She stated that the lot is zoned for two residences and is proposed to be developed in two phases. The first phase will be on the west and the second phase on the east. She stated that two site improvements of the design will serve both residences. They are the entry stairs and the driveway. The both will be constructed in the first phase ensuring the first phase site improvements render the first phase self-sufficient. She stated that Mr. Railton has indicated that the second phase might not be identical to the first, therefore, he is not seeking final design review for the second phase. She then described the elevations provided. She stated that the applicant did receive a five foot setback variance at the December 20th meeting. She stated that the application is complete. Fritzlen stated that the staff report discusses the concept of the "detached" duplex in general. She stated that if the Commission finds the application conforms with the applicable criteria, approval for the Final Design Review is recommended by the following: 1. That the Planning and Zoning January 17, 1989 Page 2 of 6 Commission Meeting Minutes proposed development be stained an alternate shade as approved by the commission to distinguish it from its neighbor; She stated that this project is similar to another in the area. 2. All site disturbance be regraded and revegatated to its pre-existing state in those areas not scheduled for sod or landscaping in order to ensure that the phasing of development has no adverse effects; 3. Approval of the owner of the first phase of development be required for final design review approval of the second phase, it the second phase design has any significant deviation from the design of the first; 4. Approval of proposed exterior lighting; She stated that Mr. Railton will discuss this matter, and 5. Location of exterior hose bibs on bu7lding permit drawings. John Railton stated that Lynn Fritzlen has discussed the conditions with him and he supports them. He then described the lighting, showing on the drawings where the lighting would be. Lighting will be provided on each side of the driveway entrance. The stairway down between the two buildings will be lit and lighting on the exterior doors to the deck area are the only site lighting to be provided. Exterior outlets will be provided. He then described the blue -grey color that he will be using on the building siding and a similar grey tone on the roof and natural redwood color for the trim on the entrance doors and lattice -work. And moss rock will be used on the wall that comes out to the street. He stated that the two buildings will be tied together, although they will not be connected, probably by a trellis work canopy, as was done with his own home. Reynolds asked why the development is being phased? Railton stated that his client wants to build his own 1 -.me first and then at a later date build the other urit. Discussion followed on the desirability of having one construction time as opposed to two contstruction times. Discussion followed on the staff report regarding the "detached" duplex concept. Fritzlen stated that this concept is allowed in our zoning ordinance. She stated that Mr. Railton's work architecturally and in terms of the site improvements, in the past did stand on its own. She feels this one will do as equally well. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes January 17, 1989 Page 3 of 6 uamieson uupiex - rir Design Review cont. Doll stated that he might have some similar concerns regarding the phased construction if he hadn't seen Mr. Railton's previous project. He stated that at no time was the project an eyesore. Doll moved to approve the project with the staff recommendations as written. Landauer seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Lot 21 Block 2 Benchmark at Beaver Creek. Canopy and Signage, Slifer Real Estate, Sian Program Amendment._ Fritzlen stated that Dennis Galvin of Slifer Real Estate, on behalf of Brian Pesch, owner and sign program administrator for the Avon Commercial Building, is requesting approval for the amendment to the approved sign program of February 19, 1987, to allow signange for his business. She stated that the sign program was previously amended on March 3, 1988 with the approval of the Slifer Designs canopy and signage, which added an approximate 26 square feet of signage to the previously approved 108 square feet. The 26 square feet included the entirety of the front face of the canopy. The approved sign program has no provisions for the addition of any signage. The Town of Avon sign code limits signage to 64 square feet per commercial lot unless an approved sign program is adopted. Fritzlen stated that the proposed canopy is identical to size, construction and lighting to the Sliter Design canopy, although the background color will be blue as opposed to burgandy. The awning will be located directly to the north of the existing Slifer Designs canopy. She stated that included with the staff report is a drawing and copies of photographs that have been provided, showing where the canopy will be located. She stated that the Avon Commercial Building is a reletively unornamented building with simplistic massing. The canopies provide visual interest and a protected entrance to attract commercial traffic. Fritzlen stated that it is the concern of the staff, though, that the sign program is being approved somewhat piecemeal. She stated that the building is presently being remodeled and Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes January 17, 1989 Page 4 of 6 it is likely that there will be several new tenants requesting exterior signage in the coming months. It is recommended that prior to any further signage being approved for the Avon Commercial Building, the owner or sign program administrator obtain approval for a revised comprehensive sign program reflecting the anticipated needs of the entirety of the building tenants. She stated that applicable guidelines and design review criteria have been provided in the staff report. She stated that if the Commission finds that the application for the amendment of the sign program is in conformance with the applicable guidelines approval is recommended, conditioned by the following: Prior to any further signage being approved for the Avon Commercial Building, the owner and/or sign program administrator obtain approval for a revised comprehensive sign program, reflecting the anticipated needs of the entirety of the building tenants. She stated that she had spoken to Brian Pesch regarding this recommendation and he feels that would be in his best interest as well and he will come in within the next two months with a revised sign program. Cuny asked if this new business would effect the parking for that building. Fritzlen stated that it would not. Discussion followed on this matter. Cuny stated that a letter from Brian Pesch stating that he agreed with this application had been received. Mr. Galvin stated that the sketch provided shows the canopy over the existing double doors, when in fact there will be another tall window and a new door installed some 15 feet to the left of where it is shown in the drawing. The double door is the entrance into the common area. Discussion followed on the new door to be installed and the matter of getting the exterior improvements approved. The exterior improvements can be approved by staff. Mr. Galvin stated that both the window and door will be identical to the ones already there. Reynolds moved to approve the canopy Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek with the Staff comments and subject of the exterior improvements. Landauer seconded. The motion carried unanimously. and signage for Lot 21, for Slifer Real Estate to the staff's approval Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes January 17, 1989 Page 5 of 6 Reading and Approval of the Planning and Zoning Minutes of the 1/3/89 Regular Meeting Doll moved to approve the minutes of the January 3, 1989 meeting as submitted. Hill se� onded. The motion carried unanimously. Other Business Doll asked about the Subway Sub sign. Fritzlen stated that Jim Comeford has not provided the approval of the condominium zsociation in the time period allowed. She stated that Mr. Comeford is now planning litigation. Discussion followed and the general consensus of the Commission is that the sign should come down until something is resolved with the Christie Lodge and then he can come in with an application for design review of the sign. The Commission directed the staff to contact the Tov;n Attorney regarding the matter of getting the sign taken down until proper application and approval can be accomplished. Hill asked about the huge trailer that had been moved in on the property across from Nottingham Station. The staff was asked to check into the matter. Fritzlen stated that it is zoned neighborhood commercial and they have what can be interpreted as a non -conforming use. McRory voiced concern regarding the uncompleted projects and asked if there was anything that could be done to make developers or builders put an escrow account aside. Discussion followed on the fact that a landscaping deposit, in the form of a letter of credit is already required. This is not part of the permiting process, but part of the Certificate of Occupancy process. Discussion followed on, some of the unfinished projects, i.e. the foundation in Wildridge and Chambertin, and the Peregrine building. Discussion followed on the fact that the Ekrem building is not yet completed, especially the exterior, and they are living in the residence. Discussion on the fact that the R3 occupancy is not required by the UBC to have a final certificate of occupancy. Further discussion followed on the unfinished state of the Ekrem building. Cuny asked how they were allowed to reside in the residence when they do not even have the railing installed that is required at the front entrance. The staff was directed to check with the attorney on what can be done about unfinished projects. Fritzlen stated that she had talked with John Dunn and it would take Planning and January 17, Page 6 of 6 zoning Commission Meeting Minutes 1989 Other business (cont.) Town financial backing to take asserted corrective action. Fritzlen suggested that Joe McGrath write Ekrem a letter stating that her permit is subject to expiration and that she needs to finish the building with the period of time as defined by our ordinances. The time limit of building permits was then discussed. It was suggested that 12 months is sufficient time for any project to be completed. Further discussion followed on how to assure that any future projects will be finished. Reynolds suggested making the owners of the property, prior to construction, liable to finish the building, if not, they are liable to take it down. Discussion followed how this could be done. It basically is a legal matter and should be checked out with the attorney. The Commission requested that they meet with Mr. Dunn at some time to discuss this matter. Fritzlen stated that she would try to set it up for the next meeting. Reynolds moved to adjourn. Doll seconded. The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 PM.
