Holy Cross Electric Association Line Relocation
Special Review Use Amendment
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION
In May of 1987 the Town Council approved a Special Review Use
request from Holy Cross Electric. The request and approval
allowed Holy Cross to upgrade the existing 69KV line to a
115KV transmission line. The existing 69KV line leaves tl:e
Metcalf Road Substation and traverses a ridge just north of
I-70. At this point there are several highly visible towers.
The line then runs east through the Town limits and beyond,
eventually turning south and dropping into the Eagle -Vail
Substation. The 1987 approval for upgrade to 115KV
maintained the existing alignment. This ungrade was never
executed.
Holy Cross is now requesting a slightly different alignment
out of the Metcalf Road Substation to run a 115KV line. The
existing 69KV line would be moved to the new alignment.
Although the new alignment does represent a visual
improvement in comparison to the existing 69KV line, the
Staff does have some concerns about this project.
In the 1987 approval, the 69KV line was to be removed. The
current request will have the 69KV line unde-hanging from the
115KV line from Metcalf Road to Buck Creek. At Buck Creek
the 69KV line will drop underground and run down Buck Creek
to the Pizza Hut area, along Swift Gulch Road, then north up
Swift Gulch to the existing alingment. At that point it will
come aboveground and continue on its present alignment to the
Eagle -Vail Substation. The new 115KV line will continue
across Buck Creek and through to the Town limits. It then
angles north and eventually connects to the Vail Substation
on Red Sandstone Road.
The Staff has raised several concerns and issues with this
proposal, and with the existing lines through Town.
The Town Staff would like to take this opportunity to work
with Holy Cross to consider consolidation of some of the
power lines that run into and out of the Metcalf Road
Substation. At present there are 5 separate lines which
connect with this Substation. these lines create a
tremendous amount of visual clutter and unsightlyness in this
high traffic area. The Staff believes there should be a
consolidation of these lines, ultimately allowing the removal
of the power lines and towers which run up either side of
Metcalf Road.
STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

Page 2 of 4
Holy Cross Electric Association Line Relocation
Special Review Use Amendment
Public Hearing
The Staff also questions the necessity of retaining the
existing 69KV line. This line creates a poor visual image
through Avon and through the valley floor all the way to
Eagle -Vail.
Representatives of the Wildwood/Mountain Star property have
raised concerns with the new 115KV line crossing their
property at Buck Creek and would like to investigate
alternatives, including possible burial of the 'line.
An additional concern of the Staff is the proposed
undergrounding of the existing 69KV line at Buck Creek. No
information has been submitted regarding exact alignment or
availability of easements.
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: There are no other conflicts with the Zoning
Code related to this proposal.
B. Whether the proposed use is in conformance with the
Town Comprehensive Plan;
COMMENT: Page 1.2 of the Comprehensive Plan contains
Avon's visior. statement. The second paragraph of the vision
statement reads "IMprovement of the visual appearance of the
Town and development of a high quality urban design image".
The importance of this statement cannot be over emphazised.
The Comprehensive Plan refers over and over to the importance
of a positive visual appearance of the Town and its
neighborhoods. There is an opportunity here to address the
most prominent negative visual element related to Metcalf
Road and the Wildridge Subdivision, however, the information
provided to date does not allow us to adequately define or
evaluate those possibilities.
As presented, Staff feels very strongly that this proposal
STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
June 16, 1992
Page 3 of 4
Holy Cross Electric Association Line Relocation
Special Review Use Amendment
Public hearing
does not conform to the goals and direction of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan.
C. Whether the proposed use is compatible with
adjacent 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: As proposed, the Staff does not feel that an
additional power line across Avon is compatible with adjacent
uses. We believe that there are some options and
opportunities which have been raised which have not been
adequately addressed by this proposal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes that there are issues related to this request
that deserve to be addressed.
Although the new alignment requested does present a better
visual appearance than the existing alignment, the Staff can
not recommend approval without a better understanding of the
issues that have been raised.
The Staff recomemntlation for this proposal is for tabling.
This would allow the Staff and applicant to further discuss
and understand options and alternatives. Tabling the request
would also allow representatives of Wildwood/Mountain Star to
investigate alternatives for the Buck Creek Crossing.
If the Planning and Zoning Commission chooses to act upon
this application at this time, the Staff feels that we have
no alternative but to list the issues as conditions of
approval. These conditions are:
1. The two existing 115KV lines that lead into the
Metcalf Substation be consolidated into one
alignment and that alignment would be the lower
115KV approach.
2. That the two 115KV lines leaving the Substation, the
existing and proposed lines, follow the newly
proposed alignment out of the Metcalf Road
Substation and through to the Town of Avon boundary.

Lyon Trucks, Inc.
Contractor's Yard and Soil Storage
Special Review Use
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION
Lyon Trucks, Inc. is requesting a Special Review Use to allow
outside storage on Lots 14 and 15, Block 1, Benchmark at
Beaver Creek Subdivision. Lots 14 and 15 are zoned
Industrial Commercial and outside storage is allowed as a
Spec=al Review Use.
The use would consist of storage for six commercial vehicles,
including front end loaders and dump trucks, an office
trailer and storage of up to 500 yards of soil.
An area between the storage use and Metcalf Road would be
bermed to screen visibility of the site.
The applicant does not anticipate dust to be a problem, but
will take appropriate action if it becomes necessary, such as
utilizing tarps or watering the soil.
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 is in compliance with all
other applicable zoning regulations.
B. Whether the proposed use is in conformance with the
Town Comprehensive Plan;
COMMENT: The Metcalf road subarea description
identifies existing problems as insufficient landscaping and
screening for existing industrial and storage uses and
defines this as undesirable. New development in this area
should include architectural and landscape screening of
storage areas.
Goal #I-1 states "Ensure that a high quality visual image of

the Town is established through both public and private
sector activities".
Objective "E" of that goal states "Improve the appearance and
image of the service district along Nottingham and Matcalf
Roads through enhanced design, screening of activities and
landscaping".
As the Pn'.rance to the Wildridge Subdivision, the appearance
and character of the Industrial/Commercial District are
extremely important.
The intention of the IC District is to provide sites for
light industrial and manufacturing uses, wholesale outlets,
and warehousing, offices and storage facilities.
The Staff believes that outside storage of heavy equioment
and soil is not an appropriate use for this zone dist ict,
and is not consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive
Plan or the IC Zone District.
C. Whether the proposed use is compatible with adjacent
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: Staff does not believe this request is
compatible with adjacent uses. The majority of the IC
District has developed as office and warehouse/showroom uses
and displays a lighter industrial character than that of a
contractor's yard and soil storage facility. The staff is
very concerned about dust and stormwater runoff as well as
the visual impacts upon the adjacent properties and upon the
traveling public.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommendation is for denial of this request. We
believe this use represents a diversion away from the
development pattern of the IC District and will create a
negative visual impact upon the District. Additional
concerns of Staff are dust and stormwater runoff.

RE: Lyon Trucks, Inc.
Dear Mr. Pylman:
This letter is designed to outline to you the operations
to be conducted by Lyon Trucks, Inc. on Lots 14 and 15,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek, for which a special review use
application has been filed.
The following operations are planned:
1. The storage of six commercial vehicles, including
front-end loaders and dump trucks.
2. The storage of soil, on a temporary basis only, on
those occasions that sufficient storage is not available
at a particular job site. Such storage shall not at any
one time exceed 500 yards of soil and is expected to
average far less than this quantity.
3. The company expects to maintain a trailer on the site
as an office.
In addition, in response to specific concerns raised by you,
please note the following:
1. The area of the lots abutting Metcalf Road will be
bermed as depicted on the plans prepared by Intermountain
Engineering and deliverE:d previously to you. This is
expected to provide sufficient screening from view of
these operations from Metcalf Road.
2. Dust is not anticipated to be a problem because the
type of soil to be stored is of a heavy, rocky nature.
If high winds bacome a problem, however, the company is
willing to take appropriate action, including the use of
tarps to contain the soil or wetting the soil to reduce
dust.

3. We want to stress to the Town that the proposed uses
of the site are on a small-scale basis. The plans
submitted show that only a small percentage of the land
is usable for the above-described purposes. In addition,
soil will be stored only when necessary and for as short
a time as is needed.
Please call me if anything further ?s needed or if you
wish to discuss this application in greater detail.

Lot _45, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Vedder Duplex
Front Yard Setback Variance Request
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION
Brian Vedder is requesting a variance to allow for a fifteen
(15) foot building encroachment into the required twenty five
(25) foot front yard setback on Lot 45, Block 3, Wildridge
Subdivision. The building encroachment involves the garages
on both sides of the duplex.
Lot 45 is 0.99 of an acre (43,124 sq. ft.) in size. The
..nits themselves are approximately 2,650 and 2,100 sq. ft. in
size, not including garages. The applicant has stated that
the variance is necessary to provide reasonable access to the
garage without excessive elevation differentials. Also, the
original subdivision guidelines provide for up to 15' front
yard setback variances when a property has an average slope
of 20% - 30%. Mr. Vedder has indicated that his lot has an
average slope of 26%.
STAFF COMMENTS
Before acting on a variance application, the Commission shall
consider the following factors with respect to the requested
variance:
SECTION 17.36.40 Approval Criteria
A. The relationship of the requested variance to
other existing or potential uses and structures in the
vicinity;
STAFF RESPONSE: Lot 44 to the west has a building
under construction at the present time. This building was
designed in a manner that allowed all portions of the
building to be outside of the 25' setback Brea. Lots 46 to
the east and 48 to the north are vacant. Staff does not feel
that the garage encroachment will hate a significant negative
effect on the future homeowners of these lots or on the
character of Wildridge a.r a whole.
B. The degree to which relief from the strict or
literal interpretation and enforcements of a specified
regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and
uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to
attain the obiectives of this title without grant of special
privilege;

Vedder Duplex
Front Yard Setback Variance Request
Public Hearing
STAFF RESPONSE: as mentioned previously, the
building being constructed on lot 44 to the west is meeting
all of it's setback requirements. Since lot 45 is not
significantly steeper than lot 44 it would not appear that
relief from the strict enforcement of the setback requirement
is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of
treatment among sites in the vicinity.
C. Tha effect of the requested variance on light
and air, distribution of population, transportation and
traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and
public safety;
STAFF RESPONSE: There would not appear to be any
negative effects upon the items listed in the above criteria.
SECTION 17.36.50 Findings P_eClLired
The Commission shall make the following written findings
before granting a variance;
A. That the granting of the variance will not
constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations of other properties classified in the same
district;
B. That the granting of the variance will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity;
C. That the variance is warranted for one or more
of the following reasons:
1. The strict, literal interpretation
and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in
practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title,

Vedder Duplex
Conceptual Design Review
INTRODUCTI0N
Brian Vedder is requesting conceptual design review of a
proposed duplex building on Lot 45, Block 3, Wildridge
Subdivision. Lot 45 is .43 of an acre (43,124 square feet)
in size and is located on Wildridge Road East. The Vedder
duplex units will be accessed via asphalt driveways which
approach the houses from the northwest and northeast at a
grade of approximately 8-1GA. A conceptual
landscape/grading/site plan has been submitted for the
commissions review.
The proposed two and one half story building is approximately
4,750 square feet in size, not including the garages. The
maximum building height, at 40', exceeds the maximum
allowable. There is a gas Fireplace located in each unit.
Exterior building materials are as follows:
CementitioUS tile shingles (dull finish)
1" x 6" T&G cedar siding (25% of wall area)
- Stucco (75% of wall area)
Cladded wood windows
Stucco deck pilasters
STAFF COMMENTS
Since this is a conceptual design review applica,•ion no
formal action will be taken at this time. However, Staff
would offer the following comments:
- The proposed building height should be adjusted so ti�at
it does not exceed 35' above existing or finished
grade.
- Those portions of the concrete driveway thresholds and
lanterns located in the utility easements will need
review and approval from all utility companies prior to
the issua-ce of a building permit.

Brennand Residence
Final Design Review
INTRODUCTION
James L. Brennand is requesting fi.al design review of his
proposed single family residence on Lot 67, Block 4,
Wildridge Subdivision. Lot 67 is .51 of an acre (22,216
square feet) in size and is located on Wildridge Road East.
The Brennand residence received conceptual design review on
June 2, 1992. The Planning and Zoning Commission offered the
following comments at the meeting:
- The north and west elevations could use more windows, if
not, do something with the siding to improve the
appearance.
- Add more landscaping around the house.
- Fit the house into the natural topography rather than
grade a flat bench to set the house on.
- The massing of the upper level of the house seems
awkward, see if it can be improved.
- Increase the driveway width to atleast 14'.
The Brennand residence will be accessed via a 14' wide
asphalt driveway which approaches the house from the
northeast at approximately 5%. A conceptual
landscape/grading/site plan has been submitted for the
commissions review.
The proposed two story residence is approximately 2,150
square feet in size, not including the two car garage.
Maximum building height is 26'. There is a gas fireplace
located in the living room of this home and a deck located at
grade along the south side of the building. Exterior
building materials are as follows:
- Timberline Ultra asphalt shingles (slate blend)
- 1" x 6" cedar siding (stained white birch)
- Stucco located at the chimney only (white)
- 1" x 4" & 1" x 10" cedar facia (white)
- Cedar plywood soffits (white)
- Clad casement windows (white)
- Wood deck

STAFF COMMENTS
The Commission shall consider the following 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 Avon
Zoning Code and other applicable rules and regulations of the
town, with the exception that the slope along the northeast
part of the driveway exceeds the maximum allowable for an
unretained wall.
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 type and quality of both the building and
landscape materials are suitable with town guidelines.
6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site
impacts to adjacent properties.
COMMENT: The siting and landscaping of the building is
sympathetic to the adjacent residential property. All
grading will be contained within lot lines. The applicant has
made a number of changes to the building in responce to the
commissions comments at the conceptual review meeting.
6.14 - The ccmpatibility of the proposed improvement
with site topography.
COMMENT: The applicant has amended his elevation
drawings to fit the house in better with the existing
topography of the lot. This revised grading scheme however
has not been reflected on the site plan.
6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed
improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.

Design Review
INTRODUCTION
The Maroney residence located on Lot 38-A, Block 2, Wildridge
Subdivision received conceptual design review approval on
August 6, 1991. One of the five comments made by the
Commission at the time was that "the exposed foundation walls
must be covered with some type of finish material and stucco
is suggested."
On August 20, 1991, Final Design review approval was granted
for the residence. The approved building materials were:
10" round log siding
Stucco on all exposed concrete
Woodruf shingles
Aluminum windows
On Octoher 15, 1991, the Maroney's received design review
approval to change their roof material from woodruf to
asphalt shingles (Timberline).
Pat and Gayle Maroney are now proposing a change to the
approved material on the exposed concrete areas of the house
from the stucco to paint. A sample of the proposed paint
color will be presented at the meeting.

Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark Subdivision
Bristol Pines Townhomes
Material Change Request
Design Review
INTRODUCTION
On March 19, 1991, Mountain Coast Homes, Inc. received Final
Design Review and Fractionalization approval for the 14 unit
Bristol Pines Townhouse project; on lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark
at Beaver Creek Subdivision. The project consists of two
buildings containing six and eight units respectively. The
eightplex building will house 4 two bedroom units and 4 three
bedroom units. The sixplex building will be comprised of 4
two bedroom units and 2 three bedroom units. The residential
portion of the buildings are located on the upper three
levels with one car garages, a mechanical room and some
storage space located on the lower leve:. All of the units
include a gas fireplace.
The staff report presented to the Design Review Board on
March 19, 1991, specifies the following exterior building
materials:
- Redwood and stucco siding
- Cedar shingles
- Aluminum clad windows
- Metal deck railings
- Spherical pendant lights
During the meeting one of the Commission members asked the
applicants representitive, Mark Donaldson, if redwood siding
is really going to be used on the building. Mr. Donaldson
stated that since the applicant was considering a solid body
stain for the siding he did'nt want to commit to redwood but
stated that it would be some type of wood siding.
In early May Mountain Coast Homes Inc. submitted a building
permit application for construction of the project. During
staff review of the construction drawings it became apparent
that a number of changes from the original design review
approvals were being proposed ( fenestration, siding, removal
of pendant lights, etc.). Staff feels comfortable approving
the proposed changes on a staff level with the exception of
the following:

Dasign Review
- Change from cedar shingles to asphalt shingles. The
applicant could like to use the 360 Lb, per square
Timberline shingle. The color will be weathered wood.
- Change from natural board siding to masonite siding. Mr.
Donaldson has indicated to staft that when he told the
Commission on March 19, 1991, that he wanted to leave the
siding type open he thought that included masonite.

Lots 2 and 4, Sunroad Subdivision
Denny's Restaurant and Commercial Building
Conceptual Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Jim Morter, of Morter Architects, on behalt of Kevin Killham,
has requested conceptual design review of a proposed Denny's
restaurant and attached commercial building on Lots 2 and 4.
Sunroad Subdivision. Lots 2 and 4 are 0.503 (21,910 sq.
ft.) and 0.581 (25,308 sq. ft.) of an acre, respectively, and
are zoned Town Center (TC). If the applicants proposed
development plan receives final design approval. they will
close on the property and vacate the common lot line between
Lots 2 and 4 to form one lot. The proposed restaurant and
commercial building are allowed uses in the TC Zone District.
The proposed development consists of a one story restaurant
(open 24 hours) with a floor area of approximately 5,100 sq.
ft. and a one story commercial building with a floor area of
approximately 2,500 sq. ft. The owners of the property do
not intend to build the commercial portion of the project at
this time. They would, however, like to proceed through the
design review process and obtain all of their required
approvals for the entire project. An alternate north
elevation drawing of the building has been provided, which
shows how that wall will look until the commercial portion is
added. Assuming that the commercial building will be used
for retail purposes and considering the size of the
restaurant dining area, the minimum parking requirement for
the project is approximately 41 spaces. The site plan shows
52 parking spaces on the property, including 4 handicap
spaces. When these spaces are combined with the other
impervious materials on the property (buildings, sidewalks,
driveways, etc.) the total area of impervious surfaces on the
property is approximately 36,117 sq. ft., which is 77% of the
site. This figure is slightly under the 80% maximum
impervious coverage allowed in the TC Zone District. The
large amount of impervious surfaces on the lot appears to be
a result of the applicant's desire to provide excess parking
spaces and a driveway that loops around the building. All
trash storage associated with the restaurant will be
contained within the loading area and therefore completely
out of public view. No specifics have been provided for the
commercial building trash storage. Proposed building
materials are as follows:
- The roof of the buildings will be covered with a
balast material. Mechanical equipment on the roof will be
screened via stucco covered walls.

Lots 2 and 4, Sunroad Subdivision
Denny's Restaurant and Commercial Building
Conceptual Design Review
- The buildings walls will be covered with stucco
and split faced concrete block.
- Windows and doors will be alumimum.
- SIGNS - There will be three signs on the
restaurant. These signs will be 2' x 14' (28 sq. ft.) and
will be located on the north, east, and west walls of the
restaurant. The signs will be individual letters with metal
returns and yellow plexiglass faces. The signs will be
internally illuminated. No signage is presently shown for
the commercial area, however, the applicant has indicated
that it will most likely be individual, plexiglass faced,
internally illuminated letters. A monument sign is proposed
to be located at the southeast corner of the property. The
sign is 8' high and will include only the Denny's name (no
reference to the retail shops). The sign will be an
interior -lit, yellow plastic faced, box sign with a metal
border. The sign will be supported on a stone pedestal.
STAFF COMMENTS
As this is a conceptual review, no formal action will be
taken at this time. However, Staff has the following
comments:
- Staff feels that it is a good idea to review an entire
project up front, even though it may be built in phases over
time. We do, however, have some concerns with the phasing
plan of this particular development.
- It may be possible to use the area under the
commercial building to satisfy parking requirements. This
would allow a larger landscape buffer around the perimeter of
the property.
- Additional windows should be added to the north
elevation of the building.
- More detailed information of proposed signing should be
submitted at the final design stage (especially for the
commercial building).
- A model of the proposed building and lot should be
presented at the final design stage.

Conceptual Design Review
- More specific information should be provided regarding
trash storage for the commercial building.
- The applicant should consider reducing the overall amount
of impervious surface on the property (reduce number of
parking spaces).
- The landscape
plan should
be coordinated with
the existing
plans for landscaping
Avon
road as well as the
post office
property to the
west. The
landscape plan should
specify all
proposed plant
materials
by name and size.
Since this
property is at a
prominent location
in Town and surrounded
on
three siot-s by
roadways,
a rather extensive
and mature
landscape treat%ment
is suggested.

Conceptual Design Review
- The overall amount of landscaping on the lot
appears to be very minimul. Showing native vegetation at all
areas arond the house and driveway seems unrealistic.
- The building elevaticrn drawings submitted for
final design review should be at least 1/4 scale.
The grading/drainage plan needs a lot more work.
