Review of Special
Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Review Use
INTRODUCTION
In July of 1989 the Avon Town Council approved Resolution 89-19, a Special
Review Use to allow a residential unit within the Wolff Warehouse. The
purpose of this special review use request was to allow for an on site
management.
Resolution 89-19 contained five (5) conditions of approval, with condition
#3 stating "That this Special Review Use be reviewed the first meeting of
February, 1990".
The purpose of this hearing is to provide that required review. It is the
Staff's understanding that the purpose of the review is to ensure that the
warehouse and managers unit are in compliance with the other four conditions.
Those conditions read as follows:
1. Use of the residential unit be restricted to the employee of the landlord
and no subletting of that apartment is allowed.
2. That young children between the ages of 2 and 10 be prohibited from liv'ng
on site because of the proximity of the traffic and hazards.
3. That this Special Review Use be reviewed the first meeting of February, 1S90.
4. That the employee of the landlord he in fact the on-site manager.
5. That the clean-up of the site begin on or before August 1, 1989, and be
substantially complete prior to September 1, 1989.
STAFF COMMENTS
The Staff is not aware of any violation of the above conditions. There have
been numerous public complaints regarding traffic and parking on-site, and
the Town of Avon has issued a citation for violation of the Zoning Code, however
these problems appear to be tenant related.
It is the Staff understanding that the purpose of this residential unit was to
allow control over on site tenant concerns. While the existence of this unit
has not created any problems, it has not proven to be very effective at
controlling tenant driven problems.

Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Lot 3, Block 3, Benchmark at Beaver Creek is a 1.02 acre
parcel located on the north east corner of Highway 6 and West
Beaver Creek Boulevard. The property is zoned RHDC and
currently has no development rights assigned to it.
The proposal consists of a single two story commercial
building of 5700 square feet. The parking requirement for
the uses shown is 23 spaces, the site plan provides for 39
cars. The building is 32 feet in height, well below the zone
district allowance of 80 feet. The building covers 11% of
the site, the landscaping makes up 25% of the site, meeting
the 25% useable open space- requirement.
Building materials are brick, clapboard siding and stucco
with a cedar shingle roof. A complete color scheme will be
presented at the meeting.
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 proposal is in conformance with the
Town of Avon Zoning requirements.
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
landscape materials are suitable with Town guidelines.
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.
This was a concern during conceptual review, but the design

revisions are much more appropriate to the neighbors.
6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site
topography.
COMMENT: The site is virtually flat and the
proposal works well with this Lopography.
6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as
viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public
ways.
COMMENT: The visual appearance of this structure
has improved significantly from conceptual meetings. The
view from Sunridge has been softened by adding additional
landscaping and by increasing the distance from the building
to the property line.
The view from Highway 6 has been softened by increasing the
width of the landscape buffer between the road and the
parking lot. This view could be enhanced through elimination
of excess parking in the southeast corner.
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.
6.17 - The general conformance of the proposed improvements
with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of
Avon.
COMMENT: The proposal is in general conformance
with adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of
Avon.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMiSSION
March 20, 1990
Lot 38, Block 2, Wiidridge Subdivision
Ackerman Residence
Revised Plan/Additional Unit
Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Un Spotember 19, 1989, the Planning and Zoning Commission
granted final design approval, with conditions, for a single
family residence on Lot 38, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision.
The applicant wishes to revise that approval by separating
the garage from the residence, thereby lowering the building,
and also by adding an additional unit as a separat,�
structure.
The approved design is a two story single family home with an
integrated garage. In order to maintain an 8% driveway grade
a full basement was required below the living level. The
applicant wants to move the garage closer to the street in
order to reduce the foundation heights and maintain a single
story residence.
The proposed second unit is architecturally compatible with
the first, but is not physically connected.
The lot size is .81 acre (35,283 sq. ft.). The building
coverage is 4750 square feet for a building area ratio of
13%. Approximately 50% of the site will be disturbed.
Building heights are within zoning regulations.
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 Town of Avon zoning code defines the
term duplex. This definition requires a common wall between
units. There is some question as to whetter the SPA zone
district in Wildridge specifies duplex zoning.
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 materials are

areas should be identified.
6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site
impacts to adjacent properties.
COMMENT: The Staff has not had the opportunity to
adequately analyze the potentiai impacts to adjacent
properties.
6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site
topography.
COMMENT: The separation of the garage trom the
original residence appears to help the relationship to the
topography. Maintaining driveway grade had been a driving
force in the previous foundation and basement design.
6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as
viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public
ways.
COMMENT: The Staff has not adequatelv analyzed
this criteria.
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.
6.17 - The general conformance of the proposed improvements
with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of
Avon.
COMMENT: Other than resolution of the separation
issue, the proposal is in concert with adopted Goals,
Policies and Programs of the Town of Avon.
