Introduction
The owners of Chapel Square have requested two exterior changes to the design based on “value engineering” that was done to meet financing requirements.
The first revision is to reduce the length of the arcade on the west and north end of Building B and the north end of Building C, which faces the Chapel.
The second revision is to change the roof material over the building entrances on the south side of Building B from a standing metal seam to an asphalt composite to match the main roof
material.
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:
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.
In staff’s opinion removal of the building arcade on the north side of Building B will be in conflict with this criterion. The north side of Building B is adjacent to Chapel Place,
which will be one of the connecting streets to property to the east. This side of the building will be highly visible. Also, the arcade will provide a better pedestrian area, to shield
pedestrians from weather and Staff believes the removal of the arcade from the west side of Building B and the north side of Building C will be acceptable, because these are the sides
of the buildings and are not the primary pedestrian areas.
Staff believes the change in the lower roof material at the building entrances will be acceptable since it will match the main roof of the building.
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 Recommendation
Approve the roofing material change and the deletion of the arcade from the west side of Building B and the north side of Building C, and deny the deletion of the arcade from the north
side of Building B.
Recommended Motion
I move to approve the roofing material change and the deletion of the arcade from the west side of Building B and the north side of Building C, and deny the deletion of the arcade from
the north side of Building B as depicted on plan sets dated received July 17, 1998.
