Dennis Cole stated that by amending the plat this would allow any owner to go
through the same process to convert their unit(s) to time share.
John Dunn reviewed the zoning ordinance as it pertained to special review use.
The Design Review Board needs to determine whether the proposed use will be
compatible with surrounding units as well as land uses and uses in the area.
The Board should consider the parking and the overall impact of the development
and surrounding units. Also stated that it would take the vote of only four
members of the board to approve the use.
Terrill felt the adjacent property owners should have more time to review this
matter so that they can understand exactly what is going on.
Dennis stated they are only asking for special review use permit for 100 units
because they only have legal authority to that number. Recommending to the
Town that the amended plat grant this right to everyone that may want to go through
the procedure.
John Dunn stated that the issue before the Board is the impact of this use not the
legality of it.
Dennis suggested mailing each owner of a Christie Lodge unit all the Information
that was presented at the meeting. This would let the owners know where they are
in the procedure. Would like to avoid coming back to the Design Review Board.
Jerry Davis felt that time sharing is good for the town. Does agree that the owners
should have been given more time with the notice.
John commented that time sharing is limited to RHDC zoning only.
Dennis Cole - approximately 80 units or less have been sold. U S Home is currently
working with the sale of 100 units to another partnership, and Colorado Investment
is under contract to buy 100 units if they can be time shared.
Mike Blair - approval is required by both the Design Review Board and the Town
Council. Suggested the Board consider this matter at a later date in order to give
the owners more time to find out what is going on.
Tommy Landauer felt that the owners bought the units because they were not time
share. Feels it benefits the Real Estate company and the town but the people
really don't benefit at all. Doesn't agree with it and would be against it.
Bill Pierce - concerned with the impact on the remaining owners that are not a
part of time share process. Feels that a total building as time share might
be valid.
Comments from audience:
Doug Mayes/Manager of Christie Lodge Management Company - stated there are 20
to 25 owners that elected not to go into the rental program. Only about 55-58
people are in 1t.
Dennis Pisch stated the owner (Mr. Bennoit) has not had enough time to review the
matter. Would like to see this item tabled so that the Board and the owners could
obtain more information.
Jerry Davis made a motion to table the application for Special Use Permit to a
later date and that the Board direct the applicant in the areas that we have the
most concern which are 1) the problem with only 100 units being included and the
time limit should be set (May 20, 1982). Mike seconded the motion and added that
the applicant notify all owners that are appropriate to be notified and send
appropriate information from the meeting and any other place to each member of the
Board and also to the Secretary of the Board. Jerry accepted the amendment. Mike
seconded it. The Board voted in favor of tabling the matter until May 20, 1982.
No. 3. Mevers Ranch (Cottonwood), Final Approval for Phase I
Jim Morter/Morter Fisher Arnold -Architects made the presentation. Project has been
reviewed by the Board two times. Several items that needed to be worked out with
Norm Wood. Due to not being able to work out a deal with the Highway Department
a new snow removal plan was submitted. Two matters needed to be discussed with
the Council 1) a variance for 12 small car spaces and 2) approval for 80' tower.
There was also a problem from the last meeting with the parking across the street.

Item No. 3 Meyers Ranch (Cottonwood) Final Approval for Phase I only, File No.
82-2-3.
Jim Morter/Morter Fisher Arnold -Architects made the presentation. Project has been

a new snow removal plan was submitted. Two matters needed to be discussed with
the Council 1) a variance for 12 small car spaces and 2) approval for 80' tower.
There was also a problem from the last meeting with the parking across the street.
Phase I does not require off-site parking. Norm wants them to go through the
subdivision review process first before approval is granted. Bill Pierce told
Jim Morter that his opinion was that the Board might be able to grant final approval
for Phase I subject to getting through the subdivision review process. Jim Morter
stated they would like to get final approval on the first phase subject to the
final resolution of the subdivision review process. Another matter of concern was
-2-
G
a water agreement regarding the irrigation ditch across the property. Jim read
a letter from Arrowhead who has the water rights to the water, stating there
are no objections to the development plans with the understanding that Cottonwood
Condominium Association assumes full responsibility for maintaining Arrowheads
required water flows in the existing irrigation ditch on the Cottonwood property.
Jim also read a letter from the developers of Cottonwood, stating that they would
i comply with Arrowheads request. Requesting that the Board grant final approval
contingent upon the following matters: work out the small car variance with
the Council; the tower allowance to be 80 feet; going through subdivision review
process.
INorm commented on drainage study. The pipe to be used for detention, concerned
with how the pipe is to be cleaned out. Doesn't feel that each end is adequate
means. The detention basin drywells located behind the Phase 3 building were
moved and are now located directly over the sewer line. Feels the subdivision
review is still important. Jim Morter stated that construction will not start
this Spring.
Terrill stated that his major concern is the parking. Should be put on the record
that additional phases of the project are not approved yet. Should not allow the
overall plan to go further. Phase I should stand on its own. Would recommend
that the Board retract any conceptual approval or that the owner be aware that
it is not approved and it will take changes before the next phase is approved.
Jim Morter stated that if the parking situation across the street couldn't be
worked out then the parking could be provided for under Phase 3 building. Only
requesta:ng approval for Phase I.
Jerry Davis stated that he wanted to see where the parking spaces will be before
he would approve'it. Also concerned with how the parking will be provided for
lockoff units. Wants to know how many lockoff units and how many parking spaces.
Terrill stated the parking requirements are 2 spaces per dwelling and 1 per
accommodation unit. The proper form would be a variance application to be
reviewed on its own merit.
Bill stated he recalled Art telling them that if there was a parking problem with
lockoff units then it becomes a revocable right and the Town can say not lockoffs.
John Dunn stated that Art sent a letter to the Town Council regarding lockoff
units. It will be addressed at the Town Council Work Session on 4/27/82.
George Rosenberg/Avon Metro District requested that plans be sent to them. Also
feels that the Town should make a decidion on allowing the lockoffs or not allowing
them.
Tommy stated that he was concerned with the snow removal area, whether it is large
enough and practical.
Mike stated that the property was zoned for a certain number of units. Lockoffs
create new units and the Board should not approve a project that allows more units
than -the zoning allows. Should not be considered or allowed. They increase the
parking requirements and overcrowd the site.
Jerry Davis felt that the lockoff units and parking are a major problem and should
be settled before any approval is granted. Tommy stated that the Board doesn't
know what the other two phases of the project will look like if the parking doesn't
fit. Wants to se,_ the entire project as originally submitted, not in phases.
Jim Morter stated that they were doing the project in phases due to pu6sible
economic problems.
Tommy motioned to disapprove the application for approval of the first phase until
the Board sees the entire project presented showing how it wil- all fit and look
together. Motion was seconded by Mike. Jim Morter asked if the Board could table
this. John stated that someone could make a motion to table which would take
precedence. Jerry stated that the Board should vote on it. Mike stated that he
would recommend that if this application is denied that it be allowed to come back
in some revised state without a new fee. John suggested that the Board postpone

Tommy motion to deny and refile, second by Mike. Unanimous approval. Applicant
is permitted to re -file under the same application.

Subdivision, Fileallo. 82-4-6.
David Irwin made the presentatic-a. Requesting approval to building a duplex. The
lot is located at the entrance to Avon Lake Villas on the corner. Norm stated that
the major problem is the 25 foot setback on the front. Appears to be closer than
10 feet. Terrill stated that the setback is not something that can be adjusted.
-4-
The entire building would have to be reorganized,. It doesn't fit on the lot
properly. Norm commented that it looks like it would have to be moved back about
15 feet. Terrill stated that this this a very substantial change and it would be
appropriate to re—design and then come back to the Board. He could however discuss
the design issues so that he knows where he stands. David stated that he could
turn the building somewhat to get it to fit the lot. Mike stated that the building
really did look good and "healthy". Building materials will be 1 x 12 cedar
siding. Trim to be Clympic stain Cocoa color. Proposing to have a metal roof.
Bill stated that the Board could not take any action due to there being a serious
zoning problem. Applicant requested that this be tabled to the May 6, 1982 meeting.
OLD BUSINESS:
WildridQe Fire Station. Tract C. Wildridge Subdivision
(Bill stated there is a conflict of interest due to providing architectural
services, he passed the chair on to Tommy . Mike stated he may have a conflict
also due to being a member of the Board of Directors for Avon Metro, but has
no monetary interest in the project. Requested that he be allowed to be part of
the discussion but would abstain from voting.)
Lynn Fritzlen and George Rosenberg made the presentation. George stated that
in January 1979 the Town Council handled the master plan for Wildridge Subdivision.
It is an SPA area. The Town Council agreed that Tract C would be appropriate.
He read a letter from Jay Hosburgh, Fire Chief of Eagle Vail Metro Fire Department,
(copy of letter on file) which stated that this particular lot was the most
appropriate for a fire station.
The Board was concerned with the ownership of the fire station. George stated
that they anticipate a similar situation as with the present fire station. The
original owners of the fire station site, which was Benchmark Company, gave a
99 year lease on the fire station site, which is within Tract G, which is Park.
Later the park was donated to the Town subject to the lease for the fire station.
The District has arranged for the funds and this should be dealt with this year.
Jerry stated that the Board needs to get the Town Council to agree with this as
part of the record. Tommy asked what is the next step. Terrill stated that the
Board is only giving design approval. Concerned still with driveway and who pays
for it. Feels this lot is more level than others which would make it more
appropriate for a park. George stated they may have to phase the building.
George stated that the Town will ultimately come into ownership of the remainder
of Tract C. Jerry stated that he would like to see the remainder of the lot
become a park area. There are four parking spaces for two apartment units and
one parking space for fire station. None for the park because they aren't
developing the park yet. Terrill stated that the Wildridge Covenants designate
this as a park which doesn't allow the use for a fire station. Thit would
need to be changed. Jim Wells stated that the Plat describes what the park can
be used for.
Jim Meehan made a motion to grant final approval for the design of the fire house
as specified on the drawings submitted. Motion was seconded by Jerry, passed
unanimously. (Chair was turned back over to Bill Pierce).
Tommy motioned to approve the minutes of 4/1/82, seconded by Jim, passed unanimously.
Tommy motioned to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Jerry, passed unanimously.
