PZC Packet 121890'-%� #',i STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DECEMBER 18, 1990 Lot 5, Wildridge Acres Subdivision Steve Riden for Bob Kedrowski Dubois Single Family Residence Final Design Review Continued From December 4, 1990 INTRODUCTION At the Design Review Board meeting of December 4,1990, this application was continued until December 18, 1990, in order to allow the applicant time to provide additional information. The following items were discussed at the November 20, 1990 meeting: - The proposed landscape plan was not considered complete enough for final design review approval. A more detailed plan is required which reflects a more formal landscape treatment around the houses, tapering off to a more natural appearance away from the house. Native grass seed should be used to revegetate the disturbed areas instead of kentuc:ky bluegrass (outside of sodded area). Top soil should be brought into all sites. The addition of large rocks was suggested, especially along the west side of this house. - The roof form should be changed to prevant snow and water from shedding on the entryway and possibly garage entrance. The addition of a hip roof should be considered. - The applicant should consider introducing more siding and less stucco, or vice versa, to make the residences look different from the others, rather than just using the roof forms to make the difference. - A change in the direction of the siding was suggested. - The use of semi -transparent stains is preferable to solid body stains. Revised plans have been submitted for review, and it appears that the applicant has adequately addressed the concerns raised by the Design Review Board at their November 20, 1990, meeting.

The following items were discussed at the November 20, 1990 meeting: - There were concerns about the shedding of snow and water onto the entryway. It was suggested that the entry would benefit from the addition of a gable roof form. - The two doors which access the 2nd floor deck, as seen on the south elevation, should be brought together, lowever, if the owner really wants the doors to be separated, then the windows above them should be combined. - The applicant should present a comprehensive color scheme for the entire subdivision. All colors to be used in the subdivision (stucco, siding, trim, etc.) should be reviewed and approved at the next meeting. - The Commission felt that a smaller scale overall site plan showing all building roof lines, should be presented at the next meeting.

The Commission's approval was granted with the following conditions: 1. Revisions to the driveway to the middle unit as specified. 2. The chimney details lowered to the ground and moved off of the corner. 3. The landscaping be excluded from this approval and to be brought back. 4. Woodruff shingles to be used. 5. All the above revisions to be brought back prior to issuance of building permit. On August 21, 1990, the following action was taken regarding this application: "The commission granted approval of the presented driveway plan; stated that the trash enclosure must remain in the original location; accepted the relocation of the chimneys; and stated that the final approval of the landscaping be tabled, subject to the submittal of a detailed plan designed by a landscape architect; that the tabling would not delay the issuance of a building permit; that final approval of the landscape plan be in place before a temporary certificate of occupancy will be issuec." A new landscape plan has been submitted for review. This plan was prepared by Richard Matthews and Assoc. Staff offers the following comments regarding the new landscape plan. 1.1 The plan itself appears to be suitable for this project. (species type, location, size, etc.), however, all planting materials north of the driveway have been removed, with the exception of grass/sage mix. 2. The applicant is not proposing an automatic irrigation system. 3.

A request for Final Design Review approval has also been submitted in conjunction with this project. The lot currently has four (4) Residential Development Rights assigned to it. If approved, this fractionalization will result in the creation of eight (8) dwelling units on the property. On September 2, 1986, the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission granted final design review and fractionalization approval, with conditions, to the Wildflower Condominium project. On November 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, the previously approved building permit, design review and fractionalization approvals have expired. In November, 1990, the unfinished/abandoned portion of the building was demolished and the site was restored to its natural condition. The proposed development is nearly identical to that originally approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 1986. The new plans show that the windows on the south and west walls of the third story "mechanical room" have been deleted. The proposed project consists of two buildings, each containing four two bedroom units. All units are 799 square feet in size (1/2 of a development right each) and are layed out in two different floor plans. 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. Each building contains a common meeting room (2nd floor) and mechanical room (3rd floor). Each unit contains 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 REPORT December 18, Page 2 of 4 TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 1990 Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Greg Kraft Wildflower Condominiums Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing STAFF COMMENTS The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors in addition to the Design 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: Access to the site appears to be adequate to serve eight units. The driveway will be required to meet Town of Avon driveway/entrance standards. 2. The need for, and availability of public or private transportation to serve the proposed development; COMMENT: Public transportation is a desirable goal for all potions of the Town of Avon. The character of this project, however, will not necessitate the construction of 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 impact to public or private services that are a result of this fractionalization request. 4. The compatibility of the proposed unit sizes and unit mix with existing and potential development in the vicinity; COMMENT: The proposed project appears to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. This project was originally found to be compatible with the surrounding area in 1986. The two bedroom units would serve to address some of the needs identified in the recent Housing Needs Assessment completed by the Eagle County Affordable Housing Task Force. a STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION December 18, 1990 Page 3 of 4 Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Mark Donaldson for Greg Kraft Wildflower Condominiums Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is for approval. The lot is situated in a multi -family neighborhood and the unit mix is appropriate to both the site and the community. The recent Housing Needs Assessment identified the need for an additional 800 units within the valley. These units will make a positive contribution to ':he community, while the scale of the proposal eliminates any negative impacts. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Introduce Application 2.

Lot 18 is .71 of an acre (30,928 square feet) in size and the combined buildings coverage is approximately 4,400 square feet for a building area ratio of approximately 14%. The combined floor area of the buildings is 3,392 square feet for a ratio of 11%. Nearly 1/2 of the lot area, or approximately 15,000 square feet is covered with impervious materials. The maximum building height is 35 feet from finished grade to the highest ridgeline. A landscape plan indicating plant species and size has been provided. The irrigation system as indicated on the Flans will be underground and automatic. Project signing is located on the east elevation of the building (2' x 9').

The approved sign program for the building limits the tenant identification signs to 20 square feet. Individual letters (6" to 18" high) are to be mounted on a painted (white) steel mesh backing. The individual letters must be cast aluminum with a baked enamel finish. The letters must be the same color as the corresponding tower color (blue or green). The painted steel mesh backing is to be located in the building tower openings. Store #5 (Domino's space) may split their 20 square feet of sign allowance between the two available frontages (north and east). All signs are to be indirectly illuminated by the existing suspended spot lights. The proposed Domino's sign(s) would be an internally lit metal box sign with a plexiglass face. Sign colors are proposed to be black, white, red and blue. Although the applicant has provided several alternatives for identifying their business, their preference is for a 2'X 8' Domino's Pizza sign and a 3'X 3' Domino's Pizza logo (25 square feet). These signs would be located in the northern most tower opening. Section 15.26.080 (O,1) of the Avon Sign Code states " Sign programs shall be compatible with the site and building, and should provide for a similarity of types, sizes, styles, and materials for signs within a projact." All three of the applicants proposed sign alternatives differ from the approved sign program in type, size, style, materials and color. The following variance procedure must be followed for reviewing a variance request as per Section 15.28.090. 2. APPROVAL CRITERIA: Before acting on a variance request, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors: ^.N 01 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION December 18, 1990 Page 2 of 4 Lot 69, Block 2, Benchmark At Beaver Creek Mike Trujillo for Domino's Pizza Sign Variance and Design Review A. The relationship of the requested variance to existing and potential uses and structures in the vicinity. COMMENT: Other than the proposed location, the applicants proposed signing bears no relationship to the existing or potential signs on the building. If approved, aesthetic values may be impaired since the design theme for the sign program will not being carried out. The prop::oed metal box signs do not seem to relate very well with the strong architectural form of the building. In addition, the back side of the boxes would be highly visible to people viewing the building from the east. B. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity. COMMENT: The degree to which the applicant has requested relief from the strict provisions of the sign program appears to be excessive in order to relieve their perceived hardship. The Domino's Pizza brochure indicates that it is possible for franchisees to order blue individual letters. Since the sign program for the building allows the letters to be up to 1.5 feet high they should be easily visible from East Beaver Creek Blvd. C. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the requested variance. COMMENT: Staff has no further comment. 3. FINDINGS REQUIRED: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: A. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity. B. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: i. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title; STAFF REPORT December 18, Page 3 of 4 Lot 69, Block Mike Trujillo Sign Variance extraordinary site of the properties in TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 1990 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek for Domino's Pizza and Design Review ii.
