The regular meeting of the Design Review Board for the Town of Avon was held on December 17, 1980 at 7:40 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 with the exception of Alice Alpi. The reading of the minutes was deferred until later in the meeting. Item #1, Avon Road Professional Building, Offices, Preliminary Review, Lot 56, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-12-2. E. James Judd and Buff Arnold represented Avon Road Professional Building. This building is adjacent to Avon Center at Beaver Creek on the public mall. It has 53,000 square feet of leaseable square feet; 6,500 square feet is commercial, the rest is office space. There is a tier of people space along the edge of the mall, acces- sible from the mall. Tonight's presentation is to get reactions to the building itself.._ There are two levels of underground parking with two entrances, some public parking behind the building also. Materials may include redwood, the upper areas will have a large mass of glass and fenestration, and stucco. The walks and ramps will be presented with the landscape plan, there will be some sort of masonry treatment along these - brick or a natural moss rock facing. The building will face Avon Road and the public mall. Lighting, landscaping and material samples will be presented later. Buff mentioned that there will be 80% lot coverage. There was some discussion concerning the landscaping of the highway right-of-way and the tie-in with the public mall and crossing of Avon Road. There was discussion regarding the asthetic tie-in with the Avon Center building. The Board asked for a drawing showing this build- ing in relation to the other building. Buff stated that the build- ing "steps up" to the Avon Center building. Mike mentioned that the irrigation ditch which runs into the town's water supply is on two sides of the property, site drainage has to be kept out of the ditch. They plan to start construction in the summer of 1981. Item #2, Venture 20 will be reviewed last tonight. Item #3, Warner Properties, 44 Units, Preliminary Review, Lot 34, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-12-3. John Rosolack represented Warner Properties. Bill asked whether they have development rights to 44 units. Dennis Gelbin 2-U) stated that no units have been traded off. Certification will be required before a building permit is issued. -1- It,is a 2-2 story wood framed building around the site, with park- ing in the middle. The roof pitch is 3/12. The elevation of the highway embankment in relation to the middle of the parking lot is unknown, maybe 20 feet. There are 88 parking spaces. Cheryl asked how close the building is from the highway. The closest part of the building is 12 feet from the easement for the highway, about 75-100 feet to the pavement. A rock and/or gravel roof is planned, gray -brown material. The footprint is 29%, 29.60 of lot coverage, coverage by impervious material is just under 550. Drainage into Buck Creek was mentioned. Warner Properties would like to reroute the stream and incorporate it into the landscaping scheme. The chimney will be primed and painted. They will need to submit an application for a variance for the roof pitch with their next presentation. ((The minutes will show)) that this is to be corrected. Diversion of Buck Creek - Dick stated that according to state health laws, filtration must be carefully watched and fertilizer, etc. be kept out of drinking water sources. Before diversion, they must adhere to the Colorado State health laws and be able to prove that nothing gets into the potable water system that is detrimen- tal to health ((let the record show)). Research is indicated. The creek is a flood path. The Board suggested that it be studied before the building is planned around the creek. Bill stated that they have received positive reaction, with areas that need some more information. Lighting - for parking, two 25 foot high poles in the center. The Board suggested higher and lower intensity spots. Item #4, Ski and Shore, Inc., Signs,Benchmark Shopping Center, Tract Q, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-12-5. Marlis Perry represented Ski and Shore. The hanging sign is the same as was there before, it has just been painted over. There being no objections, approval was granted for both signs. Item #2, Venture 20, Office Building, Preliminary Review, Lot 20, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 30-12-4. Mike stepped down to represent Venture 20. He stated that this is a preliminary review, any comments would be helpful. Lot 20 is a triangular lot, adjacent to Avon Road and Beaver Creek Blvd., across the street is the Christie Lodge. The irrigation ditch comes across the edge of the lot. The building is approximately 19,000 square feet, three stories high, 5,000 - 7,000 square feet per floor, underground parking area slightly larger than the building outline. The front of the building faces south, the ramp to the parking garage will go under the driveway to the building entry. The siding will be redwood or cedar vertical, with glass and metal frame glass paneling on the south elevation. It has a flat built-up roof. They intend to landscape a great deal of highway right-of- way along the property, it will be about 29 feet above the ground. The north side looks a little bland, landscaping may help. The Board asked if Christie Lodge has seen this plan, and it was stated that they had not. There is one off-street loading space, they may ask for more; but less than four. They may be back before the Board in January. -2- Other business: Ordinance No. 23, Series if 1980 - There was considerable discussion regarding the sign on Pacific Heritage's trailer which was changed from "Pacific Heritage" to "Pacific Heritage Construction Manage- ment". The 1-11� X 3 foot identification signs were replaced with a 3 X 10 foot sign. That company received a summons for an ad- vertisement sign when it was changed. It was the concensus of the Board that approval by the Board for construction trailer signs is not necessary; ((the record shows that)) these signs should be brought to the attention of Mayor Alpi, the Town Council and the Town Attorney; page 6, Section 6(c) was included in the discussion. Page 3, Section 3(b) - the last sentence in this section should probably be changed so that signs are brought before the Board. Page 4, Section 4(e) - these signs are for special events, not business identification, perhaps limited to temporary events, it was also suggested that they not be brought before the Board for approval. Page 4, Section 4(h)(4) - it was mentioned that telephone numbers are not allowed on signs, but are allowed on trailers. Page 4, Section 4(i) - Real Estate signs - the word "sales" or "advertising" should be included in the wording of this section. There was some discussion regarding whether this item should be included in the Ordinance, perhaps rewording would be better, so individual owners can indicate that a unit is for sale. Lighting was not addressed in the Ordinance and the Board feels it should be. The minutes were read. The trailer inspections were discussed again (page 4, Other Business). ((The record shows that)) the Board suggested that the Town Attorney be consulted about writing an ordinance covering mobile homes. It was mentioned that all references to "T-11" siding should be corrected to read "T 1-11" siding. The motion was made by Tom to approve the minutes with the above correction, Mike seconded it and it was passed unani- mously. Larry made the motion that the meeting be adjourned, Ken seconded it, it was passed unanimously and the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 P.M.
