Regular Agenda Items - 7:35 PM Lot 12 Blk. 2. BM @ BC S.R.U. (Transfer of Residential Development Rights from Unassigned Unit Pool) Public Hearing Con t. from 10/21/86 Regular Meeting Landauer stepped down due to a conflict of interest. Wright stated that this item was continued from the October 21, 1986 regular meeting. The original application had requested that applicant be allowed to transfer 4 Residential Development Rights from the Unassigned Unit Pool to Lot 12, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. Due to discrepancies between Town records, Benchmark Company's records and applicant's records, Staff has asked the applicant to submit an amended application for the Commission to act on in order to clarify the development right situation on Lot 12. Staff recommends, and applicant has requested, that this item be continued so that the Public Hearing can be re -advertised. Donaldson motioned to continue this application per Staff's and applicant's request. Cuny seconded. Landauer abstained. Motion carried. Lot 11 Blk 1 BM @ BC - Avon Auto Body & Frame - Design Review Modification - Roof Color Change Landauer rejoined Commission discussion. Wood stated that this item had been withdrawn because applicant was unable to get the roof color he wanted. Blair stated that this item would be removed from the agenda per the applicant's request. Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes November 6, 1986 Nage 2 of 4 Eaolewood at Vail - Conceptual Review - Meyers Ranch Annexation Wood stated that this project was presented to the Commission for conceptual review at the October 7, 1986 meeting. Following that meeting, the Commission made several suggestions to the applicant and based on those suggestions, the applicant presented a revised conceptual plan at the last meeting. The revised plan called for 185 residential units and 268 parking spaces, which would meet minimum requirements if the maximum 15% reduction was granted for the site. The basic layout and architectural style was essentially the same as presented at the previous meeting. Following the review at the last meeting, the Commission denied conceptual approval of the proposed project based upon non-conformance with Design Review Guidelines of the Commission. The applicant has submitted a revised site plan which is virtually the same as previous submittals, but some of the things that have been added are the addition of a bus drop-off area along Highway 6, a covered pedestrian crosswalk between Buildings A and D, and an area in Building D designed as Reception/Community Center. Wood then reviewed plans showing changes with Commission. Wood stated that these modifications address some of the very specific items with regard to bus service being separated from the parking lot, etc., and Staff feels that some of the actual site constraints have not been addressed. Wood then reviewed Staff comment, with Commission. John Werner, applicant stated that he would address Staff report comments, and presented color rendering for Commission review and comment. Werner stated that bus turn -around is 80 feet from Highway 6 to backside of bus radius and accel-decel lane should not require more than 10 feet. Werner then continued review of Staff comments and stated that 1 parking space would be lost with covered pedestrian way, and not 4. He did not feel that snow storage would literally be pushed against the building because there is 23,000 square feet of snow storage. Total parking space comes to about 90,000 square feet, which would be 26% snow storage of total parking area, or 35% snow storage for above -ground parking. He felt that most of the concerns of the Commission had been addressed. Werner then presented massing model for Commission review, along with color rendering of the building. Cuny stated that at the last meeting the concept was denied, but the same concept is being presented again with some different details. Werner felt that a better site plan had been presented, along with art work and a model of the proposed project. Cuny agreed with Staff that a new direction in the project design was needed. Werner stated that if a new design were economically viable for the project, he would do it. Gersbach felt that applicant did not respond to input from Commission from last meeting. Lamont stated that Bill James requested that he look at a third option, which is a reconfiguration of the building site.

Lamont then presented his rendering for Commission review and comment. Discussion followed. Maddox motioned that this item be continued so that applicant might consider other site development options. Landauer seconded. Donaldson stated he agreed with Lamont's approach to the project, but he +Flt uncomfortable with the Town doing too much design work. Passed unanimously. Proposed Lot 1 Yacht Club Addition - Preliminary Design _Review. Wood stated that this preliminary design review is for the Yacht Club located on Lot 1 of the Yacht Club Addition. The Yacht Club subdivision was approved along with the zoning and the established uses in September of 1986. The final subdivision plat has not been recorded at this time. Lot 1 is zoned SPA and Ordinance 86-20 established the allowed uses of time share, condominium, hotel and limited commercial. Ordinance 86-20 also established maximum building area ratio, minimum open space, setback requirements, parking and building heights. The preliminary plans show 21 residential units using 19 Development Rights, and approximately 7,300 square feet of swimming pool and recreation amenities area. The proposed building consists of a series of towers of varying heights up to 7 stories. Parking spaces have not been verified due to discrepancies between engineering and architectural plans. Engineering drawings have been revised to show elimination of the easterly ramp to underground parking, which increases the number of available parking spaces and allows connection to the proposed Riverside Center project. Other changes include clipping of a corner on Tower- C to avoid encroachment into rear setback and the installation of a walkway and retaining wall in the rear setback. Wood also explained that by reducing the size of 2 towers, the site encroachment problems would be eliminated. Eric Roupp, applicant stated that engineered drawings show that the building fits within the envelope. He stated that pedestrian way in rear of building was included because of Staff recommendation. He stated retaining wall will vary in height from 3-5 feet along a 300 foot stretch along the river. He stated that if pedestrian way and retaining wall were removed, it would not matter either way to him. Tract A will be dedicated to the Town at a later date. Roupp explained that plans submitted are proposed building foundation footprint. He stated that he would like the foundation approved and design a building off of it. Roupp went on to explain that Tower C encroaches 8" into setback, and would like aesthetic approval, not a variance, since it makes more sense to let the building hang in there for 8" versus Staff's alternative of reducing the sizes of the towers, which loses 6,000 square feet from the project. Discussion followed on pedestrian walkway. Roupp then presented massing model for Commission review and comment. Discussion and review followed on plans submitted, as well as comments from Staff Recommendations.
