baseml3 23 l3
should the Planning and Environmental commission choose to grant an approval of the
requested major exterior alteraiion and site coverage variance requests, siaff would
recommend thal the commission make the following conditions part of the approval:
1. That the applicant pay into the Town of Vail parking Fund to meet the
requirement of the additional parking demand resulting from the
redevelopment proposal, prior to the issuance of a building permil. The
exact dollar figure shall be determined by the Town of vail at the time of
building permit application, based upon the parking pay-in-lieu fee at lhe
time and the configuration of the interior floor space.
2. That the owner of the property in gueslion be responsible for the upkeep
and maintenance of the planlers and landscaping, as identified on the
approved development plan dated April 13, 1999.
3. That the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission approve
the site coverage variance request of 3.2o/o to allow for the maximum site
coverage to be 97.1%.

6. A request for a worksession to discuss a Major CCI Exterior Alteration and a site
coverage variance, to allow for a remodel and expansion to the Slifer Building, located at
230 Bridge StreeULot B, VailVillage 'lst Filing.
Applicanfi Slifer Designs, represenled by Jim BucknerPlanner: George Rulher
George Rurher gave an overuiew of the statf memo.
Discussion lssue #1
Jim Buckner, representing the applicant, said the height vadance would not be an issue, as it
woutd offer a variety of roof heights and would only be on the front ol the building.
John Schofield noticed on the site visit that the dumpster was on Town property.
Jim Buckner said he was not aware of that.
George Ruther stated the back of the building was on the property line and that the trash
enclo-sure and reserved parking were on TOV property. He said in the CC1 Zone Disrict, on-site
parking was prohibited and they may need to reduce this non conformity.
John Schofield had no problem with the application.
Greg Amsden had no comments regarding the height and site at this time. He did agree. that the
parking was encroaching into a TOV tract. He said the handicapped access area should be .
labeled handicapped, Instead of private.
Galen Aasland said the west elevation needed significant articulation and he could not support
this application until he saw more articulation. He said it was against lhe Town's objectives to
have a flat wall against Bridge Street.
Diane Golden echoed lhe concerns about parking.
Greg Motfet stated thal in order to grant a variance, the PEC needed to know why it would not be
a special privilege and advised the applicant to come up witlt a good reason.
Discussion lssue #2
Jim Buckner said the DRB gave us an understanding of where to work towards, so we just need
comments from the PEG regarding the walking experience.
Galen Aasland said he wanted to see a change in the roof.
Diane Golden supported the change in the roof pitch and the change from external stairs.
John Schofield said he heard the DRB comments.
Greg Amsden had no commenls.

Greg Moffet said rather than shrubs for landscaping, he would like to see a commitment to
flowers, as shrubs die with people sitting on them.
Discussion lssue tltl
George Ruther asked if the Pec wanted to see a color board.
. The PEC did not want to see a color board.
7. A request for a worksession to discuss fie proposed Major CGl Exterior Alteration to

Planner: George Ruther
George Rulher gave an overview of the statf memo.
Kathy t-angenwalter explained the model and said the applicant was using lhe same fooprint that
ttre tiong Kong used, jrist changing the entrance. She said the edge of building was .7' over the
propertlline oh one side and .7' under the property line on the other side.
Greg Moffet disclosed for the record that he saw no conflict, but Base Mountain Sports was a
customer of his.
Galen Aasland disclosed for the record that Wall Street was a customer of his.
Rick Rosen, legal counsel for the Hong Kong, stated that during the original construction, lhe
surveyor mi'sse? by.7'and shifted thebuilding over.7'qs ylu look towards the Lodge property-
ne saiO in 1g86, v'ihen it came up for a redev6lopment the-Town acquiesced to the continuation
of that encroachment and he lelt it had been approved by silence'
John schofield said he would like to see the discrepancy cleaned up for the new owners and
suggested trading some land.
Greg Amsden suggested an even exchange.
Rick Rosen showed the ILC lrom 1986.
Galen Aastand suggested adding more square footage overTown space'
Diane Golden was in lavor of cleaning up the problem'
Greg Moffet strongly recommended trading .7'lor .7', 1
Rick Hosen stated that as the building stands today, there was a window opening on the west
wall and an agreement that allowed f6r the openinls in the event that the Lodge properties did a
redevelopment.

6. A request for a worksession to discuss a Major CCI Exterior Alteration and a site
coverage variance, to allow for a remodel and expansion to the Slifer Building, located at
230 Bridge SlreeVLot B, VailVillage 1st Filing.
Applicant: Slifer Designs, represented by Jim BucknerPlanner: George Ruther
George Ruther gave an overview of the staff memo.
Discussion lssue #1
Jim Buckner, representing the applicant, said the height variance would not be an issue, as it
would offer a varieg of roof heights and would only be on the front of the building.
John Schofield noticed on the site visit ihat the dumpster was on Town property.
Jim Buckner said he was not aware of that.
George Ruther stated ihe back of the building was on the property line and that the trash
enclosure and reserved parking were on TOV property. He said in the CCI Zone District, on-site
parking was prohibited and they may need to reduce this non conformity.
John Schofield had no problem with the application.
Greg Amsden had no comments regarding the height and site at this time. He did agree that the
parking was encroaching into a TOV tract. He said the handicapped access area should be
labeled handicapped, instead of private.
Galen Aasland said the west elevation needed significanl articulation and he could not support
this application until he saw more articulation. He said it was against the Town's objectives to
have a flal wall against Bridge Street.
Diane Golden echoed the concerns about parking.
Greg Moffet stated that in order to grant a variance, the PEC needed to know why it would not be
a special privilege and advised the applicant to come up with a good reason.
Discussion lssue #2
Jim Buckner said the DRB gave us an understanding of where to work towards, so we just need
comments from the PEC regarding the walking experience.
Galen Aasland said he wanted lo see a change in the roof.
Diane Golden supported the change in the roof pilch and the change from extemal stairs.
John Schofield said he heard the DRB commenls.
Greg Amsden had no comments.

flowers, as shrubs die with people sitting on them.

The PEC did not want to see a color board.

A request for a worksession to discuss a Major ccl Exterior Alteration and a site
coverage variance, to allow for a remodel and expansion to the Slifer Building,
located at 230 Bridge Streevlot B, Vait Viilage.l st Fiting.
Applicant: Slifer Designs, represented by Jim BucknerPlanner: George Ruther
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant, Slifer Designs, represented by Jim Buckner, is requesting a Major CC1 Exterior
Alteration, to allow for a remodel and expansion to the Slifer Building, tocateO at 230 Bridge
Street. The applicant is proposing to add approximately 300 sq, ft. of floor area to the existing
building. The additional floor area will be added on three levels of the building and will be
constructed as part of the overall remodel. The major exterior alteration is intended to improve
the Bridge Street facade and improve the customer access. Customer access will be improved
by eliminating the exterior stairs and providing an at-grade entrance to the building. The existing
exterior stairs will be internalized into the building. The applicant believes the proposed exterior
alteration will significantly improve the building facade and the Bridge Street streetscape.
A copy of the plans have been attached for reference.
The purpose of the worksession is to discuss the lollowing issues:
1. A possible site coverage variance and building height variance.
2. The proposed building facade and Bridge Street streetscape.
3. The completeness of the application.
II. BACKGROUND
On March 4, 1998, the applicant's representative met with the Design Review Board for a
conceptual review ol the proposed major exterior alteration. The Design Review Board identified
the following design issues, which they believed the applicant needed to reflect on the final plans:
1. Avoid a straight line plane along Bridge Street by introducing more articulation and
recess into lhe design.
2. The pilasters need to be removed or pulled away from the glass and stone, to
avoid the appearance of simply being "tacked" on to the buitding.
3. The use of stone, stucco and wood is attractive.
4. The current design appears to "busy and cutesy."
5. A revised west building elevation needs to be provided that includes the existing
west elevation of Russell's.
III. ZONING ANALVSIS
The following analysis summarizes the relevant zoning statistics for thls request:

v.ptscusstoN tssuEs
The community Development Department has completed a preliminary review of the
proposed Major cc1 Exterior Alteration. Upon completion of our preliminary review, we
have identified several issues we believe the applicant, staff and planning and
Environmential Commission should address prior to a linal review.
1. A possible site coverage variance and building height variance,
Pursuant to Section 12-78-15 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, site coverage is
limited in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District to 80% of the buildable area of a
lot. The current site coverage is approximately 960/o and is in accordance with a
site coverage variance approved in 1992. The applicant's plans indicate that
there will be a proposed increase in overall site coverage. In order for the
applicant to increase the site coverage, a variance must be approved by the
Planning and Environmental commission. The planning and Environmental
Gommission will review a site coverage variance request on April 13th.
BuiHing height in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District is prescribed in rhe Vail
Village Master Plan. According to the Vail Village Master Plan, 600/o of the overall
building height is permitted up to 33' in height and the remaining 40ol. of the
building height may be between 33' and 43' in height. Staff has requested that the
applicant submit a completed roof plan, showing the proposed roof configuration
and the roof elevations. Once a completed roof plan is submitted to statt, we will
determine whether or not a building height variance is necessary. Like the site
coverage variance, if a building height variance is necessary, the planning and
Environmental Commission will have an opportunity to review the requesiat the
April 13th Planning and Environmental Commission meeting.
{ staff woutd suggest, based upon the limited information provided, that the
Planning and Environmental Commission provide direction to the applicant, with
regard to both the site coverage and building height variances.
rahl fhA is r..rcn t+ qPhrr ar ry)'+t parVlEe.
The proposed building tacade and Bridge Street streetscape.
The applicant has expressed that the goal of the proposed major exterior
alteration is to improve and update the existing Slifer Building facade and Bridge
Street streetscape. In keeping with the goal of the major exterior alteration, the
applicant has proposed significant improvements to the existing building and the
streetscape.
The improvements include:
1. A change in roof pitch.
2. The addition of stone siding.
3. The elimination of horizontal wood siding.
4. The removal of the external stairs.
5. The introduction of pilasters,W and braces,
6. The rearrangement of windows.
A copy of the plans has been attached for reference.
Similar to the Design Review Board's conceptual review of the applicant's
request, staff would suggest that the Planning and Environmental Commission
provide direction to the applicant on the proposed improvements. Specifically,
staff would suggest that the PEC address the proposed architecture of the revised
building facade and the Bridge Street streetscape improvements. In keeping with
the goals outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan, statf would further suggest that
the Planning and Environmental Commission provide direction to the applicant, as
it relates to Goal #3 of the Vail Village Master Plan, "To recognize as a top
priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village."
. ,,-6 An objective of Goal #3 is to physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by
,^0,V'' landscaping and other improvements. The Town's policy on improving existing
M n'. pedestrian ways is to require that private development projects incorporalet
', p pt&' streetscape improvements such as, paver treatments, landscaping, lighting, and
seating areas adjacent to the pedestrian ways, as well as encouraging the
planting of trees and flowers adjacent to public areas. Staff would recommend
the Planning Commission provide direction to the applicant on any requirements
fie PEC may have for improving and enhancing the streetscape adjacent to the
Slifer Building.
3. The completeness of the application.
on March 6th, a letter was sent to the applicant's representative addressing a
number ol outstanding information that is necessary in order for staff to complete
the final review. (See attached letter).
In addition to the items listed in the letter to the applicant of March 6, 1ggg, the
following additional items shall be submifted to the community Development
Department:
1. A fee of $250 for the proposed variance requests.
2. A written statement of the precise nature of the variances requested in the
specific regulations involved.
3. A written statement addressing:
. the relationship of the requested variance to other existing
or potential uses and structures in the vicinity,
. th€ degree to which the relief from the strict or literal
interpretation and enforcement of the regulations is
necessary to achieve compatibility amongst sites in the
vicinity of the project, or to obtain the objectives of the
zoning code without a grant of special privilege,
. the effect of the variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation, traffic tacilities, utilities and
public safety, and
. how the request complies with Vail's Comprehensive plan.
In order for the applicant to remain on the agenda for the planning and
Environmental commission on Monday, April 13th, the above-listed items must be
submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development by no later than noon,
Monday, March 30th.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
As this is only a worksession and not a final review, the Community Development Department
will not be making a recommendation at this time. The Community Development Department will
provide a recommendation to the Planning and Environmental Commission at the time of the
linal review. A final review is tentatively scheduled for Monday, April i O.

Re: Slifer Building Major Exterior Alteration/Lots B & C, Block 5, Vail Village First Filing
Dear Jim,
I have completed a preliminary review of your request for a major exterior alteration to the Slifer
Building, located at 230 Bridge Street. Upon completion of my review, I have determined that
additional information is necessary. Please submit the following information:
A complete roof plan including proposed ridge elevations, location of mechanical
equipment, and calculations of the 60%140% building height limitations as prescribed in
the Vail Village Urban Design Considerations. Based on existing conditions and your
proposed plans, I believe a building height variance is necessary. I have enclosed a copy
ofthe variance application for your convenience.
A landscape plan indicating the existing conditions and proposed improvements. Staff
would suggest that a narrow landscape planter be proposed beneath the display window
on Bridge Street to add color and variety to the streetscape.
A revised west building elevation that includes the existing west elevation of Russell's.
Label the proposed building materials on the elevation drawings and submit an exterior
color board identifiing the proposed colors
Indicate on the elevation drawings the proposed building edge of the Slifer Building and
the existing building edge of the Covered Bridge Building on the west side of Bridge
Street.
The Design Review Board identified the following design issues which need to be
reflected on the respective plans:
