Re: Unapproved enclosure of parking spaces at Solar Vail.
Dear Sir or Madam:
One of the many functions of Code Enforcement is to provide for the enforcement of the
Town of Vail Municipal Codes.
It has come to our attention that the above-described property may be in violation of the
Town of Vail Municipal Codes as follows:
Reported Violation(s) You have enclosed several parking spaces in violation of
the Town Code.
Section 12-11-3(DESIGN RE VIEW) of the Town Code states, in part, that:
A. Scope:No person shall commence removal of vegetation, site
preparation, building construction or demolition, dumping of material
upon a site, sign erection, exterior alteration or enlargement of an existing
structure,paving,fencing or other improvements of open space within the
corporate limits of the Town unless design approval has been granted as
prescribed in this Chapter. The addition of plant materials to existing
landscaping, gardening and landscape maintenance shall be exempt from
this provision.
B. Violation: It shall be a violation of this Chapter and the building
permit for any person to commence, continue or complete work
that has not received design approval as prescribed in this Chapter
and/or is not in conformity with the plans approved and authorized
by the Administrator and/or the Design Review Board and the
Building Official. (Ord. 39(1983) § 1)
Per our records, this property should have 36 parking spaces but only had 25 spaces prior
to your enclosing 3 of them. You must remove all improvements or apply for a variance,
if you feel you have a hardship which will show the need for enclosing these 3 spaces
while decreasing the amount of parking available at this site, within 15 calendar days
from receipt of this letter. Failure to do so will result in a summons being issued.
Your prompt attention regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated and will help
assure that Vail continues to be the desirable and pleasant resort community for which we
all strive. Please feel free to call me with any questions, comments or concerns you may
have. My office phone number is 970-477-3417.
Very Truly Yours,
David Rhoades, Code Enforcement Officer
