The maximum that will be seen is 4 feet, but will probably be somewhat less. The cable will be underground. The galvanized mesh dish will be painted a Van Dyke or chocolate brown to blend in with the fence. Mr. Weas stated that he felt he has addressed the concerns stated in the staff report. McRory asked why two antennas. Mr. Weas stated that they need two to meet the demand for 200 some rooms. They need to be able to get all six channels simultaneously. The purpose is to be their own self contained TV supplier. The cost of other service: is prohibitive. Considerable di-cussion followed on the location of the dishes and the pc;sibility of landscape screening. Mr. Weas stated that he d:i not feel that the additional landscaping would be necessar;. He did not feel that the small amout of the dish that would be visible would be unsightly. Hunn stated that he elt that additional landscaping should be included. Lamont stated that at the time the staff report was done he felt that this should be a conceptual review because of the lack of information, however, if the Commission felt that enough information had been provided, final design review approval would be appropriate. McRory moved to grant final design review on Lot 25, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, Christie Lodge Owners Association communications and satellite dish antennae, with no conditions attached. Reynolds seconded. he motion carried with Hunn voting nay. Tract P. Benchmark at Bearer Creek�Water Treatment Plant Security Fence. Design _Review Norm Wood stated that the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority has requested approval to construct a six foot high security fence surrounding a portion of the parking lot in front of the water treatment plant which is located on Tract P. Basis for the request is for security reasons. They have had a breakin into a private vehicle there. they are also continually losing hand tools from their trucks which are parked on the site. Wood stated that in reviewing the situation, the way the plant and agreements are structured, Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes September 5, 1989 Page 3 of 7 Tract P. Benchmark at Beaver Creek_water _Treatment _ Plant Security Fence. DesigRevie n wyl_con_ that the property that they are requesting to build the fence on is Town of Avon property and is not a portion of what was leased to the Water Authority. Consequently, this will require Town Council approval. Wood stated that since there is very limited information, the Commission may want to continue this item until the Town Council rules on this. Wood stated that Jerry Bender was present to answar any questions. Mr. Bender provided a sketch showing the area to be fenced. Discussion followed on the type of fence to be erected. Mr. Bender is requesting a chain link fence, the Staff Report suggested a fence similar to the stockade fence along the Municipal Building. Mr. Bender stated that there is a lot of pedestrian traffic in that area, even late at night. He stated that they have had one major breakin, but have lost many tools. Also, there are a lot of children playing around the area because it is a paved, relatively untraveled area. There are a lot children using skateboards on the paved area, and this is a concern. Considerable discussion followed on the type of fence to be constructed and how many vehicles are usually parked at the site. Discussion also followed on the location of the gates. Doll asked, if the Council approves building the fence, then the applicant would have to come back for design review. Wood stated that they would. He stated that there is something else to consider in the appropriatness of the application. This is not a storage yard, or service yard, it is a parking lot. Also, in the agreements for the property, it was planned for a recreation center, community center, some type of Town facility that could be partially built on top of the water treatment plant, partially on the north s -i- of the water treatment plant. Is a fence going to be appropriate, long term, under those conditions, while it may be appropriate at this time. Hunn asked if a revocable right-of-way permit be issued, whereby if the Town wanted the fence removed they could provide written notice and at the expense of the applicant the fence would be removed. Wood stated that that probably would be one of the conditions that Council would want to attach to any approval. He again I^N I-.

This application was thus continued until the applicant receives approval from the Council. iew Lamont stated that he had received a set of plans that addresses most of the concerns voiced at the past, meeting. He stated that the plp.ns not-, show the proper size culvert. Lamont described the location of the electrical vault and had concerns regarding this location. Discussion followed on the landscaping irrigation. Lamont stated that the color wiil b� red cedar and he is assuming that it will be a clear seal. Reynolds voiced concerns regarding the location of the driveway. He was concerned regarding the grade of the drive, the capability of oncoming traffic to see someone coming down the drive, and the drifting of the snow. Hunn also stated that the driveway cut as far up the hiil as can be is a better solution. Perkins voiced concerns regarding the end elevations. He felt that, aesthetically, the massing and the general appearance of the building are going to have to have some attention. Further discussion followed on the driveway. Also discussed was the amount of excavation proposed. Hunr, stated that he felt the driveway grade is unworkable and the site solution is not practical for this climate. The design solution is not sympathetic to existing topography, the building doesn't work with the site. Also, the sub -grade basement was a concern. Further discussion followed on the above concerns. Perkins moved to deny the proposed residence on Lot 41, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, for the following reasons: Section 6.12 - The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be iocated. Specifically, that all exterior materials have not been noted and that, as far as can be determined, exposed concrete block foundation is being used. More information on exterior materials is needed. Section 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent propert,es.

Specifically that the driveway solutions and the elevation of the basement on this house are not conducive to the particular site, causing a driveway that is an unacceptable percentage of grade. Section 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. Specifically, the massing of the design of the structure needs serious consideration. The large bulkiness blocking that may be a result of the siting of the building is inappropriate for the area. Recommendation to applicart is that a new design solution be pursued that is more compatiule with this site. Hunn seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Chairman Doll asked that the motion be included in the letter of notification to the applicant. The Secretary stated that this would be done.
