R81W at tlp 6th P.M., Eagle County, CO Public Hearing Wood stated that zoning is for the Eaglebend area. This area has been proposed for annexation to the Town and as a condition of annexation, there is a pre -annexation agreement which stipulates that the zoning shall be assigned concurrently with the annexation. The area consists of a total of approximately 33.6 acres. In orc'ar to simplify the zoning process and to break it down into the areas of different types of development 3s proposed within it, we have broken it down into 6 different areas. Area I is the more dense of the proposed area running approximately 23 units per acre. Area II is less dense with eleven, ten unit condominiums proposed. Area III is the area of existing development. The only chance they are proposing from what was approved in the previous Cou-.?ty approval for that area is the addition of a spa and on-site managers unit for a total of 19 proposed units. Area V is the existing duplex lots located between the road and the river. This is as was approved through Eagle County. Area IV development is requesting 32 townhomes. Area VI is the Frank Doll residence and there is basically M change. Art Wise, architect and land planner of the project stated that Inter -Mountain Engineering is also working on this project. Wise presented site plan of Area I and II and explained those to Commission. Wise then explained proposed development from model along with drawings submitted.

He stated that in Area I, there are a proposed 67 RDR's, which then would allow development of the 90 residential units. They are proposing to fractionalize the 67 RDR's into 90 residential units. The maximum building height is 90 feet which would include 2 levei;s of structured parking with 1 parking space for each residential unit. If the structured parking is not provided, then the building height would be limited to 70 feet. Area II is requesting B3 RDR's with a maximum building height of 45 feet. Area III has proposed 1 RDR per lot or tract and building height is 35 feet. Area IV is requesting 32 RDR's and a maximum building heig:it of 35 feet. Area V is requesting 2 RDR's per lot or 19 lots for a total of 38 RDR's. Blair then opened the public hearing. Wood stated That a letter was received from the Denver Rio Grande and Western Railway on May 19, 1966 stating that if t`ie Town does grant the requested approval of the change to SPA by Eaglebend, the following 3 conditions, which their company feels should be met to preserve the public safety, be made conditions to the granting of the application sought by the above referenced applicant: 1) that applicant, Eaglebend construct and maintain a 6 foot high heavy gauge chain link fence to =�parat_ their proposed development and the railroad right-of-way; 2) that no vehicles or individuals using the proposed development be allowed to enter upon or cross the right-of-way except at established public crossings. Type of protection to be determined by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission; 3) that when the referenced application is heard by the Commission, that this letter be made a part of the proceedings. Wise stated that they propose to upgrade the fence and make a sound barrier type with landscaping along it. Sue Railton, owner of Lot 19 spoke from the audience and stated that there ii currently a wooden fence in place, which is falling to pieces and felt that a wooden fence would not be very secure nor effective as a sound or visual barrier. Frank Doll, owner of the single family residence in Area VI spoke from the audience and stated that he had no objection to the anne>.ation or zoning. Chris Ekrem, owner of Lot 15 spoke from the audience and stated that her background is in architectural design, which she has a degree in and has done private residential architectural planning for the last 30 years. He concerns centered on building heights, roads, property taxes, commercial development, and the credibility of the uevelopers. She did not feel she hate been fairly represented in the zoning or annexation process. She did not feel that the riew plan related at all to what was presented in the old plan for Eaglebend.

Dave Krenek of Upper Eagle Valley Sanitation District presented a map regarding the raw water line for Metcalf Ditch. Donaldson requested a response to Ekrem's comments. Art Kleinstein, developer of the project stated they have been working on the annexation proposal for a year or so and have owned the property for about 7 years. He explained that the Stonebridge project was not particularly successful and they were trying to find a use for the property to provide a service or accommodation that would be most needed for the valley. One of the benefits of annexation was a re -doing of the plat and coming up with the density and a product that would be viable. He stated that they worked with Staff for a year or so and the annexation proposal was received favorably by the Commission and Staff. One of the things they tried not to do was to change Area V because of existing homeowner's that they had to satisfy. What is proposed has not altered in any way any of the existing homeowner's. He explained that they had concurrence from the Stonebridge people who have the second largest home ownership in the area. They received the required number of signatures for the annexation agreement and then proceeded to notify homeowner's and work with Staff to get a pian acceptable to everyone. G,arsbach asked how many :lots of Lots 1-19 were owned by EaglEbend. Kleinstein stated that 10 were owned. Gersbach asked how many Stonebridge unit_ had been sold. Kleinstein =Mated that Stonebridge owns 24 units, 12 have been built, and of the 12, 3 have been sold. Discussion followed on annexation process. Railton st«ted that she had concerns of the traffic flow at build -out of the project. Wise explained access to project from plans submitted. Discussion followed. Blair then closed the public hearing. Wood then reviewed requested uses for Areas I -VI, along with recommendations by Sta+f. Wood stated that Resolution 86-1 was structured to either recommend approval or disapproval. He then reviewed findings criteria in Resolution 86-1 with Commission members. Comments included: 1) The density and uses seem to be compatible with the general area; 2) There is general harmony with the character of the neighborhood; 3) Strick from Resolution; 4) There is a positive effect on the immediate area; 5) The increasing population base increases economic opportunities for facilities within Avon; 6) Exceptions from the Ordinance primarily deal with 90 foot building height, in that in conventional building districts, the maximum height is 80 feet and the other exception deals with setbacks for parking. Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes May 20, 1986 Page c of 5 Eaglebend - SPA Zoning Request - Ordinance 86-12 - Public Hearing. Con t. The 90 foot building height is based upon 2 levels of structured parking and increased amount of useable open space and allows the provision of on-site amenities including Bennis courts and swimming pool, which might not be possible with a lower building height; 7) The developed properties are similar to the proposed development and the proposed development is sucn that the u^.developed properties have a variety of options for development which would be compatible with the proposed development; 8) This area is immediately adjacent to District 5 of the development plan and the same goals and objectives should be appropriate for this site; 9) Roads are adequate; 10) Water and utilities are adequate; 11) There is a large area of open space and access to the Eagle River along with recreational amenities on-site; 12) It is possible for i creative innovation of the property. After review of -.-'iteria, the Commission made modifications to Exhibit "B". Area I - 56 RDR's rather than 67 RDR's; maximum building area ratio of 35% rather than 50%; and minimum useable open space at 35% rather than 25% which includes outdoor recreational facilities such as tennis courts and swimmi-19 pools. Area II - Maximum building area ratio at 25% rather than 50%; and reduce designated building setback requirements by 2 feet at a minimum distance of 10 feet above ground level.
