RE: Referral Request from the Village (at Avon) DRB concerning the Final Design Review
Application for Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon).
Summary
The Town of Avon (the Town) submitted a design application to the Village (at Avon) DRB (DRB) on May
2, 2011 for the development of Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon) as a public works facility site. The DRB
requested that the application be referred to the Town's Planning and Zoning Commission for comment.
The proposed improvements will allow the Town to relocate non -transit operations from the Swift Gulch
Public Works Facility (Swift Gulch) to Lot 5, including offices, large equipment storage and material
storage, prior to Phase I construction of the Swift Gulch redevelopment project next spring.
Background
The Town is preparing to demolish and rebuild the Town's existing public facility located at 500 Swift
Gulch Rd. Over $11.8 million in both state and federal grants have been secured to construct the new
facility; supplemented with $3 million in matching funds from the Town. In order to construct the new
facility, non -transit related operations currently housed at Swift Gulch must be relocated.
Lot 5 was dedicated to the Town in 2003 for a public works facility as part of the Village (at Avon) PUD.
The use of Lot 5 for a public works facility is therefore consistent with the existing zoning and intended
use of the property.
The Town submitted a complete and responsive Final Design application for Lot 5 to the DRB on
September 16, 2011.
Existing Conditions
Lot 5 was previously occupied by the Stone Creek Charter School. Site Improvements related to the
school consist of two entrances from the Yoder Avenue cul-de-sac, an internal circulation driveway, minor
landscaping, a paved parking area, an unscreened dumpster, over 17,000 square feet of modular school
buildings, playground equipment, and a monument sign at the Yoder Ave entrance. Ground cover
includes wood mulch in the playground area and native seed in the landscaped areas.
The property is located on Yoder Ave, east of Home Depot. Surrounding properties and land uses
include: 1-70 to the north, Lot 4 the back of the Home Depot building to the west; the Eagle River and
Union Pacific Railroad to the south, and Lot 6, Filing 1, Village(at Avon) to the west (planned for
parkland). A sidewalk runs along the southern property line of Lot 5, connecting Lot 6 to Yoder Ave.
Proposed Site Improvements
The proposed improvements to Lot 5 include: a modular office building, two refueling tanks, a large
vehicle/equipment parking area, outdoor bulk material storage area, storage sheds, site lighting,
landscaping and fencing. The site will be re -paved and re -graded to accommodate some minor storm
drainage improvements. Other minor site improvements include concrete containment barriers for the
bulk material storage area, electrical receptacles, and potable water connections. A stone monument sign
is proposed for the site entrance. All of the improvements will be for the use of the Town's public works
operation. The property will not be accessible to the general public. The proposed Final Design Plan is
attached as Exhibit A. The Application Narrative is attached as Exhibit B.
The proposed modular office building will be relocated from Swift Gulch to Lot 5. The building is
approximately 4,300 SF in size and 18 ft in height. The building dimensions are 68 ft wide by 64 ft long.
The building is finished with vertical wood siding and a flat roof. Raised decks will be constructed at three
entrances into the building. A handicapped accessible ramp will be constructed at the main entrance to
the building. The Town has agreed to re -paint the structure after it is moved on to the site.
The modular office building is proposed to be permitted for a period of no more than 5 years while the
Swift Gulch facility project is under construction. Lot 5 is located in Planning Area L of the Village (at
Avon) PUD, which permits "Temporary Real Estate Office Offices and Construction Offices" uses by right.
The Director of Community Development has determined that a temporary Public Works Office is similar
to these uses by right, and therefore permitted by -right on Lot 5.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the PZC provide referral comments to the Village (at Avon) DRB concerning all
relevant land use and planning aspects of the proposal including, the following:
1. The proposed use of Lot 5 for a public works facility is consistent with the zoning and
approved use of the Lot.
The Avon Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map recommends Lot 5 be
developed as a "civic/public" use.
The nature of the proposed site and development, including its size, shape, scale,
height, and arrangement of structures is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood and properties.
4. The location of buildings and structures, the landscaping, and the pedestrian and
vehicular circulation systems are adequate, safe, and efficient.
5. The proposed storm water management plan for the site has been approved by the
Town Engineer.
6. There is sufficient water service to the site for the proposed use.
7. Relocating the non -transit operations to Lot 5 prior to beginning Phase I construction
next spring is necessary in order to comply with the state and federal grant funding
requirements related to the Swift Gulch construction project.
VILLAGE (AT AVON) FINAL DESIGN REVIEW BOARD APPLICATION FOR:
LOT 5, FILING 1, VILLAGE (AT AVON), AVON, COLORADO
Summary
The Town of Avon (the Applicant) respectfully submits this application for
improvements to Lot 5, Filing 1 in the Village at Avon PUD (the Property) to the
Village (at Avon) Design Review Board (DRB) in accordance with The Village (at
Avon) Design Review Guidelines, 3rd Amendment, effective as of March 15, 2011
(the Design Guidelines). Due to the utilitarian nature of the site use, the interim
nature of the buildings, and the strict scheduling requirements imposed by outside
agencies, the Applicant requests timely Final Design Review approval. The Town
adequately addressed the conditions of approval during the Preliminary Design
Review meeting held on July 25, 2011. The Village DRB had the following
conditions for inclusion in the Final Design Review submittal, all of which are
incorporated into this submittal:
1. The Town shall furnish a $20,000 bond to ensure the removal of the
temporary office building within five (5) years. The bond is being procured and will
be furnished as part of the Technical Review submittal.
2. Change some of the proposed landscaping at the site entry from aspen trees
to evergreens to enhance year-round screening of the site entry.
3. Relocate some proposed trees from the NW lot corner to the south fence line
and provide additional screening for the entire south fence line, specifically creeping
vegetation on the fence and plantings both inside and outside the fence boundary.
4. Add 'Traer Creek' to the proposed monument sign at the site entry.
5. Add a tracking pad or similar way to mitigate mud tracking onto the
proposed asphalt surface.
The DRB waived the requirement for a Master Sign Program, Roof Plan, and Final
Model for this application at the Preliminary Design Review meeting.
The Applicant is proposing to relocate a portion of the Town's public works
operations to the Property this fall. The Property was dedicated to the Town in
2003 for the purpose of a public works facility. The use of Lot 5 for a public works
facility is therefore consistent with the existing zoning and intended use of the
Property.
The proposed office building is temporary in nature and anticipated to be in place
for a period of 5 years while a significant construction project disrupts operations at
the Town's Swift Gulch facility. The Property is located in Planning Area L of the
Village (at Avon) PUD, which permits "Temporary Real Estate Office Offices and
Construction Offices" uses by right. The Director of Community Development has
determined that a temporary Public Works Office is similar to these uses by right,
and therefore permitted by -right on Lot 5. The zoning determination can be found
in Attachment D. Immediate mobilization to the Property is crucial in order to
Town of Avon
DRB Final Application for Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon), Avon, CO
September 9, 2011
comply with the state and federal grant funding requirements related to the Swift
Gulch construction project. The desired date of September 1, 2011 has passed.
Background
The Town of Avon is preparing to demolish and rebuild the existing Public Works
facility at 500 Swift Gulch Rd. Over $11.8 million in state and federal grants have
been secured to construct the new facilities, supplemented with $3 million in Town
matching funds. In order to construct the new facilities at Swift Gulch, existing
facilities and operations currently housed at Swift Gulch must be relocated.
The Property was platted and dedicated to the Town in 2003 for the purpose of a
public works facility. Facility operations from Lot 5 will include road and park
maintenance and snow removal.
Existing Site Conditions
Lot 5 is currently occupied by the Stone Creek Charter School. Site Improvements
consist of two entrances from the Yoder Avenue cul-de-sac, an internal circulation
driveway, minor landscaping, a paved parking area, an unscreened dumpster, over
17,000 square feet of modular school buildings, playground equipment, and a
monument sign at the Yoder Ave entrance. Ground cover consists of wood mulch
in the playground area, and native seed in the landscaped areas. Photographs
representing the existing site conditions are included as Attachment A.
Proposed Site Improvements
The proposed improvements for the Property include: a modular office building, two
refueling tanks, a large vehicle/equipment parking area, an outdoor bulk material
storage area, site lighting, landscaping and fencing. The site will also be re -paved
and re -graded to accommodate some minor storm drainage improvements. All of
the improvements will be for the use of the Town's public works operation. The
Property will not be accessible to the general public.
The modular office building will be relocated from the existing public works facility
at 500 Swift Gulch Rd. The building is approximately 4,300 SF in size and 18 feet in
height. The building dimensions are 68 feet wide by 64 feet long. The building is
finished with vertical wood siding and a flat roof. Raised decks will be constructed
at three entrances into the building. A handicapped accessible ramp will be
constructed at the main entrance to the building.
Four storage sheds from the Swift Gulch facility also proposed to be relocated to
the Property. The sheds are approximately 11 feet by 15 feet by 10 feet tall. Other
minor site improvements include concrete containment barriers for the bulk
material storage area, electrical receptacles, and potable water connections. A
stone monument sign is proposed for the site entrance.

DESIGN GUIDELINES: VILLAGE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
DG 1.2 Village Design Philosophy and Theme: The Village Design Theme is
intended to establish an attractive appearance for visitors and residents while being
flexible enough to allow for affordable design solutions. Lot 5 was dedicated to the
Town in 2003 for the purpose of a future public works facility. Lot 5 was selected
by the Town and Developer as a public works facility to minimize any potential
negative impacts to other areas of the Village. The proposed buildings and
accessory uses are not visible from the public right-of-way and are not intended to
provide public usage of this area.
Lot 5 is located in Planning Area L of the Village (at Avon) PUD. This area is
envisioned as regional commercial area where residential, lodging, and service
oriented uses and activities serve the needs of residents and guests of the Upper
Eagle River Valley. The entrance of the Property at Yoder Ave is the only visible
portion of the Property from the public right-of-way and the proposed
improvements to this area are consistent with the Village Design Philosophy and
Theme including: landscaping that exceeds the Design Guidelines, new perimeter
fencing, new lighting fixtures that match the fixtures on the adjacent Wal-
mart/Home Depot property, and an attractive stone monument sign identifying the
name of the property and address. The proposed improvements to the Property
entrance complement the adjacent development, and will set a positive example for
future development expected in the Village.
The temporary public works offices, and accessory uses on Lot 5 are consistent with
the Village Design Philosophy and Theme because they provide an "affordable
design solution" for the approved use of the Property during the construction of the
Town's public works facilities at Swift Gulch. After the Swift Gulch construction
project is complete, the Town anticipates that it will replace the structures with new
buildings that reinforce the Village Design Theme, including LEED certification and
sustainable architectural design. In response to DRB comments, the Town has
prepared a resolution, included as Attachment E, which requires the modular
building to be removed from the site within 5 years of the DRB approval unless the
Town applies for and receives a time extension from the DRB. In response to DRB
comments, a surety bond is being procured for the Town to provide to the DRB
ensuring the proposed 5 -year life span of the temporary office building; this bond
will be provided after Final Design approval.
DESIGN GUIDELINES: SITE DESIGN
DG 2.1 Access and Parking: The Design Guidelines set forth the type of parking
preferred for each Planning Area within the Village at Avon subdivision, with the
exception of Planning Area L. The Applicant proposes surface parking which is
Page 3of13
Town of Avon
DRB Final Application for Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon), Avon, CO
September 9, 2011
consistent with the type of parking provided for a majority of Planning Area K (Wal-
Mart, Home Depot, and Traer Creek Plaza). The Applicant will improve the current
parking and vehicle circulation areas constructed for the Stone Creek School.
Section A.6.c of Exhibit C., PUD Guide requires 3 parking spaces per 1,000 SF of
gross leasable space. The office building is approximately 4,300 SF which results in
13 required parking spaces. The site plan provides 23 parking spaces including one
handicapped space.
The Town is proposing xeriscaping the existing landscape islands around the
parking lot. Existing pine trees will be replaced with aspen trees which are more
suitable for parking lot islands.
DG 2.2 Gradina and Drainaae: Minimal grading is needed for the site due to the
use of the existing site layout. Existing grades will be largely maintained over the
non-developed areas of the site to the east. A small amount of drainage on the
northern part of the site will drain to the north of the site and to the west, following
existing drainage patterns. The remainder of the site and the vast majority of
impervious area will drain into the existing storm sewer inlet in the landscape area
adjacent to the site entrance. Two other inlets are proposed to collect drainage
from the large vehicle parking and circulation area and from the outdoor wash
facility. In response to DRB comments, a 1,000 -gallon capacity sand/oil separator
has been added to the plan in-line with the storm drainage pipe as a water quality
measure. The Town of Avon public works department will maintain the facility in
perpetuity. A cut sheet of the proposed facility has been added to Attachment C.
Storm inlets and pipes will convey the drainage to the landscape island where flows
will reach the existing storm drainage culvert and tie into the Yoder Avenue storm
drainage system. The entire Yoder Avenue storm drainage system is then
conveyed to a large detention/infiltration pond located to the south of Wal-Mart.
None of the planted areas exceed the maximum 2:1 slope with a minimum of two
percent (2%) grade. The grass areas do not exceed a slope of 4:1 with a minimum
of two percent (2%) grade. The paved streets, driveways (with curb and gutter),
and parking surfaces/bays have positive drainage with a minimum of one-half
percent (1/2%) grade. Parking surfaces do not exceed a maximum grade of five
percent (5%). All walkways and other paved areas have positive drainage with a
minimum grade of one (1%) percent and do not exceed a maximum grade of five
percent (5%).
Prior to submittal of Final Design materials, Town Engineering staff conducted a
study of the existing and proposed drainage infrastructure on the site to ensure its
adequacy. Review of the Village at Avon Final Drainage Study (Martin -Martin,
2001) shows the site within drainage basin P-8. Basin P-8 includes not only Lot 5,
but the Home Depot site and the highway embankment areas to the north. The
proposed improvements will create runoff volumes well within the capacity of the
receiving storm drain system. A detailed analysis of the proposed drainage facilities
and runoff is included as Attachment F.
Page 4 of 13
Town of Avon
DRB Final Application for Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon), Avon, CO
September 9, 2011
Stormwater quality is provided by the inline sand/oil separator proposed at the
vehicle wash down area. It is anticipated that this area will see the vast majority of
contaminants and that it will occur during low flow events, e.g. vehicle washing.
Run-on to the site from the north (I-70 highway embankment) will be intercepted
along the north fenceline and routed to the west along an existing drainage channel
and easement. The drainage infrastructure proposed in the Final Design Review
application is adequate to convey storm drainage and improve water quality.
DG 2.3 Maximum Site Coverage: The proposed site plan complies with the site
coverage requirements outlined in the Design Guidelines. The proposed building
site coverage is 3.3%. The site coverage for all impervious surfaces is 48%. The
extent of asphalt paving is necessary due to the large public works vehicles (e.g.
snow plows, heavy equipment) utilizing the site. In response to DRB comments,
the ground cover on the eastern portion of the site, previously contemplated to be
a uniformly -graded cobble material, has been changed to native grass revegetation.
DG 2.4 Retaining Walls: No retaining walls are proposed.
DG 2.5 Accessory Structures: Four (4) storage sheds will be used as accessory
uses to the offices and outdoor storage facilities on the Property.
DG 2.6 Service Areas, Loading Docks, and Trash Storage: The Property will
be used for large vehicle parking and storage, as well as outdoor material and yard
storage. The Design Guidelines require "careful arrangement" of screening walls
and trees to mitigate these features.
The location of the Property and lack of visibility from adjacent properties creates
an opportunity for the Town to focus screening on the west property line adjacent
to the entrance of the site. By transplanting mature vegetation with new landscape
material, the Applicant believes it can provide a substantial and immediate visual
barrier. A mixture of new spruce trees and larger transplanted trees combined with
landscape berms up to 2 feet tall will screen the Property from adjacent properties
and the public right-of-way. The proposed landscape screening will complement
the existing spruce trees along the shared property line with Home Depot to create
an effective and natural landscape barrier which will visually screen the vehicle and
material storage for off-site views. To address DRB concerns, additional high-
quality landscaping has been added to assist in the screening of the site along the
west and south property lines. A more detailed description of the improved
landscape character can be found on Page 7.
The Property's trash receptacle is a 20 -cubic yard roll off dumpster located on the
northwest corner of the Lot. The proposed landscaping, fencing, and remote nature
of the area will provide sufficient screening from the public right-of-way. A
permanent enclosure will be constructed as part of the permanent improvements
on Lot 5.

Town of Avon
DRB Final Application for Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon), Avon, CO
September 9, 2011
DG 2.7 Utility Connections: No change is proposed for the existing utility
connections because the proposed site improvements are temporary in nature.
DG 2.8 Snow Removal and Temporary Storage: The Town is proposing on-site
snow storage. Due to the size and shape of the Property, the Town has sufficient
land to store snow on-site without compromising required on-site parking or vehicle
circulation. The snow storage areas are not visible from the public right-of-way and
plentiful solar exposure will aid in keeping snow piles to a minimum.
DG 2.9 LicihtincL The light fixtures on the modular office building are downcast
spot lights with motion sensors and timers. The light fixtures are shielded and
aimed to cast light down and onto the landings and steps by each door. The fixtures
comply with the Design Guidelines and the Town of Avon's Outdoor Lighting
Ordinance.
The light poles are full cut-off fixtures, and have the same shoe -box style design as
the light poles in the Home Depot parking lot. The fixtures and poles will be painted
black to match the color of the Home Depot fixtures. In response to DRB
comments, cut sheets of the proposed lighting have been added to Attachment C.
DG 2.10 Temporary Construction Facility: The nature of this application is in
part a temporary facility; therefore, the plans and specifications required by Section
2.10 of the Design Guidelines are included within this application.
DG 2.11 Communications and Satellite Dish Antennae: There are no
communication or satellite dish antennas proposed with this application.
DESIGN GUIDELINE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
DG 3. Architectural Desian:. The proposed buildings are not visible from the
public right-of-way and are not intended for public access or pedestrian orientation.
The modular buildings provide an affordable, interim design solution for the office
operations of the public works facility until the Swift Gulch construction project is
complete and permanent facilities can be constructed on Lot 5.
Height: The maximum building height in Planning Area L is 48 feet. All of the
proposed structures are below this height limit. The height of the modular office
building is 18 ft. Because this building is well below the maximum height limit, the
Applicant requests a waiver from the formal building height calculation exhibit.
DG 3.1 Massina and Scale: The addition of decks and porches on three sides of
the modular office building breaks up the massing or "boxiness" of the structure.
Building elements that achieve human scale include: ground floor windows,
perimeter landscaping and natural wood siding. South facing windows and
landscaping around the building will provide passive solar gain and cooling.
DG 3.2 Roofs: The modular office building has a nearly flat roof. All roof mounted
equipment is painted to match the roof color. Because the ridges, eaves, pitches,
Page 6 of 13
Town of Avon
DRB Final Application for Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon), Avon, CO
September 9, 2011
and penetrations in the roof structures are nearly non-existent, the Applicant
requests that DRB waive the requirement for a formal roof plan.
DG 3.3 Doors and Entries: The modular office building was designed with entry
doors on three sides of the buildings. The front entryway of the building includes
cedar deck and handicapped ramp which addresses the driveway in front of the
building and relates in size and scale of the building. Protection from sloughing
snow or ice is not necessary because the building has a flat roof.
DG 3.4 Windows: The modular building was designed with double -hung vinyl
windows with clear glass. The size and scale of the windows complements the
building fagade and communicates its use as a public works facility.
DG 3.5 Exterior Wall Materials: The modular building is finished with wood
siding and painted a tan color. The Applicant intends to re -paint the building after
it is relocated to the Property.
DG 3.6 Architectural Metals: The application does not propose the use of
architectural metals.
DG 3.7 Architectural Glass: The application does not propose the use of
architectural glass.
DG 3.8 Masonry: The application does not propose the use of masonry.
DG 3.9 Wood and Manufactured Products: Wood siding and manufactured
wood products are the primary building materials used on the modular buildings.
DG 3.10 Maximum Buildinc7 Heiciht: The modular office building is
approximately 18 feet in height, which conforms to the 48 feet maximum building
height required in Planning Area L.
DG 3.11 Sipnac7e: The Town proposes to install a natural stone monument sign at
the entrance of the Property. The sign will be nearly identical to the sign at the
Swift Gulch site . Sheet L.3 of Attachment B shows a rendering of the proposed
monument sign. The sign is attractive, appropriate and complies with the Design
Guidelines for Signs.
DESIGN GUIDELINE LANDSCAPE DESIGN
DG 4. Landscape Design: The Design Guidelines require 20% of a site to be
landscaped. The Applicant is proposing to landscape 27% of the Property. The
landscaped area will include: a native, drought -tolerant seed mix with wildflowers
for reseeding areas that are disturbed, new and transplanted mature trees, and the
use of xeriscaping techniques. The Landscape Plan will also utilize berming along
the western and southern property lines. The plant materials in this area consist of
spruce trees at least 8 -feet tall and aspen trees. Shrubs will meet the 5 gallon
minimum size. All landscape beds will contain natural wood mulch. The existing
Page 7of13
Town of Avon
DRB Final Application for Lot 5, Filing 1, Village (at Avon), Avon, CO
September 9, 2011
spruce trees planted by the Stone Creek Charter School will be relocated to the
west and south fence lines and replaced with aspen trees.
In response to DRB comments at the June 2, 2011 meeting, Zehren and Associates
prepared a landscape plan that addresses the arrival experience to the facility
which will be located at the terminus of Yoder Avenue, and immediately east of the
Wal-Mart / Home Depot. The goal is to create a positive image and mitigate views
into facility from the outside Following are some of the design elements that are
being proposed:
The landscape plan proposes to layer plant material in front of and behind an 8 foot
chain link fence, to create visual interest and screen views in from the outside. A
mix of evergreen trees, deciduous trees, native shrubs, ornamental grasses,
perennial and landscape boulders are proposed, organized around the relocated
Public Works Address Monument. Some of the plants are coordinated with plants
used elsewhere through -out the Village at Avon and to reinforce the sense of place,
and coordinate overall look and aesthetics.
The plan proposes two 14 foot wide gates at either end, one as an entry and the
other as an exit gate. The gates will be decorative steel / wrought iron and break
up the chain link fence, be more durable and operational, and create a sense of
pride and security for the facility.
Landscaping is proposed along the south fence border, to selectively filter views
into the facility from the adjacent sidewalk, and neighborhood across the river.
Landscaping is proposed around the building, around the parking lots, and internal
to the site to soften the expanse of paving and create some shade for parked cars.
Reseeding is proposed to be a 'dry native mountain revegetation mix' that has been
created specifically for our region, and includes a variety of native grasses and
forbes. The seeding is proposed in a major area of the site, and replaces areas
previously proposed as crushed aggregate.
Irrigation will be kept to a minimum. The only permanent irrigation will be drip
irrigation at the tree and shrub locations. All ground cover is proposed to be
natural wood mulch. No sod is proposed. Disturbed areas outside of tree areas will
be re -vegetated with a weed -free native grass mix with wildflowers. Temporary
above -ground irrigation will be installed in re -vegetated areas and will be removed
once the vegetation is satisfactorily established in order to minimize water usage.
