PZC Minutes 060480RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS MINUTES OF DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING JUNE 4, 1980 7:30 P.M. The regular meeting of the Design Review Board for the Town of Avon was held on June 18, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. in the Town Council Chambers of the Town of Avon in the Benchmark Shopping Center, Avon, Colorado. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Bill Pierce. All Board members were present. The Chairman deferred the reading of the minutes until later in the meeting. There being no business to be brought to the attention of the Board before the regularly scheduled meeting, Item #1 was presented. Item #1, Avon Town Ordinance Number 14, Series of 1980, Amending Zoning Ordinance No. 79-12. John Dunn, Town Attorney, was present to explain Ordinance No. 80-14. The Town Council requested that John draft an ordinance to restrict time sharing use to particular parts of the Town, particularly those areas zoned Residential High Density and Commercial (RHDC). Ordi- nance No. 80-14 amends the definition of multiple family dwelling, hotel, motel and lodge units to exclude time sharing. Time sharing is defined to read the same as the amendments to the Subdivision Regulations and time sharing is established as a special review use requiring appearance before the Design Review Board of approval of any subdivision which includes time sharing. The Ordinance also includes a definition of building height. Building height occurs in two places in the Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance No. 79-12. John added an area of qualification to read that the definition applies only where the building grade is uneven. Ordinance No. 79-12 states that any amendment to that Ordinance must first be considered by the Design Review Board. A resolution, Design Review Board Resolution Number 11, Series of 1980, was presented adopting Ordinance No. 80-14, and making it effective immediately. The Resolution is an interim enforcement of Ordinance No. 80-14. The Board discussed the height, % of grade may be considered as part of the definition. John recommended that the Board adopt Resolution No. 80-11. There was an addition to the fourth paragraph "except Paragraphs 5 and 6 thereof". The motion was made by Ken Hardwick to recommend to the Town Council the adoption of Resolution Number 11, Series of 1980 as amended. Larry Kumpost seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. (See attached) Item #2, Avon Lake Villas, Office, Lot 41, Block 2, Benchmark Sub- division, File No. 80-3-1. Todd Rosentahl represented Avon Lake Villas. Todd asked permission to use an already existing unit as a project identification office. In the office Todd would set up models and maps of the Avon Lake Villas project. Comments from the audience: Hugh Price recommended that the Zoning Ordinance, No. 79-12, be checked before a decision is made. Dick Evans stated that the building in which the office would be located is in an area zoned only residential. The Board decided that because it is so stated in Ordinance No. 79-12, this item needs a special use permit; Todd should make proper application to the Town Administration for it. -1- Item #3, Sun Eagle, Inc., Revised Landscaping Plans, Lot 111, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, File No. 80-5-2. Larry Goad represented Sun Eagle, Inc. Larry presented his revised landscaping plans. The Mountain Juniper will be replaced with spruce.

There being no objec- tion, final approval was granted. Item #4, U.S. Homes, Lots 25-28, 35, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-4-1. Irving Phillips, Architect, represented U.S. Homes.

It was stated by the Board that all grass areas will be sod. Bill Pierce asked for comments from the audience and there were none. The Board requested a less glossly finish of roofing material. Units on the northeast corner will not have a mall effect. The mall roof may be plastic or glass. The mall will be ventilated with circulation of air. The dome will be a tinted bronze glass. U.S. Homes would like to start this project in September, 1980. The project will not be phased. The units will be owned by indivi- duals but run like a hotel. There are no kitchens in the units. The Board would like the landscaping centered around a different tree than aspen. Cottonwood was suggested, and all reference to aspen will be amended to cottonless cottonwood. The cost of the project is estimated at $20,000,000. The concrete exposed on the parking garage will be architectural finished concrete. The height of the building will be 40 feet at the top of the dome. The maxi- mum height zoned for that area is 80 feet. The Board stated that the snow storage area probably was not adequate.

Larry requested that this item also include continued discussion of Phase I. The south side of Building "C" will be used as a test area for seeding. This area was not planned to be formal lawn. The width of the test area is to be decided upon. Bill Pierce asked for comments from the audience. Mayor: sod was designated for the Town by Ordinance and should be adhered to. Wells: wants sod but is favorable for testing, water is of great concern. Goad: what specifications for seeding would be used if the test is favorable. Price: is favorable toward testing, if testing is done in an area not specified for sodding by Town Ordi- nance. Fritz Schmidt: seeding is for areas too steep for sodding, Since maintenance is difficult. Bill asked for comments from the Board. Blair: seeding is for open space, to be blended. Dingwell: test if area was not previously -3- approved for sod. Landauer: sod. Hardwick: test, but with a time limit, then put in sod. Alpi: sod only. Pierce: would like a test of seeding. The concensus of the Board is to approve sod only, a test can be done if it is not on the property approved for sod and has adequate irrigation. Larry will check on an area in the project that may be used, just outside their immediate property line for a test area for seeding. Phase II: Siding with stain sample requested at the meeting on June 4, 1980. The siding is part spruce and part lodgepole pine, a mixed species.
