Introduction
Andy Hadley has submitted a conceptual site plan for Lot 111, Block 1, Wildridge. The plan proposes 5 single-family homes sharing a common access drive. The applicants are working
on a PUD and preliminary subdivision plan for submittal in the near future. Victor Mark Donaldson Architects will present the plan at your work session on March 16, 1999. The purpose
of the work session is to get general feedback on the site plan layout and circulation 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.
The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning Code.
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 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 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 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 PUD development plan and preliminary subdivision plan staff reports.
Use:
The PUD proposes approval of 5 single-family homes. Staff supports the proposed use of the property. Staff suggests that the PUD allow the owners the option of a lock off apartment
for “locals housing” for each unit.
Yard, bulk and density:
The plan indicates 20-foot front setbacks and 10-foot side and rear yard setbacks. The standard setbacks for Wildridge are 25 feet front setbacks and 10-feet side and rear setbacks.
While, staff does not object to the proposed 20 feet setback, the PUD application will need to provide a justification for the reduced setback
The bulk of the buildings will be evaluated when the standards for height, building square footage, and building footprint are provided. Staff has discussed the building height with
the applicant’s consultant and understands they are considering a maximum two story building with heights under 35 feet. Staff supports the concept of two story buildings. We recommend
that a visual analysis be provided with the PUD submittal.
The density of the development appears appropriate.
Site grading, access, and maneuverability:
The driveway concept appears functional. The three units on the west side of the property have been designed to accommodate parking in front of each garage with sufficient room to back
out to the drive. The two end units do not have sufficient space for parking in front of the garages with room to back out.
The grading plan indicates areas that exceed the 2:1 maximum slopes.
General architectural design: the submitted concept design appears to meet the Design Guidelines.
Context: will be evaluated when more information is submitted. A map showing the location of surrounding lots and homes would be helpful in evaluating the context and compatibility
of the development with the surrounding neighborhood.
