Project type
Single family residence
Legal description
Lot 19, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision

Residential Duplex (PUD)
Address

Introduction
The proposal is for a large single family structure featuring stucco siding with stone trim, asphalt shingle roofs and a varied roofline with gables, dormers and turrets on both ends
of the unit.
The lot is pie shaped with approximately 20 percent slopes in the building pad area and, 50-60 percent slopes adjacent to the road.
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.
Staff comments are included in this section only when the design does not appear to conform to Town regulations, or where more information may be helpful
Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
Density: Zoning allows 2 units; a single-family use is permitted.
Easements: Retaining walls encroach into the 10' Slope Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement.
Building Height: 31.5 feet (35 feet allowed).
Grading: In staff’s opinion, the building size and orientation creates the need for excessive grading, disturbance and retaining walls.
Snow Storage: Snow storage is shown in the Town’s easement, which is not acceptable.
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 building size and orientation create significant alteration of the lot. The building does not step with the topography of the lot as recommended by the steep slope guidelines.
The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The amount of site disturbance may impact adjacent properties, particularly during construction. The structure is large for the lot and covers the lot from side setback to side setback.
The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The site design is not compatible with the topography as discussed under numbers 2 and 3 above. The site is substantially altered to accommodate the structure, rather than the structure
being designed to fit the site.
The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
The amount of site disturbance may create an unnatural, altered appearance of the lot.
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.
The design is in conflict with the steep slope guidelines.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of this design.
Recommended Motion
I move to deny approval of the final design for a single family home on Lot 19, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, as depicted on the application and plan set dated September 22, 1997,
based on findings it does not meet design review criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and7.
