The proposed bus shelter design would be constructed at various locations throughout Town. Details of the design are attached as Exhibit A to this Staff Report. This Staff Report summarizes the design review criteria and bus shelter design considerations. Summary Staff worked with Victor Mark Donaldson Architects on a design for the bus shelters. The proposed design utilizes simple, durable materials in a modern design. Steel framing and mesh help ensure minimal vandalism while a curved, corrugated metal roof protects waiting transit passengers from the elements. Glass and/or Plexiglas are not proposed to be used in order to mitigate vandalism; steel wire mesh would be used on three (3) sides to help screen passengers from wind and precipitation, but still allow visibility for increased safety. One side of the structure would feature a built-in ski stand for patrons to rest their ski equipment. Signage is consistent with existing transit line signage as applicable to the specific location and would feature the line identification as well as a schedule. Benches can be installed to the concrete pad depending on location and overall dimensions may vary depending on location due to ridership. Lighting and/or electrical is not proposed. Lastly, the color would match the newer streetscape elements in Town ("Toyota Green"). The proposed shelter design would be rolled out in phases. The first phase of construction is slated for fall 2015, including the City Market, Christy Sports, and Comfort Inn stops. The second phase includes: Eaglebend-West, Eaglebend at Stonebridge, and Buffalo Ridge East (pending Village at Avon approval). The third phase includes West Beaver Creek Boulevard at Avon Elementary and West Beaver Creek Boulevard at Westgate Plaza. The Town is not proposing to install a shelter at Canyon Run due to a lack of useable space. Lastly, no shelter is being pursued at the newly created Northside Cafe stop per the request of the adjacent land- owner. Review Criteria The PZC shall use the Development Plan and Design Review criteria as the basis for a decision on the Application. Staff has provided a response to the review criteria below: §7.16.080(f), Development Plan August 18, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page M N R15014 - Town of Avon Bus Shelter Design (1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code as specified in §7.04.030, Purposes; • Staff Response: According to §.7.04.030(d), Development Code Purpose, Avon Municipal Code, states that the Development Code is intended to "promote effective and economical mass transportation and enhance effective, attractive and economical pedestrian opportunities." The proposed bus shelter design achieves the intent of this section of the Avon Development Code by implementing a facility that responds to local and regional ridership at various stations in Town. The design is intended to be aesthetically appealing and contribute positively to the Town's image and new branding efforts. The proposed design uses materials that are durable and appropriate for environmental conditions at this location.

INTRODUCTION These Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards identify expectations for bus stops and standardize bus stop design features. Standardization results in less confusion for bus operators, passengers, and motorists and create a uniform look and feel to the transit system. Consistency in design, however, can be difficult to achieve as many factors influence the choices. These standards will be applied by the Public Works Department, the Engineering Department the Transportation Department, and the Community Development Department in response to property development, re -development, and general streetscape planning. They provide basic guidelines for establishing bus stops on streets and reflect an integration of current Town of Avon practices and facilities as well as industry best practices'. The West Town Center design guidelines have been used herein for illustrative purposes 2. Signage design should be discussed during the plan review period on a site-specific basis. The development of bus stops begins with building orientation so that pedestrians can readily access convenient bus stops. Developers are encouraged to review this document and discuss the requirements at the plan development phase with the Public Works and Transportation Department. Prior to approval of plan documents, site plans require a review by the Director of Public Works and Transportation to assure the development and siting of bus stops provide convenient access, pedestrian connectivity, pedestrian safety, and smooth vehicle operations. These guidelines and standards address the types of bus stops, location, and the amenities required at different types of stops. They include: general information on bus stops, a description of the types of bus stops in the Town of Avon, a section discussing factors related to traffic movements and the interface with the roadway (street -side factors), and a section on factors related to passenger access, site design, and accessibility (curb -side factors). Transit Cooperative Research Program Report 19: Guidelines for the Location and Design of Bus Stops. Transportation Research Board, National Research Council, 1996, National Academy Press, Washington, DC 2 Town Center District Investment Plan, Design Workshop, August 2007 TransitPlus, Inc. Page 1 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards II. GENERAL The Department of Transportation is responsible for establishing bus stops along Town routes, and working with ECO Transit in establishing stops for regional services. The Town will work with CDOT as needed for stops located within the Town boundaries on US Highway 6. These guidelines make references to transit zones so Figure 1 illustrates the adopted transit zones. • Bus stop requirements may be upgraded from time -to -time to reflect passenger, vehicle, or transit operating needs, or in response to new development, intersection improvements, or sidewalk installations. • Bus stops with amenities may be required for developments in areas receiving "Mountain Core" transit levels of service. Stops are designated as "simple" "enhanced level 1" or enhanced level 2", each requiring a different set of amenities. Simple stops have limited requirements and "enhanced level 2 the most requirements. • Stops presently located along some transit corridors may need to be upgraded in response to development or redevelopment or even relocated. • In general bus stops will be required about every 1,500 feet on arterials, unless ridership warrants a less frequent spacing. • Space for bus stops will be required on both sides of streets to allow for bi-directional service, even if bi-directional service is not provided presently. • Bus stops to support a particular development may or may not abut the property. At times, a stop at the nearest intersection or on the opposite side of the intersection may provide for better vehicle flow, site distance, and pedestrian safety. The Town reserves the right to require right-of-way dedication and to charge developers for the cost of bus stop improvements when properties undergo development or redevelopment when such improvements are planned by the Town as shown herein and/or if the Town determines that the project necessitates the creation of a new bus stop. • The Town will decide on whether to serve a given location with a near -side, far -side, or mid -block stop. In establishing stops it is important to understand the operating constraints and issues for the automobile, transit, and pedestrian perspectives. The following safety and operating elements will be considered in bus stop placement3: Safety: • Passenger protection from passing traffic • Passenger protection from weather • Access for people with disabilities • All-weather surface to step from/to the bus • Street lighting 3 Transit Cooperative Research Program Report 19: Guidelines for the Location and Design of Bus Stops, Transportation Research Board, National Research Council, 1996, National Academy Press, Washington, DC, adapted from page 19. TransitPlus, Inc. Page 2 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards Figure 1. Map of Transit Zones TransitPlus, Inc. Page 3 Rq Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards • Proximity to passenger crosswalks and curb ramps • Proximity of stop for transfers to routes in the opposite direction Operating: • Impact of the bus stop on adjacent properties • On -street automobile parking and designated delivery zones • Snow plowing considerations • Bus routing patterns (i.e. individual bus movements at intersections) • Width of roadway and intersecting streets • Types of traffic controls (signal, stop, yield, or round -about) • Volumes and turning movements of other traffic • Width of sidewalks TransitPlus, Inc. Page 4 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards III. TYPES OF BUS STOPS The basic types of bus stops are standard on -street stops and transfer centers. • Standard on -street bus stops are located on municipal streets and roads. These stops may be: - Simple stops, marked by a bus stop sign (e.g. Avon Library). A bear -proof garbage can is also required. Bicycle racks and newspaper racks are optional. These stops are anticipated to have less than 25 passenger boardings on a peak travel day. - Enhanced stops with amenities based on passenger use. The stop on the west side of Lake Street is a prototype example of one with a shelter. In addition to signage and garbage can, amenities may include benches, shelters, bike racks, or other items, as described below. Stops with 25 to 50 passenger peak season boardings will have benches and signs only; stops with 50 or more passenger boardings will have shelters and amenities. These are denoted as Enhanced Level I and Enhanced Level II, respectively. Transfer centers or hubs are locations where multi -mode connections are made. For example: two or more buses meet, a bus meets a train, or bus -gondola or bus -parking connections are possible and passengers transfer between routes or services. These may be in the public right-of-way or on private property. Presently Avon Station is the only transfer center used by Avon Transit and ECO transit. ECO transit also uses the stop near Walmart which is adjacent to public parking garage located within the Traer Creek Metro District. A future transit hub linking car, bus, train, bike, and pedestrians, is expected for the East Avon area near Post Road. Table 1 summarizes the requirements for each type of stop by transit service zone. At the end of these Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards is a list of current stops and essential future stops by type. Generally all bus stops are required to have a pullout, an area of asphalt large enough for the bus to pull out of the lane of traffic. Transit hubs shall be custom designed to match the passenger demand characteristics and existing multi -modal connections provided at the site. Transit hubs shall be designed with the same basic principles set forth for upgraded stops but will necessarily be larger in size because of the number of vehicles and passengers they must accommodate. Transfer centers or hubs need to have room for passenger vehicles and for passenger loading, including those who use wheelchairs. A minimum of fifteen minute parking for passenger vehicles is also recommended in a loading zone. Adequate pedestrian room is also needed for passengers to wait and circulate. All amenities are required at transfer centers. Facilities for passengers include benches and shelters; signage to inform people how to use the system (including all routes stopping there, schedules, and system maps); a restroom access, and possibly ticket machines for regional bus or rail services. Adequate room is needed for the buses to lay -over and for drivers to take a break. The layover space may be at the primary bus stop or nearby. TransitPlus, Inc.

(2) Passenger boardings reflect average winter boardings 3.1 Street -side and Curbside Factors Bus stops are considered from the perspective of "street -side" and "curb -side". The following sections discuss factors and design standards for each. The street -side factors focus on traffic movements and the interface with the roadway. The curb -side considerations focus on passenger movements and amenities for each type of stop. The curb -side section also addresses site development issues. Street -side: The Roadway Interface Location of Stops: Near -side, far -side, or mid -block Decisions on bus stop placement will be made on a case-by-case basis. Each location has advantages and disadvantages. The Department of Public Works and Transportation will balance the safety and operating concerns for vehicles and pedestrians when making decisions on stop locations. Site distance for pedestrians and vehicles, vehicle turning movements, traffic congestion, pedestrian walking distances, and other issues will be considered. Length of Bus Stops Bus stop zones will be sized for 40 -foot length buses plus an additional five feet to accommodate ski boxes and/or bicycle racks. Minimum no -parking zone distances for each type are: TransitPlus, Inc. Page 6 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards Near -side: 100' measured from the extreme outside end of curb radius Far -side: 90' measured from cross -walk. For stops made after a right turn, measure the 90' distance from the end of the radius. • Mid -block: 150' Roadway Design - Clearance Requirements • Overhead obstructions should be a minimum of 12 -feet above the street • Obstructions including tree branches and signs should not be located within 2 -feet of the edge of the street to avoid being struck by a mirror • Traffic lanes should be no narrower than 12 -feet and a desirable curb -lane width (including gutter) is 14 -feet. • Snow plowing considerations should be addressed. Bus Stop Signage Design4 The purpose of this section is to provide guidelines for exterior wayfinding signs and to establish a consistent and controlled transit sign program. Use of consistent design, color, materials, logo, topography and size relationships will help build a cohesive identity in the transit system. Many illustrations in this section are from the West Town Center Design Guidelines. Sign requirements vary from location to location specifically relating to the bus stop usage guidelines listed above (i.e. simple vs. enhanced and whether the area received Mountain Core or Mountain Rural levels of transit service). Generally the sign and route information will be the responsibility of the Town of Avon, but the Town's sign application process must be followed if the developer wishes to install signage. • Simple bus stops require a freestanding bus stop sign and any signage required to denote a no parking zone. • Enhanced bus stops require signage denoting the stop name and schedules. Shelters will have a map case that allows for posting current route maps and schedules. • For all transit sign messages, the town utilizes both Copperplate Gothic 33BC and Engravers MT; all caps and/or big and small caps are preferred. • If possible all bus stops should be equipped with Avon Sign Types A and B: Banner and Bus Identification (Light Standard). The specifications for the sign and identification details are illustrated in Figure 2. Contact the Engineering Department for detailed specifications of compliant bus stops signs by type.

The post base should be fabricated aluminum on all four sides and exposed services are to be powder coated. The number of signs needed at specific stops shall be determined by the department of transportation. Contact the Engineering Department for detailed specification of compliant bus stop signage by type. • The freestanding route map case should be installed at bus stops as indicated in Table 1. The map should have a Engravers MT typeface and be constructed of 6" square fabricated aluminum "I -Beam" posts. Paint or powder coat on all exposed surfaces. Contact the engineering department for detailed specification of compliant bus stop signage by type. Figure 3 illustrates a freestanding route map. Figure 3.

The bottom of the sign should be at least 6.5 -feet above ground level and should not be located closer than 2 -feet from the curb face. Snow plowing considerations shall be addressed. In some cases a shared sign post or placing the sign on a shelter can be used to reduce the number of poles and obstructions. Break -away sign posts are recommended to minimize injuries and vehicular damage and to facilitate replacement of the post. Signs should not be obstructed by trees, buildings, or other signs. Safety • Lighting is important for safety, making it easier for transit passengers to observe waiting passengers, for motorists to see pedestrians, and for passengers to judge distances and the location of steps. Photovoltaic lighting shall be provided at bus stops whenever possible. Contact Engineering for more information on PV lighting specifications and for lighting at bus shelters. The towns standard components for shelters are: - Kyocera KC857 high efficiency muti-cry 62 W pv panel. - Sunlight solar lighting controller 12v-10 amp - 12v-20hr low -loss sealer gei battery for cold weather 8 hours - NEMA 4 enclosure - 12VDC LED lighting with 70w min bulb - Performance for 36 hours of operations between charging - Smaller systems may be approved for simple -type stops without shelters • Adjacent street light with bus stop sign (with or without banner) shall be per Type A (Figure 2) (with stone clad base if space allows) • The stopped bus will affect site distance for pedestrians and vehicles and must be considered in locating the stop. • Turning lanes and round -a -bouts require special accommodations to incorporate bus stops in a manner that provides for smooth vehicle operations and safe pedestrian crossings. These will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. • When bicycle lanes and a bus stop are both present, the operators need to be able to see cyclists in both directions while approaching the stop. Sufficient site distance for cyclists to stop safely upon encountering a stopped bus is also needed. TransitPlus, Inc. Page 10 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards 3.2 Curb -side: Amenities and Access Curb -side factors include those factors and issues that can affect the comfort, safety, and convenience of bus patrons. The Avon Transportation Department and developers should utilize this section as guidelines for providing safe, clean facilities and improving access and convenience to create a pedestrian -friendly community. This section includes discussion about shelter design and placement, amenities, and comfort at the bus stop. Pedestrian Access The needs of riders extend beyond the bus stop to and from the surrounding neighborhood. Building sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, and other safe and convenient crossings are essential, especially for midblock bus stops on busy roads. • Riders should not have to walk through grass or exposed soil to reach the bus. During inclement areas such walkways can become worn and muddy and snow accumulation can create additional problems. • Adequate space free suitable for snow storage shall be provided so the bus stop and passenger waiting area can be kept clear of snow. • Coordinate sidewalks and other pedestrian enhancements to make access to the bus stop as direct as possible. Sidewalk placement that is coordinated with land use and bus stop locations is critical to encouraging the use of transit. Sidewalk design and placement can be used to reduce walking times from the development to the bus stop. • Coordinate bus stops with pedestrian crosswalks to encourage safe access across streets and minimize jaywalking. • Walkways and accessible ramps may be constructed of paving materials (asphalt or small aggregate paving gravel) if there is a slight slope over a relatively short distance, but decisions on materials will be the responsibility of the Town Engineer. • It is desirable that ramps throughout town share consistent design elements in the form of handrail design and materials and ramp base materials wherever possible. • ADA accessibility guidelines must be followed when constructing a ramp. ADA Accessibility • All new stops must conform to ADA requirements. • Examine all paths planned from the bus stop to the land use destinations. Determine whether there are any obstacles that may restrict wheelchair movements or the movements of persons with vision impairments. Protrusions higher than 27 inches or lower than 80 inches may not be detectable to a person with a cane. • Surfaces must be stable, firm, and slip resistant. Avoid abrupt changes in grade and bevel those that cannot be eliminated. A ramp must be installed on any surface with a drop greater than '/2 inch or surface grade steeper than 1:20. • Signs must be designed for use by transit riders with vision impairments. Specific guidelines are given in Section 4.30 of Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities, Transportation Facilities and Transportation Vehicles. In some cases, two signs may be needed to ensure visibility for most users and to assist users with sight limitations. TransitPlus, Inc. Page 11 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards Figure 4.

Bus Stop Pad Must be Clear of Utility Poles, Fire Hydrants, Street. Furniture or Similar Obstacles " Curb Edge Source: TCRP Report 19: Guidelines for Location and Design of Bus Stops 3.3 Waiting Areas • Five feet of clearance should be preserved on sidewalks to reduce potential pedestrian conflicts and limit congestion during boarding times. • Depending on the availability of right-of-way space, utility poles, or buildings, the pad can be located on either side of the sidewalk. A paved surface should be provided from the waiting pad to the back -face of the curb to enhance access and comfort. Waiting pads separated from the sidewalk preserve general pedestrian flow. • The pad should accommodate a 5 -foot (measured parallel to the street) by 8 -foot (measured from the back face of the curb) wheelchair landing pad that is free of all street furniture and overhangs. • Provide additional square footage and equipment racks for bikes, skis and snowboards.

Arcn i Source: TCRP Report 19: Guidelines for Location and Design of Bus Stops 3.4 Shelters From the rider's point of view, an ideal shelter is one that allows visibility and easy access to the bus, is comfortable and convenient, provides clear information, and is safe. From the perspective of the system, a good shelter is one that has low maintenance requirements and is vandal -resistant. These design recommendations are intended to fulfill both perspectives. Bus stops with 50 or more passenger boardings per day will have a bus shelter. Location The bus stop shelter should be located to enhance the circulation patterns of riders, reduce the amount of pedestrian congestion at a bus stop, and reduce conflict with nearby pedestrian activities. Specific guidelines for locating bus shelters are: • Bus shelters near intersections should be set back from the crosswalk approximately 10 feet to avoid conflicts with pedestrian traffic. If a bus stop is on the far side of an intersection, the shelter should be located a minimum of 40 feet from the crosswalk to allow adequate room for the bus to stop. • A minimum of 4 feet should be allowed between the bus shelter and the curb for free movement in boarding and exiting from the bus. • Bus shelters should have their long side parallel to the sidewalk to minimize interference with pedestrian traffic. • Exit and entry openings should be oriented so that people are protected from the wind and weather. However, it is important to keep the side of the shelter facing the street open to allow passengers to board or exit the bus easily. • Provide proper orientation for roof drainage and snow removal (watch potential for icicle formation). • When shelters are directly adjacent to a building, a 12 -inch clear space should be preserved to permit trash removal or cleaning of the shelter. TransitPlus, Inc. Page 13 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards • Elements such as signs, information kiosks or vendors (where permitted) that can obstruct the view of oncoming buses should be located "down -stream" from the shelter. Design A bus shelter should be designed to reflect the place in which it is located. This is accomplished through the use of local materials and by the design details. Our recommended standards for shelter design can be adapted to reflect the unique characteristics of each particular neighborhood, but should in general have a consistent theme. All well-designed bus shelters have the following five general qualities: visibility, accessibility, comfort and convenience, public information, and ease of maintenance. One example shelter is that installed on Lake Street. Engineering information for this shelter is attached to these guidelines and available through the Town Engineer. General Characteristics and Size • The general aesthetic of the site — uncomplicated shapes, uncluttered fagade surfaces shall be respected wherever possible. • A weathered, scrubbed look is desirable for buildings and improvements on the site reflecting the overall nature of the site and Colorado ranching and mining architectural themes. The look of the aspens, logs, cedar shakes weathered shingles are all icons of this area. • Renewable resource systems and materials are strongly encouraged to showcase sustainable approaches provided that they match these other requirements. • The size of a bus shelter depends on the climate as well as the number of people who are expected to use it and the expected use determined by the Department of Transportation. Building Massing and Roof Height • All bus shelters shall be 3 -sided. Open canopy designs are not permitted as they do not protect users from the harsh mountain weather conditions. • Clerestories and skylights are permitted on a case-by-case basis provided that they are weather -tight. These features help to bring natural light into the bus stop but tend to result in higher maintenance and increase the risk of leakage. Exterior Materials • Exterior cladding shall be composed of natural or recycled materials. • No vinyl or aluminum cladding shall be used for siding or trim except in the case of recycled materials that meet the guidelines set forth in this section. • Cladding should not change or alternate from front to side to rear elevations if this would be inconsistent with other surrounding buildings. • Preferred exterior cladding materials include cedar siding and clapboards, cedar plywood sheathing, and composite/cement cladding with appropriate shingle or clapboard -type finish (preferably with recycled materials used). The use of cedar TransitPlus, Inc. Page 14 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards eliminates ongoing maintenance and painting requirements and may be left to weather naturally. • Recycled, "green" materials, and materials obtained locally are encouraged. These materials should be compatible with natural wood materials and stone. Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) may be used where masonry materials are needed to repair or rehabilitate existing masonry structures. • Bus shelters should be composed of structural bolt -together members and inset panels, not snap -together "curtain walls" or decorative sections that are easily vandalized. Steel (with protective coating) or wood structures are allowed. Concrete is not allowed as it is monolithic in appearance and tends to discolor and soil easily. • Photovoltaic systems on fagades or roofs and solar water systems are encouraged. Seating • The amount of seating should be based on both the number of people who will use the shelter and the amount of time people will spend waiting. Where people wait for a long time, or where the shelter is used by the elderly or infirm, more seating is generally needed than in areas where the bus comes more frequently. • The Towns standard material for interior bench seats is a textured light grey TREX or HPDE lumber with a maximum support spacing of 12 inches due to elastic property of these materials. • A bench rail should be provided and located about 3 feet 6 inches above the ground. Materials of construction should be cedar, Trex, or dimensional lumber made of recycled materials. Windows, Doors and Side Panels • Side panels should generally not be used on the curbside of the shelter, except on very narrow streets with heavy traffic. If side panels are used on the curbside, an opening at least 3 feet wide needs to be provided to allow people access to the buses. • Side panels should be mounted 3 inches off the ground so that debris will not collect inside the shelter. If more than 3 inches off the ground, they will not keep out drafts. • Side panels, windows and doors shall be clear, e.g., colorless safety glass, Herculite, Lexan or other vandalism resistant material, and sized in relatively small sections for ease of replacement (e.g., due to vandalism). Plastic or Plexiglas, mirrored or colored glass is not allowed. • New windows shall be natural/protected wood finish, except in cases of limited replacement where windows shall match color of existing fenestration. Vinyl (red or green) clad windows are allowed. • Only fixed, non -opening windows are allowed. • Protruding bay windows are not allowed. • New windows may be constructed of wood, vinyl or aluminum clad, or "plastic" wood composite materials. TransitPlus, Inc. Page 15 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards Roof • A pitched roof must be used to prevent the collection of snow, rain, and debris. • Roofing shall standing seam metal for longevity, ease of maintenance and snow and ice removal. • Roofs shall drain away from heavy pedestrian traffic areas (e.g., note icicle formation potential). • Mechanical equipment shall not be located on roof tops, except for photovoltaic panels, solar hot water panels, special ventilation systems, and related types of equipment. • Roof color shall be Toyota Green unless otherwise pre -approved by the Town. Other • All color decisions shall be made by the Town of Avon. • Natural materials that weather well, such as cedar, are encouraged wherever possible and are preferred over materials that must be painted, stained or sealed. • Lighting shall be as listed in section 3.16. Shelter lights should be housed in a protective casing to reduce vandalism, and directed to illuminate the waiting and boarding areas. An intensity of 20 lumens per square foot is recommended for safety. • Solar -powered lighting is encouraged for shelters. • Adjacent street light and bus stop sign (with or without banner) shall be per Elevation 4 on sheets GR9 (with stone clad base if space allows) or GR10 (without stone clad base) of the West Town Center Design Guidelines. • Schedule, route information, and a map case should be located in or next to bus shelters but not so that the view of the oncoming bus is blocked. The Transportation Department will provide information on the standard sign frame design and size to facilitate display of the same core transit information at all stops. Bus stop sign text shall be determined for each stop by the Transportation Department. • Advertising panels — to be considered on a case by case basis 3.5 Amenities BPnc,hPa All bus stops with more than 25 boardings per day are required to install a bench with the following guidelines: • Coordinate bench locations with existing street lights to increase visibility and enhance the security of a stop. • Do not locate benches in completely exposed locations, if possible. Coordinate bench locations with existing shade trees or install landscaping to provide protection from the elements. • Install benches on a non -slip, properly drained, pad. • Install benches away from driveways. TransitPlus, Inc. Page 16 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards • Maintain a minimum separation of 2 feet between the bench and the back -face of the curb. • At bench -only stops additional waiting room near the bench should be provided. • All street furnishings should be compatible with one another in appearance, style, color and construction quality. • The Town's standard component for exterior benches is Landscape Forms, Model "Chase Park 3 -Seat Backed Unit, Surface Mount" 74" in length minimum cast aluminum back and seat in Toyota Green (olive, stock color) Substitutions may be permitted by the Department of Transportation with written pre -approval. Signage and Route Information Placement and design guidelines for each sign discussed in the street -side section. The Town will be responsible for the design of the information and providing updated information when changes are made to the routes and schedules. Recreational Equipment Storage Facilities Properly designated and located recreational equipment storage facilities discourage users from locking bikes or resting skis in nuscience locations such as onto the bus facilities or on an adjacent property. Proper storage can reduce the amount of visual clutter at a stop by confining this equipment to one area. Recommendations regarding recreational equipment storage facilities are as follows: • Bicycle racks should be installed when demand warrants, specifically at those stops where commuters and residents are prevalent. • Bike racks shall be U -lock compatible. • Locate the bicycle storage area away from other pedestrian activities. • Coordinate the storage facilities near on-site lighting. • Provide space to lean both skis and snowboards (2-4 per stop) wherever possible. Trash Receptacles Provide one bear -proof garbage can per shelter (Bearsaver Model HA -P (brown) with M_ Kit Model HA-C/Cedar) The Town has experimented with other types and found no other equal. Anchor the receptacle securely to the ground. Locate the receptacle away from the wheelchair landing pad areas and allow for at least a 3 -foot separation from other street furniture. Locate the receptacle at least 2 feet from the back of the curb. If the receptacle is adjacent to the roadway, ensure it does not obstruct the site distance of nearby driveways or land uses. TransitPlus, Inc. Page 17 Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards Security* * Also see "Lighting" in Street -side section 3.16 Some guidelines regarding security at bus stops are as follows: • From the security perspective, landscaping, walls, and solid structures can restrict sight lines and provide places to hide. • Bus stop shelters include windows that provide an unobstructed of and to patrons waiting inside. • The stops themselves should be highly visible to permit bus drivers and vehicles to clearly see the stop. • Landscaping elements should include low -growing shrubbery and ground cover reducing the visual barriers present with higher -growing landscaping and trees. • Coordinate stops with existing street lighting. • Stops should be placed near existing land uses to enhance surveillance of the site.

To: Chairman Jim Clancy and Planning and Zoning Commission From: Matt Pielsticker, Planning Manager Date: August 4, 2015 Agenda Topic: Work Session #2 - Wildridge Standards Introduction Following up to the first discussion on proposed Wildridge development standards, staff is presenting some pointed questions to better determine our goals with this effort. The intended outcome of these discussions is goal identification and to provide staff with specific direction to recommend amendments to the Development Code or Wildridge PUD to address concerns with these items. Duplex Design Standards What is our goal? Questions to Consider: 1. Does PZC desire differentiation between z+ units? Or prefer symmetry? z. Does PZC desire codified design requirements or just guidelines? (Shall or Should) 3. Is a cross -slope standard desired? �.

Individual structures shall be differentiated through two or more of the following methods: • Use of distinct color variation and materials between individual structures; • Variation in garage orientation; • Use of distinct variations in roof form; or • Use of distinct variations in architectural features, such as porches, roof form, windows, or similar feature, between individual structures. Lot Splits What is our goal? Questions to consider: 1. Do we want a minimum lot size to first determine lot split eligibility? z. Do we want to require increased building setbacks for proposed lot splits? August 18, 2015 PZC Work Session Wildridge Development Standards PAGE10F2 3. Do we want to require decreased site coverage for proposed lot splits? 4. Does the approval criteria for PUD amendments need to be changed? 5. Should we change the name of the process from "minor" PUD amendment to more accurately describe the application? Steep Slopes What is our goal? Questions to consider: 1. What is considered "steep?" 2. Is consolidating the existing standards enough? 3. Do we need criteria for site disturbance? At what threshold? 4. Do we need to add new standards? If so, what are they? Next Steps When PZC has reached consensus on the intended outcomes of these Wildridge development standards, staff will determine the process for code amendment/PUD amendment and schedule accordingly for PZC and Town Council action.

Regards, Matt Pielsticker Senior Planner Cc: File (MJR13006) 1LARI of ihr %ALLLY" j COLORADO TOWN COUNCIL REPORT To: Honorable Mayor Rich Carroll and Avon Town Council From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Senior Planner Date: November 6, 2013 Agenda topic: 7.2. Two -Year Extension of Development Plan Lot 7, Western Sage Summary The Community Development received a request (Exhibit A) for an extension of the Final Design approval for a 7,673 square foot single-family house on Lot 7 of the Western Sage Subdivision in Wildridge. The Final Design was originally approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) on November 18, 2008. Prior to the expiration of the approval, the property owner requested and received a one (1) year extension from PZC until November 16, 2011. A second extension, this time for two (2) years, was approved by the Town Council on August 23, 2011, which is set to expire on November 16, zoic. According to the Municipal Code, the Council may approve multiple extensions. For reference, the subject Design plans are attached as Exhibit B. Background Pursuant to Avon Development Code (ADC) §7.16.02o(h), Termination of Approval, the property owner is seeking a two (2) year extension to the Design approval for a single family home on Lot 7 of the Western Sage Subdivision, until November 16, 2015. In the written request for an extension (Exhibit A), the property -owner states that a considerable amount of money was spent on the architectural, structural and planning to get the project approved. Since the market has started to improve, the hope is to construct next year. Discussion The PZC unanimously approved the Final Design for this project subject to re -reviewing the following items prior to the issuance of a building permit: 1. The car turning radius out of the garage doors must be reviewed and approved by Staff with the review of an auto -turn analysis; 2. An improved Landscape Plan must be approved by PZC to address the landscaping below the lowest set of retaining walls 3. Grey Color is not approved and an alternate color must be approved by PZC. 4. Alterations to the entry roof (re -reviewed and approved December 2, 2009); 5. Exterior light fixtures are not approved. Revised light fixture(s) must be reviewed and approved by Staff; and 6. The PZC must re -review and approve the lowest retaining wall. These conditions of approval, with the exception of condition No. 4, are unresolved to date. If this Final Design approval is again extended, Staff recommends that the remaining unresolved conditions of approval be addressed prior to the issuance of a building permit. Since the Final Design was approved in 2008, an eight (8) foot bike lane was added to Wildridge Road East in front of subject property, with approximately two (z) feet of asphalt on the side of the road accessing the property. The design of the bike lane may affect the grading and driveway access to the Lot. Accordingly, the last time the design extension was granted, the Council added a condition to the approval stating that the property -owner will submit an updated survey of the property prior to building permit. An updated survey will confirm that the grading and access conditions will function as approved. The Town Council must determine whether an additional extension to this Final Design approval is appropriate given the amount of time that has elapsed since original approval. According to §7.16.02o(h), the "owner shall submit a written request for an extension to the Director prior to the expiration date and shall state the reasons and circumstances for such extension request." Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the extension until November 16, 2o15, with the following conditions: 1. The car turning radius out of the garage doors must be reviewed and approved by Staff with the review of an auto -turn analysis; z. An improved Landscape Plan must be approved by PZC to address the landscaping below the lowest set of retaining walls 3. Grey Color is not approved and an alternate color must be approved by PZC. 4. Revised light fixtures must be reviewed and approved by Staff. 5. The PZC must re -review and approve the lowest retaining wall. 6. Applicant shall submit an updated land survey of the property depicting the location of the bike lane, utility easements, and any other encumbrances recorded against the property since the original approval, prior to the submittal of a building permit application. 7. The Final Design shall be revised if an up -dated land survey of the property reveals new conditions which will affect the functionality of the driveway access from Wildridge Road East and the location and size of the retaining walls.

We tried very hard to start developing this project this fall but our workloads would not allow us to get concrete in the ground this fall. We understand that the project has been extended and that the approval will expire this November. A considerable amount of money was spent on the architectural, structural and planning & zoning to get this project approved. Now that the market has somewhat recovered we would like to develop this project as approved. We respectfully ask the Avon Town Council to extend our approval so we can hopefully start this project next year. Thank you for your consideration.
