Re: Lot 8, Bighorn Subdivision
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Design Review Board's decision
approving the Keller Duplex nn Lot 8, 8igharn Subdivision, has been called up and
overturned by the Uail Town Council.
The DRB's decision was called up by the Council at their afternoon work session
of April 12, 1983. The call up was placed on a Council agenda and heard at a
public hearing the evening of April 19, 1983. .
At this meeting the Councii overturned the DRB's decision, effectively denying
the application to construct the Keller duplex. In their motion to overturn
the Council ruled that:
a. The application did not meet 18.54.010, Purpose statement, of the Design
Review Chapter. This section reads:
In order to preserve the natural beauty of the town's site and
setting, and to prevent indiscriminate clearing of property,
removal of trees, and earthmoving, and to attain the objectives
set out in this section, exterior design of all new development
and additions to existing development shall be subject to design
review.
b. The application did not meet paragraphs L, R, and S of Section 18.54.070
Design guidelines:
L, Removal of trees, shrubs, and nonhazardous native plant materials
generally should be limited to removal of those essential far
development of the site.
~.>: -.
Lot 8, Bighorn 4/20/83
` R. In residential areas, location and configuration of buildings should
maximize the privacy of surrounding dwellings and should intrude
into their views to the minimum extent feasible.
S. In residential areas, accessory buildings generally should be attached
to the main building either directly or by means of a continuous
fence, wa11, or screen at least six feet high of the same or a comple-
mentary material as the main building's exterior finish.
-.

The Council also indicated that as soon as the applicant was ready, the application
could be placed on a DRB agenda without having the application be republished.

~e next item on the agenda was the appeal of Vail Associates Snowmaking Project.
Petter Patten presented the proposal to the Council. He stated this is an
application for a Conditional Use Permit which had been called up by the
Council due to concerns over minimum stream flow. There has been discussions
with Vail Associates, the Forest Service and the Planning Staff. The
Forest Service and Planning staff statistics showed that minimum streem flow
would be protected. The Planning Department recommended approval with these
conditions. A) Meter Gold Peak, LaonsHead and New Facility. B) Review the
data at the end of 1 year to assure VA as not exceeding to water use causing
the stream flow to go below minimum. After much discussion Ron Todd made
a motion for approval of a temporary conditional use permit of Vail Associates
Snowmaking pump house for the Phase T portion of the work. This approval
should be for a 1 year period at the end of which time we will review the
facts and with the stipulation VA install meters. The snowmaking should be
monitored close, and with the conditional direction that the
communication that is currently going on between the TOV and VA and the
Forest Service continue so that we can have some sort of ongoing idea what
impact snowmaking is occurring on the creek. Seconded by Chuck Anderson.

is investing too much money to risk having the permit removed for whatever
anon in one year. It was agreed that Larry Eskwith would get together

major arcade designation had been turned down by the PEC twice. There was

food and beverage had been restricted from the area and that the arcade was in
such an area that could be monitored by the front desk personnel at the Tnn.
He stated that the request was to only add one additional video game, thus
making it a major arcade. Jim Sayre stated that. the staff approved the request.

other requests of this type. Ron Todd stated that he felt it was the parents
responsibility to supervise their children., not the Inn's and felt that this
was a reasonable request. Todd then made a motion to overturn the PEC decision
