Sign Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Dan Shelton, on behalf of the Bargin Barn, is requesting
design review approval of a new sign on Lot 23, Block 1,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision (Wolff Warehouse). The
sign is proposed to be 4' x 5' (20 square feet) and located
on the east face of the building above the entry doors as
shown on the elevation drawings provided. The applicant has
indicated that the sign will he 3/4" sign board painted with
enamel sign paint and covered with a clear sealer. The sign
will be indirectly illuminated. Proposed colors will be
presented at the meeting.
On June 27, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved
a 15 foot square foot sign for Blue Steel Gun Shop, Inc., who
occupied the same space now used by the Bargin Barn. A few
years later, while reviewing a sign request for another
business in the Wolff Warehouse, the Planning and Zoning
Commission's approval included the condition that "all
signage for the Wolff Warehouse be reviewed and approved by
th- planning and Zoning Commission".
F COMMENTS
Staff recommends that the Commission review this submittal in
conjunction with the following Sign Design Guidelines and
Review Criteria.
SECTION 15.28.060. Sign Design Guidelines
A. Harmonious with Town Scale. Sign location,
configuration, design, materials, and colors shouid be
harmonious with the existing signs on the structure, with the
neighborhood, and with the townscape.
B. Harmonious with Building Scale. The sign
should be harmonious with the building scale, and should not
visually dominate the structure to which it belongs or call
undue attention to itself.
C. Materials. Quality sign materials, including
anodized metal; routed or sandblasted wood, such as rough
cedar or ra,dwood; interior -lit, individual plexiglass -faced
letters; or three dimensional individual letters with or
without indirect lighting, are encouraged.

Grand On Avon
Landscaping Design Review
INTRODUCTION
The Grand on Avon partnership has retained Broken Branch Tree Farms, Inc. to
design and construct a landscape plan for the project. This landscape plan
entails the final step in the design review process that has overseen the
transition from the Peregrine to the Grand on Avon project. This process
has included architectural building revisions, the addition of a porte cochere
entry, the construction of the west parking area, building color and now, the
final landscape plan.
This landscape program is concentrated on the south side of the building,
addressing the new entry and porte cochere; and along the west end of the
building, where a joint use parking lot is being constructed on Town of Avon
property. The landscape plan is designed to provide a significant aesthetic
impact, in both summer and winter seasons.
The design incorporates plant systems and efficient irrigation methods to
ensure long term survival. Plant materials are compatible with this environment.
A plant list and statement from the applicant is included for your review.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommendation is for approval of the requested landscape program.

Lot 24, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Carpet, Paint and Interiors (CPI)
Variance from Minimum Parking Requirements
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION
Tom Backhus and Richard Kaas (owner of CPI) are requesting a
variance to allow for a reduction in the minimum number of
parking spaces required on Lot 24, Block 1, Benchmark at
Beaver Creek Subdivision. CPI is currently leasing 5,600
square feet of the 10,400 square foot Deep Rock building for
use as a warehouse and a limited retail outlet. Since the
retail portion of CPI's operation is not a use by right in
the Industrial and Commercial (I/C) Zone District, they have
applied to the Town for Special Review Use approval to
conduct such an activity. The problem, however, is that CPI
cannot provide the minimum number of parking spaces required
according to Avon's strict interpretation of the Town's
parking standards.
During the design review phase of development on Lot 24 (July
16, 1989) the applicant stated that the intended use of the
building was 10,000 square feet of warehouse (1 space/800
square feet or 12.5 parking spaces required) and 1,350 square
feet of office space (3 spaces/1000 square feet or 4.05
parking spaces required). Based on this representation of
the buildings use, 17 parking spaces were required to be
provided on the lot. Of the 17 spaces, six were requireo to
be assigned to the 4,800 square foot Deep Rock warehouse.
The remaining 11 spaces were then available for use by
whomever Deep Rock chose to lease the remaining space to.
Immediately upon receiving a certificate of occupancy for the
building, Deep Rock leased its remaining vacant space to CPI.
CPI has indicated that the primary objective of their
warehouse is to receive inventory and warehouse large
quantities of products sold at their Eagle -Vail store. Their
second objective, however, is to allow the general public to
walk through the building and make retail purchases in a
warehouse atmosphere.
Section 17.24.020 (Off-street Parking and Loading) of the
Avon Town Code allows parking facilities for separate uses to
be provided collectively, as evidenced by the original
parking calculation for this lot (12.5/warehouse and
4.05/office = 17). The key words in this section are
"separate uses". As mentioned above, CPI does not wish to
separate the retail portion of the business from the
warehouse portion, but rather allow the public to browse

through and make purchases directly from the warehouse.
Avon's parking regulations do not include a catagory for
calculating the required number of parking spaces for this
type of business. If calculated in strict accordance with
the regulations (5,600 square feet of retail area) the number
of parking spaces required for CPI would be 23 (4 spaces/1000
square feet GLFA). CPI contends that they have a hardship
based on the fact that Avon's parking regulations do not
adequately address parking requirements for their type of use
(combination of retail and warehouse). In addition, CPI has
provided a letter from Deep Rock which states that they only
use three of the six parking spaces assigned to them.
Section 17.24.020 (B) states:
"If, for any reason, the classification of any use for the
purpose of determining the amount of off-street parking, or
the number of spaces to be provided by such use is not
readily determinable hereunder, the parking requirements of
such use or the number of spaces to be provided shall be
determined by the zoning administrator, after recommendation
by appropriate town departments, based upon the most similar
uses for which specific requirements are provided".
The applicants have requested that the Town consider using an
average between the retail parking requirement and the
warehouse parking requirement to calculate the number of
spaces required for the business. The average is determined
as follows:
Retail = 1 space/ 250 square feet
= 1 space/525 square feet
Warehouse = 1 space/800 square feet
Based on this formula the number of parking spaces required
is 11 spaces. Staff feels that the parking formula suggested
by the applicant is reasonable to use in this specific case.
Although the Zoning Administrator has the ability to approve
the formula administratively, insufficient information exists
at this time to determine if it should be an adopted
standard. Therefore, staff feels that the most appropriate
forum for consideration of the applicant's request is through
review of this parking variance application.

STAFF COMMENTS
Before acting on a variance application, the Commission shall
consider the following factors with respect to the requested
variance:
SECTION 17.36.40 Approval Criteria
A. The relationship of the requested variance to
other existing or potential uses and structures in the
vicinity;
STAFF RESPONSE: Although this variance, if
approved, would have a negligible affect on existing and
potential uses in the vicinity, it could impact potential
uses on this lot. It should be made very clear that if the
variance is approved it is very specific to CPI's present use
of the building. In other words, CPI cannot intensify the
retail portion of the business no- can u,y Flture tenant use
the space for a retail use dissimilar than that currently
used by CPI.
B. The degree to which relief from the strict or
literal interpretation and enforcements 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.
STAFF RESPONSE: It would appear that the
objectives of the Town's parking requirements would be
attained by utilizing the applicants suggested compromise
parking formula (1 space/525 sq. ft.). CPI has been using
the space as described previously without experiencing a
parking problem.
C. The effect of the requested variance on light
and air, distribution of population, transportation and
traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and
public safety;
STAFF RESPONSE: It would not appear that the
variance, if granted, would have a negative effect on light
and air, distribution of population, transportation and

traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities or public

SE,.'TION 17.36 50 Findings Required
The Commission shall make the following written findings
before granting a variance:
A. That the granting of the variance will not
constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations of other properties classified in the same
district.
B. That the granting of the variance will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity;
C. That the variance is warranted for one or more
of the following reasons:
1. The strict, literal interpretation
and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in
practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
2. There are exceptional or
extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
site of the vzriance that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same zone;
3. The strict or literal interpretation
and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the
applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other

Application for Retail Sales in I/C Zone District
Special Review U-�e
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION
Tom Backhus and Richard Kaas (owner of CPI) are requesting
approval of a Special Review Use to conduct retail sales on
Lot 24, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. Lot
24 is zoned Industrial and Commercial (I/C). The allowed
uses in the I/C Zone District include warehouse,
laboratories, electrical substations, light manufacturing
plants, wholesale sales outlets, showrooms, industrial,
construction and wholesale offices and accessory buildings.
Retail sales outlet is listed as a Special Review Use.
The existing building on Lot 24 is approximately 10,400
square feet in size. Deep Rock Water Company, Inc. owns the
building and occupies approximately 4,800 square feet of the
west half of the building. The remaining 5,600 square feet
of the buildin4 is currently being leased to CPI. There are
17 parking spaces on the property, although striping has yet
to be completed. Six of the spaces are allocated to the Deep
Rock Warehouse. The remaining li spaces are available for
use by CPI.
STAFF COMMENTS
The Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council shall
consider the following criteria while reviewing a Special
Review Use application.
A. 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: The above listed criteria has already been
determined to be acceptable during the design review phase of
the Deep Rock building's development. The proposed special
review use will not negatively affect this criteria.
B. Whether there exists safe access and sufficient
water pressure to provide fire protection.
COMMENT: Access to, and water pressure on this lot are
sufficient for fire protection purposes.
C. The existent water pressure in the area and the
ability of the water system to supply domestic needs.

COMMENT: Staff sees no conflict with this criteria.
D. Whether there will be provided sufficient off-street
parking as determined by:
1. the intended use of the property
2. walking distance to the downtown area, and
3. the availability of public transportation.
COMMENT: Since the walking distance from downtown Avon
to this property is approximately 1 1/4 miles and public
transportation to this area is currently unavailable,
sufficient on-site parking to accomodate the proposed retail
use is critical. During the design review phase of
development on Lot 24 (July 18, 1989) the applicant stated
that the intended use of the building was 10,000 square feet
of warehouse (12.5 parking spaces required) and 1,350 square
feet of office space (4.05 parking spaces required). Based
on this representation of the building's use 17 parking
spaces were required to be provided on the Lot. Of the 17
spaces, six were required to be assigned to the 4,800 square
foot Deep Rock Warehouse. The remaining 11 spaces were then
available for use by whomever Deep Rock chose to lease the
remaining space to.
Immediately upon receiving a certificate of occupancy for the
building, Deep Rock leased its remaining vacant space to
Carpet, Paint and Interiors. CPI has indicated that the
primary objective of their warehouse is to receive inventory
and warehouse large quantities of products sold at their
Eagle -Vail store. Their second objective, however, is to
allow the general public to walk through the building and
make retail purchases in a warehouse atmosphere. Based upon
the applicant's intended use of their portion of the building
(5,600 square feet of retail area), the required number of
parking spaces necessary is 23 (4 space/1,000 square feet
GLFA). Since it is not physically possible for the applicant
to provide 23 parking spaces on the site, they have applied
for a parking variance in conjunction with this Special
Review Use application. CPI's contention is that they have a
hardship based on the fact that Avon's parking regulations do
not adequately address parking requirements for their type of
u;e (combination of retail and warehouse). In addition, CPI
has provided a letter from Deep Rock which states that they
only use three of the six parking spaces assigned to them.

Unless the applicant's parking variance request is approved,
this special review use request will not comply with the
current Town regulations.
E. The impact of the development, considering the
potential for stream and air pollution, the availability of
public transportation and other public or private services,
and any other factors affecting the overall development and
the surrounding areas, including but not limited to building
height, view plane, drainage and other physical and
aesthetica) features.
COMMENT: The impacts associated with the proposed
special use (limited retail sales in the I/C Zone district)
would not appear to have a negative affect on the existing
stream and air condition, the availability of public
transportation, or other public or private services. The
applicant, however, has not adequately addressed staff's
concerns regarding the frequency and conduct of temporary
"sales" at the store. The placement of merchandise outside
the building and a prolifiration of banners on the building
would certainly have an affect on the character of the area.
The applicant should discuss his intentions in more detail at
the meeting.
SECTION 17.20.020 (B) of the Avon Town Code requires that the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council make the
following findings in considering the suitability of the
spocial review use application:
1. Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all
requirements imposed by the zoning code;
2. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the
objectives and purposes of this zoning code and the
applicable zoning district; and
3. Whether the proposed use is designed to be
compatible with surrounding land uses and uses in the area.
COMMENT: 1. If the accompanying parking variance
request is approved, the proposed use will be in compliance
with the objectives and purposes imposed by the zoning code.

Special Review Use
Public Hearing
It should be pointed out however, that the owners of Lot 24
(Deep Rock Water Company) are currently in violation of
portions of the Avon Zoning Code. These violations are as
follows:
A. The required 17 parking spaces have not been
delineated with yellow striping as required by Section
17.24.020 of the Avon Town Code.
B. During the design review phase of development on Lot
24, Staff was concerned that no provision for trash storage
was shown on the site plan. The applicants responded to this
concern by stating that "trash dumpsters will be kept
indoors", thereby negating the need to show them on the site
plan. A site inspection has revealed that an unenclosed
trash dumpster has been placed in the parking lot in a
location that obstructs two of the required parking spaces.
2. The proposed use appears to be consistent with the
objectives and purposes of the zoning code and the applicable
zone district. The I/C zone district specifically lists
retail sales outlet as a use which may be appropriate within
the zone, contingent upon a special review use.
3. Staff feels that the proposed use will be compatible with
surrounding land uses and uses in the area. The applicant
should discuss his intentions regarding the placement of
merchandise outside and the use of "sale" banners.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed special review use
application with the following conditions:
1. Approval of the accompanying parking variance application.
2. Completion of parking lot striping.
3. Relocation of the trash dumpster (inside the building)
which is currently obstructing parking spaces.

5. The special use approval should be specific to CPI's
expressed use of the building (warehouse with limited retail
sales) at this time. Any change in use from that

the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and approval.
This SRU may be reviewed and revoked by the Planning and
Zoning Commission within one year of date of approval if, in
