PZC Packet 081313AVON Staff Memorandum
TO: Planning and Zoning Comm i ,on
FROM: Jared Barnes, Planner II {
DATE: August 12, 2013
RE: Lots 21 and 65-B, and Tract Q, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Summary
As directed at your last meeting, the applicant for the East Avon color change application
has painted samples of the proposed colors on the Annex Building. The samples are located
along the alley between the Annex and Benchmark Shopping Center.
Please stop by at your convenience to access the colors samples. I have attached a
photograph of the proposed colors and the applicant has made some changes to their
application as follows:
1. The color samples: (from L to R, then T to B) "Manchester Tan"; "White Sand";
"Monterey White"; "Buckingham Gardens"; "Branchport Brown"
z. The proposed "red" color "Mexicana" is the same color as Montana's, therefore it
should serve as the sample.
3. The "Branchport Brown" was freshly painted in the picture and has dried and
lightened up since.
4. The revised Exhibit B vz still illustrates each color and their respective LRV values.
Also there is a proposed preference to each color (1, z, 3)

Response: Hoffinann Commercial Real Estate has identified areas in its existing "Avon
Real Estate Portfolio" where drastic improvement must be made. One of the areas identified
is the repainting of its properties with a more cohesive color palette. We have utilized
professional, local expertize via Worth Interiors to establish a color scheme that is consistent
with Avon's look, feel and core values. The color "Monterey White HC -27" is crucial in
accomplishing our goals and we are thus requesting a waiver of the required Light Reflective
Value of 60 to allow a LRV of 77.32 represented by the Monterey White.
Best regards,
Greg Hoffmann
