SECTION 15.28.070 _ Desi-gn_Review Criteria In addition to the sign Design Guidelines listed above, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall also consider the following criteria while reviewing proposed designs: A. The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located: STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION January 21, 1992 Page 3 of 5 Lot 23, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision All Phase Electric Sign Design Review COMMENT: The sign design guidelines encourage anodized metal signs as well as individual plexiglass -faced letter. The proposed size of the sign is acceptable. B. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements: COMMENT: The Deep Rock Warehouse to the west (Loc 24) displa;s two back -lit anodized metal box signs, which are 36 square feet and 28 square fact in si_e. The signage approved for the Avon Self Storage Building (Lot 25) to the west included white letters on a soft back -lit strip. The approved size of individual letters was 1.5' x 1' and extending 17' in length or approximately 25 square tees in size. The Mountain Center Building (Lots 26/27) signs are 2' x 14' or 28 square feet each. These signs are back -lit, bronze cabinet signs with frosted plexi -glass lenses. Columbine Moving and Storage, which is in thF Wolff Warehouse, has two (18 square feet and 24 square teet) anodized metal box signs.

Staff feels that the pr -dominantly red and black interior lit All Phase Electric sign will not have a detrimental visual impact on the surrounding neighborhood. E. The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to ether signs in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired. COMMENT: As mentioned above, it would not appear that the red and black All Phase Electric sign would have the same detrimental visual impact as the previously approved white plexiglass faced signs. 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 type height, size and quantity of signs does comply with the Avon Sign Code. G. Whether the sign is primarily orienLed to vehicular or pedistrian traffic, and whether the sign is appropriate for the determined orientation. COMMENT: This sign is primarily oriented to vehicular traffic.

Lot 58 is 2.17 acres (94,525 sgL.xre feet) in size, however, slightly more than half of the lot (49,500 square feet) is platted as "non -developable area" within which no development is allowed. The size of the remaining developable portion of the lot is 45,025 square feet. Lot 58 is located at the corner of West Wildridge Road_ and June Point. The lot slopes toward the southwest at 30-40% on the east side of the lot and 15-30% on the west side of the lot. Existing grade in the area of the proposed residence appears to be approximately 20%. The landscape and grading plan submitted in conjunction with this house is very conceptual in nature. On May 21, 1991, the applicant received final design review approval for a different single family home on Lot 58. The building and grading costs associated with that approval exceeded the applicant's construction budget. The applicants have redesigned the house somewhat, and have moved its location closer to the road. The building is two stories high and includes an attached two car garage. Exterior building materials include rustic channel and board and batten cedar siding, cedar shingles and aluminum clad wood windows.
