seed mixture. This treatment will be particularly important between the driveway and
Bear Trap Road.

3. The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed.
4. The design of site grading and drainage to minimize impacts to adjacent sites, rights-of-way
and easements.
Grading plan will need to be revised to contain grading within the subject property boundaries.

disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or other
significant alteration of existing topography.
6. 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.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
