|
| | | | | | | | ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The question to be answered by the Vail Town Council regarding this appeal is: Were the requirements of the Vail Town Code, specifically Title 14, Chapter 10, Design Review Standards and Guidelines properly applied in the decision approving a request for a minor building addition, exterior alteration and new outdoor dining patio, located at 100 East Meadow Drive Unit 15/Lot O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1?
Pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Appeals, Vail Town Code, the Vail Town Council shall uphold, uphold with modifications, or overturn the Design Review Board’s January 16, 2019, decision.
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: The applicant originally proposed a more aggressive project that included the construction of an elevated patio, larger proposed commercial additions and an overall reduction in the quantity of landscaping. This proposal under went a preliminary review where a number of concerns have been expressed by various Town departments and an outside urban design consultant engaged to review the proposal with respect to adopted plans, including the Vail Village Master Plan and the associated Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations. These concerns were largely focused on pedestrian safety resulting from the removal of any refuge for pedestrians resulting from the proximity of the improvements to bus travel way. The loss of valuable, mature landscaping was also identified as a concern.
|
| | | | | | | | STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Should the Vail Town Council choose to uphold the determination of the Town of Vail Design Review Board, the following statement is recommended: “The Vail Town Council finds as follows: The Vail Town Code was properly applied in regard to the January 19, 2019 Design Review Board approval of DRB17-0390. Furthermore, the project consisting of a minor building addition, exterior alteration and new outdoor dining patio, located at 100 East Meadow Drive Unit 15/Lot O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, is consistent with Title 14, Development Standards, of the Vail Town Code.”
