VII. Municipal Code Text Amendments
Applicant: Community Development Department & John Dunn, Town Attorney
Description: There are two proposed Ordinances being proposed by staff to amend the
Avon Municipal Code. The first amendment is to Titles 16 and Title 17, relating to
applications for development and subdivision approval and the erection or construction of
improvements. The second amendment would affect Chapter 17.14 & Title 17, relating to
vested property rights.
John Dunn, Town Attorney, presented two ordinances to the Commission for consideration
to forward to Town Council. Mr. Dunn began with discussing his memo to the Commission
regarding the Vested Rights Statute of the State of Colorado and its impact. The vested
rights law in the town ordinances was a three year vesting and anything beyond required
Town Council approval. In 1998, an agreement was made for a 35 year vesting right for the
Village at Avon and the Confluence. Mr. Dunn continued by describing the changes as they
appear in the presented ordinance.
Commissioner Smith brought to light issues regarding material breach and who initiates the
breach. Commissioner Green questioned the intent of Section 5 - Amendment.
Mr. Dunn opened discussion on the second ordinance being presented regarding Amending
Titles 16 and 17, with Section 1 and addressing default by an applicant. Regarding the
language in Section 5. Amendment, Section 17.14.070, Title 17.14, Title 17 Avon Municipal
Code, Mr. Dunn clarified that 9 you get vested rights, get approval of a site specific
development plan, it does not mean you are not exempt from the Building Code. Applying
applicable codes outside of the zoning codes was a "good way of looking at if per Mr.
Dunn.
OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
Public hearing closed without comment.

be left to weather naturally. All wood deck material would be rough sawn. He continued that
in his discussion with William Gray, TOA Building Official, that fire retardant wood for the
balcony, that was present in the 1997 UBC, was not required to date. Mr. Heinen discussed
the colors of the stucco as yellow under the previous approval and the new color was not as
yellow. Mr. Heinen continued with discussion of the sills and their 3 dimensional look. Gutter
and down spouts would be bronze as originally approved. Commissioner Foster asked about
the gutters and the copper roofing in the mid line of the building and was confirmed by Mr.
Heinen. Commissioner Lane inquired where the downspouts would be located.
Commissioner Green liked the copper shingles and against the pre -finished look. Design
guidelines state that the Town prefers natural materials.

VI. Stonebridge Streetscape Improvements
Property Location: Stonebridge Drive & Eaglebend Bridge, Eaglebend Subdivision
Applicant. Town of Avon
Description: Overview of the proposed streetscape improvement project on ' Eaglebend Drive and
Stonebridge Road for construction this summer. This project consists of installing curb and gutter,
bus pullouts, streetscape lighting, and a separated pedestrian/bicycle path on the south side of
Eaglebend Drive. Also included is the replacement of the rails on the Stonebridge Road bridge.
Town Engineer Jeff Schneider presented the proposed Town improvements for Eaglebend and
Stonebridge Drive to include curb and gutter, separated bike path, and new bus stop, and new rails on
Stonebridge Drive Bridge. Mr. Schneider requested input on three specific elements including:
monuments, color, and lighting. He explained that the schedule was to begin bids in June after
gaining CDOT approval.
The Planning Commission review began with Commissioner Struve questioning the size and design
of the monuments and lighting. Color of the fixture was discussed and there were no color options
presented to the Commission. Commissioner Green requested a complete elevation of the bridge
(with human figures for scale) instead of individual details of the columns and re -iterated that the
lighting with HPS would not be approvable and that Metal Halide was the preference.
Commissioner Evans questioned the monument size and proportion in relation to the bridge. There
was further discussion on the light fixture design, what type of rocks being used for bases, and the
color and material of the rails of the bridge.
Commissioner Green move to table this item until next meeting in order -fbr more details to be
presented, with Commissioner Smith seconding. All commissioners were in�favor and the motion
carried with a 6-0 vote.
VII. Sketch Design Plan -Single-family y
Property Location. Lot 2, Dry Creek PUD, A Resubdivision of Lot 44, Btock 2, Wildridge / 2510
Old Trail Road
Applicant. Michael Sanner, Architect
Description: A sketch design for the second of three single-family homes in the newly created Dry
Creek Subdivision on Old Trial Road. A final design application for the first 161'was approved at the
Commission's April 4th meeting. Materials include cedar siding, asphalt and metal roofing, stucco,
and stone exterior.
Eric Heidemann presented staffs report to the Commission highlighting the th`& main areas of staff
concern: drainage and culvert design as it relates to future Lot 3 development,.the maximum square
footage of 4,000 square feet including garage requirement and possibI6.-exceeding, and the
architectural design as it relates to the design approved for Lot 1 that was approved earlier this year.
The main discussion revolved around the 'similar yet not identical' issue:' the architect was not
present but the property owner and developer, Trent Hubbard, approached Mb'podium to address
issues raised by staff. Mr. Hubbard clarified the square footage issue and stated that it was a drawing
error and would be corrected for the lower level. The culvert would be installed on the downhill side
as identified on the approved subdivision grading and drainage plan. The'limb of disturbance and
undisturbed area to northwest side of structure would be undisturbed: Mr. Hubbard read a statement
written by the architect concerning the similarity in designs between Lots1•; a@d.2. Roof colors and
fascia are different, while windows and siding are the same. ; • . -
Chairman Evans further discussed the similarity issue, and asked for elevations for all three structures
to better understand the development as a whole. He ekplained that the towers and the massing are
too similar with the two structures. Mr. Hubbard challenged the -Commissiorr;with• the idea of keeping
the cooling towers and making other changes and if that would be acceptable. Commissioner Green
suggested possibly keeping the towers, yet making modifications to the tower design.
There was°no action required for sketch design plans. M, ?
VIII. Transit Station Design Plan - CONTINUED �. �• .
Applicant / Owner. Town of Avon
Description: Design review for the proposed Transit Center Design including: shelter, pavement and
sidewalk materials, landscaping, and lighting. This item was first review by the,Planning Commission
at their April 4, 2006 meeting. G
Steven Spears made a presentation to the Commission to explain how he arrived at the current bus
layout given the parcels we have to work with, and after review of four different design options.
Alternative #2 was identified as the preferred design option for the site plan layout. The carpet
connection was highlighted and the visual energy moving north/south. The water feature and the
gondola were the anchoring points. i
The comments received by staff, Council and the Commission were presented to the Commission.
Changes to the proposal since the beginning included: exterior siding was changed to cedar, arch
bracing added to match lettuce sheds, gutters and downspouts were added, stone entrances were
slightly modified, the EastNvest gable windows and ventilation were added, and a color concrete band
was provided around the interior edge of the shelter to hold the trench drain.
Mr. Spears presented more design changes and updates for this project. The soils report has been
received, snowmelt was'currently under heavy review, there was coordination happening with the
Confluence developers, and a temporary shelter on Lot 61 was being contemplated.
Commissioner Green questioned the bus route and asked why the buses couldn't use West Beaver
Creek Boulevard in a counter clock wise circulation instead of doing a loop back around on
Benchmark Road. Mr. Spears explained the transportation planning reasoning for the proposed route
and the ECO bus preferences. Norman Wood mentioned making the Roundabout fully functional:
Tambi Katieb addressed the Commission concerning bus routes and the long range planning aspect
of this project. Discussion continued with the bus turning movements, timing of bus routes, and the
location of the transit center being situated between two high activity nodes in an ideal location.
Commissioner Green questioned the light fixtures and commented on the battered walls of the
shelter. The stone should not be angled with the step fashion of the walls; rather the stone should be
horizontally faced and stacked. Mr. Spears stated that this was the intent of the design presented.
Commissioner Savage did not agree with the design for the shelter since there was no relation to the
other buildings in the area. Commissioner Buckner appreciated the transit design and commented on
the areas where the glass would meet the ground and how they should be lined up on the short and
long sides of the building with matching heights.
Commissioner Evans moved to approve the transit center design plan as presented with staff
recommended conditions:
1. All lighting submitted is only conceptually approved, and will require submittal of a site
lighting plan in conformance with Chapter 15.30 ("Outdoor Lighting Standards") prior to
final construction document approval.
2. Seating in the Transit Shelter shall accommodate a minimum of 20 people.
3. A speed table/crosswalk at the entry to the Transit Center from both east and west
approaches shall be included in the plans prior to final construction document.
4. Signs shall not be internally illuminated cabinet signs. Signs will be fabricated out of
wood or metal, and illuminated only by the light fixture.
5. The road plan for railroad crossing from the Transit Center shall be revised to be
consistent with final approval of the material and paving concept.
6. A 15mph speed limit shall be posted for the extent of the Transit Center from both east
and west approaches.
7. A temporary connection shall be installed from the Transit Center to the existing Town .
mall until final approval of design plans for the Benchmark Court connection.
8. Modifications shall be provided as necessary to assure ADA compliance.
and the addition of the following conditions:
9. All paved areas added as part of this project to be snow melted.

Staff Report WTvi SPECIAL REVIEW USE C O L O R A DD O
May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date May 5, 2006
Project type Special Review Use (SRU) Permit
Legal description Lot 4, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision
Zoning Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
Address 147 Nottingham Road
Introduction
The applicant, L & H Auto Body Inc., is requesting a Special Review Use (SRU) Permit
to operate a vehicle service and repair facility. The types of service to be preformed on
site included "tire changes, oil changes, various filter changes, wiper blade and
batteries." In addition to these general maintenance services, the applicant is
requesting to perform auto body repair such as replacement or repair of bumpers,
fenders and touch-up painting.
The subject property is approximately .70 acres and is located on the south side of
Nottingham Road. The existing building includes 12 service bays and a caretakers unit
above the office. The property formerly operated as Golden Eagle Auto as an approved
SRU for automobile maintenance and oil and lube. However, according to the Town
records the property was both inactive and in violation (storage of junk vehicles) since
November 2005. Consequently, the previously approved SRU is no longer valid and the
new owner is required to obtain SRU approval.
The property is zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC), which according to the purpose
statement for that zone is intended to "provide sites for commercial facilities and
services for the principal benefit of residents of the community and also to highway -
oriented convenience commercial needs." Because the proposed land use in not
included in the list of allowed uses (Exhibit B), the applicant is requesting a SRU under
the category of "Automobile service station and repair."
The existing land use and zoning for the surrounding properties are as follows:
North: Undeveloped - Cottonwood PUD (planned hotel/residential)
South: Interstate 70
East: Undeveloped — NC (Neighborhood Commercial)

May 16, Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 5
West: Buck Creek Drainage/Batas Townhomes - OLD (Open Space,
Landscape, and Drainage)/RLD (Residential Low Density)
This application is a noticed public hearing with written notice provided to property
owners within 300' of the subject property. To date, staff has received no public
comment regarding the applicant's request.
Criteria for Review
According to section 17.48.040 of the Avon Municipal Code, the Planning & Zoning
Commission shall consider the following criteria when evaluating an application for a
Special Review Use permit:
1. Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements imposed
by the zoning code.
The proposed use is inconsistent with the authorized SRU categories enumerated in
the zone district. The NC zone permits "Automobile service station and repair"
through an approved SRU process; however the zoning code carefully defines this
use and explicitly prohibits auto body repainting or repair. Although the applicant
has stated that only "minor" auto body repair and painting will occur on site, the
zoning code does not distinguish between minor or major auto body repairs.
Therefore, this application does not comply with the requirements of the zoning
code.
Below is the current definition of automobile service station and repair:
"17.08.080 Automobile service station and repair. "Automobile service station and
repair" means any premises where gasoline and/or other petroleum products are
sold and/or light maintenance activities such as engine tune-ups, lubrication and
minor repairs are conducted; but shall not include premises where heavy automobile
(Ord. 91-10 §1 (part))."
2. Whether the proposed use is in conformance with the Town Comprehensive
Plan.
The areas within the Comprehensive Plan that offer policy direction relative to the
proposed land use are the Future Land Use Plan, the District #13 special area
policies, and the General Goals and Policies of the Plan.
The Future Land Use Map designates the property as Neighborhood Commercial.
The definition of Neighborhood Commercial is slightly different than the zoning
definition of neighborhood commercial in terms of preferred land uses. The Comp
Plan appears to be more descriptive in the intended uses that include "neighborhood
focused retail and services (such as markets, childcare, restaurants, and cafe's) that
are conveniently located and connected to surrounding residential uses." Based on
these uses, the application is inconsistent in terms of land use and intensity.
The subject property is also located within District 13: Nottingham Road Commercial
District (Exhibit C). These special area policies don't address this type of land use
other than to state that uses "should not compete with the Town Center in terms of
size of buildings or intensity of development."

Below is a list of regional goals and policies that are germane to the applicant's
request.
Policy B.1.9: Encourage redevelopment and revitalization of currently outdated,
rundown, or otherwise neglected areas.
Comment. The property has been inactive and left in deplorable condition for
several months. The applicant has made significant improvements to the site during
this time by removing junk vehicles and trash on the site. However, this application
does not propose any exterior modifications or enhancement to the site other than
what has already been done. Approving the proposed use diminishes our
opportunity to work with the property owner to redevelop the site as an alternative
use.
Policy C.1.1: Ensure that proposed development and redevelopment projects
conform to the Future Land Use Plan's designations and are at a scale and intensity
appropriate for the planning district in which they are located.
Comment: The property is currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial, which is
consistent with the Future Land Use designation of Neighborhood Commercial.
However, the intensity of the land use is inconsistent with the plan designation in
terms of prescribed uses.
Goal DA: Ensure that development and redevelopment is compatible with existing
and planned adjacent development and contribute to Avon's community image and
character.
Comment: The proposed auto body and repair use is not compatible with the
existing residential land uses to the west nor the planned residential land use to the
north.
Goal E.3: Increase the number of visitors to Avon by enhancing our attractiveness
as a destination resort community.
Comment: Because of the site's proximity to the interstate, the area serves as a
gateway to the community. Therefore, greater consideration should be given to the
opportunity to further enhance the site through possible redevelopment.
3. Whether the proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses. Such
compatibility may be expressed in appearance, architectural scale and
features, site design and the control of any adverse impacts including noise,
dust, odor, lighting, traffic, safety, etc.
Compatibility with existing and planned adjacent residential properties is staffs
primary consideration with this land use application. The proposed use is a highly
intensive land use that is inappropriate for this site primarily because of compatibility
issues with the surrounding properties. The existing residential uses several
hundred feet to the west and planned residential uses to the north coupled with the
proximity to the Buck Creek drainage makes this use inappropriate and for the area
and subject to adverse impacts (i.e. noise, odor).
Understanding that the building is designed for a single purpose - automobile repair,
and the site has historically been used for automobile repair, the intensity of the
Town or Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949-5749
Lot 4, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
May 16, Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 4 of 5
proposed land use is contrary to the intent of the zone district. Furthermore, staffs
recommendation is that land uses in this area transition from less intensive uses
(residential) to higher intensive uses at the roundabout (service station). As
proposed, the transition in land use is abrupt with residential uses adjacent to an
industrial type land use. The proposed use would better serve the community in the
IC Industrial/Commercial Zone district.
4. That the granting of the special review use requested provides evidence of
substantial compliance with the public purpose provisions, as outlined in
Section 17.28.085 of the Avon Municipal Code:
A. The application demonstrates a public purpose which the current zoning
entitlements cannot achieve.
The applicant has made a compelling argument for the demand for this type of
service in the community. However, a similar argument could be made for
demand for other uses permitted in the zone district (retail, restaurant).
Therefore, the application does not present a public purpose, which the current
entitlements could not achieve.
B. Approval of the zoning application provides long term economic, cultural
or social community benefits that are equal to or greater than potential
adverse impacts as a result of the changed zoning rights.
Staff believes that approval of the proposed SRU has potentially greater adverse
impacts to the existing and future land use in the area than the estimated long-
term economic impacts described in the application.
C. The flexibility afforded in approval of the zoning application will result in
better siting of the development, preserving valued environmental and
cultural resources, and increasing the amount of public benefit consistent
with the community master plan documents.
The property is currently developed will little opportunity for sitting of the
development or preserving valued environmental and cultural resources.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of the proposed SRU because the application fails to meet the
criteria necessary to recommend approval.
Recommended Motion
°I move to approve Resolution 06-10 thereby denying the applicants request to operate
a vehicle service and repair facility on Lot 4, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision.

Addendum to Avon Special Review Use:
This addendum is an attachment to the Project Information
section.
L & H Auto Body has been approached by Dollar Rental Car
Company to be able to set up a satellite location on this site. We have
agreed to provide office space and five rental car unit parking spaces for
their use. The addition of this fine locally owned company will add value
and convenience to the residents of Avon and will increase the tax base
for the Town of Avon. Included in this request is a valuable service to
our customers providing rental vehicles on site. Dollar Rental Car is
locally owned and managed and has been a part of the community for
many years.

Review Criteria
APR 1 4 2006
(immunity DeveloM61
A.) Yes. This operation is very clean, with brand new vehicles that
are kept clean and are serviced and washed regularly. Dollar'
main location at the airport will remain unchanged and vehicles
will be brought to L & H on an as necessary basis.
B.) Yes. Dollar Rental will be providing the community with a
much-needed service that will give residents and tourists a
choice that they do not have at this moment. Their local
facilities are fashionable and their image is unimpeachable.
This company will not place a burden on the community in
anyway and in fact will be a pleasant addition to the local tax
base.
C.) Yes. The L & H operation can and will take this company
under our wing and provide it with the highest quality facility
available. Clean, Quiet, and orderly. The neighboring district
to the east is commercial activity, filling stations, convenience
stores, restaurants, and other retail operations. To the west are
condominiums and this request will not impair their status.
Both L & H and Dollar are quiet, clean, operations that will not
increase traffic by any large extent and the parcel of land will be
well maintained to blend in with the present to enhance and
support the ambiance.
AVON DEVELOPMENT
Review Criteria for Special Review use,
Question One.
It is understood that it is the intention of the Development
Commission and the zoning regulations to provide for "the principal
benefit of residents of the community, and also to highway -oriented
convenience commercial needs". L & H Auto Body understands that the
Golden Eagle facility was licensed to operate as a "automobile service and
repair facility" and for the most part we intend to do the same with about
60% of our business going to these already approved uses. These
services will include tire changes, oil changes, various filter changes,
wiper blade and batteries.
Another 15% of the business will come from customers who drive
their vehicles in for an estimate on body repairs. Our estimators will look
over the vehicle, prepare an estimate for repair and arrange for a drop off
time for the customer to leave their vehicle for repair. These vehicles are
all drive -able that have slight damage that we must review to determine
where the vehicle will go for repairs. This, for the most part is a
professional office for official paperwork to turn in to respective
insurance carriers. This activity is office oriented and requires the use of
the telephone and fax machine, along with interaction with the customer
to insure that the job will be what the customer wants.
The one area of business that does not fall within the present
category but is not represented in the code accurately is light repair. In
the automotive world there are three categories for body repair. There is
light repairs, up to $2,000.00; medium repair, from $2,001.00 to
$4,000.00; and heavy repair that would include whole car painting,
engine exchange and transmission work, from $4,001.00 on up to the
value of the car. We will do only light repair that will entail taking off
broken parts and replacing them with new parts. This work is similar to
what was supposed to be done with the previous owner. Light repair is
not noisy, and it creates very little activity outside the building. It is
possible that some small parts will be painted, however many parts are
purchased already painted. Other than this issue, we believe that our
business will comply with all other conditions.

Review Criteria (continued)
Question 2.
L & H Auto Body believes after reviewing the Avon Comprehensive
Plan that we will be a model business that fits your plans and perhaps
will surpass your expectations. It is our belief that after looking over
your area and the business' that encompass your boundaries, we will be
welcome addition that will alleviate a lot anxiety that has been generated
in the past. Presently there are no employees on the site and tax revenue
is being lost. Sales and income in the town for automotive work are to a
large part going to other communities. Residents can not get quality
service with guarantees unless they travel a great distance from their
community.
When reviewing the land use section of your plan we believe that
we fit the requirements and the land will be used as prescribed. We will
offer service to both the residents and the traveling public. Our services
that we will offer are services that are limited in the city now but demand
for those services locally is very high. Presently we will conform to all of
the land use requirements and should surpass the esthetics listed in the
plan.
L & H Auto Body will probably hire between ten to twenty
employees once we are in full operation. The plan is for two hired right
away and before the end of the year four additional employees will be
added. These employees will be earning and average of $50,000.00 per
year. This could amount to a sizable sum for the city in terms of taxes.
Add to this the fact that many parts and services that we will use will be
purchased locally and that will raise the income to the local economy.
Conservatively estimated to be $500,000.00 per year, our business will
not only draw people from surrounding communities to Avon, we will be
servicing a large number of tourists who come to Avon for the recreation.
Question 3
Presently the use we propose is one that it had before, servicing
vehicles that need particular service. Some of the services are emergency
services and others are ongoing maintenance issues. In either respect, L
& H Auto Body fits the character and the ambiance of the area of service
oriented business that are adjacent to our proposed location.
Restaurants, Convenience Store/Fuel stations, Realtors, and Retail
Stores, etc. now surround us. Each of us will bring a level of customer
into Avon that will lend to the positive economic development that the
city seeks. Since we are a business that is generally low noise and no
high traffic it would not interfere with the uses of business in the RECEIVED
immediate vicinitv.
Synopsis of request:
APR 1 7 2006
L & H Body Shop is an elite automotive service center. our main
stay is of course collision repair, however we will have an emphasis on
service in Avon. The area is short of auto and truck service facilities and
the population in and around Avon has a great demand for this
business. We did not come to Avon by accident, our marketing pointed
us to it because it could be the next nucleus for high business activity in
the area. A growing town that wants to attract additional patrons from
other areas, to their economy and to service local populations needs
these quality services. They also want to be convenient. By the same
token, we believe that Avon wants a good neighbor who will contribute
substantially to the economic base with both local money and
surrounding community's money. We can do this because we offer
service that many people travel as far as Denver to get. There will be no
environmental impact at this location because only business office,
automotive servicing and light collision repair will be done at this
location. Medium and heavy repair work will be trucked to our other
locations that are set up with the equipment and personnel that can
handle it. We look forward to being a part of the Avon community and
are willing to listen to work with you in securing this special use request.
Thank you.
Compliance for 17.28.080
Public Benefit Criteria
Required for Special Review Use
1.) Present zoning allows certain specified businesses that
certainly would be a benefit to the community i.e.: retail stores,
professional offices, car wash, restaurants. Unfortunately that
pigeon holes the nature and type of business that while
comfortably fits within the neighborhood but the building
structure itself would not easily support most of these
endeavors. This building was designed to be an automotive
service and repair facility. It has the potential of being a
showcase for the entry point of the village and it should. In the
past this has not been the case and L & H is keenly aware of
the fact that this facility has been neglected and zoning
violations occurred as a common event. This will not happen
with L & H in an ownership position at this facility. L & H
Auto Body is a premier company with a rich history dating
back to 1948. We do not look like an average auto body shop
and we do not act like an average auto body shop. We have
every intention and we are willing to spend the dollars
necessary to insure that a showcase site will happen. We have
already started the process of cleaning up the place. We have
already spent more than $20,000.00 disposing of the junk
vehicles, engines, and transmissions that littered the place.
We have fixed the walls in the office area and painted it a
bright color to make it fresh and clean. We have repaired the
plumbing and cleaned up oil spills so as to avoid
environmental concerns. It is our intention to pressure wash
the entire shop area and paint the walls and install a finished
ceiling. Again, to make the facility fresh and clean.
All of these things add to the professional image and
aesthetics that L & H is known for carrying out. We would
propose that an eight -foot cedar fence be erected on the
perimeter of the vest side of the building extending to the
south side of the building. This fence will serve three purposes
and that is, it will serve as a buffer/shield and vehicles will
generally not be visible to passers by, it will act as a sound
•-A dcr_evt Mn n� .t.dn
barrier, and it will add to the ambiance of the grounds
themselves. We will repair the parking area all around the
building by filling cracks in the asphalt seal the entire lot and
stripe the lot with appropriate handicapped areas. It is also
our intention to professionally groom the area with trimming
and replacement of broken and dead trees.
The public purpose therefore is that the public will benefit
from the fact that the property will be under responsible care
and that the past eyesore and violations will not re -occur. The
gateway to the village will be dressed appropriately and will add
and enhance, indeed embrace the towns concept of area
compatibility.
2.) L & H presence at this property will provide long term
economic benefits to the community because its presence will
serve as a benchmark to other business that will come into the
area over time. Setting the example will go a long way to insure
that other businesses follow suit and in fact will help and
support each other in this endeavor. In a nutshell, support
begets support and the community is better as a result of the
joint efforts. This property has been vacant for a considerable
period of time and having a strong business in it will support
neighboring businesses. In terms of cultural and social
community benefits it is a fact that the Avon community is
poorly served in the area that we specialize. This statement is
based on the community response to our services thus far. Our
customers, your residents are telling us that the quality of
service, and the amount of time to get a vehicle repaired goes
anywhere from weeks to months before they get their vehicle
back. Since vehicles are generally the second most expensive
purchase most households have, two very prominent questions
arise: one, the value of the vehicle must be preserved, and two,
time without a vehicle becomes a major issue. We serve the
community. Fast service, quality repairs, at a fair price. That is
an important community benefit. By granting this Special
Review Use, you are assisting the public by making this service
available.
,.� dQc:7r on nv idu
3.) At one time this property was justly listed and carried as a
Special Review Use. We are certain that the Special Review Use
was granted because responsible people in the development
department of Avon seen that a viable business at this location
is a real asset to the community in many ways. Increased
consumer traffic, more needed services and an income stream to
the Town of Avon that is greater then an empty lot. L & H Auto
Body' plan for the area fits very nicely with the community
master plan because it is an environmentally friendly operation.
It provides a much-needed service whereby that service now is
somewhat short in supply. It will substantially add to the
economic base of the community through taxes paid by both the
business and the employees. Together this proposal makes a
lot of sense in that there are more positives in support of L & H
then negatives in this Special Review Request.

President/CEO
Our History!
L & H Auto Body was founded by Larry and Howard
Caldwell in 1948. They returned to the Denver area after
the war and initially opened what was called at (that time)
L & H Garage. In those early years most collision
repairers had a mainstay business doing mechanical work as
well as collision work. Larry and Howard were very good at
what they did and over a period of time became known for
their honesty, integrity, and a very high quality of
repairs. They were very successful and their reputation
was known throughout the Denver area. They continue for
the next forty years and then took their much-needed
retirement. In those days, for a business to last that
long, they had to be good. They had to be creative, and
they had to stand behind their work to the satisfaction of
their clientele.
Mr. Randy Massey purchased the business from the
Caldwells because he shared with them the commitment of
quality, integrity, and complete honesty to his customers.
The cMwells knew Randy and were very familiar with his
work. They felt comfortable that Randy would carry on the
business as they would themselves. Randy came to the
business with twenty-two years of experience that ranged
from the small shop to the large dealership. over the years
Randy felt constrained because the general industry didn't
seem to cater to the customers needs in terms of quality
and service. At the same time new technology, which Randy
was very familiar with came along and many shops choose to
ignore it. Randys' purchase of the L & H business started
the process modernizing and the business procured state of
the art paint booths, unibody equipment, and many tools
that were designed for our modern vehicles. After
equipping the shop with the tools necessary to provide the
service that Randy envisioned, he then grew the business
from the small operation (of about 5,000 square feet) to
our new, modern facility of 15,000 square feet. The
business went from a four -person shop to just under 40
people today.
In addition to the main westside store, Randy opened
up a north store in Erie, Co. About 30 miles away from the
main store, the north store is a brand new facility facing
the busy highway of I-25. This facility is designed to
meet the needs of the large vehicle such as trucks or RVs.
The North store is poised for growth and is located in the
heart of one of Colorado's highest growth corridors.
In retrospect, the growth of L & H Auto Body, Inc. is
attributed to the integrity of the people and the quality
of its repairs. Both Randy and L & H prescribe to the
theory that a quality repair at a competitive price and a
company you can trust is what L & H is all about.
LL H Auto Bod-7—Inc.-as a company:
L & H Auto Body, Inc. is a full service collision
repair center. we have the equipment to meet almost every
need that may present itself. we repair services for all
makes and models of vehicles. That would include cars,
trucks, SUVs, and motor homes. It is not unusual to see us
working on fleets for the business industry or local
government
We have in our locations, the ability to set up and get rental cars
for our customers, and we have towing available whenever it is
necessary. L & H Auto Body, Inc. will work with your insurance
company or the insurance company that is responsible for repairing your
vehicle. While we work for you, knowing the insurance carriers makes
the process so much easier for the customer. Whether you own the
vehicle or lease it, we are here to help you maintain the value that you
have paid for. When you drive in to any of our facilities, you are greeted
at the front door and your situation is assessed in a friendly manner. An
experienced, professionally trained Repair Process Manager goes with
you to the damaged vehicle to review with you what needs to be done to
repair your vehicle to pre -accident condition.
All of L & H facilities pride themselves in specializing in invisible
repairs. This is an important concept that customers should insist on
because the value of the vehicle that has been in an accident depends on
how well the technicians that repair your vehicle did their -job. Our
technicians are experienced, trained, and take pride in their work. Their
attention to detail is unsurpassed and cannot easily be matched by other
shops. Our technicians care about your investment and they
understand your frustration with the situation you find yourself in at
that moment.
Estimates are always free and our people are willing to take the
time to explain procedures of repair or to simply answer any questions
that you may have. Customers that are well informed about the repair of
their vehicle will always benefit from the knowledge and feel more
comfortable with the process. When we take in the vehicle for repair, we
intricately take the vehicle apart to the point of repair to insure that all
damaged components are exposed and a plan to repair or replace them is
created. Along with the insurance company, we determine what needs to
be done (repair Vs replace) based on what is best for your vehicle. When
we replace parts, we only use the highest quality parts and we custom fit
those parts by hand to insure that the repair meets our invisible
standards. The strength and integrity of the repair is as good and in
some cases better than the manufacturer designed.
The finish on your vehicle is important to insure that the invisible
repair is a reality. We use PPG paint products and they are known
throughout the world as the leader in quality paint products. Their
systems and our paint specialists can match any color of paint that
exists. Their skills in coordinating color match are extraordinary and the
finished product is something to behold. We are so confident that you
will be please with the results of the work done on your vehicle (both
body work and paint work) that we give you a lifetime warranty on that
work. As long as you own or lease the vehicle we will stand behind the
work that we did.
No appointment is necessary because we understand that peoples
lives sometimes do not follow set schedules. Accidents happen and we
are ready to serve your needs at the time you need them. Our costs are
extremely competitive and we will work with you to insure that you get
good value for your money. Our buildings and grounds are clean,
attractive, and well maintained. L & H Auto Body, Inc. strives to be a
good member of the community and goes to all lengths to insure that we
blend into the neighborhoods that we reside in. We give back to the
community by fitting in and doing business right.
What L & H will do for the Avon Area:
• L & H Auto Body, Inc. is a wholly owned company that has a
finicky owner that insists that any company that comes into a
community must bring value to that community. Randy Massey
goes to great effort to insure that his buildings and grounds are
attractive, well maintained, and that the area is clean and
presentable. He believes that the attractiveness of his facilities
plays a major part in drawing his customer base and that can be
proven with the two facilities that he has now. Both were
considered problem areas and Randy cleaned them up, put the
time and money into bringing them up to his standards and
keeping them that way. Most of his customers are either people
who have come back to him or have been referred to him from
other customers.
• Based on insurance companies' figures it is estimated that the
Avon shop will do about $160,000.00 per month in sales. Over
twelve months, that amounts to around $1,920,000.00 per year if
the analysis is correct. With close to 2 million coming in to the
community the tax benefits speak for themselves. Much of this
money now is going to other communities and the benefit to Avon
proper is negligible.
• The Avon facility will employ when fully operational, about six
professional people. Their salaries will range from $45,000.00 to
$110,000.00 per year. Besides the tax benefits, these people live
in the area and will spend a great deal of that money in the
community helping other businesses in the area grow their sales.
• Businesses in the Avon area will benefit from the increased traffic
generated by L & H customers. Most of our customers will shop in
the area, eat in restaurants, rent vehicles, and spend money for
other services while they work with us.
• L & H Auto Body, Inc. will itself use local services for much of their
needs throughout the year for parts, supplies and services
necessary for the business to operate at the levels predicted.
• The community will benefit from the fact that they will have a
service that they now have difficulty locally and frequently have to
go to other communities to obtain the same. They will have a well-
known company to provide high quality services and will not have
to travel great distances to obtain them.
• The facility that we are purchasing has been empty for a
considerable period of time and prior to that had tenants that did
not maintain the town's high standards. The rules for the Special
Use Permit were not followed and for the town that became
problematic. With L & H the town will experience compliance with
the rules, the attractiveness of the site, and a viable business that
will ensure that the site is a benefit to the community.

Memo
To: Planning and Zoning Commissioners
From: Matt Pielsticker, Planner IW
Date May 9, 2006
Re: The Gates on Beaver Creek (formerly Chateau St. Claire)
3rd Mockup Review
Introduction
1
AVON
C O L O R A D O
Scheduled for this meeting is the final review of materials and colors for the Gates on
Beaver Creek project. The Commission most recently reviewed the on-site mockup at
the May 2, 2006 meeting where additional feedback was given to the applicant.
Discussion at the last meeting was focused on the stucco and gutter/downspout
colors. The applicant has made revisions to these two items on the mockup and is
requesting final approval during the regular meeting on May 16th.
Please refer to the attached (revised) mockup design labeled as Exhibit B. Since last
meeting the applicant has revised the bottom stucco color and has provided two
potential color options with: Sherwin Williams "Netsuke" on easterly half of base, -and
Sherwin Williams "Ivoire" color on western half. Two gutter color options are now
provided on the mockup including: "Royal Brown" and 'Bronze". Both gutter options
and the revised stucco colors appear acceptable and more appropriate for this project.
Background
The Amended and Restated Development Agreement for the above-mentioned
property, approved by Town Council on December 13, 2005 (Ordinance 05-12), sets
milestone events and schedules deadlines for specific events to occur. As required by
the Development Agreement, there is deadline of May 31, 2006 to conclude approval
of all outstanding design issues "including on-site mock up and remaining design
issues."
To this date, all design items have been approved except for the final mockup review
to approve building materials and colors. Most recently the Planning Commission
approved the Lighting and Landscaping Plans at their March 21, 2006 meeting, and
re -reviewed the mockup on May 2, 2006.
Gales on Beaver Creek - Mockup
May 16, 2006 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
The on-site mockup is ready for Commissioner review from now until the meeting on
the 16th. Since there will be no formal site tour on the 16th for this item, staff and the
applicant would request the Commission visit the site and review the mockup on their
own time. Please note that the construction fence will be closed on the weekend. The
final action will take place during the regular meeting. At the meeting the applicant will
have real life samples for review in the meeting chambers.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending approval of the revised mockup design with either gutter color,
and the Sherwin Williams"lvoire° stucco color.

Staff Report
May 02, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
April 26, 2006
New Building - Minor Project
Tract N, Block 3, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision (ERW&SD)
GPEH (Government, Park, & Employee Housing)
945 West Beaver Creek Boulevard
Pete Siebert, project manager for the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District, is
proposing a stand alone building on their property between the railroad tracks
and the Eagle River. The footprint of the proposed building measures 44' x 28'
and is situated between the main plant building and the bike path.
This building would match the "odor control building" which was approved and
installed last year, with building materials including horizontal wood siding, green
metal roofing, and metal doors. There would be skylights similar to the odor
control building as well.
Design Approval Criteria
According to Section 7 from the Residential. Commercial, and Industrial Design
Guidelines, the Commission shall review all design plans utilizing specific Design
Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Town of Avon Zoning Code.
The proposal is in compliance with all of the requirements imposed by the
Town of Avon Municipal Code. Total site coverage for the property, including
the new proposed building, would be approximately 28% with an allowed 50%
coverage.
2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains.
The property is located in District 20: River Residential District, according to
the Comprehensive Plan and is labeled as a Low Priority District. According
to the Comprehensive Plan "the major design influences are U.S. Highway 6,
Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949.5749
the riparian environment along the Eagle River, and public access to the
river."
The Comprehensive Plan puts emphasis on residential development and
redevelopment in this district and the need to be sensitive to the riparian
environment. One of the planning principles that staff would like to highlight
is:
Use Sensitive site planning, architectural detailing, articulation, and
appropriate setbacks, color, and scale of structure to preserve the
character of the river and its associated natural habitat.
This building will be highly visible from US Highway 6 and therefore should
blend in with the river environment. Staff would suggest the addition of trees
near this proposed structure since there is a lack of landscaping in this area
of the property.
3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed
Improvements.
Not applicable. No density is proposed on this property.
4. The Design plan Is In general conformance with Sub-Sectlons A through
D of the Residential. Commercial, and industrial Deslan Guidelines.
A. Site Development: A site plan is attached to this staff report to show the
location of the building on the property in relation to other existing structures.
Some grading is required for the piping to this new building and the pipes
would ultimately be buried underground. Grass would be replaced as it exists
today.
B. Building Design: The guidelines require that all colors shall be earth tone
in color and shall blend in with the natural setting. Colors shall not exceed a
light -reflective value (LRV) of 60 percent and this application appears to
comply with the Guidelines.
The Guidelines limit roof pitches to 6:12 - 12:12, except for limited roof areas
for mechanical, etc. This application proposes a 4:12 roof and staff would
recommend that a 6:12 roof be utilized in order to fully comply with the
Guidelines.
C. Landscaping: Staff is recommending that landscaping be incorporated
into the approval of this structure. There is some existing landscaping on this
side (river side) of the property. Please refer to the attached photographs to
see the existing improvements.
D. Miscellaneous Items: The Design Guidelines require accessory
structures on the building site "to be compatible with the design and materials
and utilized for the main building structure."
S. The compatibility of proposed Improvements with site topography, to
minimize site disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope,
Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949-5749
and minimize benching or other significant alteration of existing
topography.
There is limited site grading required and the area where the foot print of this
building is proposed Is relatively flat.
6. The appearance of proposed Improvements as viewed from adjacent
and neighboring properties and public ways, with respect to
architectural style, massing, height, orientation to street, quality of
materials, and colors.
As mentioned, this building would be highly visible from Highway 6 and could
be viewed from the bike path adjacent to the Eagle River. As addressed in
the Town Comprehensive Plan, the high visibility of this property should be
acknowledged and landscaping could help this building blend in with the
nearby river environment.
The colors and materials appear to be appropriate. The applicant originally
proposed masonry walls instead of wood siding, and has altered the proposal
following staff's recommendation.
7. The objective that no Improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others
in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be Impaired.
While this building would be extremely similar to the odor control building, no
monetary or aesthetic values should be impaired.
8. The general conformance of the proposed Improvements with the
adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
This project is in general conformance with the adopted Goals, Policies, and
Programs for the Town. Additional landscaping would help the overall
appearance of this addition and project in total.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending conditional approval of the proposed UV Building on Tract
N, Block 3, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision.
Recommended Motion
I move to approve the UV Building for Tract N, Block 3, Benchmark at Beaver
Creek Subdivision with the following conditions:
1. At least 3 trees in compliance with minimum size requirements Imposed
by the Design Guidelines, and shrubs will be added near building.
2. A 6:12 roof pitch will be utilized with this building.
3. Except as otherwise modified by this approval, all material representations
made by the applicant or applicant representative(s) in this application and
In public hearing shall be adhered to and considered binding conditions of
approval."
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please
call me at 748.4413 or stop by the Community Development Department.

Staff Report AT
Sketch Design Plan CON LO RA DU
May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date May 10, 2006
Project type Duplex
Legal description Lot 47, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD: 2 Units — Residential Duplex
Address 5141 Longsun Lane
Introduction
Rick Dominic of Aker Architects is proposing a duplex on this 3/4 acre property
on Longsun Lane in Wildridge. The total square footage of the building is 7,000
square feet; with each unit would be approximately 3,500 square feet in size.
The predominant materials include wood siding, stucco, and it appears to be a
metal roof design.
A Sketch design for this property with an extremely similar design was reviewed
by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their April 4, 2006 meeting. At that
meeting the Commission discussed the design concept at length and tabled the
application for further development and for the applicant to address their
concerns. Most of the discussion at the April 4th meeting revolved around the
difficulty (steepness) of the property, the mirror image appearance of the 2 units,
and the alternate design option of using two driveways instead of one.
The property is on the downhill side of Longsun Lane and bordered by a
developed duplex to the south, a vacant duplex parcel to the north, and Open
Space Parcel O at the bottom of the property to the west where a water pump
station is located. There is a 30' Utility Easement that splits the lot in half. The
existing topography is steep, with some of the grades adjacent to Longsun Lane
near 40% at the property entrance, which is a result of the fill material used when
Longsun Lane was originally constructed.
Staff Comments
Although in general conformance with the Design Guidelines, this application
appears to conflict with some of the requirements included in the Guidelines,
particularly the 'duplex development' guideline and some of the site design
principals. The duplex guideline states that "while'mirror image' duplexes are
not supported the design intent should be one that creates a unified structure
with enough variety and architectural interest to distinguish a duplex from a
single family home."

Architectural interest is provided to distinguish this structure from a single-family
home; however, the north and south elevations have a mirror image appearance.
Some additional interest has been introduced to the north and south elevation to
help distinguish the two units.
As with the previous review, a perpendicular (24' this design/14' previous) access
from Longsun Lane is proposed which eventually splits into two driveway areas
for each unit of the duplex. There are limited areas for vehicles to turnaround in
the driveway. The Guidelines state that "the blending of access with the natural
contours of a site ...... is important in establishing a successful access." The
proposed access is contrary to this design philosophy working perpendicular to
the road and existing grades. A fair amount of fill material is required for this site
design, access, and building layout to function.
Drainage would need to be demonstrated at final design in the motor court area
to show how water will be taken from the driveway around the structure. As
stated, the parking layout should be reviewed since there are limited areas to
park and/or turnaround outside of the two garages. Parking and loading design
is significant in avoiding conflict in duplex projects.
The roof plan Indicates that all roofs will utilize large south facing 3:12 shed roof
forms. The Commission must determine whether this roof type is appropriate for
the neighborhood. The roofing material appears to be metal, and must be called
out at final design submittal.
Building height is difficult to determine with this sketch submittal and appears to
approach the maximum allowable. No exceptions to the height requirement will
be made except for any penetrations that may add architectural variety, such as
with the chimneys.
The Residential Design Guidelines state "all designs shall be compatible with
existing built structures, the immediate unbuilt environment, and the design
philosophy of the Town." Staff is concerned that this design plan could be
incompatible with adjacent structures and the design should be reviewed
carefully against adjacent developments. Additional building materials could
benefit
Design Review Considerations
Staff and the applicant would like to focus the Commission on the difficulties that
this property introduces. The lot presents significant design challenges primarily
due of the nature of the steep existing topography; therefore careful
consideration should be given to how this design relates to the site and if the
presented design is responsive to the topography.
The Commission shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the specific
Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:

May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date May 9, 2006
Project type Duplex
Legal description Lot 3, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD - 2 Units
Address 5786 Wildridge Road East
Introduction
George Plavec Is proposing a Sketch Design application for a duplex near the
top of the Wildridge PUD on Wildridge Road East. The property is an uphill lot
and bordered by the following: developed single-family home (west), Wildridge
platted open space & White River National Forest (north), a developed duplex
(east), and Wildridge Road Right -of -Way (south)..
The proposed structure is three stories with each dwelling unit would measure
approximately 4,150 square feet with the entire building measuring 8,300 square
feet. The building would be comprised mainly of stucco with some bevel lap and
stone veneer siding.
Site Design
The Design Guidelines put emphasis on site layout design. Structures should
blend in with natural settings and the need for extensive site grading and slope
retention should be avoided. Additionally, buildings should be stepped in
appearance where practical. Site access shall blend with the natural contours of
the site. The driveway vehicle entrance is at the southeast corner of the property
at the highest possible access point in order to work with the existing grades.
The driveway entrance is compliant with the guidelines with a 4% initial grade for
the initial 20' perpendicular to the roadway, eventually ascending at a maximum
of 10% grade to reach the building. There is the need for 8-10 feet of retainage
above the driveway between the driveway and the lower level of the eastern unit.
The plans call out two separate 4' boulder retaining walls in this location.
Additionally, there is a 4' wall running the length of the downhill side of the
driveway.
Staff is concerned with the limited area for vehicle maneuvering on-site. It would
be difficult for cars leaving either garage door to back out or turnaround to head
down the driveway. Staff would ask the applicant to address this concern with
limited driveway mobility.

May 10, 2000 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 3
The building footprint stretches from one side of the property to the other, with
decks or structural elements bordering both side yard setbacks and the front 25'
setback. It is not advised to push development so close to any building setback
which results in little room for error during construction with the proposed building
location and design. Approximately 7/10 of an acre would be disturbed during
construction with this proposed building.
Building Design
As noted, the building is rather large and pushes three building setback lines as
proposed. Building height also appears to reach the allowed 35' maximum height
requirement. There are three levels to each side of the duplex with the lower
levels buried on the north elevation. It is questionable whether the third garage
parking space for each shown in the plans would qualify as a space. Using the 9'
x 18' Town standard it is difficult to accept this third car space.
The building materials are of high quality and appropriate for the project;
however, there appears to be a lack of attention paid to the back (north) side of
the structure with limited windows and large expanses of stucco. Although at a
conceptual level, building materials are generally: stucco, bev lap siding, asphalt
shingles, stone, and heavy timber elements for decking and to add interest.
The guidelines encourage fenestration or architectural interest articulation on
large exterior walls to break up massing. According to the guidelines, "at a
minimum no single wall plane should exceed 70% of the elevation of any
exposure." Further, "breaks in the wall plane should form at least a 2 -foot
step/setback." The north side of the building could benefit from further
articulation or varied building materials.
In terms of architectural interest the project utilizes a combination of arched
forms, heavy timbers, and varied building materials to help break up the mass.
All roof pitches equal 6:12 for the building which is in compliance with the
Guidelines. The adjoining garage doors and deckstwindows on the south
elevation appear to have a mirrored impression. Additional color and building
material variation may benefit this design.
A complete landscape plan and all exterior lighting would be reviewed with a final
design submittal.
Staff Comments
This design application appears to be in general conformance with the Town of
Avon Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Design Review Guidelines. Many
of the site development guidelines involve siting improvements to complement
the existing topography and limiting the extent of site disturbance. The
presented design appears to conform to the general intent of the guidelines;
however, staff would ask the applicant to be able to address the following areas
of concern:
• Limited auto mobility
• Building Height and Setback Maximization

• Mirrored appearance of middle portion of building (south elevation)
Design Review Considerations
The Commission shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the specific
Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code.
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A
through D of the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and
Industrial Design Review Guidelines.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will take no formal action on the sketch
plan application. Rather, direction on the design will be given to the applicant
from Staff and the Commission to incorporate in a final design application. A full
size plan set will be available at the Work Session for review.

May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date May 10, 2006
Project type Single -Family Residence w/Accessory Apartment
Legal description Lot 24, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD - 2 Units
Address 5786 Wildridge Road East
Introduction
Andrew Abraham is proposing the "Farr Homestead", a single-family home (with
potential accessory apartment) on Coyote Ridge road in Wildridge. This is a
custom designed home for Mike Farr who is the property owner and builder. The
architecture includes barn features, stable, silo, corncrib and other farmhouse
elements.
The home is extreme in size with a total of 11,300 square feet of enclosed space.
There are seven enclosed parking spaces with 1000+ square feet of living space
above, and several 'wings' composing the structure which is connected by
bridges.
The proposed building materials are of high quality and include: dry stack stone
veneer siding, wood siding (both vertical board on board, and horizontal 4" board
on board), rusted corrugated metal corten siding and roofing, metal clad
windows, metal/glass doors, heavy asphalt 'watersheild shingle roofing, and
wrought iron newels. The applicant is exploring the possibility of using reclaimed
wood siding for the "Barn" portion of the home.
Site Design
The property is 1.61 acres and is situated on the downhill side of Coyote Ridge
on the cul-de-sac. Existing grades are relatively steep off the roadway for the
initial 25', which is most likely a result of roadway fill material during construction
of Coyote Ridge. The grades lessen once onto the buildable portion of the site
and the lot is clipped in half by a platted 30' Utility Easement.
The provided survey is partial and includes a note indicating that the land was
under 2' of snow at time of survey. There is a boulder shown on the survey
which is visible in the field and can be used as a great benchmark to understand
the location of the proposed building. At final design staff would require a
complete survey without snow note.

May 10 2005 Planning & zoning commission meeting Page 2 of 3
Access to the site is provided with a 12' driveway which starts at a 40/6 grade and
ranges from 8% to 10% where it wraps around the garage portion of the building
to lower garage. The grades leaving the westerly garage door on the main level
may reach up to 10%, which is not advised. The Design Guidelines require no
more than 4% grade for the first 20' of the driveway entering a site and leaving a
garage door.
According to the Residential Design Guidelines, "buildings should blend in with
natural settings... and be limited in the need for extensive site grading and slope
retention." The amount of site disturbance is significant with the proposed site
'layout. And while there appears to be a limited need for retaining walls with the
site design, staff would encourage the Commission to review the expansive
footprint of the structures and resulting disturbance required for construction.
The building would be visible from properties on Coyote Ridge and from on
Wildridge Road heading down from Wildridge towards Wildwood Road.
Building Design
As noted the building Is expansive, sprawling development in all directions. The
design is a composition of three large masses: three story ("Barn") structure with
two levels of parking and living space above, the main portion ("Dairy section") of
building with kitchen, living, dining, entertainment uses and bedrooms, and the
third major potion is the sleeping quarters ("Farmhouse") including master
bedroom to the far east of the project in a separate wing. All elements are
connected with bridge features and/or other architectural features such as the
entry silo.
The Design Guidelines state that buildings should blend in with natural settings
and be stepped in appearance where practical. The design of the home does
step down in appearance from the Barn building down the existing topography of
the site to the Farmhouse. The top of the Barn roof would be approximately 18'
above the cul-de-sac road grade, with the 'Dairy' section ridges 7' above road
grade, and the Farmhouse roof V above road grade.
There is architectural interest in this design with a variety of building and roof
forms, terraces, and different building materials and areas of application. The
Guidelines state "buildings should be oriented to take advantage of solar gain
and view corridors.... and should generally minimize impacts on view corridors of
neighboring properties." While this design takes advantage of view corridors, the
effects to the neighboring properties views should be reviewed as this guideline
requires.
In terms of massing, the Guidelines state that "residential buildings should be
designed as a composition of mass elements rather than larger single 'blocks'
that appear unrelated in form and context." This design appears to conform to
this design guideline.
Staff Comments
This application must be reviewed against the adopted Town of Avon
Residential Commercial. and Industrial Design Review Guidelines. Many of the

site development guidelines involve siting improvements to complement the
existing topography and, limiting the extent of site disturbance appear to be
relevant with this design review. Additionally, nail designs shall be compatible
with existing built structures, the immediate unbuilt environment, and the design
philosophy of the Town." The Planning Commission should determine if this
unique design is compatible with the immediate neighborhood and the adjoining
open space.
The presented design presents a challenge to review with the angled building
footprint, different building wings, and resulting partial elevations included in the
plan set. The applicant and architect will be at the meeting to discuss the
progression of the project from the beginning of the design process to the current
design. It sounds as if the home continued to grow in size from its original
conception. Staff continues to struggle with the size of the home and its
relationship to the immediate neighborhood.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the specific
Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code.
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A
through D of the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and
Industrial Desion Review Guidelines.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will take no formal action on the sketch
plan application. Rather, direction on the design will be given to the applicant
from Staff and the Commission to incorporate in a final design application. A full
size plan set will be available at the Work Session for review.
Staff would encourage the Planning Commissioners to visit this property before
the meeting to become familiar with the property, views, and surrounding
neighborhood character.
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please

FINAL DESIGN PLAN AVON
C O L O R A D O
May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date May 4, 2006
Project type Single -Family Residence
Legal description Lot 2, Dry Creek PUD, A Resubdivision of Lot 44,
Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD - Single Family (4,000 sq. ft. maximum)
Address 2510 Old Trail Road
Introduction
Michael Sanner is proposing a Final Design application for a 3,875 square foot single-
family residence in the Dry Creek PUD. The subject property was created by approval
of a PUD Amendment and subdivision application. In August of 2005 the Town Council
approved the Dry Creek PUD, an amendment to Lot 44, Block 2 of the Wildridge PUD.
The approval down zoned the property from one fourplex structure to three (3) single-
family residences.
Access to Dry Creek is accomplished by widening the bottom portion of the existing
driveway on Lot 45 (developed property with one duplex and one single-family
residence immediately to the west) to 17' and entering Lot 44 before an existing
landscaping berm and planted trees at the property division.
The proposed home is three stories with two enclosed parking spaces. The building's
exterior would be comprised mainly of wood siding (vertical board/batten) with generous
amounts of stone on the lower level. More stucco has been introduced to this design,
and the cooling tower feature was removed from the plans since sketch design review.
Sketch review for this design plan took place at the Commission's April 18, 2006
meeting where the Commission focused comments on the tower feature, and the
extreme similarity to the approved Final Design Plan for Lot 1 of Dry Creek.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Design Review
Guidelines, Section 7, the Commission shall consider the following items when
reviewing this project:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Town of Avon Zoning Code.

Lot 2, Dry Creek PUD, Wildridge Subdivision - Final Design Plan
May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 6
• Allowed use: The proposed single-family residence is a permitted use on the
site.
• Density. The lot is zoned for a single-family home not to exceed 4,000 square
feet in size. This design is in compliance and just below the maximum allowable
square footage requirement proposing 3,971 square feet (including garage area).
• Lot Coverage: Maximum building coverage allowed under the Western Sage
PUD is 40%. This project is in compliance with the PUD proposing 11.5%
building lot coverage.
• Setbacks: The setbacks for the property are typical for the Wildridge
Subdivision. There are 10' setbacks border all four property lines of this property.
All building setbacks have been adhered to with this submittal. This project
would approach the northern building setback line.
• Easements In addition to the typical Utility and Drainage Easements of 7.5' in
width bordering the property, there is an Access, Utility, and Drainage Easement
for the benefit of access to Lot 2 and Lot 3 of this PUD. The driveway and 22'
diameter turnaround area appear to be located completely within the Access
Easement. The Access Easement is approximately 55' in width along the
eastern property line.
• Building Height The maximum allowable building height for this property is 35.'
This design is in compliance with the applicable zoning, and staff would request a
framing Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) to be submitted and approved by
the Town to verity compliance with this zoning requirement during construction.
Most ridgelines are no greater than 30', with a chimney element reaching 34' in
height.
• Grading/Drainage: The Site Plan indicates that most of the drainage will move
around the upper portion of the lot in an east to west direction above a boulder
retaining wall. There is also an 18" culvert between the garage and the
turnaround area to take drainage through this property from Lot 3 above. The
grading and drainage appear to be functional.
• Parking. The Dry Creek PUD zoning requires a minimum of 4 parking spaces,
with a minimum of 2 enclosed spaces. This design is in compliance with the
applicable zoning proposing 2 indoor parking spaces and the ability to park 2
additional spaces outside of the garage.
• Snow Storage: There are general areas called out on the site plan for snow
storage. At least 750 square feet (20% of paved surface) of storage area must
be provided, and the plans call out 550 square feet of area. There appears to be
areas available for more snow storage and this zoning requirement would need
to be clearly demonstrated at building permit submittal.
2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains.

Lot 2, Dry Creek PUD, Wildridge Subdivision - Final Design Plan
May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 3 of 6
The Comprehensive Plan puts limited emphasis on the Wildridge PUD, which is
referred to as 'Sub area 24' - a Low Priority. This plan is in general conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed Improvements.
Adequate development rights exist on the property for one dwelling unit.
4. The Final Design plan is In general conformance with Sub -Sections A through
D of the Residential Design Guidelines.
A. Site Development:
o Site Design: The Residential Design Guidelines put emphasis on site
layout design, sensitivity to solar orientation, and sensitivity to existing and
potential buildings in the vicinity. Structures should blend in with natural
settings and the need for extensive site grading and slope retention should
be avoided in all designs.
The site design for this lot is somewhat limited due to the access
easement location. It appears to work with existing grades and takes
advantage of solar orientation.
o Site Access: According to the Design Guidelines (Table 1.0), driveway
grades should not exceed 10%, and no more than 4% entering the site
and garages. The access drive is composed of a 14' asphalt section with
1' gravel shoulders on either side. The grades for the access drive are 9%
and the driveway for this property is between 3-4% leaving the garage
towards the turnaround area, and in compliance with the Guidelines.
o Parking and Loading: The minimum parking standards have been
adhered to with this design.
B. Building Design:
o Building Materials and Colors: There is a variety of high quality materials
proposed. The home has large amounts of cedar siding, stucco, and
stone veneer siding. A color board will be available for Commissioner
review at the meeting. The stone, metal roofing, and window color are all
identical to those approved for Lot 1. Staff would recommend a new
stucco and window color to further differentiate these neighboring
properties.
o Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Architectural Interest As with the design of Lot
1, the roof pitches vary with 6:12 pitch for the main ridgelines and a 10:12
pitch for the corrugated metal roofing.
Exterior walls benefit from varied planes and materials. The resulting
massing appears appropriate and architectural interest has been added to
each elevation of the project. Dormers have been introduced to the
windows of the garage.
o Outdoor Lighting. A lighting cut sheet has been provided for two types of
light fixtures. There is one low wattage path light fixture for walkways

Lot 2, Dry Creek PUD, W ildridge Subdivision - Final Design Plan
May 16.2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 4 of 6
(Type A) that complies with the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance and one
building mounted fixture (Type B).
The wall mounted (Type B) fixture appears to be in conflict with the Town
of Avon Outdoor Lighting Ordinance since the bulb may be visible. This
fixture must be replaced with a compliant fixture prior to building permit
submittal. Both proposed fixtures are the same as the Lot 1 submittal.
C. Landscaping:
o Design Character. • The Landscape Plan proposes 6 Colorado Blue Spruce
trees ranging in size between 8' and 10' in height. In addition there are 8
Ash trees (2.5"-3" caliper). There would be a mixture of shrubs, and
Kentucky Bluegrass sod is proposed to surround the structure. All
disturbed areas would be revegetated with native grass and sage brush
and would receive temporary irrigation until established.
The PUD requires at least 35% landscaped area, and this project
proposes approximately 68% landscape area. The Design Guidelines
allow 20% of the landscaped area to be permanently irrigated, and this
project proposes 29% irrigated area. Staff recommends that the
'irrigated area' be reduced in order to comply with the Guidelines.
Specifically, the sod area should be reduced with a new landscape plan.
5. The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to
minimize site disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and
minimize benching or other significant alteration of existing topography.
The proposed improvements appear to conform to the site topography. It is
important to note that the majority of the lot, except for the extreme western portion,
would be disturbed with this design.
6. The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and
neighboring properties and public ways, with respect to architectural style,
massing, height, orientation to street, quality of materials, and colors.
This project will be visible from the other future homes in this PUD, from the Canyon
Oaks development to the south, and the existing duplex and single-family home on
Lot 45 to the northwest. The applicant has proposed high quality materials and
earth tone colors that should make this project compatible in scale and appearance
with the surrounding environment. Again, staff would recommend a different stucco
color be substituted.
7. The objective that no Improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others In the
vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
This review criteria was discussed at length at the Commission's sketch review that
took place in April. The design of this lot is extremely similar to the approved Final
Design plan for Lot 1 of Dry Creek PUD.
Some of the changes that were applied to further differentiate this design to that of
Lot 1 include:
• Variation of roof, trim, fascia, porch, siding, and window colors.

Lot 2, Dry Creek PUD, Wildridge Subdivision - Final Design Plan
May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 5 of 6
• Cooling tower feature removed.
• Main garage material changed from wooding siding to stucco. Dormers were
added to the garage windows.
• Covered screened porch added.
•
All wood siding is vertical board/batten, whereas Lot 1 had a combination of
horizontal lap siding and vertical board/batten.
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted
Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
The project is in general conformance with the Town's adopted goals and policies
and is a use by right per the Dry Creek PUD.
Staff Recommendation
Staff is recommending this final design application be conditionally approved. Please
refer to recommended motion below.

Mixed Use - Hotel/Commercial
The Confluence PUD
PUD
0095 Avon Road
Introduction
The applicant, East West Partners Inc., is proposing a Sketch Design application for the
Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa. This is the second hearing of their Sketch Design
application; the initial hearing took place at your March 7'", 2006 meeting. During first
hearing, both the Commission and staff had requested the applicant clarify or provide
additional information on specific areas of their design proposal.
The applicant has provided the information requested and the extents of the proposed
revisions are outlined in their attached memo (Exhibit A). Understanding this will be the
first review for the recently appointed Commissioners, staff has also attached the prior
staff report and meeting minutes (Exhibit B) for your review. Staff would also request the
applicant briefly summarize their overall design process, beginning with their initial
design of the hotel during the PUD amendment process, during the Commission review.
The items staff requested the applicant address at this meeting are: the residential and
commercial unit mix and square footage, clarification of materials and colors including
compliance with the Light Reflectivity Value (LRV) standards, proposed outdoor lighting,
snow shedding and snow storage analysis, and more details of the first two levels of the
building along the plaza level and courtyard. In addition to the items noted by staff, the
Commission requested clarification on the texture or facing of the structural retaining
walls for the plaza and hotel, and the need for more interest added to the northern
fagade.
Included in your packet are revised colored elevations (11 x 17), and full size plan sets
as requested by the Commission. The plan sets contain floor plans, elevations, building
sections, roof plan, and a parking and land use summary. Staff will also have a copy of
the previously submitted material at the meeting if the Commission is interested in
seeing the changes made relative to the first submittal. The massing model submitted
as part of the PUD amendment approval will also be available during Commission
review.

Background
The Riverfront PUD is located on an 18.9 -acre parcel that is bounded to the south by the
Eagle River, to the east by Avon Road, to the north by the railroad right-of-way, and to
the west by the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District. The PUD includes seven lots
with multiple buildings and land uses proposed. The Riverfront PUD was approved by
the Town Council on March 141°, 2006 through the adoption of Ordinance 06-03.
Included in the ordinance were several condition of approval, one of which was the
adherence to site specific design guidelines. Those guidelines are intended to serve as
the guiding design document for all the structures on the site, with the exception of the
hotel. Because the design of the hotel was developed prior to or during the PUD
amendment process, the hotel was excluded from the guidelines applicability.
Therefore, the hotel design will be evaluated against the Town's Commercial Design
Guidelines. The scope of this Sketch Design review is the hotel building, which is
programmed as a condo -tel and includes a spa facility, meeting space, restaurant, retail,
and professional offices.
Staff Comments
The design of the proposed mixed-use hotel building generally conforms to the Town of
Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Design Review Guidelines. The
architectural style is contemporary, with pitched roofs, stepped facades, and recessed
windows. One of the dominant characteristics of the project is the orientation of the
hotel, which provides important scenic value as well as efficient use of solar exposure.
According to the Design Review Guidelines, the main components of commercial site
design that should be considered throughout the design development process'include:
• Building, walls, roofs, ridgelines, eaves, and other architectural features
• Service, loading, refuse collection areas and storage areas
• Special user amenities (i.e. pedestrian plazas)
• Outdoor dining areas
• Linkage and coordination elements with surrounding uses
These areas were reviewed in detail during the first Sketch Design review. The focus of
this report is on the supplemental information provided by the applicant as well as
changes made since that initial hearing.
Building Design changes:
The two most notable changes to the building design are the changes made to the
easternmost wing of the hotel building and the added features to the northern facade.
The applicant has added additional units (4, 2 -bedroom units) to the fifth floor of the east
wing. This has caused a change in mass and roof form in a discrete area of the building.
The shed roof, which had once terminated and stepped down, has been extended
further south over the new units. These revisions appear relatively minor to the overall
scale and mass of the building.
The applicant has also added features to the north facade since the last meeting. A
stone "tower" element has been added to further animate the north elevation. In addition
to these two changes, the applicant has also reduced or eliminated several chimney
elements and made changes to the gondola operations building.

Material Changes/ LRV:
The applicant has also made several changes to the color and material of the building.
The overall color of the building is a darker rich color, which in staffs opinion is preferred
because of its earth tone quality. The building includes two types of texture and color of
stucco. Both colors of stucco are stated to have LRVs of less than 25%. The applicant
has also estimated LRV standards for most materials and colors, the exception being the
"Titus" recycled rubber roof and stone veneer. According to the Town of Avon
Commercial Guidelines, all walls and roofs of buildings, retaining walls, and accessory
structures shall be earth tone in color and shall blend in with the natural setting. Colors
shall not exceed a light -reflective value (LRV) of 60%. Given the shade of green
proposed and the earth tone colors of the stone veneer, the reflectivity value should be
relatively low, and therefore the applicant appears to have satisfied this requirement.
The proposed building materials have remained the same with the exception of the
metal siding that wrapped around the top floor of the building. The metal panel siding
has been removed from the top floor in place of a darker band of stucco. The details of
the proposed materials and transition of material is shown in detail on the enlarged wall
section elevations provided.
Building Height
The maximum building height permitted for the hotel is 135'. As submitted, the proposed
building measures approximately 133' at the highest point. This maximum building
height is located at the highest ridgeline of the primary "tower" and is carried at a
distance of approximately 110 linear feet. The 100' feet at the maximum building height
represents less than 1/3 of the total ridgeline of the building. From there it drops
approximately 20' along the 4:12 pitched roof.
Maximum building height was a topic that was discussed at length during the PUD
approval. Much of the discussion revolved around the notion of stepping the structure
down as it approached the river. The applicant's willingness to minimizing the extent of
the highest ridgelines resulted in considerably lower building height for the two wings of
the building. The eastern wing of the building measures 73' at the highest point, and the
western wing of the building has a maximum building height of 79'. These heights are
important to the scale and environment along the plaza and courtyard areas.
Unit Summary
The residential and commercial unit mix has been included in the revised plans. Staff
has reconciled the residential and commercial density based on the PUD entitlements
and associated development standards. The proposed design complies with all
minimum development standards (building height, parking ratios, commercial and
residential density).
Parking
Based on the proposed residential and commercial unit mix provided by the applicant,
staff has reconciled the parking plan with the minimum development standards adopted
as part of the PUD amendment. The minimum standards, or ratios, are based on the
land use categories outlines on the PUD Development Plan (Exhibit D). The total
required parking for the shared use structure is 330 stalls.
Of the total required parking stalls, the building design features 10% compact spaces, 8
handicapped spaces, and 64 tandem stalls. In terms of compact spaces, the PUD
Town of Avon Community Development (970) 7484030 Fax (970) 949-5749
Confluence PUD, Hotel Sketch Design
May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 4 of 4
permits a maximum of 10% compact spaces for the entire Riverfront PUD. Therefore,
reconciliation of compact spaces will not occur until the final phases of the development.
For the handicapped spaces, Section 1106 of the International Building Codes requires
a minimum of 8 handicapped spaces, which is what is provided. The handicapped
spaces are located in areas where accessibility to the elevators is relatively easy.
The other area of parking is the tandem spaces. These tandem spaces were permitted
in concept, with the understanding that they would be managed through a valet parking
program, all of which would be outlined as part of an overall parking management plan.
Remaining issues
After discussions with the applicant, it is expected that (1) the snow shedding and snow
analysis would be addressed by the applicant during Final Design Review, and (2) a
sample of the precast concrete will be available at the meeting. The applicant will also
be required to provide cut sheets for any proposed lighting on the exterior of the building.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission and Staff shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the
specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code.
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D of
the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Design Review
Guidelines.
The Commission will take no formal action on the sketch plan application. Rather,
direction on the design will be given to the applicant from Staff and the Commission to
incorporate in the final design application.
Staff will provide full plan sets for you to provide written comments and guidance to the
applicant at your May 16, 2006 meeting. If you have any questions regarding this project
or any planning matter, please call me at
748-4009, or stop by the Community Development Department.

RE: Submittal for May 16`h P&Z Meeting
Dear Tambi and Eric,
The following outlines the content of our submittal for the May 16, 2006 Planning &
Zoning Commission meeting.
In response to comments and questions from the Planning and Zoning Commission on
the Westin Riverfront Hotel Sketch Plan during their March 7`s meeting as well as
requests from Town Staff, we have resubmitted a full sketch plan packet with the
following additions and updates:
o Large-scale elevations of certain portions of the building. These large-
scale elevations also feature a corresponding plan view to help the
Commission better understand fagade articulation.
o 11 x17 copies of the revised colored elevations of the hotel along with an
updated materials image. The materials application and color scheme has
been changed to add more interest to the north fagade. In addition, a stone
tower element with metal shed roof has been added to the northeast wing
to help further animate the north elevation. What was previously
contemplated as metal paneling at the top story and other selective
locations has changed to a darker stucco. Certain chimney elements have
been reduced or eliminated. Additional units have -been added to the 5's
floor of the southeast wing. The windows into the showers on the north
side of the building have been changed to hardi board due to privacy
concerns. The exterior treatment of the gondola lifthouse and public
restroom building has been redesigned in response to the Commission's
concern over the aesthetics of the prior design.
o Program summaries for all spaces in the hotel. The Commission
specifically requested this at their March 7s' meeting. This has been
updated per the latest design changes to the hotel and included on the site
plan. ,
o A table of estimated LRV Values for all exterior materials, in response to
Staffs request to better understand material reflectivity.
o Roof plan overlaid on existing topo, in response to Staff's request.
o Sample of precast wall (which is not included in the submission but will
be brought to the P&Z meeting), in response the Commission's request to
better understand this material.
Sincerely,
Andy Gunion

Introduction
The applicant, East West Partners Inc., is proposing a Sketch Design application for the
Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa. The proposed hotel building includes a hotel
programmed as a condo -tel, a spa facility, meeting space, restaurant, retail, and
professional offices. As the Commission is aware, the Confluence PUD includes seven
lots with multiple buildings and land uses. The scope of this Sketch Design review is the
hotel building, which are the improvements planned for Lot 2, including the internal
courtyard area and terraces extending down towards the Eagle River. The public plaza
and the associated building for public restrooms and gondola lift operations will be
reviewed at a later date along with the required master landscape plan.
Included in your packet is a colored rendering of the entire eastern end of the PUD
development, colored elevations, floor plans, roof plans, and sample materials. Also
attached to this report is a formal sunshade study demonstrating the solar impacts of the
proposed structure relative to different times of the year. In addition, the massing model
submitted as part of the PUD amendment approval will be available during Commission
review.
Staff has asked the applicant to provide a land use summary for hotel room units (studio
units, 1 -bedroom units, 2 -bedroom units, and 3 -bedroom units) and floor areas for the
spa, meeting facility, restaurant, retail space, and office space. In large part, this
information is important to determine compliance with the PUD entitlements, particularly
density and required parking. Unfortunately, this information was submitted late and
staff needs clarification of the material provided. Therefore, staff would request that the
applicant present the land use summary during the Commission review. Staff will
reconcile parking, uses, and density prior to Final Design Review.
Its important to note that Council approved the First Reading of Ordinance 06-03
approving the amendment to the Confluence PUD on February 28'", 2006. All design
approvals will be subject to the approval of Second Reading of Ordinance 06-03, which
is scheduled for public hearing before the Town Council on March 141h, 2006.

Staff Comments
The design of the proposed mixed-use hotel building conforms to the Town of Avon
Residential Commercial and Industrial Design Review Guidelines. The architectural
style is contemporary, with pitched roofs, stepped facades, and recessed windows. One
of the dominant characteristics of the project is the orientation of the hotel, which
provides important scenic value as well as efficient use of solar exposure. According to
the Design Review Guidelines, the main components of commercial site design that
should be considered throughout the design development process include:
• Building, walls, roofs, ridgelines, eaves, and other architectural features
• Service, loading, refuse collection areas and storage areas
• Special user amenities (i.e. pedestrian plazas)
• Outdoor dining areas
• Linkage and coordination elements with surrounding uses
Roofs/Wall/Materials
In general, the rooflines vary in form, pitch and relative length of continuous ridgeline.
The Commission's review of the massing model during the amendment process resulted
in minimizing the maximum building height of the heights ridgeline. Staff believes the
highest ridgeline does approach the maximum height allowed of 135ft, however, of the
entire section of the hotel 110 linear feet is proposed at the maximum building height.
Staff will have a better understanding of the true height of all ridgelines with more detail
that will be provided during Final Design Review.
It should be noted that both staff and the Commission have encouraged appropriate
terracing of the building heights as an important objective in this proposal. This was also
reaffirmed in the district policies of the Comprehensive Plan. As a result, the applicant
has made several revisions to the hotel building that reduced massing and further
terraced the wings of the building.
Although not specifically called out on the plan sets, the roof pitches appear to vary
throughout the building adding to the architectural interest. The project does include two
areas where flat roofs have been utilized; these areas are above the proposed
restaurant and service loading area along Riverfront Drive. Flat roofs are generally
discouraged due to potential ice buildup and water damage.
Snow shedding is a concern that must be carefully considered during Commission
review. Building entries and shop fronts must be located out of the path of shedding
snow. Because there appears to be areas where snow and ice may accumulate,
particularly along the plaza frontage and internal courtyard, staff would ask that the
applicant address these areas during Commission review.
The guidelines also suggest the use of roofing materials that is durable, weather
resistant and suitable for environmental conditions encountered in this area. The
applicant is proposing the use of "Titus" recycled rubber roof as the primary roof
treatment as well as areas of standing seam metal. This rubber roof product was
introduced early on in the PUD amendment process and was well received by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. However, because of the unfamiliarity of the product,
the Commission has asked that the applicant apply the material to a mock-up to
demonstrate the impact of the regions relatively high UV exposure. Staff would also

request that the applicant demonstrate compliance with the LRV standards to ensure the
color does not exceed 60%.
The exterior walls of the building are articulated through the use of different materials,
patterns, textures, and color. Stone and wood siding would be applied to the base of the
buildings, two types of stucco are proposed on the body of the upper walls including
chimneys, and metal panel accents and trim are applied throughout the building.
Although the overhangs for the building are relatively shallow, other projections such as
canopies and variation in roof form provide the necessary interest.
The proposed colors of the walls appear to be earthtone, however the applicant will need
to demonstrate during Final Design that all walls and roofs of buildings, retaining walls,
and accessory structures shall be earth tone in color and shall blend in with the natural
setting. Colors shall not exceed a light -reflective value (LRV) of 60
Solar Access Study
As required by the Commercial Design Guidelines, a solar access study has been
provided for Commission review. The study shows the conceptual shade analysis for
the entire property at two times of the day, 10am and 2pm, at four times of the year:
March 21st, June 21st, September 21st, and December 21st.
The study indicates that a fair portion of the road and other heavy traffic areas (i.e. port -
cohere and turnaround drive, plaza between hotel and gondola) would be shaded for the
winter months at early hours of the day. Special attention should be paid to the
surfacing of the public plaza area; this will be one of the highest activity areas of the
entire project. Staff would recommend a heated plaza to provide a safe and inviting
environment.
While it appears that there is minimal effect on adjacent properties to the north, during
the shortest days of the year shadows would cast on some buildings on the other side of
the railroad tracks. The orientation of the hotel building appears to take advantage of
the solar exposure and views to the south and is in compliance with the Design
Guidelines.
The loading area for the hotel is located on the north side of the structure where access
is most convenient. Although not noted on the plan, staff assumes this loading are will
also serve as a refuse storage area. The guidelines require that all trash receptacles be
screened from public view, be accessible by collection vehicles, and be incorporated into
building design. The proposed plans appear to abide by these guidelines, however staff
would ask the applicant to clarify whether this area serve as a refuse storage area.
The following is a list of item that staff would request the applicant address further during
Sketch Design Review:
a Summarize unit mix and commercial square footage
❑ Materials and color including compliance with the LRV standards
❑ Outdoor lighting
❑ Snow shedding

Design Review Considerations
The Commission and Staff shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the
specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code.
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through of
the Town of Avon Residential Commercial and Industrial Design Review
The Commission will take no formal action on the sketch plan application. Rather,
direction on the design will be given to the applicant from Staff and the Commission to
incorporate in the final design application.
Staff will provide full plan sets for you to provide written comments and guidance to the
applicant at your March 7, 2006 meeting. If you have any questions regarding this
project or any planning matter, please call me at
748-4009, or stop by the Community Development Department.

Lane
Applicant: Sam Ecker/Owners: Sam Ecker, Bruce 8 Susan Baca
Description: A request for an amendment to the Wildridge PUD to allow for three (detached)
single-family residences in place of two duplex structures. This amendment would permanently
reduce the density for the properties by one dwelling unit. A new lot would be created for the
third single-family residence and the vehicular access to the new lot would be accessed from
Wildridge Road East. Also being reviewed is a Preliminary Subdivision application. Avon Town
Council, at their January 24, 2008 meeting, remanded this application back to the Commission
for reconsideration. This item was tabled from the February 21st meeting at the applicant's
request.
Matt Pielsticker presented the Staff Report and history of this project.
Sam Ecker, applicant, approached the podium to present this project to the Commission and
began by stating the restriction of the residence to 5,000 sq ft, dedicating 50%of the current land
to Open Space, and public benefits were discussed. Commissioner Green questioned the
applicant's comment that this project reduces the area's usage by 25% and Mr. Ecker
responded that it eliminates one home from two duplex -zoned lots.
Commissioner Green questioned Staff of the existence of similar projects in the Wildridge
Subdivision and Staff responded that it had not been done in this fashion with two adjacent
` property owners. Staff continued that developers, having two adjacent lots, had subdivided
prior to construction to create three single-family lots. Commissioner concerns revolved around
setting a precedent for single-family erected structures coming in and forcing adjacent owners to
comply. A discussion regarding the deeding of Open Space ensued.
OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
There was no public input provided.
CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING
Commissioner review began discussing that a 5,000 sq It home to include garage as
appropriate. Commissioner Struve mentioned that the Dry Creek Subdivision was restricted to
4,000 sq ft. homes. Commissioner Green was concerned with setting precedent, reviewing a
restriction to 4,000 sq ft home, and building envelope along with a need for research into similar
situation. Commissioner Smith requested more documentation on development rights,
concerned with setting precedent, and limiting square footage. Commissioner Struve discussed
precedent and how dedication of substantial open space to Town of Avon might work.
Commissioner Green asked staff for additional information regarding other areas in Wildridge
Subdivision that may be affected.
Commissioner Green motioned tb table this application in order to provide the applicant the
opportunity to structure an appropriate easement or conveyance of Open Space that can be
quantified, drawn and shown on a final proposal and that the language of that conveyance be
reviewed by the Town Attorney prior to the meeting to be sure ft is appropriate for what we are
asking for in this meeting and to also allow staff to come back to us and show us, in Wildridge,
any areas that might be applicable for a precedence to be set by this. And, that we restrict the
building envelope that the size of the building on the site, should ft be approved, that ft not
exceed 4,500 square feet GFA plus the garage and the giving up of the development rights.
Commissioner Struve seconded the motion. All commissioners were in favor and the motion
passed unanimously.

IX. Sketch Design Plans
A. Confluence - Riverfront Subdivision Hotel Building
Property Location: Confluence/95 Avon Road
Applicant: East West Resorts / Owner Vail Associates
Description: The applicant, East West Partners Inc., is proposing a Sketch Design application
for the Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa. The proposed hotel (wilding Includes a hotel
programmed as a condo -tel, a spa facility, meeting space, restaurant, retail, and professional
offices.
Eric Heidemann presented the Staff Report.
Chuck Madison approached the podium to begin the presentation and discuss materials to be
used on the project. He also presented a Building Area Summary, which was not included in
the packet but requested by staff. This summary revealed total building area at 482,865 square
feet with 139,602 square feet dedicated to parking. Mr. Madison continued that staff had
requested a unit count and it totaled 208 units made up of 121 hotel rooms with 5 one bedroom,
51 studios, 62 2 -bedrooms and 18 3 -bedroom units.
Commissioner Green requested detail materials transition in a full size plan set for Final Design
examination purposes as well as building sections in order to understand articulation of facades.
The plaza and public spaces and master -landscaping plan will be presented in separate
applications. Commissioner Savage commented that the view of the front of the building from
the Avon Center needed more of a "wow' factor. Commissioner Buckner mentioned that this
area was substantial in size and lighting and landscaping could be enhanced for effect.
Commissioner Buckner continued with comments on the pedestrian wall to the river and its
impact, suggesting a ribbed texture with landscaping. Mock up presentation was to be
submitted to the Commission sooner than later. A snow management consultant will be
presenting snow solutions. The refuse and recycling area were discussed and its impact.
Mentioned was the great importance that the Plaza has to the town.
Mr. Madison mentioned that they would attempt to provide as much material as a possible for
the next meeting. Tambi Katieb voiced concern for the gondola termination points and Mr.
Madison remarked that it was presented to Town Council at their last meeting and would
provide it to staff. Mr. Katieb mentioned the Arts Council and appropriate places for its future
placement in conjunction with the Town Center Plan.
B. Wuhrman Duplex
C
Lot 70A, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision / 540 Nottingham Road
Applicant/Owner. Gerald Wuhnnan
Description: A sketch review for a duplex located on Nottingham Road immediately east of
Bristol Pines and Beacon Hill Condos. A similar design plan has been presented to the
Planning Commission at previous meetings. The structure is constructed mainly with wood
siding and features stackable condo design with two separate garages on the entry/ground
level.
Matt Pielsticker presented the Staff Report.
Commissioner Struve questioned the optional floor plan, if it were for either floor and the
response was positive. Gerald Wuhrmann approached the podium for Commissioner questions
and discussed the drainage and roof issues. Mr. Wuhrmann would like to trade off the stucco
with masonry and use stucco instead of lapboard. Commissioner Savage suggested that the
chimney and the siding should be different materials. Commissioner Struve commented on the
other elevations to break up all the stucco. Commissioner Savage questioned the driveway with
Mr. Wuhrmann trying to get approval from the adjacent property for access.
Commissioner Green expressed that the garage was too short, the height restriction on the
building was according to Code and could not be varied, and disagreed with the applicant's
Interpretation for a boring look to the rear elevations with a suggestion of a hardy plank stained
for interest, perhaps making the roof a deck was a better solution than mere access to the roof
for maintenance issues, and told Mr. Wuhrmann the project needed a better design.
Commissioner Struve questioned the game room on the ground floor, the applicant responded
that it was to be a common amenity. Commissioner Struve remarked that the colors have to be
earth tone, siding was okay, mansard roof was okay, and landscaping would be critical at final
approval. Commissioner Buckner commented that something was missing from this project and
suggested to speak with a local design and concept professional, suggested a flat gabled roof
with forms to move the flatness, a mansard roof was not a consideration, needed to see a mock
up of the materials being considered, and commented that the basement was an opportunity to
sell with window wells and natural light to enhance the project. Commissioner Smith concurred
with the other commissioner comments, commented that elevations needed help, and the sides
of building needed reconsideration.
XII. Other Business
A. Comcast and cable issues are being worked on with Scott Wright and Town
Attorney, to address issue.
B. An amendment to Title 8, Nuisance Code, would be scheduled before the
Commission within the next month.
C. East Avon redevelopment plan to be presented within the next month or so.
D. Housing needs assessment study will begin soon.

May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date May 11, 2006
Project type Residential Condominium
Legal description The Riverfront PUD
Zoning PUD
Address 0095 Avon Road
Introduction
The applicant, Zehren and Associates Inc., have submitted a Sketch Design application
for the Riverfront Lodge. Riverfront Lodge is a 75 -unit whole ownership condominium
building located on Lot 4 of the Riverfront Subdivision, formerly know as the Confluence.
The Riverfront Lodge is governed by a set of site-specific design review standards that
were adopted as part of the Riverfront PUD amendment. The expressed intent of the
standards is to create high quality architectural design through the use of varied roof
forms, wall plane articulation and quality building materials. It's important to note that
the Town of Avon Residential and Commercial Design Guidelines may augment these
standards where necessary through the final design approval. Attached are copies of
the guidelines, which are also referenced in the application material submitted.
Because of the size and scale of the building, coupled with the unfamiliarity with the
recently adopted design standards, staff recommends that the Commission take a
slightly broader approach to the design review of this application. Unlike the Westin
project, where there was a tremendous amount of design related detail provided through
the PUD amendment process, the Riverfront Lodge and the applicability of a new set of
design standards will be unfamiliar to most and therefore the review of this application
will most likely take several meetings.
This initial report will focus on three basic elements of the project: site layout and design,
circulation design, and building scale and mass. Evaluating these basic design
parameters against the expressed intent presented by the applicant in their submittal will
be helpful as we move forward in the review of more details. There is also a planned
site tour, with the comers of the building staked, that will aide in the initial review of this
application.
Staff Comments
The design of the proposed building generally conforms to the intent of the Riverfront
Design Standards. As the applicant has stated in their application, the architectural
style does appear to blend or balance between an urban architectural style found in the
Town and the mountain architecture found at Beaver Creek. The proposed building also
blends well in terms of style and material with the proposed Westin Hotel (similar roof

May 16, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of
material, pitched roofs, stepped facades, and recessed windows). However, staff has
identified areas where the design appears to be inconsistent with the stated purpose of
the guidelines, particularly with respect to the roofline and how that relates to overall
scale and mass of the building.
Site design
Lot 4 of the Riverfront Subdivision is bounded to the north by Riverfront Lane and to the
south by the Eagle River, which has a 75' building setback (measure from the mean
annual high water mark). In addition, the site is further constrained by steep topography
that steps down towards the river along the western property line. Therefore, the
proposed east -west orientation of the building responds well to both the natural and
manmade constraints on site as well as takes advantage of solar exposure.
The site grading and drainage appears to be well developed. All drainage appears to
drain away from the structure and the use of retaining walls has been minimized. There
are two areas on the site where retaining walls are required to stabilize the slopes. The
first area is located around the bend of the bike path and access point to the parking
structure. These walls range in height from .5' to 10'. The second area is a series of
walls immediately north of the recreation path along the river. These walls range from 4'
to 6' in height. The bottom two walls will have a 4' planter bench to screen the upper
wall. In all areas, there appears to be no slopes in excess of a 2:1 slope. For
clarification purposes, staff would request the applicant provide a section of the walls
along the bike path for the Final Design Review submittal. Also, please indicate to what
extent the existing aspen trees will be preserved in plane at this location.
The site design also features a recreation path along the eastern end of the building.
The recreation path would traverse the site from the north to the south and tie into the
existing recreation path along the river with Riverfront Lane. It is staffs understanding
that the construction of the recreation path is part of the Subdivision Improvement
Agreement (SIA) between the Town and the property owners, and will likely be in place
prior to the construction of the Riverfront Lodge.
Circulation Plan
The proposed parking and circulation plan includes two levels of below ground parking
which would be accesses from Riverfront Lane by way of a circular drive. The entry
grades range from approximately 4% to 9%. The proposed grade and access conditions
are reasonable given the proposed snowmelt system for the access drive and the
demonstrated snow storage area (see sheet C005) along the circular drive at the
entrance of the building.
The minimum parking required for the whole ownership condominium units is 1.2 spaces
per unit. The applicant is proposing 1.28 spaces per unit for a total of 96 spaces (75
units @ 1.28). All propose parking stalls appears to be standard dimensions, however,
staff would request the applicant confirm the number of compact spaces (if any) and
recalculate the minimum required handicapped spaces. The minimum number of
handicapped spaces appears to be deficient.
Building design:
The proposed building is 5 floors (including penthouse) with a maximum building height
of approximately 94'. The maximum allowed height is 95', which is measured from
existing grade. The range in building height for the top ridgeline is between 84' and 94'.

Staffs concern with the building height is that although no point on the building meets or
exceeds the maximum allowable height, the ridgeline elevation (7502') is carried across
the roof with only minor interruption in elevation.
According to the Riverfront Design Standards "to ensure the rooflines are interesting and
contribute to the overall success of the building massing, roof ridgelines are limited to
150' before they change in height". The two ends of the building step down
approximately 10', which meets this intent. However, approximately 80% or 335' is
either at or near the maximum ridge height. With prior concerns expressed about the
overall scale and proportion of this building and the monolithic appearance, more
attention should be given to the ridgeline to further break up the scale and mass of the
building.
Other than the ridgeline height, the roof forms have lots of variation and interest. The
roof forms vary with pitches ranging from 3:12 to 8:12.
The facades of the building include skewed balconies and deck to further break up the
mass and add interest. The standard described in the guidelines include "on any given
elevation, 80% of the vertical wall plane can be on the same plane, with a minimum of 2'
offset for plane change." The exterior walls of the building are articulated through the use
of different materials, patterns, textures, color, and angled porches.
There is one area where the building encroaches into the minimum 75' setback. The
area is located on the south east corner of the building where a deck/balcony lies a
couple of feet with that boundary. However, according to note 9.a on the approved PUD
Development plan, minor encroachments for decks and balconies are permitted subject
top design review.
Snow shedding is a concern that must be carefully considered during Commission
review. Building entries must be located out of the path of shedding snow. Because
there appears to be areas where snow and ice may accumulate, staff would ask that the
applicant address these areas during Commission review.
The guidelines also suggest the use of roofing materials that are durable, weather
resistant and suitable for environmental conditions encountered in this area. The
applicant is proposing the use of "Titus" recycled rubber roof as the primary roof
treatment as well as areas of standing seam metal. Recycle rubber roofing, along with
the concrete composite siding, wood trim, and stone base help tie together this project
with the overall Village design.
Solar Access Study
As required by the guidelines, a solar access study has been provided for Commission
review. The study shows the conceptual shade analysis for the entire property at two
times of the day, 10am and 2pm, at four times of the year: March 21st, June 21st,
September 21 st, and December 21 st.
While it appears that there is minimal effect on adjacent properties to the north, during
the shortest days of the year shadows would cast on some buildings on the other side of
the railroad tracks. The orientation of the hotel building appears to take advantage of
the solar exposure and views to the south and is in compliance with the Design
Guidelines.

Lot 4 (sheet L-1). Staff has made a cursory review of the plan, but more detailed
comments will be provided during Final Design review.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission and Staff shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the
specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code.
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D of

Guidelines.
The Commission will take no formal action on the sketch plan application. Rather,
direction on the design will be given to the applicant from Staff and the Commission to
incorporate in the final design application.
Staff will provide full plan sets for you to provide written comments and guidance to the
applicant at your May 16, 2006 meeting. If you have any questions regarding this project

Community Development
Riverfront Lodge has been schematically designed to comply with the Design Standards
for Riverfront Village dated February 14, 2006. Specifically, the design for the Lodge
meets or exceeds the following design criteria:
I. Vision Statement for Riverfront Village
• Many materials used at the exterior and interior of the building—including
recycled rubber roofing, concrete composite siding, and concrete finishes—are
materials with sustainable characteristics.
• The overall design of the building strikes a balance between the urban architecture
found in Avon and the mountain architecture within Beaver Creek Resort. The
overall massing and forms are urban in nature and reflect this transition, while
some of the detailing—such as traditional roof forms, wood trim, structural
detailing, and stone base—reflect the "mountain modern" vocabulary sought for
the neighborhood.
• The design reflects simple and honest detailing, with large areas of glass.
Exterior materials include a stone base, fiber -cement board horizontal and vertical
siding, storefront glass, baked or anodized metal panels to match the storefront
system, stucco, traditional metal clad -wood windows, rubber roof tiles, and baked
metal roofing.
• The site plan for the building respects the 75 -foot river setback / view corridor
along the Eagle River. The only encroachments within this setback are for very
limited portions of elevated decks and roof overhangs.
• A link to the Eagle River has been preserved on the east end of the Site.
• The 75 -foot river setback has been left largely in its natural state, through the use
of careful grading and retaining walls to protect the majority of the existing trees
and other vegetation.
• Site walls and walkways have been designed to be `organic' in shape, to reflect
the river edge and natural features of the Site.
II. Site and Village Guidelines
• The primary entry to the Lodge has been developed as a special portal, reinforced
through its unique shape and use of materials. The entry to the Lodge reinforces
the notion that this building does not "turn its back" to the Town of Avon.
• A solar study has already been completed for this building as part of the Master
Plan Approval process.
• Colored concrete pavers will likely be used for the porch and terrace areas of the
Lodge. Site walls will be veneered with stone to match the other site walls within
Riverside Village, to present a coherent appearance throughout the neighborhood.
111. Architectural Design Guidelines
• The form and mass of the Lodge have been developed to provide interesting
articulation and to avoid a monolithic appearance. This has been done through
the use of angled walls (which also take advantage of the view to the Resort),
"pushing and pulling" of building forms, a mixture of dormer types, and a variety
of exterior materials.
• The base of the building has been developed as a strong link to the stepped site.
• While the middle of the building is more visually subtle, changes of plane have
been used to provide interest to the overall massing. Per the Design Standards for
this lot, less than 70% of the vertical wall plane is within the same plane on any
given elevation.
• The roofscape of the Village is reinforced by the roof design for Riverfront
Lodge, through the use of the same color blend of rubber roof tiles used through
the rest of the neighborhood. This roofscape is broken up at the Lodge by the
gable and shed dormers, which will be finished with baked -finish standing seam
metal roofing to match the storefront system.
• The primary roofs at the Lodge make use of 6:12 roof pitches, which comply with
the Design Standards. The main gable dormers are 8:12 roof pitch, while the
smaller, secondary shed dormers are 3:12 roof pitch, which is permitted for
secondary roof forms within Riverfront Village.
• The roof overhangs for the Lodge are currently under design, but will comply
with the 24" requirement for the site.
• The roof ridgeline for Riverfront Lodge does not exceed 150 feet for any length of
its run. At the longest portion of the ridge (the center portion of the building)
there is a change in ridge height that runs for at least 10% of the ridge length.
• The maximum building height for the Lodge does not exceed the approved Master
Plan. Less than 25% of the ridge height is at the maximum allowed height.
• All materials used at the Lodge will have a Light Reflective Value not to exceed
60%.

Introduction
The applicant, Zehren and Associates Inc., have submitted a Sketch Design application
for the Riverfront Lodge. Riverfront Lodge is a 75 -unit whole ownership condominium
building located on Lot 4 of the Riverfront Subdivision, formerly know as the Confluence.
The Riverfront Lodge is governed by a set of site-specific design review standards that
were adopted as part of the Riverfront PUD amendment. The expressed intent of the
standards is to create high quality architectural design through the use of varied roof
forms, wall plane articulation and quality building materials. It's important to note that
the Town of Avon Residential and Commercial Design Guidelines may augment these
standards where necessary through the final design approval. Attached are copies of
the guidelines, which are also referenced in the application material submitted.
Because of the size and scale of the building, coupled with the unfamiliarity with the
recently adopted design standards, staff recommends that the Commission take a
slightly broader approach to the design review of this application. Unlike the Westin
project, where there was a tremendous amount of design related detail provided through
the PUD amendment process, the Riverfront Lodge and the applicability of a new set of
design standards will be unfamiliar to most and therefore the review of this application
will most likely take several meetings.
This initial report will focus on three basic elements of the project: site layout and design,
circulation design, and building scale and mass. Evaluating these basic design
parameters against the expressed intent presented by the applicant in their submittal will
be helpful as we move forward in the review of more details. There is also a planned
site tour, with the corners of the building staked, that will aide in the initial review of this
application.
Staff Comments
The design of the proposed building generally conforms to the intent of the Riverfront
Design Standards. As the applicant has stated in their application, the architectural
style does appear to blend or balance between an urban architectural style found in the
Town and the mountain architecture found at Beaver Creek. The proposed building also
blends well in terms of style and material with the proposed Westin Hotel (similar roof

material, pitched roofs, stepped facades, and recessed windows). However, staff has
identified areas where the design appears to be inconsistent with the stated purpose of
the guidelines, particularly with respect to the roofline and how that relates to overall
scale and mass of the building.
Site design
Lot 4 of the Riverfront Subdivision is bounded to the north by Riverfront Lane and to the
south by the Eagle River, which has a 75' building setback (measure from the mean
annual high water mark). In addition, the site is further constrained by steep topography
that steps down towards the river along the western property line. Therefore, the
proposed east -west orientation of the building responds well to both the natural and
manmade constraints on site as well as takes advantage of solar exposure.
The site grading and drainage appears to be well developed. All drainage appears to
drain away from the structure and the use of retaining walls has been minimized. There
are two areas on the site where retaining walls are required to stabilize the slopes. The
first area is located around the bend of the bike path and access point to the parking
structure. These walls range in height from .5' to 10'. The second area is a series of
walls immediately north of the recreation path along the river. These walls range from 4'
to 6' in height. The bottom two walls will have a 4' planter bench to screen the upper
wall. In all areas, there appears to be no slopes in excess of a 2:1 slope. For
clarification purposes, staff would request the applicant provide a section of the walls
along the bike path for the Final Design Review submittal. Also, please indicate to what
extent the existing aspen trees will be preserved in plane at this location.
The site design also features a recreation path along the eastern end of the building.
The recreation path would traverse the site from the north to the south and tie into the
existing recreation path along the river with Riverfront Lane. It is staffs understanding
that the construction of the recreation path is part of the Subdivision Improvement
