C. Design Guidelines
Village at Avon RMF -2
Employee Housing
Discussion takes place between all Commissioners regarding the Design Guideline Lines.
Commissioner Wolfe makes a motion to approve with the following:
Suggestions
1. Traer Creek should undertake a definitive process to define the Vision and Master Plan
for the Village as a whole. This will facilitate the generation of Guidelines for other
Planning Areas and integrate them to each other and with the rest of the town.
2. The Village PUD should be abstracted to provide a user friendly set of requirements
concerning building heights, parking, landscape area, etc. and other such requirements
contained in that document. This abstract should be added to all guidelines.
3. Ultimately, a single set of guidelines should be produced that cover all general topics
relative to the Village with planning area specific requirements in a series of subsections.
This will create a more efficient and useful document.
4. Flat roofs are allowed (page 9) for detached carport and parking structures. The
Commission suggests that this latitude not be allowed in future Planning Area Guidelines
and it be deleted from RMF -2 if not needed to encompass the currently planned
development.
