He explained that the color rendering is basically the same as before, except they show the off -sets for the bedrooms on the backside of the upper level. He stated that some of the pitches on the front roof have been revised.

Jim Decherd, zpplicant, stated that he had been in contact with Larry and that they had arranged a meeting to solve this problem.

DAY CARE CENTER I:d TQKJ Qi;T�R ZONING I2LSTRICT Dick Kvach explained that when questions arise as to whether this - specific use does or does not come within any expressed use category the person may apply to the P & Z Commission for determination of whether a specific use is an Allowed Use or Special Review Use with the determination made of the intention of the district and that compatibility of the proposed use. Ile explained that the question has come up whether a pre-school/day care center would be a use that would be permitted within a Town Center district as an Allowed Use or Special Review Use. He stated that in his review he felt it would be a use compatible with tourist type activities within the category, and the Allowed Use category is generally retail type uses. He felt that because of the intensity of the activity of a day care center that a pre-school/day care center should be allowed in a Town Center district as a Special Review Use. Dennis Cole, representing the applicant, Helen Hochstetter, stated that he felt it should be an Allowed Use subject to certain quali- fications. Bill Pierce asked if any outdoor space was required. Dennis stated that the State requires a certain amount of outside recreation space. Comments: Mike Blair - would classify it as a Special Review Use in order to give the effected property owners a chance to review it along with the Commission. Clint Watkins - could see making it a Special Review Use. Bill Pierce - it should be an Allowed Use due to physical improvements being made to the outside which would be required to be presented to the Commission. Jim Meehan - feels that the possible use and interpretation of the use requires this particular use be a Special Review Use because of the effect it has on the surrounding property owners. Dick Kvach advised the Board there are three considerations to be -5- • l fes' considered in a Special Review Use, those were: (1) Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements imposed by the Zoning Ordinance; (2) Whether the proposed use is consistent with the objecLive and purpose of the Zoning Code and applicable zoning district; acid (3) Whether the proposed use is designed to be compatible with the surrounding land uses and uses in the area. Clint Watkins moved, that the interpretation is that the P & Z Commission consider a pre-school/day care center as a Special Review Use in Town Center zoning. Notion was seconded by Jim Meehan. There were no nay votes. FINAL REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION OF OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REGULATIONS A change was made to the number of loading spaces for residential buildings. There is to be no number required; there will be a note "as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission". Clint Watkins suggested that the draft be referred to the Town Council with a request that a work session be conducted between both the P & Z and Town Council to discuss any further changes. The Board agreed to this and motion was called. for. Clint Watkins moved to refer the draft of the Parking and Loading Regulations to the Town Council with a request that at some time in the future, at each one's convenience, there be a Work Session between the two, and that it also be referred to the Town Attorney and Town Engineer. Motion was seconded by Mike Blair and was passed unanimously. REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION OF REVISED SIGN CODE, Clint Watkins moved to table discussion on the Revised Sign Code until the next regular meeting. Motion was seconded by Jim Meehan and was passed unanimously. At this time Bill Pierce read a letter from Bob Zeeb stating his resignation to the P & Z. Bill suggested the secretary prepare a letter on behalf of the Town of Avon Planning & Zoning Commission acknowledging his resignation and thanking him for his time and services, and have each member to sign it. November 4th ments meeting Breckenridge. Avon, and the and 5th there will be a Northwest Council of Govern - for Planners and Planning Commission members in The fee of $25.00 was paid last year by the Town of members who attended found it to be very worthwhile. ;• 7 Qb Bill Pierce suggested moving the meetings to an earlier starting time. He felt more efficient attention could be given to projects if the meeting time was earlier than running the meetings so late into the night. Everyone was in agreement to an earlier evening starting time. Clint Watkins suggested that, while an earlier meeting time is being requested, that the P & Z ask the Council to ask the Town Attorney to draft a procedure for the meetings of the P & Z. Jim Meehan moved to recommend to Council that the meeting times be moved to 6:00 P.M. for the earliest possible date. Motion was seconded by Tommy Landauer and was passed unanimously.
