PZC Minutes 080189RECUkb OF PROCEEDINGS MINUTES OF PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING AUGUST 1, 1989 The regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was held on August 1, 1989, at 7:30 PM in the Town Council Chambers of the Town of Avon Municipal Complex, 400 Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Frank Doll. Members Present: Frank Doll, John Perkins, Jack Hunn, Buz Reynolds. Denise Hill, Terri Jeppson Staff Present: Norm Wood, Director of Communitv Development; Jim Lamont, Acting Planner; Charlette Pascuzzi, Recording Secretary Norm Wood stated that a request had been received from John Dunham that two of the units be allowed to be increased from 800 sq. ft. to 1000 sq. ft. without an additional development right. Wood stated that this request is not in conformance with the zoning code. He stated that Mr. Dunham has indicated that they wou'd like to withdraw the request. He then asked Mr. Dunham to address the Commission. John Dunham provided copies of the floor plans for the Commission members' information. He stated that they plan to break ground on the 7th. They had wanted to enlarge two units to 1000 sq. ft., but found that this was not cost effec'�ive, therefore, they are withdrawing the request. He stated that when a new set of plans had been presented to them, it was discovered that the square footages exceeded the allowable 800 square footage. The storage units had been included in the figuring of the units and should not have been. They recomputed everything and they found that six of the units are under 800 sq. ft. and two of them are over. What they are asking now, so that they do not have to go back to FHA, which takes seven weeks, is to get the top unit or 822 sc. ft. approved. Units 1 and 2 measure 783 sq ft., Units 5 and 6 measurers 790 sq. ft., Units 3 and 4 measure 783 sq. ft. and Units 7 and 8 measure 822 sq. ft. They are asking to keep the plan as is, since the total square footage of the 0" Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes August 1, 1989 Page _ of 6 Lot 8, Block1� Benchmark at_Beaver Creek. Request for Unit Increase Without Develoament Rights Scontl building is less Glan 8 times 800 sq. ft. Mr. Dunham stated that the average middle income family residence in the County of Eagle and two other competitive counties is 960 sq. ft., therefore the 800 sq. ft. is quite small. They are asking to continue with the project as is and not have to go back through FHA. He felt that they have complied with the intent of the zoning. Doll asked for comments from the Staff. Norm Wood stated that the fractionalization provisions that were adopted in the zonl„g code are very specific in the size ranges and development rights that are required. There is a procedure for transfering additional development rights into the site. The sizes of some of the other units could be adjusted to less than G00 sq. ft. to get it back into conformance. The code is very specific in numbers. The numbers for the units proposed and presented at the public hearing process was from 601 through 800 sq. ft. That uses 1/2 of a development right. The next size up starts at 801 sq. ft. and goes up to 1200 sq. ft. and uses 3/4 of a development right. Between the two buildings it will take one full development right for the additional size. Fractionalization provisions have very specific size ranges, it does not average them out, 1t specifically states that a certain range requires this much development right. There is no averaging on the tctal square footage. Wood stated that he came up with approi.imately 886 sq. ft. for the two units, rather than 822, but he hasn't verified those figures. Wood stated that from a Staff recommendation, the Commission has nothing to consider. As far as the request goes, 'it should be a transfer of a development right, through the special review process. He stated that he didn't know wnat action could be taken rather than a denial and be in any way in conformance with the zoninn code. Considerable discussion rollowed, suggesting that the tw- units be adjusted by moving a wall at the storage area. Dunham stated that if they change the plans in any way they will have to go back through FHA. Discussion followed on the applicant obtaining another development right. It was the general consensus of the Commission that the applicant should obtain a development right and go through the special review use procedure. The Commission members felt that they must follow the zoning code requirements. Planning and Zoning August 1, 1989 Page 3 of 6 Commission `eeting Minutes Lot 8 Block 1.

Jim Lamont stated that the Christie Lodge owners Association has applied for conceptual design review for a swimming pool and enclosure. The enclosure will feature a removable roof and side curtains. rhe proposed pool ano enclosure wouid be located in the northwest corner of the Christie Loage site near the intersection or Avory Road and I-70. He stated a variance has been granted for the pool enclosure to encroach into setbacks along Avon Road and i-70. Schematic drawings showing the proposed layout and the enclosing structure have been submitted. Lamont stated that the applicant requests approval of the pool location so that excavation for the pool and relocation of utility lines can commence. Lamont stated that request for approval of the pool enclosure is subject to submission of final design documents. John Perkins, representing Christie Lodge, stated that he is requesting final approval to build the swimming pool only. He stated that it would not effect the building or the enclosure at this time. He stated that he proposes to come back in two weeks with the final details on the building, enclosure and probably the fence. He stated that he wanted to discuss some changes that are in the works regarding the fencing and the enclosure. The site plan locates the pool and the concrete apron. It shows the proposed grading, wh ch is subject to a drainage conference between Norm Wood and Jeff Spanel. The applicant would like to get busy with moving the electrical line around the perimeter of the pool. At present it cuts diagonally across where they want to put the pool. Discussion followed on how close the pool is to the existing structure. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes August 1, 1989 Page 4 of 6 Lot 25. Block Benchmark at Beaver Creek Christie Lod-7c.e Swimming Pool Enclosure. Conceptual_ Design Review.__(cont) Perkins stated it is 24.5 ft to the edge of the pool. He stated that he would like conceptual approval on the overall project, but final approval on the pool. Perkins stated that there is 96,570 sq. ft. of building coverage now, and 138,000 is allowed. On the open space there is existing open space of 77,043 sq ft and the required is 69,140. With the building of the bath house, which is 759 sq. ft. there would still be an overage of open space of 7,144 sq. ft. Perkins stated that they are going to drop the idea or a retractable canvas awning. The reasoning is that structurally it required too messy a system of trusses to cover the snow load. There will be spandrel beams and over that will be a permanent grid system that the canvas cover will be laced to. The cover would be removed at the beginning of summer and replaced at the beginning of winter. They feel that this is a better solution for a cover. It will be a fiber -glass backed canvas material that has a 75 pound snow load. Perkins stated that the fencing issue has become a bit complicated. He stated that they had talked with the Town about them possibly participating in constructing a fence that signage could be attached to. He stated that the Town is not ready at this time to make that decision. The proposal will probably be that the existing fences remain as they are and the required fencing for the safety or the pool area would run between the columns that carry the spandrel system. It would be a welded railing type steel fence that would be just around the immediate concrete apron area. Discussion followed on the possibility of the Town participating in the future. Discussion also followed on the irrigation on the right--of-way. Discussion followed on the proposed additional landscaping around the pool. Perkins stated that they probably will continue with the use of aspens up the hill. Also discussed was possible future landscaping of the right-of-ways. Further discussion followed or. the proposed fencing and the curtains for the sides of the enclosure. Perkins stated that you will not see any ropes or ti -e -off locations. Perkins stated that he will be providing samples of the fencing and canvas at the next meeting. Hunn asked to have stakes put out so that the Commission ION Planning and Zoning August 1, 1989 Page 5 of 6 Commission Meeting Minutes Lot 25_. Block 2. Benchmark at Beaver Creek_ _ Christle_Lodge Swimmjn_q_Pool Enclosure lcont. could see how it will impact the intersection. Reynolds stated that he is skeptical about giving a partial approval for the pool without further information, when the structure will be right at the beginning of the town. Perkins asked if he had to have approval from this board to move the electrical? Wood stated he did not. Perkins stated that that was the primary focus, so maybe the board doesn't need to act on this tonight. Doll stated he would entertain a motion to table this matter until the next meeting. Hill moved to table the Lot 25, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, Christie Lodge Pool Enclosure until the next meeting. Jeppson seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Perkins returned as a voting member of the Commission. Lots 65/66. Block 2,_ Benchma_rk_at Beaver_Creeky The Annex 131gnL Program Lamont stated that there are two different elements to the sign program, there are two freestanding signs, one located on the south and one located on the northeast. Lamont voiced concern about the use of the high density foam core and the durability of it. The size of the signs is similar to the Shopping Center signs. The signs on the building are pan -channel, white plexi -glass, roughly 18 sq. tt. Lamont stated that the number of signs are unknown as it is not known how many bays will be rented. They are providing for individuality in the sense that the lettering can be individualized, so a logo, etc. can be used. Landscaping has been indicated on the original site plan. He stated that there is now sufficient information to warrant this a valid sign program. Perkins moved to appr(ve the Annex sign program as presented. Hunn seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
