ZONING MEETING
The regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was
held on June 5, 1990, at 7:30 PM in the Town Council Chambers
of the Town of Avon Municipal Complex, 400 Benchmark Road,
Avon, Colorado. The meeting was called to order by Chairman
Frank Doll.
Members Present: Frank Doll, Buz Reynolds
Jack Hunn, Terri Jeppson
Clayton McRory, John Perkins
Staff Present: Rick Pylman, Director of Community
Development, Jim Curnutte, Planner
Charlette Pascuzzi, Recording Secretary
Chairman Doll, at roll call noted that all members, except
Sue Railton and Jack Hunn were present.
Jack Hunn arrived at 7:40 P.M.
Jim Curnutte stated that the Commission has seen this
proposal before at its conceptual stage. The applicants are
proposing a single family residence. The lot is almost an
acre in size. The building footprint is about 2,250 square
feet, for a small building area ratio of 6%. Building square
footage is approximately 2,500 and the maximum building
height is 33 feet.
The house is set back nearly 100 feet from Wildridge Road
West and 20 feet from the west property line and 50 feet from
the south lot line.
A landscape plan has been provided. The building is a two
story gable roof building. The exterior materials are
proposed to be 10" diameter peeled and stained logs, stained
with silver oak, mortar white is the proposed chinking and is
also the color of the stucco that will be used around all
exposed foundation walls.
Curnutte then reviewed the criteria, stating that this
project is in conformance with the zoning code and other
applicable regulations of the Town. Regarding the
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

suitability of the improvement, the exterior materials are
hand peeled log, wood trim and stucco with cedar shake
shingles and regarding compatibility, the house is sited in
about the best location on the lot for not only grade but
also to accomodate the grade of the driveway. Landscape
clusters have been provided around the entire structure.
Regarding the compatibility with the topography, Staff feels
the building does work well with the site. The appearance
of this residence from neighboring properties and public ways
seems acceptable. The residence will set lower than the
surrounding roads and most of the adjacent lots in the area.
The staff sees no conflict with the objective that no
improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the
vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
The proposal is in general conformance with Goals, Policies
and Programs of the Town of Avon.
Curnutte stated that the Staff recommends approval with the
following conditions: 1. The driveway entrance must comply
with the applicable Town standards, a road cut permit is
required; 2. A more detailed drainage plan be submitted for
staff review at the time of building permits.
Chairman Doll commented that the main concern of the
Commission, at the time of the site visit, was the driveway.
Bruce Kelly stated that the staff had stated that the steep
part of the driveway would have to be at least 1-1/2 to 1
grade. The original site plan shows a 2 to 1 grade. They
have brought the entrance of the driveway, from the road to
the property line, to a four percent grade instead of a six
percent grade. Another concern of the 6ommission was the
width of the driveway. Making the driveway too much wider
would cause more of a problem with the grade on the slope to
Wildridge Road. The excavator and architect recommended
leaving the driveway at the present width. The width is now
a little over 12 feet. Kelly then provided samples of the
colors. The stucco will be called cottonwood, but is very
close to the mortar white to be used in chinking. He
provided a sample of the silver oak color also. Kelly stated
that the main reason that they are going with the cedar shake
shingles is that at the previous meeting the Commission
pointed out the visibility of the roof.
Discussion followed on the dormer detail. Further discussion
followed on the width of the driveway. The applicant plans
to gravel the drive and give it approximately a year or year
PLANNING AND ZONIONG COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

and a half to become compacted and then asphalt it. What
they would like to do after the first winter is chip and seal
it to be able to plow it better. Also, it then wouldn't take
quite as much asphalt.
Jack Hunn stated that what has been done in the past is to
have the first twenty feet or so in paved, so that gravel is
not dragged out into the street. Also there needs to be some
sort of bond to give the Town some mechanisim to trigger the
paving as proposed. Hunn also made some suggestions
regarding the landscaping. He asked if this was an irrigated
plan. The applicant stated that it is not in the beginning,
but will have a drip system at a later date.
Perkins agreed with the staff's comments about the drainage.
John Perkins moved to grant approval to Lot 63, Block 3,
Wildridge Subdivision, Kelly Residence, Final Design Review,
with the conditions that the driveway entrance must comply
with the applicable requirements of the Town of Avon and that
the driveway be made as wide as possible and still maintain
an acceptable grade on the driveway; and, a more detailed
drainage plan be submitted for staff review at the time of
building permit application.
Terri Jeppson seconded.
The motion carried unanimously.
Rick Pylman stated that the Commission has seen this
application before a couple times. It was originally a house
sited on the eastern portion of the lot. Then the applicant
came wanting to build two single family houses on the lot.
Staff explained to the applicant the definition of a duplex
and if he wanted to pursue a subdivision, the procedure for
that. He may do that one day, but now he has come back with
the same design that he has reworked himself and has now
located on the western portion of the site and would like to
rescind his previous approval and is asking final approval
for this house. Pylman stated that the one real change from
tris previous house is taking it from a two story to a single
story residence. He stated that the residence is in
conformance with all Avon zoning regulations. The specific
driveway design must meet Town of Avon design standards upon
issuance of a building permit.

Lot 38 Block 2. Wildridge Subdivision Ackerman Residence
Design Review, Continued
The materials are very similar to the previously proposed
residence. It is basically a stucco house with a mushroom
color and a cedar shingle roof. Pylman stated that althought
there is a lot of grading, the lot is big enough that it will
not impact adjacent properties in a negative way. Regarding
the compatibility with site topography, the fact that the
applicant wants to go with a one story house on a sloping lot
makes it difficult to minimize the grading that will be
required. Staff does not feel that this approach to building
design is compatible with site topography. Pylman stated
that this appears to be a complete application. There is a
landscape plan provided, building materials are present, etc.
Staff's concerns are regarding the grading plan that is
forced by the type of architecture.
Tom Wagenlander, representing Mr. Ackerman, stated that he is
here to answer any questions and relay any comments back to
Mr. Ackerman.
Jack Hunn stated that he has no problem with the house in
terms of style or floor plan or finishes, but the problem is
that the single story house is being forged on a site that
dictates a two story solution. There are radical grade
changes from the house to the existing topography that will
apparently be handled in a massive regrading and some amount
of boulder retaining walls. As far as the concept of the
future unit, Hunn cautioned that the distance between those
two units should be greater than what is shown on the plan.
He is also concerned with the level of documentation. He
feels that the plans are not well prepared. He will have a
hard time supporting this application for those reasons.
John Perkins concurred with Hunn's comments qnd stated that
the grading plan is very difficult to read. He feels that
the building does not work with the topography of the site.
He stated that there needs to be some detail as to the fascia
treatments; are there any window trim treatments; the north
side maybe needs a little more glass; overall the drawings
need better detail, better clarification.
Reynolds suggested that the applicant try to soften the
amount of cut by the placing of this house on the lot.
Considerable discussion followed on the placement of the
house on the site.
Chairman Doll suggested continuing this application until
,sWA vW N
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

Design Review, Continued
such a time that Mr. Ackerman can maybe compromise between
the two solutions he has presented so far.
McRory moved to continue Lot 38, Block 2, Wildridge
Subdivision, Ackerman Residence, until such a time as so
designated by Staff, when the applicant returns with better
engineered drawings of site work, elevations and better
detail drawing of the site plan.
Reynolds seconded.
The motion carried unanimously.
Lot 3r, RevBlock 3. Benchmark at Bea,. -or Creek Valley Business
Cents ision to Design Review
Rick Pylman stated that the revisions are really a site plan
revision. The applicant felt that a better site plan
solution would be to separate out the car wash. The car wash
is now a separate free-standing building. The main building,
housing the restaurant and office uses, is sited in
relatively the same position. The only other issue involved
is the minor revisions to the architecture necessary and a
change in the roofing materials.
Steve Riden, representing Jeff Gibson, stated that they wish
to separate the car wash as they feel it inhances the
circulation and improves the quality of the original building
and also allowing them to separate functions. They will be
lowering the original building about 18 inches, as they do
not need the height for the bays. The materials for the car
wash will be identical to the original building. They feel
they gc-t better usage out of the site with more parking, etc.
The colors have not been changed. Since the car wash bays
will be moved, they will be filling in those areas with wood
frame with siding, so that when retail comes in there they
can put in a store front without too much problem. Mr. Riden
stated that they want to propose the use of asphalt shingles.
They desire a smooth, even texture, and something of less
maintenance. He cited the future availability of red cedar,
and price increases as reasons for this request.
Discussion followed on the color and texture of the asphalt
shingles. The applicant did not have a sample of the
shingle. Discussion followed on the weight of the shingle.
It is a fire -rated shingle.
Considerable discussion followed or, the changes to be made to
the original building.
PLANNING AND
June 5, 1990

ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
Discussion followed on the placement of the car wash and the
possible problem of the lines of cars that may be backed up.
Discussion also followed on the placement of the trash
enclos,ire. Discussion also followed on the landscaping.
Several conversations were being conducted at the same time,
therefore, none of them are clear.
Hunn stated that he feels there will be a problem with the
car wash and the cars that will be backed up into the street.
Also, of concern is the turning radius. He also has a
concern if there is a third building on the site. He liked
the building as approved in terms of the scale and mass and
felt that it could be sort of a mother hen to a smaller
building. Now, there would be a complex of three buildings
and it starts to get busy and confusing. He would not be in
favor of the third building. He is concerned with the limo
service and the number of vehicles he will store on the site
diminishing the available parking for the public. He
recommends in considering the parking requirements for this
building, the number of spaces used for storage of vehicles
not count for their parking allocation, so that there will be
enough spaces 10c the shops, restaurant, etc. He was
concerned with the location of the dumpster and the changes
to the landscaping. Snow storage will also be a problem.
Hunn stated that he feels that this project is in the
exit -entrance points to Beaver Creek Resort and seen in the
context with the backdrop of the Sunridge complex, which is
all cedar roofs, and feels that this building should still
have cedar shakes. He feels that the asphalt shingles would
detract from the image of the building.
Riden stated that they have supplied at least twice the
amount of space for cars at the car wash as the one next to
Paddy O'Day's, which was used as an example of the possible
problems. Further discussion followed on this matter.
Riden stated that the dumpster would be enclosed. Further
discussion followed on the landscaping and snow storage.
Discussion followed on the area for the parking of the stored
vehicles.
Reynolds stated that he liked the two color roof. He was
also concerned with the snow storage. More discussion
followed on the entrance and exit of the car wash.
Discussion followed on the landscaping, parking, etc. in
connection with Sunridge.

Chairman Doll summarized the Commission concerns as being;
whether there is enough space to park the cars that are
coming in to be washed; the question of getting together
with the State and the Town regarding the landscaping of the
main driveway; The problem with the adjacent property
owners, regarding their landscaping and an access back and
forth; the concern of the adjacent landowner regarding the
trash enclosure; and the roof.
The representative of Sunridge stated that he stated the
concerns because he had been approached previously about the
possibility of using part of the Sunridge parking for
commercial parking, and Sunridge does not have adequate
amounts. Their concern is overflow parking coming on the
their property. He feels that a solution could be worked out
regarding the dumpster enclosure by putting some screening
behind it.
Jack Hunn moved to deny the reconfiguration of the density on
the site, as submitted, as it complicates the traffic flow
and site planning issues.
John Perkins seconded.
The motion carried four to two with Terri Jeppson and Buz

Chairman Doll stated that since this is a conceptual design
review there will not be any formal actions taken at this
time.
The Chairman stated that there were two members of the
Commission, Buz Reynolds and Jack Hunn, that have conflicts
of interest in this matter.
Jim Curnutte stated that there have been some revisions made
since the staff report was written and the applicants will be

pointing them out as they go along.
Curnutte then gave a short chronology of the history of the
property and described the zoning and development plans that
were approved at the time of annexation.
Curnutte stated that the applicants would like the Commission
to offer conceptual comments with regards to the proposal to
resubdivide and submit a new plan, for lots 2 - 12 and Tract
A.
Curnutte stated that this type of use and density is
currently approved by way of the previously approved SPA
plan.
The proposal includes 240 units ( 20, 12 unit buildings).
Currently there are 139 development rights assigned to the
property. With the fractionalization being proposed here,
the applicants will be well under the allowed number of units
they could put on the property.
Curnutte stated that upon vacating all the interior lot
lines, the resulting land area would total approximately 9.3
acres. The amount of open space provided on this plan is
less than on the previously approved plan.
The buildings are proposed to be three story, wood frame
buildings with pitched roofs. The applicant will describe
the materials, etc. Building height will be about 44 feet
from finish grade to the peak of the highest ridgeline. Two
access drives are proposed to come in off Eaglebend Drive,
although the applicant is considering an entrance off of
Stonebridge Drive and eliminating one of the accesses on
Eaglebend Drive. There are six different types of floor
plans being proposed. A landscape is now being provided.
The property is located in the Riverfront district, which
provides some recommendations:
Buildings should be set back from the river to
preserve its natural character;
Building heights should be three or four stories,
sloped roofs, indigenous materials and muted colors;
Building facade should be stepped down as it
approaches the river; and

Provide access to the river for the public.
The existing boundary line of Tract A is currently being
proposed to be shifted, and Staff feels that this is a good
idea to promote efficient and good site planning. Staff
would like to see that the line be placed so it would not
preclude the construction of a future recreation trail along
the property and parallel with the river. Staff recommends
15 feet from the bank.
Curnutte stated that at 240 units, the potential population
could warrant the need of public transportation and Staff
would like to see the site plan include, although it may not
be necessary at this time, two locations for a future bus
stop.
With regard to recreational amenities for this amount of
people, the current plan includes a volleyball court, a
basketball court has been added, some charcoal grills
throughout. Staff would like the applicants to consider a
community building for the residents to provide indoor
recreational amenities in the winter. The building could
also be used as an on-site management office.
The applicant should address the demand that this project
will be creating on an already short supply of child care in
the valley.
Curnutte stated that the internal road widths and turning
radii do not appear to be adequate for fire department
vehicles. Irternal fire hydrants will be necessary. Fire
alarm systems will be required.
Detailed information regarding drainage, grading and
revegetation has not been received. Extensive buffering
should be provided along the west property line to minimize
the impacts of this project on the adjacent property.
Jeff Spanel, representing Eaglebend Partnership, reviewed the
history of this project. He stated that they have been
working with the Town since January. They were awarded, on
April 5th, a five millon dollar allocation of bonds from the
State of Colorado. In order to get this allocation, they had
to agree to reserve 40% of the units for affordable housing,
which restricts the rents. They are proposing to push that
number to 50%. The cap on one bedroom units would be $375.00
to a maximum for a three bedroom units of $485.00. The

balance of the program will be at market rates. They also
have received a tax credit allocation from the Colorado
Housing Finance Authority. They now have enough financing to
do the first two phases of the project. The next phase of
the project is total market rate.
Phase one will probably be the western part of the project.
He pointed out the buildings on the drawings. He then
pointed out Phase Two and Phase Three which will be the river
front buildings.
The Council asked that they include some for sale units for a
mix of rental and owner occupied units. At this time they do
not know how it will work, but they have agreed to try it.
That is why Phase Three is reserved for this.
Spanel stated that Vail Associates is now a fifty percent
partner in the project. Eaglebend will be responsible for
the construction of the units and Vail Associates will take
care of the short fall. The restrictions put on using public
funds will keep Vail Asociates from getting preferential
treatment on unit allocation.
Spanel described some of the floor plans, the colors and the
roofing. hie stated that they are in the process of
negotiating a property management contract with Lincoln
Propert4es.
Spanel stated that, regarding the community building, because
of the restricted rents, they do not know if they can afford
it. That may be one of the trade offs made to keep this
project affordable.
Discussion followed on Tract A and the realignment of it.
Doll stated that this is one of the steepest river banks in
the valley and he would prefer to limit the access there
rather than increase it.
John Perkins suggested that if groups of the buildings could
be taken off the ninety degree to each other so it would be
more a cluster concept rather than so linear.
Spanel stated that there are some physical cor,�traints on the
site in the way the water line goes through the site.
Perkins also voice concern that all the buildings are the
same design. Spanel reminded the Commission that t'"ey are
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

Page 11 of 19
limited on funds. He stated that Bill James had met with
them at tKe architect's office and they had looked at several
sketches and had arrived at this one.
Perkins stated he agrees with the staff comments, especially
regarding a community building and public transportation.
Spanel stated that there is no problem with the
transportation issue. Perkins stated he favors an entry off
of the east side and a strong landscape barrier along the
east side.
McRory stated he would like to see more renderings from the
different directions. He did not feel that this presentation
wa., done very well. Discussion followed on this matter.
McRory suggested using different color schemes on the
buildings to help break up the massing, since all the
buildings are the same design. He stated he w.3uld like to
see more work put in on the landscaping. McRory stated that
because of the need for this type project, he, as a
Commission member, will be very flexible.
Jeppson stated that she likes the way the units are situated
so that there is a common landscaping area .nd everyone sees
green. She stated that she would like to see the two courts
put more in the interior to protect the people on the east
side of Stonebridge Drive. She prefers to see the entrances
where they are currently shown. She stated her concern is
also a day care facility. Discussion followed on the
requirements for day care facilities. Discussion followed on
maybe using one unit as a day care facility.
Jeppson stated she would like to see maybe three different
style buildings, rather than all the same, and different
colors.
Perkins suggested that the applicant could save some money by
eliminating the wing walls. Spanel stated that they are
there to lend some privacy to the patio areas.
Perkins stated that he feels they will not be happy with the
grey and black trim as proposed. Further discussion followed
on this matter.
It was suggested that playground equipment be included also.
Chairman Doll suggested the applicant consider these comments
and suggestions when preparing for the final design review.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

Jim Curnutte stated that there are actually two applications
presented. One is a SPA Amendment or Zone Change, and a
Special Review Use application. The applicant is proposing
to transfer one development right from Lot 7 to Lot 70 and
one developmenmt righrt from Lot 11 to Lot 71, in Block 4,
Wildridge Subdivision. -urrently all four of the lots are
approved for duplex lots. Lot 7 and Lot 11 are about an acre
and a half and almost an acre resrectively. The upper one
third of each of these lots are currently restricted by plat
as non -developable areas. The upper lots slope at somewhere
between 25-30%. Lots 70 and 71 are almost an acre and a half
of an acre, respectively. Their average slopes appear to be
about 20%.
Curnutte reviewed the criteria for approva'. All four of the
lots are undeveloped and are currently in compliance with the
zoning code. The transfer would occur totally within Block 4
of the Wildridge Subdivision and therefore would not change
the previous density of that area. There are currently 2
single family lots, 78 duplex lots, 3 triplex lots, 3
fourplex lots and two open space tracts within this Block.
Due to the steepness of Lots 7 and 11, the proposed density
transfer would appear to be beneficial to that area. The
rezoning of Lots 70 and 71 to triplex would not appesr to be
compatible with surrounding uses, as they are all duplex in
this area.
If Lots 70 and 71 were to receive a third residential
development right, they would have the capability to request
a fractionalization. At this time single family and duplexes
cannot be fractionalized.
Not enough detail has been provided to determine whether or
not there is sufficient lot area necessary for efficient site
development.
The applicant has indicated that he intends to vacate the lot
line between Lots 70 and 71 and resubdivide and create six
single family lots. To date no information has been provided
on this concept. Staff feels it is essential to receive some
sort of sketch plan to see if this is even feasit;le.
Staff recommendation is that if it is the applicants intent
to transfer the development rights for the purpose of
constructing triplex or any kind of fractionalized project on
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
June 5, 1990
Page 13 of 19
Lots 70 and 71, Staff would recommend denial of such an
application due to its incompatibility with surrounding
properties and surrounding zoning.
If on the other hand, the applicant is only interested in
this request for the sole purpose of creating six single
family lots on the combined areas of Lots 70 and 71, staff
recommends that both applications be tabled until such time
that a plan is received to determine that the idea makes
sense.
Reynolds stated he thought that ther, was a restriction that
if a development right was transferred to a duplex lot it
could not be used. He cited the transfer done in the past on
Lot 23.
Curnutte stated that Mr. Nottingham had agreed in writing not
to use that development right for the purpose of constructing
a triplex or fractionalizing. The development right is
simply being stored.
Mark Simon stated that the Staff has covered this issue very
well. What they are trying to do is change the lots at the
top of Wildridge Road to single family lots and move the
density to the lots at the end of Ferret Lane. By taking
Lots 70 and 71 and splitting them into six single family lots
each one of those single family lots will be approximately
the size that Lot 72 and Lot 68 are if those were split into
single family lots. He feels that this would be consistent
with the lots imr.ediately near by. He is asking the
Commission to approve the idea, subject to the following
conditions: 1. No fractionalization is possible on these
lots; 2. The lots will not be subject to the building of a
single triplex building on each lot. They will be used only
for the purpose of building single family homes.
Chairman Doll then opened the public hearing.
Reynolds stated that he had received four phone calls from
neighboring properties stating that they are opposed.
Curnutte stated that two letters. One is from H.E. Stocker,
Jr., owner of Lot 83, Block 4, stating that he is opposed to
the granting of the transfer and objects to triplex units
being constructed adjacent to their property. They feel it
would lessen the value of their property. The second letter
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING M.NUTES
June 5, 1990
Page 14 of 19
is from Robert and Kathleen Kunis, owners of Lot 68. They
state that they purchased their property with the belief that
the surrounding property would remain zoned and allow either
single family or duplex units and are concerned that this
proposal would change that significantly. They do not feel
that the applicant would suffer any undue hardship if this
proposal is denied, because they would still have their
existing zoning.
Chairman then closed the public hearing.
Chairman Doll stated that he thought the applicant was going
about this backwards. He feels that all the triplex and
fractionalization questions could be solved by coming in with
the subdivision plans.
Hunn stated that he agrees that triplexes are not appropriate
up there and certainly not fractionalization. The conditions
proposed would perhaps make sense if the Commission could see
the development plan for the six single family lots. He
questions whether six single family homes could be fit with
adequate space in between. Minimum space between them, grade
changes, Town of Avon road standards would have to be met,
and many more challenges would have to be considered. It
would also force the building mass out to the limits of the
property setbacks. He will be reluctant to act on any
portion of the proposal before he could see the whole
proposal. Hunn stated that he also feels that this should be
tabled until more information is received and the property
owners are informed again.
McRory moved to continue this Special Review Use for Lots 7,
11, 70, 71, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, until such a time
that the applicant can supply enough detail of the intended
use of the lots for determination of sufficent lot area to ba
developed. Also, that the adjoining property owners ae
properly notifed of proposed development.
Jeppson seconded.
The motion carried unanimously.
Lot 67/68 Block 2 Benchmark at Beaver Creek, City Market.
Design Review
Rick Pylman's opening comments are not transcribable, due to
the fact that he was making them at the same time as passing
out the plans.

Page 15 of 19
Lot 67/68 Block 2 Benchmark at Beaver Creek City_Market,
Design Review Continued
He stated that this review is for the entry only.
Pylman stated that the Commission should carefully review the
color samples of the roofing material and the conformance
with the zoning code.
Mark Donaldson, representing City Market, Inc., stated that
he would like to briefly introduce the entry revisions and
then recap from the conceptual review because they have made
some movement in that direction.
He stated that the entry will be the first part of
construction for City Market. The entry will be realigned
from the south facing, side entry to right through the
middle. He pointed out the location on a revised site plan
from the last meeting. The existing middle drive is being
widened and that will be in line with the new entry features.
The new roof design will shed no water or snow from any
portion of the building, anywhere on any ground surface.
Everything is discharged through roof drainage systems.
Enternal roof drainage that goes down below grade. They will
have a completely dry area around the pedestrian way. The
architecture of the entry feature has been designed to
balance with the new expansions as well as what is there now.
Hopefully, at the next meeting, they will be coming back in
with a new color scheme, accent colors, use of materials,
etc. He stated that they are proposing the metal roof color
to a blue. There are two or three shades of blues and greens
around the neighborhood. They do not want to match the same
colors. It is a high quality metal roof product, and is
their standard deep blue, and has been approved by City
Market. There will be additional colors introduced on the
entry,and they are the highlights of the convex shaped light
features. Those will be surface mounted concave lights that
send the light outside the fixture. This will be done in the
deep blue. The next use of materials will be the split Face
block and ribbed block.
Discussion followed on the metal roof. It will be non -sheen.
Discussion followed on the placement of the public phones,

Rick Pylman stated that since this is conceptual, he did not
do a staff report on this item.
He stated that The Annex was reviewed with a fast food site.
Included in that development is a fifty foot dedicated access
easement that provided some access from Avon Road through the
area. During the Master Plan process this concept was taken
a step further and it is recommended to be a collector road.
When the Master Plan was finished the Town commissioned a
traffic analysis of the whole East Beaver Creek Blvd.,
shopping center district and the final draft should be
completed in about two weeks. This report should give the
Town alternatives of alignments and right-of-way widths, etc.
The Town Council will have to choose one of those
alternatives and in the future pursue that as a traffic flow
area in that part of town. At this time they do not know
what that is and he hates to look at a project and say that a
study needs to be done, but that is what he is telling the
Commission at this time. He recommends that no changes be
made to the existing situation, until those alternatives are
identified. It will only be a few weeks away.
Plans have been provided for a new configuration for a
Hardees restaurant. Originally the Kentucky Fried Chicken

utilized a small site plan and it worked well in the confined
area. Any other fast food restaurant will require more space
and will require some site plan amendments. Pat Barron is
has a potential user of th9 space and is here with a
conceptual review.
Pat Barron reviewed the history of the easement. They were
first told to place the easament between the retail portion
and the restaurant portion, which they did. Then Norm Wood
sent a memo stating that they did not want the road to bisect
the property, they want it to skirt the two properties. The
property was redesigned again to accomodate this. What they
want to do is go back to the original plan. He would not
like to wait for the study. He stated that Brian Pesch
agrees with this concept. He stated that the original plan
is the one that will work for Hardees. They have an approved
franchise and approved site, subject to the Town's approval.
The Town's approval is the last issue to be dealt with. It
is really a timing issue. They have someone ready to go now.
Considerable discussion followed on the matter of the
location of the easement. Discussion followed on the
proposed site plan.
Mark Donaldson gave a history of Tract G and the property of
182 Avon Corp.
Jack Huhn stated that he would like some time to evaluate the
site plan based on its own merits and since the traffic study
is two weeks away and another two we3ks for the Council, this
would not seem unreasonable. Mr. Barron stated that he did
not have the time problem, it is Hardees that is pushing.
Donaldson stated that what they are asking for is comments
from the Commission that they can take to Council next
meeting. They would like to have a memo to the Council
stating the Commission's feelings on this item.
Discussion followed on the parking situation on this site.
Barron stated that he was told by Norm Wood that the Town did
not have the money to buy the road, and if they would give
them the easement, then parking would be allowed to park
along it. The easement was a condition of getting approval.
Reynolds stated that basically, with the previous apprc.
the Commission has done their part. Now it is up to thF-

Council to come up with the road siting. The Commission was
divided in half regarding this concept.
Worksession on the Grand on Avon
Rick Pylman stated that this item has been discussed with the
Council and it is felt that the Commission should be aware of
what is happening.
Mark Donaldson stated that they are adding a porte-cochere on
tna south side of the center of the Grand on Avon, formally
know as the Peregrine. Donaldson stated that they will be
coming back at the next meeting with a formal variance
application for building within six inches of the front yard
setback for the porte-cochere.
Discussion followed on the proposed plans and propnsed
tenants.
The main thing they are trying to do is generate a real focal
point.
Discussion followed on the reasons that a bus stop would not
work. Pylman stated that they feel they would be better off
a couple hundred feet away.
Discussion followed on the landscaping and walkways, etc.
The colors were also discussed.
The new roof form was discussed.
Discussicn of using stone vs all stucco followed.
Reynolds moved to adjourn.
