Project type
Residential Duplex
Legal description
Lot 6, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 2 units
Address
5031 Wildridge Road East
Introduction
The applicant describes the project as a mountain style duplex that utilizes natural colors and finishes to complement its surroundings. The structure steps down the hill. Each unit
measures approximately 3000 square feet.
The site is extremely steep, sloping down from the roadway at over 40%. One consequence is the need to cut through an existing guardrail for driveway access.
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: Duplex use complies with this lot’s two dwelling unit designation.
Lot Coverage: The proposed 10.5% 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 30' on the west elevation complies with the 35' maximum limit.
Grading: All other proposed grades conform with the maximum of 2:1 slope guideline and the proposed driveway grades comply with Town standards.
Parking: The four garage and the two surface parking spaces meet the required six 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.
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.
To provide a more unified appearance, staff suggests that the west unit’s rear gable provide similar log elements to those present on the east unit’s rear gable.
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.
