BM @ BC - S.R.U. - Wol - Retail Sales - IC Zone District Wood explained that applicant had applied for a 5peciai Review use to aitow retail sporting Goods store, service center and archery court in the Wolff Warehouse, Lot 23, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, located in the IC Zone District. Allowed uses consist of warehouse, laboratories, electrical substation, light manufacturing plants, wholesale sales outlets, showrooms, industrial, construction and wholesale offices, accessory building. Special Review Uses consist of retail sales and personal service outlets, restaurants, public uses, outside storage areas, General commercial offices. Wood stated that the proposed use is somewhere in between a personal service outlet, with general repair and archery court, and retail sales with sporting goods store. One of the problems in relation to the Special Review Use Criteria reouirements is whether the site has adequate parkino for the pro- posed use. Minimum parking requirements for the Wolff Warehouse consist of 1/800 SF for Benchmark Cleaners or 3.15 spaces and 1/800 SF for the southerly building, which is vacant or 6.30 spaces. The proposed oun shote area is at 1/800 SF or 3.15 spaces. Wood explained that in 1980, there was a Special Review Use for office space which is above the proposed gun shop. It rates at 3/1000 SF or 3.90 spaces for a total parkino requirement of 16.50 spaces. There are 15 spaces on-site and a possibility that since the upstairs office space is not being used, that conditions could be placed on the Special Review Use to allow for additional parking. Parking would then be calculated at 3.15 spaces for Benchmark Cleaners and the proposed gun shop at 7.56 spaces, and the vacant building at 6.30 spaces, for a total of 17.01 spaces, which is close to minimum parking reouirements for that use. Wood stated that business at the gun shop would be heavier in the 4 F Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes May 30, 1985 Page 2 of 7 Lot 23, Block 1, BM @ BC - S.R.U. - Wolff Warehouse - Retail Sales - IC Zone District, Con't. late afternoon or weekends. Jerry Galle, president of Blue Steel Gun Shop and applicant felt that the majority of his business would be late in the afternoon after 4:30 when people would be getting out of work and during weekends. Davis opened the public hearing. There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed. Cuny asked if the owner of the building should be requesting the Special Review Use rather than the prospective tenant. Wood stated it did not matter when it regarded the use only. Galle stated that he did have verbal permission from the owner of the building, Henry Wolff. Cuny mentioned concerns of seeing 13 cars parked at the warehouse that afternoon. Landauer commented that Hess Electric has had 8 vehicles parked there for 2 years that were not in use. Wood felt that parking could be accommodated if parking were calculated at personal services rate of 3/1000, and applicant could qet agreement from Wolff that the office space would not be used or leased or additional parking would be provided, but it would still barely meet the minimum parking requirements. Davis then reviewed Granting of Special Review Use, Section 17.20.030, A -C. Discussion followed on Item B, number 1, "Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements imposed by the Zoning Code." Gdvis stated that since there is more visibility to the area, retail businesses might up -grade this warehouse district. Davis then reviewed Special Review Use Criteria, A -D. Wood compared the Wolff Warehouse to the Peregrine project in that Peregrine could meet parking requirements for a minimum level of use. In order to have any use requiring more than the minimum level of parking, Peregrine would be required to submit an agreement that a specific amount of space would have no use until parking requirements could be met. Wolff should be required to submit this same type of agreement if the Special Review Use is approved. For instance, Wolff could agree that the office space would remain vacant until such time as additional parking is provider. The agreement should be approved by the Town Attorney. Lengthy discussion followed. Donaldson motioned to approve the Special Review Use for retail space in the Wolff Warehouse, Lot 23, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. Conditions include that an agreement be reached in writing to restrict the use of currently vacant space so that the application falls within the parking requirements of the Town of Avon, and this agreement should be acceptable to the Town Attorney as well as the owner of the building. The Commission found that the application complies with Section 17.20.020, Granting of Special Review Use and Section 17.20.040 were found to comply except for item D, number 1, "Whether there will be provided sufficient off-street parking as determined by: 1. the intended use of the property," which would comply subject to satisfactory agreement restricting project uses which would exceed available parking requirements. x, Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes May 30, 1985 Page 3 of 7 Lot 23, Block 1, BM @ BC - S.R.U. - Wolff Warehouse - Retail Sales - IC Zone District, Con't.

Lodge at Avon Subdivision (Formerly Lots 57-60, Block 2, BM @ BC - S.R.U. - Time Share Wood stated that Lodge at Avon Associates were requesting aSpecial Review Use to allow time share for the Lodge at Avon. It is located in the TC Zone District which allows time share as a Special Review Use. The Lodge at Avon has previously received design review approval and preliminary plat approval which contains 89 fractionalized residential and accommodation units, and approximately 12,000 SF commercial space. Time sharing will require re -approval of the preliminary plat, and any associated exterior design changes made to accommodate the time share project will require design review approval. Wood suggested that the following conditions may be appropriate: 1) reapproval of project desion after review for compatibility as a time share project and incorporation of modifications to design as required by the Commission; and 2) approval of a revised preliminary plat and related documents as required for a time share project. Bill Pierce, representative of Lodge at Avon Associates stated that the site is zoned for 70 density units, and they plan to build 60 one bedroom and 1 bedroom loft units. The typical unit will be a one bedroom unit compatible with 1/3 density right allocation; the other in the 1/2 density allocation. The amenities package is much the same as it was before and we will be retaining the commercial space that was previously applied for. We will be making substantial changes to the floor plan, but retaining the same roof line and building footprint. The intended use is weekly sales of time share and we believe it is compatible with TC Zoning. Davis opened the public hearing. There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed. Pierce explained that the time share would be used for all phases of the Lodge at Avon. He stated that they hoped to sell some of the units as whole ownership units, but also have approval for selling time share. Davis felt that time share could be approved with the restriction that when they come in for design approval on the second phase, that the Commission have the right to review the time share aspect of the project. Landauer asked if all amenities would be in the first building and be used by succeeding phases. Pierce stated that amenities of first building would be supplemented by amenities in future buildings. The current first phase building will have.a swimming pool, men and women's locker rooms with showers, a jacuzzi and appropriate storage facilities. Davis then reviewed Section 17.20.020, Granting of Special Review Use, A -C. Commission found that Special Review Use complied with Section 17.20.020.

Lot 62, Block 1, W.R. - Single Family Residence - Conceptual Review Wood stated that this lot has an assigned density of 2 developme-;t rights which does allow the proposed development. The proposed building materials include a metal roof and gray stucco walls. There are some details that are lacking and Wood suggested that this be considered as a conceptual review. The design of the driveway grades are shown at 18`:, and in compensation for this, applicant has proposed to cover that portion of the driveway with a structure and landscaping. Applicant has submitted plans and a 3 dimensional model of the proposed project. Mike Hazard, applicant presented plans and model for Commission review. Hazard explained the covered driveway concept and stated that the existing cul-de- sac to the properties was cut high into the road. An alternative was to have an 8% driveway grade and the other was to cover the drive to have dry conditions, grading down from the top of the drive. He explained that he is proposing to go 51' from edge of pavement to 5 feet under cover and then a transition to 18" rising 5 feet in 27 feet, and then a transition down to 10,;, and then a transition to 37 down in the opposite direction to a low point and than back up to 57. The drive would be bermed and landscaped. View orientation is west and southwest and stair - steps down along with contour of the site. The curved window design uses a material called Cal Curve, and it is a translucent milk white with a hinh insulating value. Hazard explained and reviewed plans with Commission members. Hazard stated that he had proposed a metal roof on the north side of the building with a 12/12 pitch for practical considerations. The exterior of the house is proposed wood and stucco. Commission reviewed and discussed covered drive with anplicant. Hazard stated that the square footage of the house was 2,300 SF. Wood stated that Commission might wart to further consider the metal roof and covered drive. Hazard explained that only a small portion of the roof on the north side would be a metal standino seam roof and the rr-st a single -ply membrane.

Discussion followed on covered drive. Davis. reiterated some of the concerns of the Commission regarding covered drive, parking turnaround, grades, landscape plan and metal roof sample. Donaldson motioned to approve the conceptual design review of the Hazard residence. Applicant is to work with Staff on covered drive and grades, present color rendering, landscape plan and roof sample, and that the metal roof be approved by the Wildridoe Covenants Committee. Gersbach seconded. Passed unanimously Lot 4, Block 5, W.R. - La Porte Townhomes - Triplex - Design Review Wood stated that this was a review for 3 identical residential units. The lot has an assigned density for 3 development rights. The 3 units have a total floor area of 1,820 SF each, includina a 12' x 23' single garage. The proposed building materials include redwood siding, rough sawn cedar trim and metal roof. Roof color is to be liaht brown with redwood to be stained for color coordination. Specific color numbers have not been provided at this time. Trim color or treatment is not specified. Roof pitch is 6/12 and 8/12 rear. Roof overhang is not specified. Staff comments include roof overhangs, where they occur, shall be at least 12 feet. This is not specified in the submittal; and roof materials shall be wooden shingles or shakes of weather resistant qualities, built-up roofs with gravel or sod. Metal roofs or other roofing materials may be submitted for consideration and possible approval by the Commission. Specific colors for roof, siding and trim should be noted in any approval. Current parking requirements require 2 spaces per unit plus 2 guest spaces for townhome projects consisting of 3-5 units. The required guest parking spaces could easily be accommodated by widening an appropriate section of the driveway. Proposed landscaping is very limited. Additional landscaping on the street side of the driveway may be desireable. Mark Koch, applicant, presented drawings to Commission. He stated he had changed the color scheme since the last meeting with Staff. Koch reviewed and explained plans to Commission. He stated that each unit is stepped down 2 feet. Wood stated drainage plan was reviewed and it is acceptable. Davis then reviewed Design Review Guidelines. Cuny had concerns of metal roof on project. Koch presented roof sample. Donaldson felt that general site approach had been worked out well. He did have a problem with the building design in general, stating that all of the roofs dump onto the pedestrian areas and driveway, balconies and entry. The massing of the unit design does not lend itself to the land form and the end of each buildina is very abrupt, very sheer and has no transition massing. He felt that metal roof would be domineering material on the project. He felt there was a lack of mountain design in the structure. Koch felt that because of the location of the site, the front of the project would be most vi.;ible. Koch felt that the snow dumping would be minimal due to southern exposure and liked the metal roof and felt it was the most functional roof to put on any building, but stated he had no problem putting wood shake shingles on. &NO Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes May 30, 1985 Page 6 of 7 Lot 4.

Davis felt that color scheme was too gray without any kind of contrast with roof and siding. Donaldson felt that the forms and colors were too simple and pla'.n and suggested that stucco might break-up the color scheme. Commission members mentioned concerns of the roof line and discussion followed on general design and color of the project. Commission continued application of La Porte Townhomes and requested that applicant work on design considerations, color scheme and landscaping.
