Wynfield Inn - Design Review
Continued from 8/29/85 Regular Meeting
INTRODUCTION:
At the August 29, 1985 meeting, the Commission gave the Wynfield Inn conceptual
approval with regard to building design. The revised design generally consists
of a 150 room hotel, with on-site facilities including laundry and storage area,
swimming pool, and separate administration building. Proposed building material
is stucco, and the construction is modular. The general design of the building
includes a flat -roofed structure with the exterior highlighted by broad horizontal
bands and false balconies. Site plan includes pole mounted and bollard type
lighting, system patterned, colored concrete walkways, bus shelters, paved drive,
and parking for 150 cars. Proposed signage totals 122 square feet consisting
of two 35 square foot wall signs, one 28 square foot wall sign, and one double -
sided freestanding sign with 12 square feet per side. Proposed signs are emerald
green formed metal letters with back lighting.
The Commission expressed concerns regarding the amount and location of landscaping
and the visibility of the parking area. The applicant was directed to work on
these two items and to bring some alternative plans to the next meeting.
Revised sketches have been submitted which show two different landscaping schemes,
a site develor„lent plan, and building elevations.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The revised drawings show the applicant has made an effort to address the concerns
expressed at the previous meeting. Staff, after review, suggested applicant pre-
pare another alternate landscape plan showing portions of the parking lots at the
property line and increasing the green space along the building; combining some
of the islands in the parking area to form larger islands of landscaping; and
consider placing some landscaping in the Interstate Highway right-of-way north of
the project.
The following information shown on the plans regarding square footages, and per-
centages of open space, etc., has been verified, but should be reconfirmed for
compliance with Town regulations after Subdivision Plan and site plan are finalized.

INTRODUCTION
12, T5S, R82W (Formerly known as the White
and Design Review
A conceptual plan for development of a portion of the White/Eagle River
Townhouse Associates, Ltd., annexation was reviewed by the Commission at the
regular meeting of August 29, 1985. The proposed development consisted of
an 1840 square foot convenience store, 2159 square foot automobile service
station with a car wash and approximately 3500 square feet for future
development, as office space.
The applicant was given conceptual approval with regard to the proposed
uses and the general design of the building. A number of possible problems
were addressed during the review, including, environmental issues, site
circulation, and access to the remainder of the site. The applicant was
given direction to provide details for the resolution of these problems in
the development of the final design.
AFF COMMENTS:
The applicant has submitted revised drawings showing additional details and
addressing problems expressed at the previous meeting. The revised drawings
define the limits of Phase I of the S.P.A. Development Plan as being the
Easterly 1.298 acres of the Tract formerly known as the Grace White Property.
The proposed site development consists of:
Eagle River 0.227 acres
Useable Open Space (Pervious) 0.465 acres
Building Area 0.139 acres
Parking & Drive (Impervious) 0.467 acres

The proposed building design has been modified somewhat from the original
presentation but does maintain the same general lines, configuration, and
materials. The automobile service doors have been relocated to the North
side of the building away from Highway 6. Parking for this portion of the
project has also been relocated to the North side away from the highway.
More parking spaces have been provided in the area near the Convenience Store,
and gasoline pumps have been relocated for better circulation. The site
grading and drainage plan has been modified to provide for treatment of
runoff from all parking and drive areas including fueling areas.
The applicant has also provided sketches showing schematic plans for possible
future development of the remainder of the site.
SITE ISSUES:
1) The parking and driveway grades seem to be somewhat excessive with
8 percent being the dominant grade. The fueling area under the building
is shown with a 10 percent grade.
2) Existing vegetation is not shown, including large trees along the
river.
3) The landscape plan calls for very minimal plantings, especially
between the site and Highway 6.
4) Site circulation and function would seem to be improved by locating
fuel pumps on the North side of the building, at least twelve feet
from the building due to tight radius of the drive.
5) Loading space is inaccessible and could be more functional if located
in the available area on the North side of the building.
6) Site plan should at least indicate general location of access to
future phases.
MASTER PLAN ISSUES:
The Proposed Development is located in Development District Five. Consideration
of the following Working Goals may be desirable in considering the appropriateness
of the proposed development and site plan:
1) Promote the development of non-residential uses provided they are
compatible with surrounding residential uses and accommodate improvements
in the pedestrian and vehicular circulation system.
2) Provide for the safe separation of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular
traffic.
3) Promote natural and landscaped open space, parks, playgrounds, and
pedestrian malls.
4) Promote the creation of a Riverfront Park that provides for a variety
of aquatic sports, passive recreational activities, public access by
means of continuous paths and bikeways, the protection of streambank
vegetation, adjacent flood plains,wildlife habitat, historical
buildings, and residential privacy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Commission previously indicated conceptual approval for the proposed
uses and general building design, subject to the applicant addressing a
number of concerns. Staff recommends the Commission review the proposed
uses and site plan for conformance with the adopted Working Goals for Develop-
ment District Five. If the proposed project is found to generally comply with
the Working Goals then Preliminary or Final approval subject to conditions
may be appropriate.
MAE
The following conditions may be appropriate for approval:
1) The loading space be converted to parking space and the loading
space be shown on the Northerly side of the project.
2) Efforts be made to reduce parking and driveway grades, especially
the fueling area located under a portion of the building.
3) Consideration be given to locating gas pumps on the North side of
the building at least twelve feet from building curb.
4) Landscape plan be revised to include more and larger materials,
and resubmitted for review and approval.
5) Additional details be provided with regard to access to future development
phases of the project.
6) The applicant consider construction of a bike path/walkway from the
proposed driveways to the lower level between retaining walls and
the river.
7) Detailed design be submitted for retaining walls and that wall facing
materials be specified with approval.
8) The applicant consider dedication of the open area between the retaining
walls and Eagle River as a riverfront park open to the public.
9) Additional details be provided for future review and approval of
proposed sign program.
10) Any specific conditions related to building design such as general
design characteristics, colors, materials, roof overhang, and etc.
