STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 8/15/85
Lodge at Avon Subdivision
(Formerly Lots 57-60, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek)
Phase I - Design Review
INTRODUCTION:
At the November 29, 1984 meeting, the Commission gave final approval, with
conditions, to the Lodge at Avon, Phase I. At that time, the project consisted
of 31 condominium units and approximately 13,500 SF of commercial space.
Following design approval, the project received approval of a Special Review
Use to convert to time sharing at the May 30, 1985 meeting. The approval was
conditional on the applicant getting the project reapproved for compatibility
as a time share project, and getting approval of a revised Preliminary Plat and
related documents as required for a time share project.
The proposed design has been modified to be more compatible as a time share
project. The exterior of the building and the site plan are essentially the
same as previously approved. The current design calls for 62, 1 bedroom units
ranging in size from 439 SF to 769 SF, Flus 13,039 SF of commercial area. The
unit sizes, as presented, would utilize 23 1/6 of the 70 Development Richts
currently assigned to the site.
The exterior of the building would be a combination of vertical cedar siding,
cedar shake roof, and stucco. The colors that r:ere previously approved are:
Olympic stain #906, a gray -green color for the vertical cedar sidina; white
trim around the windows and doors; the stucco forming the covered pedestrian
walkways would be MB71-11 coral, with the remaining stucco to be an off-white,
196H Penguin; the vertical wood columns on the first level would be a seafoam
color; the entry doors would be an everglade color or gray -green; and the roof
would be a natural cedar shake shingle.
The landscaping consists of Aspen trees along the parking lot, Mountain Ash
around the building, and a combination of cottonless Cottonwood, Potentilla,
and Redtwio Dogwood on the east side of the project along Avon Road. The
plan also shows some lighting along the parking lot.
The site plan shows a total of 136 parking spaces, 20 of which are located in the
area along Avon Road that is to be leased from the State Highway Department.
STAFF COMMENTS:
1. The buildino plans call for the use of 12" x 12" alass blocks at the entry.
These blocks may only be allowed with special approval from the Commission;
2. The proposed layout of the commercial space does not qualify the project as
a large mixed-use project. The parking requirements must be based on actual
uses of the commercial spaces. If all commercial space is considered as
general retail, the total parking requirements are 114 spaces. A
restaurant within the project would increase the requirements accordingly.
One hundred sixteen parking spaces are indicated on the site plan;

3. The parking spaces on the Avon Road right-of-way, or accessed from the
Highway Department access, cannot be considered permanent and thus should
not be counted toward the total parking requirement;
4. The submittal does not include a color rendering of the project;
5. The submittal is incomplete and does not include adequate dimensions to
verify the building size or location, or the sizes of the units. The
submittal should only be considered as preliminary, or final approval
conditioned upon Staff approval of complete submittal package or approval
of a revised Preliminary Plat.

STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 8/15/85
Tract Q, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Wendy's Restaurant
Design Review
Continued from 4/25/85 Regular Meeting
INTRODUCTION:
The most recent action taken by ti- Commission on this project was at the April
25, 1985 meeting. At that time the conceptual design for the Wendy's at Avon
was approved with recommended conditions. Those conditions were: that applicant
obtain a front lot setback variance; that useable open space requirements be
resolved; that final design approval comply with all applicable zoning require-
ments and subdivision regulations; dedication of public access easement across
Tract Q or development or satisfactory cross -access agreement between Tract Q
North and Tract Q South; development and review of detailed site plan including:
site grading and drainage; deliniation of snow storage areas; site bearings,
dimensions, building location ties, building dimensions and other details as
re-luired for final design review.
At that same meeting, the Commission approved the variance request for a 0
front lot setback for the drive-through canopy and screen wall, and a 15 foot
setback for the building itself.
The applicant is also proposing to make a change in the configuration of the
drive-through canopy. Instead of the canopy over the drive-through, they would
like to put up a screen wall of river rock and horizontal wood siding to match
the building finish. The reasoning behind this change is to avoid over-heiaht
vehicles entering the drive-through area and damaging the canopy, or causing
traffic problems trying to back out of the area. The proposed change in the
screen wall would incorporate one of the two "Wendy's" signs. This particular
sign would be an interior -lit box sign. The other sign would be located on the
south fascia of the building and would consist of individual letters that will
be back -lit.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The submittal does not have adequate dimensions to verify the building sloe
or location, parking requirements, snow storage, landscaping, or useable
open space;
Apparent numbers for open space, snow storage, and parking requirements:
A. With revisions to the Final Plat, the actual site area for Wendy's has
been reduced from 22,215 SF to approximately 21,359 SF. The useable
open space is divided between landscaped areas and pedestrian areas.
Without a complete, detailed site plan, it is not possible to accurately
define the useable open space and snow storage. The following percentages
are only approximate. The landscaped areas account for 14.5% of the site
area, and the pedestrian areas account for 8.5' of the site area;

B. The snow storage calculations are based on paved surface of approxi-
mately 12,440 SF. The areas shown on the snow storage plan provide
approximately 21% of the area for snow storage;
C. As for the parking requirements, again we can only provide approximate
numbers. By determining the seating area from measuring the schematic
floor plans, there appears to be approximately 880 SF of seating area.
The parking requirements for this type of restaurant call for 1 parking
space per every 60 SF of seating area, or in this case, a total
requirement of 15 spaces. The site plan shows 22 spaces.
if the Commission finds the plans acceptable, final approval should be conditioned
upon:
a. Submittal of detailed drawings that confirm the above numbers and compliance
with regulations;
b. Approval and recording of the Final Subdivision Plat for Tract Q, Block 2,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek;
c. Approval should be contingent upon Highway Department approval of change
in access use.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Introduce project;
2. Presentation by applicant;
3. Staff comments;
4. Commission review of submitted materials;
5. Act on application.

Continued from 7/25/85 Regular Meeting

INTRODUCTION:
At the July 25, 1985 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission
4' approved the overall design of the Water Treatment Plant contingent on three
conditions:
1. The applicant obtain a variance to put parking spaces in the lot setback
on the west side of the project;
2. The applicant address the drainage concerns of the Staff;
3. The garage doors should be painted the same color as the walls of the
building.
FF COMMENTS:
Staff has received a revised grading and drainage plan for the site that addresses
the drainage concerns. The applicant has applied for a variance to put the parking
spaces in the lot setback on the west side of the project, and the applicant has
agreed to paint the garage doors the same color as the rest of the building.
The parking requirements for the project are 8 parking spaces and 1 loadina space.
This number was determined on the basis of the square footage of the administrative
section of the Water Treatment Plant. This area is approximately 2,620 SF. The
requirement for this type of project is 3 spaces per every 1,000 SF of area. This
calculates out to a total of 8 spaces for the administrative area. The current
plan shows only 7 spaces and the loading space. The parkina situation cannot be
completely resolved until the variance to put parking in the setback area is
either granted or denied.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Introduce project;
2. Presentation by applicant;
3. Staff comments;
4. Planning and Zoning Commission review of submitted materials;
5. Act on application.

Preliminary Design Review
INTRODUCTION:
Applicant has requested a Preliminary design review of a 10 unit condominium
project on Lot 16, Block 1, Nildridge. The plans include a site plan showing
the proposed building locations, driveways and parking areas, and proposed
grading of the site. Typical floor plans for the units have also been submitted.
The buildings are identical, each containing 5 units. These are made up of 2,
2 bedroom units, and 3, one bedroom units. The property is currently allocated
4 Development Rights. The applicant proposes to build the 1 bedroom units, not
to exceed 600 SF each, thereby using 1/3 of a Development Right per unit, for a
total of 2 Development Rights. The 2 bedroom units will not exceed 800 SF, for
a total of 2 Development Rights.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The site plan is incomplete in that it does not have bearings or dimensions. The
setback areas are shown, but not labeled, and there is no landscaping plan with
the submittal. The applicant has supplied elevations of the proposed buildings,
but there is no description of the proposed finish or colors to be used on the
buildings. The applicant should be made aware that before the development
receives a Certificate of Occupancy, the unit areas must be verified in order to
establish that they are indeed the sizes proposed. If there is any variation
significant enough to increase the square footage of any unit beyond the limits
defined in the Fractionalization Ordinance (600 SF maximum for the 1/3 Develop-
ment Right, and 800 SF maximum for the 1/2 Development Right), the developer
must obtain the additional Development Rights prior to being granted the
Certificate of Occupancy.
Prior to being given final approval of this project, the Staff would like to
review a complete site development plan and landscaping plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Introduce project;
Presentation by applicant;
Staff comments;

Preliminary Plat, Zone Charge, and SPA Plan
Amendment
INTRODUCTION:
Section 36, Inc. a Colorado Corporation and owner of Swift Gulch Addition, and
Tract Y, Block 1, Benhcmark at Beaver Creek have requested a zone change and
SPA Plan Amendment in conjunction with a request for Preliminary Plat approval.
The proposed Preliminary Plat provides for the inclusion of the easterly 1.36
acres of Tract Y into Parcel 1 of Swift Gulch Addition. The stated purpose of
this change is to provide a more safe and convenient vehicular access to Parcel
1 and to provide better space for building between I-70 and Swift Gulch Road.
Swift Gulch is currently zoned SPA and Tract Y is currently zoned OLD (Open Space,
Landscaping and Drainage). The proposed zone change would convert the easterly
1.36 acres of Tract Y from OLD to SPA, making it a portion of the Swift Gulch
SPA in conformance with proposed Preliminary Plat. No other changes to the
Swift Gulch SPA Plan are included in requested action.
The required Notices of Public Hearing have been mailed and posted.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The requested zone change and Preliminary Plat are directly related and should be
considered together. Discussions with applicant revealed that access to Swift
Gulch, Parcel 1, was originally intended to be across this particular portion
of Tract Y to the Town of Avon with an access easement across Parcel 1 from a
future entrance from Swift Gulch Road.
The proposed replat and zone change is located in Development District Four.
The following Policies and Goals for Development District Four may be pertinent
in evaluating the requested zone change and replat:
A. Community Facilities - Goals
1. Promote natural and landscaped open space, parks, playgrounds, and
campgrounds;
2. Encourage the acquisition of sites for municipal service and recreational
facilities;
