VI. Public Hearing
A. Lots 38 – 41 and Tracts A & W, Block 1, Benchmark at
Beaver Creek Subdivision – The Cove
Project Type: Residential PUD -27 units
Property Owner: Tanavon, Inc.
Applicant: Ray Nielsen, AIA
Address: 0471, 0240, 0491, & 0511 Metcalf Road
Motion
Commissioner Dantas moved to table the Public Hearing for Lots 38-41 and Tracts A & W,
Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision – The Cove. Commissioner Klein seconded.
The motion passed unanimously.
B. Lot 22 & Tract B, Chapel Square Subdivision – Chapel
Square Shopping Center
Project Type: Design Modification
Property Owner: Chapel Square, LLC.
Applicant: Leo Palmos
Consultant: Paul Trementozzi, OZ Architecture
Address: 0200 East Beaver Creek Boulevard
Karen Griffith said the owners of Chapel Square propose two exterior changes to the design.
These changes are based on “value engineering” to meet financing requirements.
• The first revision is to reduce the length of the arcade on the west and north end of Building
B and the arcade on the north end of Building C, which faces the Chapel.
• The second revision is to change the roof material over the building entrances on the south
side of Building B from standing metal seam to an asphalt composite to match the main roof
material.
Staff’s opinion is that removal of the arcade on the north side of Building B will be in conflict
with this criterion. The north side of Building B is adjacent to Chapel Place, which will be one
of the connecting streets to property to the east. This side of the building will be highly visible.
Also, the arcade will provide a better pedestrian area, to shield pedestrians from weather and
Staff believes the removal of the arcade from the west side of Building B and the north side of
Building C will be acceptable, because these are the sides of the buildings and are not the
primary pedestrian areas.
Staff believes the change in the lower roof material at the building entrances will be acceptable
since it will match the main roof of the building.
Paul Trementozzi, project architect, said the company is in the process of modifying to save a
little money. He said these changes would not change the appearance of the project. He said he
would like to pursue the deletion of the arcade from the north side of Building B for which staff
is recommending denial. He said that this is minor, as this is only about 50 feet of area.
He said they would also like to create a flat spot on the roof of Building C and move the small
cooling units on to this spot where they would not be seen.
Commissioner Fehlner said her concern was the pedestrian connection to the Town of Avon
because of the proposed development beside this project.
Mike Matzko said the pedestrian thoroughfare at the East End of this project will be actively
used regardless on what happens with future developments.
Karen Griffith said The Village at Avon would use the trail net work that connects with Chapel
Square.
Motion
Commissioner Railton moved to approve the Modification of Final Design for Tract B and Lot
22, Chapel Square Subdivision, as depicted on plan sets dated July 17, 1998, as follows:
1. The roofing material change.
2. The deletion of the arcade from the west side of Building B and the north side of Building C
3. The design changes to the roof of Building C to accommodate the cooling units.
4.Deny the proposed deletion of the arcade from the north side of Building B.
Commissioner Evans seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
C. Lot 54, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision – Smith Residence
Project Type: Single family residence
Property Owner: Dan and Teresa Smith
Applicant: Michael Sanner, Architect
Address: 2660 Beartrap Road
George Harrison said these single-family residence measures 3,800 square feet in area, features
stucco siding with stone and wood accents, and a walkout lower level. The structure bends to
form an entry court on the north side. The construction appears to be a combination of modular
and stick-built construction.
The site is steep, sloping approximately 23% down from Beartrap Road. The site faces south
with excellent solar exposure and views. He said staff feels this project works in context with
neighborhood.
Commissioner Dantas asked if there were places where the grading exceeded 2:1.
Mr. Harrison said yes, but feels this will be easy to address with the applicant.
Michael Sanner, project architect, said he feels he has meet all of engineering’s requirements and
does not know where the grading might exceed the 2:1 ratio.
Commissioner Evans said the trim color seems to been in contrast to the rest of the building.
Mr. Sanner said he did not want to get too many gray tones; so to break it up wanted to make the
trim a fir color.
Motion
Commissioner Dantas moved to approve Final Design for Lot 54, Block 2, Wildridge
Subdivision, as depicted on the application and plan set dated July 7, 1998, with the condition
that engineering comments be addressed as follows:
1. Grading should not exceed a 2:1 slope.
2. Driveway tie in should not pass the property line.
3. Driveway entrance elevations should correlate to the topographic site map. This will affect
the driveway slope at the entrance.
The motion passed unanimously.
D. Lot 48, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision – Reynolds Duplex
Project Type: Color Modification
Property Owner/Applicant: Buz Reynolds, Jr.
Address: 2550 Old Trail Road
Karen Griffith said the applicant has applied for a siding color change from Pratt and Lambert
“Aqua Green” to a Super Deck “Valley” transparent. He is also requesting a reddish brown
custom color solid body latex stain for the trim instead of the white trim originally specified. A
color board was presented at the meeting. Although the color appears to be very bright as it has
been applied on the building, Ms. Griffith said staff anticipates that it will fade.
Commissioner Dantas asked why would some one change the color on purpose, knowing that the
colors should have been approved. He said he has had many citizens tell him that this building
stands out from the surrounding structures.
Commissioner Karow asked if the window trim color was changed. He said a full color board
needs to be brought back, and not do it piece by piece.
Commissioner Evans said this project should be “red tagged” and shut down because the
windows have been out of compliance for months.
Motion
Commissioner Railton moved to table Final Design Color Modification for Lot 48, Block 2,
Wildridge. Commissioner Evans seconded. The motion passed 5-2 with Commissioners Klein
and Macik opposing.
E. Lot 36, Bock 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision -
Williams Duplex
Project Type: Design, Material, and Color Modification
Property Owner/Applicant: Kit Williams
Address: 0248 West Beaver Creek Boulevard
George Harrison said the applicant owns both units of this duplex and has applied for the
following modifications:
1. Raise the roofs above both garages to increase interior space.
2. Change roof material from cedar shakes to asphalt shingles.
3. Change wood siding and trim to steel siding and trim. Colors would also change from dark
stain to Claytone (field) and Wickertone (trim).
4. Change aluminum windows to white/beige vinyl.
5. Change sliding doors to atrium doors.
6. Change front doors to six panel steel doors.
Commissioner Karow asked if a room was being added.
Kit Williams said a room was not being added; an existing room was being enlarged.
Motion
Commissioner Evan moved to approve Final Design Modification for Lot 36, Block 2, Wildridge
Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated July 14, 1998. Commissioner
Klein seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
VII. Other Business
A. Staff Introduction to the Village at Avon Annexation
Application Materials.
Mike Matzko said a similar proposed annexation, then Avon Village, came before the
Commission and Council in 1995, and the application subsequently withdrawn. He reviewed the
application packet answered questions that the Commission had regarding the application, and
went over staff’s proposed schedule for review of the Village at Avon.
Bill Post, attorney and applicant’s representative, distributed a memo summarizing how this
project has changed through time, and asked the Commission what they would like to see
addressed in the future presentations.
Commissioner Fehlner said she would like clarification of the amount of commercial verses
residential being proposed, and why the recreation path apparently come to a stop and turn into
buildings. Ms Fehlner said she will have questions about traffic issues, but knowing an I-70
interchange is being added reduces her concern.
Commissioner Evans said he is interested in how this project will tie in with the public facilities:
i.e. water, phone, gas, sewer and power. He said he has questions about the parking and whether
industrial type projects will be allowed.
Commissioner Klein said his concern is if the sewer, roundabouts, police department, and fire
department will be able to keep up with the demands this project will put on the town. He said
he is also concerned about the tax burden this could put on the people currently here.
Commissioner Macik said two of his main concerns are the entrances to the town. He said the
backside of the buildings such as City Marked and Chapel Square present a wall, and would like
to know how this will be addressed.
Commissioner Dantas asked about the type of homes that are to be built. He was concerned that
this was becoming a high society area. Was there going to be a maximum and minimum placed
on the size of the structures being built?
Commissioner Railton said were the land connects to the Town of Avon is her primary concern
and would like to see more information on the Highway 6 connection.
Commissioner Fehlner said when they go through the PUD process she would like to see more
information how the design review process relates to the PUD.
Commissioner Karow said he would like to know more about the Village design guidelines.
He also has questions about the definition of the zoning areas. He said he sees Avon becoming a
2-exit town and would like to see the 2 exits working together.
