Project type
Duplex
Legal description
Lot 51, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning
PUD-2 Units
Address
2460 Saddleridge Loop
Introduction
The proposed Garver/Arnot Duplex is a mountain contemporary style building with shiplap siding. The project is a “primary-secondary” style in that one unit is substantially larger.
A garage separates the two units. The applicants are proposing access along the south side of the property, with the garage doors facing south, away from the street.
There is an existing road cut onto the property. The lot faces west and slopes downward toward the street approximately 20 percent.
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a concept plan review of the application on June 2, 1998. Issues discussed included:
Access to the site.
Massing of the building.
The simple architectural design and trim materials.
Re-vegetation of existing driveway cut
Providing more landscaping
The plans have been revised to address these comments. More landscaping and a stone planter have been added, the entryway feature enhanced, the window design enhanced and trim has been
added.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission’s Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 4.10, the Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project. A written statement
is provided for criteria 2-7 only if there is a concern or if elaboration is needed.
The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning Code.
Allowed use: Duplex conforms.
Density: conforms to this lot’s 2 dwelling unit designation.
Lot Coverage: 12% building coverage conforms to 50% maximum.
Setbacks: No encroachments.
Easements: No encroachments.
Building Height: 27' height conforms to 35' maximum.
Grading: the Engineering Department recommends moving the lower (western) part of the driveway to the north. This will reduce the cuts that are required and the need for retainage.
The site plan should also address other engineering issues including slopes exceeding the 2:1 standard and the height of the retaining walls. The limits of disturbance line must include
all areas that will be graded. The grading plan also indicates drainage into garage.
Parking: four garage and one surface parking spaces conform
Snow Storage: exceeds 20%.
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.
