The property is located northeast of the Swift Gulch/Post Boulevard roundabout, and a road is currently being constructed immediately south of the processing area proposed. The subject property is zoned PUD and is located within Planning Area J of the Village at Avon PUD Development Plan listed as "Regional/Neighborhood Commercial and Residential Mixed Use Project." According to the PUD, "Rock and gravel crushing operations related to rock and gravel materials excavated within The Village (at Avon) PUD requires approval of a Special Review Use" in accordance with the review and approval process set forth in Section E of the PUD. Section E of the PUD outlines the process of submittal to Town Staff, and presentation to PZC for review of the SRU permit. After a public hearing the PZC will consider the review criteria contained within this Staff Report. Section E of Village (at Avon) PUD — SRU Review Criteria A Special Review Use application must be reviewed with the following criteria as a basis for decision: (a) Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all requirements imposed by the Development Plan; Staff Response: The "Development Plan" is defined by the Village (at Avon) PUD as the PUD Guide and Development Agreement documents collectively. The Application and proposed use is in conformance with all other PUD Guide requirements and stipulations of the Development Agreement. If the Applicant wishes to change the scope or location of the rock crushing operation, compliance with PUD Guide Section 5: Amendments to Special Review Use Permit must be followed. It should be noted that PZC may authorize administrative approval of modifications to a SRU permit if desired. (b) Whether the proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses. Such compatibility may be expressed in appearance, architectural scale and features, site design, and control of any adverse impacts including noise, dust, odor, lighting, traffic, safety and other similar Development Standards; Staff Response: The surrounding area is compatible with adjacent (vacant/undeveloped) land uses. The job site is secure and being developed in a safe manner without impact to neighboring properties. A similar rock crushing operation took place in 2013 without any compatibility issues experienced. Staff is recommending strict adherence to allowable construction hours and dust mitigation practices to ensure compatibility. November 18, 2014 PZC Meeting — Case #SRU14002 (c) Any significant adverse impacts (including, but not limited to, hours of operation, traffic generation, lighting, noise, odor, dust, and other external impacts) anticipated to result from the use will be mitigated or offset to the maximum extent practicable; Staff Response: As mentioned, hours of operation will be in compliance with the municipal code and dust suppression will be maintained. In terms of traffic, hauling of materials will be to other areas of the property owners' north of Interstate 70 without using Town roadways. No lighting or odor impacts will occur. The Applicant is currently operating under a grading plan to construct East Swift Gulch Road, and associated utilities. A reclamation plan was been reviewed and disturbed areas will be revegetated upon completion of the roadway project. Runoff from exposed disturbed land is being treated on site with erosion control measures. (d) Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas, electricity, police and fire protection, and roads and transportation, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service for existing development; and Staff Response: This criteria is not applicable. The Applicant is utilizing water trucks and no impacts to facilities or services should be experienced. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the PZC approve Case #SRU15002 approving a SRU permit for Rock and gravel crushing operations related to rock and gravel materials excavated within The Village (at Avon) PUD. Findings: 1. The Application was reviewed in accordance with the Village (at Avon) PUD requirements and found to be in compliance with the applicable review considerations. 2. The proposed use is limited in both size and scope, and any possible impacts will be minimal or mitigated as agreed by the Applicant. Conditions• 1. Hours of Operation must be in compliance with Section 8.24.085 of the Avon Municipal Code. 2. The area may not be enlarged unless approved by the PZC. 3. Reclamation of the area after processing will occur as approved by the Grading Permit associated with East Swift Gulch Road construction. 4. Permit is valid through 2016; at which time re -review by PZC will be required. Recommended Motion "I move to approve the Special Review Use permit proposed in Case #SRU15002, with the conditions and findings in Matt Pielsticker's Staff Report."

Legal description Applicable to Wildridge Subdivision, Town of Avon Owner NSA Zoning Wildridge PUD Address NSA Prepared By Brian Garner, Town Planner Summary Development pressure within the Wildridge subdivision has prompted a number of discussions with Town Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission questioning the adequacy of current development regulations. Of particular concern are PUD amendment applications that result in lot splits and change the building type from a duplex (or more attached units) to single -family -detached units. It has been determined through these discussions that the current development regulations are mostly satisfactory, but additional criteria would be beneficial to mitigate impacts to adjacent property and the environment. Among the changes shown herein, a new category specific to PUD amendment applications that result in lot splits in Wildridge is prescribed to better address the specific needs of that environment. PUD amendment proposals will need to address specific site characteristics unique to the Wildridge neighborhood to demonstrate that a development proposal is not more impactful than development proposed under the existing site allowance. The language is intended to provide the Planning & Zoning Commission with ample discretion to review proposals on a site -by -site basis. New language and sections are shown in red. Background Benchmark Properties created the Wildridge Subdivision in 1979, shortly after the incorporation of the Town of Avon on February 28, 1978. According to the Wildridge Final Plat application for Wildridge and Wildwood Subdivisions, the overall development concept was for "abundant open space recreation areas around lots" with a density of "barely one dwelling unit per acre". The original Wildridge "Specially Planned Area" (now considered a "PUD") and the accompanying Subdivision plat, were established to offer a diverse range of housing types and options to serve a diverse local population. In 1981, the Wildridge Subdivision was completely replatted with a total of 849 planned development units and is the foundation of the current zoning in Wildridge. Over the years, there have been a number of PUD amendments that alter the defined building type, resulting in lot splits. In most cases, the density has been reduced or resulted in the same number as originally intended.

A proposed amendment to the Wildridge PUD will be considered by the PZC if it meets the following criteria for decision and has been determined as such by the Director: (A) The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the amount of nonresidential land use or significantly alter any approved building scale and mass of development. (B) The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the intent and integrity of the PUD. (C) 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.

Staff Response to Review Criteria The proposed text amendment is intended to promote the health, safety and welfare of the Avon community as well as to reinforce the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan. Changing economic conditions within the community are resulting in a greater demand for single -family - detached homes in lieu of attached units. Therefore, the code text amendment is intended to mitigate impacts to the community when changes to the existing development rights are proposed. Recommendation Staff recommends that the PZC recommend APPROVAL of the proposed code text amendment contained in case #CTA15001.

CTA15001 Wildridge PUD Amendments September 29, 2015 PZC PAGE 3OF4 Should the PZC recommend approval of the Code Text Amendment, the following findings may be used: The Code Text Amendment is intended to mitigate potentially negative impacts to adjacent property from development proposals that seek to change the existing development rights. The Code Text Amendment for a Wildridge-specific PUD amendment process is in the interest of the public health, welfare and safety for the protection of the people of Avon. The Code Text Amendment confers a benefit to the community and the environment by including additional criteria for consideration of approval of a development proposal. CTA15001 Wildridge PUD Amendments September 29, 2015 PZC PAGE 4OF4 Quo n .. L - l: To: Chairman Clancy and Avon Planning and Zoning Commission From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager Date: September 24, 2015 Agenda Topic: Roundabout #4 Center Element Design Background Four (4) artists presented design proposals for the center portion of roundabout #4 at the September 8, 2015 Town Council meeting. These artists were selected as finalists by a Committee composed of Town Staff and artists through a competitive process. The four (4) finalists included: Floyd Elzinga (c/o Art Advisory Services), Frank Swanson, Christopher Weed, and Joshua Wiener. Council was offered the following options: 1) Select artist, and authorize Town Manager to enter into a contract to produce construction documents based on submitted art work. 2) Select artist, and authorize the Town Manger to enter into a contract to produce construction documents based on alternative art piece(s). 3) Re -advertise based on different project budget. 4) Delay project. After fifteen (15) minute presentations the Town Council decided with a 5-2 vote to delay the project; the decision was based on other demands to the capital budget including the public safety facility. Since the September 8, 2015 meeting, the Council discussed this project again and determined that PZC input on this important decision was preferred. At the September 29, 2015 PZC meeting Staff will ask the commissioners to review each proposal and make a recommendation to Council on an artist to work and reconsider pursuing options 1 or 2 listed above. The artists have been informed that this meeting is taking place and are invited but not required to attend. Background As part of the Avon Road landscape, street and Main Street Mall improvements in 2014 and 2015, most of the smaller bronzes along Avon Road were moved to the Main Street Mall to provide opportunities for better interaction and enjoyment. In addition, the large scale and popular Checkmate bronze, which was in Roundabout #4 was determined to be better situated at Possibility Plaza, to bring attention to the entrance of the Main Street Mall. To replace Checkmate in the roundabout, a special installation was commissioned for the 2015 Alpine World Ski Championships to take its place. The 2015 element was approved conditionally by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and is set to be removed not later than June, 2016. RFP In response to the timed approval and with an interest to commission a new piece in roundabout #4 in 2016, staff released an RFP on www.callforentry.org in June for original art design and installation services to replace the 2015 Alpine World Ski Championship piece. A Selection Committee was formed to review the forty (40) plus submittals that were received. The Selection Committee consisted of: September 29, 2015 PZC Meeting Roundabout #4 Councilor Sarah Smith Hymes, Town Manager Virginia Egger, Planning Manager Matt Pielsticker, PZC Commissioners Lindsay Hardy and Tab Bonidy, Pedro Campos with Zehren and Associates, and artist/studio owner Jim Cotter. After a thorough review and much debate, the Selection Committee chose four (4) finalists to prepare original art for roundabout #4: Floyd Elzinga (c/o Art Advisory Services), Frank Swanson, Christopher Weed, and Joshua Wiener. The artists were selected based on experience with similar projects, quality, innovation, and based upon proposers with past experience integrating art into public places of prominence. After selection in July, the finalists were asked to prepare a detailed submittal by August 26th for consideration by Council on September 8th. The artists were also given the following general guidance: • Proposal should reinforce Town Center arrival, with potential wayfinding elements. • Provide entry designs at each road at the roundabout to fully integrate the roundabout into this as Town Center — Avon Road north and south, West and East Benchmark Roads. • Scaled drawings perspectives that show proposal in summer, winter, and nighttime. • Provide views of the roundabout design from all roads listed in the bullet above. To incorporate landscaping and lighting. • The existing stone wall and pedestal can either be incorporated into the design or can be removed at Town's expense. 2015 World Alpine Ski Championship vertical wood elements and footings will be removed at Town's expense. • 'Lasso' art piece that exists on the pedestal today can be incorporated into the design if so desired. • Detailed schedule must be provided, including public process to construction drawings and final installation. • Final budget including line items for: o Design Fees - not to exceed $15,000 o Landscaping o Lighting o Fabrication o Installation • $2,500 will be provided to each finalist upon receipt by the Town of a complete submittal.

Art is an integral part of town planning nationwide as it elevates the guest experience and reinforces a sense of community. Commissioned, site-specific works respond to the environment and have the power to profoundly transform a town. When incorporated as distinguished and unexpected artful objects, artwork exceeds the traditional, decorative function and becomes an interactive conversation with the community. The Town of Avon has the opportunity to build an art program that speaks to the pedestrian on all levels: creating a sense of inspiration and wonder, refining the aesthetic, and encompassing the town's public spaces into one seamless narrative that attracts and inspires outdoor sport and nature enthusiasts from around the world. COMMUNITY PROCESS Art Advisory Service recommends working closely with the community to develop a customized art plan for Roundabout #4 that matches the vision and character of the Town of Avon. Drawing upon feedback of the various stakeholders, we would work with the artist to develop an art program that coordinates with the environment, represents indigenous species, and builds upon the recently completed pedestrian plaza. ARTIST Floyd Elzinga is a Canadian sculptor with a history of community -driven public art displays. His works posses the quality and craftsmanship that resemble a world-renowned resort. Inspired by Avon's spectacular natural environment and passionate local community, Elzinga's approach speaks to the vibrancy and progressive nature of our mountain town. APPROACH The Town of Avon recently invested in a new pedestrian core which has been embraced by the community and has successfully created new pathways throughout town. If selected, AAS recommends working with Zehren and Associates to continue the design vocabulary already established and ensure a seamless integration between the East and West sides of town. The proposed sculpture is compatible with the Town of Avon's existing art collection, yet it introduces a progressive, new direction. These oversized sculptures are easily recognizable and have an undeniably contemporary feel.

Allison Street Littleton, CO 801 28 August 28, 201 5 Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" A confluence, according to its historic definition, was a reference to the coming together of waters. Over time, however, the word has taken on a much broader meaning: the coming together of people, ideas, and cultures. The town of Avon fits naturally into all the different interpretations of confluence. The whole Eagle Valley is a confluence of many waters joining the Eagle River as it rushes to join the mighty Colorado on its journey. In the days of the westward expansion, the Avon area was a confluence of miners, ranchers, and farmers, all dependent on each other for their survival. Today, Avon and the surrounding area have become an area of confluence for people and nature; hikers, campers, skiers, and sportsmen of all kinds come together with nature and wildlife. :C Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 -- Avon, CO, "Confluence" 3 Another area of confluence is located at the town's center - Roundabout #4. The roads leading to and from the roundabout take people to commerce, lodging, entertainment, adventure, and recreation. It is at the center of this point that I propose to place a sculpture that symbolizes, in many ways, the ideas and nature of confluence. Fait-i,c atzd art��t The coming together, or confluence, of different entities often creates a point of energy, which can be visualized as a great turbulence, as seen in waterways coming together. The visualization of this point of graceful energy is what I have symbolically created in my sculpture, 'CONFLUENCE." 4 Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" The two pieces of the sculpture that fit together are comprised of curving, flat planar surfaces that symbolize the coming together of roadways, paths and people, creating an area of energy and beauty. The sculpture itself is a creation of a confluence. Years ago, I invented a unique way of twisting and cutting stone by bringing s together both traditional ?.; and new, innovative techniques to create the forms I envision from a single piece of stone. The resulting forms have an energy and dynamic that is unique in stone sculpture. This sculpture displays a convergence of art and energy in a single statement that relates to the physical and symbolic p' confluence in the area. 8'4 x. 9'2-' > O -MI Cr �� Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" 5 �T ',C.Affi DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Preliminary design development and templates $ 15,000 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Engineer $ 3,000 MATERIALS Stone (Granite) $ 28,000 Hardware, pins, glue, machine work $ 2,650 Tools, polishing pads, diamond wire, bush hammers, fuel, etc. $ 7,500 Forklift (setting stones in studio/picking sculpture up from studio) $ 1,500 Sub -total $ 39,650 SHIPPING Delivery of stone to studio $ 1,500 Delivery of sculpture to site $ 1,000 Sub -total $ 2,500 FABRICATION Artist $ 42,000 Assistants $ 25,000 Sub -total $ 67,000 INSTALLATION Foundation $ 5,000 Crane $ 1,500 Artist travel (Fuel, Lodging, and Food) $ 850 Sub -total $ 7,350 LANDSCAPING Facing stone $ 4,500 Laying stone $ 18,500 Concrete $ 24,000 Lighting $ 5,500 Sub -total $ 52,500 GENERAL OPERATING Insurance $ 1,500 Studio $ 40,000 Administrative $ 1,500 Sub -total $ 43,000 CONTINGENCY $ 10,000 TOTAL $240,000 6 Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" 7J"E49nE ESTIMATED DATE PROJECT PHASE August 28, 2015 ................................

From the start of my artistic career, I have always strived to incorporate in my sculpture the marriage of technology, stone carving, and the new symbolic vocabulary that results from that exploration. During this journey, I have created innovations on existing machinery that have allowed me to venture into some unique areas of expression. The style that has evolved over the years from my experimentation is one of interlocking and/or extruded forms that create a symbolic synergy. With this melding of new technology and ancient material, I create dynamic sculpture with precision and quality that will last for hundreds of years. For many years, I have been sculpting stones at surgical levels of precision to demonstrate ingenuity. Through a vibrant career in the arts, I have been called upon for guidance in creation, restoration, installation, and deconstruction. I am known by architects, engineers, contractors, and designers as a knowledgeable consultant and have positioned myself as a resource for anything related to stone. The projects I have managed are well documented in my website. As a fine artist and owner of a stone fabrication plant for over 20 years, I have managed large- scale projects, supplying finished stonework for public venues, mansions, and churches. In the projects that I have created, I have always captured some essence of the area or site. 8 Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" I have had several one and two man shows and have exhibited in many invitational and juried shows around the country. ..M y work is rQ•�r� � , _ � , I was a founding member of the innovative and highly regarded FORM, Inc., a corporation of nine outstanding sculptors who specialized in large- scale contemporary sculpture. With other FORM members, I participated in exhibitions at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Fiddler's Green Amphitheater, and in Vail, Boulder, and San Francisco. I have been working exclusively in stone since I graduated from the University of Denver in 1970. The special feeling that I have for stone extends from various types of marble and travertine to the harder grades of granite. During my working tour of Europe in 1972 and 1973, I worked with many different types of stone. It was during this time that I realized the unlimited possibilities of designing and working in stone with modern technology. I have since taken the available tools and redesigned them to fill my specific needs on each sculpture. In 1980, I designed and built a unique stone saw with which I can complete innovative sculpture on a monumental scale. I have used it to create many large-scale projects in both marble and granite. Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" 9 Stone is Earth's oldest storyteller. Its memory spans the geological record, the advent of life and, in sculpture, the birth of human thought. From the 22,000 year old Venus of Willendorf to contemporary art, stone sculpture remains the most elemental medium through which humankind interacts with the planet and communicates with the future. I have always strived to continue that legacy, melding modern technology and aesthetics to fit place, time, and nature. "I h, a ff a -t tears A~J, a -S fa -5.t aLs I t f%'l�, I t �s wW At4' re fo Ceave of pr , a wee yyag e fo + z f u4-twe +kat wz w -&re kt re a4,xA f1,L a t wz k ere of b-wi AZ4,Lg a great a+,-& -fk.a" k4y A C-�e, boflti f D'r of S O'W' SO'" a*L& as a f o-L�i e-� "PO -K, WJ16" f wf wye ge~a+i o-" "-wU bm�.'' I agree with many historians that carving stone was man's first artistic endeavor. Since man first carved scrapers, ax -heads, and projectile points, humankind's genius, tenacity, and technological achievements have always been reflected in his stone carving. Stone has, through the ages, provided man not only with his first tools, but has also provided a lasting means by which to represent one's gods, intellect, and convey feelings.

There is a thrill in creating an object that could still be in existence thousands of years from now. "I ANw atwa g S w-g v,i,za+A t of +ttz v► z5. A je.

Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" m2z 57ztD?O Since 1970, I have been steadily accumulating and making equipment to suit my specific needs as a stone sculptor. I have built my own studio which has 6,000 square feet of production space and a support building of 6,000 square feet for an office, a machine shop, a welding bay, plus a wood and template shop, all necessary to support my main endeavor which is stone sculpture. Nook, I A� t; Within my sculpture studio, I have built two bridge cranes, one capable of 30,000 pounds and a second crane capable of 10,000 pounds. The most unique piece of equipment is a wire saw of my own design which is capable of cutting contours and also doing compound curvature work critical to my particular style of sculpture. I am totally capable of producing large scale stone sculpture within my own facility. The only subcontractor I use is the stone quarry. 12 Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" �I Frank Swanson, Roundabout #4 — Avon, CO, "Confluence" "Zl 57WDV My work is always in stone which requires an understanding of its history, the forces that have shaped it, and the elements that compose it. My capacity to work with this material rests in my complete understanding of its lineage. This curiosity is all encompassing, and my exploration of context is far reaching. The challenge of each different stone is a compelling force in my work, and my artistic statements are strongly influenced by the constant dialogue with the stone. `i ne aim of ort is to re,nresent not t ie outwara a,,�earance ofAngs, 6ut tAeir inward significance.

Along with creating two and three dimensional sculpture, my company creates window and door surrounds, columns, carved caps and bases, archways, gargoyles, fire places and any other thing the client or architect can dream up in the way of unique stone detail.

I studied Art History at Northwestern University and both of us graduated and married in 1957. My wife and I committed to attempting to build a significant art collection and purchased a work of art every month for over 50 years. When we met Frank, we considered him to be an exceptional sculptor and commissioned him to do a work of art for my 401 birthday. We invited guests to our house for the unveiling and were delighted when several people gave him commissions to do pieces for them. Two of them, the Sklar family and the Valfer family especially found his work very inspirational. Bob Sklar's first sculpture ever purchased was a piece he commissioned Frank to do for the front of his house. It was a large complex piece mounted in the center of his driveway. It became the impetus for his building a sculpture park with over 50 pieces. The Valfer family's first sculpture was purchased from Frank and it became the impetus for their building a significant collection of over 200 pieces of art composed of many exceptional Chicago artists and teachers of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1995, I was approached by the Board of Trustees of the Drexel Home to advise them on a monument to be constructed at a new facility honoring their eight million dollar contribution. This new facility was carrying on the work that the Drexel Home had done for over 50 years. The group was chaired at that time by the President of A. Epstein and Sons Engineers (known throughout the world for their work on major buildings). I asked Frank to enter the "quest" with a maquette for that installation. The board was very impressed by his maquette, but wanted to see what other choices were available to them from my suggestions. I gave them a myriad of people to consult with including artists, critics, teachers, and gallery owners. After two years of seeing many fine examples, they always compared them to Frank's sculpture. They finally realized that his piece depicted exactly the feeling of how they wanted the Drexel Home to be remembered. They gave him the commission. I am proud to now own 10 of his pieces amongst the 500, plus other works of art we own. My wife and I feel we have somewhat accomplished our goal to build a significant art collection. We have over 100 artists in our collection and have usually 5 to 10 museums a year come to our house the see the art. In all our years of looking at art and meeting artists, our relationship with Frank has stood out as a great example of a person who is talented, professional, and dedicated to uniqueness and passion in his work. I am sure if you give Frank a commission you will find the experience to be unique, satisfying, and rewarding. Lawrence I.

Sense o[Place This sculpture is a celebration of movement. The flowing lines convey Avon as an epicenter of opportunity. This sculpture will distinguish your arrival and be a lasting image of place. 14 Joshua Wiener — Avon, CO, Roundabout #4, "Pathways" 3 The sculpture is based on the observation of how things move. I sought to find � shapes that could be wind, water, snow, and earth. It is our trails and rivers. nnovave�I felt that the town center should evoke a sense of wonder, one that carries you outdoors, but also returns you to a warm nurturing place. I thought of a light source and a seed. I was drawn to the centrality of this place and wanted to have a form that felt like it was part of its greater context. I balanced the ephemeral with the physical. I wanted it to appear as a brush stroke with presence and transparency. The sculpture will stand 12' x 33' and be made in Core -ten. It won't need any maintenance, ever. It will hold up beautifully against the intense Colorado weather, and if it were ever vandalized, it could be easily restored. 4 Joshua Wiener - Avon, CO, Roundabout #4, "Pathways" Tine key to my approack with this project is tke idea to ivLspire a sense of wovider for kow we can be im an exquisite relatiomskip with our emvirommemt.

I have created sculptures for other roundabouts, and by understanding the changing perspective of the audience in the roundabout, I have layered materials to make your movements an active force in the experience of the artwork. You are part of the landscape. Avon is an important place for connecting with nature so I wanted the artwork to draw you into the environment, to make you aware that you are a part of this place. 16 6 Joshua Wiener — Avon, CO, Roundabout #4, "Pathways" 04 -Ais sculpture > a vehicle for imagivtotiom Imelen I want to create art that goes beyond expressing the function of the site and becomes a partner to inspire great thinking. _4 y A roundabout is a brilliant structure for a town center. Avon's environmental stewardship should be conveyed through this artwork. To do this, I propose making the roundabout into a rain garden. When the existing structures are removed, the land should be contoured to promote infiltration (rain garden). If possible, it would be fantastic to make this roundabout into a phytoremediation structure (cleaning water and air with plants). I know all of this is contingent on civil engineers, planners, etc. would love to be part of the team making town center inspiring. I am open to other ways of accomplishing this and have a robust history of weaving multivalence into my artwork. I have created rain gardens and public art that articulates phytoremediation.

Joahua Wiener — Avon, CO, Roundabout #4, llathwaye" 9 EXPLORATIONS ... in aluminum As I biked through Avon, I felt immersed in a symphony. The sounds of nature created the rhythm while the melody was human... COMMUNITY OUTREACH... I would like to lead a group of people through my process. I would like to create a satellite project as a way to deepen the effects of this artwork. Outside of the roundabout project, we could do a small participation based piece where we do something that is aesthetically exciting and environmentally restorative. It could be a sculpted section of path or a stone bridge, etc. I grew up in Aurora, riding these mountains at every given opportunity. I now live in Boulder & Marble, CO, and the great food and scenery in Avon makes this our halfway stop for my family. I see Avon as part of my living space. As such, I want to be involved with making it even more spectacular. I have a way to extend the experience of this artwork so Avon feels a sense of ownership. I am well versed in exploring spaces with talented groups, and I am wildly curious. I see art as a lineage. I am always listening because anything great has been greatly informed. 10 Joshua Wiener — Avon, CO, Roundabout #4, "Pathways" BUDGET DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Artist Design Fee (Including drawings, contracts, meetings, $ 15,000 site visits, progress reports, preliminary design development & consultations w/ architects, engineers, etc.) PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Engineer $ 1,200 Water -jet cutting $ 30,000 Metal Rolling 22,000 Sub -total $ 53,200 MATERIALS Core -ten $ 50,000 Hardware $ 1,550 Tools (welding equipment, wire, fuel, etc.) $ 6,000 Positioners and frame $ 3,000 Concrete rebar 4,000 Sub -total $ 64,550 SHIPPING Delivery of materials to studio $ 10,000 Delivery of sculpture to site 1,500 Sub -total $ 11,500 FABRICATION Artist (structural welding, fabric cutting and reinforcing, $ 40,000 sandblasting) Assistants 15,500 Sub -total $ 55,500 INSTALLATION Foundation $ 4,000 Crane $ 3,000 Additional equipment needed at site $ 4,000 Artist & assistant travel 1,500 Sub -total $ 12,500 GENERAL OPERATING Insurance $ 750 Studio $ 10,000 Administrative 2,000 Sub -total $ 12,750 CONTINGENCY $ 15,000 TOTAL.................................................................................................. $240,000 TimELINE TASK TIME ALLOTTED Proposal Due-----------------------------------------------------------------------------August 28, 2015 Town Meeting / Presentation ---------------------------------------------------September 8, 2015 City approval & signing of contract ------ (-1-2 months), -September / October 2015* Receipt of deposit ------------------------------ (-1-2 months), -October / November 2015* Project installation --------------------------------------------June 2016 (tbd w/ committee)* *Pending city approval/signing of contract/receipt of deposit/meets the estimated timeline presented here. **I would be prepared to begin the project as soon as the commission is awarded and the deposit is received. ***This is an estimated timeline and can be further discussed with the committee to integrate the artwork with the schedule of the city/committee.

It can articulate concern, evoke emotion, stimulate thoughts, and make life more interesting. In its best case, it will teach us to be better friends, embrace beauty, and be more compassionate." I believe in art as a very positive force for all the things that make me feel so fortunate to be alive. I want to do my part to help inspire more artistry. All of my artwork is made at the highest standard of perfection with the hopes to draw more people into a deeper relationship with the art they are surrounded by. I see the Avon Roundabout Project as a unique opportunity to inspire lots of people in a meaningful way. I like to create art that addresses the issues of urban and natural forms co -existing, an inevitable direction for everyone's future. My 'urban with nature' series raises awareness and stimulates thought about our environment, creating a holistic integration of art and landscape. My experience includes, but is not limited to: -creating land art on a reclaimed contaminated site -participating in design teams -making site-specific public sculptures -teaching at the Art Students League in Denver -working in stone, steel, earth, bronze, and experimental materials -completing every project on time and within budget -constructing contemplative gardens and water features with Marpa Landscape Design, winner of countless awards -working with architects, landscape architects, city planners, engineers, and contractors -generating construction documents -teaching a month workshop at the Denver Art Museum -apprenticing in Japan with sculptor, Kazutaka Uchida -completing a residency at an accredited institution, PlatteForum, working with at risk youth -co-founding and directing a community arts 501 c3 non-profit organization, Art In Your Park -leading nature walks with elementary school children at Durango Nature Studies -managing over 100 community events -managing a team of technicians and instructing workshops at MARBLE/marble Symposium "Joshua's knowledge of materials, shapes, forms, and compositions makes me highly recommend him for public art projects."

From the beginning, our experience with Joshua denotes his understanding of the public art selection and installation process, and the challenges within. He maintains excellent communication throughout the project, is accommodating and flexible, and even completes his artworks before schedule. As an artist, Joshua has an intrinsic sense of what would draw the viewer in. His proposal for a roundabout on one of the four main entrances to the city spoke to an understanding of how the art would be viewed (e.g. from a moving vehicle or bicycle) and included an impressive "fly -over" graphic as part of the proposal to allow the selection committee and public who viewed his maquette at an open house event a sense of how the art Would really look.

In collaboration with the Clackamas County Development Agency and the City of Happy Valley, our local arts agency contracted with Joshua to create an iconic sculpture sited in a traffic roundabout. Key project goals for this site were to create a gateway identity, and to improve traffic safety by creating a visual reference point for drivers. Challenges were designing an artwork specifically intended to be viewed through vehicle windows or from the perimeter of the roundabout. Equally important to our Selection Committee was that the sculpture have lasting impact and integrity, but require minimal ongoing maintenance. Joshua's project emerged through our national call to public artists; his proposal successfully satisfied all project objectives. He completed the project to approved specifications, on budget and on time. Time was a particular issue and problem with this project. Although we contracted with Joshua for a 12 -week construction timeline, a variety of external circumstances not known at contract outset required that the project in fact be complete and installed in 6 weeks. Joshua was extraordinarily willing to adapt to these needs; his flexibility and patience was a distinct asset for both our Committee and construction project managers. Joshua clearly understands the challenges of creating civic sculpture. His Committee presentation was clear, articulate and supported by excellent documentation, including maquette models and drawings. In his interactions with our Committee and staff, he was consistently open to change and responsive to critique. He evidenced good understanding of design and materials, and provided added value to project planning by participating in the landscape design process, resulting in a beautiful, well -integrated roundabout design. He was generally courteous and communicative with Committee members, project partners, construction crew and site neighbors, recognizing that negotiation and dialogue are important factors in the public art process. Additionally, Joshua was well - organized for the transportation and installation of his artwork. Tight schedules for all road construction aspects demanded that Joshua be careful, cautious and respectful of roadwork onsite; he employed the heavy machinery needed for his installation without causing any damage to fragile site surfaces. Joshua's project has now been in place for several months and we have received feedback that his artwork is both admired and enjoyed by the community and by all project collaborators -- the best endorsement for any civic artwork! I can confidently recommend him for any project of similar scale and scope.

To Whom It May Concern, I would like to highly recommend sculptor Joshua Wiener for public art projects. In 2009, Mr. Wiener completed a two-month residency at P1atteForum where he continued to work on his living art series that inverts the typical garden -to -sculpture relationship. This living art series aligns ingenuity with environmental protection. By placing living organisms in refined compositions, he presents a new way of relating nature to urban expanses. With traditional and contemporary sculpting techniques, Wiener constructs living sculptures with internal irrigation to allow the cultivation of plant materials. The work becomes a combination of construction and subtractive sculpting with man-made and natural materials. In the exhibition, Wiener showcased six living sculptures as seeds for public projects. Each piece experiments with integrating plants into the sculpture in a way that they become the "binding" element. The statement is one of sustainability and the examination of how we harvest, use, reuse, and/or discard materials. Wiener's dream is to have the viewer slow down, physically and emotionally, to notice the resources around them as valuable for themselves and biodiversity. Wiener's residency and exhibition continues the development of PlatteForum's urban garden, a project that transforms the concrete courtyard into an urban space to celebrate nature and sustainability. While in residence, Wiener worked intensely with eight students from La Academia at Denver Inner City Parish in a seven -week Learning Lab series. Students explored salvaged materials, dirt, and plant materials as they created living sculptures. Working collectively, they created a limestone living sculpture for their school that expresses their culture, pride, and hopes for the future. Working from the starting point of the Aztec calendar, the students created symbols that expressed their cultural identity and their relationship as stewards of nature. Weighing over 1,000 pounds, the limestone disc incorporates rings of sandblasted images and integrated earth, seeds, and plants. The work, intended to inspire imaginative stewards of the land, will be sited at their school at the culmination of the exhibition. Public art projects demand a level of commitment, vision, passion, collaborative spirit and attention to detail that is challenging for many artists. I have absolutely no doubt that Josh Wiener would, should you be so fortunate in contracting him for your project, not only rise to the occasion but also knock your socks off doing it! Having been involved as a public artist in numerous projects (Seattle), I know first hand the importance of selecting an artist that has vision, but that can also work with the community, collaborate with vendors and fabricators, and, most importantly, navigate the public process in a way that results in successful projects. Josh is a delight to work with, has so much talent, and is poised for any major commitment. Please give him your highest consideration.

Josh designed and constructed several limestone sculptures as public art which were nicely integrated into the overall park. I highly recommend Josh as a public artist. His knowledge of materials, shapes, forms and compositions allowed him to create public art that fits within the greater context of the site. If you would like more information about our experience with Josh, please do not hesitate to call me. Sincerely, ^�l1 L/ Dean Pearson, ASLA, RLA President Joshua Wiener — Avon, CO, Roundabout #4, "Pathways" 17 May 26, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: I am honored to write a recommendation for Joshua Wiener, with whom I have worked on several projects over the past three + years in my role of Art in Public Places Administrator for the City of Longmont. I met Joshua and his wife, Gia, just over three years ago when they were selected as finalists (one of three teams) for a "crosswalk" project that I was working on. I put together a design team through the public art council that linked Joshua, Gia, Longmont streets, CDOT, an asphalt fabricator, and myself to design and build a completely new type of public art project in asphalt. The team worked exceptionally well together and found a way to generate a significant amount more detail in the final project. While the project was delayed due to fabrication vendors, Joshua and Gia were extremely flexible in their willingness and ability to work with me and the (potential) vendors as modifications to the project were explored. Ultimately, they went above and beyond the scope of the contract, delivering to the vendors exactly what they needed, on time, and never asking me for more money. In addition to this "permanent" installation, I have had the pleasure of working with Joshua over the past two years as he has had several pieces selected for Longmont's Art on the Move program. I enjoy working with Joshua; he is always on time with his deliveries, thorough in his installations, and has addressed any questions or concerns that arise in a timely manner. Due in part to our good working relationship and Joshua's ability to present and his enthusiastic energy, Joshua was selected as a guest speaker for Longmont's Virtual Art Tour in 2008. The Longmont Community has embraced his work that is and has been here, and I would be happy to work with him again in the future, if and when the opportunity presents itself. I would highly recommend Joshua as a competent and professional artist to work with — from the artistic and creative side to the business side. Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions.

Hanna, Director December 4, 2006 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter of reference on behalf of Josh Weiner for work he performed for The Town of Castle Rock. Josh was commissioned to complete a public art project in late 2005, by the Town's public art committee. The committee had selected the next Castle Rock Park, Gemstone Park, as the location for this work. This group tasked Josh to team with Park Staff and its consultant/contractor to craft artwork that would blend with the overall theme of the project. The artwork would also have to stand up to a high use, public park environment. Josh met this challenge by effectively working with the project team. He produced two freestanding limestone sculptures that were not only beautiful but also, complemented the overall Gemstone theme. He completed his work within the allowed budget and met our grand opening schedule. Once the job was complete, we directly contracted with Josh to complete and additional sculpture that will also function as an entry sign for the park. I would be happy to answer any questions or provide greater detail regarding this project.

I recently worked with Josh on a project for Founders' Park. in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. It was a pleasure to work with Josh on this project. His proposal, a large sculpture composed of different materials and suggesting an environmental narrative, demonstrated his capacity for thoughtful, imaginative work. A very accomplished sculptor, he approached this project seriously and with enthusiasm. He followed through consistently to ensure the successful installation of the artwork. As the public art consultant on this project, I appreciated the fact that he communicated responsibly and effectively with me and with the Director of the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Wheat Ridge, the client agency, throughout this process. I would certainly recommend Joshua Wiener for any public art project for which he is a finalist. Sincerely � Barbara Neal Public Art Consultant Colo university Knowledge to Go Places Facilities Management Fort Collins, Colorado 80523-6030 To Whom It May Concern: As an architect with Colorado State University, one of my responsibilities is to manage historic preservation projects. I selected Mr. Joshua Wiener to replicate a heavily worn marble water fountain bowl in one of our historic buildings on campus. He was recommended to me by a Denver based stone and marble supplier. Mr. Wiener was very professional in his dealings with the University. He researched marble options and accurately estimated the costs and material availabilities for each option. Once a marble selection was made, Mr. Wiener flawlessly executed the carving in time to meet a very important reception at the building. His carved bowl was an extremely accurate replication of the original feature, attesting to his extraordinary sculpting ability. Mr. Wiener's dedication -to the project led him to aid in setting the bowl on the pedestal with a professional marble installer, a turnkey operation. The fountain had been taken out of service due to the irregular flow of the water from the worn bowl. The fountain is now in full operation and the campus community is thrilled with the result. The fountain now serves as a focal point of one of the best -loved structures at Colorado State. I heartily recommend Mr. Josh Wiener, sculptor, for any stone sculpture projects.
