RE: Maverik Service Station Plans
Avon Planning and Zoning Commission Referral
This purpose of this letter is to document a summary of the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission’s comments on
the above-mentioned development proposal. Pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Second Amended and Restated
Village (at Avon) PUD Guide, the Village (at Avon) Design Review Board shall refer to the Planning and Zoning
Commission “for comment only and not for approval, ratification or disapproval, all development proposals submitted
to the Design Review Board for portions of the Property located south of Interstate 70 and all portions of the Property
located north of Interstate 70 other than Planning Areas K and RMF-1.” On December 15, 2020, the Avon Planning
and Zoning Commission reviewed the Maverik Service Station development proposal with the design team. The
following is an overview of suggest discussion points for the Design Review Board to consider.
Site Planning
• Request a lighting cut sheet and confirm there are full cutoff lights throughout the project, with no glare or
light trespass
• Light fixture temperature should be lower K rating, with lighting intensity only high enough to safely and
adequately light the site
• Request a sidewalk on Swift Gulch Road
• Request a striped pedestrian crossing area, or material treatment, between the pedestrian path, store front,
and far southeast side of the site
• Request fewer parking spaces to diminish the “sea of asphalt” effect
• Per AMC Sec. 15.28, 6 electric vehicle capable, 4 electric vehicle ready, and 2 electric vehicle installed
spaces must be present on this site as proposed
• Request a dumpster and recycling cut sheet and ensure it is complaint with the PUD and bear proof
• Request additional bicycle parking near the primary pedestrian entrance
Landscaping
• Request an irrigation plan
• Request that the landscape plans ensure compliance with landscape coverage, impermeable area, slope,
and a minimum planting hole diameter of two (2) times as large as the root ball diameter for trees, with at
least 5% organic matter
Building Design
1. Request the design achieves more natural muted tones, building articulation, interactive windows, passive
solar design, enhanced treatment of the entrance, and innovative design to achieve the Design Philosophy
2. Request that the canopy design ties into the building design
The above comments are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the discussion points on the development proposal.
An audio recording of the meeting can be made available at request if so desired. Thank you for the opportunity to
review this proposal.
Respectfully,
Chair
Avon Planning and Zoning Commission
