Lot 1, Wildwood Resort
Vail Valley Holiday Inn - Design Review
Continued from 4/11/85 Regular Meeting
INTRODUCTION
Lot 1, Wildwood Resort is zoned SPA with allowed uses being a 150 unit Hotel/Lodge
plus related commercial as allowed in NC (Neighborhood Commercial) Zone District.
The proposed Vail Valley Holiday Inn project consists of 150 unit hotel, 240
seat restaurant/lounge, 5,200 SF of general retail space, 2,924 SF of meeting rooms
plus approximately 8,500 SF for related support facilities, outdoor swimming pool,
landscaping and a minimum of 216 on-site parking spaces. General building design
consists of stucco and/or architectural precast concrete walls, flat roofs with
single ply membrane, redwood deck walking areas and solar bronze glass insulated
windows with brightly colored awnings for accent. Proposed signage consists of
standard Holiday Inn signs on southerly side of building and a free-standing
sign at Swift Gulch and Nottingham Roads along with entrance signs at Buck Creek
Road and Swift Gulch Road entrances.
STAFF COMMENTS
A number of concerns regarding this project have been expressed during the course
of previous reviews. Most of these concerns are outlined on the attached Staff
Report dated April 11, 1985. A number of these concerns have been addressed
by the applicant since the previous meeting at which the Planning and Zoning
Commission gave preliminary approval for the building design, subject to
resolution of site issues which could impact building design.
Staff review of revised plans and documentation indicate a majority of previously
expressed concerns have been addressed. The following may deserve additional
consideration:
1. Parking Lot Light Fixtures - Location, general style and mounting are
indicated on revised drawings. Wattage and type of lighting are not shown.
Current regulations require sodium lighting for parking lots;
2. Snow storage area is somewhat less than minimum required. Applicant
should be made aware that removal of snow from the site will probably be
required during normal and heavy snowfall years;
3. Some details remain to be worked out with regard to Agreement concerning
entrances from Swift Gulch Road. This Agreement is critical and no Building
Permit should be issued until Agreement is finalized and recorded.
Sign program as submitted is very preliminary. Additional information regarding
sign lighting, types of materials and written program are needed prior to final
approval.

STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 4/25/85
Tract Q, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Wendy's Restaurant
Conceptual Review
INTRODUCTION
Applicants have submitted an application for a conceptual review of a proposed
104 seat Wendy's restaurant with a drive -up window. Building and site plans
have been slightly revised from previous plans which were not approved because
of problems with site circulation, access and front set -back on Avon Road.
The proposed building would include the following modifications to the standard
Wendy's design:
1. Sun room on south end of building;
2. Wall materials will be river rock with wood siding above;
3. A screen wall will be constructed above fascia to hide roof top
mechanical equipment;
4. A screen wall and canopy will be constructed at pick-up window;
5. Trash and service areas on north of building will be enclosed by a
screen wall constructed as a integral part of building;
6. Standard metal fascia will be extended completely around building;
7. Wendy's standard building signs are proposed on north and south fascias.
The revised plans do require a variance from the 25 foot front lot setback.
A variance request has been filed and a public hearing for the request has
been scheduled for this meeting.
STAFF COMMENTS
The plans have been revised to address a number of concerns expressed with regard
to previous plans which were not approved.
The revised entrance location works relatively well with current circumstances,
as well as with the proposed roadway alignment across Tract Q. The revised
layout also provides for the required seven car stacking on site as well as
circulation within the site. The site can function independently with the
exception of access to Tract Q North. Final approval should be dependent upon
a satisfactory agreement for access across proposed Tract Q North or the proposed
access easement should be dedicated to the Town for Public access.

Conceptual Review
Page 2 of 3
This application should be considered for conceptual review only. Consideration
of the following is appropriate at this time:
1. General site layout including access, building location and landscaping;
2. General building design including:
a. The suitability of the improvement, including materials of which it
is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located;
b. Nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements;
c. Quality of materials to be utilized;
d. Visual appearance of proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent
or neighboring property with the objective that no improvement will
be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values,
monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired;
3. The following items are somewhat questionable with regard to total
compliance with Zoning Code requirements:
a. Front Lot Setback - Variance requested;
b. Loading Space - minimum size 12' x 35' - space provided is
approximately 8' x 25';
c. Useable Open Space - minimum requirements are 20% useable open
space. Preliminary calculations indicate approximately 14.4%
landscaped or pervious areas and approximately 7.2% impervious
patios and outdoor dining area with interlocking pavers. Total
area approximately 21.6%.
The following items should be resolved prior to Final Design approval for the
project:
1. Approval and recording of Final Plat for the resubdivision of Tract Q;
2. Dedication of public access easement across Tract Q or development of
satisfactory cross access agreement between Tract Q North and Tract
Q South;

Variance Request - Front Lot Setback
•
INTRODUCTION
o The applicant has requested a variance from the 25 foot front lot setback for the
proposed Wendy's Restaurant. The requested variance is for 0 setback for drive
through canopy and screen wall, and 15 foot setback for building. The front lot
line is along Avon Road which has a very wide right-of-way in that area
(approximately 260 feet). The site is approximately 80 feet from the edge of
the existing roadway with the area between being well landscaped.
APPROVAL CRITERIA - Section 17.36.040
Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall
consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance:
A. The relationship of the requested variance application to other existing
or potential uses and structures in the vicinity;
B. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation
and enforcements of specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility
and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the
objectives of this title without grant of special privilege;
C. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety;
D. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the
proposed variance. (Ord. 81-0 S1(d)).
Further:
17.36.050 Findings Required
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall make the following written findings
before granting a variance:
A. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified
in the same district;
B. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity;

Variance Request - Front Lot Setback

C. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
1. The strict, literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title;
2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally
to other properties in the same zone;
3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district. (Ord. 81-9 S1 (e)).
The granting of a variance may be conditioned on action by the applicant.
