Lot 45. Block 4-.—Wildridge Subdiv si_on.,_ Sam and __A_L_l-1son
Ecker, Single Family Residence, Final Deslgn _Review
Rick Pylman stated that Lot 45 is about an acre in size. It
has two frontages, on Wildridge Road East and Longsun Lane.
The lot is very steep from Wildridge Road East and the
applicants have chosen to access the property from Longsun
Lane. The area where the building is located is slopeO about
24%, so it is relatively steep. The Commission has seen this
at conceptual review and questions that came up were:
1. Exact color samples.
2. Concern on application techniques on the hard boara
siding.
3. The question of using divided lights above the larger
windows.
4. A request to break up some of the lines of the lawn,
soften the landscape plan a little bit.
5. Additional landscaping at the northwest corner of the
building and one of the garage elevations.
6. Also, request the removal of railroad ties from use on
the project.
7. A review of the woodruf shingle product.

Ecker. Single Famil�Residencey_Final__Desi _n_Review��cont.l,
The house is two story, gable roofs, two car garage, about.
3,000 square feet, not including the garage. It meets
maximum building height requirements of 35 feet. The
materials are a 6" masonite lap siding, woodruf shingle and a
triple pane thermal window. The applicant will provide
samples of the building colors.
Staff recommendation is for approval with the conditions that
the landscape plan should be amended to better define where
the automatic irrigation will be provided and where drip
irrigation will be provided to tree groupings. Also there is
a retainage problem with the driveway grade.
Sam Ecker stated that he has repainted the sample board that
he had provided at conceptual review and it is cioser to the
colors proposed. The railroad ties have been removed, the
landscaping has been changed so that it is not so square. He
stated that he, just today, got the latest plans from the
engineer on the grading and the driveway is now for the most,
part at 10%. There is one small section that 'is about
10-1/2%. The slope grading that needed a ret,aining wall has
been adjusted and is not to exceed a 2-1 grading.
He stated that they want to use the windows above the larger
windows.
Discussion followed on the windows and on the colors to h,
used. Discussion followed on the grade and the driveway.
The landscaping pian was then discussed.
Reynolds asked if the siding material was masonite or hard
board. The applicant stated that it is hard board. The
applicant was reminded that the wood burning fireplace would
require a $1500.00 fee. Henry Vest asked if the applicant
is still planning on using the woodruf shingle. The
applicant stated that they were. Discussion followed on trie
painting of the exposed metal chimney.
Sue Railton moved to grant final design approval for Lot 45,
Block 4, Wildridge, with the conditions that the grading and
drainage plan be approved by the Town Engineer and that the
applicant paint the exposed metal chimney flues.
Derek Pysher seconded.
The motion carried unanimously.

or Sandstone Developme_nt,__Conceptual_
Rick Pylman stated that this is a conceptual desig,. review of
a fourplex. He stated since there will be no formal
recommendation from staff, he will just let Mark Harrison
explain the project.
Mark Harrison provided a handout showing the elevations,
general landscaping and floor plans. He stated that the lot
is located at the west end of Old Trail Road just north of
the Kedrowski project. The lot is zoned for a fourplex. The
units range from about 1000 to 1300 square feet. They are
proposing using smooth lap siding. He will provide a color
rendering at final design review. It will be a grey or
grey/tan, not dark brown. The units will face southwest.
There will be sod in front, then native grasses, evergreens,
aspen and cottonwoods. There will be gas log fireplaces,
clad windows( double pane). He also provided a general site
plan. Discussion followed on the grade of the let.
Considerable discussion followed on the location of the guest
parking. It was suggested that the applicant locate the
guest parking in a more convenient area. Discussion followed
on the type of roofing the applicant plans to use. He stated
he is waiting for more information and a sample of the new
roofing material that he had shown to Commission last
meeting.
As this was a conceptual review no formal action was tarsen.
The Commission did encourage the applicant to continue with
the project, as they were pleased with the concept and the
design.
Lots 1, 2, and.3 Sunroad Subdi_vislon_,__Prellmma_ry__ _Plat
Review
Rick Pylman stated that this is a request for a resubdivision
of the Sunroad property. This is the property that surrounds
the 1st Bank of Avon. The way the Subdivision Regulations
read, this type of request, technically goes straight to the
Town Council. However, the Council has requested an informal
Planning and Zoning Commission review and recommendation.
The Staff has received this and have started to look aL it.
The staff does not have a recommendation at this time. Right
now there are 3 lots that make up the subdivision. The 1st
Bank of Avon property; there is a small lot just to the west
of that; and then a larger lot that surrounds those two
lots.

Review, (cont)
The Sunroad Developers are working with the postal service to
purchase a part of the property. They are interested in
purchasing Lot 1 of the resubdivision. There is a new public
road involved that will come off of Avon Road. Due to the
median on Avon Road, no left turnswill be allowed. This is
really at a preliminary plan stage, most of the issues are
pretty much engineering concerns. There is really one
planning issue to be dealt with and that is, is the lot
layout appropriate with our Master Plan, with the zoning, and
with the transportation master plans. Pylman stated that he
thinks it probably is. Some of the engineering questions
have to be answered before the other questions can be
answered and that is where they are at this time. Uses are
not an issue in a subdivision plat, however this parcel is
zoned Town Center.
Considerable discussion followed on possible uses, however,
since there was much concern about egress and ingress.
Concern was voiced regarding the lot sizes, since the one lot
is so large and the others are so small. Pylman stated that
the post office is probably doing some long range planning,
with the purchase of this large lot. More discussion
followed on the traffic that the post office would generate.
Considerable discussion followed on the conformance of this
project with the Comprehensive Plan.
Rick Pylman stated that he would incorporate all comments
made by the Commission into his report to the Town Council.
