Staff Work Session
Wood reviewed agenda items of June 16, 1987, with Commission members.
7.30 PM - Regular- Agenda Items
Lots 23 & 75 Blk 2 BM @ BC - Wal-Mart Shopping Center Design Review
Wood stated that Steve Szymanski of the Palmer Development Group had
requested that this item be withdrawn from this agenda, and from the
previo-s design review and preliminary approvals because a number of
items need to be addressed. Szymanski requested this be continued to
the next regular meeting of July 7, 1987.
Eaglewood Meyers Ranch Annexation - Overall Site Flan Design Review
Wood stated that Commission had considered a conceptual design review
plan for the entire Eaglewood site in November of 1986. That plan
generally consisted of 5 buildings with 211 condominium units and
parking ror the project. The current plan has been revised and now
shows 4 buildings containing 202 units, served by 292 parking spaces.
The 5th building previously on the plans was located between the Ford
Ditch and the Eagle River, and that area has now been replaced with a
parking lot. At the previous meeting the Commission directed the
applicant to approach the Colorado Department of Highways to discuss
the possibility of constructing another access from Highway 6 in order
to add another level of parking in Building C and D, as shown on the
site plan, in order to eliminate the surface parking lot which is
located where the 5th building was, to make more greenspace available
on-site. The applicant has approached the Highway Department and
received a letter from Chuck Dunn, District Right -of -Way Engineer for
the State Highway Department. The letter basically states that the
original application contained a proposed 2 approach system to the
Eaglewood project and that the Highway Access Committee rejected the
idea of 2 approaches as it was not in conformance with the access code.
The letter goes on to state the classification of the Highway and the
reason for no more than 1 access to a parcel or cont.iguoi.s parcel under
the same owner=.nip. That section of the code was written due to the
proliferation of access approaches which were major contributors to
highway accidents and the greatest single factor behird the
deterioration of state highways. The letter goes on to state that

Eaglewood Meyers Ranch Annexation - Overall Site Plan Design Review
"Your request for reconsideration for the same applicant and location
does not change that application which was already reviewed. We
therefore would decline to reconsider your application." Wood stated
that Staff recommends that to maintain a reasonable amount of
flexibility for future phases, the Commission grant no more than
conceptual approval for the overall site plan, subject to: specific
design review and approval of future phases of the project to include
building design, site layout, parking, landscaping, etc.; and
conformance of each future phase with applicable Subdivision
Regulations, Zoning Requirements and Design Procedures for the Town of
Avon.
Discussion followed.
Gersbach motioned to grant conceptual approval for the overall site
plan for the Eaglewood project, subject to: specific design review and
approval of future phases of the project to include building design,
site layout, parking, landscaping, etc.; and conformance of each future
phase with applicable Subdivision Regulations, Zoning requirements, and
Design Procedures for the Town of Avon.

Passed unanimously.
Eaglewood Meyers Ranch Annexation - Ph -se I Site Plan Design Review
Wood stateu that the Commission gave preliminary approval for Phase I
(Building HI of the Eaglewood project at the previous meeting on June
2. That approval was granted subject to 17 conditions being addressed
prior- to action on final approval.
John Werner, developer of Eaglewood then addressed the 17 conditions.
Werner bslieved they could have the plat for the subdivision ready for
the next Council meeting. He stated that with regard to the submittal
of access and entrance design plans approved by the Department of
Highways, that it was completed.
Donaldson commented that items 3 - 11 of the conditions were
satisfactory.
Wood stated that the landscaping plan was submitted at 5 PM today, and
landscaping material between Building A and Sunridge has been
addressed, but not reviewed by Staff.
Werner stated that the plan submitted June 16, 1987, was substantially
identical to the plan that was brought in 1 week ago. The only change
of substance has been the screening in back of the parking garage.
Bob McHenry of Matthews and Associates, landscape architects stated
they tried to provide a lot of screening over to Sunridge and balance
it in the front with the entrance and privacy around the pool, and
provide screening on the north side for the future riverside belt.
Bigger plant materials were used. Most of the spruce are 8 to 12 feet,
there are 100 shrubs shown on the drawings, areas of sod and flowers,
all of which will be automatically irrigated to balance the whole
project. The materials screening the parking garage are coralberry and
apline currant, which are native shrubs that will survive on the north
side. The honeysuckle is a different species than is native in this
area, but is very similar. The heights of mature shrubs would be
approximately 3 to 5 feet tall. There are no other shrubs that will

grow any taller and survive in the dense shade on that side of the
building.
Donaldson commented and asked if the trees between Sunridge and
Building A could be in a grouping effect.
McHenry stated they generally design in a 5 to 10 year point down the
road. He explained that they are trying to allow that they won't look
too close together even within 5 years. In 20 years that will be a
very dense screen.
Discussion followed on landscaping plans submitted.
Werner stated that building finish colors and stock numbers had been
included on plans.
Glenn Falmer of Contra Ltd., engineer for the project explained the
solar study done for the Eaglewood project. He stated that he
contacted an architect and there are some current tables that show
where the sun angles and sun heights through different times of the day
for every single month of the year. He explained that they found in
December, January and February that at the worst condition, which is
when the sun angle is perpendicular to Eaglewood as the sun approaches
Sunridge at noon, the sun moves due north and then as the sun starts
moving west, the shadow starts moving to the east, and the worst shadow
conditions will occur when there's the shortest distance from the sun
angle from Eaglewood to Sunridge. We found that in December, January
and February that the sun is already set, and in 2 other months, March
and November, the sun has set behind the hill. In 2 other months the
sun will cast a shadow on Sunridge of approximately 13 1/2 feet. The
rest of the time, which is April, May, June, July and August, the sun
would not cast a shadow on Sunridge. There are 2 months where it casts
a little bit of a shadow on the project at that particular angle. tie
explained that the hip roof did not constitute any greater shadow on
Sunridge than the edge of the roof.
Donaldson stated that in lieu of the louvers, the landscaping screening
had been provided, and the manufacturer's specifications on the stone
material had been provided on the plans.
Discussion followed.
Clint Watkins, Town Councilmember, spoke from the audience and stated
that in materials they had received on parking requirements, there had
been a 15% reduction in parking allowed and questioned whether or not
Eaglewood qualified for a reduction in parking with the criteria that
is required to get that reduction, specifically, that it be on the
Town's bus route. He stated he did not believe it was on the Town's
bus route, and had questions as to whether or not in the future if
there would be buses running over there. This is coming up for
Council's consideration in the next few weeks.
Wood explained that in certain zone districts, requirements for
reductions include on-site snow storage, no reserved parking spaces,
and on the city bus route. This is the criteria that would allow the
Commission to grant up to a 15% reduction in parking and all of these
criteria would have to be met.
Discussion followed.
Wood stated that there would ue no approval until final design

approval. He stated that as a. phased project, there is a way to deal
with it, and that would be that the additional parking be provided for
that phase unless something can be negotiated as to how bus service
would be provided, be it through a town system or a specific system
just for that, prior to a Certificate of occupancy, if those parking
spaces are reduced.
Discussion followed on pat -king reductions.
Wood suggested that some options might include approval subject to
additional provision of 15 parking spaces, or to go through the
variance procedure to request elimination of the 15 spaces. Another
option is can the C•.mmission make the determination that Eaglewood is
close enough to an existing bus route that it is considered to be on a
bus route.
Doll did not feel it was unreasonable for people to walk to the Prater
Road intersection.
Discussion followed on potential sidewalk linking Eaglewood with
Sunridge.
Reynolds motioned to approve the design review of Phase I, subject to:
1) completion of the subdivision process for the Meyers Ranch
Annexation property; 2) submittal of access and entrance design plans
which have been approved by the Colorado Department of Highways, prior
to issuance of a building permit; and 3) Phase I of the project conform
to the limitation on fireplaces in fractionalized projects outlined in
the Zoning Code.
Gersbach seconded.
Reynolds amended motion to include that Commission determined that due
to the proximity of the site to an existing bus route, the Commission
considers it to be on a bus route, therefore completes all the
requirements for the Commission to grant a 15% parking reduction.
Gersbach amended seconded.
Passed unanimously.
Lot 4 Blk. 2. BM @ BC - Stone Creek Condominium-, Unit Ill - Deck
Addition Design Review
Wood stated that Edie Hudson, owner of Unit 111 in the Stone Creek
Condominiums, has applied for design review of a deck that she would
like to add to her condominium. The proposed deck would be of redwood
construction, with a railing and possibly a hot tub. The applicant
also proposes to replace the existing bedroom windows with French doors
to provide access '1.o the deck from the bedroom. A plan and elevation
of the proposed deck have been submitted for Commission review. This
application does not appear to raise any zoning or setback issues. The
area where the deck is proposed is shown as a "Limited Common Element"
on the condominium map, and Staff feels that a letter froon the
Condominium Association for the project, granting permission to build
the deck, should be submitted. If the Commission approves the design
review of this project, Staff would suggest the following condition be
made a part of such approval: 1) the applicant supply the Town with a
letter from the Stone Creek Condominiums owner's Association, granting
their permission to construct the deck for Unit 111, prior to obtaining

a building permit.
Edie Hudson, applicant, stated that her request to add the deck was now
in front of the Stone Creek Condominium Owner's Association. She
stated that the deck would be redwood and the railings would be cedar
to match the building.
Reynolds had concerns that the deck addition would change the overall
look of the complex.
Hudson explained that the deck is setback from the edge of the building
and will be raised to ground level.
Gersbach did not feel that approval could be granted until the condo
association approved the addition.
Hudson presented picture for Commission review.
Discussion followed.
Gersbach motioned to approve the deck addition to Stone Creek
Condominiums, with the condition that the applicant supply the Town
with a letter from Stone Creek Condominiums Owner's Asociation,
granting their permission to construct the deck for Unit 111, prior to
obtaining a building permit.
Doll seconded.
Passed unanimously.
Lot 45. Blk. ' BM G BC - Falcon Pointe Lodge - Landscaping
Modification Desian Review
Wood stated that Falcon Pointe Lodge received final design review
approval or, August 19, 1967. The project is virtually complete at this
time, and we have received a revised landscape plan for the site, which
they are requesting approval for. This revised plan doeti rearrange the
parking and the drawing includes a new freestanding project entrance
sign. The new landscape plan does show a substantial reduction in
plant material around the site, particularly around the south side
facing the park along the walkway over to the pool and around the pool
area, which is also surrounded by a chain link fence. The revised
plans also include some changes to the parking areas, which may affect
the drainage plan and would require modifications to the drainage plan.
The parking spaces along the east lot line were previously angled
parking spaces in order to allow access to them. Access to some of the
parking spaces could be lost with the development of the adjacent lot
on the east. Wood presented plans submitted and previously approved
plans.
Glenn Ellison of Land Designs by Ellison stated that when he received
the approved landscape plan, he believed he could take trees and spread
them through the site. He stated that would not be a thorough
landscape design. He stated he tried to disregard what had been
approved and started from scratch. Some of the parking that had been
approved on that design did not work because of the grades and because
if a car were to park in a certain spot, then they would be holding in
another spot. Ellison then explained landscaping to Commission from
plans submitted.
Discussion followed.
Doll felt that the chain link fence required more screening.

Ellison stated that $20,000. was allocated to the landscape design.
Discussion followed.
Lamont suggested that landscaping be phased.
Donaldson stated that concerns expressed by Commission included
screening of chain link fence and parking areas.
Discussion continued on proposed landscaping plan.
Lamont suggested putting off the project sign and use that money for
the landscaping.
Discussion followed on plans submitted, regarding parking.
Commission concurred that applicant address concerns of t:creening chain
link fence and parking area.
Reynolds motioned to continue the application to the June 24, 1987,
meeting.

Modification - Design Review
Wright stated that at the June 16 meeting, the Commission asked the
applicant to revise their landscaping around the pool area and walkway.
Wright presented submitted plans for Commission review.
Jamie, representative of Land Designs by Ellison, stated that after
trying a number of things with the parking lot, they went back to the
original design and cleaned up the parking area so it didn't have in
and out jags, and went off of a straight line with 30 degree parking.
It meets all requirements and there is an additional parking space.
There are 2 additional spruce trees and 5 cottonwoods along the pool
and walkway. This area is being regraded and sod is being added all
along the backside of the pool. Jamie then reviewed plans with

Discussion followed.
Jamie stated that he would like to put large shrubs in to effectively
break up the recreation building. He stated he would add 3 shrubs on
the corner closest to the walk, 3 - 5 on the southeast corner, and then
3 directly in the middle of the recreation building on the backside.
Reynolds motioned to approve the landscaping plan for Falcon Pointe as
submitted with the changes as noted by the applicant and the following
items are to be addressed by the applicant; 1) the lack of landscaping
along the "park" side of the project, including the south face of the
main building and covered walkway, the pool fence and the recreation
building; 2) the need for a detailed plan for the proposed project
identification sign; 3) revising the grading and drainage plan to
incorporate the new parking lot layout; 4) return the head -in parking
at the northeast corner of the site to angled parking as shown on the
approved plan; and 5) the placement of 3 shrubs on the corner closest
to the walk, 3 - 5 shrubs on the southeast corner, and another 3
directly in the middle of the recreation building on the backside.

Doll then nominated Gersbach as acting chairman.
Reynolds seconded.
Donaldson abstained.
Motion carried.
Wright stated that the owners of Avon Center have applied for design
review of changes that are being proposed for the site and the
building. The improvements include construction of a new parking lot
west of the building to accommodate 144 cars; eliminating the existing
entrance to the underground parking structure and relocating it to the
west side of the building; rearrange parking lot on the north side of
the building to accommodate 13 cars and 2 loading zones; construct a
new main entrance on the west side of the building that will serve the
new parking lot; new roofs and walkways will be added for pedestrian
protection from falling snow and ice. This plan will provide 248
parking spaces for the project, and improve access to the Post (3ffice
as well as other businesses in the project. The new parking area is
planned for the "hole" that exists west of the building. Landscaping
around the parking lot is planned along with walkways connecting the
project to the Town Center Mall. Drainage for the new parking lot is

being directed to a detention pond on the west side of the lot. Staff
would like to have an alternate drainage plan that would address
drainage in the event that ownership of the property is divided such
that the detention pond area is separated from the parking lot.
Mark Donaldson, representative for Avon Center stated that they are
planning to reorganize and reorient the circulation on the site closing
off the existing driveway, creating a new west entry for the hotel
guests and the parking garage. He stated that his client represents
the owners of the 2 commercial levels, the office and retail levels, as
well as the vacant undeveloped land. He stated they're using a portion
of that land to create the parking for the commercial that has not
previously existed, and bringing the entire project up to the Town
parking standards, and that is without any 15% reduction. All of the
work being done will be done in a manner to match the existing in terms
of materials, the metal roofing, the stucco, handrails and guardrails.
Donaldson presented plans for Commission review and comment.
Donaldson explained that the existing driveway into the parking garage
is being landscaped over. There will be a new road cut on the west
side so that there is a good drive through situation in and around the
upper parking level. The grading has remained high on the north half
of the new parting area, in order to maintain a good relationship with
the Post office level and the main level for pedestrian access, and to
give the best proximity for parking to the new pedestrian pavillion
that will be built along the west side of the northwest corner of the
existing parking structure. That element ties together a new roof
canopy along the west and connects to the extended roof canopy around
the Post Office. Donaldson explained parking concept from plans
submitted. He stated they are paving the lot with asphalt and have a
complete grading and drainage plan.
Discussion followed.
Donaldson explained that a new sign program has been submitted for the
building including ground level retail signs, directory and tenant
signs, and a freestanding project sign for information and direction.
He stated that the proposed entry sign at the north corner will read
"North Entrance". This sign is a rreestanding stucco form. The lower
portion of the sign is to be painted to match the roofing color. A?:
the stucco shown is painted to match the metal roofing color.
Donaldson explained signage from plans submitted. He stated that the
freestanding street directory is about 10.5 feet tall total. It will
say, "Avon Center" at the top, then list the 14 tenants. There is a
similar sign on the south side of the project, a mall directory sign,
right at the intersection of the sidewalk that connects the mall, at
the corner of the brass Parrot. This is an important sign because this
provides a new pedestrian Nay to the new parking lot at a 4% grade.
The other additional signage is near the parking garage that says,
"Parking Garage, This Way", with an arrow. There are new directional
signs on the building for the pedestrian pavillion that says
"Entrance", and matching backlit pan channel letters that match the
existing signage. There are 10" high letters on the south and east
entries of pan channel letters that read "Mall". The large sign on the

north side of the building is proposed to be lowered to mid -height of
the building wall. The entire building will be painted and they are
proposing a color change, but will be back to the Commission with that
information.
Reynolds was concerned with the amount of signage proposed.
Donaldson stated that the freestanding signs may be overwhelming and
the number of tenant signs has been limited. He explained that they
have a real challenge to turn this project around and it is a major
failure at this point. He also explained that this project does not
own Lot JJ, where the majority of parking now exists. He stated there
is another freestanding sign identifying the main entry and also
identifies the Post Office. He explained they have gone to great
expense to close in the existing ramp to fill it in level up to the
Post Office level. There are 3 entry signs and 1 street level
directory sign. He stated they felt they limited their signs to the
degree retailers can work with it and get their message across.
Jim Lindsey of Ralph Edgar Consulting Group, agent for Western Gulf
savings, stated that the past history of Avon Center has not been good.
He explained that there is 23,000 square feet of retail and very little
exposure to the street, and there is the potential of some of that
being blocked in the future. It is very important to his tenants to
bring some identification out to the street. He felt the sign program
was most important for the tenants to be successful.
Discussion followed on plans submitted.
Lamont asked about the canted arcade.
Donaldson explained that the snow falls from several stories above and
this will be a crash bed of sorts.
Lamont stated that in new construction on Avon Road, it was his
understanding that curb and gutter would tie-in with the corner near
the stop light.
Discussion followed on curb and gutter-, and parking.
Reynolds motioned to approve the design review for modifications to the
Avon Center building and parking lot, with the following conditions:
1) a grading and drainage plan for the project be submitted to the Twon.
Engineer for review and approval; 2) an alternate drainage plan be
submitted showing how drainage will be handled in the event that the
property is divided ouch that the detention pond area is separated from
the parking lot; 3) indicate on the plans that the grade of the walkway
from the new parking lot to the rear building entrance will not exceed
1 foot vertical to 12 feet horizontal; and 4) that sidewalk, curb :and
gutter be added to the north property line on West Laaver Creek
Boulevard.

The Commission then continued discussion regarding the sign program for
Avon Center.
Donaldson stated that the letters for the signs are white and the
background color is Benjamin Moore Face 4 CB43. The base of the signs

Tract Q Blk. 2, BM _@ BC - Benchmark Shopping Center - Sign Program &
Building Modifications - Design Review
Donaldson stepped down due to a conflict of interest.
Wright stated that Mark Donaldson, representing the owners of the
Benchmark Shopping Center, has applied for design review of a new sign
program for the project. The program calls for the use of 2" diameter
round tube frames with canvas signs. The program outlines sign sizes,
locatio:1s, maximum number of signs, building identification signs and
directories. Some minor improvements are planned for the building
itself such as roof extensions at the second floor entries, and new
fascia trim and paint. The program allows up to 9 tenant signs on the
north fascia and 9 signs on the south fascia, for a total of 18 signs
for the first floor. It also allows for up to 6 tenant signs on the
north fascia and up to 6 signs on the south fascia for a total of 12
signs for the second floor. 4 tenant signs are proposed for the west
side of the building. Sign area for the first floor tenants will be
limited to 10 square feet each, and second floor tenants will be
allowed a maximum of 8 square feet. The building identification signs
will be located on the west end of the building, and on each of the two
roof extensions being added to highlight the second floor entries. The
program allows for individual backlighting of signs, and it also allows
the existing "Food & Deli" signs to remain until December, 1988.
Mark Donaldson, representative of Benchmark Shopping Center stated they
have new signs and are trying to integrate the second flror signs. At
each side of the building where the doors lead to the second floor,
we're creating an extended gabled end roof form. The sign will say
"Benchmark Shopping Center, Second Floor Entrance". The third building
ID sign goes on the northwest end at the second floor gable. There are
2 places where there are second floor directories placed by the second
floor doors and have a variety of tenant signs on the first and second
level. The sign tubes and the new fascia boards are for accent trim
and the sign background is a Benjamin Moore Brown ST2.
Donaldson presented plans for Commission review and explained signs and
colors to Commission. Donaldson stated that they would be removing the
35' freestanding sign.
Discussion followed on sign program.
Jim Cunningham, owner of the building stated that they felt that the
sign program could be in place within 150 days, or by November 30,
1987. He explained that he would be funding 60-80% of the new program

and are asking the tenants to pay for their own loge on the canopy.
Discussion followed.
Doll motioned to approve the building modifications and sign program
design review with the following conditions: 1) the 35' high
freestanding sign be removed; 2) improvements on the building are to be
completed within 150 days or by November 30, 1987; ) :all signage on
the building is to conform with the new sign program within 150 days or
by November 30, 1987; and 4) applicant has agreed that no fluorescent
colors or day-glo colors will be used on signage.

Lots 46/67 B111. 1 BM @ BC - Chambertin Townhomes - Informal
Discussion
Donaldson stepped down due to a conflict of interest.
Mark Donaldson, representative of phoenix. Discovery Group stated they
are proposing development on the remaining foundation for Chambertin
which is on the east half of Lots 46/47. The project they are
proposing is to be fractionalized under the Avon fractionalization
ordinance. He stated they have a topographical survey and boundary
survey, and have taken the site conditions and have developed this
project into what is to be a 12 unit project of 5 small 1 bedroom/1
bath units, which are 1/4 density right, 5, 1 bedre,om/l 3/4 bath units
at 1/3 density right, and there are 2, 2 bedroom/2 bath units which are
1/2 density right for a total of 3.19 residential density rights out of
an allowable 4 whole density rights. Donaldson then explained the
mechanics of the site circulation, the concept of the parking scheme
and the finishing out of this project from plans submitted.
Discussion followed.
Clint Watkins spoke from the audience and stated that he and a partner
are in the process of buying the east building and a couple of middle
units, and is looking at this as a residence. He stated he was
concerned about 12 units going in the building next door because it
could be used as a short term rental situation. He was concerned about
what kind of activity would be in the east building. He did not
believe the short term rentals would be compatible with what the rest
of the project is set up for.
Gersbach thanked Watkins for his comments, and thanked Donaldson for
his presentation.
Lot 51 Blk. 4. W.R. - Duplex - Design Review
Donaldson stepped down due to a conflict of interest.
-ight stated that Mark Donaldson, representing the owner of Lot Si,
as made application for design review of a duplex residence proposed
the site. The project generally consists of two dwelling units,
ardroximately 1,600 square feet each with an oversized one car garage.
