Lot: 6 is 0.684 of an acre (29,795 square feet) in size and has frontage on Wildridge Road. The driveway is 18' wide and 24 parking spaces are provided on the lot (12 inside and 12 outside). Each of the tri-plex buildings wil' house three four-bedroom units. All units have approximately 1,650 square feet of habitable area, a two car garage and a gas fireplace. Each building is two stories high with a maximum building height of 34' above finished grade. Exterior building materials include horizontal and vertical channel rustic cedar siding with 2" x 8" and 1" x 4" rough sawn cedar fascia, aluminum windows, 6 panel metal doors with side light, 1" x 4" rough sawn cedar trim around windows and doors.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 1, 1992 Lots 14/15, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Business Center/Storage Facility Mark Donaldson for T. J. Connor Conceptual Design Review INTRODUCTION Mark Donaldson, on behalf of T. J. Connor, is requesting conceptual design review of a proposed business center/storage facility on Lots 14/15, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. Lot 14 is 1.33 acres and Lot 15 is 1.46 acres in size. Both lots are zoned Industrial and Commercial (IC) and are located on Metcalf i.oad north of the Avon Business and Service Center. The first two levels of each building will be comprised of warehouse and office space and the third level will be mini (self) storace. The project consists of two three story buildings. Each building is 22,000 sq. ft. in size and 41 feet high. "[he buildings are very similar to the Mountain Center building on Lot 26/27 with vehicular access to the first and second levels of the building. There are approximately 60 parking spaces on the lot on the east and west sides of the buildings. These two parking areas are connected to each other by an access aisle located between the two buildings. This aisle has a 12% grade but will be heated in the winter months for safety. A conceptual site/grading and drainage plan has been submitted for the Commission's review. This application is very conceptual in nature. As of writing this report Staff has not had the oppor.unity to review any drawings. Proposed building materials have not yet been determined. The applicants have stateo that the purpose of this review is simply to get an initial reading from the Commission before proceeding any further with the project. They have agreed to come back to the Commission %•,tn a much more detailed conceptual submittal at a later date. As this is a conceptual review, no formal action will be taken at this time.

Commission Review/Discussion Respectfully submitted, Jim Curnutte Town Planner STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 1, 1992 Lot 56E, Flock 2, Wildridge Subdivision Amadee Residence Remodel/Design Review INTRODUCTION The owner of the east side of the duplex on Lot 56E, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision wishes to remodel his unit for the purpose of adding an additional level below the two existing levels of the building. This application was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 18, 1992 (see attached staff report). The Commission had a number of concerns with the proposal, as submitted, and asked the applicant to consider certain revisions and come back to the next, meeting for another review. The comments made by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the August 18, 1992, meeting were as follows: - Look for ways to break up the massing of the large south wall. - The east wall is very plain, consider adding windows and/or landscaping. - Consider stepping the building down the hill to provide more relief. - It is an acceptable idea to fill in the arches, but not as currently shown. Strongly encourage west half neighbor to do the same. Mark Donaldson, on behalf of the unit owners, has submitted revised plans for the Commission's review. The changes made as a result of the Planning and Zoning Commission's suggestions are summarized as follows: - Additional landscaping has teen added to the east and south sides of the building as follows: 10 - 3" Caliper Aspens 2 - 6'-8' Spruce 20 - 5 Gallon Shrubs Automatic Irrigation System - Two additional windows have been added to the east facing wall. - The stairs have been partially enclosed and a root has STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 1, 1992 Page 2 of 4 Lot 56E, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Amadee Residence Remodel/Design Review been added over the stairwell to help break up the massing of the south wall. - Deck railings have been changed from being enclosed with siding to horizontal metal rail. STAFF COMMENTS The Commission shall consider the follow ng items in reviewing the design of a proposed project: 6.11 - The conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon. COMMENT: This proposal is in conformance with the zoning code and other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of V -on. 6.12 - The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located. COMMENT: The building materials proposed for use on this addition match those currently used on the building. 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. COMMENT: The proposed addition will not have any detrimental site impacts to adjacent properties. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. COMMENT: The finished floor of the lower levet of the building is currently 18' to 20' above grade. The new addition would seem to have the effect of tying the building into the land rather than hovering above it. The new lower level walls will be supported on a foundation, however, no revised grading plan has been provided to show how existing grades will be altered. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 1, 1992 Page 3 of 4 a Lot 56E, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Amadee Residence Remodel/Design Review a 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. COMMENT: The appearance of this addition from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways seems acceptable. No additional landscaping has been proposed around the addition. It would appear that the appearance of the east side of the building would benefit from the addition of a few trees. 6.16 - The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired. COMMENT: Staff sees no conflict with this criteria. 6.17 - The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals. Policies and Programs of the Town of Avon. COMMENT: The proposal is in conformance with the adopted goals, policies and programs of the Town of Avon.
