Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 88-8, adopted August 16, 1989 recommended to approve the SRU with six conditions, the sixth one being; re-evaluation at the time Phase II of the project is started or not later than June 1, 1989. Jerry's Automotive Repair was originally located in Unit S-2 but is new located in the basement or Unit B-2 of the Mountain Center Bu" ding. On November 15, 1989 the app icant requested the Commission to provide an interpretation as to whether the Special Review Use approval would be applicable to the new location. The Commission determined that it was. The applicant stated during his presentation that the owner Les Shapiro would allow parking for 15 vehicles on the west and of the building for the storage of cars awaiting repair. The wes, end of the building is the area where Phase II of the 1'^untain Center Building was to be developed. No building Pr application for Phase II has been received by the Town C. in as of the date of this report. STAFF COMMENTS The Commission shall consider the following factors when reviewing a special review use application: A. The adequacy of the access to the site with respect to the width of the adjacent streets, their grades, intersection safety, visibility and entrance into the lot to be developed; COMi4ENT: Access has been previously reviewed and approved. B. Whether there exists safe access and sufficient water pressure to provide fire protection; COMMENT: Fire protection has been previously reviewed and approved. C. The existent water pressure in the area and the ability of the water system to supply domestic needs; Staff Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission May 16, 1989 Lots 26/27, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Jerry's Automotive Repair Special Review Use Re-evaluation Page 2 of 4 COMMENT: Domestic water supply is adequate. D. Whether there will be provided sufficient offstreet parking as determined by (1) the intended use of the property, (2) walking distance to the downtown area, and (3) the availability of public transportation; COMMENT: As approved the Mountain Center development provides adequate parking per the Town of Avon Parking requirements for all of its tenants including Jerry's Automotive Repair but the storage of vehicles awaiting repair and customer/employee parking exceeds the required number for off street parking. A car storage area is important to the operation of a vehicle maintenance shop and the evaluation of the Special Review Use in order to ensure that other tenants in the building have adequate parking. The area west of the Mountain Center sc;ieduled for Phase II is currently in a partially excavated state and no revegetation has been initiated. The number of cars in this area has been observed to exceed fifteen and there is the potential that vehicles and miscellaneous debris not associated with Jerry's Automotive Repair are being stored there. In order to continue to allow the use of the western portion of the site as a car storage area it is suggested that the area be adequately regraded, revegetated, surfaced in a manner appropriate to its use, screened from the adjacent public right of ways, the number of cars be limited to a maximum of fifteen and any miscellaneous debris be removed. These improvements should be subject to Planning and Zoning Commission approval as a Design Review application. E. The impact of the developinent, considering the potential for stream and air pollution, the availability of public transportation and other public or private services, and any other factors affecting the overall development and the surrounding areas, including but riot limited to building height, view plane, drainage and other physical and aesthetic features.

Section 15.28.080,Q.3, of the Avon Sign Code states: "Proposed signs, not in accordance with an approved sign program, will only be considered by the planning and zoning commission upon receipt of written eveidence that the proposed sign is acceptable to the owners of the building or the owners asscociation." Mr. Comerford was requested by the Department of Community Development to submit an application for Design Review December 29, 1988. At the February 21, 1989 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting this item was considered. Mr. Comerford stated that the reason he was not able to procure the Christy Lodge's permission to erect the sign and canopy was because Sunvale Development Corporation (the owner of Unit C-19) was currently having a dispute with the Christy Lodge Board of Directors and as a result Subway has been caught in the crossfire. No action was taken and the item was tabled for a period of sixty days for the purpose of allowing the applicant to resolve the differences with the Christy Lodge owner's association and eliminate the need to seek a variance from the owner's permission requirements. Mr. Comerford, in a letter that is included with this report, has requested that item be continued in order to allow for additional time to finalize an agreement with the Christy Lodge or that it be considered for a variance. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION May 16, 1989 Lot 25, Block 2, BM®BC Subway Subs Sign Variance Page 2 of 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the item be tabled til regularly scheduled meeting.

STAFF REPORT 10 THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION May 16, 1989 Lot 54, Block 3, Wildridge Ptach Residence Single Family Residence Stephen Richards Architect Preliminary Design Review Page 1 of 3 INTRODUCTION Stephen Richards, on behalf of Tom and Cindy Ptach, is requesting preliminary design review for a single family residence located on Lot 54, Block 3, W;ldridge. The lot is is located within the Wildridge Specially Planned Area and has two residential developments rights assigned to it. (See exhibit) STAFF COMMENTS: 6.10 DESIGN REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS The Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of a proposed project: 6.11 THE CONFORMANCE WITH THE ZONING CODE AND OTHER APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE TOWN OF AVON COMMENT: Given the information presented the application is in conformance with applicable codes. 6.12 THE SUITABILITY OF THE IMPROVEMENT, INCLUDING TYPE AND QUALITY OF MATERALS OF WHICH IT IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND SITE UPON WHICH IT IS TO BE BUILT. COMMENT: Exterior materials are cedar shakes, wood siding, stucco and river rock. 6.13 THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE DESIGN TO MINIMIZE SITE IMPACTS TO ADJACENT PROPERTIES. COMMENT: Given the information presented there are no unusual or significant impacts to adjacent properties. 6.14 THE COMPATIBLILITY OF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WITH SITE TOPOGRAPHY. COMMENT: The site is large but steeply sloped. There are two frontages to the lot, one being Wildridge Road East the other being North Point Road. Both road frontages are extremely steep and present difficult access design problems. The STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION May 16, 1989 Lot 54, Block 3, Wildridge Ptach Residence Preliminary Design Review Page 2 of 3 proposed access is from the lower road. Topographical information has not been provided in the area where the driveway is indicated although it is noted on the site plan that there is a nine percent grade. The driveway scales at approximately 200'-0" in length and is 12'-0" wide. Town of Avon Design Guidelines recommend a maximum of 10% for ramp grades on residential development. The long driveway may require considerable retainage, to maintain a consistent 9%, and that retainage will be visible to properties south of it. Without additional topographic information this cannot be fully evaluated. In general the driveway will dominate the character of this proposal. Consideration should be given to moving the building closer to one of the street frontages, possibly into the front setback in order to minimize site impacts. 6.15 THE VISUAL APPEARANCE OF ANY PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT AS VIEWED FROM ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND PUBLIC WAYS. COMMENT: If considerable retainage is to be incorporated into the site design, naturalistic or textured materials, integrated with landscaping are encouraged. 6.16 THE OBJECTIVE THAT NO IMPROVEMENT BE SO SIMILIAR OR DISSIMILIAR TO OTHERS IN THE VICINITY THAT VALUES, MONETARY OR AESTHETIC WILL BE IMPAIRED. COMMENT: Proposal is unique to the vicinity. 6.17 THE GENERAL CONFORMANCE OF THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE ADOPTED GOALS, POLICIES, AND PROGRAMS OF THE TOWN OF AVON. There are no adopted goals for Wildridge. STAFF RECOMMENDATION This a preliminary review and no formal staff recommendation is submitted at this time. The following are considerations for the Commission in regards to this application. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION May 16, 1989 Lot 54, Block 3, Wildridge Ptach Residence Preliminary Design Review Page 2 of 3 1. The long driveway may require considerable retainage, to maintain a consistent 9% grade, and that retainage will be visible to properties south of it. Moving the residence closer to the road may have a lesser site impact. 2. The site is steeply sloped, sensitive site design and building massing is important to the visual appearance of this proposal. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Introduce Application 2.

All five buildings are served by i:he two dishes. A copy of the previous staff report is included. On November 17, 1957 an application for the placement and screening of the satellite dishes was approved. The dishes were approved in a nuetral tan color and were to be surrounded with a 6'-0" high cedar fence and three spruce trees on the north side of the enclosure. The dishes are 9.2 feet in diameter and exceed 10'-0" in height. They were installed as approved but the fencing and landscaping was never completed. The applicant would like to propose dt•leting the fencing due to its lack of effectiveness as a screening mechanism and adding two new 8'-0" spruce trees. There is an existing spruce tree adjacent to the dishes. The following are applicable guidelines for the the review of communications and satellite dish antennae: 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, or through the use of landscaping materials, fencing, existing structures, subgrade placements or other means that both screen the antennae and appear natural to the site. 2. All wiring and cable related to antennae istallation shall be installed underground or be incorporated entirely within the structure; 3. The use of mesh antennaes is encouraged; 4. Color selection for dish antennaes should be made with respect to the characteristics of the site or structure. Unpainted surfaces and dish antennaes with reflective surfaces shall not allowed. No advertising, logos or identification shall be allowed on any dish antenna.
