This public hearing was conducted to acquaint the public
with the local zoning changes proposed by Vail Associates
and to review the current FAR's at the informal suggestion
of the Architectural Control Board.
I. FAR REGULATIONS.
Planning Commission Chairman Gerry White noted that
the Architectural Control Board feels current FAR's
are too lenient. The Architecture Board recommends
a reduction in only the HDMF and PA zones. The
Architecture Board considers a 1:1 ratio more
appropriate to these zones; the Planning Commission
concurs that 1.5:1 is too dense. Jim Keogh, representing
developers of the Edelweiss Condominiums, asked if
enactment of such a reduction would affect construction
applied for and approved prior to such amendment.
As presently planned, the FAR for this lodge is 1.49:1.
It has been approved by the Architectural Control Board
and application for building permit has been submitted.
Bob Lazier, who plans construction of a lodge on the
Caulkins property, has a similar problem. The ratio
of his planned building is 1.25:1. Attorney Brown
concluded that there would have to be some very substantial
reasons for decreasing the FAR's, and that cases such
as these --wherein a potential hardship exists --would
certainly be taken into consideration. He advised the
Planning Commission to require submission of a formal
petition by the Architectural Control Board before
the Commission makes its recommendation to the Board
of Trustees. Chairman White and the Trustees present
concurred that this would be required.
11. ZONING CHANGES.
Chairman White reviewed the seven proposed zoning
changes submitted by Vail Associates. Clay Simon
noted that VAI is proposing conditional use for
utility purposes on areas zoned Agricultural. There
was no opposition to any of the proposed changes.

III. SETBACK REQUIREMENT'S.
Terry Minger recommended that specific setback
requirements be included in the forthcoming revision
of the Zoning Ordinance. Clay Simon requested that a
six-foot buffer zone for vehicles be considered for
inclusion in the setback requirements.
IV. ZONING ON PORTION OF PULIS ANNEXATION.
Jay Pulis requested the Planning Commission and the
Trustees to recommend a zone for the currently
unzoned northwest portion of the property recently
annexed (north of Brittan residence). Chairman
White felt this impractical until the Pulises indicate
their intended use of the land.
After consideration of the discussions this evening,
Attorney Brown and Terry Minger will draft revisions
to the Zoning Ordinance for presentation at the
next Trustee meeting on the 13th of April.
With no further business to be discussed, the meeting
adjourned at 9:26 p.m.
