SPA Precise Plan and Design Review
Continued from 10/1/85 Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
This application is for the approval of a Precise Plan for a portion of an SPA
Zone District established by Ordinance 85-3. The Precise Plan provides for the
development of an automobile service station with car wash, convenience store
and office space on the easterly 1.298 acres of property formerly known as the
White Property. The plan also shows proposed dedication of park area along the
Eagle River:
Public Hearings on this plan were conducted by the Commission on August 29, and
September 17, 1985, and the project was recommended for Town Council approval
following the September 17 hearing. Following this meeting, it was learned
that some required property owners were not properly notified and the public
hearings were reopened on October 1, 1985 after proper notification.
At this meeting, considerable opposition to the project was expressed by two
adjacent property owners. The objections expressed particularly concerned the
appearance of the project from their property, the visibility of proposed uses
and possible environmental damage to the area and the Eagle River from fuel
tank and piping leaks.
Following public input, the Commission continued the public hearing and scheduled
a site visit at 5:30 PM, October 14, 1985 for Planning and Zoning Commission
members, applicant and other interested parties.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Depending upon reaction of the Commission members following the site visitation,
one of the following actions may be appropriate:
1. Reaffirm previous approval action;
2. Modify previous approval if determined to be necessary to address
concerns expressed by adjacent prop—ty owners;
a. Fence to screen site activities and headligtrts;
b. Review retaining wall design and appearance;
c. Place particular emphasis on landscape plan when submitted for
review and approval;
d. Consider location of fuel tanks and leak protection with regard to
Eagle River;

S-ecial Review Use - Time Share
Public Hearing
Continued from 10/1/85 Regular Meeting
INTRODUCTION:
ALV Venture and Resort America Development Corporation have filed an application
for a Special Review Use to allow time sharing on Lot 45, Block 2, Benchmark at
Beaver Creek. Lot 45 is currently zoned RHLD, which does not include time share
as an allowed or Special Review Use.
This application was filed in conjunction with a request to rezone Lots 45 and 46,
Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek to RHDC, which does allow time share as a
Special Rcvi2vt Use: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and
reviewed the requested zone change at the October 1, 1985 m�etinq. Following the
public hearing, the Commission recommended Town Council deny the requested zone
change.
The Town Council was presented an Ordinance at the October 8, 1985 meeting which
would change the zoning of Lots 45 and 46 from P.HLD to RHDC. The Town Council
approved this Ordinance on first reading and scheduled a public hearing for the
October 22, 1985 Council meeting.
The Town Manager and Town Attorney has recommended action on this Special Review
Use application be tabled until public hearings and final action on the requested
zone change has been completed bw Town Council. If the zone change is not
approved, action on this Special Review Use would be inappropriate since the
requested use is not allowed in the existing zone district.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Town Council has requested a more detailed report from the Planning and Zoning
Commission regarding the Commission's recommendation for action on the requested
zone change. This report would be considered along with input received at the
public hearing prior to final action on the requested zone change. The attached
report is a Staff summary of our interpretation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission action at the October 1, 1985 meeting. We recommend the Commission
adopt this report as written, or modify as deemed appropriate, and that the
adopted report be forwarded to the Town Council for their consideration.

MEMO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Town Council Members
FROM: Avon Planning and Zoning Commission
DATE: October 15, 1985
RE: Requested Zone Change from RHLD to RHDC
Lots 45 and 46, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered a zone change request for Lots
45 and 46, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. The application was to revise
the zoning to RHDC from RHLD. An alternate request was presented at the
meeting to revise the zoning code to allow time share as a `_special Review Use
in the RHLD Zone District in lieu of the requested zone change.
Following a public hearing on the requested zone change, the Commission
recommended Council deny the requested zone change from RHLD to RHDC, and also
the amended request to allow time share as a Special Review Use in the RHLD
Zone District. This recommendation was based upon:
a) The RHDC Zone District allows commercial uses, such as automobile
service stations, which are not compatible with existing and allowed
uses in the surrounding area;
b) The increased densities and building heights allowed in the RHDC Zone
District are inconsistent and incompatible with existing development
in the surrounding area;
c) The impact of allowing time share as a Special Review Use in the RHLD
Zone District extends far beyond Lots 45 and 46. The RHLD Zone District
encompasses all the residential development around Nottingham Lake plus
Benchmark Condominiums and Sunridge Phase I. Time share, as a Special
Review Use, would be incom--`4ble with much of the existing development
in this Zone District: -
d) Consideration was given to the strong public opposition from neighboring
property owners.
While a major portion of the discussion was directed at time share and its
potential impacts, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation was based
upon other factors as well. The potential impacts of the requested zone change
are far greater than merely allowing time share on Lot 45. Commercial uses,
densities, and building heights allowed in the RHDC Zone District has the
potential for significantly more impact on surrounding areas than a time share
project on Lot 45.
The Commission strongly recommends Council consider all these factors, and not
just the time share issue, before final action on the requested zone change.

Wynfield Inn - Landscape Plan Design Review
Continued from 9/17/85 Regular Meeting
INTRODUCTION:
At the September 17, 1985 meeting, the Commission gave final design approval,
with conditions, to the Wynfield Inn. This current submittal deals with the
landscaping plan only. At the previous meeting, the Commission members
expressed concerns and made some suggestions regarding the landscaping of the
green area immediately adjacent to the building. The Commission felt that the
selection of plant materials in that area was critical, in that considering the
size of the building, the landscaped strip alnng the building would not have
any impact unless there were some plant massings in that area, possibly some
evergreens, etc. Also, concern was expressed that unless there were substantial
plantings in that area, the landscaping would be lost under the snow in the
winter time.
The current landscaping plan calls for the use of Aspen, Blue Spruce, Green Ash,
Cottonless Cottonwood, Lodgepole Pine, and Rocky Mountain Birch, as well as
various shrubs and ground covers. The actual greenspace shown on this plan
covers approximately 19% of the site.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The only real concern that the Staff has regarding this plan has to do with
the site distance at the exit to the parking lot on the southwest side of the
project. The plantings in this area should be arranged to provide adequate
site distance for vehicles entering and exiting the site in this location.
If the Commission finds this plan acceptable, approval of the landscape plan
should be given with the conditions of the previous approval regarding submittal
of revised grading, drainage, and utility plans, acquisition of adequate
develop -Ont rights, and recording of the final plat for Wynfield Subdivision
remaining to be addressed at future meetings.
