FINAL DESIGN PLAN
January 4th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date December 29, 2004
Project type Duplex Residence
Legal description Lot 42A, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD - 2 Units
Address 5101 Longsun Lane
Introduction
The applicant, TAB Associates Inc., is proposing a three level duplex on a .61 -acre lot
(26,554sq.ft.) within the Wildridge Subdivision. The proposed building measures approximately
8,497 square feet with a maximum building height of 31'8". The proposed materials include a
stucco finish with a combination of stone veneer and wood siding.
The subject property, along with the two adjacent lots (4213 and 42C) were granted a. P.U.D.
amendment on May 21", 2002 for three duplex lots from the originally approved two 4-plex lots.
This amendment represented an overall reduction of 2 development rights and is subject to
conditions of approval, which are discussed below. The applicant was subsequently granted
final design approval for a duplex dwelling on the subject property May 20, 2003. The final
design was approved for a duplex building measuring approximately 7,635 square feet, in the
same location on the lot with a similar orientation and use of material.
This design of the duplex appears to be in conformance with the residential design guidelines
and the associated conditions of approval from the prior P.U.D. amendment. It was suggested
during the sketch review to include a variety of architectural features to distinguish the proposed
duplex units to avoid the perception of "mirror images". The applicant has addressed this
comment by the use of different colors and materials, as well as the use of window and door
features.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Town of Avon Residential Commercial and Industrial Design Review
Guidelines, Section 7, the Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design
of this project:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of
the Town of Avon Zoning Code.
Allowed use: A duplex residence is an allowed use for this lot.
Density: The lot is zoned for 2 units.

Lot 42A, Block 4, Wildridge Sub ion, Duplex Final Design
January 4. 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 5
• Lot Coverage: Maximum site coverage allowed for this PUD is 50%. This project is in
compliance with proposed lot coverage of 24%.
• Setbacks: As proposed, the design is in compliance with all required setbacks. The
minimum building setbacks from both Longsun Lane and Wildridge Road East is 25',.
which is a condition of the P.U.D. amendment.
• Easements: There is landscaping proposed within the 10' Slope Maintenance, Drainage,
and Snow Storage Easement. Landscaping placement is discouraged within this platted
easement.
• Building Height: This design appears to be in conformance with the 35 -foot maximum
allowable height requirement. The maximum building height is 31'8". An Improvement
Location Certificate (ILC) at framing will be required to verify compliance with the PUD's
maximum height requirement.
• Grading: All proposed grading appears to comply with Town standards.
• Parking: 6 parking spaces are required for this project, and 7 spaces (including garage
spaces) are proposed.
• Snow Storage: Adequate on-site snow storage is provided with 503 square feet, 22% of
paved area. At least 458 square feet of snow storage is required for the area of the
proposed driveway.
• Landscaping: It appears that the Landscaping Plan is in conformance with the Town
guidelines. The total irrigated area appears to be in compliance with the Town's 20%
maximum irrigated area requirement. However, the irrigated area square footage
depicted on the site plan appears to be incorrectly calculated and must be revised prior
to building permit.
2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains.
The project generally complies with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan.
3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed improvements.
Adequate development rights exist in the Wildridge PUD for a single-family home or duplex.
4. The final design plan is in compliance with all final design plan submittal
requirements.
• Site Development:
o Site Design: The orientation of the structure utilizes passive solar use and the
building location compliments the existing topography of the site. There are no
slopes in excess of 40% on the site.
o Site Access: The access width and grades are in compliance with Town
standards. The driveway depicted varies in grade, but appears not to exceed
4% at any point and adequate maneuvering for vehicles on site is provided. The
access to lot 42A is by way of a shared access easement through lot 42B that
was established as part of the P.U.D. amendment.
o Parking and Loading: The parking spaces provided are in compliance with Town
standards.
o Easements: This project is in compliance with all platted easements with the
exception of the placement of landscaping within the 10' Slope Maintenance,

Drainage, and Snow Storage Easement. The guidelines state that landscaping
placement is discouraged within this platted easement.
o Site Grading: All grading appears to comply with the Town standards.
o Drainage: Positive drainage away from the structure appears functional.
o Snow Removal and Storage: Ample snow storage is provided on-site.
Building Design:
Building Height: The proposed building height of 31'8" is in compliance with the
35 -foot allowance and will be confirmed with a foundation as well as a framing
ILC.
c Building Materials and Colors: The proposed building materials include a stucco
finish, wood clad doors, bellyband and skirt boards, asphalt shingles, and cedar
accent features. The architectural design features include walkouts on the middle
levels, two car garage(s), and roof ridgelines and wall planes that appear to be
mirror images of each unit. Although the connection of the units is relatively
narrow, the connection is made sharing a common wall with opposing living
areas. The proposed colors are earth tone and the use of high quality materials
(multiple materials on each elevation) is encouraged by the design guidelines.
o Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Architectural Interest: This design proposes areas of
stone veneer, wood siding, and two colors of stucco. The exterior wall colors
should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Varied roof pitches
are being proposed with 4:12 and 6:12 pitches.
o Outdoor Lighting: As presented, the proposed light fixture(s) comply with safe
harbor/exemption section of the Town of Avon's Lighting Ordinance. However,
the intent and purpose of the ordinance is to reduce light trespass through the
use of full cut-off light fixtures. Therefore, staff recommends the applicant come
back prior to building permit submittal with a revised fixture to comply with
Section 15.30 of the Town Municipal Code.
Landscaping:
o Design Character. The landscaping proposed features a combination of
Kentucky Blue Grass, Aspen and Spruce trees, which are all consistent with the
Guidelines recommended plant last. However, there is an error in the
calculations in the landscaping table indicating a permanent irrigated area that is
greater than the allowable 20%. This error will be corrected prior to building
permit application.
o Erosion Control: Adequate erosion control must be installed during construction.
Silt fencing is proposed at the limits of disturbance, and should only be
necessary on the downhill limits of disturbance.
o Retaining Walls: There are no retaining walls proposed.
5. The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to minimize site
disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or
other significant alteration of existing topography.
The design appears to be compatible with the site.

6. The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways, with respect to architectural style, massing, height,
orientation to street, quality of materials, and colors.
The project should not dominate the landscape of the property. The architectural style and
scale of the proposed development appears appropriate for the neighborhood and
consistent with adjacent properties.
High quality materials and earth tone colors should make this project beneficial to the
neighborhood as viewed from adjacent properties. Due to the high visibility of this property
from Wildridge Road, the limits of disturbance must be maintained during construction.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity
that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
This project will create minimal impact to neighbors and should not create monetary
impairment to the adjacent properties. Aesthetic values could be impaired with the large site
disturbance area proposed.
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals,
Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
The project generally conforms to the adopted goals and policies of the Town.
Staff Recommendation
Staff is recommending approval of the final design plan for the duplex located on Lot 42A Block
4, Wildridge Subdivision with the following conditions to be resolved prior to submittal for a
building permit:
1. A revised lighting fixture that complies with the Town Lighting Ordinance must be
submitted and approved by Community Development.
2. Irrigated area percentage on the site plan must be adjusted in order to comply with
Town's 20% maximum requirement.
3. Except as otherwise modified by this permit approval, all material representations made
by the applicant or applicant representative(s) in this application and in public hearing(s)
shall be adhered to and considered binding conditions of approval.
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please call me at
748-4009 or stop by the Community Development Department.
