Consultant: Joseph P. Martino, Engineering Designworks, Inc.
Address: 3078 Wildridge Road
Karen Griffith made a brief presentation as outlined in the staff report. The applicant was
requesting to construct a play ground located in the backside of the lot.
Ms. Griffith used a site plan to describe the proposed play area (highlighted in pink) and the
grade modifications (highlighted in orange). The dimensions for the play area was 50 x 120,
including the grading, the proposed size would change the dimensions to 92 x 170 feet. The
orange dotted lines outlined the area of the site that would be disturbed under the current
approved plan with a 30% steep slope.
Staff was concerned about the following issues regarding the application:
1. Application does not meet the Design Guide Lines regulations, which requires that "no slope
exceed 2 to I". The upper area for the play ground would require a 1 to 1 slope, with a drop
of 12 feet with the proposed cut.
2. Impacts from the neighboring properties, given the size of the lot, would be visible form a
very large portion of the neighborhood.
3. Site topography, Section 6.22 600-1500. Ms Griffith read this section to the Commission.
4. Performance with the adopted goals, policies and programs, and the comprehensive plan
policy F 1.2. Staffs opinion specified that this proposed modification would be a visual
degradation of the site in the subdivision.

that the children could play football or soccer. He proposed to remove all the sage brush and
revegetate it with a very thick grass. He stated that the lower slope was 2 to 1, which would be
replanted with sage brush and the upper slope was 1 to 1, which would be planted with natural
grass, very little, if any, irrigation would be needed.
Mr. Hiller stated that this proposal has been received with a positive response from the adjacent
owners and that Mr. DeClavor has proposed to pay for the excavation and supervised the project.
Mr. Hiller said he respectfully disagreed with staffs comments regarding the visual impacts and
felt the views from below the lot would not change, however, there would be an impact of the
views from lots 33, 34 and 35.
Mr. Hiller stated that in his own opinion, the requested site modification would not be a
determent to the neighborhood. He used a site plan to show the location of the 3 (three) lots to
the Commission.
Commissioner Railton asked how much of the top soil would be removed. Mr. Hiller replied
that at least 12 feet of soil would be needed to back fill the hole and that the lot was cleared to
make room for the foundation. She stated that she was not in favor of the project because of the
excavation into the side of the lot and the steep grades.
Commissioner Railton suggested that the applicant incorporate the play area into an area that has
been striped of its natural growth. She was concerned that 50% of the property would be
regraded. Mr. Hiller stated that the lot would be regraded for the play and recreational area, and
that the site would be revegetated if approved.
Commissioner Karow stated that he agreed with the staff report and understood the retaining
issues in compliance with the 2 to 1 grade. He specified his concerns with Design Review
criteria number 2 (two) and number 4 (four). He recommended that irrigation be added and steps
be installed to access the field because to the steep grades. Mr. Hiller said that a stoned path
would be installed.

and comments made by other Commissioners. Mr. Hiller stated that the neighbors and children
would be allowed to use the park.

following issues: the site disturbance being to excessive and the steep slope guide lines. She said
that she agreed with staffs report and recommendations
Chairperson Hunn stated that he agreed with the staff report and recommendation.
Commissioner Railton stated that Lot 77, Block 1, Wildridge would be an ideal place for a
pocket park. Mr. Harrison said that Lot 77, Block 1, Wildridge had been approved for a building
permit. Commissioner Karow stated that the "Orchard" project was to be built there.
Chairperson Hunn stated that this type of amenity for the neighbor would be considered a "town
project", responsibility and maintenance of the town.
Joseph Martino, Engineering Designworks, Inc., was concerned about the children playing "in or
around" Wildridge Road and asked the Commission to approve this project.
Chairperson Hunn stated that there was a public park located by the Wildridge fire department
with a basketball court for the children to play at, within a reasonable walking distance. The
Town of Avon has a master plan for additional parks including a huge play area for the children.
Ms. Griffith stated that Tract D was accessible from this site and was proposed as a
neighborhood park. Construction date has not been set at this time.
