Introduction
Skip Organ has applied for a modification to allow a freestanding electric meter. The meter is located in front of a large transformer in a landscaped area adjacent to Wildridge Road.
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.
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
Section 4.25 Building Design, C 5. states that “Electric and other utility meters shall be attached to the main structure and screened to minimize contrast with adjacent utility materials”.
The request for a freestanding meter does not conform to this requirement. The meter is located in a highly visible location adjacent to Wildridge Road
Recommended Motion
“I move to deny the modification for a freestanding electrical meter on Lot 1, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated June 9, 1999 based on
the finding that it does not conform with Design Standards, Section 4.25 C 5”.
