As that is the case, you have requested that I correspond to you regarding the scheduled hearing. Therefore, on behalf of Tanavon, I request that the Barrancas submittal not be scheduled for the August 21 Planning Commission hearing due to the fact that I will resubmit the application with the addition of Lot 38 as part of the zoning and shall designate that lot as open space. When I supply you with that and the other revisions that we discussed, I would like to be re- scheduled as soon as possible. -__.._Thank y_o Ray A.

The fence is proposed to cover approximately 20% of the lot. The fence proposed is a three -tier split rail fence covered with wire mesh.. Attached you will find an outline of the fence request provided by the applicant. Design Review Considerations According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 4. 10, the Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project: 1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning Code. • Allowed use: Conforms to the allowed residential use. • Lot Coverage: The split rail fence proposed extends to both sides of the property, though lot coverage is only 20 %. • Setbacks: The split rail fence does not impact any setbacks or easements. • Building Height: The applicant's request is consistent with the Division of Wildlife recommendations that fences should not exceed 48" in height. The fence is to be covered with heavy gauge wire, lining the inside to prevent the applicant's dog from escaping. • Landscaping: The fence does blend with some mature sagebrush located on the property; however, as proposed, will be quite visible from all roads and properties below the lot. 2. The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed. The split rail fence is consistent with the Town's requirements for fencing materials. 3. 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.

Staff is concerned the area proposed for fencing is far too large for the property and due to the location of the property on the top of a very visible hillside, will be very noticeable. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired. The fenced area as proposed, appears to be too large and will `run' across the back of the property without adequate screening from properties below the hillside. The applicant has not demonstrated that the project aesthetics will not impair property values. 5. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends denial of the fence application for Lot 45, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision. Recommended Motion I move to recommend denial for the split rail fence on Lot 45, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision. If you've any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please don't hesitate to call me at 748.4002 or stop by the Community Development Department.

N Planner II Town of Avon Re: Proposed fence Lot 45, Block 4, Wildridge Tambi, Here is a clearer copy of the site plan showing the proposed fence. I have also included a photo of the area on the north side of the house that I want to enclose with the fence. Unfortunately the snow depth is about two feet deep in the sage, so it is hard to tell how tall the bushes are. Being able to enclose the area beyond the lawn to the property line is an important part of this project. A major reason for the fence is to contain our dog and create a safe play area for our children. If I restrict the fence to just the lawn area, it would restrict the dog to just the lawn area, thus creating a minefield which would not be conducive to creating a safe play area. Also, if we put the fence out in the sage it would be less visible than right along the edge of the lawn, just as we are doing by placing it along the bottom of the bank instead of the top (on the west side). Overall, what we are requesting is to fence a relatively small portion of the entire property. This fence could not be construed as enclosing the boundary of the lot. I don't think that we are asking too much here by wanting to include the additional area on the north side of the property. Please let me know if I can be of any help.

Design for tenant signs and directional signs for this project were approved in conjunction with a previous application. The application under consideration consists of two proposed tenant signs located in the center of Building D, units 208 and 209, and the relocation of an existing cabinet sign for Vail Valley Trading and Loan. The two proposed tenant signs located in the center archways of Building D at Chapel Square would exceed the allowed size requirements of the MSP. The proposed sizes of the two tenant signs are 2 feet 6 inches high by 12 feet 6 inches long. The MSP requires tenant signs to be 2 feet high by 10 feet long. All other requirements of the MSP will be satisfied on the two signs. The other part of the application consists of relocating the existing cabinet sign, which contains the tenant's logo, on the post between the two archways. Attached to this report is a photograph indicating the location of the proposed sign. The proposed relocation of the cabinet sign does not conform to the MSP with regard to tenant signage. Also included as an attachment, is a letter from the property owner requesting this amendment. Design Review Considerations According to the Town of Avon's Sign Code, Section 15.28.070 Design Review Criteria, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed designs: Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748 -4030 Fax (970) 949 -5749 Tract B -2 Block 2, BMBC, MSP Amendment August 21, 2001 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 2 of 2 1. The suitability of the improvement including materials with which the sign is to be constructed and the site upon it is to be located. The proposed sign materials consist of bronze aluminum for the sign face with routed out white lettering with interior neon illumination. The cabinet sign consists of a red and white Plexiglas face with interior illumination. 2. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements. The immediate area consists of retail, personal services, accommodation units and office space. 3. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement. The MSP states that the tenant sign faces are aluminum with routed out lettering and interior illumination. The existing cabinet sign is a metal frame with a Plexiglas face. 4. The visual impact of any proposed improvement as viewed from any adjacent or neighboring property. The proposed tenant signs will be larger than the adjacent signs; however, they will be proportional in size to the arch that will contain the signs. The proposed relocation of the cabinet sign is not permitted under the MSP and the logo cabinet sign is more visible from adjacent properties. 5. The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired. The proposed cabinet sign will have a greater visual impact in comparison to all other tenant signs in the development. However, the cabinet sign is similar to other signs in adjacent developments. 6. Whether the type, height, size and /or quality of signs generally complies with the sign code and are appropriate for the project. The MSP states that tenant sign dimensions are to be two feet in height and ten feet in width. The proposed tenant signs are two feet six inches in height and twelve feet six inches in length. The sign will look proportional in size within the archway. The relocation of the existing cabinet sign is not allowed by the MSP. 7. Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic and whether the sign is appropriate for the determined orientation. The primary orientation of the proposed sign is to vehicular traffic. The proposed orientation of the signs is appropriate. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Master Sign Program Amendment for Chapel Square PUD due to this application being the best solution to maintaining the Master Sign Programs intent while allowing for the signage of a pre- existing tenant.

History When Tenant leased its space almost five years ago, it installed the signage that currently exists on the building which was in compliance with the then approved sign program for the then "Avon Market Center ". At that time, Developer was in the general planning stages for the Chapel Square development. Nothing was absolute with regards to the re- development of Building D or the Chapel Square project as it is today. Needless to say, when Tenant executed its lease, the existing Master Sign Program was not contemplated. Analysis Tenant is of the opinion that it has the right to keep its existing red channel letter sign reading "Loans" and logo on the facade of the building because its rights are "Grand Fathered" in. Obviously, Developer would like Tenant to comply with the existing Master Program, but the situation is such, legally, that Developer may not be able to force Tenant to comply at this time. Solution After the aforementioned legal review of the situation, Tenant and Developer have agreed to a compromise whereby Tenant will remove its existing raceway and red channel letter sign reading "Loans ", and relocate its existing logo to another area on the building, provided, however, that a as condition to this change, the Town of Avon approves a minor variance in the Master Sign Program to allow for Tenant's oval bronze cabinet signs to be slightly larger then those currently allowed in the Master Sign Program. Because the archways in front of Tenant's store are larger than those elsewhere in the Building, Tenant would like to make its oval signs 12' 6" wide by 30" high making its signs proportional to the size of the archways in front of its store (please see color renderings attached hereto). Further, Tenant would like to relocate its existing logo to the area directly "above" the rock - covered column located in front of its store ( "above" meaning the bottom of logo to be no more than three (3) inches above top of rock column). We feel this is a reasonable compromise in that it lowers the logo to an area between the two oval cabinet signs and not high on the facade of the Building where there is no other signage. Summary In summary, if the Town of Avon allows for this variance, Tenant will remove its red channel letter sign reading "Loans" and replace it with new signs that match the other signs in the development in color, location and in shape. Also, if this variance is approved, Tenant will relocate its logo to an area more conducive with the other signage further enhancing the overall aesthetics of Building D.
