Benchmark at Beaver_Cr_eek_ Subdivision, _ Jack Hunn for Beaver Bench Condo_Association._._Proposed, _Buildi_ng Color Change, Design Review Jim Curnutte stated that the Beaver Bench Condo Association is requesting a change in the color of the two buildings. At Ghis time each building is painted a different color. Jack Hunn, representing the Association, presented photos of the two buildings. One of their goals is to get them both painted the same color and the other goal is to pick a single color, rather than two colors that they think accentuates some bad architectural detail. The color they have selected is a solid body, sort of grey/beige color, #SCE7. They would like to pick a trim color after they see this on the buildings. It would be several shades darker of the same color. The dumpster enclosure and entry sign will be painted the same color. After discussion, Clayton McRory moved to approve the color change for Lot 7, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. Derek Pysher seconded. The motion was amended to include the requirement that the painting be done by the end of September. Pysher seconded the amendment. The motion carried unanimously.

Lot 45 is 0.94 of an acre and has frontage on both Wildridge Road East and Longsun Lane. The applicant is proposing to access the property from Longsun Lane. The buildable portion of the property slopes toward the southwest at approximately 24%. The building is a two story stick built home with gable roofs and a two car garage. Proposed building materials are 6" masonite lap siding, woodruf shingles and triple pane aluminum windows, flagstone walkway and an asphalt driveway. The applicant has color and material samples. A site grading and a landscape plan have been provided. The landscape plan includes a proposed level lawn area in the back of the house which utilizes a railroad tie retaining wall. Staff will point out that the driveway grade appears to be excessive. The applicant will be working on this problem. Considerable discussion followed on all aspects of this project, especially the use of masonite siding. As this was a conceptual r -,view, no formal action was taken at this time. The Commission suggested the applicant consider the following when he comes in for final design review: - Exact color samples - Be aware of application techniques on the hard board siding. - Review the window fenestration with respect. t., divided lights above regular windows - Break the rigid lines of the lawn and landscape, design - review the retaining walls - Additional landscap-ng on the northwest corner of the building and the bare garage elevation - No used railroad ties - Review the woodruf shingle product Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge_Subdivisi.on,_ William Hein Design Revisions, Conceptual Design Review Jim Curnutte stated that this is the lot that Greg Kraft currently owns. He stated that the Commission had denied final design review on the last version of this plan and that denial was appealed to the Town Council and they chose to approve the plan. The applicant, William Hein is requesting PLANNING AND September 3, Page 3 of 6 ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES 1991 Lot 18, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, William Hein__,_ Design Revisions Conceptual Des ig Review�.__�cont� some design revisions of the building and some site changes. They revisions are: - Removal of one of the five one -car garages. This would eliminate some of the massing of the building. - Change the roof form to better deal with snow shedding and improve the look of the building. - Eliminate the interior space previously proposed to be used for storage/meeting/mechanical areas. This space would be incorporated into the habitable area of the units. - Redesign the interior floor plans of the units to better utilize the building's habitable space. These changes will be accompanied by the necessary fenestration changes. The applicant has indicated that he has no intention of changing the exterior building materials or landscape plan. William Hein stated he would answer any questions the Commission might have. He stated that they feel that these changes would make the project more cost effective, make the units work better and therefore more marketable, and to deal with some of the snow discharge problems. He stated that at final they may want to look at using the hard board siding. They are looking at possibly using some vertical shingle applications also on the gable ends. Considerable discussion followed on all the proposed changes. It was the general concensus that the proposed changes would greatly enhance the project. Also discussed was the considerable amount of parking area. The applicant was asked to work with the Staff to try to reduce the amount of asphalt area if at all possible, and add more landscaping in that area. Discussion followed on the possible colors to be used. It was suggested that they be earth tone colors. The landscaping and irrigation system was discussed. The use of sod on the south side of the building was discussed. It was felt that there should only be small areas of sod. Also discussed was a potential deck system along the back side. Since this was a conceptual review, no formal action was a taken at this time. However, the Commission urged the applicant to consider the following: - Finalize the siding material - Detail at gable ends with respect to possible vertical shingles PLANNING AND September 3, Page 4 of 6 ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES 1991 Lot 18, Block 1, Wildrid9e Subdivision_ William Hein.

Block 21, Wi ldri_d_ge__Subdivi_sion _,.___Mark Harrison ___fo_r Sandstone Development Proposed_ Building _Design __and _Roof Material Changes Design Review Jim Curnutte stated that Mark Harrison had submitted a letter requesting administrative approval for some proposed changes on the 4 unit project. Four of the changes were items were acceptable to Staff and they were approved administratively. They were essentially window changes. However, another' request was a change of the roofing material from cedar shakes to woodruf shingles and Staff felt that the Commission should decide this matter. Another request is to, on building #2, enclose a 7' x 7' deck area and make it a part of the habitable area and add a new deck along the entire front of the building. Mark Harrison stated that these changes are a request from a potential buyer. Discussion followed on the proposed changes regarding the decks. It was the general consensus that these changes were suitable. However, during discussion regarding the change of the roofing material, it was felt that the woodruf shingles would not be appropriate for this particular project. Sue Railton moved to approve the changes to the design, enclosing the deck and adding a new deck on the front and adding a door to the east elevation to house #2, but denying the change of roofing material from cedar shakes to woodruf shingles. Derek Pysher seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

Clnyton McRory seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Other Business Sue Railton had a question regarding the south elevation of City Market. She stated that this seems to be different than any renderings that have been posted. On the renderings the entrance to the library has some detail over the dor-. In actuality there are only sliding doors. She asked that Staff check this out. Jim Curnutte stated that he intended to check on the landscaping being done anyway and will check out the concern voiced by Ms. Railton. Clayton McRory stated that the allocation for signage area for the Avon Beaver Creek Resort is not adequate. It is proposed for the south side which cannot be seen from the street and he would like to see it be allowed for the front so that it can be seen from the street. It is an information center, but if it is not marked well, then you may as well not lave it. Jim Curnutte will check on all or these concerns. Derek Pysher asked about the painting of the breezeways at Sunridge. Jim Curnutte stated that the Sunridge Board will be discussing this issue at their next Board meeting on September 7th. It was suggested that if they do not have the money to do it this year, they be allowed to do it next year. John Perkins stated that Ben Krueger has made some very positive improvements to the landscape down to the river. He has built a natural stepping stone path down the hill and has introduced landscaping in between the rocks, etc., which is nice. He has made a jetty into the river and have put a swing from one of the trees by }he river. None of these improvements were on the plans and Perkins asked what the procedure is for this. Jim Curnutte stated that usually Staff can appruva this type of landscape improvements. Perkins stated that they also like the arches that were put over the garage door and would like to repeat a smaller arch on the street elevation and side elevation o the walkway. Jim Curnutte stated that Mr. Krueger should provide a written request for administrative approval if these changes.
