Final Design Staff Report
March 2, 1999 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date
December 20, 2019
Project type
Single-family Residence
Legal description
Lot 64, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 2 units
Address
2376 Fox Lane
Introduction
The proposed single-family residence is a contemporary 3,300 square foot structure, with a parapet deck and hot tub centered atop the structure. Exterior materials consist of beige stucco
with stone and wood accents.
The site is at the end of the Fox Lane cul-de-sac. It slopes steeply down from the road at approximately 24%. The proposed structure is located low on the site away from the road. A
long switchback driveway provides access.
The applicant withdrew this project’s original Design Review application in response to concerns regarding the structure’s location on the site. Following general Concept Design approval
of a revised building location further up the site, the applicant has now re-submitted plans for Final Design Review.
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.
Allowed use: Conforms with the allowed residential use.
Density: Single-family use conforms to this lot’s two dwelling unit designation.
Lot Coverage: The proposed 8.8% of building coverage conforms to the 50% maximum.
Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
Easements: The cutting within the 10 foot Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement should be eliminated. Staff believes this can be accomplished by lengthening the driveway’s
upper retaining wall.
Building Height: The largest determined height of 33.5 feet on the north elevation conforms to the 35-foot maximum limit.
Grading: All proposed slope grades conform with the maximum of 2:1 slope guideline. However, the grading plan indicates that the proposed driveway grade is steeper than
allowed by Town standards; and drainage from the driveway and the primary snow storage area is towards the residence.
Parking: The two (2) garage and the two (2) surface parking spaces exceed the required three (3) spaces.
Snow Storage: Submitted plans 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.
Using centerline grades, the driveway now meets the Town standard of 4% grade for the first 20-feet and the recommended 10% grade for the main body.
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 structure’s new location further up the site is more compatible with the cul-de-sac’s established streetscape. This location also appears to lessen obstruction of neighboring views
of existing residences on the western edge of Saddle Ridge Loop.
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.
Staff Recommendation
Based upon the project’s general conformance with the above considerations, staff recommends approval with one condition.
Recommended Motion
“I move to approve the proposed single-family residence for Lot 64, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated February 17, 1999, with the following
condition:
That the site plan be revised at time of building permit submittal to eliminate any cutting of the Town of Avon’s 10 foot Slope Maintenance, Drainage, and Snow Storage Easement.”
