Final Design Staff Report
June 1, 1999 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date
December 20, 2019
Project type
Multi-family Residential – Two Triplexes
Legal description
Lot 8, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – six units
Address
1031 West Wildwood Road
Introduction
The two tri-plex buildings are situated on the site to take advantage of southern views and place the structures compatible with the site’s topography. The units measure from approximately
2,400 to 2,600 square feet. Materials are stone and stucco on the lower levels, board and batten on the top levels. Heavy timber truss accents on the gable ends and entrance areas are
meant to strengthen the project’s western mountain architectural appeal. All materials are colored in earth tones.
The site is a uniquely shaped “thumb” lot, wrapped almost entirely by West Wildwood Road. The site’s topography, approximately 13% and 26% across the two building envelopes, runs parallel
to the length of the lot.
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: Six units comply with the lot’s six dwelling unit designation.
Lot Coverage: The proposed 18% 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 35' on unit #4’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 twelve garage and the four guest surface parking spaces exceed the required fifteen 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.
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 compliance with the above design review considerations, staff recommends approval with conditions.
Recommended Motion
“I move to approve the final design of the two tri-plexes for Lot 8, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated May 12, 1999 with the following
conditions:
That an additional Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) will be required prior to any framing inspections to confirm all ridge heights comply with the maximum allowable height.
That the berm above the entrance be reduced to no more that two feet above the driveway elevation to provide better sight distance.
That the proposed post mounted exterior light fixtures are not approved due to the concern that they will produce unnecessary glare.
That the two aspens near the first structure’s guest parking be moved south to provide better sight distance.
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please call me at
