VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

ITEM/TOPIC:   Permission to Proceed - Solar Vail Access

PRESENTER(S):   Justin Lightfield, Planner

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   The Community Development Department requests that the Town Council evaluate the proposal to utilize Town of Vail property for the purposes of improved access for the redevelopment of Solar Vail. This utilization of Town of Vail property would be subject to the terms of an access easement in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney.

BACKGROUND:   The proposal includes a modification to this existing access driveway to improve both vehicular and pedestrian safety, and two sidewalks to the west to provide pedestrian access to the existing bus stop. The proposal within Tract A includes a driveway, sidewalks, and lighting. The access improvements impact approximately 2,000 square feet of Tract A. The proposal on Potato Patch, Block 2, Lot 8 (zoned General Use), includes two walkways totaling 280 square feet. The Applicant must obtain approval from the Vail Town Council as the property owner before proceeding through the Town’s development review process for any improvements on Town owned property.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:   Instruct Town Staff to sign the development application on behalf of the property owner and permit the project to proceed through the development review process for the proposed improvements.
