The meeting was called to order by Chairman Mike Blair. Members Present: Mike Blair, Cheryl Dingwell, Jeff Maddox, Tom Landauer, Hark Donaldson Members Absent: Pat Cuny, Charlie Gersbach Staff Present: Norm Wood, Director of Engineering and Community Development - Jim Lamont, Planning Consultant Ray Wright, Engineering Technician - Jim Williams, Building Administrator - Maggie Lach, Recording Secretary Work Session Wood reviewed agenda items of December 17, 1985 wi-ch Commission members. Wood reviewed proposed revisions to Procedures, Rules, and Regulations with Commission. Regular Agenda Items - 7:40 PM Citizen input - Eagie Bend - Informal Discussion (Proposed Annexation and Zoning) Wood stated this was an informal presentation on the proposed annexation and proposed project for Eagle Bend property. Wood stated that applicant would like feedback from Commission regarding annexation and :_oning possibilities of RHDC, RHLD and SPA. He explained that this had been discussed at Staff level along with review of preliminary site plans. Art Kleinstein, a managing partner of Eagle Bend stated that discussion on annexation has been on-going for the last 7 months and that they would like to make a formal presentation in 1986. Kl�-instein introduced Arthur Wise, planning consultant and architect of project and Jeff Spanel, engineer. Wise presented plans to Commission showing location of property, along with vicinity map and three dimensional midel of project. Wise explained that they approached this proposal as a single -type product where 3 story juildings only would be built over the entire site. The density is approximately 18 units per acre, or 200 units. He stated that Staff encouraged a more open type plan which creates large open spaces with buildings around them. This also led to a mid -rise building of 6 stories, over parking, to get the density and over 60% open space. The concept of project is to have community building at entrance with swimming pool and amenities. The tennis courts would be at the northeast corner of property at the rear of the 6 story building. These facilities will be shared with Stonebridge project to the east because they are included in original subdivision.

Wise stated they tried to create as mutt: open space as they could in response to the river and the view to the south. A perceived detriment to the project is the railroad tracks which runs to the north edge of the property. He stated they have tried to buffer that with landscaping and with a sound fence around the property line, and by putting a public_ road along the property to distance the project. Landauer asked how this project fits in with Stonebridge. Wise felt that Stonebridge was too large and too expensive. Eagle Rend owners decided that proper development include smaller, less expensive living units at a higher density. Kleinstein felt it would enhance the Stonebridge project. Wise explained from pians that community building (6 stories) would be focal point of project. Lamont stated that density is not that adverse to the site and explained site in relation to development goals. He felt that with what has already been built, in conjunction with lower rise buildings, it gives 3 kinds of building types. There is a need for a variety of housing types in Avon. Lamont then discussed his planning thoughts using the three dimensional model. He generally felt that the overall development plan for the site was going in the right direction. Donaldson felt that concept was well thought out. Wood stated that zone districts discussed were SPA, which is based upon a specific plan submittal, which would allow all of the uses being requested. Another zone district compatible with request is RHLD, which will allow 20 units per acre, and all of the residential. Restaurants and commercial uses would be excluded, which is one of the drawbacks to RHLD. the RHDC zone district allows everything that they want, but also allows unlimited comriercial. From Staff level, SPA would be most appropriate Zoning. Donaldson had concerns of public road linking with Avon in terms of traffic flow, etc. Kleinstein felt that road would eventually connect with Avon. Landauer had concerns of density increase. Maddox asked if time sharing had been considered for this project. Kleinstein stated it had not, but that 6 story building could be time share oriented. Dingwell asked if feasibility study had been done. Kleinstein stated that there is a need for lower cost housing. Wise stated that proposed units are 1 and 2 bedroom, in the :90,000 price range. Blair summarized and stated SPA might be most appropriate zoning; that access to connection to town is important; a good amount of open space would be preferable; and site plan, architecture and style be compatible with surrounding area. Dingwell stated that site visit would be helpful. Blair thanked Wise and Kleinstein for presentation. Planning & Zoning Meeting MinLtes December 17, 1985 Page 3 of 7 Lots 29 & 32, H11. 2. PM G EC (Lot 1. Proposed Wynfield Subdivision) Wynfield Inn - Request for Change in Roofing Material_ Design Review Wright stated that Commission hao approved proposed roofing and siding material at the October 15, 1985 meeting. The roof material was concrete tile and tiie siding is Amarillo white stucco. Appli_ant is requesting a different roofing material of fiberglass asphalt shingles of a color described as "weathered wood". Applicant has submitted samples of the Amarillo white stucco siding and a color sample of the accent bands around buiding of #27 desert taupe. Tile asphalt shingles will be placed on the small roof area over the main entry to the building as well as uver the stairwells and service area. The pool equipment building and administration building will have these materials also. Bob Huston of Merrick and Company, representative of Wynfield Inn explained that concrete the roofing material was to be used on stairways and entry to guest room building and public building. He explained that they had heard from various sources that there was a problem of breakage with concrete the in this type of climate, and were also considering the expense of maintaining the tile and tile falling and injuring someone. He stated they are aware of the stigma associated with asphalt shingles because of little shadow lines and relief. The weight of the proposed shingle is 300# and it is multiple layers giving up to three thicknesses of shingle. There is a random pattern of shapes and color. Huston stated that the fiberglass asphalt shingle is a class A fire retardant shingle. Discu>sion followed on concrete tile, snow build-up, etc. Landauer had concerns of shingles presenting same plane from a distance. Donaldson stated that he liked the product and had no problem w.! it and felt it would become more acceptable, but preferred a charrual blend color. Huston presented color samples for review. Dingwell did not care for the color or materials. Maddox felt that material was a step backward for downtown Avon. Donaldson felt that. Commission might oe behind in +heir thinking on acceptance of these types of products, and felt that product. was safer than wood shingles. He also felt that it offered a long Iast1rig, uniform appearance. Dcaaldson motinned to approve application as submitted, with the exception of the color "weathered wood", and asked for a charcoal blend calor. Motion died due to lack of a second. Maddox asked Huston if charcoal color was acceptable. Huston felt it would make roof n+ public building too dark. Donaldson motioned to approve appli:ation as submitted. Landauer seconded.

The business is centered around those types of accounts relating to ordering parts. Blair opened the public hearing. There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed. Donaldson asked if there would be loading dock requirements. Metzdorff stated that south end of warehouse has loading dock away from other parking spaces. He stated there is apron off to the side which appears to offer 2 more parking spaces without interfering with loading dock. Donaldson asked if paperwork had been submitted from Blue Steel Gun Shop regarding parking. He felt this approval be contingent upon Mr. Wolff getting his details cleaned up tram previous application. Metzdorff stated he spoke with Blue Steel Gun Shop and thEy stated Wolff was reluctant to send letter because there was still 3,000 square feet of warehouse space still available.

Inc_ 40 Public Htrarino, Cont. Wood stated that Commission approved of Blue Steel Gun Shop and problem was with marginal parking. The 1,600 square feet for Beaver Track and Trail uses all the lett over parking from Blue Steel Gun Shop. The condition of that approval was that Mr. Wolff was to submit a letter that indicated that any other uses would come through the review process and that they would not exceed the parking requirements of what was available. This application uses all remaining parking for the warehouse and leaves 3,000 square feet of building vacant that would not be allowed any uses. Without letter, Mr. Wolff could say that Commission is not allowing him use of his facility ar warehouse space. Discussion followed on letter to be submitted by Wolff. Metzdorff stated he would try to procure letter from Wolf+ for next meeting of Commission. Discussion followed on proposed use and Special Review Use criteria. Dingwell motioned to continue application to next regular meeting and applicant is to present letter, from property owner, which states that the owner agrees that the unoccupied portions of the building will remain vacant until such time as additional parking spaces are provided in accordance with Town of Avon parking regulations.

The proposed sign is produced by Polaris. Location of the sign is to be above the main door facing east. Williams then reviewed Section 15.20.040 of Sign Code regarding Sign Allowance. Williams stated that sign is over the allowed square footage by 6 square feet. The 6 square feet could be allowed by reducing the 64 square feet allowed in Section 15.28.040, B1. He suggested that a letter from the owner of the building be submitted acknowledging this decrease to his signage. Metzdorff stated that this sign is flush mounted and manufactured by Polaris. The sign would be lit during business hours. Landauer said that he liked the sign and color. Dingwell felt signs on builJing would have no cohesiveness and would look like West Vail where all the signs are different. Dingwell motioned to continue application until Special Review Use is approved and letter is received from property owner. Donaldson seconded. Passed unanimously. Planning &.
