PZC Packet 080790STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Lot 46/47, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Mark Donaldson for Phoenix Discovery Group Eight Unit Residential Building Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing INTRODUCTION Mark Donaldson, on behalf of the Phoenix Discovery Group, is requesting approval of a Fractionalized Project on Lot 46/47, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. A request for Final Design Review approval has also been submitted in conjunction with this project. The lot currently has four (4) Residential Development Rights assigned to it. If approved, this fractionalization will result in the creation of eight (8) dwelling units on the property. Lot 46/47 currently has fractionalization and design review approval for a 10 unit project. The previous approval was for 8 -one bedroom units, 1 -two bedroom unit, and 1 -three bedroom unit. On July 19, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied the application, however, that decision was overturned on appeal to the Town Council, on August 23, 1988. The design review and fractionalization approval is due to expire on August 23, 1990. Rather than request an extension of the project the applicant has chosen to apply for approval of a new eight unit fractionalized project. The proposed development consists of 2 -one bedroom units (448+ square feet/1/4 of a development right), 4 -two bedroom units (799± square feet/1/2 of a development right), and 2 --three bedroom units (1173+ square feet/3/4 of a development right). The building's architecture and mass has changed substantially from the previously approved plan. Maximum building height has been reduced and two coverr:d parking spaces have been eliminated. The Planning and Zoning Commission acts on fractionalization requests in conjunction with Final Design Review. A public hearing is held on each request for fractionalization of development rights. The Plenning and Zoning Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to mitigate impacts related to proposed fractionalization. STAFF COMMENTS The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors in addition to the Design Review Guidelines listed in Section 6.00 of the Design Procedures, Rules and Regulations for the Planning and Zoning Commission of the Town of Avon when reviewing a project involving the STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Page 2 of 4 Lot 46/47, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Mark Donaldson for Phoenix Discovery Group Eight Unit Residential Building Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing fractionalization of residential development rights: 1. The adequacy of access to the site with respect to the width of the adjacent streets, their grades, intersection safety, visibility and entrance into the lot to be developed. COMMENT: Access to the site appears to be adequate to serve eight units. The driveway will be required to meet Town of Avon driveway/entrance standards. The applicant is required to maintain an emergency fire lane through this property to the lot to the west. Not only should this area not be used for snow storage, Staff feels that an actual commitment should be made to plow this area throughout the winter season. 2. The need for, and availability of public or private transportation to serve the proposed development; COMMENT: Public transportation is a desirable goal for all portions of the Town of Avon. The character of this project, however, will not necessitate the construction of public or private transportation facilities. 3. The impact of the proposed project upon public and private services and facilities serving the area; COMMENT: There does not appear to be any definable impact to public or private services that are a result of this fractionalization request. 4. The compatibility of the proposed unit sizes and unit mix with existing and potential development in the vicinity; COMMENT: Although the proposed unit size and mix differs from the Chambertin complex immediately to the west (three large four-plex buildings) this proiject appears to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Lot 9, across the street to the south, contains 18 un',ts in four buildings (Sherwood Meadows). These units range in size from 500 square feet to 1,300 square feet. The Sonnen Halde fractionalized project is also located nearby on Lot 8 (16 800± square foot units). The two and three bedroom units would serve to address some STAFF REPORT TO August 7, 1990 Page 3 of 4 THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Lot 46/47, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Mark Donaldson {or Phoenix Discovery Group Eight Unit Residential Building Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing of the needs identified in the recent Housing Needs Assessment completed by the Eagle County Affordable Housing Task Force. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is for approval. The current project presents less impact on the site and on the area in general, by reducing the number of units, and required parking. The lot is situated in a multi -family neighborhood and the unit mix is appropriate to both the site and the community. The recent Housing Needs Assessment identified the need for an additional 800 units within the valley. These units will make a positive contribution to the community, while the scale of the proposal eliminates any negative impacts. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Introduce Application 2.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Lot 4, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Phoenix Discovery Group Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing INTRODUCTION The Phoenix Discovery Group is requesting fractionalization approval for 8 units on Lot 4, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision. Lot 4, is currently assigned four (4) development rights. The units will be 798 square feet in size and will be constructed in two separate buildings of four units each. The Phoenix Group received a fractionalization approval for Lot 4 in July of 1988. This approval consisted of one 4 unit building and one 6 unit building. The applicant's current request merely replaces the 6 unit building with another 4 unit building, identical to the other. The approval for the original fractionalization did expire on July 19, 1990. The proposed project is identical to Lhe original approved project with the change from the 6 unit building to a 4 unit building, along with minor site plan changes related to the building amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission acts on fractionalization requests in conjunction with Final Design Review. A public hearing is held on each request for fractionalization of development rights. The Planning and Zoning Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to mitigate impacts related to proposed fractionalization. STAFF COMMENTS The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors in addition to the Design Review Guidelines listed in Section 6.00 of the Design Procedures, Rules and ,egulations for the Planning and Zoning Commission of the Town of Avon when reg-iewing a project involving the fractionalization of residential development rights: 1. The adequacy of access to the site with respect to the width of the adjacent streets, their grades, intersection safety, visibility and entrance into the loL to be deveioped. COMMENT: Access to the site appears to be adequate to serve 8 units. The driveway will be required to meet Town of Avon driveway/entrance standards. 2. The need for, and availability of public or private transportation to serve the proposed development; •01 L1 L: STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Page 2 of 3 Lot 4, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Phoenix Discovery Group Fractionalization of Development Rights Public Hearing COMMENT: Private transportation services, such as the local van services, will have no greater need or difficulty in serving this development as opposed to a non -fractionalized project. Public transportation is a desirable goal for Wildridge, but at this time the density does not warrant service. This development will not change that situation. 3. The impact of the proposed project upon public and private services and facilities serving the area; COMMENT: There does not appear to be any definable impact to public or private services that are a result of this fractionalization request. 4. The compatibility of the proposed unit sizes and unit mix with existing and potential development in the vicinity; COMMENT: This particular area of Wildridge is designated as multi -family development. The adjacent lot 2 is zoned for ten units, Lot 3 for four units and Lots 5, 6, 7, and 8 are zoned for 6 units each. The two bedroom units correspond well with the needs identified in the recent Housing Needs Assement completed by a joint public/private task force. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is for approval. Although the previo.s approval has technically expired, it does serve as a benchmark for comparison. The current project presents less impact on the site and on the area in general, by reducing the number of units, and required parking. The lot is situated in a multi -family neighbornood and the unit mix is appropriate to both the site and the community. The recent Housing Needs Assessment identified the need for an additional 800 units within the valley. These units will make a positive contribution to the community, while the scale of the proposal eliminates any negative impacts.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Lot 4, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Phoenix Discovery Group Final Design Review INTRODUCTION The Phoenix Discovery Group is requesting Final Design Review for a proposal located on Lot 4, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision. A request for fractionalization has been submitted in conjunction with this request. The proposal consists of two four-plex buildings for a total of eight units. Each unit has one covered parking space and an additional space located directly behind the garage door. Three guest parking spaces are included and manuevering space, although tight, appears adequate. Substantial overlot grading is proposed. The Staff would recommend thatboth fencing and erosion control methods should be utilized during construction. A landscape plan is included and looks to b, well designed and detailed. Entry signage, trash enclosures, and exterior lighting are all specified. Thr, buildings are of three story wood and stucco design and include a wood shake roof. A color scheme has been identified and samples will be presented at the hearing. 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.

Building height has been calculated and is within the 35 foot requirement. 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. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Page 2 of 4 Lot 4, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision Phoenix Discovery Group Final Design Review COMMENT: The project consists of two identical buildings of a mirror image design. While this would not be suitable for duplex design, the design repetition is a common concept in multi -family development. Building materials are of high quality, redwood siding with a stucco base has been specified. 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. COMMENT: This design will certainly affect the views of adjacent properties, as would any development of this site. The project is within all applicable zoning regulations and building siting has attempted to mitigate impacts to adjacent properties. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. COMMENT: The proposal works reasonably well with the .:ing topography, however, extensive grading is proposed. rencing and erosion control should be utilized during construction and the distrubed areas to be revegetated with natural grasses should be irrigated to ensure prompt growth of materials. 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. Building materials and the landscape plan are appropriate to this site. The architectural form is repetitive, yet much of the multi -family development surrounding this site is repetitive as well. 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.

STAFF REPORT To THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Lot 52, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision Franklin Residence Conceptual Design Review INTRODUCTION The applicant has requested a conceptual review of a single family unit on Lot 52, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision. Lot 52 is a duplex lot, assigned two development rights. The applicant is proposing to build a single family residence at this time and is attempting to design this residence to allow construction of a future unit that will meet our criteria for duplex construction. The single house as designed, although still at a conceptual stage, appears to meet all applicable Town of Avon design and zoning criteria. The house is well sited on the lot, meets all setback requirements and works well with the grade as shown. The architectural form and materials work well with the neighborhood and with the design guidelines. Colors, final detailing and roof materials are not specified. With regard to the future construction of the second unit, the Staff would be more comfortable if the trellis were removed and a party wall system between the garages was utilized.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 7, 1990 Lot 23, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Columbine Moving and Storage Sign Design Review INTRODUCTION Rick Cole, on behalf of Columbine Moving and Storage has requested design review approval for two business signs on Lot 23, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision (Wolff Warehouse). Both signs are back -lit, aluminum boxes with orange lexan lens faces and are attached to the south and east walls of the building. The signs are approximately 24' high. The south facing sign is 2' x 12' or 24 square feet, and the east facing sing is 3' x 6' or 18 square Leet. Total sign area is 42 square feet. On February 3, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved two signs for Beaver Track and Trail who occupied the same space now used by Columbine Moving and Storage. These signs were an 18 square foot "Kawasaki" sign and a 19 square foot "Polaris" sign. Both signs were mounted on the east side of the building. Although the total square footage approved was 37 square feet, the Planning Commission acknowledged that as much as 44 square feet would be allowed according to the interpretation of the sign code made by staff at that time.
