Final Design Staff Report
June 18, 1996 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date June 13, 1996
Project type Duplex
Legal description Lot 33, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) - 2 Units
Address 2649 Beartrap Road
Introduction
The applicant presented a Concept Design to the Commission on June 4, 1996. The Commission
made the following general comments and suggestions to the applicant:
1. Provide further samples of the proposed roof material and its color.
The applicar7t will provide this information at the meeting.
2. Add visual interest possibly a change in depth between the two garages.
Landscaping has been added to the island between the two garages.
3. Lower the garage floor elevation to lessen the driveway steepness.
The garage floors r•emai17 at the 01-igir7al elevation.
4. Provide chimney caps.
Stucco chimney caps have been added.
5. Add landscaping to the north of the building.
Landscaping has been added to the north side of the building.
This is a southwestern style duplex featuring a low, flat roof. The exterior material will be stucco
accented with wood logs and headers. The applicant feels that the long, narrow shape of the
structure maximizes both the southern views and the solar access, while also fitting the building
into the south sloping lot. Colors are a blend of sand colored earthtones and rich wood stains.
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 two (2) dwelling unit designation.
• Lot Coverage: The proposed 13.5% building coverage conforms with the 50% maximum.
• Setbacks: No encroachments.
• Easements: No encroachments, and grading in the 10' Slope Maintenance and Snow
Storage Easement is acceptable. Staff, however, feels that increasing the driveway radius
would improve driveway accessibility and lessen the amount of encroachment into the 10'
Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement.
• Building Height: The largest scaled height of 25' on the south (front) elevation conforms
with the 35' maximum limit.
• Grading: All proposed slope grades conform with the maximum of 2:1 slope guideline and
the proposed driveway grades generally conform with Town standards.
• Parking: The four (4) garage and the four (4) surface parking spaces exceed the required
four (4) spaces.
• Snow Storage: Submitted plans show snow storage area meets the minimum standard of
20% of the impermeable surface area.
• Landscaping: Submitted landscape plan appears suitable. Staff does recommends an
additional note on the Landscape Legend that all Narrowleaf cottonwood trees be a
minimum of 2" in caliper.
Based upon the above evaluations, this proposed project generally conforms with the Zoning
Code and other applicable Town regulations.
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 table below and Sheet "A4" of the plan set).

All exterior lighting will be white cylinder fixtures with a maximum capacity of 75 watt bulbs.
These fixtures should limit off-site glare (light trespass) and light pollution. Utility meters are
to be located on the building in an enclosed cabinet.
The site slopes to the north with only 2% of the lot exceeding 40% slope. The proposed
building site is suitable for the duplex.

3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The duplex will be located well within all building setbacks. Coupled with its relatively low
height, solar and view corridors of neighboring properties should not be affected. Overall, this
proposed design should not pose any unnecessary impacts to adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The site slopes upward to the north at roughly 20%. The duplex runs parallel with the slope
and the foundation steps up the hillside. As mentioned above, staff recommends that the
radius of the driveway be increased to improve accessibility and lessen the amount of
encroachment into the 10' Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement.
Overall, this project appears generally compatible with the site's topography and conforms
with the Town's Steep Slope Guidelines.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
As a result of the southwestern design, this duplex has a very linear mass that extends across
the majority of the site's front yard. The two units are slightly off -set, providing some relief
from the appearance of one continuous mass. The applicant has added stucco flue caps to
mitigate the starkness of the metal flue caps. Overall, the proposed duplex should present a
compatible appearance as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values,
monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
This proposed southwestern duplex is similar in style and mass to other residences in the
Wildridge Subdivision. Its architecture provides many interesting surface planes and depth
changes. Staff believes this project's compatibility and quality of design should not negatively
affect either the monetary or aesthetic values of other properties in the vicinity.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
This proposed duplex generally conforms with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for
the Town of Avon.
Staff Recommendation
Based upon the project's general conformance with the above Design Review Considerations,
staff recommends approval with conditions, as described in the following recommended motion:
1. Prior to application for building permit, the driveway be redesigned to accommodate greater
accessibility and lessen the amount of encroachment into the 10' Slope Maintenance, Drainage
and Snow Storage Easement.
2. The Landscape Legend be amended to state that all Narrowleaf Cottonwood Trees will be a
minimum of 2" in caliper.
I All flues, flashing and galvanized metal will be painted to match surrounding materials.
