| | | | | | | | ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with modifications, deny Ordinance No. 5, Series of 2017.
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: The Hill Building is impacted by three adopted view corridors. One of the view corridors is not affected by the proposed application to renovate the building. A second corridor is affected, however, the building currently encroaches into the view corridor and the applicant is proposing to significantly reduce the encroachment and substantial improve the view through the corridor. The third view corridor will be affected by a minimal increase in the height of the building and a chimney. In order to allow for this increase in height to occur, a view corridor encroachment must be approved by the Vail Town Council.
|
| | | | | | | | STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission has reviewed the proposed view corridor encroachment request. Upon review of the request, the Commission has forwarded its recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council of the request, as proposed. In making their recommendation, the Commission found that the proposed encroachment complied with the criteria for review as outlined in the Vail Town Code. Therefore, the Commission recommends the Vail Town Council approve Ordinance No. 5, Series of 2017 as read.
