L20 B3 WR Duplex DesignTown of Avon
Final Design Staff Report
August 5, 1997, Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date August 1, 1997
Project type One half of a Duplex Residence
Legal description Phase II, Lot 20, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision —
Vedder Duplex
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 2 units
Address 4224 Wildridge Road West
Introduction
This duplex is unique in that its approval was modified in October, 1996, dividing the duplex
into 2 phases and granting the southern unit Final Design approval as a stand alone project. This
was done to accommodate occupying the southern unit prior to starting the northern unit's
construction. Though work on the southern unit still continues, the applicant is now requesting
Final Design approval for the remaining northern unit. The original project was approved in
May, 1995.
The northern unit maintains the same architectural style as originally approved and will match
the southern unit's colors and materials. Access to the northern unit is already established with
the exception of the large retaining wall north of the parking area. Two items of note are the
proposal for a future glass roof over the rear patio and the unimproved secondary garage access
on the structure's east side.
It should be noted that due to the project's extensive driveway and distance from the road that
fire and emergency response to these residences is significantly hindered.
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 2 dwelling unit designation.
• Lot Coverage: The proposed 11% of total building coverage conforms with the 50%
maximum.

• Building Height: The northern unit's largest scaled height of 31' 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 conform with Town standards. To provide traction and
prevent erosion, staff does recommend the use of some form of permanent surfacing on
the unimproved secondary garage access .
• Parking: The two (2) garage and the two (2) surface parking spaces conform with the
required three (3) spaces.
• Snow Storage: Submitted plans show snow storage area equal to the minimum standard
of 20% of the proposed impermeable surface area.
• Landscaping: Submitted landscape plan appears suitable.
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 structures will be constructed of materials that are compatible with the criteria of the
town guidelines.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The second phase will not create any additional impacts to adjacent properties than already
exist with Phase I's construction.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
In its previously approved location, the second phase appears as compatible to the site's
topography as phase 1.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
The massing appears compatible and appropriate for both the site and the neighborhood.
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 project should not impair 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.
Generally conforms with the adopted Goals, Policies, and Programs for the Town of Avon.
