Lot 63, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Grand On Avon
Revised Design Review - Partial Building
INTRODUCTION
On June 19, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted final
design review to a Fortion of the Grand On Avon project. The
approval was for the porte cochere addition to th- south elevation
of the building. At that time, the applicant was considering relocating
Benchmark Road to accommodate the expansion. The applicant is no longer
interested in relocating the street and has adjusted the porte cochere
accordingly.
The previous width of the porte cochere was 30' to the outside of the
columns. The revised Porte cochere is 23' in width. This change
leaves 6' of open area to the property line.
The architecture of the porte cochere remains essentially unchanged
but has been revised to incorporate previous planning and zoning
commission recommendations.
At our meeting of July 5, 1990, a color scheme for the Grand on Avon
was discussed and tabled. The applicant will be presenting a revised
color scheme for discussion.
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: The previous porte cochere was granted a setback
variance that will allow for this modification.
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 porte cochere is a suitable improvement to the
Grand on Avon building as previously tiscussed. The suggestions of
the Planning and Zoning Commission at our previous meeting have been
incorporated into the design.
6.13 - The compatibility of the design. to minimize site impacts
to adjacent properties.

the previous Planning and Zoning approval.
6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as
viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
COMMENT: The visual appearance of this proposal is positive.
The applicant has incorporated suggestions of the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Other than narrowing the depth of the project,
there is little change from the previous approval.
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.

Lot 38, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision, Amendment #4
Robert Borg Duplex
Final Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Robert Borg is proposing to construct a mirror image duplex on Lot
38, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Amendment #4.
Lot 38 is .25 of an acre (10,890 square feet) in size and the
building coverage is approximately 2,800 square feet for a building
area ratio of approximately 26%. The floor area of the building
including garage is approximately 7,315 square feet for a ratio of
68%. Nearly 54% of the lot, or approximately 5,805 square feet is
covered with impervious materials. Maximum building height is 35
feet from finished grade to the peak of the highest ridge line.
A landscape plan has been provided which indicates species size
and quanti'.;1. No information has been provided regarding future
irrigation ')f landscape materials. The applicant has indicated a
landscape budget of $1,000 for four spruce, three aspen, and sixteen
juniper. Disturbed areas will be reseeded with tall fescue.
The building is a three story, wood frame building with a hip roof.
Exterior building materials include stucco, cedar decking, and red
cedar shake shingles. A brochura showing the two proposed tones of
stucco color (sandlewood beige and manor white) has been provided
for review. The first level of the building contains four covered
parking spaces (garages). The surface parking area of the lot
would appear to easily accommodate an additional ten cars. The
second level of the building consits of four bedrooms, four bathrooms,
and a laundry room per side. The third level contains a bedroom,
two bathrooms, a study, a kitchen, and the living dining room. Each
dwelling unit contains five bedroms and six bathrooms.
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: Prior to the submittal of this duplex design review
application the applicant approached the Town Staff and inquired about
the possibility of constructing an employee housing project on the
lot. The preliminary layout of the building showed that six people
would be housed on each side of the building. Four bedrooms were
provided on the first floor and two on the second floor. The basement
level of the building was to be used for storage.
The applicant was informed that such a use on a duplex lot was not in
conformance with the Avon Zoning Code and out of character with the
lots on either side.

Robert Borg Duplex
Final Design Review
STAFF COMMENTS:
The applicant has since amended his building design somewhat and
has indicated that the use of the building will be limited to a
single family residence on each side.
6.12 - The suitability of the improvement, including Lhe 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 the proposed building and landscape
materials are in conformance with Town guidelines. Proposed building
colors should be discussed at the meeting. The site is virtually flat
and therefore very suitable for development. Water and sewer lines
are adjacent to the property.
6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to
adjacent properties.
COMMENT: The proposed duplex has been positioned further back on
the lot than most buildings on the same street. The proposed
location will allow for limited views of Beaver Creek for the east
side unit. Virtually the entire yard in front of the building is
proposed to be paved parking area with very little landscape screening.
No landscape materials are proposed around the north, east or west
sides of the building to help break up the buildings mass. The four
small plants on the south side will do little to reduce the impacts
of this very large building on adjacent properties.
6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography.
COMMENT: The property is virtually flat. The amount of impervious
coverage on this lot can be significantly reduced by eliminating
several parking spaces and reducing driveway width.
6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed
from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
COMMENT: This property is highly visable from I-70, Nottingham Road,
and west Beaver Creek Blvd. The architecture of the proposed building
exhibits very little interest, character, or diversity. Section 6.25
of the Avon Design Review Guidelines specifically discourages
repetitious design characteristics (ie. mirror image duplexes).
Landscape design does not appear to be compatible with kite improve-
ments or neighboring properties.

STAFF COMME
6.16 - The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar
to other in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be
impaired.
COMMENT: The proposed siding material (entirely stucco), building
design and color, surface parking, and landscape treatment all
appear to be very dissimilar to other buildings in the vicinity.
6.17 - The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the
adopted ;pals, policies, and programs of the Town of Avon.
COMMENT: This property is located within sub area 8 (Nottingham
Park Residential District) as described in the Avon Comprehensive
Plan. This proposal woulc not appear to conform to the following
recommendations contained in the plan:
"Landscaping around buildings could be enhanced"
"Encourage existing development and require r— w
development to screen parking areas with plant
materials".
"Require new development to be of the same quality
and character as existing development".
Also, although the applicant has stated that the future use of the
building will be limited to one family (related by blood or marriage),
or a group of not more than four unrelated adults in each dwelling
unit, the floor plan and overly large parking lot would appear to
indicate otherwise.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staffs recomendEtion is that this final design review application
be tabled to allow the applicant to resolve the following issues:
1. No grading cr drainage information has been provided to date.
2. Snow storage areas on the property appear tc be insufficient.
3. Landscape materials appear to be insufficient (quantity and
size). No irrigation system has been proposed.

Lot 6, Block 1, Filing 1, Eaglebend Subdivision
Tony Seibert for South Harbor Development
Final Design Review
INTRODUCTION
On August 15, 1989, September 5, 1989, and October 5,1989, South
Harbor Development received P & Z review on a proposed duplex
building on Lot 6, Block 1, Filing 1, Eaglebend Subdivision.
After their application was tabled on October 5, 1989, South
Harbor Development decided to withdraw their application from
further review.
Tony Seibert, representing South Harbor Development, has now
requested final design review approval of a single family residence
on Lot 6. Lot 6 is .37 of an acre (16,002 square feet) in size and
the building coverage is approximately 3,020 square feet for a
building ratio of 19%. The floor area of the building is approximately
2,800 square feet for a ratio of 18%. Nearly 30% of the lot, or
approximately 4,750 square feet, is covered with impervious materials.
Maximum building height is 26 feet from finished grade to the peak of
the highest ridge line.
A landscape plan indicating species and size, with a revegetation
plan for disturbed areas, and an irrigation system is included with
the submittal.
The building is a two story, wood frame building with gable roofs.
Exterior building materials include wood siding (board and batten),
stucco, and cedar shake shingles. No color or material samples have
been submitted for review.
Approximately 40% of the lot is located within the 30 foot high water
setback. Special provisions should be considered which prevents the
removal of native riparian vegetation on this site.
STAFF COMMENTS
The Commission shall consider the following itmes 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: This proposal is in conformance with all Avon Zoning
regulations.
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.

Final Design Review
STAFF COMMENTS
COMMENT: The type and quality of both building and landscaping
materials are suitable with town guidelines. Building colors should
be discussed at the meeting.
6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts
to adjacent properties.
COMMENT: The siting and landscaping of the building is
sympathetic to the adjacent residential property. Additional land-
scaping along the east and west sides of the building would help break
up the mass of the building as viewed from neighboring properties.
6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvements with site
topography.
COMMENT: The property slopes toward the Eagle river in a south/
southeasterly direction at approximately 5%. The house, however, has
been designed for a flat site requiring considerable fill material to
be added around the south and west sides of the house (approximately
5 feet). The site plan shows that a large amount of this fill
material will encropch within the high water setback area. The
amount of impervious coverage on this lot can be significantly reduced
by eliminating the two car surface parking area shown on the site plan
and replacing it with vegatative materials.
6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as
viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
COMMENT: The appearance of this residence from neighboring
properties and public ways seems acceptable. Lot disturbance should
not be permitted south of the high water setback. Color scheme not
available.
6.16 - The objective that no improvement be so similar or
dissimilar to others in the vicinity "hat values, monetary or
aesthetic will be impaired.
COMMENT: Excessive disturbance and use of the riparian habitat
will cause long term irreparable damage to the aesthetic and ecological
value of the river corridor.
6.17 - The general conformance of the proposed improvements with
the adopted Goals, Policies, and Programs of the Town of Avon.

STAFF COMMENTS
COMMENT: The proposal is in general conformance with adopt..d
Goals, Policies, and Programs for the Town of Avon, except for the
proper use and protection of the riparian habitat of the Eagle River.
The effect of improper treatment of the riparian habitat will increase
stream bank erosion and contribute to a diminished water quality
standard;.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this design review application with the
following conditions:
1. Proposed driveway must be shown to comply with Town standards
prior to the issuance of a building permit (no detail shown on current
plans).
2. A more detailed drainage and grading plan must be reviewed and
approved prior to the issuance of a building permit.
3. Parking appears to be in excess of that necessary for a single
family home. Staff suggests that the two spaces shown on the site
plan be removed and replaced with landscape materials.
4. The applicant should consider moving the building further north
on the lot (5'-10'), thereby eliminating the need to fill within the
high water setback area.
