Additional and significant plant material be installed at the entry; 3. Formal landscaping or sod be installed between each of the buildings; 4. An automatic irrigation system be included and provide a drip system for the trees; 5. A condition that states the number of trees, there are 19 Colorado spruce trees and 21 aspen trees. The applicant has submitted a letter to the Staff to amend the approval by deleting the condition of the installation of the irrigation system. The applicant cited the additional cost as the reason for this request as this condition would almost double the cost PLANNING AND June 4, 1991 Page 2 of 8 ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Deer Ridge Subdivision, Amended Landscape_P.lan,_(cont) for the landscaping. They are also requesting the elimination of the sign, there is no longer a common lot ana no lighting for the sign, due to the resubdivision of the lot. Tony Burns, who lives on the east side of the building which is already constructed, and also speaking for the owners of the other half of the building, stated that they do not want the irrigation system installed as it would cost too much. They feel that they can take care of the landscaping without the irrigation system. Discussion followed on the use of cottonwoods instead of aspens in the landscape plan. The applicant also felt that native grasses would be better than the sod. Clayton McRory moved to allow the amendment to delete the automatic irrigation system, with the recommendation that the applicant give a lot of thought to the plant material to be used. Henry Vest seconded. The motion was amended to include deleting the project sign. Vest seconded the amendment. Discussion followed on the need for some sort of sign for emergency identification. It was suggested that the applicant het with the fire department to determine what would be acceptable. The motion was amended again to state that the signage would be required, but the exterior lighting of the signage will be deleted. The motion was then changed back to the original motion made by McRory. Vest seconded. The motion carried with John Perkins and Derek Pysher voting nay. Lot 87, Block 1. Wildridge Subdivisio_n,._Rezonl_ng and Special Review Use, Public Hearing Rick Pylman reviewed the app-lication, stating that lot was originally assigned four development rights. Two of those rights were transferred off of the lot. This request is to transfer two development rights back on to the lot. Pylman then reviewed the history of the properties owned by Mr. Sortland. The applicant is requesting to transfer one development right from Lot 94, Block 1, Wildridqe, which is a duplex lot that has a single family residence already built, and one development right from Lot 14, Block 3, Wildridge, which also has a single family residence on a duplex lot.

Pylman reviewed the criteria for consideration of a SPA amendment and zone change. Staff recommendation is for denial. This request will result in an increase in density in this area for which the staff feels no justification. If the original request for these two, four unit lots had been to rezone them into five duplex lots the staff recommendation would have been for denial. Although this request has taken a less direct route, the end result is the same. Pylman then reviewed the criteria for consideration of a Special Review Use, which is necessary for transfer of development rights. Staff recommendation for this request is for denial. The transfer of additional development rights to this area creates a density that is not appropriate or compatible with the site or with previous action. The applicant stated that these would be downsized units. - Chairman Perkins opened the public hearing and asked for public input. Rick Pylman stated that they had received one letter from Alida Zwaan, supporting this request. With no other public input the Chairman closed the public hearing. Discussion followed on the sizes of the units on Lot 89 and the proposed sizes of the units for Lot 87 if this request is approved. Sue Railton moved to deny the SPA zone change on Lot 87, Block 1, Wildridge, citing the staff concerns that this would increase density in the area. Derek Pysher seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Sue Railton moved to deny the transfer of two development rights to Lot 87, Blk 1, Wildridge from Lot 94, Block 1 and Lot 14, Block 3, Wildridge, citing the staff concerns about the increase in density.

Final__._Design Review, (cont) similar to those in Wildridge Acres. Staff has no concerns, with the exception of the extensive regrading. As it turns out the existing grade is at the level that was of concern. Staff recommends approval of this application. The applicant requested that they be allowed to alter the garage door color to a lighter tan color. After considerable discussion, Sue Railton moved to grant final design approval to Lot 1, Wildridge Acres as presented. Seconded by McRory. The motion was amended to recommend that the Chami color be used on the garage door. McRory seconded the amendment. The motion carried unanimously. Lot 3 Wildridge _Acres, Hancock Residence, Final_ Design Review Jim Curnutte reviewed the size and location of the lot. He discussed the matter of the building being over the maximum limit of 2400 sq. ft. and how it has been reduced to get it under the maximum. Staff feels this is a suitable project for this subdivision. Staff suggests that the driveway be increased slightly from the 12'. Staff recommends approval with the following condition: The building permit construction drawings must include the changes to the building as highlighted on the design review drawings. The changes reduce the floor area of the building from 2,665 square feet to 2,397 square feet. The applicant requested that the garage door color be changed to the Olympic Chami color also. They will also provide the revised plans. After discussion, Clayton McRory moved to grant final design approval for Lot 3, Wildridge Acres, Hancock Residence, with the following conditions: 1. The entrance of the driveway be widened and that the width be determined by Staff and receive Staff approval; 2. At the time of building permit, the actual set of working drawings reflect the revisions to the drawings. Derek Pysher seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Jim Curnutte stated that the applicant is requesting conceptual review for a proposed six unit townhouse project. The lot is slightly over a half an acre and is zoned multi -family. Each unit is approximately 1700 sq. ft. in size and each has a one car enclosed garage. The plans show concrete, but the applicant would like to put redwood decks. The property does have adequate parking ( two per unit, plus three guest parking). Each unit will have a gas fireplace. The project is predominately stucco and will have cedar shakes on the roof. No specifics have been provided regarding the sizes of the landscaping materials. No information has been shown regarding the trash enclosure or project signage or finish treatment of exposed foundation walls. Access is via the Suncrest Townhomes driveway which is located on Lot 7 to the north. No evidence has been provided to date to indicate that the owners of Lot 7 have agreed to the use of their driveway. The proposed placement of the access to this project appears acceptable to staff because it will not require an additional driveway cut, however, owner permission for permanent use is required. Curnutte stated that as this is a conceptual review, no staff recommendation will be made. Bob Borchardt provided a color chart for the project. Discussion followed on the colors, the trash enclosure, the signage and the exposed foundation treatment, the roof line, and the deck. Discussion followed on the need for permission for access. It was suggested that the applicant have the landscape plan done by a professional. The location of the buildings on the site was discussed, along with the end elevations. As this was a conceptual review no formal action was taken. Lot 5. Sue Railton stepped down as a voting member of the Commission dl.-� to a conflict of interest. Jim Curnutte stated that this project is a detached duplex. The lot is about .4 of an acre, ( approximately 17,000 sq. ft. in size). Approximately half of the lot is located beyond the bank of the top of the bank of the Eagle River and 6 PLANNING AND June 4, 1991 Page 6 of 8 ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Lot 5, Filing 1 EagIebend Subdiv_isiont._R_aj_Iton __„Duplex,_ Conceptual Design Review, (conta is unbuildable. The lot is nearly flat. The east unit is approximately 1750 feet in size, not counting the 4.40 sq. ft. two car garage. The west unit is about 1715 sq. ft. in size and a similar size garage. No information regarding building materials or colors. Curnutte stated that the project is currently shown to be out of compliance with three portions of the Avon Zoning Code. 1. Definition of Duplex. The Avon Zoning Code defines a duplex as "a building, containing no more than two dwelling units, sharing a common wall nor less than twenty percent (20%) between both dwelling units or sharing a common ceiling and floor, in whole or in part, connecting two dwelling units". 2. Twenty-five Foot Frontyard_Setback. The final plat shows that this lot has a 15 foot front yard setback. The site plan however, shows that the garage foundation wall of the west side unit is at 17 feet from the front property line. By adding the 1-1/2 foot building overhang the total encroachment into the front yard setback is 8-1/2 feet. The applicant has submitted an application for a front yard setback variance. 3. Guest Parking in Front Setback. The guest parking space for the west side unit is within 10 feet of the front lot line. Curnutte stated that the setback variance request is just for the west unit. The lot next door has received a similar setback variance some time ago. Since this is a conceptual design review, no formal staff recommendation will be provided, however staff does recommend that a review of the conceptual landscape plan and the deck encroachment beyond the bank of the Eagle River. John Railton stated that the problem is that more than half of the lot is unbuildable, therefore the need for a front yard setback variance. He described the proposed materials and ,olors. The roof will be an asphalt shingle, and the wood is a cedar siding. He described his reasoning for the parking within 10 feet of the lot line, stating that it is better to get the car off the street than to have that small amount of landscaping.

(contZ Discussion followed on the roofing material, and it was i suggested that the applicant take into consideration the woodruff roofing material. Considerable discussion followed on the non-compliance with the zoning code and the definition of a duplex and the variance request. As this was a conceptual review, no formal action was taken at this time. Lot 29 Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision,Wi_lklson_Residence_, Conceptual Design Review Jim Curnutte stated that this is a conceptual review on a duplex. He described the lot size and slope of the lot. The building will be constructed to resemble a primary/secondary than a duplex. The larger unit is about 2600 sq. ft. and the smaller unit is 1400 sq. ft. It is a two story building with gable roofs and will be finished with stucco. The soffits and fascias will be cedar, spruce or fir and aluminum clad windows are proposed. A conceptual landscape plan will be presented and also a color rendering of the building has been provided. Some slight revisions have been made to the plans. As this is conceptual no formal staff recommendation will be presented. Staff does note, however, that the vehicle turn around area from the west side garage appears to be very limited. The applicant described the decks and some of the revisions to the plans. They may change from clad windows to wood, just to get the color they want. The driveway shape has been changed slightly. Discussion followed on the locations oP the decks/patios. The general consensus of the Commission was that this was a very appropriate project for Wildridge. As this was a conceptual design review, no formal action was taken at this time.
