FINAL DESIGN COMPLIANCE - BARRANCAS Lots 38, 40, and 41, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek 0491 and 0511 Metcalf Road Applicant: Tanavon/Fieldstone Development Tambi Katieb made staffs presentation, which included pictures from the mock up and a fly -by provided by the applicant. Andrew Royster, from Fieldstone, asked if there were any questions. Commissioner Wolfe summarized that the I Beam was too narrow and details of the finished treatments need to be clarified. The green color is too bright and needs to be toned down, in his opinion. Commissioners Karow and Macik had no comments. Commissioner Sipes stated that the green should be more sage like in appearance, muted not so vibrant, especially considering that the design is already very modem and untypical. Generally, the detailing on the comers needs to be specified such as the flying elements roofs over stairs etc. The trash enclosure should be made of pressure treated wood. Commissioner Sipes asked Chairman Evans how the connection would work with the stucco and metal. The depth of the mockup needs to be worked on. Commissioner McClinton stated that the colors are his biggest concerns. The colors are supposed to be more subdued. The connections between the comers of the galvalume must be clarified as well as the soffit underneath the corrugated on the front elevations. Chairman Evans agreed with the comments about the colors. They are too vibrant for the site and he expects them to be closer to the color elevations submitted at the final design hearing. The mockup was too simple, it must have more details. Rick Dominic, from Fieldstone, asked if details that were submitted are acceptable. Chairman Evans stated that he would prefer to see them on the building. Commissioner Sipes stated that the execution of the details is what is important. Minutes of PBZ Meeting March 5, 2002 Page 2 Commissioner Karow asked if this could be an approval like Lot C. Ruth Borne, Director of Community Development, stated that the mockup for Lot C was postponed and the details were approved after the building permit was issued. Mr. Dominick asked about galvalume and soffit details, would it be possible to be done during construction? Though this was not a public hearing, Chairman Evans asked if any members of the public present would like to comment on the proposed design and the mock up. Pat Hearn, resident of Wildridge, was concerned with the green metal and white windows. He doesn't like the colors. Mr. Dominic stated that the green and white relates to the spruce trees covered with snow, which are found in our local environment. Commissioner Sipes pointed out that the snow would be on sage not evergreens, which would correspond to the site's specific context. Chairman Evans stated that perhaps the Commission should go one by one down the list of items for a straw poll of approval. Commissioner Macik is abstaining from approving the details one by one. The Commission decided not to do the straw poll. Commissioner Wolfe has concerns with items K. The landscaping is not acceptable especially the tree sizes and the locations. Commissioners Karow and Macik have no comments. Commissioner Sipes still has concerns with the colors. Commissioner McClinton is concerned with the colors and comer connections. Chairman Evans states that the colors are not similar to the final design proposal and they should be. Additionally, details for the comers and soffits need to be provided. Mr. Dominic states that the colors may not be correctly perceived on such a small scale. The green is the standard color produced by the manufacturer. Chairman Evans replied that the colors are not being represented as proposed. Commissioner Sipes asked about the producers of other colors. Chairman Evans added that possibly one side of the building could be used as a mockup. Ruth Borne asked if the lighting fixture was acceptable? The Commission responded that it was closer to the requirements, but still not a full cut-off fixture as required by the guidelines. Chairman Evans made a motion to approve the submittal with the following exception that colors, comer and soffit details to be approved later. Commissioner Sipes seconded the motion. All Commissioners except Commissioner Macik approved the motion. VIII. SIGN DESIGN Lots A, Avon Center at Beaver Creek 100 West Beaver Creek Boulevard Applicant: Timeshares, Inc.

OTHER BUSINESS Minor Project Lot 21 Block 1 Wildridge 2165 Saddleridge Loop Applicant: Jim Aden, Homecrafters Modification to Final Design - change to one ridgeline. Ruth Borne gave the staff presentation and added that the applicant was fined for making changes without approval. Jim Aden, applicant, stated that he didn't know that he needed to submit revised plans, and that they needed this application because the party wall was built incorrectly. Chairman Evans asked what the pitch was now. Mr. Aden responded that it was still close to 6:12. Commissioner Sipes asked if the standard construction documents were given to the applicant prior to construction. Staff responded that they were. Pat Hearn, asked what the height actually was and if it could go any higher. He stated that he didn't want to allow it higher. Staff responded that the height was at 34.6 feet. Chairman Evans asked if this was the only change being made. Mr. Aden stated yes. Commissioner Wolfe asked if the different pitches would have been allowed during the original DRB. The Commission responded that it would not have. Chairman Evans stated that there have been other occasions that this has happened. Commissioner Karow stated that even when something is brought for review, whether it has been built or not, should review as a proposed development. Chairman Evans stated that was correct. Commissioner Sipes asked about the party wall. Mr. Aden stated that it was poured incorrectly and that the pitch was very close to 6:12. Chairman Evans asked for additional information. Staff stated that they could provide more and to table it to later this meeting. Commissioner Sipes moved to table and Commissioner Karow seconded the motion. Approved unanimously. Chairman Evans opened the review again. Chairman Evans stated that the change is actually affecting two ridgelines. Commissioner McClinton stated that to comply with the approved plans would be a great hardship however, approval should have happened prior to the action. Commissioner Sipes stated that this is a good argument for the compliance deposit. He also asked if the company have generally been quality contractors. Staff replied that they have been. Commissioner Macik has no problems with the application. Commissioner Karow stated that the application does not comply with items 4,5, and 6 of the design criteria. Commissioner Wolfe does not approve it just because it was a mistake. Chairman Evans, he agrees with many of the comments. The applicant understands what the rules are now. He agrees with the statement that the multiple roof pitches would not have been approved originally, however this change is not an adverse impact. He agrees that this is the one change as a mistake. There will be no further leniency for other problems. Minutes o/ PdZ Meeting March 5, 2002 Page 4 Mr. Aden stated that he did come in faithfully for this item but did not fully understand the process. He didn't believe that the pitch would make a difference to the design approval. Commissioner Wolfe stated that the mistakes must stop sometime. When is that time? Commissioner Sipes stated that this is exactly the type of situation that the compliance deposit was adopted for, and that few if any contractors would make assertions about design changes when a deposit with the Town. There have been many other battles that were better to fight. Chairman Evans states that the message must be sent but this may not be the right time. Jim McVey, investor and realtor, respects what the Commission is doing. He thinks that this (house) is a good product. Chairman Evans states that the problem is the roofs and the pitch and the change to the approved design without explicit permission from the Town. Commissioner Macik made a motion to approve the modification to final design and Commissioner Sipes seconded it. The motion passed 4 to 2 with Commissioners Wolfe and Karow opposing. X.
