The meeting was called to order by Chairwoman Pat Cuny. Members Present: Frank Doll, Buz Reynolds, Pat Cuny, Mike Blair, Charlie Gersbach, Mark Donaldson, Tom Landauer Members Absent: None Staff Present: Norm Wood, Director of Engineering and Community Development - Jim Lamont, Planning Consultant Ray Wright, Engineering Technician - Maggie Lach, Recording Secretary Lot 21 Blk2. BM @ BC Avon Commercial Building - Building & Parking Lot Modifications - Design Review Gersbach stepped down due to a possible conflict of interest. Wright stated at the meeting of October 5, 1987, the Commission determined that Slifer Designs was compatible with the parking requirements previously set forth for the building. At that meeting there was discussion about existing on-site parking spaces and that the project is currently 2 spaces short of the minimum parking required for uses already in the building. The applicant was directed to address the parking issue along with design review for modifications to the building exterior. Plans.have been submitted which show additional parking spaces and additional retail space proposed for the project. Wright then presented submitted plans for Commission review and comment. Rick Erickson, applicant stated that Christy Sports has made a request to expand their existing location to another 328 square feet. He stated that they wanted to expand another 13 1i2 feet through the south interior wall. That area would be for their ski storage and summer patio furniture. He stated that the difference between the 42 spaces and 44 parking spaces occured because the contractor did not build according to the design. The striping was put back the way it was rather than maximizing the parking. He explained that the plans show 48 spaces, and Staff has eliminated 4 spaces in the Staff Comments. The 2 spaces located along the north side of Christy Sports were eliminated because of access, and the west side shows 20 spaces, and there are 19 spaces striped, and this won't accommodate another space. The trash enclosure was built incorrectly and could possibly be relocated. It is built 2 feet from the south property line and 5 feet from the east property line. Staff recommended that 3 parking spaces be used beside the dumpster and that should give us the 44 parking spaces before the Christy Sports expansion. Right now we would like approval for the design review of the changes for Slifer Design and not consider the expansion of Christy Sports. Discussion followed on plans submitted regarding parking and signage. Blair asked if the materials for Slifer would be compatible with what is currrently on the building. Erickson stated it would be the same as Christy Sports. He explained Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes November 3, 1987 Page 2 of 4 Lot 21 Blt '' BM C BC - Avon Commercial Building - Building & Parking Lot Modifications - Design Review Con t. that the 4 foot wide landscaping area would be moved back and reduced to a 12" or 18" flower bed.

Blk. i BM C BC - Mountain Center - Variance from Inclusion of Mini -Storage in Parking Requirements - Public Hearing Gersbach rejoined Commission discussion. Wright stated Vail Building Arts Associates, owners of the Mountain Center project now under construction on Lots 26/27, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, are requesting a variance from the Zoning Code to exclude the mini -storage space in the basement from the parking requirements for the project. The applicant feels that si-cp an interior driveway has been provided to access the mini-s'_orage bays, surface parking for this space is unnecessary. Les Shapiro, owner and applicant stated that the basemert has 8,400 square feet with a hammerhead turnaround, and the building is equipped with a complete garage ventilation system. There is room to turn around. Commission then reviewed previously approved design review plans. Cuny then opened the public hearing. There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed. Shapiro stated there are 24-30 storage units at 9' x 25' and access is through a card system, similar to that used in the Vail parking structures. Blair asked if those spaces could be marked as a loading zone. Shapiro had no problem with it. Commission then reviewed criteria for approval of a variance, Section 17.36.040. Doll motioned to adopt Resolution e7-14, approving a variance request to exclude the mini -storage space from the parking requirements for the Mountain Center project. The Commission found that the application complied with Section 17.35.050, Findings Required. Gersbach seconded. Passed unanimously.
