Lot 29, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
wilkison Duplex
Final Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Dave Wilkison is requesting final design review approval of a
proposed duplex on Lot 29, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision.
Lot 29 is located on the corner of West Wildridge Road and
Flat Point. The lot is 0.47 of an acre in size and has a
gentle slope (5%) toward the southwest.
The proposed building will actually be constructed to more
nearly resemble a primary/secondary than a typical duplex.
The larger unit is approximately 2,600 square feet and the
smaller unit is 1,400 square feet.
This two story (30' high maximum) building has gable roofs
and will be finished with stucco. Cedar shingles are
proposed to be used on the roof. The soffits and fascias
will be cedar, spruce or fir. Aluminum clad wood windows are
proposed. The galvanized metal flashings will be painted to
match the fascia. More detailed information regarding
building colors has been provided and will be presented at
the meeting. The driveway will be finished in asphalt.
A grading /drainage plan and a landscape plan have been
provided for review. Although the landscape plan does not
refer to the proposed method of irrigation, the applicant has
indicated that a drip system will be provided to all trees.
The species of shrubs on the plant materials list are not
specified, but the applicant has indicated that they will be
chosen from the list of recommended species contained in the
Avon Design Guidelines.
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: This proposal is in conformance with the Avon
Zoning Code and other applicable rules and regulations of the
Town, with the exception that the site plan currently shows a
parking space within 10' of the front property line and the
driveway grade appears to be excessive.

Final Design Review
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 quality of both building and landscaping
materials are suitable with Town guidelines, although, as
mentioned previously, the exact type of shrubs being proposed
for the property is not defined.
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 resident property. All grading
will be contained within lot lines. A minimal amount of
grading will be necessary. The building has been designed to
step down in the direction of natural grade.
6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with
site topography.
COMMENT: The design of the proposed duplex appears to
be very compatible with the existing topography. Very little
earthwork will be required in the construction of the
building.
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. The
primary/secondary nature of the building is not very common
in Wildridge, but should serve to add some diversity to the
usual building styles.
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.
COMMENT: Staff sees no conflict with this criteria.

Final Design Review
INTRODUCTION
Bob Borchardt and Susan Cary (Cary Builders, Inc.) are
requesting final design review for a proposed six unit
townhouse project (Sage Villas at Wildridge) on Lot 6, Block
1, Wildridge Subdivision. Lot 6 is 0.68 of an acre in size
and is located in a predominantly multi -family area of
Wildridge (3028 Wildridge Road.)
Each of the six units are approximately 1,750 square feet in
size and includes a one car enclosed garage and a gas
fireplace. The proposed building will have a maximum
building height of 34 feet. Exterior building materials
include cedar shakes on the roof, stucco siding and redwood
decks. The trash enclosure will utilize the same building
materials as the building (stucco, cedar shakes, etc.) A
detail of the proposed project signing has been provided.
A grading/drainage and a landscape plan have been provideu
for the Commission's review. The plan shows a good mixture
of tree and shrub species and sizes. Automatic spray
irrigation will be provided to all turf areas and mulched
areas will be drip irrigated. A sufficient number of parking
spaces have been provided (two per unit, plus three guest
spaces).
STAFF COMMEafS
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: This proposal is in general conformance with
the Avon Zoning Code and other applicable rules and
regulations of the Town. The property is zoned for six units
and that is what the applicant wishes to build. The driveway
as currently shown has an approximate 10% slope. The Avon
design guidelines recommend a maximum driveway grade of 8%
for multifamily residential projects.

6.12 - The suitability or 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 type and quality of the building and
landscaping materials are suitable with Town guidelines. The
lot itself has a gentle grade and appears to be very
conducive to building.
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 adja;ent resid,-r.�-ial property. All
grading will be contained within lot lines. The trash
dumpster has been screened and adequate landscaping has been
provided around the entry sign. No detailed information has
been provided regarding the 10 proposed site lighting
fixtures or the finish color of the chimney caps so their
impacts to adjacent properties cannot be assessed at this
time.
6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with
site topography.
COMMENT: The property slopes toward the south at
approximately 8%. The building has been designed to step
down slightly, every two units, in the direction of existing
grade. The last two units drop four feet, which is necessary
to make the driveway grade a reasonable slope.
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. The
appearance of the project as viewed from the north would be
enhanced with the addition of more landscaping north of the
entry drive. Also, the paved snow storage area appears to be
unecessary. Leaving this area in a natural condition would
be more visually appealing.

Final Landscape Plan
INTRODUCTION
On December 4, 1990, The Avon Planning and Zoning Commission
granted final design approval to the Claivin (six unit
residential complex) on Lot 2, Block 1, Wildridge
Subdivision. The Commission's approval excluded the
'.andscape plan and project signage.
On May 7, 1991, the applicants submitted a landscape/signage
plan for approval. The Commission felt that the plan was not
adequate and tabled their review until a more complete plan
is presented.
A new, professionally drawn, landscape and signing plan has
been submitted for the Commission's review. The pian shows a
good mixture of plant species and sizes. The area within the
fence and surrounding the homes will be seeded with a mixture
of buffalo grass, bluegrass and rye grass. The area outside
of the fence will be left in its natural state. The area on
either side of the driveway entrance will be bermed, planted
with a mixture of trees shrubs and ground cover. All formal
grass areas will be irrigated via 6" pop up sprinkler heads.
All planting bed areas will be drip irrigated..

City Market
Sign Program Amendment
Design Review
INTRODUCTION
The City Market Corporation is proposing to amend the
existing sign program for the City Market store located on
Lots 67 and 68, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver reek
Subdivision. The City Market sign program was approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 19, 1990, in
connection with the store remodel and expansion. The
approved sign program consists of two City Market logo signs
with the words "Food and Pharmacy" under them. Each of these
signs are approximately 161 I -quare feet each (23' x 7') and
will be located on the north and west facing walls of the
building. Also on the west facing wall of the building is an
area of signing that identifies the various departments
within the store. These signs, a total of six, were
originally proposed to be 18 inches in height, but were
reduced to 12 inches as a condition of Planning and Zoning
Commission approval of the sign program. The only other
condition of Planning and Zoning Commission approval was tiiat
the City Market logo signs be spaced an equal distance from
the top of the parapet wall, as opposed to the varying
distances shown on the original plans.
On June 24, 1991, Western Neon Company applied for a sign
permit to install the City Market signs. While reviewing the
sign plans for conformance to the approved Fign program, it
was discovered that City Market wishes to install two signs
on the building that were not included in the original sign
program approval. The applicants would like to amend the
sign program to allow for the addition of two 2' x 16'
internally illuminated cabinet signs. The box itself will be
a dark bronze color and the plexiglass face will be blue with
white letters. One sign will be located under each of the
City Market Food and Pharmacy signs.
STAFF COMMENTS
SECTION 15.28.060 of the Avon Sign Code provides a list Of
sign design guidelines to be considered when reviewing a
proposed sign in Avon. The sign guidelines are as follows:
A. Harmonious with Town Scale. Sign location,
configuration, design, materials, and colors should be
harmonious with the existing signs on the structure, with the
neighborhood, and with the townscape.

INTRODUCTION
The Avon Center at Beaver Creek Homeowner's Association is
requesting Planning and Zoning Commission approval of a
proposed sign program amendment on Lot A, Block 2, Benchmark
at Beaver Creek Subdivision. The proposed amendment involves
only the Avon Center building indentification sign. Donald
Lavers, Managing Agent for the residential portion of the
Avon Center, has indicated that the internal lighting for the
sign has been inoperable for about a year, and since repairs
are necessary, now is the time to propose other desired
changes to the sign. Specifically, the applicants would like
to amend the building identification sign in the following
ways:
1. Add the words "Lodge At" above the existing
words "Avon Center".
2. Change the plexiglass face of the sign from
white to burgandy red.
3. Move the sign to approximately 10' lower on the
building than it's existing location.

COMMENTS: The signs for the Comfort Inn and the
1st Bank of Avon both exhibit pan channel letters with
plexiglass faces. These signs are mounted much lower on the
buildings than the Avon Center sign.
C. The quality of the materials to be utilized in
any proposed improvements;
COMMENT: As mentioned previously, individual
plexiglass -faced letters are considered acceptable and are
even encouraged by the Town's sign design guidelines.
D. The visual impact of any proposed improvement,
as viewed from any adjacent or neighboring property;
COMMENT: The visual impact of the proposed sign
amendment would appear to be acceptable. The burga,ldy
plexiglass face of the sign—iijrcludes a white tape backing to
prevent the neon tubes from being visible when the sign is
lit.
E. The objective that no improvement will be so
similar or dissimilar to other signs in the vicinity that
values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired;
COMMENT: Staff sees no conflict with this
criteria.
F. Whether the type, height, size, and/or
quantity of signs generally complies with the sign code, and
are appropriate for the project:
COMMENT: The existiig Avon Center sign is
approximately 45 square feet in size and conforms with the
Avon sign code, which allows a maximum sign area of 64 square
feet for a building identification sign. The additional sign
area of the "Lodge At" letters is approximately 36 square

feet, bringing the total area of the buildihng identification
sign to approximately 81 square feet. The Avon sign code
does allow a building identification sign to exceed the 64
square foot maximum if "approved as part of a sign program by
the Planning and Zoning Commission". Staff feels that the
proposed sign amendments are appropriate in light of the
building mass/height and color.
G. Whether the sign is primarily oriented to
vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether the sign is
appropriate for the determined orientation;
COMMENT: Although the Avon Center building is
located adjacent to the pedestrian mall the building is
primarily oriented toward the vehicular traffic to the north.
The proposed sign amendments seem to be appropriate for the
determined orientation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of the proposed sign program
amendments as presented with the condition that the building
be painted to cover any "Sign Shadow" that may remain atter
the existing sign is moved. Also, the building should not
show any exposed mounting brackets, electrical outlets, etc.,
after the existing sign is moved.
