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.
