The regular meeting of the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission was held
on November 3, 1987, at 7:35 PM in the Town Council Chambers of the
Town of Avon Municipal Complex, 400 Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado.
The meeting was called to order by Chairwoman Pat Cuny.

Charlie Gersbach, Mark Donaldson, Tom Landauer
Members Absent: None
Staff Present: Norm Wood, Director of Engineering and Community
Development - Jim Lamont, Planning Consultant
Ray Wright, Engineering Technician - Maggie Lach,
Recording Secretary
Lot 21 Blk2. BM @ BC Avon Commercial Building - Building & Parking
Lot Modifications - Design Review
Gersbach stepped down due to a possible conflict of interest.
Wright stated at the meeting of October 5, 1987, the Commission
determined that Slifer Designs was compatible with the parking
requirements previously set forth for the building. At that meeting
there was discussion about existing on-site parking spaces and that the
project is currently 2 spaces short of the minimum parking required for
uses already in the building. The applicant was directed to address
the parking issue along with design review for modifications to the
building exterior. Plans.have been submitted which show additional
parking spaces and additional retail space proposed for the project.
Wright then presented submitted plans for Commission review and
comment.
Rick Erickson, applicant stated that Christy Sports has made a request
to expand their existing location to another 328 square feet. He
stated that they wanted to expand another 13 1i2 feet through the south
interior wall. That area would be for their ski storage and summer
patio furniture. He stated that the difference between the 42 spaces
and 44 parking spaces occured because the contractor did not build
according to the design. The striping was put back the way it was
rather than maximizing the parking. He explained that the plans show
48 spaces, and Staff has eliminated 4 spaces in the Staff Comments.
The 2 spaces located along the north side of Christy Sports were
eliminated because of access, and the west side shows 20 spaces, and
there are 19 spaces striped, and this won't accommodate another space.
The trash enclosure was built incorrectly and could possibly be
relocated. It is built 2 feet from the south property line and 5 feet
from the east property line. Staff recommended that 3 parking spaces
be used beside the dumpster and that should give us the 44 parking
spaces before the Christy Sports expansion. Right now we would like
approval for the design review of the changes for Slifer Design and not
consider the expansion of Christy Sports.
Discussion followed on plans submitted regarding parking and signage.
Blair asked if the materials for Slifer would be compatible with what
is currrently on the building.
Erickson stated it would be the same as Christy Sports. He explained

that the 4 foot wide landscaping area would be moved back and reduced

Lots 26/27. Blk. i BM C BC - Mountain Center - Variance from Inclusion
of Mini -Storage in Parking Requirements - Public Hearing
Gersbach rejoined Commission discussion.
Wright stated Vail Building Arts Associates, owners of the Mountain
Center project now under construction on Lots 26/27, Block 1, Benchmark
at Beaver Creek, are requesting a variance from the Zoning Code to
exclude the mini -storage space in the basement from the parking
requirements for the project. The applicant feels that si-cp an
interior driveway has been provided to access the mini-s'_orage bays,
surface parking for this space is unnecessary.
Les Shapiro, owner and applicant stated that the basemert has 8,400
square feet with a hammerhead turnaround, and the building is equipped
with a complete garage ventilation system. There is room to turn
around.
Commission then reviewed previously approved design review plans.
Cuny then opened the public hearing.
There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
Shapiro stated there are 24-30 storage units at 9' x 25' and access is
through a card system, similar to that used in the Vail parking
structures.
Blair asked if those spaces could be marked as a loading zone.
Shapiro had no problem with it.
Commission then reviewed criteria for approval of a variance, Section
17.36.040.
Doll motioned to adopt Resolution e7-14, approving a variance request
to exclude the mini -storage space from the parking requirements for the
Mountain Center project. The Commission found that the application
complied with Section 17.35.050, Findings Required.
Gersbach seconded.
