Report date
Residential Unit Addition
Project type
Lot 24, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Legal description
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 2 units
Zoning
4274 Wildridge Road West – Bishop Residence
Address
Introduction
The applicants propose to build a second dwelling unit attached to their existing single-family
residence. The second dwelling unit would measure approximately 2,100 square feet.
The lot is steep and with two street frontages created by the switch back of Wildridge Road. The
proposed second residential unit would be located above the existing residence and accessed via
an independent second driveway.
The applicant is seeking the Planning & Zoning Commission’s feedback on the second driveway
and the overall architectural design.
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.
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning
Code.
2. The conformance with other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon.
3. The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed.
4. The design of site grading and drainage to minimize impacts to adjacent sites, rights-of-way
and easements.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.

Lot 24, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision; Concept Review
October 20, 1998 Planning & Zoning meeting
Staff Comments
Based upon our initial review of the project’s basic concepts, staff has the following comments.
They are not intended to constitute a complete project report. Staff will conduct a complete
review and provided a full analysis with the Final Design staff report.
Use:
The lot is zoned residential under the Wildridge PUD.
Yard, bulk and density:
The lot is zoned for two residential units, thus providing for the possibility of adding a
second unit to the existing single family residence.
Site grading, access, and maneuverability:
Though staff has some technical concerns, it is anticipated that they can be addressed with
the Final Design submittal. Overall, the site grading, access, and maneuverability appear to
provide acceptable solutions given the parcel’s steepness. Staff does not object to the second
road cut.
General architectural design:
The preliminary architecture appears compatible with the existing structure.
Context:
The proposed second dwelling unit and the connection between the two units appears
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Additional Comments:
