According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6. 10, the Commission

complimented with Spruce trees, plantings of Aspens, and shrub beds with Potentilla, service
berries and mountain mahogany.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The home has been placed relatively in line with the existing topo lines. The placement takes
advantage of the west sloping site with two stories on the west side of the site and one story on the
east side of the site. A moderate amount of grading is required. The driveway grades are less than
the maximum grades allow. Thus, the proposed development is generally compatible with the
existing topography.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
The visual appearance of the home from neighboring properties and public ways is
acceptable. The landscaping is grouped in plantings and adds interest to the site.
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
The home is of a basic, but unique design that should not have any negative impact on
surrounding properties.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
The proposed single family residence is in conformance with the adopted goals, policies and
programs for the Town including the Design Guidelines and steep slope regulations
including;
• Snow storage has been provided
• Maximum slopes have been complied with
• Lighting will have frosted glass
• Landscape plantings compliment the structure and the aspens and spruce trees and shrubs
plantings are appropriate for the harsh and dry climate.
