Town of Vail Council Chambers
What follows will reflect motions and actions taken by the Vail Town Council at their regular
work session on August 22, 2000. All members were present with the exception of Ludwig
Kurz, Rod Slifer and Chuck Ogilby.
Item No. 1: An appeal of the Planning and Environmental Commission July 24`h upholding
of a staff decision regarding the requirement for a joint owner's signature on a development
application submitted to the Department of Community Development for property located at
1001 Eagles Nest Circle/Lot 1, Block 6, Vail Village 7`h. On June 27, 2000, the Department
of Community Development rejected an application for design review approval from the
appellant since it proposed a development on a jointly owned piece of property and the joint
owner's signature did not appear on the application. Pursuant to Section 12-3-3(A), Vail
Town Code, the applicant has filed an appeal. The appellant asserts the application was
originally submitted on July 14, 1999 and that the new application is a revision to the original
submittal and, therefore, it should not be subjected to a requirement formalized on May 2"d of
this year. Staff s recommendation was to uphold the PEClstaff decision regarding the
requirement for a joint owners' signature on an application submitted to the Department of
Community Development; subject to the following findings:
1). The staff decision is consistent with the provisions of Section 12-11-4, the Vail Town
Code (material to be submitted; procedure) and Town of Vail Zoning Code interpretation 933
(attached). The application requirements have not been met in full by the applicant/appellant.
2). Staff s decision was not an "ex post facto" application of the code since the design
review application was submitted 41 days after the formal zoning interpretation was drafted.
Following the discussion with both parties being represented by counsel, Kevin Foley moved
with a second from Greg Moffet to uphold the PEC/staff decission regarding the requirement
for a joint owners' signature on an application. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 4-0.
Item No. 2: For many years the Potato Patch Club had been the sight of a legal non-
conforming "grandfathered" restaurant operation of the property. Section 12-8-8 of the Town
Code permits a change of non -conforming uses on a site, subject to Town Council approval.
The applicant was proposing a change from one non -conforming use (restaurant) to another
(professional offices). Greg Moffet raised the question as to whether this was an appropriate
action to be taken at a worksession. Council agreed that this would be better beard at an
evening meeting. Greg Moffet moved, with a second from Kevin Foley to table this item to
the evening meeting on September 5, 2000, for discussion and a decision. A vote was taken
. and the motion passed unanimously, 4-0.
• Item No. 11: Sybill Navas brought up a request from the Leadership Vail Valley Group,
which is a program run by the White River Institute, requesting a $1500 contribution from
Council Contingency to provide funding for a 3-day charette in regard to juvenile substance
abuse in Eagle County. She described in -kind contributions for lodging and meals to bring
the experts in to discuss this topic county wide. Greg Moffet moved, with a second from
Kevin Foley, to approve $1500 from Council Contingency. A vote was taken and the motion
passed, 5-0 (Ludwig Kurz had joined the Council by this time).
