VI. Court at Stonebridge PUD Amendment
Property Location: Filing 3, Eaglebend Subdivision / 3000 Eaglebend Drive.
Applicant: Tyson Kennedy, representing the Stonebridge Cluster HOA
Description: The proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment is to allow short
term rentals in addition to the currently allowed uses for the Court at Stonebridge PUD. The
current uses by right and accessory uses include: single family houses, townhomes, and
existing detached garage buildings."
Discussion: Matt Pielsticker briefly described the proposed PUD amendment and the process
that has taken place thus far.
Commissioner Prince questioned why Criteria #7 and #10 were deemed not applicable. Matt
Gennett answered that -the criteria was intended to question internal circulation. He asked that
Staff leave the Criteria broad to include various forms of traffic that are inherent to Short Term
Rentals.
Commissioner Goulding asked about the process and how that has been determined. Matt
Gannett outlined the Municipal Code and schedule for PUD amendments of this type.
Commissioner Struve asked how we know if each owner was notified. Matt Pielsticker stated
that the applicant has provided a list of all property owners to all PUD homeowners as well as
homeowners within 300 feet.
Commissioner Goulding commented on the Overlay Zone District that was approved by the
Town Council.
Michelle Rampelt, Bold Real Estate and property manager for Stonebridge PUD, briefly
highlighted why the PUD Amendment is being asked for.
Commissioner Prince questioned if there were any complaints from Short Term Rentals.
Michelle Rampelt answered negatively.
The public hearing was opened and closed due to a lack of comments.
Commissioner Struve wants the HOAs to understand the legal responsibility they are taking
on. Matt Gannett read into the record the Acknowledgement Statements that is above the
signatures on the PUD application.
Commissioner Prince had no comments.
Commissioner Anderson was in favor of the proposed PUD and felt that it was supported by
the Comprehensive Plan, and is located in a good part of Town for the proposed use.
Commissioner Goulding discussed the procedure that PUD amendments go through. He
questioned if Criteria #10 comment could be modified to state that there is an existing bus
route that this property is located along. He also commented on Criteria #12 by stating that no
one knows how this use, on this scale, will affect the Town.
Action: Commissioner Prince moved to approve the PUD amendment with the conditions and
findings listed in Staff Report and with the modification of Finding 3 to move review criteria #7
and #10 to Finding 1 (thereby acknowledging their applicability); change paragraph two of
Staffs response to the Public Benefit criteria to state that "the adverse impacts are unknown
with this change in zoning rights; add the finding of fact that makes specific reference to the
proximity of the property to the bus routes; add the finding that shows almost unanimous
support from the HOA (18 of 19 contacted), noted that the final property owner lives out of the
country.
Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion and it passed with a 5-0.
DESIGN REVIEW
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 to remove the approved louvers for the existing design
approval for both duplexes.
Discussion: Jared Barnes briefly described the proposed modifications. He clarified that the
proposed modifications would only affect Residences C & D on Lot 13, Block 3, WR. Ignacio
de Iriola commented that the application originally contemplated all units on Lots 12 & 13
remove the louvers, but now only units C and D will be modified. He further stated the louvers
on units A and B would not restrict the views given the elevations in the units. He stated after
an interior designer recommended removing the louvers, and given the current economic
climate, the owners chose to remove the louvers to help the marketability of the units.
Commissioner Struve questioned why the owner did not propose this change for Buildings A
and B. He further commented that there are not two stories in the buildings A and B and
therefore they felt that it was appropriate and it could also help further differentiate the two
neighboring structures.
Commissioner Goulding requested clarification as to which lot contained which units. He felt
that the louvers provide a shadow line that would not otherwise be experienced. He stated
another benefit to the louvers would be that they would reduce the glare.
Commissioner Prince asked what would prohibit any other owner from coming in and adding
louvers after the fact. Jared Barnes responded that the Town Guidelines prohibit any exterior
modifications without first gaining approval. A discussion ensued among the Commissioners
about different exteriors on two halves of a duplex structure.
Commissioner Goulding expanded on his thoughts regarding the need for some type of trellis
or shading structure to provide shading for lower levels. He stated it could be done without
restricting the views.
Action: Struve move to approve the proposed modifications for Lot 13, Buildings C and D, with
the condition that trellis design that will not block the view, but will provide shade to lower floor
and can be approved by staff.
Commissioner Roubos 2nd the motion.
Commissioner Goulding suggested adding findings since this approval contradicted Staffs
recommendation.
Commissioner Struve added the following findings:
1. The proposed modifications further define two separate duplexes;
2. The applicant has provided mechanisms to provide shading inside the
structure;
3. The buildings are more attractive, acceptable, and protect views.
Commissioner Goulding suggests adding a fourth: the approval still provides sun shading
mechanisms.
Commissioners Struve and Roubos accept the modifications to the motion and it passes 4-0-1
with Commissioner Prince abstaining.
VIII. Other Business
• Zoning Interpretation — Lot 9, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision
Discussion: Matt Gennett briefly described the request for an interpretation.
Commissioner Goulding questioned the other 8 -unit lot within Wildridge.
Commissioner Prince questioned if there was anything additional needed to refute Eric
Heidemann's letter attached to the staff memo.
Commissioner Prince also asked if there were other instances where the Wildridge
PUD has left zoning rights to interpretation. Matt Gannett responded affirmatively.
Commissioner Anderson asked if there were any single family or duplex structures on
other lots that have a zoning designation or 8, 9, or 10 units. Matt Gannett responded
negavitely.
Mike Dantas discussed his request for a zoning interpretation and a formal motion that
captures the Planning and Zoning Commissions decision. He stated that they would
like to limit the sizes of the SF homes to approximately 2,200 sq. ft.
Commissioner Goulding clarified the request by stating that the applicant wants a
clarification on the type of structures that would be considered for Design Review. He
commented that this interpretation should be addressed on its own merits instead of
comparing it to other examples of cluster development within the Town of Avon.
Dominic Muariello clarified that there wasn't a PUD amendment.
Commissioner Anderson stated the type of dwelling was left open and therefore he
thinks there is nothing that says they can't do it.
Commissioner Prince stated that Matt Gennett didn't have the confidence to state one
way or the other. He stated the Plat was silent. He also stated the past history wasn't
the indicator about what should be built.
Commissioner Struve asked if there was any impact on water rights. Mike Dantas
clarified that the SFE maximum size was 3,000 square feet and they will be under that.
He stated that the current conditions should be considered and that single families
could work on the site.
Commissioner Roubos concurred with the decisions made by her fellow
Commissioners. She stated that the owner should prove that it works.
Commissioner Goulding stated that this lot should be allowed to develop anything from
8 separate units to a single 8-plex.
Action: Commissioner Roubos moved to state the plat clarifies density only and not
dwelling unit type. Furthermore, the applicant can apply for DR for any type of dwelling
and the Commission will determine if it works on the site.
Commissioner Struve 2nd the motion and it passed 5-0

VARIANCE AVON
C O L O R A D O
November 17, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Report date November 13, 2009
Variance type Rear 10' Setback and Easement
Legal description Lot 3, Block 3, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision
Zoning PUD
Address 1060 West Beaver Creek Boulevard
Introduction
The applicant, Richard Wheelock, is proposing a variance from a Zoning Code
requirement. The application is for a variance to construct an enclosure approximately
eight feet (8') into the required ten foot (10') rear lot setback. The rear lot setback is
also encumbered by a ten foot (10') utility easement. Section 17.08.480, "Lot Setback",
of the Avon Municipal Code states the following:
Lot Setback means the distance from a lot or site line, creek or stream measured
horizontally to a line or location within the lot or site which establishes the permitted
location of uses, structures or buildings on the site. No building projections shall be
permitted into required lot setback areas, either above or below grade, except that there
shall be no restrictions on walk and steps. No encroachment into easements or stream
setbacks shall be permitted.
The subject property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and does have
language that speaks toward protrusions allowed within the setback area. According to
Ordinance 94-10, an ordinance providing for the rezoning of the subject property from
Residential High Density Commercial (RHDC) to PUD, two (2) encroachments are
allowed into the rear lot setback: roof overhangs and a trash enclosure as indicated on
the PUD Development Plan. The existing conditions of the rear lot setback area include
the placement of mechanical equipment, secondary exits covered with shed roofs, and
a sidewalk.
Attached to this report are a vicinity map (Attachment A), the application submitted by
the applicant (Attachment B), photographs showing the existing conditions within the
rear lot setback (Attachment C), a reduced plan set outlining the proposal (Attachment
D), and Ordinance 09-15 (Attachment E). A full size plan set will be available at the
meeting for your review.

Variance — 10' Setback and Easement Requirement
November 17, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of A�ON
Variance Criteria
According to Section 17.36.040 of the Avon Municipal Code, the Planning & Zoning
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to this requested variance:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and
structures in the vicinity;
Staff Response: The requested variance will not be overly intrusive on any
existing or potential uses and structures within the immediate vicinity.
Immediately north of the proposed variance location is Sunridge, a multi -family
residential development. The layout of that development places the housing
units to the northside of their property with a parking lot on the southside
adjacent to the Westgate PUD. Although the proposed setback variance will
allow for structures being placed closer to the adjacent property, the
encroachment will only affect the parking lot, not any residential units, and
therefore should have minimal effect on the neighboring property owners.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a
specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment
among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this Title without grant of special
privilege;
Staff Response: Variances for setback encroachments have been approved in
the past throughout the town. Most of these variances were located in the
Industrial/Commercial (IC) zone district, approved in the late Eighties (80s) and
early nineties (90s), and were for parking within the front yard setback. Another
instance within the IC zone district has allowed for the construction of a stairwell
and conference room within a setback, while another variance was approved for
the construction of a pool within a front setback at the Christie Lodge.
Within close proximity to the subject property there has only been a single
variance approved. It was for the construction of parking garages within the
sideyard setback adjacent to the Railroad tract on Lot 8, Block 3, BMBC
(Bridgewater Terrace). Even in comparison to the previous variances, the
proposed variance may still be viewed as a special priviledge. The subject
proposal asks for an encroachment to provide storage for the primary use which
is similar to that approved at Bridgewater Terrace, the only difference being the
previous variance built under existing zoning where as the subject property
gained approval of a PUD. Furthermore, the PUD already contemplated setback
encroachments as outlined previously in this report. Staff has determined that
alternative options, although not as convenient, do exist and would not require
the use of the lot setback or an easement encroachment.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety;
Staff Response: The proposed variance will affect public utilities and public
safety. The proposal would enclose a portion of the walkway that services the
secondary exits for the first floor units, thus limiting safe exiting in the case of an
emergency. Also the construction of the enclosure would be located upon a

utility easement and to this date the applicant has not provided letters from all the
utility companies that have an interest in the easement stating their approval of
this proposal. Staff suggests that if the Commission deems the proposed
variance approvable, the applicant should provide written approvals from all of
the local utility companies and submit that to staff prior to any approval being
granted for the proposed variance.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the proposed
variance.
Staff Response: The Planning and Zoning Commission has not requested any
additional information therefore this review criteria is not applicable.
Findings Required
Section 17.36.050 of the Avon Municipal Code requires the Planning & Zoning
Commission to make the following written findings before granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the district,
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity;
3. That the variance is warranted for one (1) or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict, literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Title,
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zone,
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends DENIAL of the Lot Setback Variance request for a storage enclosure
within the ten foot (10') rear lot setback and easement on Lot 3, Block 3, Benchmark at
Beaver Creek Subdivision, due to the findings as outlined in the attached Resolution 09-
15.

Introduction
November 11, 2009
New Single-family Residences
Lot 9, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision
PUD — 8 Units
1051 W. Wildwood Road
Jeff Manley of Martin Manley Architects, representing the owner of this Wildridge
Subdivision property, has submitted a Sketch Design application for three (3) single-
family homes with a shared driveway off Wildwood Road. The applicant recently
gained Final Design approval from the Commission for two (2) fourplex structures;
however, after submitting for a building permit the owner began to explore different
development opportunities.
At the November 3, 2009 meeting the Commission made the determination that
single-family structures would be permissible on the property, which holds an "8 Unit"
maximum density designation. The type of building was not called out on the
Wildridge PUD with the 8 -unit designation; only the density was characterized. The
interpretation was made with the caveat that the single-family structure type would be
subject to the design approval to see if the site could handle this type of construction.
It should be noted that all of the surrounding structures are multi -family (i.e. three units
or more), with the exception of the Foxx 4 PUD Amendment on Lot 2, Block 5, which
was rezoned from a "6 unit" designation to a two (2) duplex property.
The proposal contemplates an almost identical access design and layout as the
previously approved design plan. The driveway climbs at 8% to where it meets the
individual building entrances. As proposed, this will be phased construction and the
applicant is seeking approval of the first three (3) single-family residences. Each
additional unit would require separate approvals. Staff will ask that the first phase be
designed in it's entirety without the reliance of improvements necessary for future
homes.
The three homes will each measure approximately 2,184 square feet and will be
grouped closely together with 9' between the first two buildings, and 6' between the
second and third respectively. The floor plans and building elevations are all identical.

The proposed buildings are to have stucco as the primary exterior building material,
and each will contain three (3) levels.
Included in this report are Staffs initial comments on the design, all of the mandatory
review critiera, and an aerial vicinity map. A reduced plan set containing a site plan,
floor plans, conceptual landscaping, and elevations plans is attached hereto.
Staff Comments
Based upon a preliminary review, this application appears to be in compliance with all
provisions of the Avon Municipal Code. The application is also in general compliance
with the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial, and Industrial Desiqn Review
Guidelines.
Staff has concerns with the similarity of the units, and requests that further
differentiation between the structures be demonstrated with a Final Design Submittal.
Included in your packet is a "Type 2" conceptual elevation which demonstrates some
variation in building elevations; however, additional variation and architectural
variation should be provided. The similarity could pose conflict with review Criteria #7
- The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity
that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
The predominant building material is stucco, with vertical wood siding to break up the
front and rear elevations. There is a clear lack of interest with the side building
elevations. And while it is recognized that these building elevations will be largely
non-visible given the close proximity of the structures to one -another, additional
building materials and/or interest should be provided on the side elevations at Final
Design plan submittal in order to demonstrate further compliance with the intent of the
Design Guidelines.
Since this will be a phased project, it is expected that the first phase will be
demonstrated in its entirety at Final Design. For example, only the grading, retaining
walls and the limits of disturbance necessary for Phase I will be clearly defined. There
should be no driveway or retaining walls leading to the upper units if they will not be
constructed until a yet to be determined date.
In addition to the phasing of this project, Staff will ask that the applicant indicate their
intention with respect to the future subdivision of this property. It appears that the only
way to subdivide the parcel without creating non -conforming lots will be to create
"patio lots"; small lots surrounding the individual homes, with a large common parcel
for access, maintenance, landscaping, and utilities.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission shall evaluate the design of this sketch plan utilizing the specific
Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code;

2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains;
3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed
improvements;
4. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D
of the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Desion
Review Guidelines;
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;
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;
7. The objective that no improvement.be so similar or dissimilar to others in the
vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired; and
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted
Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
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 November 17t , 2009 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.
