DESIGN REVIEW —MINOR PROJECT
VII. Courtyard Villas
Property Location: Lot 12 & 13, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision / Buck Creek Road
Applicant. Michael Hazard, Morter Architects /Owner. • Advanced Home Technologies
Description: Minor Project review for several modifications to an existing design approval. The
modifications include fireplace design change, removal of the chimneys, removal of windows
on various elevations, and addition of privacy screens.
Discussion: Commissioner Goulding highlighted that the site visit was a follow up to the
previous hearing that was tabled.
Commissioner Anderson agreed with the window modifications and chimneys removal. He
also commented that the privacy screens would have a negative effect on neighboring
properties.
Commissioner Lane agreed with the previous comments, but did comment that the privacy
screens are still hard to understand. He wasn't in favor of the upper level privacy screens due
to their architectural compatibility.
Commissioner Prince also agreed with some of the previous comments, but did state his lack
of agreement with the privacy screens. The upper level, south unit screen doesn't fit within the
design guidelines. The lower level, south unit screen should have increased landscaping,
specifically evergreen trees to help mitigate the appearance. The northern unit privacy screen
doesn't affect the design and he has no issues with that one.
Commissioner Roubos wanted the privacy screens to appear like an extension of each wall it
is attached to. She did agree with the landscaping comments on the ground mounted screen
previously stated.
Commissioner Struve wanted the applicant to gain approval of any future modification prior to
the change is made. He does support the proposed modifications, but did comment that two
additional evergreens would help the ground mounted privacy screen. Commissioner Struve
also commented that he preferred the original light fixtures for the driveway when compared to
the proposed fixtures.
Commissioner Green questioned the light fixtures as well. He didn't believe there would be a
negative affect to any adjacent property. He did state his support for the proposed chimney
and window modifications.
Commissioner Goulding questioned the fire places and their need for venting. Ignacio De
Iraola explained the new fireplaces. He didn't feel that the privacy screens would have
negative affect so long as the materials were the same as adjacent materials.
Commissioner Prince asked for a specification sheet for the proposed light fixtures.
Commissioner Green explained that additional landscaping would need to be provided around
the ground mounted privacy screen.
Commissioner Anderson questioned whether a tree or shrub would be required.
Commissioner Green responded that a 4 foot to 6 foot tall tree would be sufficient.
Commissioner Anderson stated that a smaller planting would help keep view corridors.
Action: Commissioner Green moved to approve the minor project application with the following
conditions:
1. The materials of the privacy screens shall match adjacent building surfaces and materials;
2. Add coniferous plant material that at maturity does not grow to be larger than the privacy
screen and that the landscaping be placed adjacent to the privacy screen; and
3. Approve the driveway light per site visit.
Commissioner Struve seconded the motion and it passed 5-2.
Vlll. Horton Residence
Property Location: Lot 59, Block 3, Wildridge / 4340 June Point
Applicant. Millie Aldrich, Pure Design Studio / Owner: Norma Horton
Description: A follow up meeting to the on-site mock-up review, performed earlier in the day, of
the proposed materials and colors.
Discussion: Staff briefly outlined the previous approvals and the on-site mockup review
performed earlier in the day.
Commissioner Green questioned the stone on the mockup and its compatibility with the
original submittal. He had additional concerns over the proposed colors. He was also
concerned with the amount of white proposed and that depicted on the mock-up. He wanted
to see more compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. He also had concerns with the
reflectivity of the metal roof.
Commissioner Struve would prefer if the light was on a timer so it didn't shine all night. He
was in favor of the materials, but he preferred the original colors versus the proposed colors.
Commissioner Roubos had concerns over the contrast. She felt the colors were too white.
Commissioner Prince agreed with Commissioner Struve's comments about the address light
on a timer. He didn't have an issue with the materials, but didn't understand how the materials
would flow together. He did comment on the blue color during the early morning of the
exposed steel.
Commissioner Lane questioned one of the conditions of approval. Staff read the specific
condition into the record. Commissioner Lane did state that the proposed colors lacked
contrast and didn't blend well with the surrounding environment. He was in favor of the roof
color.
Commissioner Anderson questioned the compatibility with the surrounding environment when
it wasn't snowy. The proposed colors are too white and lack a variety of earth tones.
Commissioner Goulding compared the mock-up to the background, specifically highlighting the
sagebrush colors. He felt the proposed colors lacked blending with the environment and stood
out too much. He was in favor of the concept, but felt the execution of colors lacked
sufficiency.
Commissioner Roubos questioned the Design Guidelines and their applicability to metal roofs.
Staff read into the record the roof related sections of the Design Guidelines.
Commissioner Green questioned the metal roof reflectivity and the Light Reflective Value.
Staff responded by highlighting the application materials that outlined the LRV value of the
proposed roofing material and color.
Millie Aldrich responded that the material on the mockup was representative of the color not
the reflectivity. This is due to the cost associated with powder coating the metal.
Commissioner Lane asked if the applicants thought the proposed colors reflected the
surrounding environment.
Commissioner Goulding asked Staff if the materials and colors were up for review and asked
for clarification. Staff outlined the approvals and mailing that were provided to the applicant
that specifically stated all conditions of approval.
Commissioner Goulding outlined the issues discussed at this meeting and asked the
Commission for clarification on all issues to provide feedback to the applicant. Commissioner
dialog ensued regarding the specific color issues.
Millie Aldrich commented on how the varying plans of the building will help provide shading
and shadow effect that will soften the similarity of the proposed colors.
Commissioner Roubos once again commented on how white the proposed color palette is and
how much it has varied from any of the previous color boards.
Commissioner Lane stated how much contrast exists on the site and how little contrast the
mockup showed.
Commissioner Roubos stated that the mockup did not reminder her of earth tone colors.
Commissioner Prince asked if the elevations could be provided. Staff brought forth reduced
plan sets that illustrated the elevations.
Action: Struve moved to approve the materials and colors as represented on the mock-up with
the condition that the mock-up not be removed until TCO. Commissioner Green seconded the
motion and it passed 4-3.

PUD Amendment1,-`-7J'
October 20, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting AV O N
r n Y n a• n n
Report date: October 16, 2009
Project type: Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment,
& Preliminary Plan for Subdivision
Legal description: Lots 47 & 48, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Current zoning: PUD (2 Units/per lot)
Address: 5141 & 5151 Longsun Lane
I. Introduction and Summary
The applicant, Bobby Ladd of RAL Architects, Inc., representing the owner of these two
vacant Wildridge parcels, David Forenza, is proposing Planned Unit Development
(PUD) Amendment and Preliminary Subdivision applications pertaining to the above-
mentioned vacant properties in Wildridge.
The proposed PUD amendment is to alter the zoning of the two duplex properties; to
permit three single-family residences, one containing a "lock -off" unit. While the density
would remain the same — four (4) dwelling units, the unit type would be different. The
corresponding Preliminary Subdivision application would amend the current property
line between Lot 47 and 48, and would add a new property line to separate two of the
structures. The preliminary subdivision is required by the Avon Municioal Code, since it
would be required to develop the properties as presented.
After holding a public hearing in accordance with Section 17.12.100 of the Avon
Municipal Code, Staff is recommending that the Town of Avon Planning and Zoning
Commission recommend Denial of this application to the Avon Town Council. The
basis for this recommendation is the failure to meet the mandatory review criteria as
outlined in the body of this report.
After carefully consideration of the review criteria, it was difficult for Staff to support this
application due in large part to the lack of a community benefit — as required by the
Public Purpose Provisions of the Zoning Code for all rezoning or PUD amendment
applications.
Attached to this report is the applicant's narrative, which introduces the project and
responds to the review criteria. The narrative outlines the merits to this amendment as
it relates to the criteria. In Staffs opinion, all of the alleged benefits to the neighborhood

by approving this amendment could otherwise be achieved under the existing
entitlements.
II. Background
Benchmark Properties created the Wildridge Subdivision in 1979, shortly after the
incorporation of the Town of Avon on February 28, 1978. According to the Wildridge
Final Plat application for Wildridge and Wildwood Subdivisions, the overall development
concept was for "abundant open space recreation areas around lots" with a density of
"barely one dwelling unit per acre".
The original Wildridge "Specially Planned Area" (now considered a "PUD" by default)
and the accompanying subdivision plat were established with a specific purpose and
intent: to offer a diverse range of housing types and options to serve the diverse, year-
round local population. As such, the housing types in the Wildridge PUD and Plat are
diverse: single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, four-plexes, etc - because the housing
needs of the local, year-round population continue to be diverse.
The population of Avon is comprised of diverse segments of the local population based
on such attributes as income, household size, age, and lifestyle choices (i.e. - single,
married, married with children, etc). Wildridge was designed on the premise that not
everyone wants, or can afford, to live in low density neighborhoods and a diversity of
unit types is required to serve the year-round population. The intrinsic value to the
public of the diversity of housing types imbedded in the original plat and PUD plan
become diminished when a planned type of structure (i.e. multi -family, duplex) is
removed and replaced with single-family housing.
In 1981, the Wildridge Subdivision was completely replatted with a total of 849 planned
development units and is the foundation of the current zoning in Wildridge. Over the
years, there have been numerous PUD amendments and some transfers of
development rights.
Recently, there have been amendments whereby certain development rights were
modified and corresponding subdivision plats created to amend the existing plat(s). The
most recent amendment to the Wildridge PUD and Final Plat was for the Dry Creek
PUD, previously located within Block 2 of the Wildridge Subdivision and now its own
stand-alone subdivision, whereby a "fourplex" lot was converted to accommodate three
(3) single-family detached structures. The approval of the Dry Creek PUD was
predicated upon factors such as the approval of a subdivision variance for lineal lot
frontage and the reduced number of dwelling units by one.
Construction of the Dry Creek PUD is now complete, and demonstrates the resulting
appearance and disturbance experienced with detached single-family structures, as
opposed to what was expected under the existing zoning. It should be noted that Staff
recommended DENIAL of the Dry Creek PUD, citing the following reasons:
(1) The application failed to meet or advance land use and housing
goals/policies (Policy A1.5, C1, CIA of the 1996 Comp Plan) relative to
establishing or maintaining an appropriate mix of dwelling unit types for both
lower and middle-income seasonal and year-round residents and their families;

Longsun Lane Residences PUD Amendment

Page 3 of 7 A
(2) The proposed development may be compatible in design, scale, and use
with the types housing in the area, however a multi -family building would also
be compatible with multifamily developments in the area, particularly the
enclave of multi -family developments along Draw Spur;
(3) Although the applicant proposed to reduce the allowable lot coverage by
10%, the extent of total site disturbance for 3 single-family residences may
exceed the extent of site disturbance from a fourplex development;
Another recent PUD Amendment approval was for the Western Sage PUD in Block 4.
That development converted three (3) triplex lots and one (1) duplex lot (total of 11
development rights) into eight (8) single-family lots. Both of these PUD amendments
were approved prior to the public benefit provisions being incorporated into the Town of
Avon Zonino Code.
It is important to note that previous Wildridge PUD Amendments were largely based on
a "down zoning", or contemplated a reduction in dwelling units. While it is assumed the
"legal lock -off unit" constructed on Lot 47B would not be for sale, it is defined as a
"dwelling unit" by the Zoning Code, and would be counted towards the density of the
property.
III. Process
As required by the Avon Municiaal Code, this report serves as the official findings and
recommendations of the Community Development Department. After holding a public
hearing before the Planning Commission, a report of the Planning Commission stating
its findings and recommendations and this report shall then be transmitted to the Town
Council.
The Town Council shall then consider this application in accordance with Section
17.28.050 of the Avon MuniciDal Code. The Town Council hearing shall be held no later
than thirty (30) days following the Planning and Zoning Commission action.
Following this hearing, the Council shall consider the comments and evidence
presented at the hearing and evaluate the application in accordance with Section
17.28.080 and either approve, approve with conditions or deny the application, in whole
or in part.
IV. Public Notice Requirement
This application is a noticed public hearing with written notice provided to all property
owners within 300' of the subject property. There have been no comments received by
Staff thus far. Public comments will be entertained at the hearing.
V. PUD Design Criteria
It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the
proposed development plan comply with each of the following design criteria, or
Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949-5749
Longsun Lane Residences PUD Amendment A
October 20, 2009, Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 4 of 7
demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a particular development
solution is consistent with the public interest.
According to the Town of Avon Zonino Code, Section 17.20.110, the following criteria
shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating a PUD.
1. Conformance with the Town of Avon Comarehensive Plan's Goals and
Objectives.
District 24 Wildridae Residential District (Comp Plan Page 98-99)
The subject properties are located in the "Wildridge Residential District." The
Comprehensive Plan acknowledges the limited number of existing trees and the
open character of the Subdivision. The Comprehensive Plan states that "special
care should be taken to ensure that all structures are compatible with one another
and in harmony with the natural surroundings."
One of the planning principles for this district is to "site buildings of varying sizes
along the street to maximize sun exposure, protect views, be compatible with
existing surrounding development, and break up building bulk."
Future Land Use Plan (Comp Plan Page 27)
The Future Land Use Plan envisions continued "Residential Low Density"
development. Residential Low Density (RLD) development is intended to provide
sites for single-family, duplex, and multi -family dwellings at a density no greater than
7.5 dwelling units per acre. The applicant's proposal would not change the density
of the property.
Goals and Policies (Comp Plan Pages 37 - 63)
The Comprehensive Plan contains several regional, policy goals related to land use
and development patterns that should be reviewed with respect to all proposed PUD
plans in Town. The goals and policies most applicable to this proposal speak to the
built form, including protecting views and clustering development.
2. Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the town, the
sub -area design recommendations and design guidelines of the Town.
If this application is approved, the development plan and design of the single-family
residences and duplex (single-family plus "legal lockoff") would then be reviewed by
the Planning and Zoning Commission for conformity with the Residential Design
Review Guidelines. The applicant intends to have similarly designed structures for
each property. Each unit would need to be reviewed individually at design review to
ensure conformance with the Guidelines.
3. Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood, and
adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, character, and orientation.
The majority of these design compatibility considerations would be handled through
the codified design review process. There are no changes proposed to the building
height, which is limited to 35' for each property. The resulting location of buffer

zones and building orientation, dictated by the newly platted building lot lines and
corresponding setback lines, would change the appearance of the properties.
Attached to this report is a vicinity map. For a comparison to the immediate
environment, the map demonstrates the surrounding building footprint locations and
sizes to better understand the relationship to surrounding development. Most of the
surrounding lots have been developed. Also attached to this report is a digital
photograph, showing the rough existing property lines for Lot 47 and 48.
4. Uses, activity, and density provide a compatible, efficient, and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
There is a mix of single-family and duplex structures in the surrounding area and this
proposal would be compatible. There should be no negative relationship
experienced with the surrounding uses or activities on Longsun Lane or the greater
neighborhood.
5. Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards
that affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed.
There have been no geologic hazards identified on the subject property.
6. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
The applicant has demonstrated that a shared driveway for any development on
these properties would be the responsive approach to limit the amount of
disturbance in the area immediately adjacent to Longsun Lane, where the steepest
grades exist. The 50% grades off the roadway appear to have been created with fill
during construction of the road, and as the applicant points out, these initial grades
have proven problematic when design access solutions for previous design review
submittals.
The result of replatting and rezoning these properties does not appear to overly
affect the aesthetic natural qualities of the sites. However, it is difficult to determine
whether or not this design approach would result in a more or less responsive (or
sensitive) pattern of development. It is important to note that the most tangible and
effective benefit is with the single driveway access point off Longsun Lane, and that
this shared driveway concept could be utilized under the existing zoning scenario for
two duplexes.
7. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing
on and off site traffic circulation that is compatible with the Town
Transportation Plan.
Does not apply.
8. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
There are few opportunities for functional landscape areas on the subject properties
due to the steep topography that exists. Minor changes to the location of open

Longsun Lane Residences PUD Amendment
October 20, 2009, Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Page 6 of 7
space and landscaping would result from this proposal by platting new side
setbacks. While the overall function of these open spaces would not change greatly,
this plan does not appear to optimize or preserve natural features, views, and site
functionality.
9. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional, and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. The phasing
plan shall clearly demonstrate that each phase can be workable, functional
and efficient without relying upon completion of future project phases.
The proposed re -subdivision creates an "Access & Driveway Maintenance
Easement" for the shared driveway. Development on Lots 47B and Lot 47A is
dependent on the driveway construction and access from Lot 48A.
10.Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation
systems, roads, parks, and police and fire protection.
All services are in place for this proposal to function.
11. That the existing streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry
anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed
PUD.
Does not apply.
12. That the PUD or amendment to PUD requested provides evidence of
substantial compliance with the following 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.
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.
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.
Staff is unable to support this application due to the lack of a clear community
benefit. The approval of this zoning application would not necessarily result in
better siting of development and the application fails to demonstrate public benefits
which the current zoning entitlements cannot achieve.
VI. Recommended Motion
"I move to recommend of DENIAL of the PUD Amendment and corresponding
Preliminary Subdivision application to the Avon Town Council with the following

1. This application fails to provide evidence of substantial compliance with the
Public Purpose provisions of the Avon Zoning Code. There are no expressed
public benefits (i.e. "smaller legal lock -off unit", "reduced lot coverage" "smaller
structures", "unique one point automobile egress/entry ; "passive solar heating
and wind cooling", "increased landscape area') which cannot be achieved by
developing under the existing entitlements.
2. The flexibility afforded in approving this zoning application would not result in
improved siting of the development of these properties.
3. Approval of this application does not further the intent and purpose of Title 17,
the Zoning Code of the Town of Avon. Further, the application and supporting
materials fail to demonstrate compliance with the review criteria as outlined in this
report."

These lots sit side 6y side to the immediate south of Longsun Lane. They are downhill sloping lots
with a steep top portion, roughly around 50% slope, transitioning to a more gradual grade,
approximately 25%, at the front yard set6ack and continuing from there consistently for the duration

Proposal
This proposed amendment to the Wildridge PUD entails d zoning change to combine and redivide
the two existing duplex lots, Lots 47 and 48, into three lots, Lots 47A, 47B, and 48A. Lots 47A and
48A would be single family lots, and lot 47B would remain a duplex lot to accommodate a smaller
legal lock -off unit to target local workforce housing.
To generate a development potential comparison, we used the following general assumptions. For
the current zoning scenario on Lots 47 and 48, we assumed a duplex structure on each lot consisting
of 4,500sf of habitable area with each side having a 750sf garage. We assumed the building to be
a 3 -story structure utilizing the slope of the land to create a lower level walk -out and having an
upper level that would consist of only garage and entry elements. Assuming the areas are
approximately the same on each of the two floors that equates to a building footprint estimate of
6,000sf per lot. On the new proposed lots 47A, 47B, and 48A, we are proposing varying sizes of
houses as depicted in the table below. Based on these assumptions of building size, we offer the
following development potential comparison:

Design Criteria
(1) Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives
The Comprehensive Plan descri6es the "Wildridge Residential District" as having limited existing
trees and as a su6division with an open character. The Comprehensive Plan states that "special care
should 6e taken to ensure that all structures are compati6le with one another and in harmony with
the natural surroundings." It also cites a main planning principle for Wildridge is to "site buildings
of varying sizes along the street to maximize sun exposure, protect views, 6e compatible with
existing surrounding development, and break up building bulk."
This proposed amendment and su6sequent will help to achieve these goals. Three smaller structures
on the properties will allow for greater flexibility in building siting that will help to not only maximize
views from the dwelling units but also to protect views from within and around the properties through
view corridors between the structures. The smaller structures will also appear less 6ulky from both
a6ove and below and the open landscape in between them will further help to break down the
building size and transition the man-made structures with the native lots in addition to improving
drainage across the properties 6y avoiding the "dam effect" created 6y having attached duplex
structures.
The existing structures on Longsun Lane consist of a mix of duplex and single family structures, so this
use would 6e very compati6le and contextual with the immediate surrounding neighborhood.
Furthermore, we are proposing different sized structures which not only will help to provide visual
variety to the houses, but also complies with the Comprehensive plan's call for buildings of varying
sizes. This can further 6e enhanced 6y stepping the individual buildings on the site vertically to
further create visual interest and break up any perceived visual linking of the structures.
The Comprehensive Plan also sets policy to "avoid development in environmental hazard areas such
as floodplains, steep slopes, areas with geologic hazards, wildfire hazard areas, and areas with
erosive soils." The top portion of the lots located in the front set6ack and the Town Right of Way
exceed the 40% slope to 6e considered developa6le. Rezoning into single family structures helps to
stagger the buildings on the lot and create unique access points to them allowing us to limit the street
access to only one point, leaving the majority of the steeper lot portion undisturbed. Previous duplex
proposals submitted on these lots entailed an extensive amount of these steep areas to 6e covered
with driveways and site access which becomes necessary with the increased development and lack of
flexi6ility from having larger attached dwelling units.
(2) Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the town, the sub -area
design recommendations and design guidelines adopted by the Town.
RAL Architects, inc.
P.O. Box 1805 Phone: 474.426.4448
Edwards, Colorado 81632 E -Mail: ralarch0vail.net
The intent of this proposal is not to create a cluster home development of similar style and designed
homes. Each structure will be uniquely designed and consist of high quality materials composed
mostly of stone and wood. The intent is to have 3 individually designed structures so that they
visually fit more seamlessly into the neighborhood which now consists of a variety of designs,
materials, colors, and styles.
(3) Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent
properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones,
character and orientation.
This proposal would be compatible with all surrounding structures as the zoning and design criteria
in place on the exiting lots would be enforced on the new lots as well relative to building setbacks,
building height, and compliance with design guidelines.
(4) Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Given the similarity in use, size, and structure to surrounding houses, this proposal would be
compatible and efficient within the neighborhood.
(5) Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards that
affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed.
There are no identified geologic hazards on the property. As stated before, the shared access
proposed with this amendment would limit the amount of disturbance in the areas of the lot that
exceed 40% slope.
(6) Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce
a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall
aesthetic quality of the community
The initial steep grade off of the road will require some areas of extensive fill to gain site access
regardless of what structures are built on the lots. By utilizing a shared driveway solution, the
amount of fill will be minimized by limiting the lots to one point of access on the street where the
greatest grade differential exists and by using the driveway slope to found the houses more on
grade. Additionally, using smaller masses stepping on the site helps to minimize the need for
retaining walls on the downhill side of the structures, limiting disturbance and preserving a more
natural landscape transition and look from the highly visible downhill side. Additionally, the
driveway access is configured to utilize the buildings themselves for a large portion of the initial
grade retention, further limiting the amount of retaining walls required for site access and circulation.

Edwards, Colorado 81632 E -Mail: ralarckOvail.net
(7) A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on- and off-
site traffic circulation that is compatible with the Town transportation plan.
The driveway access is limited to one point of automo6ile egress/entry onto the adjacent public
road. The driveway is located 6etween two of the three proposed structures creating a T -intersection
on the sites and allowing for waiting areas when multiple cars are entering or exiting the property.
Off-site transportation is not impacted 6y this proposed amendment.
(8) Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve
natural features, recreation, views and function
The detached structures create landscape zones between the houses which further softens the
massing and overall developments visual impact on the lot while preserving view corridors from and
through the site and increasing opportunities for natural light and ventilation that will 6e utilized for
passive heating and cooling techniques to help lessen the utility consumption generated 6y the
structures.
(9) Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, function and efficient
relationship throughout the development of the PUD. The phasing plan shall clearly
demonstrate that each phase can be workable, functional and efficient without relying upon
completion of future project phases.
The intent is to construct all three structures at the same time. In the event that is not economically
viable, then the project would 6e phased to build one structure at a time starting with the farthest
northwest structure (Lot 48A) and moving southeast through Lot 47B and then to 47A. The use of the
structures to retain the driveway dictates building them individually in this order and 6y following this
development pattern, no structure would 6e built or site distur6ance occur that was not a direct result
of the construction of each specific structure. So, if the construction were to 6e halted and one or
more of the residences not built, each remaining lot would essentially 6e undistur6ed from
construction on any previously built structures with some minor grading modifications.
(10) Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems,
roads, parks and police and fire protection
All public services are availa6le on the existing lots and would not 6e impacted 6y this proposed
amendment.
(11) That the existing streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated
traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD.
The impact on the existing streets and roads will not 6e increased 6y this proposed amendment as
the total num6er of dwelling units proposed is equal to the current total number permitted.
RAL Architects, inc.
P.O. Box 1805 Phone: 970.926.4448
Edwards, Colorado 81632 E -Mail: ralarcha9vail.net
(12) That the PUD or amendment to PUD requested provides evidence of substantial
compliance with the public purpose provisions of the Zoning Code as specified in Section
17.28.085.
(1) The application demonstrates a public purpose which the current zoning entitlements
cannot achieve.
This proposed amendment will create smaller building masses which will allow for greater flexibility
in locating the structures across the lot creating a more aesthetically pleasing project as well as
greatly improving drainage on and across the site by allowing for an additional drainage path
between the structures. Additionally, smaller detached structures will maintain a greater percentage
of open landscape area creating both a more aesthetically pleasing product as well as a greater
opportunity to utilize the natural environment for passive solar heating and wind cooling techniques
ultimately making for more efficient structures and generating a smaller demand on public utilities.
While we anticipate only a small reduction in overall site disturbance with this proposed amendment,
the amount of open landscape area that will be revegetated will be greatly increased by having
additional landscape zones between the detached structures which will'create structures that blend
more harmoniously into the hillside and will lessen the visual impact the proposed residences will
have from all angles in viewing the site.
(2) 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.
There are no potential adverse impacts created by this proposed amendment
(3) 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.
As previously stated, the smaller, detached structures allow greater design flexibility in regards to
building siting and location on the lots which not only decreases the visual impact on the lot but also
creates opportunities to best utilize the lot to enhance views, provide more light and ventilation both
within the structures and on the lots, improve drainage around and across the site, and increase the
overall landscape area both between units helping to minimize the perceived massing of the units
and across the entire site by decreased lot coverage ratios.

C O L 0 R A D 0
October 20, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date October 16, 2009
Project type Special Review Use (SRU) -Public Hearing -
Legal description Lot 5, Riverfront Subdivision
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Address 330 Riverfront Lane
Introduction
The applicant, East-West Resort Development, is required to gain approval for and the
issuance of a Special Review Use (SRU) permit by the Town of Avon Planning and
Zoning Commission to keep the existing temporary office structure and use on Lot 5,
Riverfront Subdivision. According to the Riverfront PUD Development Plan's list of
allowable uses, the following provision was put in place for the temporary use of Lot 5:
"Temporary facilities for real estate sales and development on Lot 5 for up to
one year after the issuance of the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy of the
Hotel."
The PUD goes on to state that "other temporary facilities are subject to Special Review
Use." The Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Westin Hotel was issued over
one year ago and this necessitates the issuance of an SRU permit for any continued
use of the approximately 2,750 square foot building.
Process and Review Criteria
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review this request and act in accordance
with the Avon Municipal Code review procedures outlined in Section 17.48.040. The
Planning & Zoning Commission shall consider the following criteria when evaluating this
application for a SRU permit:
1. Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements imposed
by the Zoning Code.
Staff Response: The site must be mitigated of all noxious weeds and the applicant
should also be required to submit a temporary landscape plan, at a minimum,
depending on the intended duration of the use and existing structure on the site.
Other than this design review adherence issue, the use complies with all other
pertinent requirements of the Zoning Code.

2. Whether the proposed use is in conformance with the Town Comprehensive
Plan.
Staff Response: Given the planning principals for District 3, the proposed use
continues to be in conformance with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan
(February, 2006).
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.
Staff Response: As stated above in Criterion 1, the mitigation of weeds and a
temporary landscape plan are required for the site to be fully compatible with
adjacent uses.
4. That the granting of this SRU must provides evidence of substantial
compliance with the public purpose provisions of the Zoning Code, as
outlined below:
A. The application demonstrates a public purpose which the current zoning
entitlements cannot 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.
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.
Staff Response: The use being requested is temporary in nature, insofar as the
property will be redeveloped to a higher and better use' in the near future as
contemplated in the master development plan for the subject property. To
mitigate any negative visual impacts of the existing site conditions, Staff is
recommending minimal weed removal and a temporary landscape plan submittal
and implementation as a condition of approval.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends conditional approval of the proposed SRU based on compliance with
the required review criteria and subject to the conditions listed below.
Recommended Motion
`I move to approve Resolution 09-14, thereby approving the request to extend the
temporary use located on Lot 5, Riverfront Subdivision, subject to the following
conditions:
1. A landscaping plan showing the removal of all noxious weeds on Lot 5 and the
addition of minimal, temporary landscaping improvements on the site must be
approved by the Community Development Department within 30 (thirty) days.
