Avon Center
Lot A, Avon Center at Beaver Creek
Joyce Communications
Placement of Satellite Dish Antenna
Design Review
INTRODUCTION:
Joyce Communications has requested approval to place a satellite dish antenna on
the Avon Center. They have submitted information on the proposed dish, along
with building elevations and photographs showing the proposed location.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Planning and Zoning Commission Rules and Regulations provide for the installation
of satellite dish antennas. Those guidelines, along with responses from staff
concerning this application, are listed below.
1. All antennas shall be located so as to be screened from view from any public
right-of-way or neighboring property. Screening may be accomplished by incor-
porating the antenna into building design, or through the use of landscaping
materials, fencing, existing structures, subgrade placements, or other means
that both screen the antenna and appear natural to the site;
Response:
Applicant proposes to place the satellite dish on the second floor deck, on
the south side of Avon Center. This location offers virtually no screening
for the dish, which has a 13' diameter. The applicant's own photographs
indicate that the dish will be visible from virtually every neighboring
property and public right-of-way. One building elevation shows the top of
the dish extending to the top of the hand rail on a third floor balcony.
2. All wiring and cable related to antenna installation shall be installed under-
ground or be incorporated entirely within the structure;
Response:
(No details have been provided on the actual installation,)
3. The use of mesh antennas is encouraged.
Response:
The information submitted shows a solid metal dish, approximately 13 feet in
diameter.

4. Color selection for dish antennas should be made with respect to the character-
istics of the site or structure. Unpainted surfaces and dish antennas with
reflective surfaces shall not be allowed. No advertising, logos, or identifi-
cation shall be allowed on any dish antenna.
Response:
(No details have been provided on dish color.)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels that this application does not conform with the guidelines for
satellite dish antennas outlined in the Planning & Zoning Commission Rules
and Regulations. Staff recommends that the Commission direct the applicant
to explore other locations for the dish that would better conform with the
guidelines, i.e., placement on the roof of the building. If the Commission
must deny the application, staff recommends that action be deferred until
staff can prepare a resolution for adoption by the Commission outlining the
reasons for such denial.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Introduce project;
2. Presentation by applicant;
3. Commission review of submitted material;
4. Act on application.
Respectfully Subm_itte .

Lot 17, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Colorado Mountain Express
Request to Delete Asphalt Paving for Temporary Parking Lot
Continued from 8/18/87 Meeting
INTRODUCTION:
At the August 18, 1987, meeting, the Commission continued this request becuase
there was no one from Colorado Mountain Express present at the meeting to
explain their situation.
STAFF COMMENTS:
During discussions this past week with the applicant, staff was assured that, by
the time this meeting took place, all of the improvements planned for the parking
lot, with the exception of the asphalt, would be completed. At the time this
report was written, the following items had yet to be completed:
1. Gates on the south end of the fence, and 1 gate at the entrance;
2. Landscaping as shown on the approved plans;
3. Parking lot lighting.
In a letter from the applicant dated August 1, 1987, they request that the Commission
waive the asphalt requirement and allow them to install parking lot lighting at their
own discretion. Although the asphalt paving may not be necessary in this case, staff
feels that the lighting is an important part of the plan and recommends that the
Commission place a time limit on the installation of the lighting.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Introduce project;
2. Presentation by applicant;
3. Commission discussion of request;
4. Act on request.
