The first item discussed by the Council was the parking situation at
Villa Cortina. The Town staff has proposed the.ell"mination of four'
parking spaces near the front entry of the build ing.in order to allow
landscaping and to break up the parking lots between Villa Cortina
and the Bank of Vail.. It has bo.endetermined that.the Bank of Vail
has excess parking spaces and that Kaiser Morcus owns half of_ their
(Bank of Vail) parking lot. A parking variance will not be necessary
as they can count the four ad•dItVcnal=spa"c.es in the. Bank .Parking. lot
since,there is joint ownership of the property' In question.
Next on the agenda was the f.inal'approval for the Wren project. This
project was originally presented for "final approval on March 16, 1973
and approval was denied due to a nonconforming setback. The architect,
Mr. Rosolak resubmitted the plot plan with a parking structure that
does conform to the setback requirements. A final landscaping plan
must be submitted for approval. The developer ,has .agreed to all of
the items presented in the staff design revlew and most of the problems
have been worked out. A motion was made by Mr. White to approve the
Wren. Motion was seconded by Mr. Bailey and approval was given
unanimously.
Snowbird Lodge has met with all of the stipu'lations,set forth...in the
March 20, 1973,meeting. All required letters have been submitted and
all problems with the deck have been resolved. A motion was made
by Mr. White to approve the project and seconded by Mr. Bailey, Approval
was unanimous.
Booth Falls Mountain Homes has asked for final approval and al"I items
which were recommended by staff have been agreed to by Mr. Newell.
A plan for fire fighting for the units not accessible by truck will
be submitted for approval by Mr. Newell. Mr. White made a motion for
approval of this project which.was seconded by Mr. Bailey. Approval
was given unanimously.
The Sunburst project was again brought up for discussion. The developers.
are still concerned about the new zoning ordinance containing a special
zone for this project. Mr. Joe Clancy was informed by the Council that
they did not know, at this time, if there would be a special zone for
the Sunburst project and in the event there is not, working drawings
must be in Dy the June 1, 1973 deadline. Mr..Cl.ancy felt this was a
hardship since they have been more than willing to work with Council
and the Consultants to develop a project Vail will be proud of.

Mr. John Eden of Engelke Architects then presented the redesign of
Villa Cortina and the preliminary drawings for the Tennis Club Complex.
The town staff had previously submitted recommendations o.n both of
these projects. Final landscaping plans must be submitted for approval
on both projects. The parking situation for Villa Cortina had been
discussed previously in the March 29 meeting. As there were no other
problems on the redesign of Villa Cortina, a motion was made by
Mrs Bailey to approve this project. The motion -was -seconded by
Mr. Langmaid and approved unanimously. A motion was then made to
approve the first Phase of the Tennis Club as submitted: The motion
was made by Mr. Bailey and seconded by Mr. White with unanimous,
approval. Mr. Eden was cautioned by Council that,working drawings
for the Tennis Club must be submitted by June I. Council further
stated that there would be no exceptions made to this rule.
Council then discussed a letter from Scorpio submitted along with the
same set of plans for Scorpio Phase II that were.rejected on March 14,
1973. The letter stated that the legal description submitted with
the Declaration of Land Allocation when Scorpio Phase I was incorrect.
Even if this is the case, there, remains insufficient square footage to
construct the building as proposed. The Council instructed the staff
to again reject the plans for Scorpio II as submitted and further not.
to accept revised plans after the April I, 1973, deadline for submittal.
As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
