The meeting was called to order at 5:05pm
II. Roll Call
All Commissioners were present.
III. Additions & Amendments to the Agenda
There were not additions or amendments to the Agenda.
IV. Conflicts of Interest
Commissioner Bonidy disclosed a potential conflict with Item VI, since he designed the original
design plans for the Avon Elementary Doctor's office. The Commissioners agreed that he should
step down for that item.
Commissioner Hardy disclosed a conflict with Item VI, Master Sign Program. Her firm is currently
contracted for design services for Hoffmann real estate, same owners as Tract Q property.
Commissioner Losa disclosed a conflict with Item V, Minor Design and Development Plan. His
firm is the applicant for Item V, Minor Design and Development Plan.
V. Minor Design and Development Plan
Property Location: Tract G, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Sub.
Applicant: Pedro Campos, Zehren Associates / Owner: Town of Avon
Councilor's Fancher and Carroll were present for Item V, Minor Design and Development Plan.
Description: Pedro Campos of Zehren and Associates will present the design for improvements to
the Pedestrian Mall. This review is focused on improvements from Avon Road heading west
through the Pedestrian Mall to Nottingham Parking including sidewalks/paths, landscaping,
plazas, activity areas, and new bronze statue locations.
COMMISSIONER LOSCA RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THIS ITEM AND LEFT THE ROOM.
Discussion: Pedro Campos presented the design of the project and the underlying goals which
include creating a cohesive urban resort fabric taking design keys from the West Town Center and
other more recent improvements.
Commissioner Bonidy asked about the water feature being removed. Pedro responded that they
have not fully discounted the idea of a water feature somewhere, but there were some safety
concerns and concerns from Wyndham with the location as previously proposed. The idea will
continue to be explored through construction documents and pricing.
Commissioner Minervini asked about event tent locations in Area B of the plans. Pedro noted that
there was one opportunity on Lettuce Shed Lane (LSL) and some at the end of LSL near the
Bob's patio.
Mayor Rich Carroll mentioned the choke -cherry trees and questioned if they were in the correct
location given the programming of the space. He spoke to the water feature and the potential for
another ballot question on the Recreation Center.
Commissioner Prince commended the plans and supported the idea of moving the water feature
toward the Recreation Center. He did not feel that there should be choke -cherry trees since the
Commission has continually rejected fruit bearing trees.
Commissioner Minervini also commented on the trees in Area B and asked if there were other
varieties that could be used. Pedro explained that there were several tree varieties available that
could punctuate the space but that they should be limited to something 15'-20' tall at maturity. He
agreed to eliminate fruit bearing trees and use something evergreen or similar to the choke -cherry
without fruit.
Commissioner Struve was in full support of the project, and especially areas A, B, and C. He
recommended using the community garden idea in Area D. He also showed support for
something on the eastern wall of the Seasons building.
Commissioner Bonidy recommended moving check -mate further to the south in the middle of the
circular area of Area B. He also re -iterated his desire to include a water feature in the plan.
Commissioner Hardy was fully supportive of the plans as they have been developed. She wanted
to be sure that the lighting was adequate throughout the plan where it is needed most.
Commissioner Clancy agreed with the Roundabout 4 concept for a large identity feature. He
asked if the PZC would review the bronze pedestals, lighting, etc. as they did for the Hoffmann
applications. Matt Pielsticker said that the details would be forthcoming.
Commissioner Clancy thought that having the bronze moving is a good idea and that PZC should
re -review the details. Parking is a concern in the present form and the Town should work with
neighboring businesses to provide customer parking. He mentioned that the portal on west end of
the project should be intuitive to invite people into and through the mall. He noted the signage
plan and the lack of detail. Infrastructure for special events (i.e. water, electric) needs to be well
thought out. He also supported the garden idea per Commissioner Struve's comments.
Action: Commissioner Struve motioned to approve the Minor Design and Development
application for the pedestrian mall as follows:
Finding:
The Application meets the Development Plan review criteria outlined in §7.16.080(f),
Development Plan, Avon Municipal Code, as outlined in Matt Pielsticker's December 12, 2013
Staff Report.
With the following condition:
1. Any substantial changes to the Design Plans must be re -reviewed and approved by PZC with
a Minor Design and Development Plan application.
Commissioner Bonidy requested that a condition be added stating that Staff will continue to study
water feature and take a closer look at location of the check -mate bronze.
Commissioner Struve (Motioner) agreed with the additional conditions.
The motion was second by Commissioner Hardy. All Commissioners were in favor and the motion
passed with a 5-0 vote. Commissioner Prince had left the meeting prior to motion being made.
VI. Code Text Amendment - Public Hearing
Property Location: Public Facilities Zone District
Applicant: Jill Kovacevich, Doctors Plus, Inc.
Description: The applicant is requesting an amendment to Table 7.24-1, Table of Allowed Uses,
Avon Municipal Code. The amendment would add Medical/Dental offices and clinics as a Special
Review Use in the Public Facilities zone district.
COMMISSIONER BONIDY RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THIS ITEM AND LEFT THE ROOM.
Discussion: Jill Kovacevich presented the background of SBHC's and the reasons for moving
forward in the Avon Elementary School with opening services to outside siblings and community
members.
Commissioner Struve felt that it was a good thing, and a better set of services to patients. After
further discussion and hearing the applicant's presentation he supported this use as a SRU in
place of an outright permitted use.
Commissioner Minervini stated that students are already getting care and it is appropriate
Commissioners Hardy and Losa were in support as proposed.
The public hearing was opened and closed without any comments.
Action: Commissioner Minervini made a motion to approve Resolution 13-07 as drafted. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Struve. All were in favor and the motion passed with a 5-
0 vote.
VII. Master Sign Program
Property Location: Tract Q, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Property Address: 0082 Beaver Creek Blvd
Applicant: Monte Park, Sign Design / Owner: Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate
Description: The application is for a new Master Sign Program for the "Junction" Building, formerly
known as the Benchmark Shopping Center. The program includes 14 ground level building
mounted tenant signs, 2 upper level signs, and 3 monument signs.
COMMISSIONER HARDY RECUSED HERSELF FROM THIS ITEMA ND LEFT THE ROOM.
Discussion: Monte Park, Applicant and owners representative, presented the Hoffman's concept
for the monument signs and the introduction of branding to help tie the different properties and
buildings together. He explained that they would likely be back with similar signage concepts for
the other properties in the near future.
Commissioner Minervini asked about lighting and font opportunities for the monument tenant
panels. Monte explained the light sources (one up lit directly on logo and two downcast for
panels) and clarified that there would only be one font type for the tenant panels on the monument
signage.
Commissioner Losa liked the consistency of monument signs and the fact that the 2nd floor
signage has been reduced with the proposal.
Commissioners Bonidy and Minervini had no further comments.
Commissioner Struve noted that the logo was representative of the one used at a casino.
Action: Commissioner Bonidy motioned to approve the application as submitted. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Struve. All were in favor and the approval motion was passed with a
5-0 vote.
VIII. Consent Agenda

Project type Minor PUD Amendment
Legal description Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Address 5684 & 5678 Wildridge Road East
Prepared By Matt Pielsticker, Planning Manager
Introduction
Dominic Mauriello, the Applicant, representing John Minervini and Virginia Klyce, the
Owners, is requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment (the Application) to
modify the allowed building type for two lots, Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
(the Property). Currently, three (3) dwelling units in the form of a single-family structure and
duplex structure are permitted by right. The Application requesting the ability to develop
the Property with three (3) single-family structures, and is being processed as a Minor PUD
Amendment.
The Application was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) at their November
5, 2013 meeting; continued to November 19, 2013; continued to December 3, 2013; and
continued to January 7, 2014 in order to work further with the neighboring property owners.
Additional modifications were made to the Application (Attachment B, dated December 31,
2013) for PZC consideration.
Attached to this report is a Vicinity Map (Attachment A), the revised Application
(Attachment B), Eagle River Water and Sanitation District Comments and Applicant
Response (Attachment C), and draft Findings of Fact and Recommendations to the Town
Council (Attachment D).
Application Process 07A6.02o, AMC)
Minor PUD Amendment Process
This Application is processed under §7.16.o6o(h), Amendments to a Final PUD, AMC.
Subsection (1)(ii), sets forth criteria for a Minor Amendment, while subsection (2)(ii) sets
forth the review procedures for the same process. The Amendments to a Final PUD section
was recently adopted by the Town Council to provide clarity to review processes for
Administrative and Minor PUD amendments. The Application meets the criteria for a Minor
Amendment and is processed as such.
A ency Referrals
Pursuant to AMC §7.16.020(c)(2), Staff referred the Application to the Eagle County Planning
Department, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, and the Eagle River Fire Protection
District for Comments. Staff has received comments from the Eagle River Water and
Sanitation District (Attachment C). These comments are related to the future subdivision
process and building permit process and will be discussed during the staff analysis section.

Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision I Minor PUD Amendment - PUBLIC HEARING
Public Notification
In order to comply with the Public Hearing and pertinent noticing requirements, a mailed
notice was provided to all property owners within 300' of the property. The list of adjacent
property owners is included within the Application. Additionally, a notice was published in
the Vail Daily newspaper on Saturday, October 26t", 2013. Due to the date of the newspaper
notifications and its lack of compliance with code requirements, the PZC held a public
hearing on November 5th, but could not act on the application. The published notice also
included notice of the additional public hearing on November Sgt", 2013. Since that meeting
the PZC have conducted public hearings and continued the public hearing forward.
Public Hearings
The required public hearing requirements with PZC have been fulfilled and their
recommendation will go to Council. The Council will make the final decision on this
Application through a Resolution after holding an additional public hearing.
Proposed PUD Amendment
The Property is zoned PUD and is included in the Wildridge Subdivision. Included in the
Wildridge Subdivision and PUD Plat is a Land Use Summary table, which breaks down the
number of units for each individual lot, and also summarizes the type of construction
permitted on each property. Below (Exhibit i) is an excerpt from the Wildridge PUD, with
the pertinent Property information highlighted in yellow. The Property is entitled three (3)
units in the form of one (1) single-family structure (Lot 15) and one (1) duplex structure (Lot
16).

Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / Minor PUD Amendment - PUBLIC HEARING
In 20oo, Lot 14 was replatted by the owners of Lots 13 and 15. The lot area of Lot 14 was split
between each of the adjacent lots and its associated development rights were vacated. Lot 15
was replatted in zoos to remove the utility and drainage easement that had remained from Lot 14
when it was separated. This resulted in the current lot areas and layouts that the application is
predicated upon.
The Application (Attachment B) includes a narrative, response to the mandatory review criteria,
and preliminary site plans depicting potential lot layouts. This Application would create a new
PUD, Minervini PUD, which would create three (3) separate lots of record that each are
permitted one (1) single-family structure.
The Application proposes to keep standard Wildridge easements (ten (1o) foot front/rear yard
and seven and one-half (7.5) foot side yard) and setbacks (twenty-five (25) foot front setback and
ten (1o) foot side and rear setback), but proposes modifying other standards. The building height
is proposed to remain at thirty-five (35) feet for Lot z, but be reduced to twenty-eight (28) feet
for Lot 1 and Lot 3. The Application proposes to limit the curb cuts for driveways to two (2) for
the three (3) lots and proposed to plat non -developable areas.
Based on input received from the neighboring owners, the Applicant has decreased the
maximum building footprint to two thousand (2,000) square feet for lots 1 and 3 and four
thousand feet (4,000) for lot 2. In addition, the Application now proposes building square
footage maximums for lots 1 & 3 of four thousand (4,000) square feet of livable area.
Background of Wildridge
The original Wildridge "Specially Planned Area" (now considered a "PUD" by default) and
the accompanying Subdivision plat were established with a specific purpose and intent: to
offer a diverse range of housing types and options to serve a diverse local population. As
such, the housing types in the Wildridge PUD are diverse: single-family homes, duplexes,
triplexes, fourplexes, and other forms of multi -family structures - because the housing needs
of the local population were, are, and continue to be diverse. It was not platted as a solely
single-family home subdivision and PUD for a reason: Avon's local population is not
homogenous.
Over the years there have been amendments wherein development rights have been altered
and replatted through the PUD and Subdivision process. The most recent amendment was
for the "June Creek Corner" PUD in Block 2 of the Wildridge Subdivision, where a fourplex
lot was converted into two (2) duplex structures. Another recent example was the
"Wildridge Point PUD" in Block 4 of the Wildridge Subdivision, where two (2) duplex
properties were replatted and converted into three (3) single-family lots. This application
was approved with building footprint limitations, or de facto building envelopes, of 2,500 sq.
ft. and 3,000 sq. ft.
Another example in Wildridge was the Dry Creek PUD in Block 2, wherein a fourplex lot was
converted to three (3) single-family residences. This individual PUD amendment was also
January 7, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 13
Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / Minor PUD Amendment - PUBLIC HEARING
predicated on approval of a subdivision variance, and reduced the number of dwelling units
by one (1), and limited the maximum building square footage for each lot.
Staff Analysis
Staff supports this amendment as it would result in a reduced impact on the neighboring
properties, and allows for a flexible development pattern in the form of three (3) structures
in place of two (i). The massing is improved with more opportunity for building articulation
and the introduction of light and air between units which is ensured through the provisions
for building footprint maximums and non -developable areas. After reviewing the PUD
review criteria below, Staff finds the Application in conformance with the purpose of the
Development Code, review criteria, and there appears to be no added impact to neighboring
properties. The development pattern in this portion of Wildridge is mainly duplexes with
some sporadic single-family structures, the proposed application will help provide variety in
the building for and create a more diverse development pattern.
PUD Review Criteria
Pursuant to §7.16.o6o(e)(4), Review Criteria, AMC, the PZC shall consider a number of review
criteria when evaluating the Application. The following criteria must be considered when
forming the basis of a recommendation:
(i) The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the Town, and/or
incorporates creative site design such that it achieves the purposes of this Development
Code and represents an improvement in quality over what could have been accomplished
through strict application of the otherwise applicable district or development standards.
Such improvements in quality may include, but are not limited to: improvements in open
space provision and access; environmental protection; tree/vegetation preservation;
efficient provision of streets, roads, and other utilities and services; or increased choice of
living and housing environments.
Staff Response: The stated purposes of §7.04, Development Code, AMC, and §7.16.o6o,
PUD, AMC, includes statements regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive
Plan; regulating intensity of use; avoiding increased demands on public services and
facilities; and providing for compatibility with the surrounding area, among other
statements.
The proposed amendment does not increase demands on public services, and provides
compatible building layouts with the surrounding area. The application does not increase
the number of driveway curb cuts to three (3), which is permitted with the proposed
development pattern, and instead limits the development to two (2) cuts, which is
permitted with the current development pattern. This is a benefit to the immediate
neighborhood as there is no net increase in the number of curb cuts. In addition, the
inclusion of platted non -developable areas, additional setbacks, building footprint
limitations, lower building heights, and livable area caps ensure the benefit of increased
light and air between units is realized, thus resulting in an improved quality over what is
permitted today.

Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision I Minor PUD Amendment - PUBLIC HEARING
(ii) The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;
Staff Response: The Application does not negatively affect the public health, safety and
welfare. The inclusion of single-family structures on the Property is compatible with the
adjacent single-family and duplex residential uses.
(iii) The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of this
Development Code, and the eligibility criteria outlined in §7.i6.o6o(b);
Staff Response: The proposed PUD amendment is part of an established PUD, and is
therefore not subject to the eligibility criteria or Public Benefit requirements outlined in
§7.16.o6o(b). Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan is required and analysis is
provided below.
The Comprehensive Plan includes this property within District 24: Wildridge Residential
District. The planning principals specific to this property include the following:
• Redesign the intersection of Metcalf and Nottingham Roads, and implement the other
recommendations for District 4 to enhance the entry to Wildridge and provide more
direct access from the Town Center to Wildridge.
• Construct bicycle lanes along Metcalf and Wildridge Roads.
• Promote a trail system through open space areas in Wildridge to provide alternatives
to the roadways for pedestrian circulation and greater connection to the surrounding
open space.
• Preserve and enhance the existing open space trails and explore the possibility of
developing additional parcels into pocket parks.
• Acquire and maintain as public open space the U.S. Forest Service -owned parcel
adjacent to Wildridge that includes Beaver Creek Point.
• Add an alternative or second access route to Wildridge (perhaps forest service road
during the spring and summer).
• Identify and delineate all open space parcels and public trails.
• Site buildings of varying sizes along the street to maximize sun exposure, protect
views, be compatible with existing surrounding development, and break up building
bulk.
Clearly, the majority of the planning principles for the Wildridge District deal more with
enhancing open space and non -motorized access options. Except for the last planning
principle, these do not relate to the Application. Regarding the last principle, this PUD
Amendment allows for greater flexibility in building sizes, breaks up the building bulk and
January 7, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 15
Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision I Minor PUD Amendment - PUBLIC HEARING
has the potential to maximize sun exposure over what could be experienced with the
underlying and existing zoning.
(iv) Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electric, police
and fire protection, and sewage and waste disposal, as applicable) will be available to
serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing
development;
Staff Response: The PUD amendment has no incremental impact on public facilities or
services; therefore, the existing services can adequately serve the property. Eagle River
Water and Sanitation District has provided comments on the Application including:
concerns regarding the allowed uses within the non -developable areas; the need for
drainage and utility easements; and the verification of water taps and sewer service tie-
ins. The applicant has responded (Attachment C) that these comments would best be
addressed during the platting and building permit portions of this project. The Applicant
did agree that the non -developable areas will allow for utilities and access to those
utilities and that all new lot line easements will be utility and drainage easements. Staff
agrees with the Applicant that these items should be addressed during the platting
process and does believe the other comments are best addressed prior to the issuance of
a building permit as is required by Town Code.
(v) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in
significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise,
storm water management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially
mitigated;
Staff Response: No adverse impacts upon the natural environment, wildlife, vegetation,
air, or stormwater management are anticipated.
(vi) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in
significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; and
Staff Response: As discussed herein, the approval of the PUD amendment would not
result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity. As discussed by
the applicant, the existing development pattern could see "coast to coast" development
on each of the subject lots. The proposed PUD Amendment includes additional setbacks,
easements, and non -developable areas which provide for undevelopable areas resulting
in a development pattern of three (3) separate buildings which could result in reduced
impacts to other properties in the area, by providing additional building separation. In
addition, the reduced building height for Lots 1 and 3 to twenty-eight (28) feet will result
in a direct reduced impact on adjacent properties particularly those to the north. The
commitment to building footprint maximums and square footage has the potential to
reduce impacts on adjacent properties by providing assurances to those properties of the
maximum size potential of structures on these lots.

Lots 15 & 16, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / Minor PUD Amendment - PUBLIC HEARING
(vii) Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or potential
future uses on other properties in the vicinity of the subject tract.
Staff Response: As proposed, the Application will either increase the compatibility with
uses or potential future uses on other properties in the vicinity, or will result in no change
to uses as currently exist.
Staff Recommendation
PZC should conduct a public hearing, consider additional public comments, and approve or

Re: Minervini PUD Amendment Resubmitta
Dear Matt:
Attached with this cover letter is an updated submittal for the Minervini Minor PUD
Amendment. The updated submittal reflects changes made to the application based on
comments from the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as input we have received from
the neighbors.
Over the course of the two previous hearings and after meeting with the neighbors in
December, the application has been updated with the following limitations:
• Lot 1 is limited to a 3,000 sq. ft. building footprint, 4,000 sq. ft. of livable floor area,
28' height limitation, and a nondevelopment zone of approximately 0.061 acres;
• Lot 2 (the existing home) is limited to a 4,000 sq. ft. building footprint, 28' height
limitation, and a nondevelopment zone of approximately 0.282 acres; and
Lot 3 is limited to a 2,000 sq. ft. building footprint, 4,000 sq. ft. of livable floor area,
28' height limitation, and a nondevelopment zone of approximately 0.027 acres.
The applicant believes that the revised proposal addresses the primary concerns of the
neighbors and results in a beneficial development patterns for the property. The precedent
for this type of application was previously set by the Town Council with its recent amendments
to the Development Code and recent allowing for this type of application to be considered.
The attributes and circumstances of these properties are unique given the platting history, the
size of the existing lots, the topography of the properties, and development pattern in the
vicinity. The applicant believes the proposal is reasonable and appropriate.
Sincerely,
Dominic F. Mauriello, AICP

A. INTRODUCTION
The applicants, John Minervini and Virginia Klyce, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, are
requesting a Minor PUD Amendment for Lots 15 (5684 Wildridge Road East) and 16 (5678
Wildridge Road East), Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision. The Wildridge PUD currently in effect,
identifies Lot 15 as one single-family lot and Lot 16 as one duplex lot, allowing for a total of 3
dwelling units, in the form of I single-family and I duplex on the property (see background for
more detail in this regard). The applicant is requesting to create 3 lots, each single-family lots,
maintaining the ability to construct a total of 3 dwelling units on the property as single-family
homes. Because the lots are located within the Wildridge PUD, a minor amendment to the
PUD is required. If approved, a minor subdivision application will be submitted for approval (the
development code was recently amended allow minor subdivisions to be approved
administratively), which will implement the PUD amendment. The lot lines, lot sizes, and other
provisions typical to a subdivision are shown within this application. Below is a conceptual
design of the lot layout and home footprint locations:

The intent is to create the ability to construct two small single-family residences in addition to
the existing home. There is no change in allowable density for the property thus allowing it to
be classified as a minor PUD amendment. The goal is to construct smaller, more livable units
with the living areas primarily on the main floor. This is a product lacking in the Town of Avon
and within the Wildridge neighborhood. Steep slopes and duplex development tend to unite to
create the need for more vertical units, which do not necessarily appeal to a buyer looking to
3

downsize and eliminate stairs as they age. To ensure this type of more compact development,
the applicant is proposing a building footprint limitation on all of the lots, a limit on residential
square footage for Lots I and 3, and a height limitation on Lots I and 3. No similar restrictions
exist on these lots today and will therefore serve as a benefit to the neighboring properties and
have less impacts than what might be developed under the current development standards.
Finally, the total number of curb cuts for the three lots will remain at only two, thus eliminating
any concerns with additional traffic conflicts generated by providing additional access points to
Wildridge Road. This will also allow for a design which will move the existing curb cut at 5684
Wildridge Road, creating an area to landscape and berm, thus screening the garage doors from
the street.
The Minervini Family intends to live in one of the new homes as they become empty -nesters.
They would like to downsize and ensure that the new home allows them to age in place rather
than leave the community to pursue a type and size of housing product that is not common in
the Town of Avon. A home with a small footprint and the majority of living space on the main
floor will allow them to remain in Wildridge for years to come. Their intent is to sell the
existing home and the third proposed home.

B. BACKGROUND
The Town of Avon was incorporated in 1978 and Benchmark Properties created the Wildridge
and Wildwood Subdivisions shortly thereafter. On this original plat, Lot 15 and Lot 16 were
each identified as permitted "2 units each." Subsequently, the Wildridge Subdivision was
completely replatted in 1981. Lots 15 and 16 remained in the same configuration, but on the
1981 plat, Lot 15 was identified as permitted only" I unit" while Lot 16 was still permitted 2
units.
Lot 15 was platted as 0.75 acres/32,670 sq. ft., while Lot 16 was platted as 0.42 acres / 18,295
sq. ft., as indicated on a portion of the 1981 plat provided below:
In 2000, Lot 14 was replatted by the then -owners of Lots 13 and 15 and the lot area of Lot 14
was split between the two properties. This replat was done as part of a PUD amendment which
vacated Lot 14 and the development rights associated with Lot 14, while according to the
application, the "Development rights of Lots 13 and 15 were to remain unchanged." Lot 14 was
originally permitted 2 units. It is unclear if at the time of this approval, it was understood by the
Town and the applicant that Lot 15 was permitted only I unit. The staff memorandum for the
adopting ordinance clearly states that Lot 15 would be still be permitted 2 units as indicated on
the memo from the file provided on the following page, a statement that we know now was in
error:

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Thru: Bill Efting, Town Manager
From: George H. Harrison, Planner
Date: March 18,1999
Re: First Reading of Ordinance 99-07, A Ordinance Amending the Wildridge
Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Lots 13, 14, and 15, Bloch 4,
Wildridge Subdivision, Town Of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado.
Summ
t 14 was recently purchased jointly by the owners of Lots 13 and 15. They intend to
the Wildridge PUD in order to split Lot 14 and incorporate the adjoining halves into
current properties. Lot 14's development rights would be vacated leaving both Lots 13
.5's two -unit designation unchanged.
Discussion:
The PUD amendment proposes only one deviation from the existing Wildridge PUD
development standards to allow a partially constructed keystone block retaining wall on Lot
13 to exceed 4 feet in height within the front yard setback. This wall Js on the uphill side of the
driveway retaining the larger hillside above.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Town Council pass Ordinance 99-07, amending the Wildridge
PUD for Lots 13, 14, and 15, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision,
Alternatives:
1. Approve
2. Approve with conditions
3. Deny the applications in whole or in part
Proposed Motion:
"I move to approve on first reading Ordinance No. 99-07, approving an amendment to the
Wildridge PUD for Lots 13, 14, and 15, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, Town of Avon,
Eagle County, Colorado."

The plat below shows how Lot 14 was divided and added into the lot area of Lot 13 and 15.
This increased the size of Lot 15 to 1.085 acres while its designation on the 1981 plat was for
only 0.75 acres.

To summarize the history of these properties, Lot 16 was always permitted 2 dwelling units in
the form of a duplex. Lot 15 was originally a smaller lot, and permitted only I dwelling unit.
However, there was a Lot 14 which was originally permitted 2 dwelling units in the form of a
duplex, half of which was incorporated into Lot 15. So one could conclude that from
the 1981 plat of the Wildridge Subdivision, that the combined area of
subject property would have supported 4 dwelling units. From the originally
intended 4 dwelling units, the Minervini Family wants to build only 3
dwelling units. The proposed lot layout is provided below:

Dry Creek PUD allowed for Lot 44 which was permitted 4 units to be re -platted into 3 single-
family lots.
Most recently, the Wildridge Point Subdivision and PUD Amendment was approved by the Town
of Avon in 2013. Wildridge Point allowed for Lots 33 and 34, each duplex lots, to be replatted
as 3 single-family lots.
While these examples were processed in different ways (PUD within a PUD, amendment to a
PUD, etc.) the recently adopted Avon Development Code provides a clear process for minor
amendments to an existing PUD, simplifying the approval process for applications such as these.

There are no changes to any other standards of the Wildridge PUD, with setbacks remaining as
outlined on the plat. Front setbacks are 25 ft. while side and rear setbacks are 10 ft. The
maximum height limitation is 35 ft. However, the applicant is proposing the following limitations
to Lots 1, 2, and 3:
Height: 35 ft. on Lot 2 , and 28 ft. on Lot I and Lot 3
Building Footprint: 3,000 sq. ft. on Lot 1, 4,000 sq. ft. on Lot 2, and 2,000 sq. ft. on Lot 3
Curb Cuts/Access: No more than 2 curb cuts to Wildridge Road East for the entirety of
Lots 1, 2, and 3.
Non -Development Zone: proposed on all lots (to be shown on the plat). Lot I will
indicate a non -development easement of approximately 0.061 acres. Lot 2 will indicate
a non -development easement of approximately 0.282 acres. Finally, Lot 3 will indicate a
non -development easement of approximately 0.027 acres.
Limitation on Residential Square Footage: No more than 4,000 sq. ft. of livable area on
Lots I and 3, exclusive of garage area, crawl space, or attic space.

E. PROPOSED LOT LAYOUT & DEVELOPMENT COMPARISONS
Below is the proposed lot layout and development scenario reflecting the proposed limitations
as well as a development scenario that could be implemented on the property today with
existing PUD development standards.
With the proposed lot sizes, no development zones, and building footprint restrictions, the
maximum building footprint of the entire property is limited to 9,000 sq. ft. Today, the home on
Lot 15 could be redeveloped or expanded and a new duplex could be developed on Lot 16.
Based on the configuration and setbacks on Lot 16, it could be developed with a 9,300 sq. ft.
building footprint (4,650 sq. ft. per unit) and at three -stories that would equal 27,900 sq. ft. of
total floor area including garage area for two units. A more reasonably developed duplex on Lot
16 might be a 7,000 sq. ft. footprint and with a total floor area including garages of 12,000 sq. ft.
(6,000 sq. ft. per unit). Given the large size of Lot 15 after the 2000 replat, Lot 15 could
support a building footprint of 18,000 sq. ft. or 36,000 sq. ft. of total floor area. Such home
might not be reasonable given the market. Using the Farr residence as a guide, this lot might be
more reasonably developed with a 9,000 sq. ft. footprint and total floor area of 14,000 sq. ft.
including garage area.
As proposed the total footprint area would be limited to 9,000 sq. ft. versus
16,000 sq. ft. and the total floor area would likely be limited to 14,000 sq. ft
in three homes versus 26,000 sq. ft. in three units.

F. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
Section 7.16.060.4 establishes the criteria for review of a PUD amendment. It is important to
note that these are the same criteria as provided for the establishment of a new PUD, so many
are not applicable to an amendment of this limited magnitude. Section 7.16.060.4 states:
Review Criteria. The PZC and Town Council shall consider the following criteria as the basis for a
recommendation or decision to rezone a property to PUD Overlay, and approve a preliminary PUD
plan, or process a PUD amendment:
(i) The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the
Town, and/or incorporates creative site design such that it achieves the
purposes of this Development Code and represents an improvement in quality
over what could have been accomplished through strict application of the
otherwise applicable district or development standards. Such improvements in
quality may include, but are not limited to: improvements in open space
provision and access; environmental protection; tree/vegetation preservation;
efficient provision of streets, roads, and other utilities and services; or
increased choice of living and housing environments.
Applicant Response: The proposed amendment to the Wildridge PUD to allow for 3
single family lots allows for a creative site design that is an improvement over the existing
lot configuration. The proposal creates building footprint limitations (which do not exist
today) which allows for greater open space and environmental protection. These footprint
limitations, along with a proposed height limitation, create an increase in choice of living and
housing environments. These proposed units are smaller, livable units, intended to be a
more accessible choice for potential buyers.
(ii) The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general
welfare;
Applicant Response: The proposal includes the limitation of 2 curb cuts for the 3
proposed lots as would exist today, minimizing the effects to the traffic circulation on
Wildridge Road. This also allows for additional landscaping and berming at the existing curb
cut, screening the garage doors from direct public view. Because there is no increase in the
number of proposed dwelling units, there is no increase in the estimated number of trips
generated by the project. As a result, the proposal promotes the public health, safety, and
welfare.
(iii)The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the
purposes of this Development Code, and the eligibility criteria outlined in
§7.16.060(b),-

The Comprehensive Plan defines "Residential -Lot Density" as follows:
Areas designated for residential low density are intended to provide sites for single-family, duplex, and
multi -family dwellings at a density no greater than 7.5 dwelling units per acre.
The proposal complies with the density as recommended by the Comprehensive Plan. The
purpose of the Development Code is provided in Section 7.04.030 Purposes of the Avon
Development Code:
The Development Code is intended to promote and achieve the following goals and purposes for the
Avon community, including the residents, property owners, business owners and visitors:
(a) Divide the Town into zones, restricting and requiring therein the location, erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration and use of buildings, structures and land for trade, industry, residence and
other specified uses; regulate the intensity of the use of lot areas; regulate and determine the area of
open spaces surrounding such buildings; establish building lines and locations of buildings designed for
specified industrial, commercial, residential and other uses within such areas; establish standards to
which buildings or structures shall conform; establish standards for use of areas adjoining such
buildings or structures;
(b) Implement the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan and other applicable planning
documents of the Town;
(c) Comply with the purposes stated in state and federal regulations which authorize the regulations in
this Development Code;
(d) Avoid undue traffic congestion and degradation of the level of service provided by streets and
roadways, promote effective and economical mass transportation and enhance effective, attractive and
economical pedestrian opportunities;
(e) Promote adequate light, air, landscaping and open space and avoid undue concentration or sprawl
of population;
15
Attachment B
(f) Provide a planned and orderly use of land, protection of the environment and preservation of
viability, all to conserve the value of the investments of the people of the Avon community and
encourage a high quality of life and the most appropriate use of land throughout the municipality,
(g) Prevent the inefficient use of land; avoid increased demands on public services and facilities which
exceed capacity or degrade the level of service for existing residents; provide for phased development
of government services and facilities which maximizes efficiency and optimizes costs to taxpayers and
users; and promote sufficient, economical and high-quality provision of all public services and public
facilities, including but not limited to water, sewage, schools, libraries, police, parks, recreation, open
space and medical facilities;
(h) Minimize the risk of damage and injury to people, structures and public infrastructure created by
wild fire, avalanche, unstable slopes, rock fall, mudslides, flood danger and other natural hazards;
(i) Achieve or exceed federal clean air standards;
(j) Sustain water sources by maintaining the natural watershed, preventing accelerated erosion,
reducing runoff and consequent sedimentation, eliminating pollutants introduced directly into streams
and enhancing public access to recreational water sources;
(k) Maintain the natural scenic beauty of the Eagle River Valley in order to preserve areas of historical
and archaeological importance, provide for adequate open spaces, preserve scenic views, provide
recreational opportunities, sustain the tourist -based economy and preserve property values;
(1) Promote architectural design which is compatible, functional, practical and complimentary to Avon's
sub -alpine environment,
(m) Achieve innovation and advancement in design of the built environment to improve efficiency,
reduce energy consumption, reduce emission of pollutants, reduce consumption of non-renewable
natural resources and attain sustainability;
(n) Achieve a diverse range of attainable housing which meets the housing needs created by jobs in the
Town, provides a range of housing types and price points to serve a complete range of life stages and
promotes a balanced, diverse and stable full time residential community which is balanced with the
visitor economy,
(o) Promote quality real estate investments which conserve property values by disclosing risks, taxes
and fees; by incorporating practical and comprehensible legal arrangements; and by promoting
accuracy in investment expectations; and
(p) Promote the health, safety and welfare of the Avon community.
As demonstrated within this document, the proposal is consistent with and in substantial
compliance with the purpose of the Development Code by not increasing the number of
dwelling units, providing for greater open space and reducing building footprints within an
existing subdivision.
The eligibility criteria for a PUD are outlined in Section 7.16.060(b) and state the following:
(1) Property Eligible. All properties within the Town of Avon are eligible to apply for PUD
approval.
(2) Consistency with Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development shall be consistent with
the Avon Comprehensive Plan.
(3) Consistent with PUD Intent. The proposed development shall be consistent with the intent
and spirit of the PUD purpose statement in §7.16.060(a).
(4) Compatibility with Existing Uses. The proposed development shall not impede the continued
use or development of surrounding properties for uses that are permitted in the Development
Code or planned for in the Avon Comprehensive Plan.
16
Attachment B
(S) Public Benefit. A recognizable and material benefit will be realized by both the future
residents and the Town as a whole through the establishment of a PUD, where such benefit
would otherwise be infeasible or unlikely.
(6) Preservation of Site Features. Long-term conservation of natural, historical, architectural, or
other significant features or open space will be achieved, where such features would otherwise
be destroyed or degraded by development as permitted by the underlying zoning district.
(7) Sufficient Land Area for Proposed Uses. Sufficient land area has been provided to comply
with all applicable regulations of the Development Code, to adequately serve the needs of all
permitted uses in the PUD projects, and to ensure compatibility between uses and the
surrounding neighborhood.
As demonstrated within this document, the proposal is consistent with the eligibility criteria
for a PUD. The proposal is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan and compatible
with existing uses, which are of a similar density as the proposal. There is a demonstrated
public benefit by providing limitations on building footprints, height, and the number of curb
cuts, where no such limitation exists today. Areas of steeper slopes are preserved, and the
appearance and amount of open space is increased.
(iv)Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas,
electric, police and fire protection, and sewage and waste disposal, as
applicable) will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining
adequate levels of service to existing development;
Applicant Response: Because there is no increase in density for the proposed project,
all facilities and services are available and adequate to serve the development.
(v) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in
significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air,
water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such
impacts will be substantially mitigated;
Applicant Response: The proposal is entirely located within a previously platted
subdivision, with no increase in the allowable density, and as a result will not have any
additional adverse impacts on the above -reference criteria.
(vi)Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in
significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject
tract; and
Applicant Response: As there is no increase in allowable density for the properties,
there is no increase to impacts upon other property in the vicinity. The proposal is
consistent with the allowable density for surrounding properties and will be smaller in scale
than many of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The following photos provide some
idea of the character of the existing homes in the vicinity:

Adjacent homes (Lots 21 and 20) behind Lot 15,

from Coyote Ridge
Duplex on Lot 77, located across Wildridge Road East
Home on Lot 17, adjacent to Lot 16
The character of the neighborhood, while entirely residential, has homes that were built in
different real estate boom and bust cycles. Some homes, generally built in the 1990s and
early 2000s are large single-family or duplex units that stretch from lot line to lot line.
Homes constructed earlier are smaller, with minimal footprints and significant development
potential remaining. With the restrictions proposed by the Minervini Family on building
footprints, height, residential square footage, and curb cuts, the neighbors in the vicinity are
guaranteed smaller homes with less impact than what is currently allowed on the property.
(vii)Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or
potential future uses on other properties in the vicinity of the subject tract.
Applicant Response: While the neighborhood is generally developed with a mix of
single-family homes and duplexes, the majority of the lots in the vicinity are allowed a
minimum of 2 units. The following analysis provides a map which indicates the allowable
land use for properties in the general vicinity. In addition to the map, an analysis has been
provided which indicates the lot size for each property, the number of units allowed, and the
density (dwelling units/acre) allowed for each lot. This analysis indicates that the proposal is
consistent with the allowable development for properties in the neighborhood.

As proposed, the allowable density for each lot is as follows:
QLot 1: 1 du / .351 acres = 2.8 du/acre
QLot 2: 1 du / .804 acres = 1.2 du/acre
QLot 3: 1 du / .35 acres = 2.9 du/acre
QTotal: 3 du / 1.505 acres = 1.99 du/acre (no change)
As indicated in the analysis, this is consistent with the allowable density for properties in the

Hi Jared:
Thank you for forwarding that. Here is my response:
• Once we prepare the final plat, we can ensure that the nondevelopment areas
allow for utilities and access to utilities;
• On the final plat, we will ensure that the easements are in fact drainage and
utility easements;
• We understand that there might not be existing taps/service to Lots 1 and 3;
and
• We understand that sewer service connections will have to tie into the existing
system and that the nondevelopment areas will need to allow for this utility
connection.
Thanks,

Jared,
Here are the ERWSD comments.
• SS MH CS1943-351MH0380 appears to be located within the proposed Lot 2 Non
Development Easement. Ensure access/maintenance/easement requirements.
• New side lot easements are called out as 'drainage easements' not 'drainage and utility
easements' as previously contemplated in the Wildridge Subdivision. If the 'utility' portion
of the easement is to be vacated we may need formal vacation.
• Water tap/service stub outs will probably not be available for Lots 1 and 3; new taps will
need to be connected at the water main in Wildridge Road East.
• Verify that the proposed Lot 1 and Lot 3 will have adequate sewer service. Sewer services
to these lots may require crossing the Lot 2 non -development easement for tie-in to the system.
Thanks,
Tug g Y-�-,

Hello,
Attached is a request for referral comments on a PUD Amendment application being processed by
the Town of Avon. The request is to amend the Wildridge PUD zoning for 2 lots to modify their
allowed uses to permit 3 single family structures. The application will be accompanied by a
subdivision application to create a new lot and there is no net gain or loss in dwelling units. Please
do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
Regards,
AVON PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FINDINGS OF FACT, RECORD OF DECISION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS Y O N
I Ii l n It .. 1i ii
CONCERNING THE MINOR
PUD AMENDMENT FOR
LOTS 15 & 16, BLOCK 4, WILDRIDGE SUBDIVISION
The following findings of fact and recommendations are made in accordance with Avon
Municipal Code ("AMC") §7.16.060(h), §7.16.020(g), & §7.16.060(e)(4):
1. Application Submitted. A Minor PUD Amendment Application ("the Application"),
was submitted to the Community Development Department of the Town of Avon (the
"Town") on October 7, 2013 by Dominic Mauriello (the "Applicant").
2. Agency Referrals. On October 15, 2013, pursuant to AMC §7.16.020(c)(2), Staff
referred the Application to outside review agencies, including the following: Eagle
County Planning, Eagle River Water & Sanitation District, and Eagle River Fire
Protection District. Comments were received from the Eagle River Water & Sanitation
District and have been included in the recorded record of the Application.
3. Notice of Public Hearing. Pursuant to AMC §7.16.020(d), a notice of public hearing
was published in The Vail Daily and a mailed notice was sent to all property owners
within 300' of the properties.
4. Staff Report to Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC). Jared Barnes, Planner II,
submitted Staff reports to the PZC dated November 1, 2013, and November 13, 2013.
5. Public Hearing before the PZC. On November 5, 2013, November 19, 2013,
December 3, 2013, and January 7, 2014 the PZC held public hearings on the Application,
and considered Staffs analysis, referral comments from the Eagle River Water &
Sanitation District, and public comments received from neighboring property owners.
6. Compliance with Review Criteria. The PZC makes the following findings in regard to
compliance with the applicable review criteria for a Minor PUD Amendment
(§7.16.060(e)(4)) as the basis for this recommendation to Town Council:
PZC FINDINGS:
(1) The Application was processed in accordance with §7.16.060(h), Amendment to a
Final PUD, which allowed the application to be processed as a minor amendment
pursuant to §7.16.060(h)(1)(ii), Minor Amendment, and utilized the review criteria set
forth in §7.16.060(e)(4), Preliminary PUD Review Criteria; and,
FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATION
LOTS 15 & 16, BLOCK 4, WILRIDGE SUBDIVISION — MINERVINI MINOR PUD AMENDMENT
Page 1 of 2
(2) The Application is in substantial compliance with §7.16.060(e)(4), Preliminary PUD
Review Criteria, AMC; and,
(3) The Application is not likely to result in adverse impacts upon the natural
environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and
vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated with building footprint
maximums; and,
(4) Approval of the Application would reduce building massing compared to the existing
underlying zoning, allowing for an improvement in quality over what could have
been accomplished through the existing zoning designations; and,
(5) Building impacts on-site are reduced by adding restrictions that are currently not in
effect including: building footprint restrictions of 3,000 sq. ft. for proposed Lot 1,
4,000 sq. ft. for Lot 2, and 2,000 sq. ft. for Lot 3; additionally, livable square footage
caps (not including garage space) of 4,000 sq. ft. for proposed Lots 1 & 3; reduced
building height of twenty eight feet (28') for Lots 1 and 3; and,
(6) The Application is in conformance
Comprehensive Plan, including "siting
maximize sun exposure, protect views,
and break up building bulk."
PZC RECOMMENDATION:
with policy recommendations in the Avon
buildings of varying sizes along the street to
be compatible with surrounding development,
The PZC recommends that Town Council APPROVE the Minor PUD Amendment Application
(Revisions dated December 31, 2013) with the following conditions:
(1) The Subdivision Plat for the Minervini PUD shall ensure that the non -developable areas
include allowances for utilities as well as their access and maintenance.
(2) The Subdivision Plat for the Minervini PUD shall ensure that all lot line easements are
Utility and Drainage easements, with the exception of the front lot line easement which
shall be a Slope Maintenance, Utility, Drainage, and Snow Storage Easement.
THESE FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE HEREBY
APPROVED:
