2511 Old Trail Fence 1
Staff Report – Master Sign Program Amendment –Public Hearing
Overview
This staff report contains two applications for consideration by the PZC: Minor Development Plan and
Alternative Equivalent Compliance for a proposed fence on the property.
Summary of Request
This summer, Heather Cunningham (the Applicant) and her HOA were contacted by staff regarding an
unapproved fence built on the property. All parties agree that the unapproved fence was a temporary
eyesore meant to control a dog and a new fence should undergo a formal approval process to be
built. Now, the application for a modified fence contemplates the two-rail split rail design allowed
in Wildridge, with welded mesh to control the animal. PZC is tasked with reviewing the fence for
approval. The fence is located on HOA property and the HOA has provided necessary support of the
project.
Property Description
The property is a four-plex near the gully on Old
Trail Road. The fence will be located on the
southwest side of the farthest southwest (left) house as
pictured.
Public Notice
Notice of the public hearing was published in the
October 4, 2019 edition of the Vail Daily in
accordance with Sec. 7.16.020(d) of the Avon
Development Code. Mailed notice is not required
for this application type.
Planning Analysis
Section 7.28.080(b), of the Municipal Code offers the following intent and design of fence structures in
Wildridge:
Although discouraged in Wildridge and Wildwood, in all instances fences should complement the property
and landscape rather than contain the property. Fences that delineate property boundaries are not
permitted. Fences will be considered for approval by staff only when demonstrated by the applicant that
the design is consistent with the following criteria:
i. Fence material shall be wood and no more than four (4) feet in height;
ii. Fences shall be constructed using a split rail design with no more than two (2) horizontal rails;
iii. Fences shall not delineate property lines;
iv. Fences shall not enclose an area of two thousand (2,000) square feet or more;
v. Fences shall ensure that wildlife migration is not negatively affected with the proposed fence
design;
Project Numbers AEC19007 and MNR19030

Legal Description Lot 1 Block 2 Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD
Address 2511 Old Trail Road
Prepared By David McWilliams, Town Planner
October 15, PZC meeting
2511 Old Trail Fence 2
vi. If a fence is part of a multi-family project, approval shall be received from the association and the
fence design shall be integrated with the overall landscape design of the property;
and
vii. If a fence is located on a duplex property, written approval shall be received from the adjoining
property owner and the fence design must be integrated with the overall landscape design.
Staff Response: The proposal is for a small enclosure of a similar material to existing fences in Wildridge
and does not delineate property lines. The fence is tucked in the rear of the property and is screened from
the neighboring property by existing landscaping. The application meets all fence requirements except for i.
and therefore requires the AEC process.
Development Plan Review Criteria.
The following review criteria shall be considered as the basis for a decision on development plan
applications:
1. Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code as specified in
Section 7.04.030 , Purposes;
2. Evidence of substantial compliance with Section 7.16.090, Design review;
3. Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
4. Consistency with any previously approved and not revoked subdivision plat, planned
development or any other precedent plan or land use approval for the property as applicable;
5. Compliance with all applicable development and design standards set forth in this Code,
including but not limited to the provisions in Chapter 7.20, Zone Districts and Official Zoning
Map, Chapter 7.24, Use Regulations and Chapter 7.28, Development Standards; and
6. That the development can be adequately served by city services, including but not limited to
roads, water, wastewater, fire protection and emergency medical services.
Staff Response: This application is compliant with all the applicable review Criteria, except where it
requires an AEC.
7.16.090 Design Review.
1. The design relates the development to the character of the surrounding community; or, where
redevelopment is anticipated, relates the development to the character of Avon as a whole;
2. The design meets the development and design standards established in this Development Code;
and
3. The design reflects the long-range goals and design criteria from the Avon Comprehensive
Plan and other applicable, adopted plan documents.
Staff Response: The design has been evaluated for conformance with these plans and staff has determined
the proposed design meets the requirements, except where it needs an AEC.
7.16.120 Alternative Equivalent Compliance.
Alternative equivalent compliance is a procedure that allows development to meet the intent of the
design-related provisions of the code through an alternative design. It is not a general waiver or
weakening of regulations; rather, this application procedure permits a site-specific plan that is equal to
or better than the strict application of a design standard specified in the Development Code. This
procedure is not intended as a substitute for a variance or administrative modification or a vehicle for
relief from standards in this Chapter. Alternative compliance shall apply only to the specific site for
October 15, PZC meeting
2511 Old Trail Fence 3
which it is requested and does not establish a precedent for assured approval of other requests.
AEC Review Criteria.
The PZC shall use the following review criteria as the basis for a decision on an application for
alternative equivalent compliance :
1. The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the subject design or development standard to the
same or better degree than the subject standard;
2. The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan to the
same or better degree than the subject standard;
3. The proposed alternative results in benefits to the community that are equivalent to or better
than compliance with the subject standard; and
4. The proposed alternative imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur
through compliance with the specific requirements of this Title.
Applicant Response: According to the applicant, the fence will be installed with welded mesh to keep
the dog in the yard. While the fence deviates from the design standards for Wildridge, this fence type
has been previously approved in the neighborhood and does not impact the neighborhood (Attachment
A, page 2).
Staff Response: The AEC application achieves the intent of the development standards to the same degree
without causing great impacts on adjacent properties. The fence is located to the side of the house and is
minimally obstructive from the street or adjacent properties. This property is in District 11: Northern
Residential District, which states in the introduction, "Due to the limited number of existing trees and
shrubs and the open character of the property, special care should be taken to ensure that all
structures are compatible with one another and in harmony with the natural surroundings.”
Staff Recommendation for AEC19007 Alternative Equivalent Compliance:
Staff recommends approval of the AEC application for Lot 1 Block 2 Wildridge Subdivision with the
following findings:
Findings:
1. The proposed application was reviewed pursuant to §7.16.120, Alternative Equivalent Compliance;
2. The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the subject design or development standard to
the same or better degree than the subject standard;
3. The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan to
the same or better degree than the subject standard;
4. The proposed alternative results in benefits to the community that are equivalent to or better
than compliance with the subject standard; and
5. The proposed alternative does not impose greater impacts on adjacent properties than would
occur through compliance with the specific requirements of the Code.
Recommended Motion:
"I move to approve Case #AEC19007, an Alternative Equivalent Compliance application for Lot 1 Block
2, Wildridge Subdivision together with the findings as recommended by staff."
Staff Recommendation for MNR19030 Minor Development Plan:
Staff recommends approval of the Minor Development application for Lot 1, Block 2, Wildridge
October 15, PZC meeting
2511 Old Trail Fence 4
Subdivision with the following findings and condition:
Findings:
1. The application is complete;
2. The application provides sufficient information to allow staff to determine that the application
complies with the relevant review criteria;
3. The application complies with the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
4. There is no extra demand for public services or infrastructure exceeding current capacity by the
application;
5. The design relates the development to the character of the surrounding community; and
6. The modifications qualify as a Minor Development Plan pursuant to §7.16.080 of the Development
Code.
Recommended Motion:
"I move to approve Case #MNR l 9030 a Minor Development application for Lot 1 Block 2, Wildridge
Subdivision together with the findings and condition as recommended by staff."
Attachments:
A. Application Materials
Attachment A
AEC review criteria
1. The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the subject design or development standard to
the same or better degree than the subject standard;
The fence would meet the standards as noted in the Avon Municipal Code
Attachment A
i. Fence material shall be wood and no more than four feet in height – YES that is the design
request
ii. Fences shall be constructed using a split rail design with no more than two horizontal rails –
YES that is the design request
iii. Fences shall not delineate property lines -YES property lines go way beyond this proposed
fence area
iv. Fences shall not enclose an area of two thousand square feet or more- YES The area
proposed is less than 500 square feet
v. Fences shall ensure that wildlife migration is not negatively affected with the proposed
fence design -YES There is plenty of room between homes and this fence for wildlife
migration
vi. If a fence is part of a multi-family project, approval shall be received from the association
and the fence design shall be integrated with the overall landscape design of the property. -
YES The HOA has approved this project
2. The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan to the
same or better degree than the subject standard; -YES this is the same wood split rail fence that
the Avon plan requests. The only difference is adding welded mesh between the split rails to
keep in a dog. This is the same alternative as seen all over Wildridge, including the dog park.
The town of avon has approved several fences, stating specifically that the wire mesh meets the
review criteria requirements to the same or better degree as Avon code. For example, it still
looks like a wood fence and is the same height and design allowed in Wildridge.
3. The proposed alternative results in benefits to the community that are equivalent to or better
than compliance with the subject standard; and YES – this fence will keep my dog enclosed in a
safe area. It also keeps my dog safe from other dogs who tend to be at large roaming. There is
a neighbor who refuses to follow the animal control ordinances and believes his dog should be
allowed to roam at large. This dog appears to be dangerous. The fence will protect my dog
from potentially dangerous at large dogs.
4. The proposed alternative imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur
through compliance with the specific requirements of this Title.
There are many split rail fences with mesh around the wildridge area, including the dog park.
This fence will be located on a far end unit not easily visible from the street. It is also adjacent
to a gully, making it barely visible from the street or other homes. Therefore it would mostly
only been seen by the other homeowners in the hoa, who approved the fence request.

Seasons Building MSP Amendment 1
Staff Report – Master Sign Program Amendment – Continued Public Hearing
Project Name: SGN19007
Address: 137 Benchmark Road
Location: Prepared Lot 62/63 Block 2 Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Meeting Date: October 1, 2019
Zoning: Town Center
Prepared by: David McWilliams, Town Planner
Staff Report Overview
This staff report contains one application for consideration by the PZC: Master Sign Program (MSP)
Amendment for the Seasons building. This application (Attachment A) seeks approval for an updated
Sign Program that allows greater flexibility in lighting, design, and location of signs.
Summary of Sign Program Amendment Changes
Monte Park (the Applicant) is presenting an updated MSP Amendment that responds to the PZC’s
comments from the previous meeting. The applicant has responded by narrowing the focus to only
include the new tenant’s needs by defining sign locations (attachment A, page 4).
Staff response: The changes proposed seem to address all of the questions and concerns that PZC had
at the last meeting. The changes make the Sign Program easier to administer.
Review Criteria
According to the Avon Municipal Code, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the
following items in reviewing proposed Sign Programs:
1. Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Sign Code as specified in
Section 7.32(A) Sign Code Purposes;
Staff Response: The application strikes a balance for (1): “Coordinate the type, placement, and physical
dimensions of signs”.
2. The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be
constructed and the site upon which it is to be located;
Staff Response: The material choices of the MSP are more a list of potentially banned styles. Reverse
pan channel and push through letters are proposed to be added to the list that may be scrutinized. PZC
talked about requiring lighting for businesses that would be operating at night, but the MSP does not
mandate it.
3. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements;
Staff Response: Neighboring commercial buildings include the Wyndham, and Avon Center. The sign
types are diverse but generally present a unified design.
4. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement;
Staff Response: Staff does not anticipate any diminished use of material with this amendment.
5. The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent or
neighboring property;
Staff Response: The sheer size of the building means that the property can be viewed from many
adjacent properties. The impact of the specific additions (Attachment A, 4) is anticipated to be minimal.
October 15 PZC Meeting
Seasons Building MSP Amendment 2
6. The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the
vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired;
Staff Response: Not applicable.
7. Whether the type, height, size and/or quantity of signs generally complies with the sign
code or sign program, and are appropriate for the project;
Staff Response: The Program allows for individuality, while maintaining consistency with sign
placement and general design parameters with consistent size and location standards.
8. Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether the
sign is appropriate for the determined orientation.
Staff Response: Not applicable.
Staff Recommendation:

Findings:
1. The application is complete;
2. The application provides sufficient information to allow the PZC to determine that the

5. No extra demand for public services is made by the application;
6. The design relates the development to the character of the surrounding community; and

A. Sign Program Amendment Proposal
Westgate MSP Amendment
Oct 2019
Introduction:
The purpose of this Amendment is to make accommodations for 2 nd floor tenants exterior
Signs, currently not allowed in 1994 MSP. As there are multiple buildings in Avon with second
floor tenant signs allowed on ground level of building The Westgate Building Association would
like to offer this option for their second floor tenants and Owners. A majority of the Second
floor has recently been purchased by Mangat Surgery shifting the upstairs office space to a one
tenant majority use vs. the original multi tenant use the second floor was originally utilized as .
Mangat Surgery has become the second largest tenant in the building and as such the
association is in agreement this should qua ntify them for exterior signs .
The Association feels the building naturally has area to designate signs on ground floor for the
2nd floor tenants which work well location wise with their building. The building cabinet box
application for tenants 1 -4 work functionally as they fit into a perforated permanent metal
framing system. For the entry wall mount signs the association prefers individua l letters
mounted onto the entry wall with down lighting as the cabinet box application would not blend
well in this area.
