Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION
The Christie Lodge Owners Association has applied for a
variance from front and side yard a:etback provisions of the
Zoning Code. The purpose of the variance request is to allow
construction of a swimming pool with retractable canvas

The proposed pool enclosure would encroach 11.25 feet into
the 25 feet setback along Avon Road and 6.25 feet into the
7.5 feet setback along I-70.
Schematic Drawings showing the proposed pool layout and
covering structure have been submitted to assist in
evaluating the variance request. The applicant has requested
a conceptual design review of these schematic drawings
concurrently with consideration of the variance request.
STAFF COMMENTS
Before acting on a variance request, the Commission shall
consider the following factors with respect to the requested
variance:
A. The relationship of the requested variance to other
existing or potential uses and structures in the viciniLY;
B. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal
interpretation and enforcem_nts of a specified regulation is
necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of
treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the
objectives of this title without grant of special privilege;
C. The effect of the requested variance on light and air,
distribution of population, transportation and traffic
facilit es, public facilities and utilities, and public
safety;
D. Such other factors and criteria as the board deems
appl cable to the proposed variance.

Design Review Modifications
INTRODUCTION
Design Review approval was granted for a single family
residence on Lot 54, Block 3, Wildridge by the Planning and
Zoning Commission at the June 6, 1989 meeting. The applicant
is now requesting design review approval for some
modifications to the previously approved design. In general
these modifications consist of:
1. Reduction in building size by approximately 300 sq. ft.
2. Eliminate deck from west elevation and add bay window.
3. Eliminate garage projection beyond building as shown on
south elevation.
4. Revised windows and window treatment.
5. Fireplace changed from stone to stucco.
6. Roofing material changed from cedar shake to asphalt
shingles.
In addition, the retaining walls along the cut side of the
driveway will no longer be required. The solid rock
encountered in the driveway excavation has eliminated the
need for these retaining walls. This change is not reflected
on the revised drawings.
STAFF COMMENTS
The revised plans seem to retain the general appearance and
design characteristics of the original approved design. The
most significant changes appear to be to the west elevation
with the elimination of the porch and the change in roofing
materials from cedar shake to asphalt shingles.
The previous approval contained two conditions:
1. A more thoroughly developed landscape plan be submitted
for the staff to review and approve, prior to issuance of a
building permit; and
2. Engineered drawings for the retainage be submitted with
the building permit application.

parcel, located near the west end of Nottingham Road in the
I/C (Industrial/Commercial) Zone District. The proposed
development consists of an approximately 10,500 sq. ft.
masonry building with a metal roof and matching metal trim.

District include warehouse, laboratories, electrical
substations, light manufacturing plants, wholesale sales
outlets, showrooms, industrial, construction and wholesale
offices and accessory buildings. General commercial offices
are allowed only as a special review use. Use of space
designated as office should be clarified in the application
to determine if a special review use approval will be
required.
STAFF COMMENTS
The following comments are based upon the information
provided with the application. Grading and drainage plan,
fully dimensioned site plan, specified building colors or
color rendering and detailed sign program were not included
with application.
1. Proposed development may require use of public street for
maneuvering of larger trucks into building and loading dock
areas.

potential truck access.

Sonnen Halde, 16 Unit Residential Complex
Final Design Review Revision
INTRODUCTION
Franz Elsigan, owner of Lot 8, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver
Creek, is requesting a revision to the plans approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission on March 21, 1989, for the
Sonnen Halde project. Mr. Elsigan is requesting a change
from wood shake shingles, as indicated on the approved plans,
to asphalt shingles.
The applicant's reasoning is that they consider shake
shingles to be a greater fire hazard and would increase
insurance premimums for potential buyers. The applicant
stated they are trying to keep the costs of the project as
low as possible.
STAFF RECOMMMENDATION
If the Commission finds the change from wood shake shingles
to asphalt shingles would be compatible with the approved
plans and surrounding development, approval is recommended.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Introduce Application;
2. Presentation by Applicant;
3. Commission Consideration;
4. Act on Application.
