FINAL DESIGN REVIEWS
Lot 72. Block I. Wildridae Subdivision, Brofos Residence. Final Design Review
Mary Holden stated that this will be two levels and stand approximately 25' in height. The
building and plant materials are called out in the report. She stated that their main comments
are the slope of the driveway, also a construction fence be placed on the south property line
due to the grading that will go up to that property line She stated that this does meet the
design review criteria and Staff recommends approval with the conditions outlined in the
t eport.
Guy Parker, representing the applicant, responded to some of the comments made by the
Commission at the previous meeting, stating that the driveway slope is about 9.5%. He
stated that in order to fit within the setbacks on that slope on that lot and meet the 8%
criteria is quite difficult. The current slope is about as good as they are going to get without
radical fill. He stated that there ?s a relatively flat area from the garage, about 25 feet from
the garage. With moving the building to conform with the front setback the driveway is now
about 15 feet wider at that point and should provide a lot better maneuvering.
He stated that the north elevation windows placement is quite deliberate. There is a

stairwell there and the central window conforms to the height off of the stairwell landing and
he does not feel it is awkward. As far as the garage door goes, with the cedar siding, it will
be lighter than the color sample He understands that the irrigation system is a recommended
practice, but the owner are doing everything they can to save money, and if it is not an
absolute requirement they would like to not install one at this time Regarding; the cut and fill
situation, they are very close to a balanced cut and fill, with approximately 100 yards of fill
needing to be imported He stated that he is not sure what the concern regarding the roof
pitch is Chairman Hunn asked if it was a 4 12 or less The applicant stated it is a 4 12 He
stated that they did add some landscaping and specified the trees by height rather than caliper
Buz Reynolds asked if the fascia lines are 1 x 6 or I x 8 The applicant stated that the fascia
is rough sawn 2 x 8 Reynolds stated that he did not have anv other concerns and he thinks
the project will look nice
Patti Dixon stated that she thinks everything has been met except for the irrigation system
and the east elevation, which she thinks some interest should be added The applicant stated
that that elevation will be tucked to the inside of the hill and it is close to the side of the road
bank which is quite steep there, and it is a side of the house which is going to be little seen by
someone driving by. There is no way to add windows because of the entryway closet They
cotrid possibly add a window to the left to the garage, but the owners didn't really want a
second window there
Henry Fest stated that he likes the house. but the window spacing on the north elevation , he
is surprised that they couldn't move the one window The applicant stated that he did make a
congruent spacing and it actually appeared somewhat face like and the owners didn't like that
Vest stated that the owners have lived in Wildridge and have been concerned landscapers. So
he has no problem with the lack of an irrigation system
Bill Sargis stated that he thinks the house is fine and he has no problems
Rhoda Schneiderman asked what kind of finish would be on the stucco The applicant stated
that it will be a hand trowel texture It will not be a sand texture Rhoda Schneiderman
asked about the matter of only four trees She does not think that is enough The applicant
stated that the owners are planning to do more in the future, but they don't wart to do more
than the can afford at the moment Schneiderman asked if the owners are aware of the
watering; is strictions The applicant stated they were

Sue Railton stated that she thinks if they are willing to do more over the .years, as they see
what grows well, but it certainly needs more trees there Four spruce are not nearly enough
around a building like that The applicant stated that he could commit to the addition of
another six trees
Jack Hunn stated that it would be better to resolve it tonight, rather than try_ to remember a
year from now that they will have to come up with some more trees
The applicant stated that if the main concern is to break up the building. then he would go for
firm 2" caliper or six 2" caliper aspens to be added to the landscape plan Mary Holden
stated that aspens don't really do much to break up a building The applicant may want to
look at low maintenance, low water shrubs that would grow up to about four or five feet in
height, placed in close proximity to the building Discussion followed on what could be
considered
Rhoda Schneiderman moved to grant final design review approval with the following
conditions
I The flues, !lashings and vents be painted to match the color scheme of the building
'_ The building lighting be approved by Staff prior to issuance of a building permit
3 Revegetation include native bushes
4 'Meters be placed on the building
5 The first 20' of the driveway must maintain a maximum 40 o slope and Itro for the
rest of the driveway
6 Prior to any site disturbance, a construction fence he placed along the south property
line of the site
7 All engineering concerns be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit
S A revised landscape plan he brought back at a future date with the addition of trees or
tall shrubs
Henry Vest seconded and the motion carried unanimously

Lot 43, Block 3. Wildridge Subdivision. Bober Residence Final Design Review
Mary Holder. stated thst this will be three levels and stand 32' in height Building and plant
materials are called out in the report She stated that slopes may not exceed 2 I, landscape
plan must meet the Town of Avon minimum standards, and they must satisfy any engineering
concerns during the building permit process She stated that this project does meet the
design review criteria and staff recommends approval with the conditions listed in the report
Buz Reynolds stated that, for the record. Mr Bober is his next door neighbor and he did do
his soils test for him, bw did not collect any funds
Mr Bober stated that the house is a little bit after the Frank Lloyd Wright style He stated it
may be a little uncommon to the area, but it still has applications to the mountain area lie
stated, in response to the previous Commission comments. the overhangs are three foot,
primarily to shield the house, since most of the windows are facing the east, south and the
west. He stated that the deck railing will be rough sawn cedar Regarding the use of
flagstone and vucco, he stated that nrimarily it is to briny some of the native materials to the
house He stated that the reason that the north elevation is blank is that whole east wing is
the master suite..and the north side is the closets, the shower and the toilet, and they did not
feel the need to put windows there Regarding the backing and turning areas for cars, The
location, of the drive is underneath the house and the reason it is down there is because the
design of the house, to get a three car garage at the first level created problems design wise
with the roof and the house lie thinks there is plenty room ro back the car out and
maneuver back up to the driveway Regarding the banding around the house, it is to create a
base of the house He stated that the landscaping is something that you i% ill add to each year
He has indicated four spruces, eight aspen, eight spirea and three mugho pine to start with
Ile stated that he also does not want to obstruct the views, as that was the purpose of buving
that particular lot Regarding the 2 1 slope, he thought he had covered that Lie stated that it
is about the flattest lot in Wildridge
Sue Railton stated that as long as he beefs up the landscaping it will be alright
Rhoda Schneiderman stated she thinks the house will be elegant She thinks that maybe they
need more shrubs She would like to see the landscape plan come back and have everything
shown on it
Bill Sargis stated that he thinks the house is very different for Wildridge, but he thinks it is a
very spectacular home He likes the colors a lot and thinks the house is fine

described how it will be done
Patti Dixon stated that she thinks the house will be nice far the Wildridge area, even though it
is not a mountain style She thinks the north side is fine the way it is.
Buz Reynolds stated that he likes th^ home He thinks the three foot overhangs will create a
nice shadow effect He asked if the stones would he the snap -ins The applicant stated that
they would be Reynolds stated that he thinks that the landscaping will be fine
Jack Hunn stated that he thinks this will be a nice addition to Wildridge His only concern is
the quality of the asphalt roofing material. The applicant stated it would be a three tab, three
dimensional shingle The sample was only for the color Hunn stated that he agrees that the
house would benefit from a little more detailing in the landscaping, net necessarily more
trees, but more shrubs, more variety, particularly in the area between the home and the road
Ile would like to seethe landscape plan and the real roofing comeback Hunn asked what
the width of the driveway was The applicant stated that it is 12 and 1/2 feet of asphalt, 14-
1/2 feet overall

l,ot 24. Block 2. Wildridge Subdivision, Canton/Ray Duplex, Final Design Review
Mary Holden stated that the Commission has seen this before. It will be, two levels and will
stand approximately 30-1/2 feet in height. The building and plant materials are in the report.
and they have not changed from the last submittal. She stated that the connection has been
changed or added to A construction fence should be placed on the site prior to disturbance
due to the grading frow. lot line to lot line. There is still a potential for snow shedding.
Holden stated that should the Commission approve this application, Staff recommends the
conditions outlined in the Staff,eport
Sue Humm, representing Mike Ray and Bruce Canton, stated that regarding the architectural
connection, they have added a roof enclosure The roof will have the same pitch as the other
ones. It will cover both entries, however there will be a separation once you get back in
behind there. One has the flight of stairs going up underneath the roof and the other one
enters off about two feet above the parking level. Both will be enclosed, therefore the snow
would not shed right on the doorstep. They have brought the two buildings closer together
.and reduced the asphalt area She stated that there will be three narrow leaf cottonwoods
and eight quaking aspens and the rest is ground cover, deciduous shrubs and evergreen
shrubs. She stated that they have revised some of the windows and she described what was
done, however, she moved away from the microphone and her comments are not clear She
also stated that they have raised the roof on one unit which will help in the linear look of the
roofs they have moved the buildings closer together. By bringing one of the buildings
further up on the lot, they were able to reduce the amount of grading in back of the units and
also reduced some of the height of the concrete retaining walls in the back.
Buz Reynolds stated that he likes what they have done
Patti Dixon stated that she thinks it is. n improvement. She asked about the dotted in
windows on the northeast elevation. Ms. Humm stated that it is if some buyer wanted to add
a loft up there
Henry Vest stated that the roof certainly helps the connection a lot
Bill Sargis asked how much they raised the roof up The applicant stated just enough to
squeeze the entry of Unit A on the southeast elevation underneath it Sargis stated that be
agrees that it is a much better connection.

Rhoda icitneiderman stated that she had no problem previously and she has no problem now.
S;+e Radwri asked how the stairway went She stated that she doesn't think it is pleasing
architecturally in the overall design of the thing It looks like an afterthought unfortunately
Jack il:::a commended the applicant on addressing all the Commission's concerns He stated
that he thinks that the connection probably works from a technical standpoint. but
architecturally it does look a little forced He stated that the one conzern he has is that as
,• ou view it from the southwest you will see daylight between the soffit of the main roof and
the ridge and it is going to look tacked on and if they could consider integrating the two
roofs so the ridge actually does pop out of the main roof d.t would be a more successful detail
Further discussion followed Discussion followed on the planting around the entrances Sue
Railton stated that something is needed Discussion followed on planters being added
Rhoda Schneiderman moved to grant final design review approval with the following
conditions

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REVIEW
Lot 37. Block I. Wildridue Subdivision. Shearwood Duplex Conceptual Desi¢n Re Liew
Mary Holden stated that this would be two levels and stand approximately 29-1/24 in height.
No landscape plan has been submitted. The Wilding materials have been called out in the
staff report. The basic standard comments are in IS report and since this is a conceptual
review, Staff has no recommendation
Scott Shearwood stated that they do have a site plan which reflects some of the grading
concerns and some of the landscaping. He has plans in excess of twenty large trees
throughout the property, around the duplex itself consitning of a crabapple, three to four inch
caliper, narrow leaf cottonwoods, Colorado spruce as well as blue spruce. They are looking
at an average as they come off of Longspur of 4 to 5% off of the first twenty to thirty feet
and then as it approaches the building it does level r•at to almost level The snow storage will
beat the west end of the driveway. There will be a gas f replace The exterior building lights
are mounted at the front door and at the comers of the deck and the switches are censored
The roof will be a dark brown rather than the light beige showp on the rendering. It Viii be a
Presidential three tab style asphalt shingle. Disturbed soits will be revegetated with a
mountain mix natural grass,
Sue Railton stated that she likes the way the house hugs into the hill. She stated that she
would like to see some sort of landscaping island between the two sets of garages Also,
there should be really good landscaping on the other side of the asphalt since that is where
the living room windows face Also, landscaping nicely up those banks by the stairs.
Rhoda Schneiderman stated in general it is a nice design. She asked what kind of fireplaces
The applicant stated gas.
Bill Sargis stated that he thinks there is a lot of character to the design He asked what the
garage doors would be The applicant stated that they would be a wood grained panel door
Also they are adding a bit more stucco to the structure It is more in tune with what goes on
in the side elevations and the back elevation There will be approximately four foot of stucco
with a built out band. The reason is that he does not like to run the siding all the way to the
ground
Henry Vest stated that he thinks it is a great looking house He likes the roof forms He
asked if there would be a gutter over the hip that comes over the east unit The applicant
stated that actually that has been eliminated He pointed out how the ridgeline continues, so

that they won't have to worry about drainage His comments are not clear, as he is away
from the microphone and a train is passing at the same time.
Patti Dixon stated that she had no comments.
Buz Reynolds stated that when this comes back for final the landscaping needs to help this
project especially in between the two units, not like the last project the applicant has done
where there is no landscaping in the back
Jack Hunn stated that he thinks the house lits the site well and he likes the way you are
transitioning the materials, He stated that he is a little bit concerned with the image of the
four garage doors lined up like that He realizes that two of them are set back, but he asked
the applicant to try to disguise that a bit by having one of them being one larger door, etc.
He stated that the east unit seems to be a lot less exciting in terms of capturing that view
The west unit has a high arched window, a lot more volume and he suggested that they pop a
minor dormer out of the hip to get the living room view up a bit so that it is more comparable
to the other side without going to a full gable and a mirror image. The applicant stated he
originally did have one side with the two eight foot doors and one with the sixteen, but the
clients have requested that they have the two separate doors, they did not want the one large
one. The reasoning for the smaller doors boils down to some structural engineering. There
is a bearing header in that floor system and in trying to avoid an oversized header with the
height that we have in the basement it was much easier to do a post system, rather than
having to engineer an oversized header to accommodate the floor load. Jack Hunn
suggested, since the east unit is stepped back, to get some balcony element to project toward
the south that would partially cover and put two of those doors in shadow Hunn stated that
it looks like a good deal of the roof is contributing to a drip over both entry doors The
applicant stated that they will probably gutt--r that area
Chairman Hunn stated that it sounds like the Commission is pretty supportive of this project
and they look forward to seeing it again in the near future As a conceptual review, no action
is taken at this time
Chairman Hunn asked is a representative from Valley Wide had shown up Mary Holden
stated they had not shown up yet Hunn then called for approval of the minutes.

OTHER BUSINESS
Wildridge Covenants
Mary Holden stated that Town Council has deferred to the Planning and Zoning Commission
the Wildridge Restrictive Covenants to be approved in Ordinance form. to codify and make
that the PUD Zone District's standards As it stands now Wildridge does not have any zone
district standards other than what is on the Wildridge Plat Map That, hopefully, will be
coming to the Commission at the next meeting They have to check posting schedules, etc
and it will be a public hearing The Commission will review it and make comments and then
send it back to Town Council Discussion followed on the guidelines and the restrictive
covenants Rhoda Schneiderman asked what happens when the guidelines come into direct
conflict with what has been approved and is being approved on a regular basis fop the Town
of Avon and for Wildridge. Mary Holden stated that they would have to comply with
whatever is the final form of this ordinance Buz Reynolds stated that it doesn't make sense
to make people who come in in the future, saying now you have to meet this criteria Ile
stated it will take some time to do this Mary Holden stated that it will be treated as a Town
initiated zone change, basically It is more of a PUD development standards
Discussion followed on what is contained in the covenants Hunn stated that he thinks that
the Commission should get their copies in advance of the meeting and even have a
worksession so that the Commission is up to speed before the public hearing
Mary Holden stated that she could get copies to the Commission this week Hunn stated that
what he understands from Bill James and John Dunn is that thev don't want to modify the
ordinance significantly Otherwise, it constitutes changing the covenants which :akes
approval of 75% of all property owners up thele
Height Interpretation Discussion
Mary Holden stated that Bob Kaufmann and Michael Waste and his partner would like to talk
to the Commission about building height and how it is interpreted She stated that this
cannot be site specific This in concept only, they cannot refer to a specific site or plan

Height Interpretation Discussion cont
She described the house shown on the steep slope guidelines, showing it stepping with the,
site. She pointed out how it would meet the 35' requirement frorn the side, but not from the
rear elevation. Holden stated that the definition of the building height is from existing or
finished, whichever is more restrictive, 'o the highest point of the ridgeline. Considerable
discussion followed on how this could happen
Bob Kaufmann described how he understood it should be figured. He described how Maty
has been figuring the height
Bob Kaufmann stated that his ioYP wrEt:.tiuii is ihat you take a vertical line from the ridge and
drop ii straight down and where that crosses existing grade or proposed grade is where the
height is taken He stated that what Staff is doing is that they are not going straight down,
they are going out horizontally and out horizontally and measuring that distance and he does
not think that it is a fair way of doing it, Norm Wood stated that they have been figuring
height according to the definition in the code which is as follows: "Building height means the
distance measured vertically from the existing grade or finished grade (ei:hichrver is more
restrictive) at any given point to the top of a flat roof or mansard roof or to the highest
ridgeline of a sloping roof " The rest of Norm Wood's comments are not clear because
Rhoda Schneiderman interrupted with comments of her own at the same time. Mary Holden
stated that this was they way that they have been doing it since Steve came and they have
been doing it on all four elevations, so that all four elevations meet the thirty five foot height
Jack Hunn stated that basically if your slope is moving at an angle you draw a parallel line 35
feet above the slope and as long as the high portions of the building are within that it used to
be considered within the height limit Considerable discussion followed on this matter,
rvwever, all Commission members were speaking at the same time, therefore, not one
sti tement is clear
Ja:k Hunn stated that it isn't that Mary and Norm are nworrect, because they are interpreting
the ck.Ae... Sue Railton stated that every town has a different way of interpreting it Hunn
stated that they have wrestled with this for years and in the Nylman era they drew the parallel
plane and allowed things to fit within that and within Steve's era he went a different way
Hunn stated that what the Commission needs to consider is whether this interpretation
stimulates more creative architectural solutions or whether Mary's version would stimulate
creative solutions Bob Kaufmann stated that the vertical version would work better Mary
Holden stated that if that is the way they are to interpret it great, they will get a lot of high
backs of buildings that are going to exi eed the thirty five foot limit Considerable discussion
followed

Height InteMrretat:on Discussion (cont)
Mary Holden asked if what she is hearing is that on steep slopes we will only measure side
elevations with a 35 foot plane' Mary Holden stated that they way that she has been
measuring, every house that has come through. they have met the 35 foot height limit on all
four elevations Hunn asked if there had been any problems or complaints Mary Holden
replied no.
Bill Sargis stated that either the Commission either choose to measure it one way or the other
way, and the one way on a steep slope is too restrictive and kills creative architecture, etc.
Mary Holden stated that she needs direction from the Commission of how they want the
height figured More discussion followed
Jack Hunn stated that if they interpret it in the less restrictive point that doesn't mean that
they have to approve a shear flat building wall three stories high without any interest
Mary Holden stated that these people are waiting on the Commission's decision of how they
want the height interpreted before they come for final design review, and ifthat is the way
vau want it interpreted then that is how she will do it It does not directly coincide with the
zoning code definition Several Commission members spoke at the same time saying that it
does. depending on how you choose to interpret it
Mary Holden staied that this interpretation is kicking back to the Commission and from now
on all she will do is start marking points on the elevations She will measure it, scale it and
mark it and let the Commission decide, because at any given point she is going with the most
restrictive, which is exceeding the 35 foot limit
Jack Hunn stated that what they need to have her do is carefully interpret the existing grade,
because that is usually the most restrictive Hunn stated that if they do go with this version,
essentially you draw out the existing grade line and yov parallel that and see if the building
fits within that envelope on two elevations because the grade can change from one end of the
building to the other He stated that he guessed he would question whether their
interpretation matters here In the past Statl'has come to the Commission and said this is
how we do it and this is what we recommend Ile thinks this has been a good discussion, but
he questions whether the Commission is the final authority on how this will be done He feels
that they need to be consistent
Nunn asked how many plans Holden had checked since she has been here Holden stated
probably over a hundred Hunn stated that he is impressed that, with the exception of one or
two. all of them fit based upon the more restrictive interpretation

Hei. IntetTDretation Discussion cont
Rhoda Schneiderman stated that during the discussion of the steep slope guidelines they
discussed how to interpret the height and they came to the conclusion that they were doing
the parallel lines down from the slope of the hill on the side elevations Mary Holden stated
that she never got that clarification. Several Commission members decided to try to make
their comments heard at the same time and therefore. nothing is clear.
Discussion followed on the steep slope guidelines. Mary Holden stated that height is not
addressed in the steep slope guidelines, and she will include whatever the Commission
decides to do regarding the interpretation of how to figure huildinu height
Mary Holden stated that if that is how they are to do it, great, that is all she needed to know
She asked if it was for steep slopes or for everyone. The Commission members replied for
everyone Mary Holden stated so it will be taken from the two side elevations The reply
was yes. Hunn slated that they are looking for interesting architectural solutions
MODIFICATIONS
Lot 12, Block 1. Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Valley Wide, Modifications
Since no representative was present, Chairman Ilunn asked what is their request Mary
Holden stated that their request is for approval of a different paint color and a change in the
form of the canopy over the door
Discussion followed on what the original approval was and what they are asking for
Chairman Munn stated that, in the absence of an applicant, why doesn't the Commission
consider making a decision on this The general consensus of the Commission was that they
liked the originally approved colors and canopy Chairman Hunn stated that the Commission
made a lot of concessions in approving the building in the beginning and the color was very
important and the other detailing was important and the entry was discussed in detail
Buz Reynolds moved to deny the request for the modifications for Lot 12, Block I,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, which means it has to be built according to
approved plans, including the paint color and the entry element and all other aspects of the
originally approved plans Rh da Schneiderman seconded and the motion carried with
Henry Vest voting nay

Discussion followed on a landscaping plant guidelines which indicates the number of trees
that are a minimum for a single family home, duplex, triplex, etc , for Eagle Vail Buz
Reynolds stated that he thinks it is unfair to use a guideline made for Eagle Vail that has a
water system that can take care of those trees Wildridge is on a hill side and trying to pump
the water up Mary Holden stated that a Town of Avon sial member will be pulling together
a zeroscape plant list that wi!l require minimal water and will do well in Wildridge This is
