Lot 5, Nottingham Station
Current zoning

Address
1990 Hurd Lane
Introduction
Maurice and Nancy Nottingham have applied for PUD zoning for Lot 5, Nottingham Station Subdivision. This property was annexed and platted as part of the Nottingham Station Subdivision.
However, no zoning was designated for the property. The Nottingham residence is located on the property along with several sheds.
The PUD proposes two single-family residences on 1.5 acres. The development standards are comparable to those of the RSF (Residential Single Family Zone).
Mr. Nottingham has also submitted a subdivision application to establish two lots. Access will be provided from the existing driveway and a shared access easement will be dedicated.
PUD Design Criteria
According to the Town of Avon Zoning Code, Section 17.20.110, the following shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating a PUD.
Conformance with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan’s Goals and Objectives.
The single-family use of the property complies with the Comprehensive Plan. The property has been used for this purpose for many years.
Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood, and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, character, and
orientation.
The PUD single family residential development standards will be compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhood. A final design review plan will be required when the second single
family home is proposed.
One of the existing sheds encroaches partially into the proposed 25-foot front setback. Staff believes the structure is not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and recommends
that the shed be removed. There are at least two inoperable vehicles and other equipment and materials that are stored outside. Town of Avon Code requires that these be stored inside
or removed from the property.
Uses, activity, and density provide a compatible, efficient, and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The existing single-family home was moved to the site prior to the development of the surrounding multi-family residential. The two single-family homes will be compatible with adjacent
residential properties.
Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed.
No significant hazards have been identified at this time. The 35-foot stream setback from the Eagle River has been identified on the PUD plan.
Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic
quality of the community.
The second home site is located such that most of the existing landscaping on the property can be preserved.
A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation that is compatible with the town transportation plan.
The access uses the existing driveway for on- and off-site circulation, minimizing impacts to Hurd Lane.
Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
The existing landscaping will be retained. It also screens the sheds and material that is presently stored outside.
Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems, roads, parks, and police and fire protection.
Adequate public services and facilities exist to accommodate the project.
That the existing streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD.
The Town’s road network can accommodate the traffic from the additional lot.
Development Standards
Development Standards including lot area, site dimensions, setbacks, height, density control, site coverage, landscaping and parking shall be determined by the Town Council as part of
the approved development plan with consideration of the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The PUD proposed development standards that are comparable to the Town’s RSF, Residential Single Family Zone district. These standards are appropriate for the single-family homes and
will result in development compatible with the surrounding residential area.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the PUD with two conditions.
Recommended Motion
“I move to adopt Resolution 99-14 recommending that Town Council approve the Lot 5 Nottingham Station PUD. The resolution recommends the following conditions:
The existing shed that encroaches into the 25 foot front yard setback shall be removed from the property and all inoperable vehicles and materials stored outside, with the exception
of firewood, shall be removed or stored inside within 60 days of approval of the PUD ordinance by Town Council”.
That the project title be changed to Lot 5, Nottingham Station PUD.
