L5 B3 WR Site ModTown of Avon
Site Modification Staff Report
September 2, 1997 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date August 29, 1997
Project type Storage of fill material on undeveloped lot
Legal description Lot 5, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD — Residential Duplex
Introduction
The applicant wants to take excess fill dirt from a project now under construction, and store it on
an undeveloped lot. The applicant intends to develop the lot next summer, and will be applying
for design approval and building permit this fall and winter. The imported fill will be used to
construct the driveway for the proposed duplex. Because of the steepness of the site, driveway
construction will be an essential first step.
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: n/a
• Density: n/a
• Lot Coverage: n/a
• Setbacks: n/a
• Easements: n/a
• Building Height: n/a
• Grading: The use of fill may be technically feasible; however, the impact on the site
design is significantly different than that of a retaining wall.
• Parking: n/a
• Snow Storage: n/a
• Landscaping: n/a
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.

4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
