Report date
December 20, 2019
Project type
Residential Duplex
Legal description
Lot 103, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 2 units
Address
3023 Wildridge Road
Introduction
This design for a residential duplex presents a typical alpine architecture. Its exterior materials consist of a combination of stucco, stone, wood siding, and dark asphalt shingles.
The site slopes down from Wildridge Road at approximately 19%.
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: Two dwelling units comply with this lot’s allowable density.
Lot Coverage: The proposed 22% of building coverage complies with the 50% maximum.
Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
Easements: The driveway’s retaining wall encroaches into the Town’s 10 foot Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement and the western 7.5 foot drainage easement.
Building Height: The largest determined height of 34' of the structure’s main ridgeline complies with the 35' maximum limit.
Grading: All proposed slope 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 six surface parking spaces exceed 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. See consideration #5.
The conformance with other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon.
See considerations #4 and #5.
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 surface parking area at the end of the drive creates the following issues:
Grading onto the neighboring property.
A retaining wall over four feet in height within side and front yard setbacks.
The placement of snow storage on the neighboring property.
Directing drainage onto the neighboring property.
Staff recommends that the driveway and retaining wall extend no farther than the 7.5 drainage easement to alleviate these impacts.
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 driveway’s retaining wall should be moved entirely out of the Town’s 10 foot Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement. It should noted that the Town is not responsible
for damage to plant materials located within the Town’s 10 foot Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement resulting from municipal snow removal operations.
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 Recommendation
Based upon the project’s general conformance with the above design review considerations, staff recommends final design approval with conditions.
Recommended Motion
“I move to approve the final design of a residential duplex for Lot 103, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated May 11, 1999 with the following
