Off -Site Parking Lot to Serve Lot 33, Block 1,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek - Avon Service Center
Design Review
INTRODUCTION:
At the February 17, 1987, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission
adopted Resolution 87-7, recommending that the Town Council approve a Special
Review Use to allow off-site parking on Lot 32, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver
Creek to serve Lot 33, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. Council approved this
Special Review Use at its meeting of February 24, 1987, with the condition that
the applicant submit a detailed site, grading and drainage, and landscaping plan
for Planning and Zoning Commission review and approval.
Peel/Warren Architects, on behalf of the owner of Lot 32, Block 1, have submitted
a site plan for the proposed parking lot for design review. The plan calls for
construction of 37 Parking spaces, runoff treatment facilities, and landscaping
on Lot 32. This lot is proposed to link with the existing parking on Lot 33, and
have a separate access off Nottingham Road.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The site plan has no dimensions, but it does show the parking lot, along with
spot elevations that show drainage from the lot being directed to a filter
gallery at the southwest corner of the site. Although these elevations are shown,
there is no supporting documentation from the engineer showing anticipated flows
or criteria for sizing the filter gallery. The existing parking on Lot 33 has
13 parking spaces served by two filter galleries. The proposed lot has 37 parking
spaces served by one filter gallery. Staff would like to see the engineer's
drainage study that justifies this configuration. Snow storage for the lot is
adequate, and landscaping is composed of 13 cottonwood trees, 2 spruce trees,
and 2 radient crab trees. The Commission should closely review the landscaping
proposed to insure that adequate screening of vehicles will be accomplished.
The type of irrigation system for the maintenance of the landscaping should be
specified.
The plan also shows a single light pole for the parking lot to be located in the
landscaped area near the center of the lot. The Commission should be aware that
this light pole is proposed to be relocated from the parking lot on Lot 33, next
door. The Commission should determine if it is appropriate for this light, which
was a part of the site plan approved for Lot 33, to be relocated, or if additional
lighting should be provided on Lot 32.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
If the Commission finds this plan to be acceptable, Staff recommends that final
design review approval be granted for this project. The applicant should be made
aware that, at such time as an application for a grading permit for the parking
lot is requested, the applicant will have to submit a dimensioned site plan,
addressing any items agreed to by the applicant and the Commission, and detailed
drainage information for Staff review and approval prior to issuance of the
grading permit.
