Report date May 16, 1997
Project type Single Family-Eschenlohr Residence
Legal description Lot 39, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD -2 Residential Units
Address 4550 Saddleridge Loop
Introduction
The proposed Eschenlohr residence is a single family home with a rustic design theme featuring board and batten
siding with flagstone and log trim.
The lot is south facing, with gentle slopes on the north side of about six percent and approximately 40 percent
slopes as it drops off to the south. The home is sited primarily within the gentle north side of the site.
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: The single family home conforms with the allowed residential use.
• Density: Single-family use is 1/2 of this lot's 2 dwelling unit designation.
• Lot Coverage: 8.3 %(50% maximum).
• Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
• Easements: Four Aspen trees proposed in the 10' Slope Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement should
be relocated outside the easement.
• Building Height: 32' on the south elevation (35' maximum).
• Grading: Proposed grades conform with maximum of 2:1 slope. Proposed driveway grades conform with
Town standards.
• Parking: Three garage and seven surface parking spaces. Three required.
• Snow Storage: Snow storage area equals minimum standard of 20% of impermeable surface area.
• Landscaping: The Aspen trees should be re -located outside of the Town's Snow Storage Easement.
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 home will be constructed of materials that are found through out the Wildridge Subdivision.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The home should have minimal impacts on adjacent properties. It is in the view corridor of properties to the
north. The north elevation is 26 feet tall, which should minimize impacts on the neighbor's views. The south
side of the home steps down the slope as a two story structure.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The home is sited primarily on the flat portion of the lot and parallels the slope to conform with the site's
topography.

5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and
public ways.
The building features board and batten siding and natural log and flagstone accents. The colors are earth tones
and therefore should blend in with the site. The building should provide an attractive appearance from the
neighboring properties and roadway
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or
aesthetic will be impaired.
While the home has its own unique design, it utilizes materials used on other homes in the neighborhood and
therefore conforms to this criterion. It falls within the building height limitations and is comparable in scale
and massing to other homes in the subdivision.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the
Town of Avon.
The project is not in conflict with the Goals, policies and programs for the Town.
