YES The applicant has requested Conceptual Design Review to assist in the development of Final Design Plans. The submittal is for a 43,000 sq ft recreation/aquatics center to be located on Tract G. The P&Z reviewed the Conceptual Design on December 14th and due to the length of the presentation and limited time, this item was continued to this meeting in order to consolidate the issues and concerns of the Commission into a memo to the Town Manager and Council. STAFF COMMENTS: At the December 14th meeting, P&Z reviewed the: schematic design for this project. A summary of your initial comments are listed as:foilows: • Building forms and flat roof plan add little visual interest; • Extensive use of brick is not in keeping with area; • Entryway/door way should be focal point, more interesting; • Use of metal elements do not translate well in this mountain environment; • Building needs to be more sensitive to surrounding architecture; • Roof form over pool area could be broken up; • Round roof form and snow shedding could be a problem;. • Massing of building needs to be shown without second phase; • Northeast corner of the building is first viewpoint for motorists, needs more attention; and • Building could be raised slightly for visibility over parking lot, if possible. The main Conceptual Design issues appear to be massing, building materials, elevations, and the entryway. The Town's Design Guidelines should suggest building forms, materials and details. As a continued Conceptual Review, the Staff has no formal recommendation; Re"n--- spectfully Submitted, Steve Amsbaugh Director of Community Development PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DECEMBER 21, 1993 Tract G, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Aquatics/Recreation Center - Concc Aual Design Review Request for Conceptual Design Review for the proposed Town of Avon Aquatics/Recreation Center PLANNING AND ZONING ACTION: Approved as submitted ( ) Approved with recommended conditions ( ) Approved with modified conditions ( ) Continued ( ) Denied ( ) Withdrawn ( ) Conceptual, No Action (✓� Date oZ�/ Sue Railton, SecretaryiA /44� As a conceptual review, no action was taken, however, the Commission did have i a concession stand,tiltoF the lap pool, they felt it should be larger, and the matter of there not being a— liability; the snow buildup on the barrel roofs, gabled roof were suggested; the parking next to the library; the confusing approa_, to the building; the use of brick on the building, stucco, stone and glass were suggested; the use of the metal system being antiquated; the need for the building to u, and --the need for a second entrance.

MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Commission Q , FROM: Steve Amsbaugh, Director of Community Development DATE: December 16, 1993 RE: Comments on Aquatics Facility Schematic Design Following the presentation by the architects on Tuesday, the Town staff met to discuss the current schematic design and would like to provide you with our comments for your consideration. We feel the following design issues should be addressed in your recommendation to the Town Council. A. Town of Avon Design Guidelines The Town's Design Guidelines are specific as to the direction this building should be taking. These key design elements were presented to the designers at an early Council work session. In addition, the architects were given these Guidelines and we feel the current Schematic Design does not presently address many of these Guidelines. On page 6, the general architectural philosophy is reflected in the following statements: The Town should continue to be perceived as a contemporary mountain town, complementary to the natural landscape. From a distance, the Town should appear as a cohesive unit comprised of simple building forms, subdued colors, and predominantly pitched roof lines. The Design philosophy for public and private improvements is int^nded to relate to materials and colors of the Vail Valley. On page 30, Architecture is addressed: Basic principals of regional and contextual sensitivity are considered far more important in their contribution to quality of design than stylistic consistency ....... appropriate to its location in the mountains of Col gado. All sides of buildings should receive equal architectural treatment I is ® Flat roofs are discouraged except for limited roof areas..... sloped roofs should _ have overhangs. Valleys and complex roof forms are a potential source of ice buildup and water damage, and should be used carefully and sparingly. Roof materials within the Town Core may be the following: unglazed concrete tile, wood shingles, copper, standing seam metal, or terne-coated steel. Exterior walls can be broken down in scale through the use of windows, a► doorways, recesses and setbacks. They can be further articulated through the use of different materials, patterns, ornament, texture and color. The following materials are encouraged in the Town Core: Stucco and synthetic stucco, Stone, Heavy Timber, and Concrete. All projects in the Town Core should address the full range of guidelines found in the adopted Design Guidelines. Town staff feels the current schematic design is not consistent with many of these Guidelines. B. Exterior Materials The predominant use of brick as the exterior skin of the building may not be appropriate. No other buildings in the area are brick and an isolated brick building could tend to clash with the existing architecture of the area. There are several colors and textures of brick; therefore, additional detail may show how the use of brick may blend with the area. C. Entryway The current building entry statement could be strengthened. Consideration should be given to a more dramatic entryway which eliminates the flag and chimney stacks as the focal point. Perhaps a stronger vertical element would better define the "town's center" the architects spoke of. The proposed use of stone in this location should be encouraged. D. Main Building Hallway This element should contain a strong fee, ng of openness and light. As an example, perhaps this area should become a tall hallway with clerestory natural lighting to give it an open, sunlit feeling. E. Roof Forms There are no barrel roof forms in the "mountain" architecture vocabulary. Should the architects take a look at a gable roof form which is more closely associated with the Colorado mountains and the Design Guidelines?

YES INTRODUCTION: John Perkins, on behalf of the Town of Avon, has submitted revised plans for the Public Works facility, which was approved at the June 15, 1993 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. This application is a conceptual due to the nature of changes. SITE PLAN CHANGES: The buildin;, artrance is oriented to the west, not the south; The building has four elevations visible, whereas before only one elevation was visible; Driveway is aimed more toward the building with less of a turn; There is less asphalt; and There is one less retaining wall.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT December 21, 1993 Tract N, Wildridge Subdivision • Public Works Facility Conceptual Design Review STAFF COMMENTS: ® The site plan does not show a 100 foot Colorado Ute easement, which cuts across this site south of the building. The Final Design Review plans must reflect the easement. The driveway and area in front of the building are showing gravel. This area needs to be paved. The plans are calling ovt two options for roofing and two options for finish material on the south elevation. Following are the two options for the roof and finish material: Roof: 1. Built up tar and gravel; or 2. Single ply ballasted roof on wood mono trusses at 24" o.c. at 18" in 12' pitch. Finish Material for South Elevation: 1. Stucco on concrete block; or 2. Wood framing.
