Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 2 units

Introduction
The project is a large single family residence (3774 square feet). Exterior materials consist primarily of beige stucco, stone base, dark green wood trim, and antique slate asphalt shingles.
The site is extremely steep. Over half the site has slopes greater than 40% and the building envelope has slopes near 60%.
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 complies with this lot’s one dwelling unit designation.
Lot Coverage: The proposed 5.4% of building coverage complies with the 50% maximum.
Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
Easements: No proposed encroachments and proposed grading in the 10' Slope Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement is acceptable.
Building Height: The largest determined height of 33' on the west elevation complies with the 35' maximum limit.
Grading: All proposed grades conform with the maximum of 2:1 slope guideline and the proposed driveway grades comply with Town standards.
Parking: The two (2) garage and the two (2) surface parking spaces conform with 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.
A 12-foot high retaining wall is proposed immediately above the garage. Though this height exceeds the recommended maximum height, staff believes given the site’s steepness and the wall’s
limited visibility from the surrounding neighborhood and public roadway, the wall will not significantly impactsignificantly impact the project’s overall appearance or massing.
The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed.
The plans lack specific material and color information for the following items:
Retaining wall above the garage.
Apparent wood siding within various gabled dormers on the south elevation.
Trim elements above windows.
Decks and associated posts.
Window cladding.
Garage and entry doors.
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.
Staff recommends that a chimney cap or other means of screening the flue be provided.
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 criteria, staff recommends approval with conditions.
Recommended Motion
“I move to approve the final design for a single family residence for Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated March 17, 1999 with the
following conditions:
That a chimney cap or other means of screening the flue be provided with the building permit submittal.
That the missing materials and color information be provided with the building permit submittal.
And furthermore, that the 12-foot retaining wall immediately above the garage is approved based upon the findings that the wall is necessary due to the grading difficulties caused by
the site’s extreme steepness and the wall’s limited visibility from adjacent properties and the public roadway.”
