Introduction
As you may recall, at the April 20th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed a concept plan for a southwest style home proposed at 2165 Saddleridge Loop. In
response to Commission direction, the applicants have prepared a model.
The proposed duplex is a contemporary southwest style featuring stucco siding and a flat gravel roof and tile roofs. The proposed colors are earth tone with “Casa” as the field color,
“Dry River” as the trim color and a "Slate Green" tile roof.
The site has moderate slopes of 14 percent and faces east.
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 complete its
review and provide a full analysis with the Final Design staff report.
Use: complies with zoning.
Yard, bulk and density: The building is very large and will result in disturbance of almost the entire site.
Site grading, access, and maneuverability the grading plan is still not technically correct. Staff is requiring that a professional engineer or other qualified professional prepare
the final grading plan. The drainage swales may not be sufficient to direct water away from the structure.
The applicants have increased the back up area in front of the north unit. In staff’s opinion the back up area is sufficient.
General architectural design: the Planning and Zoning Commission should evaluate whether this contemporary southwest style design is compatible with the neighborhood. No other southwest
style homes are found in the immediate neighborhood.
Context: the size of the home appears to be large in the context of the neighborhood; the architectural style is different; and most of the surrounding homes have wood siding, whereas
the proposed building will be stucco.
