PZC Packet 030690Staff Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission March 6, 1990 Lot 3, Block 3, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Conceptual Design Review INTRODUCTION Lot 3, Block 3, Benchmark at Beaver Creek is located at the corner of U.S. Highway 6 and West Beaver Creek Boulevard, just south of Sunridge Condominiums. The aprcel is zoned Residential High Density/Commercial and currently has no development rights available. This project has been in for a previous conceptual review and issues identified at that time included architectural style, amount of paving, pavement in setbacks and general congestion of the site. The applicant has reduced the square footage of building proposed and is considering phasing development of the two buildings. The amount of paved area has been significantly reduced and a greater percentage of landscaping has been introduced to the site. STAFF COMMENTS The staff feels that the following issues should be addressed in conentual discussion of this proposal: - Access and circulation - Phasing proposal Respectfully submitted, 1 LvN Rick Pylman Director of Community Development Date 3161 GL2 Denise Hill, Secretary &ntd.P /LLC r The Commission requested that the applicant bring a massing model showing both phases of this project and a sign program back to the Commission. They also directed the applicant to provide more information regarding the parking. As this was a conceptual design review, no formal action was taken at this time. 00*k ^ STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 6, 1990 Lot 7, Filing 1, Eaglebend $ubdivision South Harbor Development Duplex Residence Design Review INTRODUCTION South Harbor Development Company is proposing to build a duplex residence on Lot 7, Filing 1, Eaglebend Subdivision.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION March 6, 1990 Lot 71, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek North Court - Allenbrook Developers Commercial Project Design Review INTRODUCTION Allenbrook Enterprises Developers is proposing a commercial building of 10,730 square feet on Lot 71, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. The North Court building has a footprint of 7692 square feet and sits on a 24,829 square foot lot, for a building ratio of 30%. The parking and sidewalk areas constitute 50% of the site and landscape area makes up the remaining 20%. The leasable retail area of the building is approximately 7500 square feet, with 3230 square feet of second story loft space. The applicant has provided 32 parking spaces and 1 loading berth. At a conceptual review of this project, the Planning and Zoning Commission identified four areas of concern with the proposal. Those concerns included sidewalks across and to the site, parking configuration and the design of the gable end on the west elevation. The architect has addressed these issues with an amended site plan that changes the parking configuration, and adds a sidewalk. The gable end has been mcdified and is shown as the west elevation of the drawing set. The Town Staff has several issues that merit discussion in the review of this project. The current site plan details three vehicle entrances to the property; the shared loading/access with Buck Creek Plaza and two access points to North Court. The Town engineering staff feels strongly that this site utilize no more than two access points, and that those access points should align with existing access points across the street. A concern related to access is the design of the loading facility. As designed, trucks will be forced to back out onto Beaver Creek Place. Given current and future traffic flow, we feel that this is a very poor loading situation for a 10,000 square foot commercial building. The Staff interpretation of the parking regulations shows that this building is 11 parking spaces short of the required Staff Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission March 6, 1990 Page 2 of 4 Lot 71, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek North Court - Allenbrook Developers Commercial Program Design Review amount. This figure is arrived at by calculating the parking demand of 10,730 square feet at 4 spaces per thousand for a total requirement of 43 parking spaces. The applicant is requesting an interpretation of parking requirements similar to that used for Annex development. Staff cannot support that request. An additional concern of the Staff is the method of handling off site drainage. There is an existing culvert on site which feeds into a storm sewer system. The staff feels that a drip structure and drainage per system should be integrated into the site development. STAFF COMMENTS 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: It is the interpretation of the Staff that this proposal requires 43 parking spaces. The proposed site plan indicates 32 spaces, 11 short of required parking. 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 located. COMMENT: The type and quality of both building and landscape materials is consistent with Town guidelines. Staff would recommend that a ground ccver be specified for the landscape areas. 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. COMMENT: Staff has no concern with impacts from the building design. We do, however, have a serious concern with potential negative impact created by the design of the loading and access points. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. Staff Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission March 6, 1990 Page 3 of 4 Lot 71, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek North Court - Allenbrook Developers Commercial Project Design Review COMMENT: The improvement works relatively well with site topography. Parking lot grade is at 5%, which may be considered at the upper end of acceptable standards for parking areas. 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. COMMENT: The overall visual appearance of this project is positive, although Staff feels improvements could be made to the landscape plan by adding a ground cover, adding some evergreens and increasing the s)ze of the aspen trees. In addition, there is some concern regarding the roof line and the rear elevations of the building. 6.16 - The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired. COMMENT: Staff sees no conflict with this criteria. The archiceture of the building is very compatible with the area, yet dissimilar enough to create its own image. 6.17 - The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. COMMENT: The proposal is in general conformance with Town objectives, with the exception to parking regulations and engineering access standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff feels that with the addition of a color board and a massing model, the application is complete. There are several issues that Staff feels should be addressed.
