Tract G. Block 2. Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision LibraryFinal Design Review
Mary Holden stated that the location of the library is west of the Seasons and east of the fire station
and south of the proposed rec center, on Tract G. They are proposing a standing seam metal roof,
rough sawn board and batter. and stone veneer. The applicant has provided a material board The
landscape plan and plant list has been included in your packet and since it is substantial she stated she
would not repeat it. She stated that Staff is maintaining that the roof overhang, over the sidewalk,
has to be redesigned. It is not allowed by the code. The drainage plan that they are proposing must
tie into the existing drainage plan The site plan must reflect the mall design that is being proposed.
They are currently working on doing that. Holden stated that this project does meet design review
considerations outlined in the staff report. Staff would recommend approval with the following
conditions
i. The roof overhang be relocated so it does not extend over the sidewalk.
2. Site plan reflect the approved mall plan, and the library site plan tie into that

4. Building lighting be provided for Planning and Zoning Commission approval.
Pam Hopkins stated that they feel the sidewalk has encroached on their building. She stated that
when it was first being discussed it was a road with parking on one side and then they decided to put
parking on both sides. When they talked with Jeff Spanel for locating the building and the road, they
located the building so there was at least six feet of sidewalk where you could walk around. To
solve the problem they are using snow lacks which have a snow load factor of 600 lbs per square
foot. The pitch of roof is only 3/12, so it is a low sloping roof. With the gutter system, the roofing
consultant feels that there should be no problems. Also, the sidewalk is heated. The gutter is ten
inches wide and sixteen inches deep. Discussion followed on the heating system.
John Perkins stated that they have already looked at this building a lot and he thinks that the
Commission is pretty comfortable with the building. He stated that he feels like this detail that has
been presented is probably as good a solution to that problem as you could come up with. He stated
it would be very very difficult to get rid of the roof overhang that is part of the design of the
building.
Buz Reynolds stated that he thinks that they have done a good job. He stated that he can't see this
being any more dangerous than walking into the post office. He stated that he thinks the jacks will
hold the snow on the 3/12 roof and with the melt system on there, but he cautioned that they make
sure that the gutter is extremely reinforced so if it does slide...
Jack Hunn stated that there is not much roof area contributing to the problem and if it did fall its ten
feet. It is more of a nuisance than a hazard. He stated that normally he would tend to support Staffs
position, and particularly where they are setting a precedent, but this is an unusual set of
circumstances where the sidewalk came later and the building was there first. It seems like they
could redesign the sidewalk configuration easier than they could redesign the building at this point.
The only way to solve it would to shrink the meeting room, just back this wing up, which he thinks
woula be detrimental to the project. He would be inclined to recommend that they find a way to
either live with it or reaesign the sidewalk to make it work and leave the building alone This was
the general consensus of the Commission members.
Discussion then followed on the landscaping and the mall plan Sheri Dorwood described the mall
sketch she provided, She stated that the drainage plan is being done by the same engineer that did
the road plan, parking, etc. The lighting will come back to the Commission for approval. The Town

has not decided if it they should be installed at this time If it is it will be the Town's standard
streetscape light fixtures.
Jack Hunn asked if the entire building is guttered. Pam Hopkins stated that it was not, but there is a
four foot overhang. Hunn asked what the finish on the retaining wall would be. Ms. Hopkins stated
that it would be concrete. She stated that it really is not a retaining wall. It is a minimum access,
really an emergency egress as well as a way to get down there. It will be only a foot or two high
Hunn asked about the sidewalk that connects to the fire station. Ms Hopkins stated that this was an
emergency access The fire officials preferred that in an emergency people be taken right to the fire
station parking lot.
Hunn asked if the roof color has been coordinated with the rec center fie asked if it was the same
color. Ms. Hopkins tated that it was not the same color, but she thinks they are rethinking their
color She stated that they had to keep on marching. She stated that she believes that the rec center
color is a sand color Hunn asked how she felt aboltt the two projects having the same color roof
Does she think that is important, to blend some continuity between the two Ms Hopkins stated that
since they are marching on, then they can match the library roof Hunn asked how reflective is the
roof material. Ms, Hopkins stated that they are going to use a non -reflective material
Rhoda Schneiderman moved to grant final design review approval for Tract G, Block 2, Benchmark
at Beaver Creek Subdivision, with the following Staff conditions
The site plan reflect the approved pedestrian mall plan, and the Library site plan tie in with the
pedestrian mall
2 The proposed drainage plan tie in with the existing drainage plan fot the area
3 Building lighting be brought back for Commission approval
Sue Railton seconded and the motion carried unanimously
John Perkins stated that the Commission had received an invitation to the groundbreaking which is
scheduled for April 8, 1994, 4 PM in Nottingham Park
Lot 58. Block 1, Wildridg_e Subdivision. Sindlinger Single..lFamily Residence, Final Design Review
Mary Holden stated that this will be two stories, one being a walkout basement She stated that the
materials are in front of them and will be asphalt shingles and a six inch tongue and groove

They are proposing spruce, aspen, buffalo juniper, tam juniper and a redtwig dogwood. Irrigation is
being proposed for the sodded areas.
Holden stated that the main concern is that the drainage is being shown flowing right into the garage,
She stated that Staff would like to offer the option to raise the top slab up to 8199', that would help
with the drainage. She stated that this application does meet the design review considerations and
Staff would recommend approval with the following conditions:
1. Revegetation include native bushes.
2. Meters be placed on the building.
3. Flues, flashings and vents have a finished surface.
4. Slopes do not exceed 2:1.
S. All retaining walls that are over four feet in height be designed by an engineer
Bruce Sindlinger stated that he had no problem correcting the drainage problem.
Jack Hunn stated that at the last meeting he was concerned about how your siding and transition and
stepped to the site, and he is satisfied with how it has been done. He stated that his only concern is
that on the site plan they have limited the construction disturbed area to a very tight confine around
the building and he is not sure that it is realistic He stated that the applicant may want to add the
flexibility to disturb just a little more of the site. Hunn stated that right now the landscape plan really
focuses on the north side and the entire south side of the garage that probably would be disturbed
and would not be native vegetation when you get done with it might need some landscaping. He
stated that he would encourage the applicant to expand on the landscaping solution a bit for a total
solution around the house rather than focusing on one or two sides
Discussion followed on the windows, and the siding at the ground level and the concrete finish.
Rhoda Schneiderman stated she would like to see a revised landscape plan The proposed plan is not
adequate.
Jack Hunn moved to grant final design approval to Lot 58, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, with the
following conditions.

Rhoda Schneiderman seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Lot 42. Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Eubanks/Hubers Duplex, Final Design Review
Commissioners Railton and Reynolds stepped down as voting members of the Commission due to a
conflict of interest.
Mary Holden stated that even though the report is for approval, they have received some information
that they have studied and it is not going to meet the steep slope guidelines. She stated that they
have put up on the wall a cross section and everything in green will be fill added to the site. She
pointed out that those were the floor elevations being shown, not foundations. They have concerns
that this is not following the steep slope guidelines.
She stated that this is for final design approval for a duplex on Lot 42, which has slopes of 40% plus.
Materials will be asphalt shingles, cedar board and batten, rough sawn cedar and moss rock. The
landscape plan will include spruce, ponderosa pine, russian olive, aspen, currant, serviceberry,
potentilla and rabbitbush. Drip and automatic irrigation systems are being proposed. They are
proposing revegetation of native grasses and wildflower mix.
She stated that the garage and various retaining walls are shown in the front yard setback so a
variance will be needed.
The drainage is also a concern for this site. She stated they are requesting and requiring that
elevations be added to the swails which are located in the front and on the twn ratrh hacinc nn rha
north elevation.

Lot 42. Block 2. Wildrid�e Subdivision. Eubanks/Huber DuQlex Final Desien Review (cont)
Holden stated that another concern is, based on the soils report, the soils report recommends that the
foundation be tied into the bedrock and Staff will require that it be tied into the bedrock. Also, Staff
is requiring that all retaining walls, regardless of their height be structural and that they are designed
by an engineer. This has been added as a condition of approval. She stated that a special foundation
design will be needed for the north side of the structure, west of the east unit porch entry. The
foundation wall has to ride approximately 3-1/2 feet abo �e the floor to prevent drainage going into
the building. Another concern is the sewer connection has not been shown. They would like to see
where the sewer is going to be connecting in and have that utility cut shown through the vegetated
area. In addition to revegetating the sewer cut, the entire site needs to be revegetated with native
brush in addition to the native grasses and wildflowers. Due the steep nature of the site, they will be
requiring erosion control and construction fencing be placed on the site prior to any disturbance
taking place on the site. Driveway material has not been indicated and if it is concrete, Staff will
require an asphalt apron tying into the street.
She stated that this project has met the design review considerations and staff would recommend
approval with the ten conditions listed in the Staff Report,
John Railton stated that the need for the variance was discussed at the last meeting and the
Commission, at that time felt that due to the steepness of the lot the request for the variance was
reasonable and on that basis the variance will come before the Board at the next meeting.
He stated that Inter Mountain Engineering is working with Norm Wood on the catch basins, etc. He
proceeded to point out how the driveway handled the drainage. Discussion followed on the request
about the foundation. Steve Amsbaugh explained why they were requesting it.
Railton stated that the driveway is shown as an asphalt driveway. He stated that there would be a
construction fence.
Hunn asked if, with the ten conditions she has indicated, does this project meet the steep slope
guidelines. Mary Holden stated not to the best. To a certain extent it is sensitive to the site by the
length of it, but based on these cross sections it is a lot of fill Hunn asked if it was within the height
regulation. Holden stated it is. Railton commented on this matter and getting the garage to work,
but he was speaking very softly and his comments are not clear- Discussion followed on how the
building anchors to the slope. Hunn stated that the shrubs on the plant list are all called out as one or
two gallon sizes. He asked if it was possible to get those in five gallon sizes. He also asked about
the colors. Samples were provided. Hunn asked how deep the bedrock is. Railton's reply is not .
clear.

Perkins stated that it is very important that you get good coordination between the soils engineer and
structural engineer on a site like this. He stated that he appreciates some of Staff's concerns and yet
he thinks that they have a good design that makes some sense from many aspects. He also would
support a variance on the north side. Further discussion followed on the cross sections and what was
shown on them. Perkins asked if Railton felt any concern that some of the catch basins drainage
strategies might freeze and you end up with trapping water back behind that house. Railton stated
that if it wasn't maintained that would be a possibility, but that is the house owners responsibility.
Perkins stated overall he thinks it is a good one.
Henry Vest stated that he likes the design. It is really a steep site and this is a good solution. He
asked about the decks and if they are all cantilevered. Railton stated that two of the decks sort of
like recesses into the building and then stick out about three or four feet. He pointed out on the
drawings how the decks would be and where the supports would be. Discussion followed on the
garages and the placement of windows.
Rhoda Schneiderman stated that she was kind of torn because on one hand the linear nature of the
building follows the steep slope guidelines really well, and on the other hand she agrees with staff
that the projections down the hill don't. She stated that the deciding point is that the architecture is
good and it flows. She stated that she didn't have any problems with it.
Hunn stated that there are about ten exterior light fixtures shown and he asked what kind of fixtures
do you have in mind. Railton stated he would bring a sample of the fixture. It sounds like he said it
would be a down light fixture, but his response is not clear. Hunn stated also, that as you discharge
the drainage into the hillside there may be a large volume of water coming out at times and you may
want to place some rocks to dissipate that water so that you don't get erosion. Railton said
something about the swail, but his response is not clear.
Henry Vest moved to approve Lot 42, Block 2, the Eubanks/Fluber duplex, with the following ten
staff recommendations.
1. A drainage plan submitted for a building permit indicating the elevations for the swails, and all
catch basins.
2. The catch basins be sized on the drainage plan.
3. Should the driveway be concrete, an asphalt apron be provided where it ties into the street.
4. An erosion control and construction fence be placed on site prior to any disturbance.

5. Revegetation must include native bushes.
6. !Jl improvements be removed from the front yard setback or a variance applied for and approval
given.
7. Size of plant material must conform to minimum Town standards.
8. All foundations must extend to bedrock, per Soils Report.
9 All retaining walls must be structural and designed by an Engineer prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
10. A special foundation design is required for the area on the north side of the structure, west
of the east unit porch entry, to accommodate the difference between finish grade on the
outside and floor elevation on the inside (approximately 3-1/2' difference).
Rhoda Schneiderman seconded.
Hunn asked if the siding would be a semi -transparent or solid body stain. Railtion replied it would be
a solid body. Hunn stated that one of his concerns would be that the house not be to, bright of a
white color. Discussion followed on the color.
The motion carried unanimously.
Lot 63, Block 1, Wildride Subdivision Guida Duplex Conditions of Approval
Commissioner Reynolds returned as a voting member of the Commission.
Mary Holden stated that on March I, 1994 the Commission approved the Guida Duplex with two
conditions, that lighting and color come back for review
Chairman Perkins stated that the lighting cut sheets were included in the packet and the color
samples have been submitted.
Rhoda Schneiderman moved to approve the proposed colors and light fixtures
Jack Hunn seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

Lot 4, Block 1. Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Golden Eagle Auto Service Center, Color
Modification, Design Review
Sue Railton returned as a voting member of the Commission.
Mary Holden stated that this is to modify the color at Golden Eagle. Originally what was approved
was a milkweed, light gray/beige, and a brown. No color samples were kept. They are proposing
Otter, shown on the sample, and she does not know how much of a deviation there is. They are also
proposing the metal tone as the trim and Capetown green as the accent.
Considerable discussion followed on where the various colors would be used. The applicant
explained that the siding came prestained and delivered to the job and put up. When they started
looking at the beige colors it was apparent that it would not fit with the siding color, therefore the
request for the color change.
John Perkins stated that the header that runs across the deck on the front seems to be too narrow and
shallow. It makes it looks light. It should be beefed up so it reads as a heavier spandral across there.
Discussion followed on this.
Jack Hunn stated that he would like to suggest that the colors be reversed. That the darker color be
used on the rough block at the bottom and the lighter color be used for the trim band. So that the
building's base appears to be heavier because of the darker rather than the lighter. The applicant
stated that he thinks with the stripe being the darker color it will weight it and pull it down the
lighter color would look like a racing stripe. Considerable discussion followed
Henry Vest moved to approve the color change as presented. Sue Railton seconded and the motion
carried with a five to one vote, Rhoda Schneiderman voting nay.
Lot 14, Filine 1, Eaglebend Modifications Final Design Review
Mary Holden stated that the modification consists extending the roof over the stairs that are on the
side. There is also a modification of colors which is very minimal. The approved color was a tan
and they are proposing the sand castle. The trim will remain the same
Holden stated that the overhang extends into the sideyard setback and the applicant needs to apply
for a variance or adjust the sideyard lot line to remove it from the sideyard setback. Staff would
recommend approval with the condition that a variance be applied for and granted or they apply for a
lot line adjustment.
Tony Seibert stated that the purpose for this request is to prevent snow from covering the walkway

going down to the lower unit. Seibert stated that they would go for the lot line adjustment. They
own both lots, therefore there will be no problem there.
Hunn asked if this was a duplex. Seibert stated that this was designed as an over/under duplex, with
an interior entrance. It can be used as a large single family or can be legally separated.
Schneiderman asked what the post construction would be. Seibert stated either 4 x 4 or 6 x 6. After
discussion it was determined that it should be 6 x 6.
Rhoda Schneiderman moved to grant approval for Lot '4, Filing 1, Eaglebend, design modifications
and color change, with the following conditions:
1. The lot line be redrawn.
2. Six by six material be used for the posts for the extension over the walkway.
Jack Hunn seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Lot 43, Block 3. Wildridge Subdivision Bober Residence Conceptual Design Review
Chairman Perkins stated he would step down as a voting member of the Commission due to a
conflict of interest.
Vice Chairman Hunn presided.
Mary Holden stated that the unit will be three levels and approximately 28' in height. She stated that
they are proposing asphalt shingle, stucco and flag stone columns. She stated that no landscaping
plan or topo has been submitted. The porte cochere overhangs extend into the front yard setback
which is not allowed The utility connections need to be shown on the site plan. A grading and
drainage plan, on a certified topography, showing the true limits of site disturbance, utility
connections, all easements and setbacks, the driveway tie in to the street and the Flat Point Road
intersection in relation to the driveway cut. A construction and erosion control fence maybe
required. That can be determined once they get a topo of the site. Exterior lighting needs to be
shown. landscaping, colors and material samples need to be submitted and called out on the
elevations, and the type of fireplace needs to be indicated. As a conceptual design review, Staff has
no recommendation.

Lot 43, Block 3 Wildridse Subdivision, Bober Residence Conceptual Design Review, (cont)
Brian Vedder asked if they might get a variance for the overhang of the pate cochere into the
setback. Mary Holden stated that they could apply for one, but they really need to look at the topo
first.
Buz Reynolds asked if the applicant was going to use braces for the large overhangs. Vedder stated
that her works for an engineering firm, so he would imagine he has a handle on it Reynolds stated
that it kind of looks out of place. Other than that he likes the building.
Henry Vest stated that the deck railing looks like the basic low rent railing on an up scale house,
Discussion followed on the use of flagstone and the fact that he might not use it. Vest stated that he
should use some other type material instead of stucco, since the building is stucco. Discussion
followed on the backing and turning areas for the cars
Rhoda Schneiderman stated that she likes the building, but she is not sure how it is going to look on
the lot without seeing a topo. Discussion followed on the band, but several people were talking at
the same time, therefore nothing said is clear. Finally, Mary Holden pointed out on the drawings
what would be stucco and what would be cedar. She stated that she could see no reason to grant a
variance for the pone cochere since if it is a flat lot there would be plenty room to move. Discussion
followed on the location of the garages
Sue Railton stated that it doesn't seem much like a mountain home, but every one is entitled to do
what they want to do. She does not think it is very fitting,
Jack Hunn stated that he appreciates the house, but he doesn't know if it fits in Wildridge He stated
that as it addresses the street, the north elevation is very blank He thinks it can be made interesting
with a very good landscape plan along the roadway. Discussion followed on this matter
Vice Chairman Hunn stated that no action would be taken at this time, but those were the comments
from the Commission for the applicant to consider

Mary Holden stated that this is for a single family with a future lock -off unit This is a duplex zoned
lot. The structure will contain three levels and stand right at 35' in height Proposed materials are a

She stated that the conceptual landscape plan consists of pinion pine, aspen and sandcherry. Sod is
proposed and all disturbed areas will be hydro seeded with a grass and wildflower mix. She stated
that revegetation must include native bushes. Detail and location must be provided on all proposed
retaining walls and be designed by an engineer if over four feet in height. Utility connections need to
be shown on the site plan. Type of driveway needs to be indicated. An accurate drainage and
grading plan on a certified topo needs to be submitted, showing true lines of site disturbance and also
indicating the thirty foot setback from the mean annual high water mark. They show the setback as
fifty feet from center line of the river. Construction erosion control to delineate the site disturbance
will need to be placed on this site to protect the river. Site plan needs to reflect the driveway tying
into the street. Parking for the future lock -off must be provided. Access to the lock -off needs to be
shown. The finished grade needs to be tied to the building elevations. Building height cannot exceed
35 feet. Building lighting needs to be indicated. Colors and materials need to be indicated on the
elevations, and the type of fireplace needs to be indicated. As a conceptual Staff does not have a
formal recommendation.
The applicant stated that this is his first time ever before this Board and he does have some
questions. He stated that he is not familiar with the design of the house. He stated that they do have
an engineer working on the structurals and they will have him work on the retaining wall also. He
stated that they will show the utility connections. He is not sure what the driveway will be, but he
imagines it will be concrete. The applicant asked where they would find the mean high water mark.
Mary Holden stated he would need to get an engineer for that. Sue Railton stated that Inter -
Mountain Engineering has all the plats for that. The applicant asked what an erosion control fence
consists of Holden stated it could be bales of hay put on the inside to prevent disturbance. The
applicant stated he thought the parking for the future lock -off was on the print. He thinks it is the
section to the right of the driveway He stated that the access to the lock -off is shown, and described
where it is on the plans. Regarding tying the finished grades to building elevations, Chairman Perkins
stated that he should give spot elevations on the elevations that correspond with the grade at that
appropriate point on the site plan. The applicant stated that the building height will not exceed 35'.
The applicant asked what was needed for building lighting. Holden stated they needed to know
where it is going and style. Perkins stated that he needs to bring a cut sheet of the exterior lighting
fixtures. The applicant stated that the colors and materials will be indicated on the elevations. He
asked what they meant by type of fireplace. Chairman Perkins stated they need to indicate if it is gas
or wood burning.
Buz Reynolds stated that the Commission requires an asphalt shingle that has a relief with shadow
line, rather than a three tab shingle, which is flat. Reynolds asked if the turnarounds were parking
areas. The applicant stated that the one to the right is a parking area and the other just comes into
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

Lot 9, Filiniz 1. Eaglebend Subdivision Dwyer Residence Conceptual Design Review, (cont)
the garage. Reynolds stated that it looks like it will be almost impossible to turn around if one is a
parking area. Chairman Perkins stated that they don't like cars backing out on to the street, so you
need to have a turnaround or reconfigure this so that in some way that can work for both.
Jack Hunn stated that he is uncomfortable with the trim color proposed. It is a pretty bright teal
color. The siding color is fine. It was suggested that the trim color be toned down. Hunn stated
that looking at the window patterns on one elevation contrasting with another elevation, the west
elevation has a very regular pattern with them stacking and on the opposite elevation it is very
random, a lot of different size windows and not a lot of organization to them. It seems like two
different people designed each side of the house. Hunn stated that he likes them both, but he thinks
they should pick one and use it on both sides of the house. Hunn stated that the landscape plan
seems to be pretty modest. Really focused on the street side of the home and no landscaping
proposed for the rear of the home. The should be a total solution for the project. Hunn asked if the
retaining wall on the east elevation would be an exposed concrete wall or would it be finished with
some material. The applicant stated that he would imagine that they would not leave it ba -e
concrete.
John Perkins stated the flue that is shown looks like it isjust a metal termination. He stated he
would like to see a chimney mass enclosing that. He stated that he also agrees with the previrus
comments.
Henry Vest stated that the south elevation, it appears that the upstairs four paneled window, is that
where it is actually going to be, because it is not really at the same level as the popout. The applicant
stated that he thought it was just a mistake in the drawings. Vest stated that on the north elevation,
the bay window that you have on the front there, it feels like it is something that you might not really
need, because one of the bay windows is just looking right at the garage wall, really The applicant
stated that he does not believe it is a bay window he thinks it is a straight out window. Vest stated
that he actually likes the way you have that additional popout over the garage, but the garage is
shedding directly over onto the driveway as you come into the garage doors. The east elevation,
kind of the same thing that Jack said, the bay you have there is kind of lined up over the side of to
the side of the, instead of being right underneath the point of the fascia. The applicant stated he
thought that is something that had to be worked in with the floor design.
Rhoda Schneiderman stated that the landscape plan is not adequate The pinion pine, are those in
feet or caliper. Hunn stated feet. Schneiderman stated that the pinion pine needs to be translated
into how tall they are, and there is a minimum of six foot allowed. She stated that she does not mind
the blue color, but it needs to be toned way down. She thinks they definitely have to choose one of
the other of the window arrangements. She thinks the random arrangement is better.

Sue Railton asked if the windows have a trim around them. The applicant stated they did not. She
asked how the doors would be treated, what colors, the garage doors, the patio doors and the doors
downstairs seem : o be a different door to the ones on the upper level and it looks a little strange.
She would rather r;ee them all the same.
Henry Vest stated that they might want to incorporate another material besides just the siding,
particularly on the elevation that has 35' or so of siding straight all the way up.
Chairman Perkins stated that those would be the comments from the Commission and no formal
action is taken at conceptual review.
Tony Seibert asked permission to comment on this project. He stated that his company is the owner
and developer of most of the horses on Eaglebend Drive on the river side He thinks that there has
been a missed opportunity, architecturally here. He stated that most of the homes they have built
were duplexes and because of that they had to design them so the garages faced the street. Here is a
single family and could utilize a side entry garage- Seibert stated also, that 90% of the winds and
snows come from the west and north west, and they have the front entry facing west and north west
and they have the garages facing the same way. He also commented on the use of the asphalt
shingles being used. He stated that he thinks the landscaping should surround three side of the
hoose. He thinks the riverside is pretty well taken care of He stated that he thinks the pinion pines
are the worst pine trees. He felt they should use either blue spruce, scotch pine, etc.
John Perkins stated that he agreed that some of the other pine or spruce species would be more
suitable and he feels that because that street does have some established landscaping, the applicant
needs to come up to the standards that are existing there, rather than a starter standard.
Lot 47, Block 2 Wildridge Subdivision Smith Single Family Residence, Conceptual Design Review
Mary Holden stated that the site is 1 71 acres and slopes to the south at approx1mately 40° o. It
consists of two levels and stand approximately 24-27 feet high. An underground three car garage is
being proposed. In addition the site plan notes that 12 foot driveway gravel in year one, paved in
year two after settlement. The materials are a single -ply membrane, river rock ballast for the roof
Synthetic stucco will be the wall material The landscape plan includes pinion pine, aspen and juniper
trees Revegetation will be with native bushes and grasses and an automatic drip system is being
proposed to the trees and a formal bedding area.
Mary Holden stated that the underground garage is extending into the twenty five foot setback, but
since it is underground it does not require a variance It will stop ten feet from the properly line and

ten feet of that is the easement, so they cannot go into that easement, whether it is above or below
ground. She stated that the rest of the building will abut the setback, and just to let the applicant
know, overhangs are not allowed to extend over into the setbacks. Finished slopes may not exceed
2:1. Detail needs to be provided on all proposed retaining walls and designed by an engineer if over
four feet. Utility connections need to be shown on the site plan. Type of driveway needs to be
indicated. An accurate grading plan and drainage plan, on a certified topo, showing true limits of site
disturbance needs to be submitted. Construction and erosion fence will be required for this site.
Snow storage needs to be addressed and landscaping must meet the minimum Town standards with a
minimum of 2" caliper aspens. The applicant needs to tie the finished grade into the building
elevations, and place spot elevations on the elevations. Color and materials need to be laclicated on
the elevations and the type of fireplace needs to be indicated.
Mary Holden stated that Staff sees no reason why this driveway shouldn't be paved prior to
occupancy like every other single family or duplex in Wildridge.
.e Perkin stated that this is a traditional adobe southwestern style building. He stated that in over
twenty years of practicing in this valley he has never dealt with a steeper lot than this one. He stated
that they might pursue a possible variance to bring the garage roof out of the ground. Mr. Perkin's
other comments are not clear due to a train going by at the time. He stated that he is interested in
getting the Commission's feedback on the landscaping approach. He asked how much landscaping i--
appropriate
sappropriate on a two acre site that doesn't have a single tree on it. He is concerned that landscaping
out very far from the building itself might look very strange.
Mr. Perkin stated that the grading plan as shown is within six inches and is based on a certified topo
map He stated that there would be no problem with construction fences. Regarding snow storage,
idea is to push it off the side of the driveway.
Sue Railton stated that she likes the design She stated that she sees his point with landscaping She
thinks that landscaping just close into the house to soften the corners of it would be enough. and she
thinks they need to start getting into landscaping for a very dry environment. She stated that she
likes the underground garage, but she can see where bringing even some of it up would be an
advantage, but she would prefer it underground.
Rhoda Schneiderman asked Staff if this house fits the steep slope guidelines. She stated that it looks
like a cut in a 40% lot, which is not what they originally intended when they redid the guidelines.
Architecturally it seems that this style house, being that so many, you know the original places that
these are built down, down in the southwest, are traditionally built totally with the landscape and

you see so many of them just crawling over and down the hill and this one doesn't at all. Even
linearly it doesn't have, except for one single break in the roofline, any up and down to it. It is just
kind of a cross with one section in the center which is elevated. That is the problem she has with it.
She stated that she thinks it is a nice design, she would just like to see a little bit more variation
moving down the hill and with this particular type of architecture you have the potential for doing
that. It is natural and looks very organic when it moves with the landscape The applicant stated
that he appreciates her point and agrees with it, but on this particular lot the project will be such that
they just can't go down any further. They are already cantilevering out over the edge of the precipice
by three or four feet. Schneiderman asked if they would have more leeway if the building starts
closer to the street as far as stepping it down the hill. The applicant stated not really because it is
very consistent all the way from the street all the way down to the low point on the lot.
Schneiderman stated that she likes to see landscaping appropriate to the style of the building and this
obviously is a building that is derived from an extremely, maybe drier than Wildridge, area and she
has no problem with pinion and reveging with sage and natural grasses.
Henry Vest stated that as far as the garage, he thinks, he would, he would vote for a variance to be
able to bring it up. His thought would be that if you did that you could also, you could probably
utilize that as a guest parking type of situation, cause from where he has seen this lot, it seems to him
there is a fair amount of plateau in one spot and then it is very steep, whereas the rest of the lot,
where you are putting the driveway is kind of a natural spot for the driveway there. The applicant
responded to Mr. Vest's comments about the garage and parking, but his comments are not clear.
He referred Mr. Vest to the elevation that shows the location of Wildridge Road and how much
lower the project is from the road. Vest stated that it is kind of a house that doesn't really have a,
you have quite a bit of parking down the driveway, but other than that, its kind of a thing where you
can't park on the road in Wildridge and you can't walk down to the front entry, and that way... He
stated that he likes the design. He asked how wide is the house, how wide is it from north to south.
The applicant stated approximately 30 feet Vest stated thirty feet, that's pretty skinny
John Perkins stated, with respect to the steep slope guidelines, he thinks this house does fit into the
hill quite nicely and he thinks that the Commission has to be careful that they don't get tha+ image of
the picture that Steve had on the cover of the Steep Slope Guidelines and think that that is the only
way that the steep slope guidelines can be addressed. He even thinks that the house that John
Railton presented also, both of these houses will cut into the side of the hill in a way that he thinks
they will feel that they are very well integrated on their site So, he thinks this does meet the intent
of that document. He stated that he would be comfortable with either way they want to do the
garage. Perkins stated that he really likes the design and given the site and the constraints, he thinks
this is a valid solution.

Jack Hunn stated that he would encourage the applicant to persue the front setback variance and
express thn,. garage out of the ground, because he does think it will make that elevation more
interesting. If you look at the length of the house and imagine what is expressed out of the ground is
all straight line for seventy feet or so, it is not a very interesting image to the road and he thinks it
would be more interesting expressing that roof up. He stated that there are two other examples that
he can think of where they have granted a similar variance on a lot this steep. Hunn stated that he
cannot quite interpret the grades, but there is a 11 regrade criteria and it appears that the bank
below south of the driveway platform may exceed that, and there may be some retainage required
there and similarly on the patio on the southeast corner of the home. The applicant stated that they
would address that in detail. Hunn stated that he would agree with the comments made about the
landscaping. He stated that he thinks that the landscaping held close to the building can make it
more interesting and relieve the building on the site and also it would be enjoyed by the occupants of
the home, particularly around the patio area and the entry area. He stated that he thinks the north
side of the home should be landscaped properly to buffer to the road. The south elevation has some
very nice character and part of that is because of the battered tapered features on the home. That
shows up on the south and north, but on the east and west its a pretty straight line technique
Discussion followed on the parapet walls. Hunn stated that the cantilever is an unusual design
feature for this style of architecture, but he thinks it works here and he understands why they are
doing it. Hunn stated that he thinks they did a very good job of dealing with a very difficult site.
Buz Reynolds asked what the pitch of the driveway was. Mr. Perkin's response is not clear.
Reynolds stated that the home should have more of the landscaping than the downhill side. Anything
that you put downhill from this project , he believes will get toasted, except for grasses. Reynolds
stated that he would like to see some other way to get down to the home other than just the
driveway. He stated that he feels that the applicant has done well with this. project Reynolds asked
what the top of the chimney elements would be, will the be wrapped with stucco. The applicant
replied inside and out. Reynolds asked if the driveway would be lighted. He thinks because of the
length and the way it is set up it would be a good idea to light it Reynolds stated that he likes the
whole concept of what they have done and with the site they have they have done a very good job
He would like to see the landscaping for the curve pretty in depth. He stated that the sewer line is
pretty much downhill and if you can go directly east and hook into the sewer line and not disturb
what's below, because if you do go straight down you will trash the hillside The applicant stated
that the sewer line actually almost parallel with the westernmost property line, so they will try to stay
in the driveway disturbance as long as possible. Further discussion followed on this, however others
were talking at the same time and none of the conversations are clear.

Perkins stated that he does not think that there should be a pathway from the road down, because it
would encourage parking on the road.
Brian Vedder stated that he would like to see the building raised so you are not looking down on the
roof. Discussion followed on this suggestion.
Chairman Perkins stated that those were the comments from the Commission and as a conceptual
review, no action would be taken at this time.
Lot 24, Block Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Avon Plaza, Conceptual Design Review
Mary Holden stated that this project is approximately 18,000 square feet of retail and office space.
The project will be two buildings on Lot 24. The majority of the buildings will be one level, with the
exception of building A which will contain a second level on the west end of the building and that
will contain about 1200 square feet of office. The building is approximately 34' in height at the
highest point and the plan indicates 76 parking spaces. Building materials will consist of metal roof,
synthetic stucco siding. A landscape plan has not been provided to staff. Holden stated that Lot 24
is located in the shopping Center Zone District. The Comprehensive Plan Subarea 15, which
designates this lot as having primary streetscape development and public pedestrian space, and this
lot is also specifically addressed in the design guidelines. She stated that the conceptual plans do not
reflect any primary streetscape development or any type of pedestrian space Staff would remind the
applicant to address these items for final design review. Holden stated that the guidelines specifically
addresses this lot as far as use and providing interesting views from 1-70, etc., and also a pedestrian
mall. Staff would like the applicant to consider a pedestrian connection Holden stated that the
building should reflect criteria set forth in the design guidelines Accurate grading and drainage plans
are required, and details on the detention area needs to be added. Existing buildings on adjacent
properties need to be added, the adjacent lot lines extending out beyond the property line needs to be
added, and the edge of the • avement of East Creek Blvd Parking may be no closer than 10' to the
front property line. Landscape islands need to be located on the end The sidewalks in front of the
buildings are 5' wide and with the doors open it will create about a T wide passage Trash enclosure
needs to be located elsewhere and detail provided on the enclosure Overhangs are not allowed into
the setbacks. Building separations between the two buildings is 7' and the canopies are about P
apart A detailed landscape plan needs to be presented with a minimum of 20% of the site needs to
be in landscape area. Exterior building lighting, materials and colors needs to be shown on the
elevations and also samples submitted for materials and colors. Snow storage, utility connections

Streetscape improvements needs to be addressed. The entrance should be aligned with the entrance
into the Christie Lodge across the street. Emergency vehicle access in the parking area needs to be
addressed.
Tim Garton stated that the concept of the Streetscape improvements is a little vague in his mind as to
what they really want to see and how their Streetscape improvements link up with the adjacent
neighbors. A sidewalk on that site is an attractive one except that it would start where there is no
sidewalk and go where there is no sidewalk, so what would the function be. Also curbs and gutters
that don't have any other lead in, etc. He stated that he is not sure that the driveway lined up with
the Christie would work very well. He stated that they did discuss with Mr. Amsbaugh the concept
of pedestrian access. That will have to be further defined. There was originally the concept in the
master plan that had a pedestrian mall that essentially went right through the middle of where North
Court is now. It is not clear where the pedestrians are coming from and where they are going to.
He stated that they have allowed for another walk through between the two buildings. There is a
certain natural amount of traffic that does come across from Christie in an effort to get to Wal-Mart,
etc. He would like to receive some kind of guidance on these three items.
Jerry Dokken stated that a lot of the Staffs report reflects things that they wanted to find out from
the Commission where Avon stood as far as design items. He provided photographs of the site,
showing some of the building around and what they used as their guideline as well as the design
guidelines to develop this concept. He stated that the basis for the design is a bit of a match for
what is already occurring at North Court, at Beaver Creek Place, At the Annex, etc. The site is kind
of locked between Beaver Creek Blvd., the Christie Lodge on one side, Beaver Creek Place on
another and North Court on another, so they thought it reasonable to back their building up to the
backs of other buildings. And also from a presentation standpoint for a retail space, which this is,
that the presentation would face Beaver Creek Blvd. That is why the configuration turned out to be
what it is, L-shaped and two buildings with one building stepping down the site. The site is about 1
and 3/4 acres and goes from about zero to fourteen feet in slope. The flow through traffic runs
pretty directly off the boulevard. and back through the project. The parking occurs between the
building and the boulevard and there is landscaping, dumpsters, loading zone, etc. that are scattered
on the site for various reasons. Detention of water will occur in the lower part of the site and also on
the southwest corner of the site. The buildings are a reflection of what is in Avon. They are one-
story, except for one section that will be an office of 1200 square feet. Regarding some of the
architectural elements and the way they have worked with the types of materials that now exists and
trying to repeat some of that, they have synthetic stucco, glass would predominate across the store
fronts, and there would be a tower element that would play off of the other tower element that is on

Beaver Creek Place and then the possibility of another tower element down where the two buildings
meet. The roof is metal in a terra cotta color, a reddish brown. The stucco would be in a more
tan/offwhite, complimentary to the other buildings surrounding the project. Landscaping was not
shown as they are still working that out. The landscaping would be trees and some shrubbery and
grasses and rocks and things similar to other projects.
Chairman Perkins stated that the applicant should meet with the Town Engineer regarding the
streetscape improvements. He stated that he could just about tell him that they will be doing curbs
gutters and sidewalks. He Thinks the town wants to, someday, create a pedestrian access system,
and the Town may have to come in and complete these gaps that are left as far as sidewalks and curb
and gutter on some of the projects that happened early on. Norm Wood is the one you need to see.
Perkins stated that regarding the access alignment with the Christie Lodge is something, he thinks
from a traffic standpoint, at least off site it makes sense, he can see where that's he thinks in the
future they need to pick up the Christie building, whether it is a smaller scale site Flan, so they can
see how those other buildings relate. He stated he can see where that might cause their interior site
circulation some difficulties. The applicant stated that they haven't surveyed it yet, but it looks like it
happens at exactly the wrong place.
Perkins stated that he thinks that the pedestrian mall went by the wayside when North Court was
built. He thinks that they need to think about honoring some way to get through here, you've
allowed for, and maybe they could come through there and somehow get between and on through to
City Market. He stated that, architecturally, he like the little towers and he thinks that they have a
different twist to kind of the same concept that has been used.
Buz Reynolds asked about the parking in the twenty-five foot setback- Mary Holden stated that they
can only go fifteen feet into the setback. They are currentiv six feet, or 19 feet into the setback.
Reynolds stated that the Town plows are just going to chew that landscaping up. He stated that he
thinks the whole site drains pretty evenly down toward the liquor store, rather than the way shown
Reynolds stated that the idea of a walkway through there, he sees the area between the buildings
becoming a pedestrian way. He stated that he likes the look of the building. He feels that they have
no place to put snow The applicant stated that they are considering a haul -off plan.
Jack Hunn asked how many parking spaces would be required for this many square feet of
commercial. Mary Holden stated that it is 76 and they are showing 76, but there is one in there that
is not a functional parking space. Steve Amsbaugh stated that plus they don't have the islands
terminating near some of those parking areas so it gets tight

Hunn commented that the spaces that are coming right up where the bumper is going to meet the
building on the west side of the smaller building, it would be nice to have some room there to relieve
that building with some landscaping, because that is a fairly common and first impression as you
come around tue corner. If it is hard building and hard pavement with cars and the potential that
those cars are going to damage the building, that is a little harsh there. The fingers of landscaping
that buffer the main entrances are so narrow that the question of what kind of landscape solution
would be successful growing in there. The applicant stated that they were thinking about the same
concept used at Beaver Creek Place. Hunn asked if they were required to back up the parking to
allow the ten foot to the property line, wouldn't you effectively loose some parking spaces as a result
of that. The applicant stated yes, but they think they can pick them up in various other ways. Hunn
stated that the dumpster location is quite prominent and as Mary pointed out, she would like to see
that better hidden. Hunn stated that the loading bay is also pretty prominent and those can tend to
look like a loading bay and it is awfully noticeable there. Hunn stated that he is also concerned with
the narrowness of the sidewalk and the doors being propped open. You could solve that by
recessing the doors into the space slightly. Also, if wheel stops are not used you could have bumper
encroachment onto the sidewalk and have a very narrow situation there. Hunn asked if they were
full size parking spaces. Holden stated that they were full size, 9 x 18. Hunn stated that the
guidelines call for every side of the buildings to be as interesting as the others and there is definitely a
back to this building, but it is back against another one so he is not very concerned about it. The one
corner, depending on the proximity to the other building might be noticed and might need some
architectural or landscape treatment. He pointed out it was the north comer and a similar corner on
the other side. He stated it would be good to see this lot developed, so it won't be a parking lot.
Henry Vest stated that he agrees with John, he likes the building and it is hard to believe but it seems
like there is, just from they way they are trying to angle the parking spaces and the access, it seems
like there is a little too much building. He likes the building and the colors and he would like to see
them get all the parking spaces in and be able to pull that out of the easement. Reynolds suggested
underground parking. The applicant stated that underground parking is prohibitive at this time.
Rhoda Schneiderman stated that she thinks they are going to end up with not enough parking spaces
Also, she thinks they need to get rid of the loading dock and the dumpsters and put them around in
back of the building and in some way screen them. They are not appropriate on that corner there.
There is really no blind side to this lot She stated that she has no objections to the architecture, but
the colors, while they may be in the Town guidelines, you have expressed your willingness to blend
your architecture, etc., and yet, while she doesn't want to see another blue roof, she thinks that this
color roof will stand out more than everything else. She would kind of almost like to see a kind of

grayish color. She thinks they will have trouble with the parking that pulls up to the store fronts on
the west building. She doesn't thinks the stops are going to work, especially with snow piling up
there, so you will not have a full 18 feet. She also thinks it does need a lot more landscaping,
especially on the west end of the south building.
The applicant asked if she was completely against the color. Schneiderman stated that she would
have to see samples, because to date she has not seen a color rendering that is accurate. the
applicant stated that the idea was to warm up the blues and greens that you have there now and
maybe get a little variance. Schneiderman stated she would reserve judgment until she sees samples.
Sue Railton stated that she would say the same thing about the colors. She said this looks more like
a southwestern style building, with its color scheme, than any of the others there, and she thinks it is
in conflict to the others, but maybe if you are going to introduce some of the other colors as accent it
might bring those colors in. She stated that she likes the comments about pulling those buildings
apart a bit, but unless you really study where the people are going to cut through there, what's the
point. If there is a sidewalk built around here, maybe the people will use the sidewalk. Discussion
followed on the path in the snow where the people cut through now from the Christie Lodge.
Discussion followed on possible locations for a path through there. The applicant suggested getting
all the property owners together and doing something Railton stated that she thinks the
configuration for the parking seems the best solution and she does not know what they will do if they
make you line up with the Christie Lodge. She recommends that this not happen. She stated that
she does not mind the loading dock. The applicant stated that it is a loading area, not a dock. It is
an area where a truck can stand for a time and unload. Railton stated that she thinks the dumpster
has got to be completely screened. The dumpsters around Avon are an atrocity. The one at the
medical center that the building next door uses is terrible and that has to be resolved at some stage.
Railton stated that if they had adequate big trees along the sidewalk that would be really good.
John Perkins stated that with the encroachment into the ten foot setback, and the sidewalk that is not
really quite wide enough in front of the buildings, and the cars parking right up against the building,
it seems that they are maybe ten to fifteen percent over what this site will comfortably carry. He
feels they have overloaded the site. He feels architecturally he likes it and also he likes the colors.
Jack Hunn asked if there was any intent to have a restaurant or any food service as a tenant. The
applicant stated that they have been approached, but the parking for a restaurant is so restrictive and
the parking for a restaurant would take up about lialf of the parking spaces. They also had inquiries

about a movie theater, but unfortunately the parking requirement for a theater is one space for every
four seats and there goes all of out parking.
Rhoda Schneiderman stated that there has been a precedent set with the "Boat" Building, that if you
have a business that operates strictly at night and the rest of your space is daytime space such as
office space or retail with limited hours, whatever, the parking can be jiggled a little bit. Discussion
followed on the applicant probably having to put more second story space in to accommodate the
parking requirements.
Hunn stated that one of his concerns with a restaurant, if you think about the space behind, the
Columbine Bakery, they have a whole bunch of equipment and restaurant impacts hanging off the
back of the building. Not really planned and very visible. There are a lot of impacts caused by
restaurants. Further discussion followed on putting the pathway in and getting the cooperation from
the other owners. Discussion followed on where the sidewalk would end.
The applicant thanked the Commission for their comments.
