PZC Packet 091890STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 18, 1990 Lot 23/75 (Tract B) Community Shopping Center Donna BE.skins, Common Thread Tony Jordan, Nautres Providers Linda Scofield, Cajun Boiler 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".

STAFF COMMENTS a variance is warranted due in the Comprehensive Sign signs, the limited time the Avon Sign Code and the They request permission to until their more permanent 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.

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.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 18, 1990 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.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 18, 1990 Lot 2, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision Al Connell Four Unit Re idential Complex Final Design Review 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.

S -AFF COMMENTS The Commiss-on 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 proposal is in conformance with the Town of Avon Zoning requirements. The application does lack certain design review elements as further described below. 6.12 - The suitability of the improvement, including STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 18, 1990 Page 2 of 4 Lot 2, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision Al Connell Four Unit Residential Complex Final Design Review 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 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. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 18, 1990 Page 3 of 4 Lot 2, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision Al Connell Four Unit Residential Complex 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. 01 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 18, 1990 Page 4 of 4 Lot 2, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision j Al Connell i Four Unit Residentail Complex i Final Design Review i i RECOMMENDED ACTION i 1.

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. M 40 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION September 18, 1990 Page 2 of 3 Lot 38, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Ackerman Residence 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.
