He felt that this recommendation would be discriminatory since tourists and visitors to Vail do not add as much to the community as those who have worked for and invested money in land in the community. The proposed quad- lift will further aggravate the parking problem. Bill Wilto suggested {~} using the Town of Vail restricted parking east of the Dobson Ice Arena _ paid for by taxpayers - as an alternative parking location for Vail employees and local res- idents, (2} developing additional parking sites, and {3} continuing use of existing parking passes with no cost increase. Dan Corcoran suggested using vac- ant condominium parking lot spaces throughout the Village for local use.

Evidently, the Vail Town Council wi11 be voting this evening on the lease of public land to the Vail Valley Foundation for the purpose of constructing the Ford Amphitheater. I would urge the Council to vote in disfavor of this lease for the following reasons: 1. There are fundamental. questions as to the feasibility and/or desirablity of a seasonal vs. permanent facility. 2. The feasibility and/or desirablity of the site, particularly in the absense of any qualified site selection study which considered alternate locations. 3.

The eleventh item on the agenda was the appeal of the Scherer GRFA variance request. Tom Braun explained the circumstances of the appeal. Brian O'Reilly, representing Carl Scherer, explained why they think the appeal should be granted. The findings were noted: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. If the request were granted, it could become precedent setting and the enclosure of several balconies would have an impact. Furthermore, existing development is dramatically over the allowable density and the enclosure of several balconies would be an even greater density increase. 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. To grant additional GRFA in an already dense area would be a grant of special privilege. After much discussion by Council, a motion to uphold the PEC decision was made by Dan Corcoran.

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. Ordinance No. 4 was designed to make it easier for applicants to add GRFA to single family and primary secondary units as well as multi- family units. The stipulation on multi-family units was that no deck or balcony enclosures or any exterior additions or alterations will be allowed for multi-family dwellings. The reasoning behind this stipulation was that if multi-family building owners enclosed their decks, or added exterior additions the bulk and mass of the building would be greatly increased. No physical hardship can be determined which would warrant the approval of the proposed GRFA. For this reason, it would be a grant of special privilege to allow the GRFA additions. Kent Rose acted as Mayor. Colleen Kline made a motion to uphold the PEC decision, and Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 3-0, with Mayor Johnston, Dan Corcoran and Gordon Pierce abstaining. The next item was not scheduled.
