Since 1966, the golf course maintenance facility has been located on Parcel E. In 1980 this property was annexed into the Town and zoned Natural Area Preservation District. This facility is a nonconforming use and any proposed changes to the facility requires a change in the Vail Land Use Plan and a zoning change. Changing the Vail Land Use Plan is the first step in a three step process, that would enable the VRD to rezone the property to the General Use (GU) District and apply for a conditional use permit to remodel the facility. The Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed this • request on March 27, 1995 and unanimously (6-0) voted to recommend approval of this request.

Mayor Osterfoss read the title in full. Paul Johnston moved to approve Resolution No. 10 with a second by Tom Steinberg. A vote was taken and passed unanimously, 6-0. Seventh on the agenda was Appeal of DRB decision to deny the proposed additions and remodel of John Krediet's home located at 226 Forest Road/Lot 11-A, Block 7, Vail Village 1st Filing. Applicant: John Krediet. Council was asked by staff to review the design review guidelines pertaining to Duplex and Primary/Secondary development; review the proposed architecture for the Krediet remodel; and uphold, modify or overturn the DRB denial of the project. Vail Taw. Council E4 ing Meeting Mi tee 4U4195 Randy Stouder stated that although the DRB felt that the proposed remodel was a definite improvement to Mr. Krediet's home, they felt bound by the design review guidelines for duplex and primary/secondary development which require architectural integration between structures. The existing Krediet and Samuels residences are located on the same lot in the Primary/Secondary zone district. Although the two units are physically separated, the question remained whether they are architecturally integrated according to the design review guidelines. The DRB felt that the proposed remodel and addition to the primary unit (Krediet residence) produced an architectural look that departed from the current architectural style of the secondary unit (Samuels residence) and thus did not meet the design review guideline requirement of architectural integration between primary and secondary units. Steve Riden made a short presentation on behalf of John Krediet. Mr. Riden cited several examples of other primary/secondary units that lacked architectural integration yet were approved. Mike Arnett and Hans Wolrich were present representing the Design Review Board. Mike summarized the DRB's position. Mery Lapin moved to uphold the DRB decision to deny appeal with a second by Jan Strauch. A vote was taken and passed, 5-1, with Sybill Navas opposed. Eighth on the agenda was Town Council call up of the Design Review Board (DRB) . approval for a proposed building expansion and site amendments at the Lions Square Lodge, located at 660 West Lionshead Place/Lot 1, Vail Lionshead First Filing, First Addition. Applicant: Bill Pierce, representing the Lion Square Lodge Condominium Association. 0 Jim Curnutte asked Council to review the proposed building expansion and site amendments and uphold/overturn/modify the decision of the DRB to grant final design approval for the proposed project. On February 13,1995, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) approved the requested common area and parking variances and a major exterior alteration in the CCII Zone District, with conditions. The vote was 7-0. On February 21,1995, the Town Council "called up" the PEC decision for further review. The Council decided to let the PEC approvals stand in order to allow the project to receive final Design Review Board review. The Council made the applicant aware that they may then "call up" the DRB approval for further review, if they so desired. On March 15,1995, the Design Review Board approved the project, with conditions, with a vote of 3-2. Bill Pierce and Jim Turner were present representing Lions Square Lodge. Bob Borne, Hans Wolrich, and Mike Arnett were present representing the DRB. Jan Strauch moved to overturn DRB approval of the building expansion, with a second by Mery Lapin.
