Public Notice
Notice of the public hearing was published in the May 22, 2015 edition of the Vail Daily in
accordance with Sec. 7.16.020(d) of the Avon Development Code. Mailed notice is not required
for this application type; however, the Applicant mailed notices to properties within 300' of the
Property as a courtesy given the recent public interest with the previous application requesting to
amend the PUD.
Property Description & Background
The property size of Lot 39 is 2.46 acres or 107,288 square feet, and is located on the north side
of Wildridge Road East. The lot is proposed to be accessed at the southeast corner of the
property with a paved driveway turning to the west as it ascends the steep topography.
The Applicant previously requested a PUD amendment to change the development rights for Lot
38 and Lot 39 to allow six (6) single -family -detached units instead of the entitled duplex on Lot
38 and two (2) duplexes or one (1) fourplex on Lot 39. The PZC recommended approval of the
Application at the February 17, 2015 PZC hearing. Subsequent to PZC's recommendation, Town
Council first considered the Application at the March 10, 2015 meeting and motioned to
continue the case to the March 24, 2015 meeting. At the March 24, 2015 meeting, Council again
continued the Application to the April 28, 2015 meeting where the PUD amendment request was
denied by Council.
At this time, the Applicant is proposing to develop the property in accordance with the existing
entitlements and is proposing one duplex on Lot 39 at this time.

5040 Wildridge Road East - Lot 39, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / Major Design & Development
Planning Analysis
Allowed Use and Density: The Property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and is
located in the Wildridge Subdivision. Lot 39 was platted in its current form from the original
Wildridge subdivision plat in 1979 and has development rights for four total (4) units built as
two (2) duplexes or one (1) fourplex. At this time, the Applicant is proposing one duplex that
will be constructed on Lot 39. Thereafter, one additional duplex could be permitted on the lot
upon subdivision of the property.
Lot Coverage, Setback and Easements: The applicant is proposing nine -point -six percent (9.6%)
impervious coverage, which complies with the maximum fifty percent (50%) allowed by zoning.
This represents all impervious surfaces compared to the total area of the Property, excluding the
areas rendered undevelopable including utility easements and steep grades. The proposed
structure is in compliance with the setbacks and easements.
Lot 39 Setbacks
25 -foot front yard
0 -foot common (when replatted)
10 -foot side
10 -foot rear
Lot 39 has standard Wildridge setbacks: seven and one-half foot (7.5') drainage & utility
easements on the side property lines; a ten foot (10') utility & drainage easement on the rear
property line; and a ten foot (10') slope, maintenance, drainage & snow storage easement on the
front property line. The application is compliant with the applicable requirements.
Building Height: The maximum building height permitted for this property is thirty-five feet
(35'). The applicant is proposing a maximum building height of thirty -feet and one -inch (30'-
1 ") according to the development plans. An Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) is required
during construction to verify compliance at foundation and framing inspections.
Parking: The parking requirement is three (3) parking spaces per unit for units over 2,500
square feet. The Applicant is proposing at least two (2) garage spaces and two (2) driveway
spaces for each side of the duplex.
Outdoor Lighting: The Applicant is proposing to use dark -sky -compliant lighting fixtures
exclusively for outdoor applications that will be compliant with the Dark Sky Ordinance. A cut
sheet of the proposed exterior lighting fixture is attached for review.
Snow Storage: The total driveway area for Lot 39 is 4,916 square feet of surface area requiring
983 square feet of snow storage. The Applicant is proposing 1,827 square feet of snow storage
for the area. Snow storage is proposed along the south side of the driveway and a portion of the
east side near the entrance. The snow storage areas are practical and exceed the minimum
requirement of twenty percent (20%) of the driveway area.

5040 Wildridge Road East - Lot 39, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / Major Design & Development
Design Standards Analysis
Landscaping: The proposed landscape plan meets the minimum landscape area requirements,
maximum irrigation area requirements, and total landscape unit calculation as required by the
Development Code. Plantings include the use of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs.
Irrigation: Due to the south -facing site orientation and high degree of solar penetration, the
applicant is proposing permanent drip irrigation for all trees and shrubs shown on the landscape
plan. Of the 13,021 square foot landscape area, only 5.6% is proposed to be drip irrigated, less
than the 20% maximum allowed.
§7.28.050(e) requires that the development provide 261 Landscape Units based on the 13,021 SF
of total landscaped area. The applicant is proposing 431 Landscape Units and 731 SF of
irrigated area. Therefore, the Application meets the 20% minimum requirements for landscaped
area, 20% maximum irrigated area, and awarded landscape units.
Building Design, Building Materials and Colors: The primary exterior building materials and
colors being proposed are included in the attached application materials. The materials and
colors proposed were reviewed for conformance with Sec. 7.28.090(d) Generally applicable
Residential Design Standards and 7.28.090(e) Design Standards for the Wildridge Subdivision
and determined to be compliant with all applicable design standards. The proposed stucco color
"Sand Dune" has a Light Reflective Value (LRV) of forty-seven (47), where a maximum of 60 is
allowed.
Roof Material and Pitch: The roof material and pitch were reviewed for compliance with Sec.
7.28.090(d)(3) Roofs. The applicant is proposing to use asphalt shingles for all primary roofing
with a minimum four -to -twelve (4:12) pitch and a maximum six -to -twelve (6:12) pitch which is
compliant with the minimum (4:12) and maximum (12:12) allowed by the Development Code.
Additionally, metal corrugated Corten roofs are proposed with a three -to -twelve (3:12) pitch
which is compliant with the minimum for a metal roof.
Design Standards for the Wildridge Subdivision.
This section of the Avon Development Code is included for PZC review of the Wildridge-
specific design standards in order to determine whether the application meets the intent and
requirements of the code. It should be noted that some design standards are requirements where
the word "shall" is used and other design standards are guidelines where the word "should" is
used.
Intent: To preserve and enhance the aesthetic qualities of the natural hillsides by designing
projects which relate to the slope of the land and minimize the amount of project grading; and
To promote development which is visually compatible with the natural topography of the
surrounding area.
Building Height on Steep Slopes. Determining building height on steep slopes has frequently
resulted in three-story walls on the downhill side that create an overbearing presence on
properties below. Therefore, the visual impact of building height and massing on lots with steep
slopes shall be reduced by articulating the building facades and creating proportional stories in
June 2, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 14
5040 Wildridge Road East - Lot 39, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / Major Design & Development
a multi -story building. Building height will be reduced for buildings or portions of buildings with
flat roofs as follows:
• Four -to -twelve (4:12) roof slopes or greater: thirty-five (35) feet.
• Less than a four -to -twelve (4:12) roof slope: thirty (30) feet.
Building Desi,: Buildings shall have street facing architectural details and elements which
provide a human scale to the facade. Flat, monotonous facades shall be avoided.
The design of a structure shall create variety and interest along the street elevation. A significant
alteration of the massing and composition (not just the exterior colors and materials) of each
house or each townhouse or duplex unit must be accomplished. The use of architectural features
that increase visual prominence should be avoided. Massive, tall elements, such as two-story
entries, turrets and large chimneys, should be avoided. Such elements on the downhill face of the
structure are of particular concern.
Staff Response: Lot 39 is an immensely steep lot and the fagade of the proposed three-story
structure will be prominent as viewed from Wildridge Road East and properties downhill.
Architectural features used on the front elevation do not seem to increase the visual prominence,
but the massing is debatable. The Wildridge-specific design standards require a high level of
articulation and alteration of the massing of the structure. As better illustrated in the side
elevations, the proposed duplex does accomplish significant stepping back with the slope, though
the massing remains significant when viewing the front (south) elevation. Conversely, the rear
(north) elevation is greatly minimized which is beneficial to existing residences uphill on Long
Sun Lane.

(1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code

Development Standards; and
Staff Response: In addition to the above -referenced provisions of the Development Code,
the Property is subject to the Wildridge PUD standards. The analysis contained in this
staff report ascertains that the proposed development is consistent with the applicable
Development Code and Wildridge PUD standards.
(6) That the development can be adequately served by city services including but not
limited to roads, water, wastewater, fire protection, and emergency medical
services.
Staff Response: The Applicant has demonstrated that the proposed development can be

water rights for the property since Lot 39 is entitled for four (4) dwelling units and two
(2) dwelling units are proposed to be constructed at this time.
7.1� 6.090(1), Design Review
(1) The design relates the development to the character of the surrounding
community; or, where redevelopment is anticipated, relates the development to the

feature wood and stucco siding, stone wainscot and earth tone colors. Additionally, the
landscaping is proposed to consist of a mix of evergreen and deciduous species native to
the area which is common throughout the neighborhood.
(2) The design meets the development and design standards established in this
Development Code; and
Staff Response: The design is compliant with the development and design standards
contained in the Development Code as determined by the above analysis.
