SGN15010: Variance for a Temporary Sign. The Applicant is requesting approval of a temporary sign not meeting the standards of a temporary sign as outlined in Sec. 15.28.080(12) of the Avon Municipal Code. Background Through Case #REZ15001, a rezoning of Lot IA Buck Creek PUD to Mixed -Use Commercial (MC) was approved by Town Council in May, 2015 to construct an approximate 50,000 square foot medical facility. Subsequently, the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) approved a Major Development Plan to construct the Buck Creek Medical Plaza through Case #MJR15002. Lot IA was replatted as Lot IA Buck Creek Subdivision, Filing #2 in May, 2015. At this time, the Buck Creek Medical Plaza is under construction and the Applicant is requesting a temporary banner sign to advertise available leasable space in the facility. Summary of Request The Applicant is requesting approval of a temporary banner sign constructed of vinyl material dimensioned as 12 -feet wide by 6 -feet tall, or 72 square feet (Exhibit A). The banner would be affixed to the temporary construction perimeter fence on the Property facing the intersection of Nottingham Road and Swift Gulch Road. The requested duration of display is twelve (12) months. Summary Temporary Signs Temporary signs are permitted, provided that: a. A business may display, on a one-time basis for not more than thirty (30) days, one (1) temporary sign per calendar year. Such temporary sign shall have a maximum area of not more than thirty-five (35) square feet. b. In addition to permissible temporary signs as set forth in subparagraph a of this Section, during the permitting and installing process for a business's permanent identification August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page Lot 1A, Buck Creek Subdivision, Filing #2 # Temporary Signs Total Sign Sq Ft Duration Dev Code One (1) temporary 35 sq ft 30 days max As Proposed One (1) temporary 72 sq ft 12 months Temporary Signs Temporary signs are permitted, provided that: a. A business may display, on a one-time basis for not more than thirty (30) days, one (1) temporary sign per calendar year. Such temporary sign shall have a maximum area of not more than thirty-five (35) square feet. b. In addition to permissible temporary signs as set forth in subparagraph a of this Section, during the permitting and installing process for a business's permanent identification August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page Lot 1A, Buck Creek Subdivision, Filing #2 sign, such business may display one (1) temporary sign with a maximum area equal to the business's permanent identification sign's allowable square footage. Such temporary sign will be allowed to remain in place for not more than thirty (30) days. c. The sign administrator may issue a permit for a temporary sign meeting the criteria for a temporary sign meeting the criteria in Subparagraphs a and b of this Section without Planning and Zoning Commission review. d. Temporary signs not meeting the criteria in Subparagraphs a and b of this Section may be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission only upon a determination by the Commission that a variance should be granted pursuant to Section 15.28.090. Variances (1) Purpose. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall have authority to grant variances from this regulation to prevent or lessen such practical difficulties and unnecessary physical hardships, inconsistent with the objectives of this Chapter, as would result from strict or literal interpretation and enforcement. (2) Approval Criteria. Before acting on a variance request, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following factors: a. The relationship of the requested variance to existing and potential uses and structures in the vicinity; Staff Response: The temporary sign is proposed to be located on temporary construction fencing located on the Property and will announce the project as well as provide contact information. Allowing the requested temporary sign with larger dimensions and for a longer duration should have little or no impact to existing and potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Staff has verified the sign's location will not impede visibility to traffic on Nottingham Road or Swift Gulch Road. b. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity; Staff Response: The variance is warranted as the sign code does not provide criteria applicable to larger commercial projects that contain leasable space. Other sites in the vicinity expressing a similar need for temporary signage would be reviewed independently on a case-by-case basis to determine whether relief from the temporary sign criteria is necessary. c. Such other factors and criteria as the Planning and Zoning Commission deems applicable to the requested variance. Staff Response: The Applicant's request pertains to an active construction site which is different in nature than an existing site wishing to simply advertise. The requested signage helps provide project identification as well as contact August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page Lot 1A, Buck Creek Subdivision, Filing #z information. Furthermore, the requested dimensions of the sign seem reasonable and suited to the scale of the site. (3) Findings Required. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: a. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity; b. That the variance is warranted for one (1) or more of the following reasons: 1. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Chapter, 2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity, 3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity. Staff Recommendation for Case #SGN15010 Staff recommends approving the proposed variance for temporary signage Application for the Buck Creek Medical Plaza at 50 Buck Creek Lane. Recommended Motion: I move to approve Case #SGN15010, an application for a variance for a temporary sign located at 50 Buck Creek Lane together with the required findings outlined in the staff report.

SGN15006: The Applicant is requesting approval of an individual business sign that is not in accordance with the approved Master Sign Program for 51 Beaver Creek Place originally approved in December, 1998. Background A Master Sign Program for retail tenants of 51 Beaver Creek Place was originally approved by the PZC on December 2, 1998. There are five (5) tenant spaces in the commercial retail center and four (4) current businesses. The existing tenants (from south to north) and their respective sign types are as follows: Unit #1: Boost Mobile: Internally lit pan channel (conforming to MSP) Unit #2: Vacant: No sign. Unit #3: Colorado Meat Company: No existing sign (as proposed is not conforming to MSP) Unit #4: Columbine Bakery: Individual lettering with up -light (not conforming to MSP) Unit #5: Domino's Pizza: Internally lit cabinet sign on two sides (east and north) of tower (not conforming to MSP; sign variance approved by PZC in 1991). Additionally, there is one (1) freestanding monument sign constructed of concrete block with "Fifty One Beaver Creek Place" labeled on two (2) sides approved by the PZC in 1988. The monument sign is located at the corner of E. Beaver Creek Place and E. Beaver Creek Blvd. and is approximately ten (10) feet tall but does not label individual building tenants. This sign is conforming to the MSP. Summary of Request Leasing tenant space #3 from the property owner, Bruce Allen, is Brittany Pearson & Chris Hudgens with Colorado Meat Company (Applicant). The Applicant has submitted an individual sign application (Exhibit A) for new business signage proposed to be located above the front entrance to 51 Beaver Creek Place, Unit #3 (the Property). The Applicant is opening a new business in Avon called Colorado Meat Company, a custom butcher shop offering custom cuts of meat. The business sign proposed by the Applicant is not in August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page I i 51 Beaver Creek Place - Lot 69, Block i, BMBC accordance with the approved Master Sign Program (MSP) for the Property and the Applicant would like to utilize signage that better represents the business than that allowed by the outdated MSP. The proposed sign represents a butcher block with a wooden walnut -strip backboard and the logo and letters cut from brushed aluminum and stud -mounted to provide relief. An existing up -light mounted on the building fascia would light the sign from below. Approved by the Town in 1998, the current MSP for 51 Beaver Creek Place requires a pan - channel letter sign design located above the front windows of each storefront. The MSP grants an exception to tenant unit #5 which is currently occupied by Domino's Pizza and has a backlit cabinet style wall sign mounted to the tower. Tenant space #4 is currently occupied by Columbine Caf6 & Bakery and contains small individual letters mounted to the fagade above the front entry with an up -light mounted just below the lettering. This style conforms to the sign requirements prior to the current version and is allowed to remain according to the MSP. Tenant spaces #3 and #2 currently do not have any signage since they have been vacant. Tenant space #1 is occupied by Boost Mobile and has a pan -channel sign that was approved in 2015 and meets the MSP requirements. The Property Owner, represented by Hal Allen, has provided the Applicant with permission to move forward with the proposed sign design and has provided the requisite application forms. According to the Applicant and verified by staff, Mr. Allen is willing to amend the MSP for the Property but is currently out of the country and was unable to initiate that process prior to leaving. Additionally, the Property Owner is aware of a potential new tenant that may soon occupy tenant space #2 and would like to first coordinate a MSP amendment with all tenants of the building before amending the program so that each business has representation in the new program. 15.28.080(16) Sign Programs Sign programs are encouraged for all projects, and are required as a part of the design review process for all proposed projects. Sign programs shall be in accordance with: • Sign programs shall be compatible with the site and building, and should provide for a similarity of types, sizes, styles and materials for signs within a project. Several alternatives for signage should be included in the program so as not to be so restrictive as to eliminate individuality. • Sign programs may be proposed or changed only by the owners of the building or the owners' association. Sign program changes or proposals may not be made by an individual business. • Proposed signs, not in accordance with an approved sign program, will only be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission upon receipt of written evidence that the proposed sign is acceptable to the owners of the building or the owners' association. • All sign programs shall be in written and plan form. Plans shall indicate size, location, type and number of signs for the site and buildings. • Programs may include limitations on wording, colors, design, lighting, materials and other restrictions, and deemed appropriate by the applicant. August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 12 51 Beaver Creek Place - Lot 69, Block i, BMBC 51 Beaver Creek Place Master Sign Program 1. Lettering style may vary to suit the individual store. 2. Signage will be limited to 20 square feet/tenant. Store #5 (currently Domino's) will be allowed to have an additional sign on the north side of the building up to 20 square feet. Store #5 may use a) the existing tower for their signs or b) the locations above their windows as is done with stores #1 through #4. 3. Individual letters must be no smaller than 6" and no larger than 18". This will be dictated by the number of letters in the store name. 4. The lighting will be internally lit pan channel. 5. The returns of the pan channel to the building will be black. 6. Service entry signage will be vinyl or hand painted lettering matching the style and color of the main lettering on the back door. This signage will not be required of the store. 7. Existing signage installed and maintained in conformance with the previous master sign program may remain in place, until replaced or substantially repaired. 8. Signs will be of the following colors: white, black, red, blue, green, maroon and brown. Any other colors must receive approval from the Town of Avon. 9. The existing lattice work must be maintained. Proposed Deviation from Master Sign Program Planning Commission Review The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed designs: 15.28.060 - Sign design guidelines. (a) Harmonious with Town scale. Sign location, configuration, design, materials and colors should be harmonious with the existing signs on the structure, with the neighborhood and with the Townscape. Staff Response: Similar to Columbine Cafe & Bakery and Domino's Pizza, the proposed sign location is above the front entry on the front facade just below the gabled roof and makes the tenant easily identifiable. The configuration, design, materials and colors of the proposed sign are all custom, high-quality and unique to the business. Newer signs in the vicinity are similar to the sign proposed by utilizing wood and routed letters such as those found at Boxcar Restaurant. (b) Harmonious with building scale. The sign should be harmonious with the building scale, and should not visually dominate the structure to which it belongs or call undue attention to itself. Staff Response: The proposed sign location helps make the business more readily identifiable and easier for customers to find, while remaining smaller in size than current August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 13 51 Beaver Creek Place - Lot 69, Block 2, BMBC Total Business Signs Total Sign Sq Ft Type Lighting Letter Size 51 BC Place One (1) in 20 square feet; Pan Channel Internally lit Between 6" — 18" MSP designated location 2' tall x 10' wide As Proposed One (1) not in 7.5 square feet Custom; butcher One (1) existing Between 6" — 18" designated location 36"x30" square block with brushed up -light aluminum lettering & logo Planning Commission Review The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed designs: 15.28.060 - Sign design guidelines. (a) Harmonious with Town scale. Sign location, configuration, design, materials and colors should be harmonious with the existing signs on the structure, with the neighborhood and with the Townscape. Staff Response: Similar to Columbine Cafe & Bakery and Domino's Pizza, the proposed sign location is above the front entry on the front facade just below the gabled roof and makes the tenant easily identifiable. The configuration, design, materials and colors of the proposed sign are all custom, high-quality and unique to the business. Newer signs in the vicinity are similar to the sign proposed by utilizing wood and routed letters such as those found at Boxcar Restaurant. (b) Harmonious with building scale. The sign should be harmonious with the building scale, and should not visually dominate the structure to which it belongs or call undue attention to itself. Staff Response: The proposed sign location helps make the business more readily identifiable and easier for customers to find, while remaining smaller in size than current August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 13 51 Beaver Creek Place - Lot 69, Block 2, BMBC allowances. The proposed location above the front entrance to unit #3 is a suitable scale to the building. (c) Materials. Quality sign materials, including anodized metal; routed or sandblasted wood, such as rough cedar or redwood; interior -lit, individual Plexiglas -faced letters; or three-dimensional individual letters with or without indirect lighting, are encouraged. Sign materials, such as printed plywood, interior -lit box -type plastic and paper or vinyl stick -on window signs are discouraged, but may be approved, however, if determined appropriate to the location, at the sole discretion of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff Response: As discussed above, the proposed sign materials utilize custom, quality materials that are harmonious with the sign design guidelines contained herein. (d) Architectural harmony. The sign and its supporting structure should be in harmony architecturally, and in harmony in color with the surrounding structures. Staff Response: The proposed sign, mounted flat against the fagade contains colors and is architecturally harmonious with surrounding structures which employ a variety of sign types. Similar signs utilizing wood and metal lettering are used at Boxcar restaurant. (e) Landscaping. Landscaping is required for all freestanding signs, and should be designed to enhance the signage and surrounding building landscaping. (1) A minimum of five (5) lineal feet out from, and around the perimeter of, the sign shall be landscaped. Staff Response: Not applicable to this design guideline since the proposed sign is a wall sign. (f) Reflective surfaces. Reflective surfaces are not allowed. Staff Response: The sign does not propose reflective materials. (g) Lighting. Lighting should be of no greater wattage than is necessary to make the sign visible at night, and should not reflect unnecessarily onto adjacent properties. Lighting sources, except neon tubing, should not be directly visible to passing pedestrians or vehicles, and should be concealed in such a manner that direct light does not shine in a disturbing manner. Staff Response: The Applicant proposes to use an existing light source mounted to the fagade above the front door to illuminate the sign. Staff is recommending an advisory that the Applicant utilize an LED type bulb to ensure light is directed onto the sign as well as energy conservation. (h) Location. On multi -story buildings, individual business signs shall generally be limited to the ground level. Staff Response: The Property is a single -story building. August 4, 2015 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page 14 51 Beaver Creek Place - Lot 69, Block z, BMBC Staff Recommendation for Case #SGN15005 Staff recommends approving the proposed Individual Sign Application for tenant space #3 at 51 Beaver Creek Place with an advisory that the Applicant utilizes an LED type bulb to ensure light is directed onto the sign as well as energy conservation. Findings: The following findings may be applied: 1. The individual sign was reviewed in accordance with §15.28.080(16), Sign Programs, and found to be in conformance with the recommendations and requirements of the Sign Code. 2. The design of the proposed sign complies with the review criteria set forth in § 15.28.060, Sign Design Guidelines, of the Avon Municipal Code; 3. The proposed sign is compatible with the site and provides consistent quality and aesthetics to other improvements in the 51 Beaver Creek Place retail plaza. Recommended Motion: I move to approve Case #SGN15006, an application for an individual sign for the Colorado Meat Company at 51 Beaver Creek Place unit #3.

Approval of this request would supersede the existing entitlement of a duplex on the lot and would only allow one (1) single -family - August 4, 2015 PZC Meeting — 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 2 detached structure on each new lot. The Applicant currently resides in the existing residence on Lot 44, a single -family -detached unit accessed by a driveway on Longsun Lane. To demonstrate the proposed lot split, the Applicant has provided a proposed site plan showing how Lot 44 would be re -subdivided to accommodate the second SFD structure. Lot 44 is currently 1.15o acres according to Eagle County Assessor's data; therefore, splitting the lot in half would result in two lots that each contain just over one-half acre in size. The Wildridge PUD allows a thirty-five (35) foot maximum building height for Lot 44 and the proposed access driveway shown on the attached site plan has been reviewed and deemed acceptable by the Town Engineer. Additionally, the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District (ERWSD) has reviewed the Application and provided a response of no conflict since Lot 44 has development rights for two (2) units. 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 (minimum). Although setbacks would remain consistent with the current PUD standards including twenty-five (25) foot front setback and ten (10) foot side and rear setback, the Applicant is proposing a smaller, defined building envelope to provide a specific site for the SFD unit. The maximum building height is proposed not to exceed elevation 8,485', which would cap the structure height at thirty-four (34) feet, slightly less than the thirty-five feet maximum allowed by the PUD. Should the PZC recommend approval and Town Council approve this Application a Minor Subdivision application would be required prior to building permit submittal. Lastly, the applicant would be required to obtain PZC approval of a Major Development Plan and Design Review application for the proposed SFD home proposed to be constructed once the PUD amendment and subdivision plat is approved. Staff Analysis Lot 44 is currently entitled for two (2) residences in the form of a duplex, which may be achieved by adding on to the existing structure. The proposed PUD amendment would allow the second residence to be located below the existing residence as a second single -family - detached home. 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. August 4, 2015 PZC Meeting — 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 3 PUD Review Criteria Pursuant to §7.16.o6o(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 proposed PUD amendment does not increase demands on public services since Lot 44 has development rights for two (2) units. The proposed building layout is compatible with the surrounding area which contains a mix of single -family -detached and duplex residences and all other applicable development standards such as parking, design standards and access requirements are retained. The improvement in quality is represented by the increased choice of housing since a majority of lots in Wildridge contain development rights to construct a duplex. (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 -detached structures on the Property is compatible with the adjacent single -family -detached and duplex residential uses. Furthermore, the application does not propose to change from the existing residential use designation. (iii) The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of this Development Code, and the eligibility criteria outlined in § J6.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: • Site buildings of varying sizes along the street to maximize sun exposure, proteet views, be compatible with existing surrounding development, and break up building bulk. Lot 44 has development rights for two (2) units and this Application does conform to the above planning principle by siting a second unit along Wildridge Road East, maximizing sun August 4, 2015 PZC Meeting — 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 4 exposure, protecting views and is compatible with existing surrounding development. Furthermore, building bulk is from the potential of a duplex in lieu of two SFD units. (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 development rights, the proposed Minor PUD Amendment seeking the second unit in the form of a single -family -detached unit is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and vegetation. Such impacts will be substantially mitigated by creating a specific building envelope with a defined, limited footprint and reducing impervious surface areas. (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 as well as residential use of 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. 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. August 4, 2015 PZC Meeting — 5123 Longsun Lane PUD Amendment 5 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 beyond the existing development rights for two (2) residential units. 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.

To: Chairman Jim Clancy and Planning and Zoning Commission From: Matt Pielsticker, Planning Manager Date: August 4, 2015 Agenda Topic: Work Session - Wildridge Standards Introduction Stemming from the recent Council/PZC work session, this work session on August 4 is intended to focus on Wildridge development standards pertaining to "coast-to-coast" duplex designs and building on steep slopes. The intended outcome of this discussion is to provide staff with specific direction to recommend amendments to the Development Code to address concerns with these items. As you may recall, the direction from the joint work session with Council was not to pursue a re-establishment of the Wildridge Covenants. Duplex Design Currently, no codified development standards exist to prevent a "coast-to-coast" duplex design. The PZC will discuss this subject to identify concerns and determine the standards that may be proposed for codification. Steep Slopes There is a codified section devoted to developing on steep slopes. This section will be reviewed and discussed to determine if the standards do an adequate job of preventing development uncharacteristic to the Wildridge Subdivision. Potential amendments to the Development Code include: 1. Steep lot requirements such as reduced building coverage/reduced impermeable surface coverage for steep lots z. Design requirements for stepping with hillside (note: see 7.28.o9o(c)(2)(i & iii)) Next Steps • Continue discussion at PZC meetings until recommendations are final • Prepare recommendations for future Town Council agenda Attachments • Chapter 7.28.ogo Design Standards: 7.28.ogo(c) Generally Applicable Design Standards 7.28.ogo(d) Generally Applicable Residential Design Standards 7.28.ogo(e) Design Standards for the Wildridge Subdivision • Chapter 7.28.1oo Natural Resource Protection • Wildridge Design Guidelines • Steep lot site coverage regulations from the Town of Vail (Example) August 4, 2015 PZC Work Session Wildridge Development Standards PAGE 1 OF 1 • 7.28.090 - Design standards. (a) Purpose. The general intent of the design standards is to implement the Avon Comprehensive Plan vision of an attractive, efficient and livable community that features stable neighborhoods and promotes a mix of uses in well-designed community focal points. The specific purposes of this Section include: (1) To achieve the proper and efficient use of the land by promoting an appropriate balance between the built environment and the preservation and protection of open space and natural resources; (2) To protect public and private investment through preservation of open spaces, protection of natural resources including existing trees, providing buffers between incompatible uses and along roadways and encouraging the planting of new trees and vegetation as deemed appropriate; (3) To promote sound management of water quality and quantity through preservation of natural areas and by encouraging the use of native plant materials; [a To provide appropriate standards to ensure a high quality appearance for residents and visitors of Avon and promote good design while also allowing flexibility, individuality, creativity and artistic expression; (5) To protect and enhance the unique mountain character and economic development of Avon by encouraging physical development that is of high quality and is compatible with the character, scale and function of its surrounding area; a To encourage developments that relate to adjoining public streets, open spaces, parks, trails and neighborhoods with building orientation and physical connections that contribute to the surrounding network of streets and walkways; (7) To ensure that the location and configuration of structures, including signs and signage, are visually compatible with their sites and with surrounding sites and structures and that the site design and structures conform to the Avon Comprehensive Plan; ;E To ensure that the architectural design of structures and their materials and colors are compatible with the Town's overall appearance, surrounding development, natural and existing landforms and the officially approved development plans, if any, for the areas in which the structures are proposed to be located. (b) Applicability. (1) The design standards in this Section are applicable as provided in Section 7.28.010, Purpose and Applicability, and as specifically described in the individual sections below. (2) Where the Town has adopted area -specific design standards, adopted by public hearing procedures before the Avon Town Council, such as the East Town Center District Plan or West Town Center District Investment Plan, those design standards shall be applicable in addition to these regulations in the identified areas. In the case of conflict, the area -specific design standards shall govern. (c) Generally Applicable Design Standards. The design standards in this Section are applicable to all new development as provided in Section 7.28.010, Purpose and Applicability. (1) Site Disturbance Envelope. All new development shall define a site disturbance envelope on the site plan. The site disturbance envelope shall delineate an area that identifies the location within which all grading, clearing, excavation and development shall be located on a property, including but not limited to any septic systems, wells, dwellings, buildings or other structures. The site disturbance envelope shall be located to minimize the impact of the development on the site. (2) Site Design: (i) The location of structures and access shall complement the existing topography and views of the site. New buildings should respond to the climate of Avon and the Eagle River Valley through their orientation, massing, construction and their choice of passive environmental control strategies and active environmental control systems. Buildings on sloping lots with a grade differential in excess of ten (10) feet shall be designed with foundations that step with the existing (natural) grades. (iv) Construction activity shall be allowed in a site disturbance envelope as approved by the PZC and shall not encroach into the remaining portions of a lot. (v) Buildings shall be oriented to optimize solar access. (3) Building Materials and Colors: The use of high quality, durable building materials is required. Exterior walls shall be finished with materials used in a manner sympathetic to the scale and architectural style of the building. Preferred materials reflect the Town's sub -alpine character such as native stone, wood siding, masonry or timbers. The following building materials and wall finishes are not permitted on the exterior of any structure: (A) Asphalt siding; (B) Imitation brick; (C) Asbestos cement shingles or siding; Imitation log siding; or (E) Plastic or vinyl siding. (iv) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider newly developed materials in light of Subparagraphs (A) through (C) above, and make a determination about appropriateness. (v) Indigenous natural or earth tones, such as brown, tan, grey, green, blue or red, in muted, flat colors with an LRV (Light Reflective Value) of sixty (60) or less are required. (vi) The following colors are prohibited: neon, Day-Glo, fluorescent, reflective and non -earth tones. (vii) All flues, flashing and other reflective materials shall be painted to match and/or appropriately contrast with adjacent materials. (4) Roofs: Pitched roofs, particularly those located over building entrances, shall be oriented such that excessive snow and ice does not accumulate over or drop onto pedestrian walkways, parking areas or drives. Special protection, such as snow fences, shall be required for roofs so oriented. Overhangs are required on pitched roofs and shall extend at least one and one-half (1.5) feet from the point where the wall meets the roof as horizontally measured from the exterior wall of the structure. Roofing materials shall be suitable for local environmental conditions. Colors shall be natural or earth tones. (5) Weather Protection for Pedestrian Areas: (i) Building Design: (A) Buildings shall be designed so that entries, steps, balconies and pedestrian walkways or sidewalks are protected from precipitation shedding off roofs. IN Sheltering roofs or building projections for protection from rain, wind, snow and ice shall be provided in areas of pedestrian activity around public/ institutional, commercial and mixed-use buildings, including sheltered entranceways at major entrances and pedestrian -oriented fagades along public sidewalks or walkways. (C) Buildings shall avoid roof designs, canopy structures or other design features that would allow accumulated snow, ice or rain or to fall or slide onto sidewalks or walkways. Roofs shall be designed to protect doorways, exterior stairs, balconies, garage entrances, bicycle parking and pedestrian sidewalks and walkways from snow and ice. Where sloping rooflines incline toward such areas, protective features, such as arcades, loggias and dormers, shall be used to protect pedestrians from falling snow. Such devices need not be continuous if foundation planning beds are located to set the walkway away from the building facades. in Additional roof design requirements are located in Section 7.28.090, Design Standards. (ii) Sidewalk Design: (A) Pedestrian walkways shall be clearly defined through the use of consistent pavers and signage. a Pedestrian walkways shall be designed to minimize potential conflicts with snow management operations and ensure pedestrian safety by: (1) Limiting grade changes where possible; and (2) Using ramps instead of stairs where a change in grade is necessary. a Generally Applicable Residential Design Standards: (1) Applicability. The standards in this Section are applicable to the development of any residential development pursuant to Section 7.28.010, Purpose and Applicability. (2) Building Separation. The minimum separation between residential buildings, including accessory buildings, is fifteen (15) feet. Architectural projections, such as decks, bay windows and roof overhangs, may project into the separation area, but may not encroach into required setbacks. (3) Roofs: All residential buildings shall have pitched roofs with a rise of not less than four (4) inches in twelve (12) inches of distance. Primary roofs shall have a four -to -twelve (4:12) minimum and a twelve -to -twelve (12:12) maximum. Secondary roofs shall have a four -to -twelve (4:12) minimum and metal roofs shall have a three -to -twelve (3:12) minimum. Flat roofs may be permitted as secondary roofs or if the flat roof is consistent with the architectural style of the building. All buildings shall incorporate roofline modulation. Large expanses of bright, reflective materials are not permitted; however, standing seam metal, copper or weathering steel (corten) may be acceptable. (4) Materials and Colors. A building's color and materials shall complement and blend with the predominant colors and values of the surrounding natural environment. Architectural concepts should utilize a limited number of compatible materials. Exterior materials which complement the hillside setting should be used. Stone, stucco, wood siding, lap siding and exposed wood structural members are encouraged in natural colors or earth tone finishes. All exposed sheet metal and flashing shall be painted or treated to harmonize with the adjacent field colors. Window and skylight casing materials shall be painted or treated to harmonize with building architecture, materials and colors. Mirror-like window tinting is prohibited. (iv) Exterior colors should be subdued natural colors or earth -tone finishes which reflect and complement checking the hillside setting of the subdivision and which do not stand out from the site. Inappropriate exterior colors include bright and pastel colors, such as pinks and peaches, and colors which are hot or reflective, such as the primary colors. Contrasting color accents shall be kept to a minimum. (v) Materials used for accessory buildings and fences shall be compatible with the architectural concept for the house. (vi) All retaining walls and concrete exposed to downhill views shall be colored, textured or painted to harmonize with adjacent soil or plant colors and screened by landscaping to reduce visual impacts. (5) Four -Sided Design. All sides of a residential building shall display a similar level of quality and architectural detailing. Architectural features and treatments shall not be restricted to a single facade. a Duplex, Townhome and Multi -Family Design. Duplex, townhome and multi -family developments shall be designed in a manner that creates a single unified structure and site plan. Unified design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, massing, detail, roof forms and landscaping. While "mirror image" units are not supported, the design intent should be one that creates a unified structure with enough variety and architectural interest to distinguish a duplex, townhome or multi -family structure from a single-family home. (e) Design Standards for the Wildridge Subdivision. (1) Intent: To preserve and enhance the aesthetic qualities of the natural hillsides by designing projects which relate to the slope of the land and minimize the amount of project grading; and To promote development which is visually compatible with the natural topography of the surrounding area. (2) Building Height on Steep Slopes. Determining building height on steep slopes has frequently resulted in three-story walls on the downhill side that create an overbearing presence on properties below. Therefore, the visual impact of building height and massing on lots with steep slopes shall be reduced by articulating the building facades and creating proportional stories in a multi -story building. Building height will be reduced for buildings or portions of buildings with flat roofs as follows: (A) Four -to -twelve (4:12) roof slopes or greater: thirty-five (35) feet. a Less than a four -to -twelve (4:12) roof slope: thirty (30) feet. (3) Building Design: (i) Buildings shall have street -facing architectural details and elements which provide a human scale to the facade. Flat, monotonous facades shall be avoided. (A) The design of a structure shall create variety and interest along the street elevation. A significant alteration of the massing and composition (not just the exterior colors and materials) of each house or each townhouse or duplex unit must be accomplished. R The use of architectural features that increase visual prominence should be avoided. Massive, tall elements, such as two-story entries, turrets and large chimneys, should be avoided. Such elements on the downhill face of the structure are of particular concern. (f) Single -Family and Duplex Design Standards in all other Subdivisions. (1) Entrances and Porches. Entry features and front doors to units should be the dominant elements facing the street. Entrances should be directly accessed and clearly visible from the street. Duplexes shall provide separate covered entries for each dwelling unit. (2) Building Design. Duplex developments should relate to the characteristic frontage of the surrounding area by: Providing variations in height and massing; Respecting the scale and height of adjacent homes; and Minimizing the impact of its larger scale by articulating the front facades to create depth and interest. (g) Townhouse Design Standards. (1) Site Layout: (i) The intent of this Section is to build townhouses with architectural designs that relate buildings to the street and that achieve a harmonious balance between repetition and variety. Townhouses fronting on a street must all have individual ground -related entries accessible from the street. Configurations where enclosed rear yards back up to a street are prohibited. Developments must emphasize the individual pedestrian entrances rather than private garages to the extent possible, by enhancing entries with a trellis, small enclosed porch or other architectural features that provides cover for a person entering the unit and a transitional space between outside and inside the dwelling. (2) Driveways and Private Internal Streets. Where townhouse units are served by private internal streets, developments are encouraged to limit the depth of driveways between the streets and the garage wall to deemphasize vehicular access. (3) Common Areas. Townhouse developments with at least six (6) residential units shall provide four hundred (400) square feet of private common area for each unit. This includes landscaped courtyards or decks, front porches, gardens with pathways, children's play areas or other multi-purpose recreational and/or green spaces. (4) Building Design: Design the primary facade of each townhouse so it is evident where the unit begins and ends. This can be achieved by repeating the principal architectural elements and subtly varying the offsetting of building walls, choice of materials, parapet height and color. The composition of a townhouse grouping requires repetition of architectural elements like entries, bays, cornices and parapets. At the same time, visual interest and streetscape diversity are promoted by variation. Townhouse developments shall achieve balance between repetition and variety by employing modulation techniques on individual units such as changing rooflines, building articulation and windows. (h) Multi -Family Design Standards. (1) Site Layout. Multi -family buildings shall be oriented parallel to the public street or to the neighborhood's internal streets. Buildings should be organized around open spaces and gathering areas, and courtyard arrangements are encouraged. Multiple building developments shall create a composition of buildings and landscape features that complement each other. Site plans must demonstrate a unified organized design that: (A) Incorporates open space with solar exposure, such as interior courtyards or on-site natural areas as a unifying element; and W Provides walkways that connect the entries of each of the multi -family buildings. (2) Patios and Balconies. All ground -floor units in buildings containing six (6) or more units shall be provided with a patio directly accessible from the unit. All units about ground -floor level shall be provided with a balcony directly accessible from the unit. Covered private balconies, porches, decks or patios may be used to meet up to fifty percent (50%) of the required common area. (3) Common Areas. Multifamily developments with at least six (6) residential units shall provide four hundred (400) square feet of private common area for each unit. This includes landscaped courtyards or decks, front porches, gardens with pathways, children's play areas or other multi-purpose recreational and/or green spaces. (4) Building Design. Multi -family buildings shall be designed to provide human scale, interest and variety. Buildings shall consider changes in vertical and/or horizontal articulation, fenestration, building materials, architectural style and/or roof design. The following techniques should be considered along all facades facing a street, common open space and common parking areas: Repeating distinctive window patterns. Emphasis of building entries through projecting or recessed forms, detail, color or materials. Variation of material, material modules, expressed joints and details, surface relief, color and texture to break up large building forms and walls surfaces. Such detailing could include sills, headers, belt courses, reveals and window bays. (iv) Variation in building form, including, bay windows, shifts in massing or distinctive rooflines consisting of a cornice, banding, parapet wall or other architectural termination. (v) Structural offsets from the principal plane of the facade. Residential Parking Location and Layout. (1) Multi -Family Developments: Garage entries, carports, parking areas and parking structures shall be internalized in building groupings or oriented away from street frontage. Parking areas and freestanding parking structures (detached garages or carports) shall not occupy more than thirty percent (30%) of each perimeter public street frontage of a multi -family development. Above -grade parking structures that are visible from perimeter public streets shall be sited so that the narrow end of the parking structure is perpendicular to the perimeter street. (iv) Detached garages and carports shall incorporate compatible materials, scale, colors, architectural details and roof slopes similar to those of the primary multi -family buildings. (v) Rear walls of detached garages over forty (40) feet in length that back onto the perimeter street or adjacent property lines shall be articulated through the use of window openings or other similar techniques. (vi) Temporary structures are not permitted. (2) Single -Family and Duplex Residence Garages: Front -loading (street -oriented) garage doors shall either recess behind the front fagade of the dwelling portion of the structure or a front porch or recess beneath a second floor bay. Side -loaded garages shall provide windows or other architectural details that are consistent with or complement the features of the living portion of the dwelling on the side of the garage facing the street. The use of alley or side -loaded garages or the use of a combination of these garage orientations is required where feasible. Mixed -Use and Nonresidential Design Standards. (1) Purpose. The mixed-use and nonresidential design standards are intended to protect and preserve the quality and character of the built environment in the Town. More specifically, the purposes of this Section are to: Encourage high quality development as a strategy for investing in the Town's future; Emphasize the Town's unique community character while maintaining and enhancing the quality of life for the Town's citizens; Enhance the Town's sense of place by shaping the appearance, aesthetic quality and spatial form of structures and developments; (vi) Protect and enhance property values; (v) Minimize negative impacts of development on the natural environment; (vi) Provide property owners, developers, architects, builders, business owners and others with a clear and equitable set of parameters for developing land; Encourage a pedestrian -friendly and bicyclist -friendly environment; (viii) Ensure greater public safety, convenience and accessibility through the physical design and location of land use activities; and (ix) Promote both the sustainability of the structure and the overall community. (2) Applicability. The design standards in this Section apply to all mixed-use, commercial and industrial structures as provided in Section 7.28.010, Purpose and Applicability. (3) Site Layout and Design. Buildings shall be oriented to positively define and frame adjacent public streets and/or public or common spaces, while promoting the collective form of neighborhoods by: Building Orientation. (A) Buildings shall reinforce the street edges and create pedestrian -scaled open spaces. Buildings on corner lots should be designed to positively define and frame the public area of both streets they front. a Building fronts and entries shall be oriented toward streets or public plazas and should be arranged to create courtyards and other human -scaled spaces designed to maximize solar access and exposure. (C) Ground floors of new buildings shall be at grade or elevated above grade. Ground -floor residential uses should be raised above adjacent sidewalks. Under no circumstances shall a building be sunken below grade. Outparcels. Outparcels and their buildings shall be clustered in order to define street edges, entry points and intimate spaces for gathering or seating between buildings. The even dispersal or outparcel sites in a widely spaced pattern along streets is strongly discouraged. Spaces between buildings on out parcels shall provide small-scale pedestrian amenities such as plazas, seating areas, pedestrian connections, gathering spaces or well -landscaped parking areas. Parking. Parking shall be located behind buildings, underground or at the interior of the lot. Surface parking areas are prohibited between the front facade of the building and the street. Interior parking areas shall be connected with adjacent sites to the maximum extent practicable. (iv) Common Spaces. Mixed-use and nonresidential development shall incorporate on-site indoor and outdoor common spaces or community amenities as visible, accessible, focal points. Common spaces shall be connected, to the maximum extent practicable, to pedestrian areas, sidewalks, trails or public open space in order to create functional pedestrian connectors. (A) The following features may be used to satisfy the common space or community amenity standard: (1) Patio or plaza with seating and landscaping; (2) Landscaped mini -park or square; (3) Rooftop or community garden; or (4) Similar features as approved by the Director. a Common spaces and community amenities shall be constructed of materials that are of a comparable quality and be of a compatible design as the building they are attached to or the public space in which they are placed. (C) Common spaces and community amenities shall be designed to minimize potential conflicts with snow management operations and ensure pedestrian safety by: (1) Limiting grade changes where possible; and (2) Using ramps instead of stairs, where possible, where a change in grade is necessary. (4) Building Layout and Design: Building Design. Building design shall be appropriate to the site and a positive element in the architectural character of Avon. Without prescribing a specific architectural style or organization, buildings should provide a sense of proportion and visual balance. New development in Town Core shall maintain a high interaction between pedestrians and the activities inside the buildings at ground level. Four-sided Design. The rear and side elevations of new buildings that are visible from public spaces and adjacent buildings shall be designed with equal care and quality as the front or principal face. If a blank wall cannot be avoided, it shall be detailed, painted or landscaped in a manner that renders the wall attractive to pedestrians. Compatible Design. (A) All buildings within a development, including freestanding and accessory buildings, shall be organized around an architectural theme in terms of the character, materials, texture, color and scale of buildings. Themed restaurants, retail chains and other franchise -style architecture shall adjust their standard architectural model to be compatible with a development's architectural character. M Architectural features which create compatible design include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Overhangs; (2) Canopies or porticos; (3) Recesses/projections; (4) Arcades; (5) Raised corniced parapets over the entrance; (6) Peaked roof forms; (7) Arches; (8) Outdoor patios; (g) Tower elements (at strategic locations); (10) Display windows; (11) Integral planters that incorporate landscaped areas or seating areas; and (12) Public art/sculptures. (iv) Mixed -Use Buildings in Town Core. To encourage appropriate commercial and mixed-use development in the Town Core, any portion of a new mixed -used building with street frontage floor area located on E. Beaver Creek Boulevard, Lettuce Shed Lane, Benchmark Road or Main Street must be occupied by retail, personal service and restaurant uses, as listed in Table 7.24-1. All ground -floor commercial space must be at least twelve (12) feet in height as measured from finished floor elevation to finished ceiling. (v) Scale and Massing. (A) Organize the form and mass of a building to provide human scale to adjacent streets, pedestrian walkways, plazas or other public spaces. Building mass shall be varied to create variety in the character of the adjacent streets and pedestrian places. a Buildings greater than two stories or thirty (30) feet in height shall be designed to reduce apparent mass and visually anchor the building to the site by including a clearly identifiable base, body and top, with horizontal elements separating these components. (C) Break the linear aspects of a building with architectural features, such as: (1) Variations in roof form and parapet heights; (2) Pronounced recesses and projections; (3) Wall plane off -sets; (4) Distinct changes in texture and color of wall surfaces; (5) Ground level arcades and second floor galleries/balconies; a Protected and recessed entries; and (7) Vertical accents or focal points. IN Where primary building walls exceed three (3) stories or forty-five (45) feet in height, as measured from finished grade to the underside of the eaves, building form shall step back at least eight (8) feet in depth and shall generally occur between twelve (12) feet and forty-five (45) feet above the finished grade, depending on the height of the structure and the surrounding development context. (1) Where large variations in topography exist (e.g., a building is backed up to an adjacent hillside) or where other unique site constraints exist, alternatives to the building massing and height configurations required above may be approved. (2) Taller structures may require multiple step -backs or variations in building massing and height in order to meet the objectives stated above. (vi) Development Transitions. The successful fit of a project into an existing context depends on how it relates to neighboring buildings in terms of setbacks, height, massing, scale, arrangement of shared and private open space and landscaping. New developments shall provide a development transition using an appropriate combination of the following techniques: (A) Wrapping the ground floor with a building element or integrated architectural feature (e.g., pedestrian arcade) that is the same height as the adjacent structure; or a Graduating building height and mass in the form of building step -backs or other techniques so that new structures have a comparable scale with existing structures; or (C) Orienting porches, balconies and other outdoor living spaces away from the shared property line to protect the privacy of adjacent residents where applicable. (vii) Storefronts and Pedestrian Entrances. (A) The first floor of all new buildings shall provide: a pedestrian -friendly environment, with human -scale and natural building materials; extensive storefront windows for display and views into the business; and access directly from adjacent sidewalks. When transparency is in conflict with internal functions of the building, other means shall be used to activate the street -facing facades, such as public art, architectural ornamentation or details or color patterns. (C) To encourage activity along the building frontage, entrances shall be located at intervals of a maximum of thirty-two (32) feet. The primary access to retail spaces on Benchmark Road, Main Street and W. Beaver Creek Boulevard shall be from the sidewalk. (E) New buildings should relate to the public space through architectural frontages that provide direct access into them and a transition between their private space and public streetscape. (1) New buildings shall be designed with frontages that activate the street by providing direct access to ground -floor commercial spaces. (2) To the maximum extent feasible, the principal building entrance shall face an adjacent public street, public plaza or primary public walkway. In cases where the principal entrance does not face the principal street, the entrance shall be connected to the street and adjacent parking areas with a sidewalk. (F) In order to ensure that building entrances are welcoming to pedestrians, easily identifiable and accessible from streets and sidewalks, primary entries shall be clearly visible from the street and accentuated from the overall building facade by: (1) Differentiated roof, awning or portico; (2) Covered walkways or arcades; (3) Projecting or recessed entries from the surrounding building facade; (4) Detailed doors and doorways with transoms, sidelights, trim details and/or framing; (5) Windows within doorways equivalent in size to fifty percent (50%) of door surface area; and a Decorative nighttime lighting where appropriate. (G) Secondary entrances shall have minor architectural detailing that adds visual interest to that portion of the facade. (H) Public doors and entryways shall be a combination of glass and metal or wood or solid wood. (viii) Building Materials. The means and methods of construction of new buildings should contribute to their durability, usefulness and compatibility. In addition to the general requirements of Paragraph 7.28.090(c)(3), the following regulations shall apply to exterior walls on mixed-use and nonresidential structures. W Durability of Materials. Materials should be used that have a long life and age well. Materials at the ground floor should be composed and detailed in a manner that enriches the pedestrian experience. Authentic materials are encouraged. Faux or fake materials are prohibited. New materials, such as architectural composite panels, should not imitate other materials, but should reflect their own identity. Masonry and stone veneer. Masonry and stone veneer walls should be detailed as masonry -bearing walls, especially at corners, windows and door openings. (C) Synthetic materials. The use of synthetic materials is discouraged unless they can be shown to display the ability to age in a manner similar to or superior to the natural materials they replace. IN Trim and molding. Building walls should be trimmed in wood, stone, cast stone, precast concrete or concrete. Foam moldings are discouraged. (E) Multiple materials. Two (2) or more wall materials may be combined on one (1) facade, but should be located one above the other with lighter materials above more substantial materials (e.g., wood above stucco or masonry or stucco above masonry). (F) Color. Materials and finishes should be composed to provide balanced designs that are appropriate to each style and context. In general, large areas of bright colors should be avoided, although strong accent colors can be successfully used. (G) Overhanging Eaves. Due to continual exposure to weathering, all components of overhanging eaves should be constructed of durable materials and properly detailed to provide protection from the elements. (H) Drainage. Exposed metal flashing, gutters, downspouts or other building appurtenances must be made of copper, galvanized steel, iron or painted aluminum, applied and fastened in a high-quality manner. When painted, these elements must be finished with baked enamel paint, epoxy paint or a silicon - modified alloy. Exterior Elements. Exterior elements, such as porches, trellises, awnings, hand rails and balconies, should be designed in a manner that is consistent with the architectural language of the rest of the building as well as with each other, and should be detailed to last. Finishes and Fixtures. Finishes and fixtures, as well as other architectural details, should be consistent with the architectural language of the project. (ix) Roofs. Roofs will serve to define scale. In addition to the general requirements of Paragraph 7.28.090(c)(4), the following regulations shall apply to the roofs on mixed-use and nonresidential structures: (A) The use of dormers (shed, peaked, eyebrow, etc.) is required to help break up large expanses of roof, to enhance the usability of attic spaces and to add visual interest. Secondary dormers and roof elements shall be proportional to scale and style. a All primary roofs and secondary shed roofs shall have pitches of no less than four -to -twelve (4:12). (C) Overhangs are required on pitched roofs. The minimum overhang length (measured from the point where the wall meets the roof) is eighteen (18) inches for structures two (2) stories or less. For structures between three (3) and four (4) stories the minimum overhang shall be twenty-four (24) inches. For structures exceeding four (4) stories, the minimum overhang length shall be thirty-six (36) inches for primary roofs. M Flat roofs are discouraged, except for limited roof areas for the location of concealed mechanical equipment or for architectural effect. (E) Roofs shall be varied and articulated; however, valleys and complex roof forms are a potential source of ice build-up and water damage and shall be used carefully and sparingly. (F) Roofs shall be proportional to the height and scale of the various building elevations. The primary roofs and upper portion of the walls shall be articulated so as to minimize their visual impact on surrounding properties, which may include such measures as the introduction of decks and the lowering of rooflines. (G) In the Town Center, unglazed concrete, copper, metal or terne-coated steel are acceptable roof materials. Wood shake shingles are prohibited. Asphalt and fiberglass are generally discouraged. Tile and metal roofs shall be a dull finish or patina naturally overtime and be muted to fit within the context of the overall building design. (x) Windows: (A) Openings shall be designed to contribute to the image and form of new buildings. a All buildings on Main Street, Benchmark Road, Lettuce Shed Lane and E. Beaver Creek Boulevard shall incorporate a storefront design with a large display window or windows of clear glass, bulkheads, recessed entries (where appropriate), transom windows and suitable locations for signs at their ground levels. Modern and creative design solutions may be employed as long as storefront proportions are referenced. Multiple storefronts within the same building should be visually compatible in terms of scale, alignment, color and materials. (C) Upper floors shall be differentiated through the use of more solid areas than voids and with smaller vertically oriented windows in a regular pattern. Windows should reflect a rhythm, scale and proportion compatible with the overall building design. IN Aluminum, steel, painted wood or clad wood windows are permitted in all commercial areas. Mirrored glass, snap -in muntins, glass curtain walls and other assemblies which are clearly out of character with the Town Center are prohibited. Decks and Balconies. Where possible, balconies and decks shall be located to take advantage of solar exposure and shall be used in combination with bay windows and other exterior projections. Long, linear balconies such as those that might appear on a common motel are prohibited. (5) Parking Structures: To the maximum extent feasible, ground floor of parking structures shall be wrapped with retail storefronts or residential uses to provide visual interest and to create pedestrian activity at the street level. Where the feasibility of wrapping parking structures with retail storefronts or residential uses is limited to a portion of the overall structure, active uses shall be focused along those facades adjacent to or most visible from major pedestrian walkways. Exposed portions of underground parking structures shall be faced with base -level materials used on the active portions of the building above the parking structure. (iv) Facades of single -use parking structures (e.g., no retail or residential) shall be articulated through the use of three (3) or more of the following architectural features: (A) Windows or window -shaped openings; (B) Masonry columns; (C) Decorative wall inserts or projections; (D) Awnings; (E) Balconies; (F) Changes in color or texture of materials; or (G) Integrated landscape planters. (v) To the maximum extent feasible, parking structures shall be designed to significantly screen or buffer views of parked cars from surrounding properties through the use of architectural screens and other features. (vi) Parking structures shall be oriented to provide pedestrian access to adjacent public walkways, public buildings and public plazas; however, to avoid pedestrian/vehicle conflicts, placing major access points along the area's primary street network shall be avoided where an alternate access point is possible. (Ord. 13-14 §2; Ord. 10-14 §3) • 7.28.100 - Natural resource protection. (a) Steep Slopes. (1) Purpose. The purpose of this Subsection is to: Prevent soil erosion and landslides; Protect the public by preventing or regulating development in locations with steep slopes; Provide safe circulation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic to and within hillside areas and provide access for emergency vehicles necessary to serve the hillside areas; (iv) Encourage only minimal grading that relates to the natural contour of the land and reduce necessity of retaining walls; (v) Discourage mass grading of large pads and excessive terracing; and (vi) Require revegetation and reclamation of slopes disturbed during development. (2) Applicability. The standards in this Section shall apply to all new development, with the exception of administrative and minor subdivisions and all other subdivision, PUD and rezoning processes that do not result in an increase in density. (3) Standards. Development subject to these standards shall comply with the following standards: Development on natural slopes of forty percent (40%) or greater is prohibited. Grading Permits. No grading, excavation or tree/vegetation removal shall be permitted, whether to provide for a building site, for on-site utilities or services or for any roads or driveways, prior to issuance of a building permit in accordance with a grading and excavation plan and report for the site approved by the Town Engineer. Open Space. One hundred percent (100%) of areas with a slope greater than forty percent (40%) shall remain in natural private or public open space, except as expressly allowed in this Section. This area may be credited toward open space requirements and minimum lot area requirements. (iv) Minimum Lot Size. Where a lot contains a natural slope area of greater than thirty percent (30%) that is larger than two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, the lot shall be a minimum of one (1) acre in size with a minimum street frontage of one hundred fifty (150) linear feet. Lots shall not be mass -graded to avoid this provision. (v) Limits on Graded or Filled Manmade Slopes. W Grading of slopes to twenty-five percent (25%) or less is greatly encouraged wherever possible. ;0) Graded or filled manmade slopes shall not exceed a slope of fifty percent (50%). (C) Cut man-made surfaces or slopes shall not exceed a slope between twenty-five percent (25%) and fifty percent (50%) unless it is substantiated, on the basis of a site investigation and submittal of a soils engineering or geotechnical report prepared and approved by the Town Engineer, that a cut at a steeper slope will be stable and will not create a hazard to public or private property. on Bedrock which is exposed in a cut slope may exceed the maximum cut slope. The cut surface of the bedrock should be "sculptured" to create an irregular profile which approximates natural rock outcroppings on the site. Planting pockets may be created in the sculptured rock for grasses and forbs. (E) All cut, filled and graded slopes shall be re-contoured to the natural, varied contour of the surrounding terrain pursuant to Paragraph (xii)(F) below and Section 7.28.050, Landscaping. 0 K�l kqtlkor CONSULTANTS DE, TMN-GTITDU architecture -planning .T= R.

They can serve the prospective homeowner, designer or developer in arriving at design decisions which are responsive to both the needs of an individual building project as well as the objectives of the total development. ndldri..dge is a uni.cgrae enviroranent endowed with those natural attributes not often found in land developments. High open ridges at 8,000 feet with aspen groves, natural rock outcroppings, horizons of the high Rocky Mbmtains, sunshine, clean air and clear skys all fora the ingredients of that environment. It is of prime importance to the continued aesthetic and ecological duality of Wildrid;e that all structures and landscaping are compatible with one another and in harmony with the natal surroundings. AREA CHARACTERISTICS :vildridge is located in the Town of Avon in the i"varth Central Colorado Rocky I'buntains approximately ten miles west of Vail, Colorado. TOPOGRAPHY Elevations within the project range from 7,740 feet to 8,930 feet above sea level.. Topographically the site is dominated by sharply defined north -south trending ridges and valleys which result in a predominance of building sites with east, south or westerly orientations. Building sites range from gently sloping meadows and ridge lines to valley =.calls with slopes from 30.? to 40%. VEGETATION Sage, native grasses and forbes dcmimate the 4ildridge site with only occasional small stands of oak brush, mountain mahogany or aspen., 4reas disturbed by construction of roads and utilities are being re -vegetated with native grasses and forbes by the developer, 1 W iN D Prevailing winds are westerly with Gusts above 25 M.P.H. Gentle, warm, dry breezes dominate the summer months, stronger breezes occur in the spring and fall, and winter winds bring some blowing and drifting of srcw. PRECIPITATION Precipitation averages 18 inches a year, primarily in Lhe form of snM' falling from October to April, TEMPERAT"URE Temperatures in winter vary widely: daytime temperatures can range from 15 degrees F. below zero to 50 degrees above; night temperatures can range from an extreme of 40 degrees below zero to 30 degrees above. S--amvr temperatures vary widely also, with possibility of frost occuring in every rmnth; daytim temrperatures may be in the nineties with night time temperatures in the sixties with occasional lows near freezing. Skies are sunny and clear throughout must of the year, GEOLOGY The site is underlain with sedimentary bedrock covered by a mantle of sandy to silty clay soils of moderate all alinitsy. these soils range in depti from a few inches to an estimated 15 to 20 feet in sczae areas. The bedrock is laminated and thinly bedded such that the upper portions should be rippable with some areas of harder limestones and sandstones requiring light blasting to facilitate excavation. BUILDING SITES The siting of individual structJres on the landscape can enhance or detract from the cohesiveness of the total development. These recommendations will address specific physiographic relationships which are to be found in Vildridge. The basic relationships 4 ich have been determined to most influence structure siting are related to site slope, vegetative cover and the prominence of a building site as it is viLmed frcm other areas within the developement. 2 There are lots within the development which present unique opportunities for the individual builder because of access, orientation, view, etc. [chile these lots present the essence of Wildridge for the individual homeowner they also present the potential for the compromise of those sane goals Eor o hers . R I D G E S Those lots which have been placed on "visible" ridges present the most sensitive siting considerations, particularly where natural vegetation is minimal. Buildings placed on "risible" ridges =.,,here they break the skyline as viei ed from other lots it-hin the development break the natural landforms and therefore compromise dramatic viec,rs. Buildings placed with roof lines below t: -ie brow of the ridge or below the height of a vegetative screen will preserve the continuity of the total site. 3 BUILDILNG ON S L 0 P E S Within concentrated areas of development the visual impact of an individual structure on neighborin; hoaeos�ners is inevitable. Mile architectural guidelines have been established to promote an aesthetic compatibility of all structures throughout the developreit each project should be revi.eued with consideration as to potential attenuation of view. Building sites within Wildridge have varying degrees of slope, 'here are a mz.-ber of design alternatives which may be employed by the designer to accommdate site slope. The objective should be to fit the building or access drive to the existing landform, minimi-7ing their visual impacts. The structure should conform to the natural landform. Excessive cut and fill or stilts shouid be avoided. The structure should be stepped with the landform avoiding large areas of exposted foundation or the necessity for excessive cut and fill, 4 Y s -40 p7/d f SLOPES M -2G% Sites with slopes less than 2TI. present no significant buildir-ga, and vehicular access problens. These sites should maintain 25` front yard setbacks or greater. SLOPES 207a-30'; S ites with slopes greater than 2077. and less than 307. may require a 10 foot minis= front yard setback for the garage. 2xis trill allow the garage to be as close to the road as possible thereby reducing the amount of cut and fill necessary for driveE,av access. The garage may be attached or seperate from the residence, however the residence shall maintain a 25` front yard setback. 7.0' ,garage setback 25` house setback attached or detached garage SLCPF-S 30'/-40'1 Where building sites exceed 30°; and are less than 40% the residence should maintain a front yard setback of 15 feet. Parking may be accommodated either over or beneath the residence or in desig=nated or defined areas within the lot, 'those str=wres proposed for sites in excess of 30"„ slope shall be designed by a licensed architect.

The landscape section constains specific recommendations as to revegeration. Where structures are to be sited in wooded areas care should be taken to maintain vegetation on the north and west sides of the building where it will act as a wind screen. tikiere possible evergreens should be used for this purpose as they hold their foliage through the winter. Deciduous trees should be rzaintained or introduced on the south side of a sturcture in that they allow the Penetration of sun in the w nter and provide shade in the summer. 14iere passible, building sites or road, aligrrants should not be located in the transition zone between a wooded area and an open area. The transition zone is an i=ortant feature of wildlife habitat as well as a unique feature visually. : here the siting of a buAding or road in the transition zone is necessary}, vegetation should be introduced to create a naw transition zone.

V r? nn-" ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES ORIENTATIOiv Orientation of structures on individual building sites should relate to general site characteristics. Cmiprat-se of sane characteristics will be regai.red by some sites, however Aldridge generally .gas south facing slopes which relate to both solar orientation and distant views. This diagram visually displays the major site orientations that should be considered 4ien designing buildings in Wildridge Gr.CG't'Y} I best long views and the best solar orientation are to the southh with south-east and south -rest orientations also being good. forth facing views are shorter and into the :Main. The optimum orientation for a structure will provide sunlight, winter rr,ind protection and view. Cn the Wildridge sites, the best overall orientation in most cases is toward the south-east. 10 BUILDING M A S S I N G Buildings located on non -treed lots will be highly visible and require ►rare control of scale, massing, and materials, Structures, to the ectent possible, should be rucked into the earth to present a low profile. Roof lines of buildings on open, non -treed sites should run with the slope of the land. A, Articulate building plans in response to sloping sites to reduce building scale and create spatial variety. 11 Articulate vertical messing rather than creating unbroken vextical masses to help reduce scale and create spatial variety. WIND EFFECTS s4inds are most prevelant in the spring and fall titen their cooling effects are of little importance and are aggrevating to outdoor activities. Minter FAxids increase heat loss from structures especially e%hen building openings are oriented toward the north.. On open, rum -treed sites, the effect of winds will be rrucrt more prevelant, Buildings should be designed to allow winds to slide over the structures rather than "stop" the wind, BUILD ING MATERIALS & ELEMENTS A strong comrnmit-j image and sense of place can best be created for Wildridge by encouraging the architec=e of private residences to be understated; not competing with other residences or public Esse buildings. public or com=ity buildings and natural Land features should be the focal mint of Wildridge. Building materials and colors should be those that blend with the indigenous character of the area, The use of artificial materials will be disca,.xaged and the use of color should be consistent with the natural earth tones of the site. U -ie following building design elements are established as guidelines to assure a continuity of building character, 12 The use of gray or brown stone for exposed fourxiations, fireplaces, and other heavy structural support elements will be encouraged. No concrete block is to be e:,—,osed to the exterior. Stonework should be irregular material Zayed un -coursed. F=L =TIC N iZAIIS Concrete foundation halls should be covered, More than 18" of exposed concrete wall will not be permitted. E=OR SIDE GS The use of nacura:l «od sidirg for exterior malls and trim will be encouraged. Ply,rod and wood -shake siding are not acceptable, Metal, masonite and asbestos are evzTles of :urn -mood sidings that are not acceptable. Log structures are to be allowed only on heavily tree covered lots. 13 EX=OR SDR All color applied W exterior %Dod surfaces shall be semi -transparent shins that allow the grain of the uuod to show through. The color of these stains shall be earth tones indigenous to the site and shall be one of the following colors. (Colors listed are for Olympic semi. -transparent stains. Other matching semi. -transparent stains are acceptable) - Basic structure colors: 900, 901, 902, 904, 906, 908, 909, 911, 914, 915, 917 and 918. 'trim colors: (limited to 1077. of the structure) any of the colors listed for the basic structure but deeper in value. RDCF FACIA -All buildings shall have wood roof facia boards of 12 inches or deepen. tf rf • ��� Rcof materials shall be red cedar shakes or sod only, Sod roofs shall pitch as required for drainage but shall tie to earth grade on at least one side. 14 ROOF PITCHES 101 +fin open/non-tree covered sites roof pitches shall approximate slope of the natural conwLm . The ridge of the roof shall run perpendicular to the slope. Roof pitches an tree covered lots are not as visable and therefore do not have to approximate the slope of the grctmd. A 3.12 roof sloe_ e is the minimum for shake roofs, The ridge of a roof shall not occur at a vertical wall. The roof surface shall counter pitch from the ridge a rrrl� distance of four feet, as illustrated. 15 S O L A R C 0 1, S I D D R A T 1 0 N S the use of passive solar design principles should be encouraged for all structures in Wildridge. Solar orientation in most uses is EKceilent and the climate allows a high return on cost invested when compared to many areas of the country. winter sun is at an angle of 28 degrees December 21st at moon. Proper window ation and size will allow deep sum penetration o the house. summer sum is at an angle of 74 degrees .Tune 21st at noon and proper overhangs r south facing E indows gill restrict or minate sun penetration into the house. 16 When designing g the plant of a residence the following considerations for roam arrangement sh3uld be followed.

Entrance doors should be sealed tightly to prevent heat loss and heat gain. Air locks can prevent Large air exchanges and reduce heat loss due to infiltration. Air locks or vestibules can be used for unheated storage or as mid rooms. Air locks are most effective *when placed On the south or east sides of buildings. Wing -wells should be incorporated with air- locks on north and ,est sides of the building, The use of mass within a building is important for the storage of heat. G By virtue of their mass, all materials have the ability to store heat, Certain materials such as stone can store Large amounts of heat. 18 #sive materials can be used most effectively to moderate interior temperature if placed within the structure rather than outside of the struc=e. f i� Cis In winter the mass or heat sink absorbs heat daring the day when air temperature is greater than the mass temperature. I&en the room air temperature drops below the mass temerature heat is radiated back into the roan. This principle may be applied to floor surfaces as well as walls. rWall and roof cons truc tion should be desired to -��; rr�; ze heat loss. 19 A plastic vapor barrier positioned on decrease air penetration and heat loss. the ',,*=," side of the gall and ceiling will significantly =f,ec.-rte' �Ici -�rrrn r e f Score design considerations that will result in energy conservation. OA thermal resistance value of R30 should be a mininxm standard for insulation in roofs. ()A thermal resistance value of R19 should be a minim n standard for the insulation in the floor above basements, garages, and crawl spaces. GA thermal resistance value of R16 should be a u=un_un standard for insulation in outside *scalls. Upper portions of walls are particularly important. (gInsulating glass consisting of t=oo or more panels with dead air space betDmen each panel should be used. 20 QWindow area should be kept to a minim n m all sides Eccept the south. (E)Insulated window coverixags, wftich can be closed at night and when the building is not in use, can greatly reduce energy loss. (]Window sashes with thermal breaks shmild be used to reduce llinzt loss. LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES LANDSCAPE GUIDELINE Plant material st-Duld be used to reduce �:e visual daninance of structures and man induced elenents such, as buildings, retaining =,ails, fences, road cuts, and automobiles. Landscape improvements wia.ich are reflective of r -he area's mountain characteristics should dantinate tie architecture of Wildridge, Trees introduced in, homesite landscaping are to be material predominately consistent *+rich the character of the native mountain landscape. ( See plant list.) Plants used for accent or to achieve spatial design considerations my be adapted non-native saterial. (See plant list for approved accent plant material.) Vegetation may be introduced for the purpose of erosion control, visual screening, or scale reduction in the large landscape. Qlxrigated lawn areas utilizing native and adapted non-native plants may be maintained an slopes less than 25% (4.1). Where lawn areas are established they shall have an automatic irrigation System. 21 QUndisturbed native stands of sage brush, grasses, and forbes may be maintained if t1hey are in large areas. Small areas tend to look unkept or neglected. QStands of native gambles oak, aspen or spruce may be incorporated into an irrigated lawn to recall or support the visual image of the su rrroun-�ding plant comm rn i ty , MIN [)Small building sites where the majority of the existing native plants are disturbed shD-uld be totally re-vegerated as specified by the plant material list- OBuilding sites sloping in excess of 25'Q (4:1) shall be ILrated to a maximun of 3,000 square feet of irrigated area �,iich shall be cort4 ous to structures on site, QPlanting outside of defined irrigated areas shall be limited to native species compatible to the imriediately surrc ending plant comity (e -ampler aspen and spruce she ruld not be introduced on sage brush and grass hill sides outside of the defined, irrigated area } QLrrigated landscape areas should be defined frcm native vegetation areas by timber, stone ;call, or edging elennents. Q Plant materials in irrigated areas can help subordinate structures to the landscape and lessen their visual impact. 22 QThe building pad, foundation excavation and cut and fill for driveways small be designed to minimize ze disruption of existing trees and =- cover. C)On tree covered lots minimax. Chinning of e:sisting trees may be allowed to improve distant views and solar gain, SITE IMPROVEMENT GUIDELINES OThe maxiiaxn grade for a cut or fill slope in severe circtmstances shall be 1 112' horizontal to 1' vertical. The prefered maxis n slope for areas of cut and fill *where re -vegetation is necessary is 2' horizontal to 1' vertical... QThe maxirm slope length for severe cut or fill slopes shall be: 1 1/2:1 through 2:1 maxian slope length = 20 feet 2:1 through 3:1 maximm slope length = 30 feet ()Bedrock which is exposed in a cut slope :gay Exceed the maximm 1 1/2 : 1 cut slope. Tine cut surface of the bedrock should be "sculptured" to create an irregular profile which approximtes natural rock outcropings on the site. Planting pockets inay be created in the "sculptured" rock for grasses and forties, 23 0 Slope rounding creates a wre natural appearing slope configuration and promotes rapid re -vegetation at the fringe of disturbed areas. OALI topsoil should be salvaged from disturbed areas and respread prior to re -vegetation. :there possible existing sagebrush and grasses should be i=orporated with stripped and respread top sail. OVegetative remains of sagebrush, gambles, oak roots, and native grasses will serve as nursery stock for new plants. f J% 24 RETAINING' STRUCTURES Retaining st: uctures should be used where cut and fill slopes will exceed the msxian ij,=ts and to reduce: total site disturbance.
