Lots 73/74, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Wynfield Inn - Design Review
INTRODUCTION:
At the October 15, 1985 meeting, the Wynfield Inn received final design review
approval for a 150 room hotel on Lots 29 and 32, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision.
The developer has now applied for design review of the same basic project to be
located one lot to the west, the former Savoy Square property which is Lot 73/74,
Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision.
The proposed project consists of a 150 room hotel with a separate building
serving as a check-in facility and public building. Amenities include a
swimming pool and jacuzzi. Parking for 150 cars is provided on-site.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The proposed buildings are much the same as was approved on the previous site.
The main building is four stories high consisting of two wings of guest rooms
connected by a central core housing elevators, mechanical equipment, and
housekeeping services. Exterior finishes include stucco, which is proposed tc
be Amarillo White with accent bands of Desert Taupe. Sloped roof areas will
have asphalt shingles.
The proposed development will require the use of 38 Residential Development
Rights, fractionalized as follows:
147 accommodation units @ approximately 365 sq.ft. each
147 x 1/4 = 36 3/4 Development Rights
2 accommodation units @ approximately 770 sq.ft. each
2 x 1/2 = 1 Development Right
TOTAL = 37 3/4 or 38 Development Rights
One potential unit has been indicated as a ski storage area. If this unit were
to be developed as an accommodation unit, the project would still be using only
38 Development Rights. Town records indicate 71 Residential Development Rights
are available on this site.

STAFF COMMENTS, CON'T.:
A review of the submitted plans resulted in the following information:
Lot coverage by impervious materials = 72% of site
Useable open space = 28% of site
Snow storage required = 10,280 sq.ft.
*Snow storage provided = 3,760 sq.ft.
Off-street parking required = 150 spaces
Off-street parking provided = 150 spaces
Maximum allowable building height = 80 feet
Proposed maximum building height = 50 feet
Building area allowed = 50% of site
Building area proposed = 19.5% of site
Proposed sign area = 122 sq.ft.
*Section 17.20.190 Sow Storage D.:
D. Upon the demonstration to the town (1) that an appropriate alternative
snow -storage site is available for removal of snow to an off-site location
suitable and available for such purpose, meeting with the approval of the
director of public works, and (2 that arrangements for the off-site removal
have been made in a manner assuring the continuation of such practice, the
foregoing requirements for on-site snow -disposal areas may be waived by
the reviewing body of the town. (Ord. 83-2 S1).
It is recommended that signage for this project be treated through an overall
sign program. Under the Sign Code approved January 28, 1986, the project is
allowed to have one residential project entrance sign of no more than 32 square
feet. Under a sign program, the Commission may allow up to fifty percent
increases in sign areas or heights without requiring a variance request. The
entrance sign proposed is a total of 44 square feet.
The other three signs for the project total 78 square feet. Under the Sign
Code, these signs fall within the 82 square feet allowed, according to the
building front dimensions.

STAFF COMMENTS, CON -T.:
Staff offers the following comments with regard to design review considerations:
1. A top cap and special finish such as exposed aggregate or stucco
may lessen the visual impact of the proposed retaining wails;
2. A berm along the westerly property line from the retaining wall
to Bcaver Creek Boulevard, along with additional landscaping, would
provide additional protection for Buck Creek from parking lot runoff
and snow removal operations;
3. Berming between the bus stop area and the building front could
improve landscape characteristics and create visual interest;
4. Use of decorative pavers for walkways and bus stop waiting area
could improve visual separation of vehicle and pedestrian areas
and create a plaza type effect;
r. Bollards such as lit, precast concrete could better define pedestrian,
vehicle area separation in the porte cochere area;
6. Lighting, such as those used in the parking lot, when ?laced along
Beaver Creek Boulevard could improve area lighting for safety and
visual impact.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends final approval of this project as submitted, subject to
subsequent review and approval of the following:
1. Design review comments:
A. Retaining walls finishes and colors;
B. Berming along Buck Creek drainage with additional
landscaping;
C. Berming in front of the building;
D. Decorative pavers for walkways and bus waiting area;
E. Bollard lighting around the porte cochere area;
F. Street lighting along the Beaver Creek Boulevard side
of the project;

revised plans for the following items:
1. Design review comments;
2. That lighting be provided for the parking area, particularly at the
entrances to the parking and loading areas;
3. That details be provided for the gravel filters that will treat the
parking lot runoff and for handling drainage along the nortnerly
lot line;
4. That berms be placed along the south and west sides of the project
to insure that parking lot runoff is directed through the gravel
filters;
5. That development of office space within the building is limited
to a maximum of 1,665 square feet as shown on the plans.
Note: Final approval may be appropriate subject to Staff review and approval
of above design details.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Introduce project;

INTRODUCTION:
At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of March 28, 1985 the Commission
approved a temporary business sign for Anthony International in the Avon Center

Avon Center. A letter approving this sign exception from the sign program
has been provided by the owners which will now allow the application to be
presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
STAFF COMMENTS:

2. Sign may be reviewed as an exception to the Avon Center
Sign Program;
3. Review of the sign to be based upon the design standards set
forth by the Commission;
a. The board shall review the appearance, lighting, form,
color, character, dimensions, and materials of all
signs and shall make such aesthetic judgements necessary
to insure that all signs are in compliance with the
sign code.
With regard to the criteria standards used by the Commission, the Staff
recommends the sign be approved. Staff comments as they relate to the standards
are as follows:
1. Appearance. Sign is well done by a professional;

of a window with writing;
