Project type Case #MNR16030 - Minor Development Plan & Design
Property Owner Town of Avon
Zoning Public Right-of-Way
Location Highway 6 in front of the Eaglebend Apartments
Prepared By David McWilliams, Town Planner
Introduction
The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) is requested to review and take action on a Minor
Development Plan & Design application for a new ECO bus shelter in front of the Eaglebend
Apartments on Highway 6. The new proposed bus shelter (Attachment A & B) would replace
the existing bus shelter by moving approximately 20’ to the west of the old location, on the west
side of the driveway entrance to the apartments. Details of the proposal are attached as
Attachment A to this Staff Report. This Staff Report summarizes the design review criteria and
bus shelter design considerations.
Background
As part of the construction of the new Eagle Valley Trail segment passing through Avon on the
north side of Highway 6, the location of the existing bus shelter had to be modified. It was
decided to replace the aging structure with a new bus shelter to match the ECO standard
applied to other locations in the valley, with two new stops in the Town of Eagle.
Previous Bus Shelter.
Review Criteria
The PZC shall use the Development Plan and Design Review criteria as the basis for a decision
on the Application. Staff has provided a response to the review criteria below:
September 20, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Page | 2

Staff Response: According to ADC §.7.04.030(d), Purpose, the ADC is intended to
“promote effective and economical mass transportation and enhance effective, attractive
and economical pedestrian opportunities.” The proposed bus shelter structure achieves the
intent of this section of the ADC by implementing a facility that better serves the area’s
ridership. Safe access is now provided with a path connection.
Further, the ADC is intended to “promote design which is compatible, functional, practical
and complimentary to Avon’s sub-alpine environment. The revised design is compatible
and complimentary to the other ECO bus shelter facilities. The proposed structure uses
materials that are durable and appropriate for environmental conditions at this location.
(2) Evidence of substantial compliance with the §7.16.090, Design Review.
Staff Response: The Application is in compliance with the criteria for Design Review;
specifically, the design relates the development to the character of the surrounding
community (§7.16.080(f(1). Colors and materials
(3) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
Staff Response: The Comprehensive Transportation Plan (2009) includes general
guidelines for transit facility designs and locations. The proposed ECO bus shelter facility

Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards
TransitPlus, Inc. Page 14
• Elements such as signs, information kiosks or vendors (where permitted) that can
obstruct the view of oncoming buses should be located "down-stream" from the shelter.
Design
A bus shelter should be designed to reflect the place in which it is located. This is accomplished
through the use of local materials and by the design details. Our recommended standards for
shelter design can be adapted to reflect the unique characteristics of each particular
neighborhood, but should in general have a consistent theme. All well-designed bus shelters
have the following five general qualities: visibility, accessibility, comfort and convenience, public
information, and ease of maintenance.
One example shelter is that installed on Lake Street. Engineering information for this shelter is
attached to these guidelines and available through the Town Engineer.
General Characteristics and Size
• The general aesthetic of the site – uncomplicated shapes, uncluttered façade surfaces
shall be respected wherever possible.
• A weathered, scrubbed look is desirable for buildings and improvements on the site
reflecting the overall nature of the site and Colorado ranching and mining architectural
themes. The look of the aspens, logs, cedar shakes weathered shingles are all icons of
this area.
• Renewable resource systems and materials are strongly encouraged to showcase
sustainable approaches provided that they match these other requirements.
• The size of a bus shelter depends on the climate as well as the number of people who
are expected to use it and the expected use determined by the Department of
Transportation.
Building Massing and Roof Height
• All bus shelters shall be 3-sided. Open canopy designs are not permitted as they do not
protect users from the harsh mountain weather conditions.
• Clerestories and skylights are permitted on a case-by-case basis provided that they are
weather-tight. These features help to bring natural light into the bus stop but tend to
result in higher maintenance and increase the risk of leakage.
Exterior Materials
• Exterior cladding shall be composed of natural or recycled materials.
• No vinyl or aluminum cladding shall be used for siding or trim except in the case of
recycled materials that meet the guidelines set forth in this section.
• Cladding should not change or alternate from front to side to rear elevations if this would
be inconsistent with other surrounding buildings.
• Preferred exterior cladding materials include cedar siding and clapboards, cedar
plywood sheathing, and composite/cement cladding with appropriate shingle or
clapboard-type finish (preferably with recycled materials used). The use of cedar
Attachment C - Transportation Plan Guidelines
Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards
TransitPlus, Inc. Page 15
eliminates ongoing maintenance and painting requirements and may be left to weather
naturally.
• Recycled, “green” materials, and materials obtained locally are encouraged. These
materials should be compatible with natural wood materials and stone. Exterior
Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) may be used where masonry materials are needed
to repair or rehabilitate existing masonry structures.
• Bus shelters should be composed of structural bolt-together members and inset panels,
not snap-together "curtain walls" or decorative sections that are easily vandalized. Steel
(with protective coating) or wood structures are allowed. Concrete is not allowed as it is
monolithic in appearance and tends to discolor and soil easily.
• Photovoltaic systems on façades or roofs and solar water systems are encouraged.
Seating
• The amount of seating should be based on both the number of people who will use the
shelter and the amount of time people will spend waiting. Where people wait for a long
time, or where the shelter is used by the elderly or infirm, more seating is generally
needed than in areas where the bus comes more frequently.
• The Towns standard material for interior bench seats is a textured light grey TREX or
HPDE lumber with a maximum support spacing of 12 inches due to elastic property of
these materials.
• A bench rail should be provided and located about 3 feet 6 inches above the ground.
Materials of construction should be cedar, Trex, or dimensional lumber made of recycled
materials.
Windows, Doors and Side Panels
• Side panels should generally not be used on the curbside of the shelter, except on very
narrow streets with heavy traffic. If side panels are used on the curbside, an opening at
least 3 feet wide needs to be provided to allow people access to the buses.
• Side panels should be mounted 3 inches off the ground so that debris will not collect
inside the shelter. If more than 3 inches off the ground, they will not keep out drafts.
• Side panels, windows and doors shall be clear, e.g., colorless safety glass, Herculite,
Lexan or other vandalism resistant material, and sized in relatively small sections for
ease of replacement (e.g., due to vandalism). Plastic or Plexiglas, mirrored or colored
glass is not allowed.
• New windows shall be natural/protected wood finish, except in cases of limited
replacement where windows shall match color of existing fenestration. Vinyl (red or
green) clad windows are allowed.
• Only fixed, non-opening windows are allowed.
• Protruding bay windows are not allowed.
• New windows may be constructed of wood, vinyl or aluminum clad, or “plastic” wood
composite materials.
Attachment C - Transportation Plan Guidelines
Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards
TransitPlus, Inc. Page 16
Roof
• A pitched roof must be used to prevent the collection of snow, rain, and debris.
• Roofing shall standing seam metal for longevity, ease of maintenance and snow and ice
removal.
• Roofs shall drain away from heavy pedestrian traffic areas (e.g., note icicle formation
potential).
• Mechanical equipment shall not be located on roof tops, except for photovoltaic panels,
solar hot water panels, special ventilation systems, and related types of equipment.
• Roof color shall be Toyota Green unless otherwise pre-approved by the Town.
Other
• All color decisions shall be made by the Town of Avon.
• Natural materials that weather well, such as cedar, are encouraged wherever possible
and are preferred over materials that must be painted, stained or sealed.
• Lighting shall be as listed in section 3.16. Shelter lights should be housed in a protective
casing to reduce vandalism, and directed to illuminate the waiting and boarding areas.
An intensity of 20 lumens per square foot is recommended for safety.
• Solar-powered lighting is encouraged for shelters.
• Adjacent street light and bus stop sign (with or without banner) shall be per Elevation 4
on sheets GR9 (with stone clad base if space allows) or GR10 (without stone clad base)
of the West Town Center Design Guidelines.
• Schedule, route information, and a map case should be located in or next to bus shelters
but not so that the view of the oncoming bus is blocked. The Transportation Department
will provide information on the standard sign frame design and size to facilitate display of
the same core transit information at all stops. Bus stop sign text shall be determined for
each stop by the Transportation Department.
• Advertising panels – to be considered on a case by case basis
3.5 Amenities
Benches
All bus stops with more than 25 boardings per day are required to install a bench with the
following guidelines:
• Coordinate bench locations with existing street lights to increase visibility and enhance
the security of a stop.
• Do not locate benches in completely exposed locations, if possible. Coordinate bench
locations with existing shade trees or install landscaping to provide protection from the
elements.
• Install benches on a non-slip, properly drained, pad.
• Install benches away from driveways.
Attachment C - Transportation Plan Guidelines
Bus Stop Guidelines and Standards
TransitPlus, Inc. Page 17
• Maintain a minimum separation of 2 feet between the bench and the back-face of the
curb.
• At bench-only stops additional waiting room near the bench should be provided.
• All street furnishings should be compatible with one another in appearance, style, color
and construction quality.
• The Town’s standard component for exterior benches is Landscape Forms, Model
"Chase Park 3-Seat Backed Unit, Surface Mount" 74" in length minimum cast aluminum
back and seat in Toyota Green (olive, stock color) Substitutions may be permitted by the
Department of Transportation with written pre-approval.
Signage and Route Information
Placement and design guidelines for each sign discussed in the street-side section. The Town
will be responsible for the design of the information and providing updated information when
changes are made to the routes and schedules.
Recreational Equipment Storage Facilities
Properly designated and located recreational equipment storage facilities discourage users from
locking bikes or resting skis in nuscience locations such as onto the bus facilities or on an
adjacent property. Proper storage can reduce the amount of visual clutter at a stop by confining
this equipment to one area. Recommendations regarding recreational equipment storage
facilities are as follows:
• Bicycle racks should be installed when demand warrants, specifically at those stops
where commuters and residents are prevalent.
• Bike racks shall be U-lock compatible.
• Locate the bicycle storage area away from other pedestrian activities.
• Coordinate the storage facilities near on-site lighting.
• Provide space to lean both skis and snowboards (2-4 per stop) wherever possible.
Trash Receptacles
Provide one bear-proof garbage can per shelter (Bearsaver Model HA-P (brown) with M__ Kit
Model HA-C/Cedar) The Town has experimented with other types and found no other equal.
Anchor the receptacle securely to the ground. Locate the receptacle away from the wheelchair
landing pad areas and allow for at least a 3-foot separation from other street furniture. Locate
the receptacle at least 2 feet from the back of the curb.
If the receptacle is adjacent to the roadway, ensure it does not obstruct the site distance of
nearby driveways or land uses.

Attachment A - §7.04.090, Relationship to Comprehensive Plan
(a) Implementation. It is the intention of the Town that the Development Code
implements the planning policies adopted in the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan (including related
documents as all may be amended or updated from time to time as defined in Chapter 7.08) for the Town of
Avon and its extraterritorial planning area. This Development Code and any amendment to it may not be
challenged on the basis of any alleged nonconformity with the Comprehensive Plan.
(b) Binding. Pursuant to §31-23-206, C.R.S. the Avon Comprehensive Plan as defined in
this Development Code shall be binding except as provided herein. Compliance or consistency
with the Avon Comprehensive Plan shall be a criterion for review of development applications as
set forth in this Development Code. Persons other than the Applicant shall not have any legal
right or claim to challenge a determination by the Town of compliance or consistency with the
Avon Comprehensive Plan. Any language in the Avon Comprehensive Plan document which
states that any provision, guideline or policy is mandatory shall be subject to this §7.04.090.
This §7.04.090 shall apply and supersede any language contained in the Avon Comprehensive
Plan documents concerning interpretation and application of any Avon Comprehensive Plan
document. In all cases where compliance or consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan is a
criteria for review, the reviewing entity may determine that strict compliance with Avon
Comprehensive Plan is not required under the following circumstances:
(1) The development application is consistent with the general goals and intent of the
Avon Comprehensive Plan taking into consideration the unique circumstances of the
property, market conditions, and the current needs of the community;
(2) Strict compliance with multiple provisions of the Avon Comprehensive Plan is not
practical; and,
(3) The procedures for amending the Avon Comprehensive Plan are not beneficial as
applied to the development application for the purpose of promoting public involvement,
community planning, updating the Avon Comprehensive Plan, or adopting or clarifying the
precedence of a decision.
(c) Prior Amendment Required. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan will be required prior
to any approval of a rezoning, PUD, subdivision or annexation approval where a development proposal
would be in substantial conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. A substantial conflict shall be deemed to
exist when a rezoning, PUD, subdivision or annexation proposal is not consistent with the Future Land Use
Plan in the Comprehensive Plan. A substantial conflict may be found to exist when a rezoning, PUD,
subdivision or annexation proposal is found to conflict with other goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan.

POPULATION AND HOUSEHOLD TRENDS
Between 2000 and 2014, Avon grew in population by 15%. Avon added 823 residents during
this time, while the county as a whole added 10,574 residents. Compared to Eagle County as a
whole and most nearby communities, growth was slower in Avon over this time. Household
trends in Avon were similar to population growth, with an addition of 431 households for a
19% increase. The larger increase in households than population indicates a shrinking
household size.
