Final Design Staff Report
August 18, 1998 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date
December 20, 2019
Project type
Duplex Residence
Legal description
Lot 22, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 2 units
Address
2960 June Creek Trail
Introduction
The proposed duplex features units measuring approximately 2,300 and 2,600 square feet, gray stucco, board and batten siding, and “weathered wood” asphalt shingles.
The site is located at the end of the June Creek Trail cul-de-sac and has the June Creek access easement running across its southern border. The site is very steep with nearly half of
its area exceeding a 40% slope. Access requires cutting a nine-foot bank.
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:
The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning Code.
Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
Easements: Town staff recommends moving the driveway eastward to lessen potential impact on the June Creek access road. This modification may require additional retaining walls but is
not anticipated to affect the duplex structure or the building pad. All other easement encroachments are acceptable.
Building Height: The largest scaled height of 35' on the Unit A’s west elevation conforms with the 35' maximum limit. Extreme care will be required during construction to ensure the
maximum height limit is not violated.
Grading: All proposed slope grades conform with the maximum of 2:1 slope guideline and the proposed driveway grades conform with Town standards.
Parking: The two (2) garage and the two (2) surface parking spaces per unit exceed the required three (3) spaces per unit.
Snow Storage: Submitted plans a show snow storage area equal to the minimum standard of 20% of the proposed impermeable surface area.
Landscaping: Submitted landscape plan appears suitable.
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 June Creek access easement and road runs along the property’s southern border. Staff believes that moving the driveway eastward should reduce the potential for conflict between users
of the trail and vehicles accessing and departing this project. This will also facilitate any future improvements that may occur to the June Creek Trail Head.
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 structure’s stepping and orientation parallel to the site help minimize site impacts.
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.
The project appears to generally conform with the Town’s guidelines and standards.
