The following items were discussed and voted on at the April 24, 2001 Work Session:
Item #4 - Appeal of DRB Decision re: McKeeta Residence
49 The Council voted 6-0 to overturn the Design Review Board's (DRB) denial of a request
to modify a grading and landscaping plan at 1808 Alpine Drive. In overturning the DRB
decision, the Council granted the applicant's request to remove two evergreen trees on
the property as well as other modifications. Council's approval is contingent upon
replacing the trees with like trees, including linear foot equivalents, as well as
guaranteeing replacement of the newly transplanted trees should they die within a five
year period. A motion was made by Councilmember Greg Moffet to overturn the DRB
denial of the request and Coiuncilmember Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote
was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
Item #8 - Sewer Line Relocation Proiect at 401 Beaver Dam Circle
The Council took action on two motions to clarify a property owner's request to relocate
a sewer line to the rear of their property at 401 Beaver Dam Circle. The proposed
relocation, which would allow the applicant to construct an addition to their home, had
required cooperation from the Town of Vail in three areas: 1) use of adjacent Town of
Vail property to place a portion of a utility easement for the Eagle River Water and
Sanitation District; 2) use of Town of Vail property to place a portion of a berm required
to house the sewer line as well as grading associated with the work; and #) permission
by the Vail town Council to access the site for relocation of the sewer line. The adjacent
town -owned land, about 5 acres in size, was acquired by the town from Vail Associates
and is zoned Agricultural Open Space. It consists largely of wetlands. Councilmember
Greg Moffet made a motion to deny the placement of a utility easement on Town of Vail
. property, but to allow for grading to occur on the Town of Vail property subject to Design
Review Board approval. Councilmember Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was
taken and the motion passed, 5-1, Councilmember Donovan opposing. A motion was
made by Councilmember Sybill Navas to deny access to the construction site across
Town of Vail property. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Diana Donovan.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 4-2, Councilmember Kevin Foley and Mayor
Ludwig Kurz opposing.
