PZC Packet 030392STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivisiion Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Special Review Use Oublic Hearing INTRODUCTION David Galloway, of Galloway, Romero and Associates, on behalf of Diamond Shamrock, is requesting a Special Review Use permit to allow for the construction of an automobile service station on Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision. Lot 1 is 0.62 of an acre (27,007 sq. ft.) in size as currently platted, however, the applicants wish to move the lot line between Lots 1 and 2 approximately 30' to the east. If the proposed minor subdivision is approved by the Town Council, the new lot size of Lot 1 will be 0.727 of an acre (31,600 sq. ft.). Lots 1 and 2 are cureently zonwed Neighborhood Commercial. The intention of the Neighborhood Commercial District is to provide sites for commercial facilities and services for the principle benefit of residents of the community and also to highway -oriented convenience commercial needs. The purpose of listing automobile service station as a special review use in the NC zone district is to allow the Planning Commission and Tov,n Council to assess the need for imposing any additional development or performance standards (i.e, not specifically required by the zoning/building codes) reasonably determined to be necessary to meet the special review use criteria and/or mitigate against any adverse impacts to adjaacent property and/or occupants. The proposed development consists of a one story building with a floor area of 1,563 sq. ft. and four petroleum dispenser islands. The site also includes appurtenant parking, driveway, landscaping and drainage facilities, as well as a 49' x 103'8" canopy over the building and pump islands. The canopy has a maximum height of 18'8" above finished grade. A 12' x 20' handicap parki.g space has been conveniently located on the south side of the building and ramps have been placed at both entry doors for ease of access. There are three 12,000 gallon and one 8, 000 gallon underground petroleum storage tanks located at the eastern side of the lot. The applicants propose to use a portion of Lot 2 (25' x 40' area) for turning large trucks around on those occasions when the site is to crowded to manouver. This is preferable to backing out onto Hurd Lane. lhis same area may also be used as a drive for future cross access between Lots 1 and 2 in the future. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Page 2 of 5 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Special Design 1teview 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 and the Town Council 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. 8. Whether the proposed use is in conformance with the town comprehensive plan; COMMENT: It would appear that the proposed use is in general conformance with the Avon Comprehensive Plan. The Avon Comprehensive Plan's Urban Design Plan includes this property in Subarea 4 "Town Gateway". It is critical that properties within this Subarea are developed in a manner which creates an attractive appearance. The following goals and objectives exerpted from the Avon Comprehensive Plan also seem applicable to this proposal: - Enhance the Towr's role as a principal, year-round residential and commercial center in the Vail Valley. - Provide for increased opportunities for development of service-oriented commercial and light industrial uses, with proper controls to ensure compatibility. - Ensure that a high quality visual image of the Town is established through both public and private sector activities. - E,cure that the high quality, natural environment is preserved and integrated into the developed areas of the Town. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Page 3 of 5 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Special Review Use Public Hearing - Ensure that future development will minimize degradation of the environment, particularly in sensitive natural areas. - Protect and enhance the water quality of the Eagle River and Nottingham Lake. 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: The applicant has made great strides in the last few months to improve the compatibility of the proposal with adjacent uses. Staff's biggest concerns with this proposed were protection of the Eagle River and providing an acceptable level of lighting as viewed from adjacent properties. The applicant has provided a lighting plan, as well as cut sheets anu engineering specifications for lighting fixtures. The foot candle footprint plan shows that minimal light spills over the site boundries. The applicants have also worked with Staff to reduce the impacts of seeing direct light sources, as viewed from surrounding properties, by providing recessed canopy lights and flat lens style site lights. Staff is still concerned with the impacts of the white pump spanners and internally lit white plexiglass faced signs. In order to reduce possible contamination to ground water and/or the nearby Eagle River, the applicant is proposing state-of-the-art secondary containment fuel product equipment (dov'.ie wall tanks and piping system, vapor recovery, etc.). This equipment provides maximum protection against underground spills or leaks. The applicants drainage plan provides a positive means of drainage collection and treatment by: 1. Providing treatment of all runoff for oil/fuel removal for even the slightest spill. STAFF REPORT TO THE ANING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Page 4 of 5 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Special Review Use Public Hearing 2. Providing capture and treatement for the unexpected large event (over 8,000 gallons of positive collection and storage). A more more detailed presentation of lighting and environmental protection measures will be presented by the applicant at the meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff feels that an automobile service station is an appropriate use for this site. The proximity of this site to the Eagle River raises major environmental concerns, however, the applicant has demonstrated that the proposed use can be designed and controlled to mitigate the potential for gasoline to contaminate the Eagle River in the event of a minor or major spill incident. Other concerns of the Staff in utilizing this site as a gasoline service station may be addresse through the design review process ( spanner and sign lighting). RECOMMENDED ACTION 1.

It does not ensure a high quality visual image of the Town. 2. It does not minimize degradation of the environment, particularly om sensitive natural areas. 3. It does not protect and enhance the water quality of the Eagle River and Nottinqham Lake. 4. It does cause considerable traffic problems. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Lot 1, and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Final Design Review INTRODUCTION David Galloway, of Galloway, Romero and Associates, on behalt of Diamond Shamrock, Inc., has requested final design review of a proposed convenience store and motor fuel sales facility on Lot 1, and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision. Lots 1 and 2 of the Nottingham Station Subdivision are owned by Nottingham Investment Co. and are zoneo Neighborhood Commercial (NC). Lot 1 is 0.62 of an acre (27,007 sq. -rt.) in size as currently platted, however, the applicants wish to move the lot line between Lots 1 and 2 approximately 30' to the east. If the proposed minor subdivision is approved by the Town Council, the new lot size of Lot 1 will be 0.727 of an acre (31,600 sq. ft.). Since an automobile service station is not listed specificall,, as an allowed use in the Neighborhood Commercial zone district, the applicants have submitted a Special Review Use application in conjunction with this design review application. In addition, a minor subdivision has been requested for the purpose of adjusting the lot line between Lots 1 and 2. The proposed development consists of a one story building with a floor area of 1,563 square feet and four petroleum dispenser islands. The site also includes appurtenant parking, driveway, landscaping and drainage facilities, as well as a 49' x 103'6" canopy over the building and pump islands. The canopy has a maximum height of 18'8" above finished grade. A 12' x 20' handicap parking space nas been conveniently located on the south side of the building and ramps have been placed at both entry doors for ease of access. The parking requirement of 7 spaces is being met on site There are three 12,000 gallon and one 8,000 gallon underground petroleum storage tanks located at the eastern Gide of the lot. Proposed building and site materials are as follows: BUILDING: The majority of the building will be finished with stucco (light grey color). the top 3' of the building is proposed to be 1" x 4' horizontal T & G cedar siding, stained light grey and red. The building's windows and doors are black anodized aluminum. • a a STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Page 2 of 8 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Final Design Review CANOPY: The top 3' of the canopy will be finished with red metal fascia panels. Below that is an 9" dark grey metal reveal. The canopy columns and column supports on top of the building are steel and painted dark grey. The canopy will include eighteen 400 watt super metal halide recessed light fixtures with prismatic glass lenses. Drainage of the canopy is handled by concealed downspouts within the canopy ciltimns. The canopy roofing and structu ul elements on top of the roof will be painted white. PUMP ISLANDS: The pump islands include red, white, black and grey petroleum dispensers under 2'6" x 14' plastic white illuminated spanners. The white spanners have a red accent stripe. The total wattage at each spanner is approximately 1,080 watts. SIGNS: There are two Diamond Shamrock signs on the canopy. These signs are located on the north and south fascia and are interior -lit white plastic channel letter signs. The canopy signs are 18" x 21' or 31.5 square feet each. Another sign "Corner Store" is proposed on the south side of the convenience store. This sign consists of interior -lit green plastic channel letters. The corner store sign is 18" x 14' or 21 square feet in size. A freestanding monument sign identifying the business and gas prices is located near the west property line. This sign will be an interior -lit, plastic faced, box sign. The sign face will be red, white and green with a dark grey metal border. rhe sign will be supported by two 8" x 8' timber posts stained grey to match the building fascia. This sign is 5'10" x 8'3-3/4" or 48.5 square feet and will have a maximum height of 12'4" above finished grade. TRASH ENCL: A 12' X 9' X 6' high trash enclosure is pro- posed in the northeast corner of the site. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Paye 3 of 8 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Final Design Review The enclosure will be constructed of concrete blocks and finished with a light grey stucco, with a 6" wide red band at the top. The enclosure doors will be made of 1" x 6" dog eared cedar pickets. The enclosure doors will be stained light grey to match the building. OTHER SITE CONDITIONS: All parking and driveway areas will be topped with 5" of reinforced concrete (8" slab over underground storage tanksj. A 6' concrete curb surrounds the paved areas. A concrete retaining wall with fluted face pattern will be placed along much of the north property line. Thi;; wall will range in height from 0' to 7' high, and will match the color scheme and patterns of the existing railroad under- pass retaining walls on Avon Rd. A 4' high black vinyl covered chain link fence will be placed on top of the retaining wall to match the one on the railroad underpass retaining walls. The retaining wall and fence will run approximately 185' along the center portion of the north property line. There are five 16' high area floodlights on the property. These lights incorporate a 400 watt super metal halide lamp in a medium sized one piece aluminum housing with a flat lens. The housing and pole will be painted dark grey. A free air station and two public telephones are lo.:ated along the eastern property line. Polaroid photographs have been provided of these facilities. A 25' x 40' area on Lot 2 is labled "drive for future access". The applicants propose to surround this area with a 4' high black vinyl covered chain link fence and a 2' high earthen berm. The area will be used to turn large trucks around when necessary. Written authorization from the owner of Lot 2 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Page 4 of 8 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdividiosn Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Final Design Review concerning the improvements on, and the use of the property will be provided by the applicant prior to submittal of a building permit aoplication. This area will be paved with 5" oP reinforced concrete. The site grading and drainage plans show that the site has been graded towards two inlet points where the water is piped to a 750 gallon mud and grease trap and a 10,000 gallon oil/water separator capable of treating the effluent to 15 PPM oil to water. From the tank, the storm water/run-off is piped to the existing storm water manhole at the corner of Hurd Lane and Avon Road. Parking/driveway areas have a maximum grade of 6% near the entrance, however, most of the site averages 2% to 3%. A landscape plan has been provided for the Commission's review. The plan shows a mixture of sod, shrub areas and evergreen and deciduous trees. A separately zoned automatic irrigation system will be provided to all shrub beds and lawn areas. fhe shrubs within the shrub bed areas will be surrounded with cobble rock, and a steel edger. The landscape plan includes a good mixture of plant species and sizes. The applicants have agreed to construct a 6' wide concrete sidewalk along Hurd Lane to their east property line. The sidewalk will conform with Town standards and is necessary for efficient and safe pedestrian access to and from the property. 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: As mentioned previously, an automobile service station is not a "use by right" in the NC zone district, but is listed as a special review use. This proposal will be in STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Page 5 of 8 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Final Design Review conformance with the Zoning Code if the accompanying special review use application is approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council. 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 oe located. COMMENT: The building architecture and material selection is somewhat consistant with the Avon design guidelines. As originally submitted, the building walls were entirely stucco, with a 3' metal fascia at the top. Staff suggested that the applicant consider incorporating wood and stone into the building design. The applicants responded to Staff's suggestion by substituting the metal fascia with the 1' x 4" horizontal T & G cedar siding at the building, and trash enclosure. The site itself appears to be very conducive to the development of the Neighborhood Commercial type uses for which it is zoned. 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. COMMENT: This property is bordered on the north by the 100' wide Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad right-of-way and on the south by Hurd Lane and the open space zoned Tracts A & B of the Nottingham Station Subdivision. Immediately to the west of this property is the 100' wide Avon Road right-of-way and to the east is Lot 2, Nottingham Station; which is zoned Neighborhood Commercial. The entrance to this property has been located as far to the east as possible in order to reduce driveway grades and increase the distance from the Hurd Lane/Avon Road intersection (approximately 160'). Staff has determined that the recent improvements to Avon Road and Hurd Lane are adequate to handle the anticipated traffic movements associated with this proposed business. The applicants have provided a lighting plan for tho Commission's review, as well as cut sheets and engineering specifications for lighting fixtures. The foot candle footprint plan shows that minimal light spills over the site boundaries, and the average foot candle amount at the property boundaries is 1 foot candle (fr), which is apparently the recommended minimal level for parking lots. The applicants have also worked with Staff to reduce the STAFF REPORT March 3, 1992 Page 6 of 8 10 THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Final Deeign Review impacts of seeing direct light source, as viewed from surrounding propert-.es, by providing recessed canopy lights and flat lens style site lights. Staff is still somewhat concerned with the aesthetics of the white plexiglass faced pump spanners and monument sign. A summary of proposed exterior lighting fixture wattages is as follows: Canopy Lights 400 watts each (18 total) Site Lights 400 watts each (5 total) Security Light 175 watts (1 total) Pump Spanners 1080 watts each (4 total) Monument Sign 648 watts (1 total) Canopy Sign 920 watts each (2 total) Cornerstore Sign 890 Watts (1 total) The applicant feels that their lighting compares very favorably to other similar facilities in the area. They have stated that the Conoco at Edwards has 1 canopy light per 140 sq. ft. of area, the "C" Mart has 1 canopy light per 106 sq. ft. of area, and the Diamond Shamrock proposal is 1 light per 292 sq. ft. of canopy area. Diamond Shamrock believes that their lighting plan creates a sensitive new standard in Avon for site lighting on areas which require good lighti,ig to perform their intended function safely. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. COMMENT: The proposed improvements appear to work well with site topcgraphy. The site has been designed to direct drainage flows in two directions, however, all surface run-off will ultimately pass through the 750 gallon mud and grease trap and the 10,000 gallon treatment device. 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighbor-.og properties and public ways. COMMENT: The visual appearance of the building seems to have been improved with the addition of wood siding in place of the 3' metal Fascia. The metal canopy fascia panels are materials which may be permitted only with the specific approval of the Commission. The guidelines also e•courage the use of natural or earth tones as the dominant crj)or with -i - STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 3, 1992 Page 7 of 8 Lot 1 and part of Lot 2, Nottingham Station Subdivision Diamond Shamrock Cornerstore Final Design Review trighter colors used for accent. The area of the red canopy exceeds the total area of the buildings stucco and wood siding. Staff recommends further discussi,)n of the possible visual impacts associated with the white pump spanners, and all proposed signing. 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: This project is similar to other commercial buildings in the vicinity, specifically the retail buildings in the Shopping Center Zone District. Sign and pump spanner lighting are Staff's chief concerns relating to 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 intention of the Neighborhood Commercial District is to provide sites for commercial facilities and services for the principle benefit of residents of the community and also to highway -oriented convenience commercial needs. Staff feels that the Diamond Shamrock proposal fits in nicely with the intent of the NC zone District. The Avon Comprehensive Plan's Urban Design Plan includes this property in Subarea 4 "Town Gateway". It is critical that properties within this Subarea are developed in a manner which crea+es an attractive appearance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this final design review application with the following conditions: 1). Written authorization be must provided from the owner of Lot 2, regarding the intended improvements and use of said Lot. 2).

The approved materials were tongue and groove cedar siding (stained with a natural color weather seal), cedar trim and fascia (stained cedar tan) and stucco (polar white). A #2 medium cedar shake was -pproved for the roof. The applicants are now proposing a change trom the cedar shake shingle to an asphalt shingle. They are proposing the Timberline Ultra in a charcoal blend color. This product has a weight of 420 lbs per square and a 40 year warranty. A sample of the proposed material will be presented at the meeting. STAFF COMMENTS At the October 1, 1991 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting the Commission adopted a new policy regarding acceptable roofing products in the Wildridge Subdivision. Specifically, the Ccmmission determined that asphalt shingles will be considered an acceptable roofing material in the Wildridge Subdivision depending on their compatibility with the particular building(s) upon which they are proposed to be installed. The Commission decided that requests for the use of asphalt shingles on a buiiding would be reviewed for compliance with the following minimum stanJards: 1. Weight - 300 lbs per square (minimum). 2. Texture - Appropriate relief and shadow effect. 3. Color - Darker earthtone c-icrs with appropriate color variation and pattern. With thes.a minimum standards in place the Commission went on to consider three requests for changes trom previously approved roofing materials to asphalt shingles. The Timberline Ultra shingle on Jan Livergood's stick built home and the 300 lb per square (minimum) Tamko .hingle on a manufactured unit fourplex being built by P chard Wahl and Tad Degen.

The proposed modifications are as follows: 1. All existing timber (8x8) retain -,ng walls are to be replaced with poured in place concrete wails. A form liner system similar to the one used on the railroad bridge (cracked fin) is being considered. Color will be a concrete gray or gray similar to the railroad bridge. 2. The porte'cochere entries at both east and west sides of the main lobby will be reconfigured to read as a "squared off" form as opposed to the triangular existing forms. Vertical support will be a battered stone wall standard. Stone veneer to be angular field stone, drystacked in a rainbow mix over reinforced concrete structural walls. 3. The buildings main entry way will be redesigned introducing curved forms above and below the existing concrete spandrel. The spandrel will be penetrated with a back lighted canvas awning (in a matching curvalinear form). Awning will cantilever over two painted steel posts to terminate at the curb line (to be revised with the street improvement program). Awning may carry some project signage. The newly formed entry will be backdropped with a stone veneered curtain wall matching the form and surface of the stone work on the porte'cocheres. Existing landscaping will be relocated in front of the stone curtain wall. 4.
