Ordinances:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 96-8, Series of 1996, AN ORDINANCE
REZONING FROM RHDC TO PUD AND APPROVING A PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR LOT 1, EAGLEWOOD SUBDIVISION, TOWN OF AVON, EAGLE COUNTY,
COLORADO
Town Planner Karen Griffith noted this Ordinance is a proposal
for Lot 1, Eaglewood Subdivision, known as the Brookside
development, to rezone from the existing residential high density
commercial (RHDC) to planned unit development (PUD) zoning. The
proposed rezoning would allow limited commercial uses, such as
professional offices, mpdica' offices, and has reduced the'amou_nt
of units from the existing development that has been approved
from 96 units to 46 units. The amount of commercial,square
footage is 29,000. The foot prints of the buildings remain the
same and one building would be removed from what we have on the
books right now.
Councilor Nottingham requested clarification . . . this is the
old Meyers ranch . . then Garton's? Planner Griffith stated yes.
Councilor Nottingham asked if the neighboring property owners,
such as Sunridge, will be notified of this proposed change. Mr.
Rick Pylman responded that the owners were notified of the
Planning Commission public hearing and added that the management
company wrote a letter of support for the project.
Mr. Rick Pylman, representing Frank Navaro of Navaro & Company ,
and the Lowery Family Trust, who are the owners of the property,
outlined the history of the project. Lot 1 of the Eaglewood
'Subdivision is a 4.7 acre parcel. Mr. Pylman described the
property and detailed the location of the property with the
support of an aerial photograph. Lot 1 is all on the south side
of the river. There were actually three lots in the Eaglewood
Subdivision; Lot 1, Lot 2, and Tract W. Lot 2 is not under Mr.
Navaro's control. This application is only for Lot 1. Mr.
Navaro owns Tract W, which is essentially the Eagle River - a
little land on the north side of the Eagle River. It seems this
has been created to be the river set back.
Mr. Pylman continued, as part of the 1981 annexation agreement, a
time frame was set up and actually, sometime next year, Tract W
automatically reverts to Town of Avon ownership. The property,
as annexed, was zoned for 130 units. Mr. Navaro bought the
property in February, 1994 and started a design review process.
The project was first submitted as a 96 unit townhouse project.
Both P & Z and the developer agreed that that was not the best
approach. Mr. Pylrnan described the property and highlighted the
big line of cotton wood trees following the ditch. In order to
accommodate the 96 units, the lot would have basically needed to
be leveled and the ditch covered. Next proposed was a four
building approach, with 96 units, that were four story buildings.
That received design approval in August of 1994. That approval
is still valid until August of this year and could possibly be
extended. Upon further review, the proposal presented this
evening is even more sensitive to the site. Mr. Pylman
reiterated the property currently is zoned RHDC. That zoning, in
addition to the 130 units, allows some commercial uses. It allows
some retail, restaurant, and service commercial. The concept of
the property is office uses and office uses is not specifically
listed in the RHDC. After conversing with Staff, the PUD route
was determined the way to go. The concept is close to RHDC. The
PUD eliminates potential uses such as a 7-11 or liquor store or a
restaurant. The uses applied for in this PUD are day time - 8 to
5 - uses and designed to be low impact to the adjacent
residential properties that are both Mr. Navarro's and Sunridge.
The application is for 46 units and 291000 square feet of
commercial space. Mr. Pylman introduced Mr. Navarro as both the
developer and architect.
Mr. Navarro detailed the project with the assistance of numerous
maps and drawings. Mr. Navarro compared his project with a
campus. A four story building has been scaled back to two story.
The buildings will be steel structures. The cotton wood trees
and spruce trees have been included in the project and the ditch
will become a possible water feature. A semi private lap pool
and two hot tubs will be provided for the employees and residents
of the project. Mr. Navarro would like to start the commercial
buildings, the site amenities, and the excel and decel lanes in
late June.
Councilor Nottingham asked for clarification regarding the down
zoning. Mr. Navarro bought the property with zoning to allow 130
units, current approval is for 96, then it went to 58
anticipating a four story building. Currently, the application
this evening is for 46 units in the two story building closet to
Sunridge. Councilor Nottingham asked about building heights.
The two story building goes up to 441.
Councilor Nottingham asked what the market range is for the
residential units. Mr. Navarro responded a two bedroom unit,
with underground parking space, is priced at $185-195,000 and the
three bedroom units would be in the $230-$255,000 range. The
townhouses are expected to be in the $325-395,000 range. The
townhouses are 2,100 square feet, four bedroom, four bath, with
garage.
Councilor Nottingham questioned the 15% reduction in parking.
Planner Griffith informed P & Z recommended that the final
parking analysis be deferred to the final design review. Planner
Griffith read the four P & Z recommended conditions of approval
written in the ordinance.
Councilor Hines voiced concerned about snow storage.
Councilor Nottingham questioned number of parking spaces required
versus the number of parking spaces requested. Mr. Pylman
explained the parking standards for the Town are 3 spaces per
1,000 square feet of office space and 4 spaces per 1,000 square
feet of retail.
2
Mr. Pylman continued, if you figure the project is just office
and retail, the applicant is at 4.3 per 1,000 . . . more parking
spaces then those two items require. The Town's regulations also
include another method of calculating parking in a mixed use
project. The purpose is to allow tenants to move in and out and
the Town not have to recheck the parking every time a new tenant
moves in. And, restaurants are a higher parking use than either
retail or office. The mixed use calculation is 5.5 spaces per
1,000 square feet. So, 5.5 on the first floor, 4 on every floor
above that, is part of the calculation. Part of that mixed use
calculation is an automatic 15o reduction of the total, if the
property has no reserved parking, if it is served by a bus, if it
is a commercial or PUD zone district and if there is snow
storage. If you use that method of calculating the project, you
would come out to 116 spaces required on the commercial, with
that built in 15% reduction. The project is proposing 124
available to the commercial. And, there are two parking spaces
per residential unit. If you didn't take that 1511 reduction, it
would be 137 spaces. There are a total of 239 parking spaces.
Councilor Nottingham asked about a bus stop. Mr. Pylman noted a
bus stop would be built if someone were to bring a bus in there.
However, a sidewalk over to the West Beaver Creek Blvd.
intersection has been agreed to, so people can walk to the bus
stop at the west day lot.
Councilor Hines asked., if a specific use is not requested in the
PUD, does that limit other uses. Planner Griffith stated the PUD
is very restrictive. The use would need to be listed as a use by
right or a special review use to move in there. Mr. Pylman added
the uses have been amended. Restaurants and sporting goods were
eliminated and the wording for medical offices was changed to
make that more compatible. The current use list is what is
written in the PUD guide.
Councilor Hines asked where the sewer line comes into the
property. Mr. Gary Brooks, from Alpine Engineering, responded.
Councilor Hines asked about the bike path's proximity to the
river. Mr. Navarro responded approximately 25' from the river.
Councilor Carnes asked about the possibilities of on-site housing
for employees. Mr. Narvarro stated all units will be for sale,
without any restrictions.
Councilor Benson motioned to approve, on first reading, ordinance
No. 96-8, Series of 1996. Councilor Nottingham seconded the
motion.
Mayor Reynolds called for a roll call vote.
The motion carried unanimously.
Ordinances:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 96-9, Series of 1996, AN ORDINANCE
PROVIDING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF ORDINANCE NO. 95-7, NOTTINGHAM
STATION, PUD AMENDMENT NO. 2, TOWN OF AVON, EAGLE COUNTY,
COLORADO
Planner Griffith informed this is an amendment of the building
envelopes for A, B, C, & D on Lot 4 of the Nottingham Station
PUD. The project name is the Canyon Run project. There was an
error in the location of the buildings when they were staked out
and the building envelopes are being requested to be modified.
This is the only change being requested of this PUD.
3
Planner Griffith continued, the buildings would remain out of the
100 year floor plain and would be outside of the non-disturb area
as delineated on the PUD. The Ordinance has been prepared with
two conditions and Planner Griffith read those conditions.
Essentially, the Ordinance is accommodating moving the buildings
3' closer to the river, with a 2' overhang. The building
envelopes would move 5' closer to the Eagle River. If approved
on first reading, it would go to P & Z for public hearing and P &
Z's consideration and then a second reading to Council for public
hearing two weeks from tonight.
Mr. Ken Shapiro, President of Shapiro Development Company which
is the development manager for Canyon Run, LLC, presented
drawings to help show the requested revision of the building
°nvelopes. Mr. Shapiro expressed his embarrassment and noted he
is very distressed by this problem. Mr. Shapiro is not taking
this lightly. As soon as the problem was discovered he
immediately took steps to verify the news. Once verified, Mr.
Shapiro contacted his lender and scheduled a meeting with the
Town. Mr. Shapiro did not ever, in any way, intend for this to
happen. Mr. Shapiro asked for relief. Although the error is
substantial in distance, a 5' error, Mr. Shapiro hoped Council
would view it as not devastating in terms of it's impact on the
minimum standards that are required under the Town ordinances.
That is, the buildings are still set back from the mean annual
water mark, they are :still not within the 100 year flood plain
and they have no impact on the wetlands. This error creates some
present and significant challenges in maintaining distances and
working within, as previously delineated, the no disturb line.
Mr. Shapiro is prepared to make that work, even if he receives
relief. The parties seeking relief extend beyond the owner of
the land. Should they not obtain this relief, it would create
severe economic consequences for the construction lender, the
general contractor, the surveyor, all the subs and suppliers that
are in the midst of constructing the project and 23 buyers who
are already committed to buy and have non-contingent contracts to
buy these units. Timing is critical to obtain the relief. The
job is closed down and the construction lender has significant
concerns. It is everyone's best interest to get this resolved as
soon as possible. Mr. Shapiro noted in light of discovering this
error, they are in the ,zocess of checking everything they can
possibly check. Mr. Shapiro has scheduled his wetlands
consultant to visit the site on Friday or Monday. Mr. Shapiro
knows the Town has been let down and whether it was the general
contractor's fault or the surveyor's fault or whoever's fault, it
doesn't change the unfortunate fact.
Mayor Reynolds did not understand how this could happen. Mr.
Shapiro reiterated his embarrassment that his company made this
error. Mr. Shapiro stated his company has been doing business in
the area over 20 years, with projects far more complicated than
this one. Fortunately, there has never been a problem of this
magnitude come up. Mr. Shapiro thought it actually is not
typical to survey the buildings in and then re-survey them by a
different engineer to verify the first engineer surveyed them in.
Mr. Shapiro has always required licensed surveyors to stake his
buildings and shoot the footers and reverify the wall lines on
the footers as a matter of company policy. Even though, Mr.
Shapiro did not build this project, an explanation is Mr.
Shapiro's company is in transition from a builder / developer
company to purely a developer company. Mr. Shapiro's company is
not building this project. They hired a general contractor to
build the project. Not withstanding that one step removal from
the process, Mr. Shapiro did require the general contractor to
hire a licensed surveyor to stake the building. Even had Mr.
Shapiro built it himself, Mr. Shapiro would have hired a licensed
surveyor and once those buildings were staked, Mr. Shapiro would
have relied on that licensed surveyor's staking to have been in
compliance. Mr. Shapiro did not want to sound like he had a long
list of excuses.
4
Mr. Shapiro noted tie
differently and what
is not going to fig:
has a much longer list of what he would do
he intends to do in the future. But, that
the current problem.
Councilor NottinghELM mentioned the code and requested Town
Attorney John Dunn explained the implications this problem has
and compliance with this code. Attorney Dunn stated the section
of the code requires, before the project moves beyond the
foundation stage, an ILC be prepared to verify the location of
the building, among other things and, there be no further
inspections beyond that. Apart from the issues of how the error
happened, there is a concern on the part of the council that the
error was not caught at that stage. It seems, to the council,
there is a violation of that section of the code. Mr. Shapiro
agreed. Mr. Shapiro questioned why that was not done. Mr.
Shapiro was told there were numerous discussions about the ILC
certificate but, all the discussions were around the completion
of framing. Mr. Shapiro does not have an explanation of how this
got overlooked. Mr. Shapiro reiterated he always intended the
buildings to be within the envelopes. They were pre-sold on the
basis that they were 5' farther back. Mr. Shapiro would have
preferred it would have been caught and that they be relocated to
the right location when the cost to have done that would have
been manageable. This is not a small problem and Mr. Shapiro is
viewing this as a crisis. Councilor Nottingham added it is not a
small problem with Council as they have an Ordinance that Council
is charged to uphold and if they ignore the Ordinance the
precedent that that. sets is something that they have to ethically
deal within themselves. Mr. Shapiro's position is not to say the
Town made a mistake in supplying inspections beyond that
requirement because, Mr. Shapiro is not trying to hold the Town
responsible. Mr. Shapiro is asking the Town to offer relief that
is within power. Mr. Shapiro noted that offering him relief has
nothing to do with the fact that that requirement was not
enforced by the building department and Mr. Shapiro is not aware
of why it wasn't enforced. As Mr. Shapiro continued to get
inspections and it wasn't requested or required and no one said,
hey, you have to stop, Mr. Shapiro kind of slid through the
cracks.
Councilor Hines asked how was it caught last Tuesday. Mr.
Shapiro was under the impression they needed to supply an ILC,
certificate at completion of framing. Because the completion of
framing is very similar in timing to the preparation of a
condominium map, Mr. Shapiro hired Intermountain Engineering to
prepare the ILC as the first step in preparing the condominium
map. A staff person from Intermountain Engineering discovered
the error.
Mayor Reynolds asked if they had discussed any modifications to
help the situation. Mr. Shapiro has contemplated if it is
economically feasible to tear down building D, but the
construction is so far along on buildings B and C that it is
beyond even thinking of demolition. Mr. Shapiro thought, due to
the error, there needs to be some redesign on grading. It is
going to be very financially painful to deal with this even if
Mr. Shapiro gets relief.
Councilor Benson asked how many units in each building. Mr.
Shapiro answered 8 each in buildings B, C, and D.
Mayor Reynolds asked if the 2' overhang could be removed. Mr.
Shapiro noted the overhang is approximately 15' up in the air and
does not really have an impact. Mr. Shapiro has discussed the
decks on the ground and thought of possibly eliminating them and
putting a small foot stool type step at the door with
landscaping.
Councilor Hines asked how far along the buildings are. Mr.
Shapiro responded building B is under roof and in drywall.
5
Building C is ready for the roof and Building D you can stand on
the second floor deck.
Mr. Shapiro is asking for 10015 relief. If the town feels that is
not appropriate, Mr. Shapiro is open to what the town will give
him. Mr. Shapiro is going on the premise because, they don't
infringe on the statutory set backs . because the buildings
don't infringe on the worst case lines, Mr. Shapiro is asking for
relief for all three buildings. If Council extends the envelopes
to make them legal, the decks would comply as proposed- Mr.
Shapiro added he would be happy to take them out.
Mayor Reynolds thought it would be very helpful for Council to
have an on-site look at this thing. Council concurred. Mr.
Shapiro would be happy to be there for the tour.
Violation and penalty of violation of the code were discussed.
Councilor Nottingham noted the town needs to make sure that we
are doing the job correctly, too. Mr. Shapiro did not think the
fact that the ILC requirement was not complied with is solely Mr.
Shapirola problem, as much as a mutual problem. Because, the
general contractor called for inspections and the inspections
were given and they are signed inspections and they kept coming
and they were forth coming. And, Mr. Shapiro wished he would
have been in compliance because he would have known they should
be stopping. But, the fact that the inspections kept coming and
kept being signed off, that didn't help the situation. That is a
fact, there are signed inspections, after the foundation, for all
kinds of inspections.

"4.
Town Manager Jame: noted the Town has received a petition for
annexation.
Town Attorney Dunn informed there is a commitment for title
insurance with respect to the Grace White tract, which is one of
the two tracts involved in this annexation. According to the
title commitment, the land covered by this annexation petition is
owned by Grace Jenkins White, Edward F. Rogers, Peter John
Jouflas, Michael Tames Jouflas, and George Gregory Jouflas. At
this time, Attorney Dunn has received a petition signed by
Gregory Jouflas who is one of the owners and an attorney in Grand
Junction representing the Jouflas family. There is also a
petition signed by Tamara Richardson as agent for Edward F.
Rogers.
Mr. Danny Brose, developer of the property . . . Colorado Pacific
Construction, thought the annexation petition that is currently
before Council was properly endorsed and signed by Tamara
Richardson, having full authority of Grace Jenkins White and Mr.
Rogers. Mr. Brose noted he has certified escrowed instructions
that also say Tamara can sign for them. However, Mr. Gregory
Jouflas has the right to sign for the rest of the Jouflas family.
Mr. Brose has contacted each one of the Jouflas's and Tamara
Richardson. All promised Mr. Brose, by Federal Express tomorrow,
he will have original signatures for all of the signing members.
Mr. Brose asked if Council could accept the documents this
evening, he will ensure the proper signatures are secured within
the next three working days.
Town Attorney Dunn mentioned the alternatives Council have are
1.) table the matter or 2.) adopt the Resolution which is
presented this evening conditioned upon receipt of the annexation
petitions as indicated by Mr. Brose.
Councilor Nottingham.noted Mr. Brose has not purchased the
property, yet. Councilor Nottingham asked if the property was
under contract pending annexation. Mr. Brose stated, no actually
they are closing in about three weeks. Councilor Nottingham
added if the closing did not take place, it may or may not be the
wish of the property owner(s) to have the property annexed. Town
Attorney Dunn star.-d this Resolution is the first step. The next
step would be a formal hearing before Council, which is
tentatively scheduled for July. At that time, the Council would
more formally find that the area is eligible for annexation, make
the determination with respect to contiguity and so forth. The
third step would be the actual adoption of,the annexation
ordinance. Of course, there is also the issue of zoning and
generally the annexation is made conditional upon the zoning
being acceptable.
Councilor Carnes asked Mr. Brose if he was going to close on the
property regardless. Mr. Brose s;-.ated that is correct.
Councilor Hines motioned to adopt hesolution No. 96-15, Series of
1996, subject to the receipt of outstanding petitions - owner
signatures and those being duly notarized. Councilor Benson
seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
New Business:
Ms. Dee Combs announced that Mr. Brose has given her the old
cabin that is on the property. Ms. Combs asked Council for
advice and proposed to move the cabin from the White property to
Swift Gulch for Chamber of Commerce Office. Ms. Combs guessed
the square footage of the cabin to be 1,700. Council's consensus
was that was a great idea and suggested Ms. Combs continue
looking into this possibility.
7
_11 zky
On another subject, Ms. Combs questioned how can Council
continued to allow the developers to develop without requesting
or requiring some kind of off setting housing how can you
continue to allow people to build here when they are saying we
are going to build and grow. You are bringing in more people
but, where are you going to put them?
Mayor Report:
Mayor Reynolds complimented all who were responsible for the
clean up of the Recreation Center.

mountain trail head, council directed Staff to get property
owners' first opinion for parking on the south side. If that is
real negative, then go back and look to the north for parking.
Also, Council directed staff to look for Forest Service support
