The regular meeting of the Design Review Board for the Town of
Avon was held on July 2, 1980 at 7:45 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 Vice -Chairman
Mike Blair.
All Board Members were present with the exception of Bill Pierce.
The Vice -Chairman, Mike Blair, deferred the reading of the minutes
until later in the meeting.
Mike declared that all unfinished business would be heard after
the regularly scheduled meeting.
Item #1, Wolff Warehouses, Eddie Daniel, Lot 23, Block 1, Benchmark
Subdivision, Modification, File No. 80-2-2.
Eddie Daniel represented Wolff Warehouses. Eddie would like to put
in seven windows - three 4 X 5 foot windows in the south side and
four on the north side. Bronze, double glazed, with an arch if the
Board prefers, contrasting brick on the arch and the sill. There
is no problem with the Code. The Board would like the arches added
over the windows.
Mike asked for comments from the audience and there were none.
There being no objections, approval was granted for the windows
proposed tonight, with arches and contrasting color.
Item #2, Kruse Duplex, Go -Native, Modification, Lot 39, Block 2,
Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 79-7-2.
Doug Weinheimer represented Kruse Duplex. Half of the trees have
been eliminated and 16 shrubs have been added. In the area between
this building and the neighboring project trees were originally
approved. Dick Evans maintains that trees will not do well in that
area but shrubs would. The Board generally agrees with the plan
presented tonight with the addition of three five foot spruce trees
to be planted along the frontage of West Beaver Creek Blvd. and to
add more interest and balance, a pair of aspen on the northwest
corner with one spruce and two spruce on the other side. This
revised plan, sodding and sprinkling system are to be submitted
to the Building Department. There being no objections, the revised
plan with additions was granted approval.
Item #3, Avon Municipal Building, Brian Byrne and Mark Donaldson,
Tract G, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-6-4.
Mark Donaldson and Brian Byrne represented Avon Municipal Building.
This project was approved by the Town Council. The Board would
like an idea of what it looks like and the materials to be used.
The building will be located between the fire station and Nottingham
Lake on the south side of the park. Materials - two different kinds
of redwood siding. On the horizontal 1 X 6 bevel tongue and groove,
clear sealer stain; 1 X 6 tongue and groove for vertical; and
synthetic stucco, a light warm gray. Cedar shingles, natural color;
spanderal panel and window wall system, the slope glazing system
-1-
will be a matching dark bronze; sandstone (fieldstone) type ex-
terior retaining walls and planter areas. Pella or equivalent type
windows, metal clad, all ferous and non-ferous material will be
painted to match the exterior. Synthetic stucco trade name is STO,
hand troweled. All the ground which is disturbed during construc-
tion will be resodded and replanted, patchwork the sprinkler
system with the Town, reinstall the portions removed during construc-
tion. There are three levels, the top level unfinished; an atrium
in the reception area. A total of 13,000 square feet - the lower
level is 4,400, middle level about 5,900 and top level about 2,900
square feet. The underground garage will be two single garages -
one for park storage and the other for the police. The initial
phase will have 32 parking spaces, adjacent to that will be recrea-
tion area parking. Lighting - there will be minimal exterior light-
ing to comply with the Colorado Energy Code, the planters will not
have lights. The parking area will have three lighting fixtures,
mercury, around the steps and entrance will be step, walk lighting
below. No lighting for the tower. The railroad track noise will be
screened by not having a great expanse of glass on that side, land-
scaping and a six foot high stockade fence. The clock tower will
be three sided, L-shaped. The flag pole will be 40 feet high.
Trash removal and storage area are on the southwest corner. The
estimated cost of the building is about $730,000, construction will
start around August 1, 1930 and be completed eight months later.
There being no objections, the Board granted approval to the Muni-
cipal Building.
Unfinished business:
Troxel Warehouses - Dick Evans stated that Troxel Warehouses'
owner was instructed by certified letter to present plans for their
wood facia by June 30, 1980 and that has not been done. The Board
instructed the Building Administrator to refer this matter to the
Town Attorney and the Mayor.
Pacific Heritage Corporation - response to letter. Larry Kumpost
stepped down from the Board to discuss this matter. The soils
report just received by Pacific Heritage from an engineer states
that the ground is stable. Brown/Kelly-Brown were sent a copy of
the letter to Pacific Heritage, they were not present during to-
night's meeting. The Board decided that Pacific Heritage should
be requested to submit a plan rectifying the problem and the plan
should be considered at the meeting on July 16, 1980. Pacific
Heritage and Brown/Kelly-Brown will be sent notice of the July 16,
1980 meeting.
Krabacher letter - in reference to the change from diagonal to hori-
zontal siding on the Alpenflora project. The change of siding does
not violate the Building Code. The Board declared this issue should
properly be between the owners and the architect. The secretary will
respond to Mr. Krabacher's letter and will correspond with Mr. Allen
suggesting that the change of siding be reviewed by a structural
engineer to determine the stability of the project.
Holy Cross - special use permit for materials yard. Mayor Alpi
questioned whether this project is to be presented. This project
is on the July 16, 1980 agenda.
Minutes - Larry Kumpost requested the change in the June 4, 1980
minutes from "Phase I and Phase II were submitted to the Board with
the use of seed..." to "Phase II was submitted to the Board with the
use of seed..." The Board agreed to the change. Mike Blair suggested
that the Board be more orderly in conducting the meetings. The
suggestions were made to conduct the discussion of each project
by the checklist, and points made and summarized as they are brought
up.

Sign Code -
everyone with the exception of Breckenridge responded.
Mike would
like to reply to
Breckenridge with
a letter remarking on
their poor
attitude, lack of
consideration and
cooperation in charg-
ing another
municipality for
their ordinances.
The committee will
meet on July
9, 1980 at 6:00
P.M. in the Hole
in the Wall to discuss
the various
sign codes.
The minutes were discussed. The date "June 4, 1980" in the title
should correctly read "June 18, 1980". "Rosentahl" should correctly
read "Rosenthal". Tom Landauer made the motion to approve the min-
utes as corrected, seconded by Larry Kumpost and approved unanimously.
Dick Evans reported that Claycomb Engineering as Town Engineers,
review each project working plan for drainage, egress, ingress,
grades. The Town Engineer is in the Town Offices one morning each
week. They are also doing a complete drainage study for the entire
Town.
