Staff Report

Report date February 13, 1998
Project type Duplex Residence
Legal description Lot 26, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision — Roth Duplex
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 2 units
Address 2605 Beartrap Road
Introduction
The application describes the project as a "traditional mountain stucco duplex." This same
applicant had a similar project approved in October of 1997. The present application arranges the
units in a more linear fashion to orient the western unit to the southern views. The two units
measure 3172 and 2751 square feet respectively, and share a common driveway. Exterior
material is stucco accented by cedar belly bands.
Situated on the corner of Old Trail Road and Beartrap Road, the site has a double frontage with
an extended front yard set back. Access to the site from Beartrap Road requires significant
cutting of the bank, however, the resulting driveway is relatively flat. The neighboring property
to the northwest has encroached onto this site with landscaping, but both the parties continue to
work toward a mutually agreeable resolution.
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.
• Building Height: Additional dimensional building ties are needed to properly locate the
building on the site plan.
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.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement 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.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
