PZC Packet 031991STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Lot 23, Block 2, Wildridge Michael and Tonya Warmenhoven Single Family Residence Final Design Review INTRODUCTION Michael and Tonya Warmenhoven are proposing to construct a single family residence on Lot 23, Block 2, wildridge Subdivision. Lot 23 is .79 of an acre (34,412 square feet) in size and the building coverage is approximately 2,100 square feet for a building area ratio of 6%. The floor area of the building is approximately 3,100 squa-e feet for a ratio of 9%. Nearly 13% of the lot area. or approximately 4,500 square feet is covered with imperv+ous materials. The maximum building height is 34 feet from finished grade to the highest ridgeline. A landscape plan indicating plant species and size has been provided. The applicant is proposing hand irrigation to all plant materials. The building is a two story, with basement, wood frame building with a gable roof. Exterior building materials include horizontal and diagonal 8" shiplap cedar siding and cedar shingles. Exposed foundation walls will be painted to match the siding. The driveway will be at least 15' wide and include a 6" aggragate base to be followed by a topping of 3" of asphalt. The applicant would like to delay the asphalt paving for one year to allow for proper compaction. Color and material samples will be presented at the meeting. The residence received conceptual design review on February 19, 1991. the Design Review Board offered the following comments: - Rock retaining wall should be added to the east side of the driveway and house in order to reduce the amount of grading shown on the site plan. - The applicant should add interest to the windows, especially the east elevation. 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. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 2 of 4 Lot 23, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Michael and Tonya Warmenhoven Single Family Residence Final Design Review COMMENT: This proposal is in conformance with the A.jn Zoning Coda and other applicable rules and regulations of Town. The driveway/road intersection will be shown in greater detail and in compliance with Town standards at the time of building permit application. 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 building and landscaping materials are suitable with Town guildelines. The site itself has already been determir:;d to be suitable for building at the time of subdivision review and approval. 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, however, it appears that some regrading and boulder retaining will be within the 100' Holy Cross Electric Association easement. A letter of review and approval of this encroachment must be provided from Holy Cross prior to the issuance of a building permit. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. COMMENT: The prorerty slopes toward the west at approximately 20%. The house has been designed to step down in the direction of the lot's natural slope. The garage has been incorporated into the lowest level of the house. Boulder retaining walls ar- proposed along the east side of the house and driveway in order to reduce overlot grading. 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. COMMENT: The appearance of this residence from neighboring properties and public ways seems acceptable. The applicant has eliminated one window from the west elevation and two from the east elevation in an attempt to respond to STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 3 of 4 Lot 23, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Michael and Tonya Warmenhoven Single Family Residence Final Design Review the Design Review Boards conceptual review comments. The addition of some evergreen trees on the lot would improve its appearance as viewed from neighboring properties. 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: St?ff 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 general conformance with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs of the Town of Avon.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Marino Construction 14 Unit Residential Project Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing INTRODUCTION Mark Donaldson, on behalf of Marino Construction, Inc., is requesting approval of a Fractionalized Project on Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. A request for Final Design Review approval has also been submitted in conjunction with this project. The lot currently has eight (8) units (Beacon Hill Condominiums) and ten (10) undeveloped Residential Development Rights on it. If approved, this fractionalization will result in the creation of fourteen (14) dwelling units from the ten (10) remaining development rights. CHRONOLOGY January 29, 1979 Final Subdivision plat of Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Amendment No. 5 was signed, thereby creating the 1.5 acre Lot 70, where no lot had previously existed. September 25, 1979 The 0.2169 acre (9,450 sq. ft.) Lot 70-A was officially split off from Lot 70. January 21. 1981 The Beacon Hill Condo project (18 units) received DRB approval, however, the approval lapsed and became void after two years. May 12, 1983 The project received DRB approval again with the only change being a switch from metal to cedar shake roofing. June/July 1983 A Building permit was issued and the condominium plat was signed for phase I (8 units) of the project. 1984 Serious soil, foundation and slab settlement occurs. Phases II and III are postponed. The right to development the remaining ten units on Phases II & III are later sold. January 15, 1991 Avon Planning and Zoning Commission reviews conceptual drawings of fractionalization project on lot 70. January 28, 1991 Marino Construction, Inc. submits application for final design review and fractionalization approval for 16 unit residential project. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 2 of 6 Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Marino Construction 14 Unit Residential Project Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing March 5. 1991 Planning and Zoning Commission continues the Fractionalization and Design Review applications until March 19, 1991, in order to allow the applicant time to make revisions to the project as discussed at the meeting (density reduction, site plan revisions, etc.) The proposed project consists of two buildings containing six and eight dwelling units respectively. The proposed eightplex building will house 4 two bedroom units and 4 three bedroom units. The sixplex building will house 4 two bedroom units and two three bedroom units. The two bedroom units are 799 square feet in size (1/2 of a development. right each) and the three bedroom un.ts are 1,157 square feet (3/4 of a development right). The residential portion of the buildings is located on the upper three levels with one car garages, a mechanical room and some storage space located on the lower level. All of the units include a gas fireplace. The Planning and Zoning Commission acts on fractionalization requests in conjunction with Final Design Review. A public hearing is held on each request for fractionalization of development rights. The Planning and Zoning Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to mitigate impacts related to proposed fractionalization. STAFF COMMENTS The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors in addition to the :asign Review Guidelines listed in Section 6.00 of the Design Procedures, Rules and Regulations for the Planning and Zoning Commission of the Town of Avon when reviewing a project involving the fractionalization of residential development rights: 1. The adequacy of access to the site with respect to the width of the adjacent streets, their grades, intersection safety, visibility and entrance into the lot to be developed. COMMENT: At first glance, access to the site appears to be adequate. The applicant intends to use the same road system and driveway currently serving Beacon Hill STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 3 of 6 Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Mark Dona dson for Marino Construction 14 Unit Residential Project Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing Condominiums. The problem, however, lies in the fact that when the right to develop phases II and III was sold no provision was made to allow for the shared use of the phase I access aisle. At the present time the only legal means of access to phases II and III is by way of a 30' wide access easement located on the far eastern side of the property. The applicant is currently negotiating with the Beacon Hill Homeowners Association to resolve this access issue and in order to expedite the review and approval, the Beacon Hill Home Owners Association has provided a letter agreeing in principle to access as shown on the site plan. The applicant has agreed that no building permit will be issued for this project until the final access agreement has been signed. The circulation and parking areas on the site are very tight. The reduction in density (2 units) has resulted in both a reduction in the number of required parking spaces (32 to 28) and an increase in guest parking spaces --3 -to 14). Th; revision improves the circulation and parking situation on the lot considerably. 2. The need for, and availability of public or private transportation to serve the proposed development; COMMENT: Access to public transportation is a desirable goal for all portions of the Town of Avon. The character cf this project, however, will not necessitate the construction of new public or private transportation facilities. 3. The impact of the proposed project upon public and private services and facilities serving the area; COMMENT: There does not appear to be any definable negative impact to public or private services that are a result of this fractionalization request. The applicant is proposing to improve the drainage and treatment facilities on the site by removing and repaving the existing driveway. In addition, the applicant has proposed to repaint some of the existing facilities and to upgrade site landscaping. The Avon Fire Chief has requested that the applicant install a new fire hydran-c near the entrance to this project in order to assure the appropriate level of fire protection. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 4 of 6 Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Marino Construction 14 Unit Residential Project Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing The applicant has provided a letter agreeing to this request. 4. The compatibility of the proposed unit sizes and unit mix with existing and potential development in the vicinity; COMMENT: Architectually, the proposed project appears to be compatible with the existing Beacon Hill Condominium project. The applicants intend to use a similar architectual style (recessed deck/patios, metal deck railings, exterior covered stairways, etc.) and building materials as the existing 8 units (with the exception of the addition of stucco). Six of the 14 proposed units will be similar in size to the existing Beacon Hill units which range from 1,230 sq. ft. to 1,295 sq. ft. The three Snowrun Townhouse units on Lot 43 are approximately 1,900 sq. ft. and the three A -Y Townhouse units on Lot 44 are approximately 2,020 sq. ft. in size. Lot 70-A is approved for a duplex building and if the proposed rezoning of Lot 42 is approved (IC to RMD), four units may eventually be placed on the property. Existing and approved unit sizes along Nottingham Road fall into the following unit size ranges: Unit Sizes # of Units 450 sq.ft.---- 1,000 sq -ft- 36 1,001 sq.ft.---- 2,000 sq. ft. 42 2,001 sq.ft.---- and up 27 The average density of the lots along Nottingham Road is one dwelling unit per 5,200 square feet of lot area, which equates to 8.3 units per acre. The RMD zone district states that average density should not axceed 7.5 units per acre. The density of each lot is determined by dividing the size of the lot by the existing or approved number of dwelling units. Lot 70 is already the most dense lot in the area at one dwelling unit per 3,170 square feet of lot area (1.31 acres / 18 units), which equates to 13 units per acre. This fractionalization request, as submitted, would increase the density of lot 70 to one dwelling unit per 2,600 square feet of lot area, or 17 units per acre. Fractionalization was developed as a tool to allow diversity of unit sizes through STAFF f JRT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 1 1991 Page 5 1 6 Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Mark Donaldson for Marino Construction, Inc. 14 Unit Residential Project Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Nearing an increase in density. Staff realizes that any fractionalized project, by its nature, will have a relative density greater than existing non -fractionalized projects. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this fractionalization request conditioned upon the receipt and review of the final access agreement between Marino Construction Inc. and the Beacon Hill Homeowners Association.

Lot 70 is 1.312 acres (57,151 square feet) in size and currently has 8 dwelling units on the property (Beacon Hill Condominiums). The building coverage of the new units is approximately 9,860 square feet. By adding this figure to the building coverage of the 8 existing units (8,440 sq. ft.) the total bu-,lding coverage on the lot will be 18,300 sq. ft. for a building area ratio of 32%. The floor area of the new buildings is approximately 13,322 square feet. By adding this figure to the floor area of the 8 existing units (10,050 sq. ft.) the total floor area on the lot will be 23,372 sq. ft. for a floor area ratio of 41%. Nearly 56% of the lot area, or app,-oximately 32,000 square feet is covered with impervious materials. The maximum building height is 45 feet from finished grade to the highest ridgeline. A landscape plan indicating plant specie and size has been provided. The proposed plans indicate that an automatic drip irrigation system will be installed as per the soils engineers recommendation ( located at least 10 feet from foundation walls). The building is a three story, with basement, wood frame building with gable roofs. Exterior building materials include redwood siding, stucco, cedar shingles, aluminum glad windows and metal deck railings. The buildings will include recessed soffit lighting and spherical pendant lights. The proposed foundation system will utilize auger driven piers in lieu of conventional spread footings. A massing model of the proposed project has been provided by the applicant The applicant will discuss proposed colors and materials at the meeting. At the Design Review Board meeting of March 5, 1991, this application was tabled in order to allow the applicant time to provide new information in response to the Board's concerns, which included: - Wing walls at entry level should be widened to provide a stronger visual element.

STAFF COMMENTS The Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of a proposed project: 6.11 - The conformance with the Zoning rode 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 regulations of the Town. Staff's previous concern with access to the project has been resolved with the receipt of a letter from the Beacon Hill Condo Association authorizing access in principle and Marino Construction's agreement that no building permit will be issued for the project until the final access agreement is signed. 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 landscaping materials are suitable with Town STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 3 of 5 Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek MF:rk Donaldson for Marino Construction, Inc. 14 Unit Residential Project Final Design Review guidelines. It would appear that the density redaction has improved the parking and circulation situation on the lot. 6" x 6" treated timbers have been added around all entry planters (6"high). The Avon Town Engineer has the following concerns: - Appropriate erosion control should be shown for areas of concentrated runoff on steep slopes. - Plans should include minimum ditch sections for swales north of neva buildings in accordance with drainage study. - Underground detention tanks would seem to be very difficult to clean and maintain as proposed. 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. COMMENT: Architecturally, the proposed project appears to be compatible with the existing Beacon Hili Condominium project. The applicants intend to use a similar architectural style (recessed deck/patios, metal deck railings, exterior covered stairways, etc.) and building materials as the existing 8 units (with the exception of the addition of stucco). It would appear that the reduction in density from the last meeting will improve the compatibility of this project with the existing Beacon Hill Condominiums in terms of parking/access aisle circulation. The applicant has provided a letter to the Town accepting responsibility for any future maintenance, damage or liability resulting from the proposed regrading on Town property which is north of this project. Also, the applicant has relocated the plant materials previously located within the lot 70-A access easement. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography. COMMENT: The property slopes toward the south, s i!thwest at approximately 25-35%. The lowest level of the STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 4 of 5 Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Mark Donaldson for Marino Construction, Inc. 14 Unit Residential Project Final Design Review buildings have been designed to be partially below grade in order to minimize site disturbance. As mentioned previously, in order to eliminate the need for retaining walls, along their rear property line, the applicants are proposing to regrade Town property to the north. 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. COMMENT: The appearance of this residence from neighboring properties and public ways seems acceptable. The units will be located north of, and be partially screened by the existing Beacon Hill Condominium project. Adequate landscape clusters have been provided throughtout the property. The wingwalls at the entry level have been widened to provide a stronger visual element. 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. In fact, if the applicant improves the poor drainage conditions that currently exist on the property, as they have stated, physical conditions will actually be improved. 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 general conformance with adopted Goals, Policies and Programs of the Town of Avon. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of this design review application with the following conditions: 1. No building permit will be issued until the access agreement between Marino Construction, Inc, and the Beacon Hill Homeowners Association has been submitted to the Town.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Greg Kraft Wildflower Condominiums Final Design Review INTRODICTION Mark Donaldson, on behalf of Greg Kraft, is proposing to construct a fourplex building (Wildflower Condominiums) on Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision. Lot 18 is .71 of an acre (30,928 square feet) in size and the building coverage is approximately 2,750 square feet for a building area ratio of approximately 9%. The floor area of the building is 3,600 square feet (900 sq. ft. per unit) for a ratio of 11%. Nearly 1/4 of the lot area, or approximately 7,700 square feet, is covered with impervious materials. The maximum building height is 35 feet from finished grade to the highest ridgeline. The residential portion of the buildings is located on the 2nd and 3rd levels with 5 parking garages and some storage areas located on the first floor. The building contains a common meeting room (2nd floor) and mechanical room (3rd floor). Each unit contains a gas fireplace. A landscape plan indicating plant species and size has been provided. The irrigation system as indicated on the plans will be underground and automatic. Project signing is located on the east elevation of the building (2' x9'). No information has been provided regarding proposed color, materials, lighting, etc. of this sign. The building is a three story wood frame building with a gable roof. Exterior building materials include wood siding (1" x 6" T & G smooth cedar), cedar shingles, clad windows and round metal deck railings. Twelve parking spaces are provided on the lot (10 required) including five garages. Outside parking and access areas will be covered with asphalt. Color and material samples of all building materials will be presented at the meeting. On September 2, 1986, the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission granted final design review and fractionalization approval, with conditions, to the Wildflower Condominium project (8 units). On Novenber 17, 1986, after revision of the plan to satisfy the approval conditions, a building permit was issued for Phase I (one (1) four unit building) of the project. Due to lack of progress on the building, tha previously approved building permit, design review and fractionalization approvals expired. In November, 1990, the unfinished/abandoned portion of the building was demolished and the site was restored to its natural condition. On December 18, 1990, new fractionalization and design review STAFF REPORT TO March 19, 1991 Page 2 of 5 THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Greg Kraft Wildflower Condominiums Final Design Review applications were denied by the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the proposed unit size and mix of the project was not compatible with existing and potential development in the vicinity. Greg Kraft appealed the denial to the Avon Town Council, who, on February 12, 1991 „ upheld the Planning and Zoning Commission decision. On March 5, 1991, this final design review application was received (4 units). The proposed development is nearly identical to that originally approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 1986. The following changes have been made: 1. Reduction in density from 8 to 4 units, and associated grading, landscaping and hardscape amendments, and building relocation (15' to the west). 2. An increase in the floor area of the units from 800 to 900 square feet (a result of the enclosure of the first floor patios and second floor decks). 3. 'ihe new plans show that the windows on the south and west walls of the third story "mechanical room" have been deleted. 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 Town. 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 building and landscaping materials are consistent with Town standards for multi -unit residential structures. The additions of STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Page 3 of 5 Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Greg Kraft Wildflower Condominiums Final Design Review landscape materials along the north line would be mutually beneficial to residents and surrounding property owners. 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 -esidential property. The design of the building does not appear to adversely effect the distribution of light and air of adjacent properties. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposeG improvement with site topography. COMMENT: The property slopes toward the southwest at approximately 6%. The lower (garage and storag,:) portion of the building has been designed to be partially below finished grade. All grading will be contained within lot lines. 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent vnd neighboring properties and public ways. COMMENT: The appearance of this building from neighboring properties and public ways seems acceptable. The proposed improvement does not inhibit principal views nor block the solar exposure of adjacent and neighboring properties. It appears that the proposed landscaping will hav3 an acceptable visual appearance as viewed from surrounding areas. 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: The mass of the proposed building appears to be consistent with the two and three story structures or: adjacent properties. Unit size and mix is also consistent. 6.17 - The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs of the Town of Avon.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 19, 1991 Lot 23, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Todd and Linda Miller Single Family Residence Conceptual Design Review INTRODUCTION Todd and Linda Miller have requested conceptual design review of a single family home on Lot 23, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision. Lot 23 is .46 of an acre (20,038 square feet) and is located on Saddle Ridge Loop. The floor area of the building is approximately 2,50 square feet and will include a garage below the ,vain level. The building is approximately 35' from finished grade to the top of the ridgeline. The building is proposed to be a two story, with basement, wood frame building with gable roofs. Building materials include cedar siding, stucco and wood decks. Despite being informed of the Design Review Board's previous meetings regarding roofing materials in Wildridge, the applicant is requesting approval of a metal roof on his building. The applicant would like to delay the asphalt paving of the driveway for one year to allow for proper compaction. Although still at the conceptual stage the house appears to meet all applicable Town of Avon design criteria with the exception that the 15' culvert does not meet Avon's driveway standard criteria.
