VII. PUD Amendment / Sheraton Mountain Vista — CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING
Property Location: Lot C, Avon Center Subdivision /140 W. Beaver Creek Boulevard
Applicant/Owner. Points of Colorado, Inc
Description: A request for an amendment to the Lot C PUD to modify the existing
property rights and zoning for Lots 2C, 3, 4, and 5 (Phase 1C). This application
proposes to eliminate a 125 -room hotel, and increase the number of time-share units in
the project's last phase of development. This application was last reviewed at the July
17, 2007 Commission meeting.
Matt Pielsticker presented the Staff Report.
Ruth Borne, Points of Colorado, approached the podium to discuss this application. Ms.
Borne had submitted to staff a letter of clarification regarding two items that reflected the
recommended motion in the Staff Report with Item 1 being a memo from Norman Wood
dated 2006 that stated the need to provide 19.44 acre feet, and they will work with staff
and the District to provide adequate water rights and regarding Item 2 that at the last
hearing information be provided regarding the studio units available, and that 4 units are
available with three units continuous with one another. Lastly, the vesting period, as
was outlined in the Staff Report, a letter was provided prior to the last meeting, that the
Development Agreement specifically said that vesting period was until February 22,
2012 and upon the commencement of construction and not completion.
Commissioner Green questioned the affordable housing and continued that staff wanted
to double the size of the units rather than have 4 smaller units.
Scott Wright, Assistant Town Manager, discussed the Stan Bernstein Financial Analysis,
fees and costs, stabilization was presented, the model reflected the failure to construct
the hotel and the original PUD provided for a rebate of taxes, real estate transfer tax
goes into the general fund for CIP development. Ongoing revenues pay for municipal
services for the General Fund and Real Estate Transfer Taxes pay for projects.
Commissioner Evans asked which scenario was preferred by the Town and Mr. Wright
responded that the new model has additional guest nights and it was what the Town
needed for the new projects and that practically it might not be quite as good as the
original proposal, but was good enough. Commissioner Evans questioned if room nights
reflected rooms or people. Mr. Wright responded that it was people. Commissioner
Green questioned the water tap fees.
OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
There were no members of the public that made comment.
CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING
Commissioner Struve remarked on the value was that the time-share would provide
more people to finance Town Center West and could favor timeshares more favorably
than a hotel. Commissioner Foster expressed that timeshare would provide more
activity. Commissioner Smith expressed that the timeshare would be more effective
than the hotel and that the project's massing was more than needed. Commissioner
Lane commented that the time share was good, but concerned about the articulation of
the building proposed. Commissioner Green voiced approval of the time share with
concern of the affordable studio units, landscaping and public plaza design, articulation
was important, the restaurant would be to the Town's best interest but not for a
restaurant to be completed prior to the completion of the building. Commissioner Evans
voiced favor of leaving the recommended motion Condition #5 as it was with revisions
later.
Commissioner Green motioned to approve Item VII, PUD Amendment / Sheraton
Mountain Vista, Property Location: Lot C, Avon Center Subdivision /140 W. Beaver
Creek Boulevard, with staff recommendations 1 thru 6, and clarifying Item 2 that the 4
affordable units need to be reconfigured to be continuous units. Commissioner Struve
seconded the motion. All Commissioners were in favor and the motion passed 6 — 0.
VIII. Special Review Use Review / Employee Housing Units - PUBLIC HEARING
Property Location: Lot 12, Block 1, Benchmark Subdivision / 431 Metcalf Road
Applicant: Mark Donaldson / Owner: Daniel Sunday
Description: The applicant is applying to construct two employee -housing units in
conjunction with a business operation. The property is located on Metcalf Road,
between the Svabik/Lawrence building (Beaver Creek Automotive) and the new Qwest
building. The units would be located on the second floor of the building, which is
currently being remodeled.
Matt Pielsticker presented Staff's Report.
Commissioner Green questioned the use of the units if this building's use changed in the
future. The SRU was tied to the specific use of the building and there was no real
correlation.
OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
There were no comments made by the public.
CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING
Commissioner Struve questioned the duration of the SRU and was responded by
Commissioner Evans that previous SRU applications were specific such as a church
office, pre-school, tree sales.

Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Jared Barnes presented the Staff Report.
Bobby Ladd, architect, approached the podium to present this project to the
Commission, discussed the differences from the Sketch Plan presentation
Commission review included concern with size and the home situated from lot line to lot
line, concerns with landscaping being in clumps/pods rather than spread out, south side
mirrored images, all lights were high and perhaps some could be lower with a dimmer,
light should reflect downward and not up, specified light fixture needed to be changed,
landscaping had no sod area, landscaping could use a more natural feel, architecture
and design had addressed commission sketch concerns. Staff produced the Sketch
Plans for the Commission to revisit. Additional comments included that the project
looked like two separate homes with a connection, not a unified structure, and not two
duplex units.
