window fenestration. Commissioner Evans believes the project fits in with
neighborhood, but agrees with staffs recommendations that the application of materials
could be enhanced to improve the appearance of the project.
Commissioner Sipes made a motion to approve Lot 87, Block 1, Wildridge
with the following conditions:
1. Resolve the snow storage;
2. Review the plans to add fenestrations and a variety of materials.

Expansion

screen the garage doors. Commissioner Klein seconded the motion. The motion was

E. Lot 38, Block 2, BMBC — Use Determination
Project Type: Proposed Private Residence Club
Property Owner: Robert Borg .
Applicant: Robert Borg
Address: 220-A West Beaver Creek Boulevard
The Private Residence Club application required the Commissioners to
make a use determination as set forth in the Avon Zoning Code. The determination is
limited to whether a proposed residence club is in keeping with the RD District —
residential zone district. The intent of the residential zone district is limited to a low
residential use. Commissioner Karow made a motion to approve Resolution 00-2
determining that the Residence Club is not a use consistent with the Residential Zone
District. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Klein and unanimously approved.
The applicant is concerned that the densities in the area are now much
higher than intended. He submits that the Residence Club would encourage a year-
round tourism base, increase tax revenues, and increase the real estate transfer tax.
The commissioners encouraged the applicant to work with staff to obtain the application
requirements for a PUD. Staff cautioned the Commissioners that the application might
pose a spot zoning issue because it is a mechanism not otherwise afforded to others in
the community.
