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.
The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning Code.
The conformance with other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon.
The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed.
The design of site grading and drainage to minimize impacts to adjacent sites, rights-of-way and easements.
The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to minimize site disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or other significant
alteration of existing topography.
The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways, with respect to architectural style, massing, height, orientation to street,
quality of materials, and colors.
The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
Staff Comments
Based upon our initial review of the project’s basic elements, staff has the following comments. These comments are not intended as a complete project report. Staff will conduct a complete
review and provided a full analyst with the Final Design staff report.
Zoning: The building appears to meet setback and height requirements.
Use: The duplex use conforms to zoning requirements.
Appearance: The building is oriented to views, but not oriented to the general slope of the site.
Compatibility: The design appears more suited to a flatter site. Consequently, the eastern (lower) portion of the lot will require considerable fill to accommodate the structure.
Based on the building’s orientation and amount of required site modification, staff feels that the proposed design does not meet criteria # 5 and # 6, and recommends that the applicant
modify the design accordingly before proceeding to final design review.
