Introduction
The applicants are proposing a 10 unit multi-family development. The units include two tri-plexes with a four- plex in the center of the property. The lot is almost two acres, with
relatively gentle slopes ranging from approximately 10 to 18 percent.
The units feature a mountain contemporary design utilizing wood siding, asphalt shingles and vinyl-clad windows.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission’s Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6.10, provide the framework for evaluation of this project. Additional guidelines and regulations are contained within (but
not limited to) the Comprehensive Plan, the Design Guidelines, the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Regulations.
Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
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 compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
Staff Comments
These are preliminary staff comments on this concept plan, and are not intended to be a complete project report. Complete review and staff comments will be provided with the final design
staff report.
Landscape concept appears to be suitable.
Because of the long length of the lot, staff supports the proposal for two driveways.
The driveways need to be widened to provide adequate back up space from the parking spaces located in front of all garage units. The standard area is a minimum of 20 feet, preferably
24 feet.
The proposed sign is in the front 10 foot sign setback.
The building design repeats many of the same elements; for example the north elevation is essentially the same design for all three units. The Design Guidelines discourage repetitive
design features. The Commission should comment on this issue. For Multi-family units, it is sometimes necessary to use repetitive features.
The design of the north elevation of buildings A and C and the west and north elevation of Building B is a very basic design which could be enhanced by trim or other features to provide
more visual interest.
The side view of the garage portion of the units is “boxy” in appearance and could benefit from architectural features and/ or trim.
Town Engineer recommends that drainage could be improved and grading reduced by increasing the elevation of the center building and lowering elevation of southern building.
Please see Town Engineer’s comments, which are attached.
One trash enclosure is shown for the ten units. Staff recommends that there be at least one more to serve Building A, due to the distance and the fact this builsing has its own separate
entrance and no pedestrian or vehicular connection ot the rest of the ocmplex.
