Sign type
Freestanding
Legal description
Lot 36, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Zoning
Residential Duplex (RD)
Address

Introduction
The applicant desires to place a freestanding sign identified the West Beaver Creek Lodge B&B. The sign consist of two sculpted beavers upon a large rock with the sign in the background.
The sign will be illuminated at night by indirect lighting.
Though the submitted site plan shows the sign located in the public ROW, the applicant has agreed to move the sign to the deck in front of the duplex’s two front doors. As a result of
the sign’s relocation, the applicant anticipates the need to increase the actual sign area and lettering to increase its legibility from the road. The applicant will present a representation
of the larger sign at the meeting.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Town of Avon’s Sign Code, Section 15.28.070 Design Review Criteria, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed designs:
The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be constructed and the site upon it is to be located.
The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements.
The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement.
The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent or neighboring property.
The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired.
Whether the type, height, size, and/or quality of signs generally complies with the sign code, and are appropriate for the project.
Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether the sign is appropriate for the determined orientation
