Unit size, gross square footage is about 2200 square feet, total building is approximately 8800 square feet. Building height, 33.9 feet, is well within the 35 foot requirement. Pylman stated that, as designed, the project is in conformance with the Zoning Code. The type and quality of materials are compatible with structures in the vicinity. The primary material is stucco. The elevations are somewhat conceptual. There is some 1 x 4 cedar siding as an accent material, the windows are white clad and roof material is cedar shingles. The applicant has provided a color board. The property is a corner lot so private property only abuts two sides of the parcel. There is a parking area that encroaches into the side setback, the design of that doesn't appear to impact adjacent properuies. Alteration of the topography has been minimized by stepping the building levels as the grade increases to the north. Regarding the visual appearance, the project doesn't present any negative effects. It is a well designed building with good materials. No adverse impacts on view corridors. The proposal meets the intent of the objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired, and the project is in general conformance with the Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon. Regarding the staff recommendations, the applicant has provided the color scheme; More on balcony railing, soffit and fascia, and column details is needed; Details on exteri,)r lighting, particularly at intersection of drive and road, is needed.

Clayton McRory seconded. Jack Hunn asked for a clarification on the motion regarding the position on irrigation. Reynolds stated that he agrees that irrigation is needed and so amended his motion. Hazard asked if a drip system would be adequate. It was decided that it would be. McRory :seconded the amendment. The motion carried unanimously. Frank Doll suggested that if the Commission members would like to see some first class landscaping, they should go to Eaglebend and see the landscaping that Tony Seibert/South Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Mir,utes November 21, 1989 Page 4 of 6 Harbor Development has done. Jack Hunn stated that Eagle -Vail is now starting to look good because of the landscaping and irrigating that has been done there.

Benchmark at Beaver Creek Vail Associates, Inc Temporary Employee Parking With no other representative present, Jack Hunn stepped down as a voting member of the Commission to represent Vail Associates. Frank Doll stated that the application is the same as was presented last year and as far as he knows, there were no problems with it last year. They did exactly what they said they were going to do, by graveling the lot and at the end of the year they cleaned it up, and they kept the streets clean. Rick Pylman stated that he had heard a few complaints about dust and he stated that Jim Funk has committed to cleaning up the site, seeding it and watering it in the spring. Pylman stated that the parking is not a permitted use on the prop,': and it was handled with about six criteria and he has responded to these in the staff report. He stated that the only comment he has on this matter, and Jack can take it to Vail Associates, is the compatibility of use and visual impact. The property is zoned Town Center and surface parking as a primary use on that property is certainly not ideal. It is not what is wanted in the core of Avon. There is Some compatibility with other properties, at this time, because of other approvals and because it is short term. He stated that VA should understand that, as a long term use, there is a problem with the use. This application is for the 1989/1990 ski season only. John Perkins moved to grant approval as requested to Vail Associates for the duration of the 1989/1990 ski season only, the use of Lot 61, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, as temporary parking, subject to staff recommendations as listed in the staff report. Buz Reynolds seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Jack Hunn resumed his position as a voting member of the Commission.
