Introduction
March 28, 1997
Duplex Residence
Lot 7, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Planned Unit Development (PUD) - Two units
5021 East Wildridge Road
This proposed contemporary L-shaped duplex is approximately 4420 square feet. The structure
would create a courtyard of driveway, planting area and turnarounds. The primary exterior
material is stucco accented with "cultured stone" river rock and wood beams, brackets and posts.
The primary living areas are oriented to the south for views and sun.
The site slopes downhill from East Wildridge road. The building and driveway envelope would
be on a slope of approximately 25%.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6. 10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
• Allowed use: Conforms with the allowed residential use.
• Density: Duplex use conforms with this lot's 2 dwelling unit designation.
• Lot Coverage: The proposed 8% of building coverage conforms with the 50% maximum.
• Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
• Easements: No proposed encroachments and proposed grading in the 10 two Slope
Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement is acceptable.
• Building Height: The largest determined height of 35 foot of the larger unit's main
dormer on the south elevation conforms with the 35 foot maximum limit.
• Grading: All proposed slope grades conform with the maximum of 2:1 slope guideline
and the proposed driveway grades conform with Town standards.
• Parking: The four (4) garage and the four (4) surface parking spaces exceed the required
five (5) spaces.

of 20% of the proposed impermeable surface area.

April 1, 1997 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
The project's design appears to conform with the Zoning Code and other applicable
regulations of the Town.
2. The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be
constructed and the site upon which it is to be located.
The proposed materials appear to all be high quality, durable and low maintenance as
encouraged by the Planning & Zoning Commission's Design Guidelines. All proposed colors
are either natural or earthtone (please refer to the plan set's elevation drawings). The
proposed exterior light fixtures are wall lanterns with seedy glass that should mitigate off-site
glare or light trespass (please refer to the attached cut -sheet).
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
Due to this project's proposed location on the site and its stepping with the site's topography
both the solar and view corridors of neighboring properties should not be unnecessarily
effected. No setback encroachments are proposed. The design, therefore, appears to minimize
site impacts to adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The site for this proposed duplex is south facing and slopes at approximately 25%. The
building's components step down the hill as recommended by the Steep Slope Development
Guidelines.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
The horizontal and vertical articulation of the structure should create a massing that seems
compatible and appropriate for both the site and the neighborhood.
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
Due to the design's massing articulations and responsiveness to the site, this structure should
present a positive addition to the architecture found in Wildridge. Thus, this project should
not impair either the monetary or aesthetic values of neighboring properties.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
This proposed residential duplex generally conforms with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
