implement the public way improvements piece of the Town Center West Investment Plan (the
Plan), pursuant to the provisions of Title 12, Avon Municipal Code (AMC) and the
Implementation section of the Plan, will provide a presentation of the finalized drawings and
materials of Main Street.
Discussion: Justin Hildreth introduced the design team and the plan for the meeting. Bob
Couri, a principal for Britina Design Group, began the presentation with a breakdown of the
process to date. Bob continued by presenting several three-dimensional perspective images
walking through the stretch of Main Street. A flythrough program was presented.
In response to the flythrough near the Sheraton property gathering area, Commissioner Struve
asked what the Tivoli lights would look like. The designers stated that these would be LED
lights no larger than the size of your finger.
Commissioner Goulding questioned the visual and physical elements traveling from
Benchmark Road to the right hand turn to Main Street
(or left to continue down Benchmark Road), and was concerned with the design from an
automobiles perspective. The designers presented material differentiations, signage, and way
finding elements that are being proposed.
The Site Tour was conducted. Commissioner Lane was in attendance after the Site Tour.
Commissioner Green asked what the next steps were for the Commission. Eric Heidemann
responded that a motion will be required and if there; were no outstanding issues a
recommendation of approval would be appreciated. 1"
Mr. Couri finished by presenting the design including.the potentialartpieces and their
locations. He outlined the compliance of the design with the West Town Center Design
Guidelines and Investment Plan.
Commissioner Green questioned the Hydrodynamic separation system. Justin`Hildreth further
described the system and how it worked. A' ` , %, . V.-�
The Britina Design Group went through the banners presented 14 at the meeting that outlined the
Public Art, Hardscape materials, Street Furnishings, Lighting, and Wayfinding signage.
Commissioner Struve questioned the pavers and asked if;they were individual pavers or
stamped concrete. The Design Group responded that they were individual pavers.
is
Commissioner Struve questioned the movable-stfeet furniture._j,The Design Team responded
that removal from the area could be' %an issue. and -could pose an extra maintenance
requirement to corral the furniture in the evening.
Iw
Commissioner Struve stated that the proposed bike racks do not work and suggested that the
Design Group use ones similar to the ones seen in Beaver Creek.
Commissioner Green n questioned the need for, Holiday lighting permanently in the trees along
the street. Justin Hildreth,stated that the requirement was in the Investment Plan and that it
was/less maintengance`demanding to leave them up given the longevity of the LED lights.
Commissioner Struve asked if this sign package approval would bring forth a precedent for
future monument"sighs. Eric'Heidemann responded that that would not be the case.
i v
Commissioner Lane stated most of his comments were expressed at the work session and the
only outlying concern is the Historical Panels. He doesn't want the panels to be cheap non -
substantial in appearance.
Commissioner Prince liked the plan, but had concerns about the entrance onto Main Street
from the Avon Road round -a -bout.
t
Commissioner Roubos questioned the use of all the different colors. She had concerns if it
was going to be`overly colorful or if it would have an amazing affect.
Commissioner Struve questioned the removal of all of the mature trees. He wanted the
consultants to pass information onto the public. He also wanted to have as many lights
'addressable' as possible to create a greater amount of interest. He also wanted the bike and
ski racks addressed. He suggested the Paulo Alto usage.
Commissioner Goulding didn't want to see the over usage of the "bad" or "back of house'
elements of developments.
Commissioner Green stated that the bollards would be an issue especially with the snow
plows in the interim until the snow melt comes on board. He stated that he doesn't feel the
entry from Avon Road less than sufficient.
Commissioner Goulding moved to approve the Main Street design with the condition of a Bike
and Ski Rack,' and an intensive study on the entry off of Avon Road is undertaken.
Commissioner Struve seconded the motion and it passed with a 6-0.
VII. Final Design Review
Sutter Residence
Property Location: Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / 5712 Wildridge Road East
Applicant / Owner: Ryan Sutter
. t
Description: This lot will be accessed off of Wildridge Road East and the proposed residence
will measure approximately 6,370 sq. ft. including the garage area' ,The building is designed
with gabled roofs and utilizes stucco, stone, wood shingles and'wood siding on the exterior
walls.
Discussion: Jared Barnes presented staff's report to the Commission Jared explained that,
as presented, the design expressed two dwelling,units and the need to remove the kitchen in
the 'guest house' in order to comply with the application aria design intent. The history of the
lot was highlighted. Jared highlighted the site and building design aspects of the project, and
suggested several revisions to the drawings prior to ming the application forward. With all of
the revisions and inconsistencies -mentioned, staff recommends tabling this application to
address these issues. ` `a y
Commissioner Struve questioned if,there�have been other similar designs approved for
separated single-family residences before.
Bob Sutter, the architect for the project\introduced himself and explained that there were no
objections to staffs,comments except for the desire to have additional retaining wall stepping
in order to comply` with`the'guidelines. He explained that catch basins will be utilized to
address the drainage concerns near the retaining walls.
Commissioner Struve, questioned whether oarnot a duplex was contemplated. Mr. Sutter
responded that yes, that idea was explored, but that is not the intention of the current owners.
Commissioner Prince asked if the ability to access with an easement through the water tank
lot was explored. Mr. Sutter explained that he could not find the appropriate party to pursue
this approach and they are accessing the property at the highest point possible.
e
Chairperson Green questioned if other options for the lower retaining walls were explored in
design review. Mr. Suttee responded that structured retaining walls were the only way to make
this site design possible and to make 4' walls is impossible.
A discussion continued with respect to the ability to design a single-family residence with an
efficiency kitchen instead of technically creating a duplex. Eric Heidemann read the definition
for "Efficiency Kitchen," and explained the process involved, and the application up for review
tonight. IV'
Commissioner Prince suggested that the single-family (with caretaker/efficiency unit) be a
future discussion item on a future meeting to explore the possibilities. .r,
Commissioner Goulding questioned whether or not a guardrail will be utilized. Mr. Sutter
responded that they will build one if it is required by code. Commissioner Goulding also asked
if the shrub plantings near the retaining walls would receive irrigation. The applicant explained
that a drain system in front of the walls is proposed and a structural engineer has designed the
wall cross sections. There are no solar panel design specifications yet, but they will be
provided.
Commissioner Goulding continued by cautioning to applicant about approaching the height
requirement, and the need for a material board. Jared responded that this was a suggested
condition of approval. Commissioner Goulding also suggested the use of varying tree sizes.
Commissioner Struve was in general agreement with the design, as presented. The retaining
walls and the proximity of landscaping were highlighted as the only concerns.
Commissioner Roubos explained her concern with the appearance of the retaining walls that
are not screened by the structure Mr Sutter responded that they will take staff's
recommendation, and move some of the trees to blend the walls as much as possible.
Commissioner Prince was in agreement with the other Commissioners comments. He
questioned where the fenced area was located on the plans. Mr.4Sutte`r presented the general
location of the fence as referenced on page A0.
Commissioner Green's concern was with the landscape plan and the need for aspen trees to
get water no matter where they are located.
Action: Commissioner Goulding moved to approve with staff conditions 1-12 from the report,
with following conditions to be revised: #4, The' floor plans will be amended to meet the
definition of "efficiency kitchen for the Guest,Flouse unit; #17, Additional landscaping will be
provided on an amended landscape plan to better'screen theme retaining walls and appropriately
sized and located; and conditions to be added #13, Solar,panel information will'be provided to
staff and brought to the Commission if deemed appropriate; and #14, The plans will be revised
to show that a guardrail will be utilized where required near the driveway. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Struve and all Commissioners were in favor. The motion passed
unanimously with a 5-0 vote. w _

September 16, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date September 10, 2008
Project type Single Family Residence Addition
Legal description Lot 34, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD — 2 Units
Address 2195 Long Spur Road
Introduction
Andrew James Abraham of AJA Studio, representing the owner of this Wildridge
Subdivision property, has submitted a Sketch Design application for an addition and
complete renovation to a single-family residence at the end of Long Spur Road.
The existing residence totals approximately 2,200 square feet, and was constructed in
1993. The building exterior has stucco as the predominate building material, and
contains two levels of living space. The main level contains a two -car garage, kitchen,
office, and living/dining space. The lower (walkout) level contains the bedrooms.
This application proposes a complete "new skin" with several roof additions, one-story,
and two-story building additions. Approximately 1,392 square feet of space (includes
one -car garage) would be added to the existing home.
The entire exterior would be replaced with high quality building materials. Proposed
building materials include: brick veneer siding, redwood siding, metal siding, stucco,
wood truss and soffits, heavy asphalt shingles and standing seam metal roofing.
In addition to the building improvements, new terrace spaces are proposed
surrounding the west and north elevations. Several trees are also introduced on all
sides of the building.
Staff Comments
This application is in conformance with the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial.
and Industrial Desian Review Guidelines. All of the materials are of high quality, and
the added architectural interest is encouraged by the Guidelines.
The improvements to the site appear to be in compliance with Section A: Residential
Site Development. The parking and loading appear to be functional. While one of the
existing garage parking spaces is being deleted, a new garage parking space is being

Lot 34, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision. Debra's Sketch Design
September 16, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 3 AYON
proposed. The added landscaping will benefit the appearance of the structure as
viewed from adjacent properties.
In terms of building design and materials, the additions appear to comply with
Section B: Building Design, of the Guidelines; and the building is designed as a
composition of mass elements.
The new roof plan includes a mix of 12:12 "heavy' asphalt shingles for the primary
ridges, and 3:12 metal roofing for secondary ridges. The one exception to this
generality is the large expanse of 3:12 metal roof above the kitchen. While metal
roofing and pitches less than 4:12 are discouraged for primary roof planes, this roof
form would be broken with smaller 12:12 roof forms, and this approach appears to
comply with the Guidelines.
Further details such as lighting, colors, landscaping specifications, and materials will
be reviewed in detail with a Final Design application. A cork model and photographs
will be available for Commission review at the meeting.
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; and
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D
of the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial, and Industrial Desiqn
Review Guidelines.
The Commission will take no formal action on this sketch plan application. At the
meeting, the applicant will receive guidance from the Commission and Staff to
incorporate into a Final Design application. A full size (24" x 36") plan set will be
available for the Commission's review at the September 16th, 2008 meeting.
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please call me
directly at 748-4413, or stop by the office of Community Development.

Design Modifications _IV0 N
C O 1. O R A D O
Residential Staff Report
September 16, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Report date: September 12, 2008
Project type: Landscaping Modifications
Legal description: Lots 24, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning: PUD — 2 Dwelling Units per Lot
Address: 5581 Coyote Ridge
Introduction:
The applicant and owner, Mike Farr, is proposing landscaping modifications to an
approved Final Design for the duplex residence on Coyote Ridge. The proposed
modifications will reduce the overall number of plantings. Attached to this Staff
Report are a Vicinity Map (Exhibit A), Letter from the Applicant (Exhibit B),
Proposed Landscape Plan (Exhibit C), and Approved Landscape Plan (Exhibit
D).
Background:
At the Planning and Zoning Commission's July 18, 2006 meeting a Final Design
Application was approved for the subject lot. The approval included a Landscape
Plan that outlined the placement for four (4) Pinyon Pine trees, four (4) Colorado
Spruce trees, four (4) Bristlecone Pine trees, twenty eight (28) Quaking Aspen
trees, and five (5) Barberry shrubs.
Design Approval Criteria:
According to Section 7 from the Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Desion
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 proposed modifications do not affect any of the provisions of the Town of
Avon Zonino Code. Therefore this criteria is not applicable.
2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains.

September 16, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 2 of 3 M
The property is located in District 24: Wildridge Residential District, and is
labeled as a Low Priority District. The project complies with the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan.
3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed
improvements.
The proposed modifications do not impact the development rights for the
property.
4. The Design plan is in general conformance with Sub -Sections A through
D of the Residential. Commercial, and Industrial Desian Guidelines.
A. Site Development: The proposed modifications only alter the site design
by modifying the Landscaping. Staff has determined the provisions of this
section are adequately addressed.
B. Building Design: This section is not applicable since the application does
not alter the building design.
C. Landscaping: The proposed modifications reduce the amount of
landscaping throughout the site. As stated earlier in this Staff Report, the
approved plans depict approximately forty (40) tree plantings and five (5)
shrub plantings. The proposal locates fourteen (14) Aspen trees and one (1)
Bristlecone Pine tree.
The Guidelines state that existing vegetation should be preserved and
protected. It appears that the applicant has provided a rather tight limit of
disturbance and has kept a good amount of mature shrub plantings intact
during construction. The Guidelines also promote the use of xeriscape
landscaping principals. It appears that the applicant has limited the number
of proposed plantings in order to reduce the use of water for irrigation.
From the proposed plan (Exhibit C), it appears that the plantings are not
naturally located and do hot help visually screen the building improvements
as encouraged by the Design Guidelines. Staff has determined that the
Landscape Plan should be revised to implement a greater number of
plantings on the north side of the structure to help properly screen the
building improvements from neighboring properties.
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.
This application is compatible with the site topography, without the need for
significant alterations.
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.

The proposed changes will alter the improvements when viewed from
adjacent properties. The reduction in the numbers of plantings will make the
residences more visible from neighboring properties. Staff believes that a
greater number of plantings in more natural locations will help provide a more
visually appealing lot.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others
in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
No monetary or aesthetic values should be impaired or otherwise lowered
with the planned improvements.
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.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending Conditional Approval of the Landscaping Modifications
proposed for Lot 24, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision.
Recommended Motion:
"I move to approve the landscaping modifications for Lot 24, Block 4, Wildridge
Subdivision with the following condition:
1. The Landscape Plan be revised to add a greater number of mature
plantings on the north side of the structure to ensure better screening
of the building improvements from the neighboring properties;
and subject to the following finding:
The proposed modifications meet the intent of the Town of Avon's
Residential. Commercial and Industrial Desion Review Guidelines."
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please
call me at 748.4023 or stop by the Community Development Department.
Respectfully submitted,
Jare Barnes

Re: Modification of landscape design
Farr Residence
5581 Coyote Ridge
Avon, CO 81620
Design Review Board:
Thank you for your consideration of my new landscape design proposal. The
following are my reasons for seeking modifications:
• Conserve water. I am following green building practices throughout the
construction of my home and would like to carry that through to the
landscaping by employing environmentally friendly xeriscape techniques.
• Blend with the natural surroundings. The natural vegetation in Wildridge is
primarily sage brush, grasses and service berry bushes. I would like my
landscaping to remain true to this natural environment by relying primarily
on native grasses and flowers with a modest number of aspen and spruce
trees.
• Minimize site disturbance. From the beginning of my building process, I
have tried to preserve the property as it was by saving as much of the
native vegetation as possible. I would like to continue this through the
landscaping I install.
• Show the beauty of the house. Designed around a farmstead theme, the
new building looks at home in its current surroundings (limited vegetation).
I don't want to disturb the good "fit" created by the combination of the
farmhouse look, reclaimed materials and natural surroundings.
• Maximize sunlight. I want to retain as much natural sunlight as possible by
planting only a small number of trees.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Sincerely,
4*
