Building.

Boothcreek Townhouse project was presented for final approval by Mr. Gordon
Pierce. The Council observed that this is the type of project the Town of
Vail would like to see more of. Mr. Lamont then pointed out that the staff
has met with Mr. Amm6ns, the owner of'the project, and he has agreed to the
staff recommendations. A motion for approval of the project subject to the
staff recommendations was made by Mr. Donovan. The motion was seconded by
Mr. White and approved unanimously by the Council. Mr. Ammons must submit
a letter to the Town , as well as drawings for a fire protection system.
This system must be approved by the Fire Chief and the.Town Engineer. A
landscaping plan must also be submitted for approval.
The Wren project was presented for final approval by Charles Gersbach. It
was pointed out by Ms. Toughill that there is a setback prokilem on the west
side of the parking structure that must be solved, or a- variance will be
necessary. Since the Apollo Park project is so near the.property line, it
is doubtful that the Board of Appeals would grant a variance.in this case.
Mr. Lamont stated that the Town staff has met with Mr. Gersbach and John
Huebinger and they have agreed to all recommendations made except items
4, 8 and 13. Mayor Dobson felt it would be necessary to schedule further
meetings with the developer and staff on this project to work out the setback
problem. Mayor Dobson requested the staff to study .the project and make
further recommendations to the Council after meetings with the Developer.
Mr. Gordon Pierce presented the Red Lion .addition for final approval. in.
his presentation he used a model of the Red Lion as it exists and also as it
would appear with the proposed addition. The model depicted the Red Lion in
relation to other structures on Bridge Street. The, Council first suggested
that Mr. Burdick wait for the new zoning ordinance as it will take care of all
the setback and parking problems under the new pedestrian precinct. Mr. Pierce
stated this would be too late for 1973 construction since they would .'want to
be finished in time to re -open in November. Mayor Dobson suggested a meeting
with Mr. Burdick when he returns to discuss the possibility of his placing money
in escrow for parking spaces in the future Transportation Center. Mr. Pierce
agreed to this suggestion and will schedule a meeting as early as possible.
The next item on the agenda was the Three Willow Place project (new design)
which was also presented by Mr. Pierce for final approval. The Council agreed
with the staff recommendations and would be agreeable to negotiations on the
parking in front of the building. A motion was made by Mr. white for approval
of the project and seconded by Mr..Langmaid. Approval was unanimous.
As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
