Address 38359 Hwy 6 & 24
Prepared By Brian Garner, Town Planner
Introduction
Beaver Creek Resort, the Applicant and Property Owner, is requesting a Temporary Use Permit
(TMP) (the Application) to allow employee parking on Lot 1, Eagle River at Avon Subdivision
(the Property) for the duration of ski season. Because the request is for a duration exceeding
30 days, the application is being processed as a Temporary Use Permit with a public hearing as
required by the Avon Development Code. Attached to this report are a parking plan and review
responses from Avon Police and Eagle River Fire Protection District.
Process
Temporary Use Permit Process
This application is processed under §7.24.080(c), Temporary Uses and Structures Review
Procedures, AMC. The application, as submitted, meets the criteria for a Temporary Use Permit.
The approval process requires a public hearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission
(PZC).
Public Notification
In compliance with the Public Hearing and noticing requirements, a mailed notice was provided
to all property owners within 300’ of the property. Additionally, a notice was published in the
Vail Daily newspaper on December 26, 2014.
Public Hearings
The January 6, 2015 meeting completes the public hearing requirements with the PZC and the
decision rests with the PZC.
Proposed Temporary Use
The Property is zoned PUD (Red House) and is currently undeveloped. The PUD zoning entitles
the property for residential townhouse development. The property owner is requesting to use
the property for employee parking for the duration of the 2014-15 ski season.
Staff Analysis
The proposal to allow temporary employee parking at the Red House property is reasonable
given the location, access and proximity to Beaver Creek Resort. The parking plan provides
sufficient mitigation to ensure the integrity of the site without placing an undue burden on the
community as better delineated in the following Temporary Use Permit Review Criteria and
findings.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – Red House Parking Temporary Use Permit 2
Temporary Use Permit Review Criteria
Pursuant to §7.24.080(h), Review Criteria, AMC, the PZC shall consider the following criteria
when forming the basis of a recommendation:
(1) The temporary use or structure shall not cause unreasonable negative impacts to
properties, residents, business or public uses in the vicinity, which cannot be mitigated through
the imposition of conditions on such temporary use or structure. Such negative impacts to
consider include, but are not limited to: visual, noise, vibration, trash, hours of operation, traffic
congestion, parking, safety, soil and vegetation disturbance, natural resource impacts and
reasonable expectations of enjoyment of property based upon zone district designations and
community planning documents;
Staff Response: The site is isolated from other permanent uses in the vicinity thereby
mitigating potentially negative impacts including noise, vibration and congestion to adjacent
property. The site is located next to a busy intersection and ingress/egress is being restricted to
Hwy. 6 to mitigate congestion and safety concerns.
(2) Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas, electricity, police
and fire protection, roads and transportation, as applicable) will be available to serve the
proposed temporary use or structure while maintaining adequate levels of service for existing
development;
Staff Response: The temporary use for parking will not require utilities. Beaver Creek resort will
continue routine maintenance including snow clearing and removal.
(3) The temporary use shall comply with all applicable general and specific regulations of this
Section, other Town ordinances, and state and federal law unless otherwise expressly stated;
Staff Response: The applicant has an erosion control plan to ensure proper drainage and
stability of the site.
(4) The applicant has demonstrated that he or she possesses the requisite skills and experience
to ensure that the particular activity will be conducted in a safe and orderly manner;
Staff Response: Beaver Creek Resorts will continue to manage and maintain the property.
(5) The temporary use or structure is not of a nature that will become impractical to cease or
remove over time;
Staff Response: The parking is needed to provide sufficient employee parking to serve the ski
season and will not be needed once the season ends.
(6) Adequate plans or sureties are proposed to guarantee restoration of the property after the
temporary use or structure ceases;
Staff Response: The property is mostly unimproved but does contain sufficient surfacing to
ensure the integrity of the site. No further assurances are needed by the Town.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – Red House Parking Temporary Use Permit 3
(7) All temporary signs associated with the temporary use or structure shall be properly
permitted pursuant to Chapter 15.28, Sign Code, and removed when the activity ends or permit
expires, whichever occurs first;
Staff Response: The applicant is not proposing any signage for the property or use.
(8) The temporary use or structure shall not violate any applicable conditions of approval that
apply to a principal use on the site;
Staff Response: The site is currently undeveloped so the temporary use of parking will not
violate any conditions as would normally be applicable to a developed site.
(9) The temporary use regulations of this Section do not exempt the applicant or operator
from any other required permits, such as food service or building permits;
Staff Response: The temporary use for parking does not trigger any additional provisions.
(10) The temporary use or structure, including any associated parking and traffic circulation,
shall not disturb sensitive or protected resources, including required buffers, one-hundred-year
floodplains and required landscaping, and the applicant shall agree to restore all disturbed
areas of the site to the condition that existed prior to the temporary use or structure;
Staff Response: The applicant has submitted a site plan demonstrating compliance with the
adjacent floodplain and parking is to remain further buffered from the Eagle River. The existing
landscaping will not be compromised with the parking plan provided.
(11) Tents and other temporary structures shall be located so as not to interfere with the
normal operations of any permanent use located on the property, shall be anchored and meet
the requirements of the Building Official, including fire rating;
Staff Response: No tents or temporary structures are proposed.
(12) Off-street parking shall be adequate to accommodate the proposed temporary use or an
acceptable parking plan shall be approved with the temporary use or structure;
Staff Response: The applicant has provided a satisfactory parking plan to show the parking will
be properly managed and mitigate safety and congestion concerns.
(13) The temporary use will not result in excessive demands for police, ambulance, fire or other
essential public services which may negatively impact the capacity of existing public services to
meet existing public service demands or the applicant agrees to mitigate the increased
demands for public services;
Staff Response: The parking plan was reviewed by the Avon Police Department and Eagle River
Fire Protection District and found to be acceptable by each.
(14) The size, nature or location of the temporary use or structure is not reasonably likely to
cause a clear and present danger of injury to persons and property;
Staff Response: The proposed temporary parking lot is isolated from other uses and therefore
mitigates traffic and congestion concerns. Although a segment of the Eagle River Trail is
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – Red House Parking Temporary Use Permit 4
adjacent to the property, trail use is very low during ski season so vehicle/pedestrian conflicts
at the property access should be minimal.
(15) Another temporary use permit application has not been received prior in time or has
already been approved for the same time and place requested by the applicant or so close in
time and place to that required by the applicant that the issuance of both permits would cause
undue traffic congestion;
Staff Response: No other applications or requests have been submitted for the subject
property.
(16) The location of the temporary use or structure will not substantially interfere with any
construction or maintenance work scheduled to take place upon Town streets; and
Staff Response: Improvements were recently completed on a segment of the Eagle River Trail
adjacent to the subject property. No further construction or maintenance is scheduled for the
time requested for temporary parking.
(17) The temporary use or structure shall be for a duration which is appropriate considering the
location, use, planned development and activities in the vicinity and impact on nearby
properties; however, in no event shall a temporary use be granted for more than three (3)
years. (Ord. 11-06 §2)
Staff Response: The temporary employee parking duration request is reasonable given it
coincides with the 2014-15 ski season which ends in April, 2015.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the requested Temporary Use Permit. Staff requests that the
PZC conduct a public hearing, consider public comments, and direct Staff to prepare a formal
Findings of Fact and Record of Decision pursuant to Section 7.16.020(f)(3), Findings.
The Following Findings May be Applied Should the PZC Approve the Application
1. The application was reviewed by emergency responder agencies and found to be an
acceptable arrangement that will not negatively impact fire and police services to the
community.
2. The site is isolated from adjacent uses to the extent that the proposed temporary
employee parking will not negatively affect the use and enjoyment of adjacent property.
3. The proposed temporary employee parking does not place an undue burden on
community services, utilities or sensitive environments.
Recommended Motion
I move to approve Case #TMP14002, an application for a Temporary Use Permit for Lot 1, Eagle
River at Avon Subdivision.

January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 4010 Wildridge Road West PUD Amendment 1
Staff Report – Minor PUD Amendment
January 6, 2015 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Report date December 22, 2014
Project type Case #PUD14006 - Minor PUD Amendment
Legal description Lot 10, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD
Address 4010 Wildridge Road West
Prepared By Brian Garner, Town Planner
Introduction
Dominic Mauriello, the Applicant, representing Andrej & Mojca Gasperlin, the Property Owner,
is requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment (the Application) to modify the
allowed building type for Lot 26, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision (the Property). Currently, two
(2) dwelling units in the form of one (1) single-family-detached structure or one (1) duplex
structure are permitted by-right. The Application is requesting the ability to amend the zoning
to re-subdivide the Property to develop two (2) single-family-detached structures, and is being
processed as a Minor PUD Amendment as required by the Avon Development Code. Attached
to this report are a Vicinity Map and the Application materials.
Process
Minor PUD Amendment Process
This application is processed under §7.16.060(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 application, as submitted, meets the criteria for a Minor
Amendment.
Public Notification
In compliance with the Public Hearing and noticing requirements, a mailed notice was provided
to all property owners within 300’ of the property. Additionally, a notice was published in the
Vail Daily newspaper on December 26, 2014. Another set of public notification is required prior
to a Town Council hearing.
Public Hearings
The January 6, 2015 meeting completes the public hearing requirements with the PZC. As
noted, the Council will make the final decision on this Application through a Resolution after
holding one more public hearing.
Proposed PUD Amendment
The Property is currently undeveloped, zoned PUD and is included in the Wildridge Subdivision.
The Wildridge Subdivision and PUD Plat contains a Land Use Summary table indicating the
number of units entitled for each individual lot as shown in Exhibit 1 below. Highlighted is the
subject property entitled for two (2) units in the form of either one (1) single-family-detached
structure or one (1) duplex structure.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 4010 Wildridge Road West PUD Amendment 2
Exhibit 1 – Wildridge Subdivision and PUD Land Use Summary
The Application includes a narrative, response to the mandatory review criteria, and preliminary site
and building design plans showing a likely development scenario. This Application is requesting to
create two (2) separate lots of record that each would be permitted one (1) single-family-detached
structure. Approval of this request would supersede the existing entitlement of a duplex on the lot
and would only allow one (1) single-family-detached structure on each new lot.
The Application proposes to keep standard Wildridge easements: ten (10) foot front Snow Storage,
Maintenance Easement, and seven and one-half (7.5) foot side yard drainage and utility Easements.
Setbacks would also be consistent with the current PUD standards: 1) twenty-five (25) foot front
setback and ten (10) foot side and rear setback). The building height would also match existing
zoning at thirty-five (35) feet. If the Council approved this Application, a Minor Subdivision
application would be required prior to building permit submittal(s).
Staff Analysis
The proposal to allow two separate single-family-detached structures in lieu of the entitled
attached-single-family (duplex) does not change the density and will have a positive effect on
the mass and scale of the developed property. By separating the duplex into two structures,
the massing is minimized revealing increased building articulation, and allows light and air
between units.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 4010 Wildridge Road West PUD Amendment 3
After reviewing the PUD review criteria below, Staff finds the Application is in conformance
with the purpose of the Development Code, review criteria, and any potentially negative
impact to neighboring properties has been mitigated to the fullest extent. The development
pattern in this portion of Wildridge is a mix of duplex and single-family-detached homes; the
proposed Application will help provide variety in building forms and create a more diverse
development pattern.
PUD Review Criteria
Pursuant to §7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, AMC, the PZC shall consider the following criteria
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 §7.16.060, 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. It should be noted that all other
applicable development standards (parking, design standards, access requirements) would
remain intact.
(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. Furthermore, the application does not
propose to change from the existing residential designation.
(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);
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
§7.16.060(b). Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan is required and analysis is provided
below.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 4010 Wildridge Road West PUD Amendment 4
The Comprehensive Plan includes this property within District 24: Wildridge Residential
District. The planning principals specific to this property include the following:
• 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.
The majority of the Wildridge District planning principles deal with enhancing and promoting
open space connectivity. Approval of this Application would result in a greater diversity in
building sizes. The break from a single duplex structure into two smaller structures has the
potential to maximize sun exposure and break up building ‘bulk’.
(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: This PUD amendment does not change the current entitlement of two
residential units; therefore the existing services can adequately serve the property.
(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: When compared to the existing duplex zoning, the proposed Minor PUD
Amendment will not result in any adverse impacts upon the natural environment, wildlife,
vegetation, or air. Storm water management is improved with more opportunities for storm
water runoff between the buildings.
(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: Approval of the PUD amendment would not result in significant adverse
impacts upon other property in the vicinity as the proposed PUD Amendment maintains the
existing entitled density, building setbacks and utility/drainage easements.
(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: Single-family-detached residential use is compatible in scale with current
and potential uses on other properties in the vicinity of the Property.
Staff Recommendation
Staff requests that the PZC conduct a public hearing, consider public comments, and direct
Staff to prepare a formal Findings of Fact, Record of Decision, and Recommendation to Council
pursuant to Section 7.16.020(f)(3), Findings.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 4010 Wildridge Road West PUD Amendment 5
Recommended Motion:
I move to approve Case #PUD14006, an application for a Minor PUD Amendment for Lot 10,
Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision together with the findings of fact.
The Following Findings May be Applied Should the PZC Approve the Application
1. The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the amount of nonresidential land use
or significantly alter any approved building scale and mass of the development.
2. The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the
intent and integrity of the PUD.
3. The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of open space or result in
a change in character of any of the open space proposed within the PUD.

PUD Amendment
4010 Wildridge Road West
Lot 10, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Gasperlin Residences
A. INTRODUCTION
The applicants, Andrej and Mojca Gasperlin, represented
by Mauriello Planning Group and Martin Manley
Architects, are requesting a Minor PUD Amendment for
4010 Wildridge Road West / Lot 10, Block 3, Wildridge
Subdivision. The Wildridge PUD identifies Lot 10 as a 2
unit lot, allowing for a total of 2 dwelling units in the
form of a duplex on the property. The applicant is
requesting the Town of Avon allow for 2 single-family
dwelling units on the property, maintaining the existing
density allowed by the Wildridge PUD. Because the lot
is located within the Wildridge PUD, a minor amendment
to the PUD is required. The lot is proposed to be
platted to create two, single-family lots by a future
application should the PUD Amendment be approved.
Similar applications have recently been approved by the Town of Avon, including:
4290 Wildridge West
5151 Longsun Lane
5684 and 5678 Wildridge Road East
Wildridge Point Subdivision
The Western Sage PUD
The Dry Creek PUD
The property is 0.854 acres or 37,203 sq. ft. From Wildridge Road West to the 25 ft. setback, the site is
relatively steep, with slopes in excess of 40%. This makes access to the site difficult. However, once on
the site, it is flatter with consistent grades across the site. The site is proposed to be divided into two
single-family lots, Lot A (west) and Lot B (east). Lot A will be approximately 20,170 sq. ft., with Lot B
approximately 17,033 sq. ft. The access will be a single shared driveway. In addition, the Gasperlins are
proposing a footprint limitation of 2,900 sq. ft. and a livable area limitation of 4,000 sq. ft. for each lot.
Below is a conceptual design for the site:
Gasperlin
Residences
A duplex was previously designed and approved by the Town of Avon for the lot. The design indicates
the difficulties of designing a duplex on this site. Because it is a long, narrow lot, the duplex design runs
parallel with the grades and creates a “coast to coast” duplex with an access drive that includes a full
loop. The previously approved driveway was approximately 7,500 sq. ft. in area on the lot whereas the
proposed driveway is approximately 5,800 sq. ft., a 22% reduction in paved surface. The previous design
included a total livable area of approximately 9,352 sq. ft. and total garage area of approximately 1,800
sq. ft. Below is the site plan from this earlier design:
In comparing the previously approved design to the new proposed design, the separation of the unit
provides many benefits including:
Greenspace between the units
More functional driveway access
Light and air between the units
North-south view corridor between the
units
Improves massing with more opportunity for
building articulation
No increase in allowable development
Additional restrictions on building footprint
and livable area
Greater flexibility in building sizes
Maximizes sun exposure
Breaks up building bulk
Improves site drainage

B. BACKGROUND
The Town of Avon was incorporated in 1978 and Benchmark Properties created the Wildridge and
Wildwood Subdivisions shortly thereafter. The Wildridge Subdivision was subsequently completely
replatted in 1981. Lot 10 was platted as 0.854 acres/37,203 sq. ft. without any extraordinary
development restrictions as indicated on a portion of the 1981 plat provided below:
The development standards for the Wildridge Subdivision and PUD are provided on the plat.

D. NEIGHBOR IMPACTS
The proposed building mass is being reduced from that allowed by the PUD and from the most recent
approval of a duplex on the property. The two units at 4191 Little Point are the properties most
affected by development on Lot 10. The finished first floor elevation of the duplex units on Lot 15 is
approximately 5 ft. lower than the potential roof ridge height of the proposed homes. There is
approximately 60 ft. between the rear setback line on the proposed Lot B and the building face of Unit
B of 4191 Little Point. There is approximately 40 ft. between the rear setback line on the proposed Lot
A and the building face of Unit A of 4191 Little Point. Development on Lot 10 will have little effect on
the views from this duplex due to the change in elevation between the lots, as indicated in the
perspective provided below:
The proposed lot split provides for a minimum of 50 ft. between the homes developed on the lot. This
provides a benefit to both owners of the duplex located at 4191 Little Point / Lot 15, Block 3, Wildridge
Subdivision. This duplex is the one in the photo below:

E. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
Section 7.16.060.4 establishes the criteria for review of a PUD amendment. 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 2 single family
homes allows for a creative site design that is an improvement over the existing duplex
development scenario. The site is proposed to be divided into two single-family lots, Lot A (west)
and Lot B (east). Lot A will be approximately 20,170 sq. ft., with Lot B approximately 17,033 sq. ft.
The access will be a single shared driveway mostly located on Lot A. In addition, the Gasperlins are
proposing a footprint limitation of 2,900 sq. ft., maximum garage area of 1,000 sq. ft.,and a livable
area limitation of 4,000 sq. ft. for each lot. This provides for a design which provides the following
benefits:
Greenspace between the units
More functional driveway access
Light and air between the units
North-south view corridor between the
units
Improves massing with more opportunity
for building articulation
No increase in allowable development
Additional restrictions on building
footprint and livable area
Greater flexibility in building sizes
Maximizes sun exposure
Breaks up building bulk
Improves site drainage
These benefits and more creative site design achieves the purposes of the Development Code and
represents and improvement in quality over the previously approved design, which met the
development standards.
(ii)The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;
Applicant Response: 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);
Gasperlin
Residences
Applicant Response: The Avon Land Use Map indicates the property as Residential - Low Density
as indicated on the map below:
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:

(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;
Gasperlin
Residences
(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

(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.
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.
(5) 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.
Gasperlin
Residences
(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 property, there is no
increase to impacts upon other property in the vicinity. The proposal is consistent with the
allowable density for surrounding properties. Development in the area is a mix of single family and
duplex homes on varying lot sizes. The following aerial photo provides an idea of the character of
the existing homes in the vicinity:
Gasperlin
Residences
(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: The homes in this neighborhood have developed over time since the
Wildridge Subdivision was originally platted in the late 1970s and early 1980’s. As a result, the
architecture of homes varies greatly, from very modern to traditional mountain styles, as indicated
in the following photos:
There is a home under construction on the adjacent lot to the west at 4040 Wildridge Road West /
Lot 11, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision. This home is a single-family residence on a lot of 0.59
acres / 25,490 sq .ft., with a total livable area of 5,171 sq. ft. The following is the south elevation for
the proposed home:
The proposal is compatible with the scale of existing and potential uses in the neighborhood. While
the Gasperlin architecture is still in the conceptual design phase, the architect, Jeff Manley, has
provided the following conceptual elevations for the design of the Gasperlin homes:

January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 1
Staff Report – Minor PUD Amendment
January 6, 2015 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Report date December 23, 2014
Project type Case #PUD14005 - Minor PUD Amendment
Legal description Lot 44, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD
Address 5123 Longsun Lane
Prepared By Brian Garner, Town Planner
Introduction
Bruce Baca, the Applicant and Property Owner, is requesting a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) Amendment (the Application) to modify the allowed building type for Lot 44, Block 4,
Wildridge Subdivision (the Property). Currently, two (2) dwelling units in the form of one (1)
single-family-detached (SFD) structure or one (1) duplex structure are permitted by-right.
Currently, the property is developed with one SFD structure. The Application is requesting the
ability to amend the zoning to re-subdivide the Property to develop one (1) additional SFD
structure, and is being processed as a Minor PUD Amendment as required by the Avon
Development Code. Attached to this report are a Vicinity Map and the Application materials.
Process
Minor PUD Amendment Process
This application is processed under §7.16.060(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 application, as submitted, meets the criteria for a Minor
Amendment.
Public Notification
In compliance with the Public Hearing and noticing requirements, a mailed notice was provided
to all property owners within 300’ of the property. Due to the sensitivity of this application
type, mailed notices were sent to property owners beyond the standard 300 foot buffer.
Additionally, a notice was published in the Vail Daily newspaper on December 26, 2014. Another
set of public notification is required prior to a Town Council hearing.
Public Hearings
The January 6, 2015 meeting completes the public hearing requirements with the PZC. As
noted, the Council will make the final decision on this Application through a Resolution after
holding one more public hearing.
Proposed PUD Amendment
The Property is zoned PUD and is included in the Wildridge Subdivision. The Wildridge
Subdivision and PUD Plat contains a Land Use Summary table indicating the number of units
entitled for each individual lot as shown in Exhibit 1 below. Highlighted is the subject property
entitled for two (2) units in the form of either one (1) single-family-detached structure or one (1)
duplex structure.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 2
Exhibit 1 – Wildridge Subdivision and PUD Land Use Entitlements
This Application is requesting to create two (2) separate lots of record that each would be
permitted one (1) single-family-detached structure. Approval of this request would supersede
the existing entitlement of a duplex on the lot and would only allow one (1) single-family-
detached structure on each new lot. The applicant currently resides in the existing residence
on Lot 44, a single-family-detached structure accessed by a driveway on Longsun Lane. To
demonstrate the proposed lot split, the applicant has provided a conceptual lot configuration
showing how the lot (Lot 44) would be re-subdivided. Lot 44 is currently 1.150 acres according
to Eagle County Assessor’s data; therefore, splitting the lot in half would result in two lots
approximately 0.575 acres each in size. The Wildridge PUD places no additional restrictions on
building height for Lot 44 which is designated as 35 feet. The conceptual access driveway
shown on the plat has been reviewed and deemed acceptable by the Town Engineer, Justin
Hildreth. Additionally, the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District (ERWSD) has reviewed the
Application and provided a response of no conflict.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 3
The Application proposes to keep standard Wildridge easements: ten (10) foot front Snow
Storage, Maintenance Easement, and seven and one-half (7.5) foot side yard drainage and
utility Easements. Setbacks would also be consistent with the current PUD standards: 1)
twenty-five (25) foot front setback and ten (10) foot side and rear setback). The building
height would also match existing zoning at thirty-five (35) feet. Should the PZC recommend
approval and Town Council approve this Application a Minor Subdivision application would be
required prior to building permit submittal(s). Lastly, the applicant would apply for a Major
Development Plan and Design Review for the proposed SFD home proposed to be constructed
once the zoning amendment and subdivision plat is approved.
Staff Analysis
This proposal is somewhat different than other recent PUD amendment proposals since the
property is currently developed with a single-family-detached residence. The perception of
allowing a second single-family-detached structure is of additional density in the neighborhood.
However, Lot 44 is entitled for two residences in the form of a duplex, which may be achieved
by adding on to the existing structure. The consideration of this application is therefore a
matter of mass and scale. The proposed PUD amendment would allow the second entitled
residence to be located below the existing residence thereby breaking up the mass and scale of
a structure and allowing the owners to maximize their entitled land use. Staff gave particular
attention to this arrangement and considered carefully each arrangement and decided the
proposed scenario is favorable due to the lot configuration, access, orientation and ample
buffering from adjacent development. It should be noted that a majority of the development
impact will be to the applicant since his home is above the proposed new lot. Furthermore, the
property to the south and west of Lot 44 (across Wildridge Road East) is Tract L, Town of Avon
Open Space.
After reviewing the PUD review criteria below, Staff finds the Application is in conformance
with the purpose of the Development Code, review criteria, and any potentially negative
impact to neighboring properties has been mitigated to the fullest extent. The development
pattern in this portion of Wildridge is a mix of duplex and single-family-detached homes; the
proposed Application will help provide variety in building forms and create a more diverse
development pattern.
PUD Review Criteria
Pursuant to §7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, AMC, the PZC shall consider the following criteria
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
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 4
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 §7.16.060, 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. It should be noted that all other
applicable development standards (parking, design standards, access requirements) would
remain intact.
(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. Furthermore, the application does not
propose to change from the existing residential designation.
(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);
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
§7.16.060(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:
• 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.
The majority of the Wildridge District planning principles deal with enhancing and promoting
open space connectivity. Approval of this Application would result in reduced overall
building massing. The break from a single duplex structure into two smaller structures has
the potential to maximize sun exposure and break up building ‘bulk’.
(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: This PUD amendment does not change the current entitlement of two
residential units; therefore the existing services can adequately serve the property.
January 6, 2015 PZC Meeting – 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 5
(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: When compared to the existing duplex zoning, the proposed Minor PUD
Amendment will not result in any adverse impacts upon the natural environment, wildlife,
vegetation, or air. Storm water management is improved with more opportunities for storm
water runoff between the buildings.
(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: Approval of the PUD amendment would not result in significant adverse
impacts upon other property in the vicinity as the proposed PUD Amendment maintains the
existing entitled density, building setbacks and utility/drainage easements.
(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: Single-family-detached residential use is compatible in scale with current
and potential uses on other properties in the vicinity of the Property.
Staff Recommendation
Staff requests that the PZC conduct a public hearing, consider public comments, and direct
Staff to prepare a formal Findings of Fact, Record of Decision, and Recommendation to Council
pursuant to Section 7.16.020(f)(3), Findings.
The Following Findings May be Applied Should the PZC Approve the Application
1. The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the amount of nonresidential land use
or significantly alter any approved building scale and mass of the development.
2. The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the
intent and integrity of the PUD.
3. The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of open space or result in
a change in character of any of the open space proposed within the PUD.
Recommended Motion
I move to approve Case #PUD14005, an application for a Minor PUD Amendment for Lot 44,
Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision together with the findings of fact.
