Temporary Business Sign Variance
INTRODUCTION
Donna Baskins (owner of Common Thread), Tony Jordan (owner of
Natures Providers) and Linda Schofield (owner of Cajun
Boiler) are requesting a variance from that portion of the
Avon Sign Code governing temporary signs for their businesses
located cn Tract B Community Shopping Center.
The applicants have indicated that due to the significant
cost of complying with the comprehensive sign program for the
Community Shopping Center, they cannot afford to pay for
their permanent business signs all at once, but rather must
pay in installments. The sign companies contracted to build
the permanent signs for these businesses (Shaw Sign Co. and
Willow Creek Signs) will not install the signs until all
payments are made in full.
Section 15.28.080 (sign allowance) of the Avon Sign Code
provides the following information regarding temporary signs:
1. One temporary sign, with a maximum area of
thirty-five square feet, is allowed to remain in place for
not more than one week for any one event;
2. Temporary signs may be displayed for only one
event in any thirty -day period;
3. The sign administrator may issue a permit for a
temporary sign meeting these criteria without planning and
zoning commission review.
4. Temporary signs not meeting these criteria may
be approved by the planning and zoning commission only upon a
determination by the planning and zoning commission that a
variance should be granted pursuant to Section 15.28.090 (B)
of the Avon Sign Code.
The Comprehensive Sign Program for the Community Shopping
Center includes the following wording for temporary signs:
"No banners will be permitted without the express
written consent of Landlord, and then only on a temporary
basis".

When granting a variance the following criteria should be
taken into consideration:
A. The relationship of the requested variance to
existing and potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
COMMENT: The temporary banners are all red and
white in color and are similar in size to the permanent signs
on the building. The maximum sign area for permanent signs
is 30 square feet. The approximate sizes of the proposed
temporary signs are as follows:
Common Thread 2' x 10' = 20 sq. ft.
Natures Providers 1.5' x 6' = 9 sq. ft.
Cajun Boiler 3' x 6' = 18 sq. ft.
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 Avon sign Code allows temporary signs
to be up for only one week. Although Natures Providers feels
that their permanent sign will be up within two weeks, Common
Thread and Cajun Boiler think that it may be a month or more
before their sign company will deliver their signs. They
would like permission to keep their temporary signs up until
the permanent signs arrive.
C. Such other factors and criteria as the
Commission deems appl^cable to the requested variance.
COMMENT: Staff has no further comment.

Temporary Business Sign Variance
FINDINGS REQUIRE.I: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall
make the following findings before Granting a variance:
A. That the granting of the iriance 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;
ii. There are exceptional or
extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to `he
site of the variance that do not apply generally to of er
properties in the vicinity;
iii. The strict or literal interpretation
and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the
applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in r.'ie vicinity.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
It wDuld appear that the strict provisions of the sign code
would result in a practical difficulty and unnecessary
hardship for these particular tenants. The wording in the
Comprehensive Sign Program for the Community Shopping Center
building is too vague as it relates to the Governing of
temporary signs. Staff recommendation is for approval with
the following conditions.
1. The Comprehensive Sign Program for the building
should be amended (by the owner) to include allowances for
temporary signs with specific time and quality criteria.
2. The Natures Providers and Cajun Boiler banners
must be attached mare securely to the building.

Lot 52, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Franklin Residence
Final Design Review
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Matt Franklin, is requesting final design
review for a single family home on a duplex lot in Wildridge.
Mr. Franklin's plans include construction of the second unit
at some future date. This project received a favorable
conceptional review in August. The architectural detailing
is now complete, and there are few minor architectural
changes to the building.
The house is a steeply pitched gable roof form with cedar
shiplap siding accented by heavy trim pieces around doors and
windows. Stucco is used sparingly as an accent material.
The roof material will be a machine cut wooden shingle.
Colors will be presented at the meeting.
Habitable area includes approximately 2600 square feet with a
570 square foot 2 car garage. The building, at its most
extreme point, measures 38 feet from grade to ridgeline,
however, utilizing the Town of Avon averaging method the
building falls well within height requirements of 35 feet.
The site plan includes an asphalt drive with adequate parking
and a landscape and irrigation plan for revegetation of the
lot. A wooden retaining wall is shown in the side setback
and utility easement. Letters of approval will be required
of the utility companies.
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: The Zoning Code states that setbacks shall "be
unobstructed from the ground upward". The retaining wall in
the west side setback appears to violate this provision.
More information on the wall height should be provided.
6.12 - The suitability of the improvement, including
type and c,uality of materials of which it is to be
constructed and the site upon which it is to be located.

Seibert Residence
Final Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Tony Seibert is requesting final design review approval for a
single family residence, with a caretaker unit on a duplex
lot. The lot will share a driveway with the duplex on the
adjacent lot. This driveway will also serve as an access
easement to the Metcalf Ditch divers,�n structure, which is
located on the southern portion of the lot. The driveway
entrance allows berming and landscaping to partially screen
the parking and garage area.
Landscaping with automatic irrigation is detailed on the site
plan.
The rear of this lot contains the Metcalf Ditch diversion
structure. This structure provides raw water to the
downstream water plant. The applicant has shown extensive
landscaping and deck improvements within this easement.
Staff feels that no improvements should be reviewed or
approved without permission of the owner of the diversion
structure.
The building itself :onsists of a gable roof form with
dormers, and exposed truss forms. The siding material is
board and batten with a metal capped stone base. The roof
material is cedar shingles. The building height is well
within the 35 foot height limit.
The second unit is located a'�ove the garage.
STAFF COMMENTS

INTRODUCTION
Al Connell is proposing to construct a four unit residential
complex (two duplex buildings) on Lot 2, Block 5, Wildridge
Subdivision. Lot 2 is .96 of an acre (41,818 square feet)
and the combined building footprints of the two buildings is
approximately 3,670 square feet for a building area ratio of
9%. The combined floor area of the buildings is
approximately 6,800 square feet for a floor area ratio of
16%. The maximum building height is 31 feet from finished
grade to the highest ridge.
The buildings are setback approximately 80 feet from West
Wildridge Road on the west and approximately 55 feet from
West Wildridge Road to the east.
A landscape plan indicating plant species and a revegetation
plan for all disturbed areas is included with the submittal.
Landscape materials are proposed to be manually watered.
The proposed buildings are two story wood frame buildings
with gable roofs. Exterior materials include wood siding
(T -i-11) and masonite shingles (Woodruff). The wood siding
will be stained with Devoe ST 69 "Stonehedge"
semi -transparent stain. The color used for the trim will be
Benjamin Moore S/F 826. The applicant would like to leave
the driveway and parking areas gravel for a period of up to
one year to allow for compaction, then cover .t with 4" of
asphalt.
S -AFF COMMENTS
The Commiss-on shall consider the following items in

COMMENT: The type and quality of the proposed building
and landscape materials are in conformance with Town
guidelines. Proposed colors will be discussed at the
meeting.
6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize
site impacts to adjacent properties.
COMMENT: The siting and landscaping of the buildings
is sympathetic to the adjacent residential property. The
buildings are sited in the most logical building area of the
lot.
6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with
site topography.
COMMENT: The property slopes toward the west/southwest
at an average of 35%. There is a fairly level bench area on
the property which would accommodate the proposed buildings.
Approximately 1/2 of the basement level will be below
finished grade.
6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed
improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
COMMENT: Insufficient information has been provided to
adequately determine visual impacts of the development for
the following reasons:
- The landscape plan does not provide the size or
quantity of landscape materials.
- The gradings and drainage plan is not accurately
drawn. Cross sections through the lot, buildings and
driveway should be provided. The grading plan does not
appear to match the elevation drawings very well.
- Insufficient retaining wall detail has been provided
(12' high gabian rock wall). All walls over 4' high must be
structurally designed.

Final Design Review
- No trash or snow storage areas are shown on either
site plan.
- No windows or landscape materials have been provided
along the south sides of the buildings.
- Design guidelines suggest that "overhangs, where they
occur, shall be at least one and one-half feet" (1' overhangs
currently shown).
- Design guidelines discourage mirror image duplexes.
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,
however the applicant should consider adding some stucco to
the buildings which is fairly typical in the Wildridge area.
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 RECOMMENDATION
The proposed project would appear to be acceptable for this
particular lot. Staff, however, feels that several changes
need to be made to the plans before final approval is
granted. Staff would recommend that the Planning and Zoning
Commission review this project and provide the applicant with
a detailed list of information necessary to receive final
approval at the October 2, 1990, Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
September 18, 1990
Lot 38, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision
Ackerman Residence
Subdivision Sketch Plan
The applicant wishes to ultimately subdivide Lot 38, Block 2,
Wildridge Subdivision into two separate lots and rezone these
lots to single family. Lot 38 is currently zoned duplex and
is assigned two (2) development rights. The lot is 35,283
square feet (.81 acres) and the topography is relatively
gentle. The lot has street frontage in excess of 150 feet.
The purpose of a sketch plan hearing is to evaluate
feasibility and design characteristics at an early stage of
planning.
CRITERIA
The subdivision regulations identify three criteria to be
utilized in the review of a sketch plan proposal.
A. Conformance with the Master Flan, Policies,
Guidelines, Zoning and other applicable regulations.
STAFF COMMENT: The following statement from the
Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan is appropriate to this issue:
Goal C-1: Provide for an appropriate
mix of residential dwelling
unit types for both permanent
residents and tourists.
There are currently 267 duplex lots in Wildridge and 9 single
family lots. Four of the single family lots are quite large
(3/4 acre +) but are very steep and difficult to develop.
The remaining five lots range in size from .32 acre (13,939
sq. ft.) to .56 acre (24,393 sq. ft.). These lots are out
along Beaver Creek Point and are very developable.
While the current real estate market seems to be creating
interest in the single family type of development, neither
the Comprehensive Plan or other Avon regulations provide much
insight into this issue. There are no guidelines for minimum
lot size for any of our zoning categories.
The property is zoned for duplex and posseses two developmert
rights. A rezoning to single family, and a re -allocation cf
the development rights will be necessary as a concurrent
application at the final plat stage.

Subdivision Sketch Plan
There is no requirement for extension of any municipal
services.
B. Suitability of the land for Subdivision.
STAFF COMMENT: The existing lot is relatively
large and the topography is gent'e. The proposed lots would
be .3617 acre (15,755 sq. ft.) and .4530 acre (19,732 sq.
ft.) respectively. Each lot contains an adequate building
site for a single family home. All of the lots immediately
surrounding Lot 38 are zoned duplex.
C. Reports and studies of significant hazards,
areas or activities of local interest.
STAFF COMMENT: As this proposal lies within a
previously subdivided area this criteria is not applicable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council
should review this proposal carefully. This decision
certainly has the potential to set a precedent for the
remaining 266 duplex lots in Wildridge. Single family homes
are a very desirable form of ownership in the current real
estate market. The Town of Avon definition of a duplex
restricts the ability to separate two units on a duplex lot.
Lot 38 certainly appears large enougri and possesses the
developable area to accommodate two single family homes.
The staff recommendation is to approve this request based
upon lot size and the development potential. An added
recommendation is to develop minimum lot size and buildable
area criteria to ensure that future requests are physically
capable of handling the required level of development.
