L18 B2 WR Condo DesignTown of Avon Final Design Staff Rortep July 1, 1997 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Report date Project type Legal description Zoning Address Introduction June 27, 1997 Four unit multi -family residential Lot 18, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision PUD -4 Units 2929 June Creek Trail The proposed four unit residential building features a "contemporary alpine" design. The building materials include a synthetic shingle roof, stucco and horizontal rough sawn Cedar siding, chimney caps and truss trim. 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: conforms to four units designated. • Lot Coverage: The proposed 12 % of building coverage conforms with the 50% maximum. • Setbacks: No proposed encroachments. • Easements: A retaining wall is shown in the side drainage and utility easement. Applicants will need to ensure wall does not interfere with utilities. A retaining wall is also proposed adjacent to the entrance to the site across the Road Maintenance, drainage and snow storage easement. This is acceptable to the Town engineer provided that the driveway is moved further south. The driveway needs to be moved to prevent grading in the adjacent property and to allow room to transition the grades in the area of the retaining wall. • Building Height: Based on ridgeline height provided (3112'8") second unit from north is 36.66 feet high. The project consultant has stated this is a labeling error and the elevation should be 3106'8". This would result in a height of 30.66 feet. • Parking: The eight garage and the four surface parking spaces exceed the parking requirement by two spaces. • Snow Storage: Appears to be adequate snow storage area.

One Aspen is labeled as 2 feet in diameter, applicant may want to change to 2 inches. 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 stucco and cedar lap siding with wooden trim and synthetic shingles appear to be quality materials commonly found throughout the subdivision. 3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. The building covers the entire width of the lot from setback to setback. The structure is located on the low part of the site which will minimize impacts of views. The landscape plan preserves a large area of native brush on the site which provides a more natural landscaping look and a large amount of open space in the front of the site. 4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography. The units step slightly down the slope to the northwest. A moderate amount of grading is required behind the structure. 5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. The units feature a variety of materials and building features to create an attractive appearance from the road. This includes the stucco and rough sawn cedar siding, wooden truss trim, dormer windows, and a varied roof line using gables and chimney caps. 6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired. The building utilizes materials and design elements found within the subdivision yet has a unique design. 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 adopted goals, policies or programs.
