Lot 4, is a .70 acre Neighborhood Commercial zoned lot located on Nottingham Road. There are five lots along Nottingham Road that are currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial. the Pizza Hut and the Coastal Mart Gasoline Station occupy two of those lots and the other three, extending from the Coastal Mart west to Buck Creek, on the south side of Nottingham Road, are vacant. Lot 4 is the westernmost lot, adjacent to Buck Creek. The property to the west of Buck Creek is zoned Residential on both sides of Nottingham Road and contains multi -family development. These five lots were originally zoned Residential High Dens-.ty Commercial, but were amended to Neighborhood Commercial during the comprehensive rezoning that was approved in the spring of 1991. Automobile service stations were allowed as a use by right in the RHDC Zone District. The Neighborhood Commercial Zone District intention reads as follows: "The Neighborhood Commercial Zone District is intended to provide sites for the principal benefit of residents of the community and also to highway oriented convenience commercial needs." Uses by right in this zone district are: Retail Stores Professional Offices Car Wash Restaurants Accessory Apartments, Exclusive Of Ground Level Church Special Review Uses are: Automobile Service Station and Repair Above Ground Public Utility Installations The Staff has classified a lube shop as automoile repair. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Page 2 of 5 Lot 4, Block 1 Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Lube and Car Yash Special Review Use Public Hearing STAFF COMMENTS The following criteria as listed in Section 17.48.040 of the Avon Zoning Code, should be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission when reviewing a Special Review Use application. A. Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements imposed by the Zoning Code; COMMENT: The proposed use appears to be in compliance with all requirements imposed by the Avon Zoning Code. B. Whether the proposed use is in conformance with the Town Comprehensive Plan; COMMENT: The proposed use appears to be in general conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and also with the sub -area design recommendations. C. Whether the proposed use is compatible with adja::ent uses. Such compatibility may be expressed in appearance, architectural scale and features, site design, and the control of any adverse impacts including noise, dust, odor, lighting, traffic, safety, etc. COMMENT: Compliance with this criteria is certainly the most difficult aspect of this application. "through this type of request we are reviewing the use itself and it's associated impacts, not the specific design of this building. The actual design considerations must be addressed in a design review procedure. The car wash portion of the proposal is allowed as a use by right in this zone district, only the lube shop requires a Special Review Use. A lube shop is an automobile intensive use with all repair activity traditionally occuring within the confines of a garage bay. The general location of the lot lends itself very well to this type of use. The land is very easily accessible by adequate roads, it is convenient to most citizens as well as to highway users. The general tone of the Neighborhood Commercial Zone District has been set by the exiting Coastal Mart Gasoline Station, so the use seems appropriate to its neighbors to the east. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Page 3 of 5 Lot 4, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Lube and Car Wash Special Review Use Public Hearing The existence of Buck Creek along the west property line raises site specific environmental concerns and the residential development to the west also raises specific development and appearance concerns. The Staff does believe that certain design and site considerations can be addressed as Special Review Use impacts and can be included as conditions to Special Review Use approvals. A site plan and architectural drawings have been submitted and are addressed in a concurrent conceptual design review memorandum. We believe that this use is appropriate for this lot and can meet this criteria given certain conditions. Great care must be taken during the final design review process to mitigate potential impacts to the residential property. Factors to be reviewed should include lighting, architecture, landscaping and site planning. Parking areas should be located on the east property line and a strong landscape buffer should be designed along the west property line. The trash storage area should be located to the east. The Staff also raised environmental concerns associated with the proximity of Buck Creek. A drainage plan indicates all surface drainage is directed into a catch basin. The specific design of this catch basin must be adequate to remove all oil sediment prior to release of drainage water. It is our understanding that bulk oil transfer is accomplished by positive coupling from the tank storage to the delivery truck. This system should eliminate any buik oil spills. The applicant also indicates that all bulk oil storage, clean and used, will be in fiberglass tanks in the building basement. This would allow ease in inspection and monitoring for leak detection of stored oil and appears to be a better solution than underground tanks.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation for the request to locate an automobile lubrication shop on Lot 4, Block 1, Benchmark At Beavur Creek Subdivision is for approval with the following conditions: 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission should ensure that potential negative impacts to the residential property to the west are addressed during the design review process. Factors critical to review include the specific lighting plan, building architecture, landscape buffers and site planning. 2. The catch basin design must ensure that any site runoff is filtered and all oil and gasoline are removed prior to discharge. 3. Bulk oil storage will be limited to exposed tanks in the building basement. No underground tanks will be allowed. 4. The lubrication facility will utilize no more than two bays within the proposes building. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Introduce Application Applicant Presentation 3. Open Public Hearing 4.

The negative impacts to the residential property need to be mitigated and to do that there needs to be a very specific design review hearing Lighting, building architecture, parking areas, the trash enclosure and landscape buffer along the west property line are all concerns that need to be addressed in design review; 2. The catch basin design must ensure that all oil and hydrocarbon sediments are filtered out of the water before it is released. More detailed design will have to be provided. 3.

The applicants are requesting a four bay car wash, two bay automobile lubrication shop and associated office space. The lubrication shop is subject to a Special Review Use Permit. Lot 4 borders Buck Creek and has residential properties to the west, InLcrstate 70 to the south, two vacant commercial lots and the Coastal Mart Station to the east and Nottingham Road to the north. The Site plan indicates a great expanse of asphalt on the site with parking spaces and the trash enclosure along the west side. Landscape materials are not specified. The predominant building material is concrete block wich a metal roof system. STAFF RECOMMENDATION As a conceptual review, Staff has no formal comments or recommendation and no formal action will be taken at this time. We would, however, reinforce the comments and conditions stated in the accompanying Special Review Use memorandum. The Planning and Zoning Commission should review this proposal with great regard to impacts on the adjacent residential properties. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Introduce Application 2. Applicant Presentation 3. Commission Review/Discussion Respectfully submitted, KC ?Yl \ Rick Pylman Director of Community Development .-1 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Mountain Star PUD Amendment/Preliminary Plan Wildwood Investment Co./Mountain Star Limited Liability Co. Public Hearing INTRODUCTION The proposed Mountain Star Development consists of a 683 acme parcel of land north of Interstate 70 and east of the Wildridge Subdivision. The land was originally planned and platted as the Wildwood Subdivision, with a development concept similar to Wildridge. The approved plan calls for 936 dwelling units on 270 lots. The Mountain Star proposal represents a significant departure from the approved development plan. The amended PUD proposal calls for a total of 88 lots, each allowed one single family residence and one caretaker/guest unit, plus one property manager's unit for a total potential density of 177 dwelling units. The property will be accessed through an extension of Wildwood Road and also by a new road to be constructed through the Buck Creek valley. Buck Creek Road was the subject of a U. S. Forest Service Special Use Permit that was issued in 1981 and the road will be constructed to nermit specifications. The interior roads to the project will be private and will be maintained by the property owners. A complete set of dosign review guidelines have been included with the PUD documents and these design criteria will take precedent over the existing Town of Avon Design Guidelines. The Mountain Star homeowners will form their own review board and will be responsible for application and enforcement of the adopted design guidelines. Lot sizes witnin the proposed subdivision range from 1.24 acres to 11.09 aGies; the land use breakdown is as follows: Lots 1-8L 294.73 acres Single Family With Caretaker/Guest Unit Allowed Tracts A,B,C, E,F,G,I,J,K, L,M,N,P,R,S,T 350.29 acres Open Space Tracts D,Q,O 1.47 acres Access Road Right-of-ways 31.45 acres Roads, Utilities Drainage 1 A. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Page 2 of 8 Mountain Star PUD Amendment/Preliminary Plan Wildwood Investment Co./Mountain Star Limited Liability Co. Public Hearing The surrounding land use and ownership consists of U.S. Forest Service on the north, east and south of the property and Towr, of Avon owned open space tracts to the west. The PUD Guide for Mountain Star is listed in Section 8 of the submittal documents. These guidelines will legislate the development that occurs on each lot or parcel within the PUD. STAFF CO14MENTS Section 17.20.110 (14) of the Avon Municipal Code lists eleven criteria that a PUD development plan must meet. The following paragraphs compare this pioposal to the PUD development plan criteria. 1. Conformity with the Avon Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives. STAFF COMMENT: The Mountain Star plan is in conformance with the land use objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. There are many specific goals which could be cited as support for this development, however, we believe it is sufficient to state that this proposal is in conformance with the goals and objectives of the Avon Comprehensive Plan. The reduction in density, the sensitiv;ty to the natural environment and the housing diversity this proposal brings to Avon are all extremely positive factors. 2. Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the Town of Avon, the Sub -area design recommendations and design guidelines adopted by the Town of Avon. STAFF COMMENTS: The Sub -area design recommendations and design guidelines of the Town are all greatly exceeded by the Mountain Star proposal. The development will utilize it's own set of design guidelines for architectural and site improvements. The Town of Avon will issue building permits only upon receipt of Mountain Star design review certification. Should Mountain Star design review committee ever cease to function, the Town of Avon would require the Homeowners to amend the PUD to require review of improvements in accordance with Town of Avon design guidelines. STAFF REPORT TU THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Page 3 of 8 Mountain Star PUD Amendment/Preliminary Plan Wildwood Investment Co./Mountain Star Limited Liability Co. Public Hearing 3. Design compatibility with the immediate environ:-snt, neighborhood, and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, character and orientation. STAFF COMMENTS: The road design and layout as well as the lot configurations and layout have been very carefully planned for compatibility with the natural and the future built environment. Development stcuidards and design guidelines that are incorporated into the PUD will ensure ongoing compliance with this criteria. 4. Uses, activity, and density which provide a compatible, efficient, and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. STAFF COMMENTS: The uses and activity associated with the Mountain Star proposal are certainly compatible with surrounding uses and activity. The proposed density reduction from 963 dwelling units to 177 dwelling units is extremely positive, given that the associated cost of services, snow removal in particular, has also been reduced through the introduction of private roads. The reduced density provides for mo,e open space and less traffic congestion while providing a housin•,i product not currently available in Avon. 5. Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed. STAFF COMMENTS: A geologic investigation disclosed no potential hazards whit would require mitigation or avoidance. A complete drainage report has been submitted and reviewed by the Town and no specific issues or problems have been identified. 6. Site plan, building design and location, and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. STAFF COMMENTS: The road design and lot layout has been done in a manner that is very sensitive to the existing natural environment, vegetation and overall aesthetic qualities. Large areas of the site have been left in open --, STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Page 4 of 8 Mount?in Star PUD Amendment/Preliminary Plan Wildwood Investment Co./Mountain Star Limited Liability Co. Public Hearing space and strict architectural and sitework gidelines will ensure that each individual building project is also sensitive to these concerns. 7. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation that is compatible with the Town of Avon Transportation Plan. STAFF COMMENTS: The roadways within Mountain Star have been designed to minimize the disturbance to the natural environment, while still providing the function necessary for their level of traffic. The circulation system design allows access to each individual parcel, while minimizing the overall length of roadway within the subdivision. The resultamt road designs do not meet the existing road standard minimum design criteria as specified in the Avon Subdivision Regulations. The Staff and the applicant have spent a great deal of time discussing and analyzing this issue. The Staff does support the road designs proposed for Mountain Star with some conditions. The Town will allow the reduction in road widths as long as adequate right-of-way is reserved to allow the roads to be improved to current Town standards. This request is made in case the homeowners ever request the Town of Avon to take over the maintenance of the roads. It is the Staff's position that such a request would have to be accompanied by a proposal to bring the roads up to Town standards. The proposed road layout and cul-de-sac lengths are also acceptable to Staff aslong as the pedestrian path system is constructed and maintained in such a way that would allow emergency vehicle access during the non -winter months, and with the condition that all buildings within the subdivision be fully sprinkled and alarm monitored for fire protection. In addition to these concerns is the issue of private roads. The Staff believes it is paramount to require public access through to the U.S. Forest Service lands to the north of the development. We believe that trailhesd and parking areas accessible to the public should be required and constructed in at least two areas. One is in conjumction with the Buck Creek Road Special Use Permit and should provide access up into Buck Creek. The second trailhead should be on Wildwood STAFF REPORT TO T!IE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Page 5 of 8 Mountain Star PUD Amendment/Preliminary Plan Wildwood investment Co./Mountain Star Limited Liability Go. Public Hearing Road, within the Subdivision and should provide for public access across Tract C and into the U.S. Forest lands in the Metcalf Creek area. 8. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. STAFF COMMENTS: The extensive open space areas of this proposal will be primarily left in their undisturbed and natural state. Other than the pedestrian trail system, no other improvements or changes to the open space areas is intended. The natural features and views of and from the site are optimized and preserved through the careful planning of road and lot layout and through well thought out design guidelines. 9. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. The phasing plan shall clearly demonstrate that each phase can be workable, functional and efficient without relying upon completion of future project, phases. STAFF COMMENTS: The project is anticipated to be completed in two phases. Phase One will consist of the extension of Wildwood Road, all internal roads and the infrastructure to all lots. Phase Two will consist of Buck Creek Road completion. Phase One is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 1993 and Phase Two in the Spring of 1995. Staff believes this phasing plan is adequate and acceptable, so long as collateral for Buck Creek Road is submitted and that Buck Creek Road is completed and accepted by the Town by August 1, 1996. 10. Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems, roads, parks, and police and fire protection. STAFF COMMENTS: The Staff has two concerns with the proposal as reviewed against this criteria. The proposed water distribution system is predicated upon the ability to a ­\ "S STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 3, 1992 Page 6 of 8 Mountain Star PUD Amendment/Preliminary Plan Wildwood Investment Co./Mounta,n Star Limited Liability Co. Public Hearing locate an underground water tank on U. S. Forest lands. A U.S. Forest Service Special Use Permit will be required to allow placement of the tank as designed. If this permit is refused, then we have serious concerns regarding water services and fire flow capabilities. An alternate water service plan must be designed and included within this review process. It should be noted that the Town Staff strongly supports the request to locate a tank on U.S. Forest land. 11. That the existing streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD. STAFF COMMENTS: The Avon Transportation Master Plan assumed an 80% buildout of the existing development plan. The reduction in density should not creace any additional demand for improvements beyond those shown in %he Master Plan. The intersection design for Buck Creek Road and Nottingham Road will include the appropriate level of improvements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Staff feels that the Mountain Star proposal, overall, is exceptional and we commend the applicant for their development cot ept and for their sensitivity to the natural environment. Oe believe that this level of density and this type of product are appropriate for the site and that the amended proposal is a huge improvement over the existing plan. We do have some. operational concerns which we feel must be addressed. The Staff recommendation is for approval of the Mountain Star PUD Amendment and Preliminary Plan with the following conditions: 1. The final plat shall designate su''ficient road right-of-way to allow the roads to be improved to the current Town standards. 2. The pedestrian path from Goldenrod to Paintbrush shall be designed, constructed and maintained to allow emergency vehicle access during non -winter months. of do STAFF REPORT November 3, Page 7 of 8 TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 1992 40 Mountain Star PUD Amendment/Preliminary Plan Wildwood Investment Co./Mountain Star Limited Liability Co.

The application was tabled by the Commission, primarily due to concerns with building siting, landscaping and driveway grare,;. A new site plan and landscape plan have been submitted and they appear to respond well to the Commission's concerns. The house sits in the same location as before, but the driveway location has been moved to the northern corner of the lot, allowing for a maximum grade of 5.3%. A boulder retaining wall with a maximum height of 5 feet will be utilized to maintain the desired grade. A complete grading plan for the residence is shown on the site plan and it appears to work quite well, although some rock retainage may also be necessary at the northwest corner of the house. The landscape plan includes a small area of bluegrass with the balance of disturbed areas p anted in a native grass mix. Aspens and potentilla make up the larger plant materials.

This proposal is for a 2800 square toot single family home with attached 2 car garage. Overall driveway grade is approximately 11%. The residence is a gable roof, two story stucco building with cedar fascia and window trim. This residence was reviewed at a conceptual level on October 20th and the Planning and Zoning Commission listed the following concerns; site grading, driveway grades, window trim consistency, trimming of wagon wheel windows and the width of the sidelights. The applicant hac responded by holding the intial 30 feet OT the driveway to a 6% grade, and the overall grading plan has been amended to show a minimized disturbed area, although no retaining walls have been incorporated into the site plan. The steepest portion of the driveway cut is left at a 2:1 slope. The trim treatment of the windows has been amended to present a more consistent approach. A 2" x 8" lintel and a 2" x 6" sill treatmnt is consistent on most windows. On areas where the windows are close to the roof soffits the 2" x 8" lintel has been deleted. There is no trim on the wagon wheel windows an no change to the half round above the entry door. A complete landscape plan has been submitted for review. The building height, setbacks and site coverage are all well within zoning standards. STAFF COMMENTS The Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of a proposed project: 6.11 - The conformance with the Zoning Ccde and other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon.
