PZC Packet 050686STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 5/6/86 Eaglebend Sketch Plan East of Nottingham Station and North of Eagle River Eaglebend Subdivision and Zoning INTRODUCTION: A petition for annexation of the Eaglebend Subdivision has been filed with, and accepted by the Avon Town Council. The annexation ordinance has been approved on first reading and is scheduled for public hearing and second reading on May 27, 1986. The Eaglebend Subdivision was previously approved by Eagle County and is located between the Eagle River and the Denver Rio Grande and Western Railway railroad tracks east of Nottingham Station Addition. The annexation also includes the Frank Doll property and residence. The annexation petition included an annexation agreement which stipulates that zoning is to be assigned concurrently with final annexation action. The applicant is requesting SPA zoning for the proposed annexation. The requested action at this meeting is for an informal (conceptual) review of the proposed subdivision and zoning. This report will be broken down into each of these categories to hopefully simplify and clarify the process. SUBDIVISION: The subdivision process establishes the boundaries between the vas•ious types of development within the proposed SPA zone district. The proposed subdivision has a total area of 33.6 acres which would be divided into six distinct areas. Streets and utilities are generally in place as a result of the previously approved Eagle County subdivision. Some minor modifications to the utility systems will be required to conform with the proposed subdivision. These will require review and approval of the various utility companies and districts. Access to the site and streets within the site will be addressed in a detailed subdivision agreement as a part of final plat approval. ZONING: The zoning process for the requested SPA zone district establishes the development rights and allowed uses within the district as well as other zoning regulations such as building height, building setbacks, building area ratios and parking. This project has been broken into six distinct areas with varying regulations per each. Area I is located immediately west of the entrance from Highway 6 and has a total area of 2.9 acres. The proposed uses in this area include residential, commercial and community recreational facilities for the residents and guests of the subdivision. The applicant has requested 67 residential development rights, or 23.1 per acre for this area. The proposed uses and density for this area is generally consistent with those allowed in the RHDC zone districts. Staff Report to Planning & Zoning Commission - 5/6/86 Eaglebend Sketch Plan East of Nottingham Station and North of Eagle River Eaglebend Subdivision and Zoning Page 2 of 6 Area II is located between Area I and the Frank Doll property and residence. Area II consists of 7.6 acres and the applicant has requested 83 residential development rights, or 10.9 per acre for this area. The proposed uses and density for this area are similar to those allowed in the RMD zone districts. Area III is located immediately east of the entrance from Highway 6 and consists of 6.5 acres. This area has twelve existing residential units which were built as a part of the Stonebridge project as approved by Eagle County. The applicant is requesting the assignment of development rights to allow the construction of six additional residential units similar to the existing units plus a separate unit for an on-site manager. This would be a total of 19 residential development rights, or 2.9 per acre. The proposed density and use is generally consistent with that allowed in the RMD zone districts. Area IV is located at the easterly end of the subdivision between the existing street and the railroad tracks. Area IV consists of 3.2 acres and 32 residential development rights, or 10 per acre are requested for l.nis area for the development of townhomes. This use and density is similar to those allowed in the RMD zone districts. Area V is located at the easterly end of the subdivision between the existing street and the Eagle River. Area V consists of 19 lots totalling 11.9 acres. The applicant is requesting that each of these lots be assigned two residential development rights which would be consistent with previous Eagle County approvals. There is an existing single family residence on Lot 19. The remainder of Area V is undeveloped, although a number of lots were sold by the original developer. Area VI is the Frank Doll property located at the westerly end of the proposed annexation and consists of 1.5 acres. This area has an existing single family residence. The assignment of two residential development rights to allow the possible future development of a second unit on the site has been requested. STAFF COMMENTS: This is an informal (conceptual) review and should be used to provide guidance to the applicant regarding the requested zoning and proposed uses. The requested SPA zone district also requires the approval of the site plan which establishes allowable densities, uses, parking requirements and other zoning matters such as setbacks, building heights, building area ratios and open space requirements.

Introduce project and requested action; 2. Presentation by applicant; 3. Commission review and comment: Subdivision Zoning Area I Zoning Area II Zoning Area III Zoning Area IV Zoning Area V Zoning Area VI (Provide specific comments and direction to applicant). Respectfully Submitted, Norm Wood Director of Engineering and Community Development NW/mml STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 5/6/86 Eaglebend - Area II and Area III Design Review - Conceptual INTRODUCTION: A conceptual design review for the proposed development of Area II and Area III has been requested. The conceptual review of these two areas should be separated in order to clarify any direction to applicant. AREA II: The proposed development on Area II consists of eleven identical buildings with ten condominium units and ten covered parking spaces in each. The units would vary in size from 725 square foot, one bedroom units to 1,450 square foot, three bedroom units. Each building would be three stories plus a loft for the third level units. Building materials indicated are redwood or cedar siding with standing seam metal roof. Based upon available information, each building would require seven residential development rights and 19 parking spaces for a total of 77 residential development rights and 21.9 parking spaces which includes 10 guest spaces as required. The sketch plan indicates 237 parking spaces will be available for this area. Eighty-three residential development rights have been requested for this area. AREA III: Proposed development of Area III consists of six residential units similar to the existing units, two garages similar to existing garages and an additional building which would contain a residential unit for an on-site manager and spa facilities for residents and guests. A cluster of four residential units would be located at the westerly end of the area and a cluster of two residential units would be located at the easterly end of the area. The on-site managers unit and spa would be located near the northwesterly corner of Area III. The proposed garages would be located along the northerly boundary of the area. Drawings have not been provided for the residential units or the garages. The managers unit and spa is a two story building with wood siding and cedar shake shingle roof. The drawings also indicate that some stone will be used on the building. STAFF COMMENTS: AREA II: The following comments are offered in response to a cursory Staff review of the conceptual site development plans for area II: The parking and driveway areas do not meet 10 feet front yard setback requirement; Staff Report to Planning & Zoning Commission - 5/6/86 Eaglebend - Area II and Area III Design Review - Conceptual Page 2 of 3 STAFF COMMENTS, CONT.: AREA II, CONT.: 2. It may be desireable to have common access easement or agreement between Area I and Area II to provide for possibility of separate development of the two areas; 3. The landscaping within the street right-of-way may not be prac!:ical due to width and grades involved; 4. The landscape plan appears to utilize a large number of pinyon pines, which seem to have only limited success in this area; 5. Pedestrian walkways are not shown on the site plan. This would seem to indicate that all access to the units will be through the garages; 6. Parking area lighting is not indicated. AREA III: Six of the proposed additional units are to be similar to the existing units on this site. Consequently, Staff recommends the Commission concentrate on the proposed design of the on-site managers unit, SPA and the site development plan. Some of the issues are: 1. Are the proposed building locations appropriate? 2. Can the additional parking and garages be appropriately located to conform with the 10 foot front yard setback? The above comments are based upon the limited information available. It is presumed that detailed drawings providing the additional information specified in the Planning and Zoning Commission Procedures, Rules and Regulations will be provided prior to request for final design review approval. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Introduce Area II design; 2. Applicant presentation; Commission review and comment; 4 introduce Area III design; 5. Applicant presentation; 6. Commission review and comment. Staff Report to Planning & Zoning Commission - 5/6/86 Eaglebend - Area II and Area III Design Review - Conceptual Page 3 of 3 Respectfully Submitted, Norm Wood Director of Engineering and Community Development NW/mml STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 5/6/86 Lot 72, Block 2, Buck Creek Plaza Design Review INTRODUCTION: Benchmark at Beaver Creek - Unit 6 - Greenhouse Addition Pat and Rick Cuny, owners of Unit 6, Buck Creek Plaza, have applied for design review of a proposed greenhouse addition to their property. The proposed greenhouse addition would enclose the balcony area directly in front of Unit 6. The applicant has submitted photographs showing the exterior of this area of the building as it exists, along with a product brochure identifying the style of structure proposed for the addition. There is also a letter from three of the officers of the Buck Creek Condominium Association granting the applicant permission to construct the addition. STAFF COMMENTS: The Commission has granted approval for this type of addition in the past. The previous submittals for greenhouse additions included floor plans and elevations showing the relationship of the proposed addition to the existing improvements, along with details for the connection of the addition to the existing building. The photos and brochure submitted with this application do not provide this level of detail. This information would be helpful in this case as the addition may possibly result in the snow from the roof in this area being shed onto the driveway to the project. The Commission should decide whether or not to accept this application as submitted, or request additional information from the applicant. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: If design review approval is granted on this application, Staff would suggest that the following conditions be made a part of such approval: 1. That a letter be submitted that would indicate approval of the Condominium Association rather than approval of the officers. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: 1. Introduce project; 2. Presentation by applicant; 3. Commission review of submitted materials; 4. Act on application in accordance with attached design review guidelines.

Rbl!mnil itions (� ix) Withdrawn r7 • 1_ON STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 5/6/86 Lot 7, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision • Suncrest Townhomes, Phase II Irrigation System • INTRODUCTION: At the meeting of April 15, 1986, the Cc-,ission concurred with Staff that the I approved plans for this project included the installation of an automatic irrigation system for the landscaping. Since that meeting, Staff has received a letter from the developer, a copy of which is attached to this report, stating the reasons that the developer feels an automatic irrigation system is not necessary. Staff would like the Commission to review the information on this particular project and reaffirm their decision of April 15, 1986, if the Commission feels that it is appropriate. STAFF COMMENTS: When the developer approached the Town for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy on this project, the Town attached conditions to the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, which are attached to this report, and demanded that an Irrevocable Letter of Credit be opened that world cover the cost of those items not completed at the time of the issuance of the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The amounts in the letter of credit were tied to specific contracts that were submitted by contractors, and accepteJ by the developer, for the completion of the landscaping, driveway grading and paving, trash enclosure and entry lighting for the project. In the bid for the landscaping, the developer accepted a bid of $4,118.50 from Eagle Valley Landscaping and Nursery, which includes $1,600.00 for one automatic irrigation system 4 zone, installed. A copy of this bid is attached to this report. Staff feels that the notes on the approved plans, and the acceptance of the bid for the landscaping by the developer, indicates the intention to install that system and Staff would recommend that the Commission direct the developer to comply with the approved plans. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Introduce project; 2. Presentation by applicant; 3. Commission review of submitted material; 4. Act on application.
