VI. Sketch Design = Single-family Residence
Property Location: Lot 21, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision/4250 Wildridge
Road West
Applican80wner: Erich Burkhard
Description: The applicant, Erich Burkhard, is proposing is single-family
residence with a first floor caretakers unit on this duplex -zoned lot. The size of
the residence is 4,227 square feet, which includes garage space and a proposed
maximum height of 32'.' Proposed materials include western red cedar, colored
concrete to match existing stones on-site, aluminum window frames, and asphalt
shingles.
Ken Kovalchik presented the Staff Report to the Commission.
Laddy Clark, friend of the applicant, approached the podium as Mr. Burkhard's
representative. Mr. Burkhard communicated to Mr. Clark specific responses to
FAPIanning & Zoning CommissionNinutes\2005\011805.DOC

L
issues in the Staff Report. Those issues included the following: (1) Entrance -
Mr. Burkhard will conform to whatever it is you would like him to do; (2) Drainage
— there is an 18" pipe under the driveway as shown by page 2.S.B.1 Driveway
Entrance Detail; and (3) he will have a Colorado Registered Engineer handle the
retaining wall issues to satisfy the requirements.
Commissioner Evans questioned the overhangs on the west elevation. Mr. Clark
was not prepared to answer and assumed Mr. Burkhard's drawings would have
addressed Commissioner Evans' concerns. Commissioner Evans continued by
explaining to the Commission that his confusion stems from looking at the west
elevation and where it turns on the right hand side and starts the south elevation,
one can see the dash lines at the roof line where it depicts an overhang.
However, on the north elevation, on the last page, and took at the right side, west
elevation, it appears that the edge of the roof is right in line with the wall plane.
Commissioner Evans continued that he may be mis-reading it or it might be
stepping back, it is hard to tell from the drawings provided.
Ken Kovalchik remarked that he had difficulty interpreting the drawings, as stated
in his Staff Report, he was unsure if the west property line was a foundation line
or a roof overhang located within a setback. Overhangs and setbacks could not
be deciphered from the drawings.
Commissioner Struve also had difficulty interpreting the drawings and visualizing
what the house would look like. He felt the caretaker unit was difficult to access
and concerned that the unit had no garage space. Commissioner Struve
continued that the north elevation had a massive roof and the west elevation side
of the house is hard to tell if it is all the same surface and needs more detail.
Commissioner Smith agreed with Commissioner Struve's comments that the set
of plans were difficult to read and felt clarification was warranted.
Commissioner Karow commented that the bulk and mass met Design Guidelines;
the north, south and east elevations were compliant with the Design Review
Guidelines; the west elevation sticks out and looked rather large and could
benefit to look like the other elevations. Commissioner Karow continued with
agreeing with Staffs report that the primary concerns are get the building out of
the setback, curb cuts need to comply with the 18' maximum length, and the 18"
overhangleaves as required.
Commissioner Trueblood commented that parking, driveway and garage did not
have a separate identity with the caretaker unit in the event the project would be
subdivided.
Commissioner Evans expressed that the overhangs could help to break up the
massing especially on the west elevation. He also asked for some clarification
on the left side of the east elevation and the right side of the west elevation, as
there seems to be a column stuck up in mid air. Commissioner Evans continued
" FAPIanning & Zoning CommissionNinutes\2005\011805.DOC

that the stone veneer on the base of the house is not stone veneer but it is
colored concrete with an Ashler stone patterned concrete form liner. It was
Commissioner Evans' interpretation of the Design Review Guidelines that this
product does not meet the requirements.
Mr. Clark asked for clarity on the points Mr. Burkhard needed to address: (1)
overhang and potential encroachment on the west elevation; (2) west elevation's
need to more closely adhere to architectural standards; (3) two living spaces and
not enough parking to accommodate appropriately; (4) the stone veneer made of
concrete meets Building Code but not Design Guidelines unless it receives
specific approval by the Commission; and (5) the column(s) needs clarification.
VII Old Business - Chateau St. Claire (The Gates on Beaver Creek)
Property Location: Lot 1, Chateau St. Claire Subdivision/38390 Hwy 6
Applicant Parkhill-Ivins, P.C. Owner: CSC Land, LLC
Description: Michael Stornello of Parkhill-Ivins, P.C. has submitted a color
rendering of the Chateau St. Claire (The Gates on Beaver Creek) per a condition
of the Minor Modification approval heard by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on December 7th, 2004.'
Eric Heidemann presented an update memo to the Commission.
Mike Stornello, Parkhill-lvans representative on behalf of the owner for the
project, provided to the Commission the current plan rendering as requested by
the Commission in the December 7th, 2004, Planning and Zoning Commission
Meeting. Mr. Stornello also provided the summer of 2003 rendering in order to
present the changes in the project. Mr. Stornello continued with discussing the
elevation modifications that included changing some of the stucco colors, the
deletion of planter boxes, canvas awning at the north side of the building
deletion, roof tiles were changed from a composite material to a concrete tile, the
stained window head and sills were replaced with cement stuccos detailing, and
the turret at the round element in plan changed from a Baroque piece to a more
outlined type of detailing.
Commissioner Evans voiced that this presentation was not in lieu of a mock up.
Mr. Stornello agreed. Eric Heidemann mentioned that the mock up was due to
the commission on April 301°, 2005. Mr. Stornello requested to meet with the
Commission prior to the construction of the mock up in order to make sure it will
be designed according to the Commission's concerns and guidelines.
Vlll Other Business
Commissioner Trueblood inquired regarding the policy of leaving the room when
a Commissioner had a conflict of interest with an agenda item. John Dunn,
Town Attorney, had requested that commissioners leave the room.

Commissioner Trueblood questioned the Eagle County's Revised
Comprehensive Plan and the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan and the
concept of putting both plans in the same room for discussion. Tambi Katieb
responded that Eagle County's draft is in our possession and under review by
staff.
Eric Heidemann mentioned to the Commission that Bill Van Curen appealed the
Commission's decision on the fence and was remanded back to the Commission.
An application and a landscape plan are expected to be submitted in the near
future.
Tambi Katieb stated that Town Council had commented during the last Council
Meeting that motions made by the Planning and Zoning Commission on any file
need to be based on the criteria of the Design Review Guidelines.
Commissioner Evans responded that there is a need to reference the Guidelines
in the motions.
Commissioner Trueblood opened the discussion on the recent Town Council
handout regarding the 10 -point checklist for a commission position.
Commissioner Karow mentioned that greater communication and dialogue
between the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council would be
useful. Commissioner Didier commented on the checklist presented in that
meeting. Commissioner Karow mentioned that a prepared agenda would be
beneficial along with a round table format. Commissioner Struve commented
that any meeting with an agenda and objective was a more productive use of
time. Commissioner Evans voiced that a meeting later than 3:30 pm might be
better timing.
Commissioner Evans and Commissioner Trueblood discussed the Metcalf Road
parking/traffic/truck issue. Commissioner Evans mentioned the difficulty in
locating commercial/industrial-zoned property in this end of the valley and its
need.
VIII. Adjourn
Commissioner Trueblood made the motion to adjourn. Commissioner Smith
seconded and the motion was unanimously approved. The meeting adjourned at
6:25 pm.

February 1, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date January 25, 2005
Project type Single-family
Legal description Lot 5, Western Sage PUD Subdivision
Zoning Single-family Residence
Address N/A
Introduction
The applicants, George and Amy Ruther, are proposing a single-family residence on this
lot. The total floor area of the residence is 3,523 square feet with a maximum building
height of 32'. Proposed materials include wood siding, stone veneer, composite roofing
and corrugated metal roofing.
The Western Sage PUD was approved by Ordinance 04-15 and effectively down zoned
Lots 54, 55, 89, and 90, Block 4 Wildridge from an allowed use of 11 dwelling units to 8
single-family lots (Lots 1-8 Western Sage PUD). Lots 1-5 will be accessed from a
platted access easement extending from Longsun Lane and Lots 6-8 will be accessed
from Wildridge Road East. The final plat for this PUD has not yet been submitted to the
Town for approval and the applicants are aware that a final design application cannot be
submitted until the plat has been recorded.
Staff Comments
The design of the proposed single-family residence appears to generally conform to the
Town of Avon Residential Commercial. and Industrial Design Review Guidelines. The
proposed building height and massing of the structure appears to be consistent with the
residential design guidelines. The maximum building height of the structure measures,
32', which is less than the maximum allowable of 35 feet. The maximum lot coverage of
50% (including impervious surface) has been adhered to. The applicants are proposing
2,890 sq. ft (7.5%) of lot coverage and will be confirmed at final design.
Corrugated metal roofing is proposed on a portion of the northeast elevation roof. The
Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Architectural Interest section of the Guidelines state; 'Large
expanses of bright, reflective materials will not be acceptable, however, metal such as
copper, cor-ten may be acceptable.' Staff does not feel the proposed corrugated metal
roof would qualify as a large expanse.
The grade for the first 20' of the driveway entrance does not exceed 4%. A spot
elevation of 8,510 is indicated at the driveway entrance and contour interval 8510'
extends the length of the driveway. The proposed residence is greater than 2,500 sq. ft.
and the residential guidelines state that a minimum of 3 parking spaces shall be

provided. According to the site plan, a total of 2 garage spaces and 2 outdoor spaces
have been provided. Note #3 on the Western Sage PUD states, 'Vehicular access to
lots 1-5 shall utilize the common access easement platted herein. Vehicular access to
Lots 1-5 shall not be allowed to occur directly off of Longsun Lane.' The developer will
be responsible for constructing the road to access Lots 1-5.
The site plan indicates three retaining walls on the southeastern side of the residence
and one retaining wall at the driveway entrance. The retaining wall near the trash
enclosure is proposed to be 5' in height. This wall is structural and will be required to be
designed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer. The two retaining walls
located near the hammerhead turnaround are proposed at 2' and 3'. The retaining wall
proposed at the Lot 5 driveway entrance is located within the Western Sage PUD access
easement to Lots 1-5. Top of Wall and Bottom of Wall elevations have not been
indicated on the site plan for this retaining wall and will be required at final design.
The proposed grading on the northeastern side of the residence does not appear to be
correct. Proposed elevations 8510' and 8514' terminate into the northeastern corner of
the residence. It is not indicated as to what is proposed for elevation 8512'. It appears
that proposed grade 8514' should terminate closer to the trash enclosure than has been
indicated on the site plan. This will then allow for elevation 8412' to be proposed to
terminate at the northeastern corner of the residence and allow for adequate drainage
around the residence to occur.
The sketch plan as presented generally conforms to the Town's residential design
guidelines. However, staff has identified several issues that need further clarification
prior to submittal of the final design plan. These issues include: 1) Top of Wall and
Bottom of Wall elevations for the driveway entrance retaining wall, 2) revise existing and
proposed grades for elevations on the northeastern corner of the residence to allow for
adequate drainage around the residence, 3) all structural retaining walls shall be
designed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer, 4) all non -developable areas
shall be indicated on the survey, and 5) a vicinity map shall be included on the site plan,
and 6) the final plat for the Western Sage PUD shall be recorded prior to final design
submittal.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission and Staff shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the
specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code.
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D of
the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial and Industrial Design Review
Guidelines.
Staff will prepare a memo to the Commission highlighting anticipated areas of discussion
for the submittal materials. The Commission will take no formal action on the sketch
plan application. Rather, direction on the design will be given to the applicant from Staff
and the Commission to incorporate in the final design application.
Staff will provide full plan sets for you to provide written comments and guidance to the
applicant at your February 1, 2005 meeting.

•
The purpose and intent of this document is to establish site development, architectural,
and landscape design guidelines for individual property owners of Lots 1 thru 5, Western
Sage PUD. These guidelines should be used by property owners, architects, designers,
and builders, along with the "Town of Avon Residential. Commercial, and Industrial
design Review Guidelines", adopted November 6, 2001, when making decisions
regarding single-family residential development of Lots 1 thru 5, Western Sage PUD.
These guidelines are intended to ensure residential development of the highest quality
while preserving the unique natural character of the existing landscape. In addition, these
guidelines are established to preserve and protect property values by ensuring that future
development on Lots 1 thru 5 is compatible with existing structures, their surroundings,
and the unique built and natural environment of the Wildridge neighborhood.
Compatibility of future development can be achieved through proper consideration of
scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, and exterior building materials and colors.
Whenever possible, natural slopes and vegetation should be preserved and/or replaced.
The objective of future development on Lots 1 thru 5 is to 'fit" buildings into the
topography and to pay particular attention to preserving existing vegetation on the site.
In order to achieve the goal of high quality residential development which remains
sensitive to the natural character of the existing landscape, the developer and/or each
individual property owner should make all reasonable efforts to design and adhere to the
site development and landscape design recommendations set forth herein.
Western Sage PUD
Architectural Site Development & Landscape Design Guidelines
Individual property owners wishing to construct single-family residences on Lots 1 thru
5, Western Sage PUD are encouraged to adhere to the site development and landscape
design guidelines contained herein. Adherence is encouraged in the design phase of the
residences as well as during the actual construction process.
The Western Sage PUD, being located within the Wildridge Subdivision and the Town of
Avon municipal boundaries, shall be governed by all laws and ordinances duly adopted
by the Avon Town Council. This shall include, but not be limited to, compliance with
the Town's established zoning, land development regulations, design review guidelines
and development review processes. Design review of future development on Lots 1 thru
5 shall comply with the processes and procedures prescribed in the Town of Avon
Municipal Code.
Where conflicts between this document and the Town's duly adopted laws and
ordinances, exist, the Town's laws and ordinances shall take precedence and control.
Western Sage PUD
Architectural Site Development & Landscape Design Guidelines
SITE DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES
• Purpose
The site development guidelines are intended to protect the natural characteristics of the
site and to preserve the inherent qualities that exist within the Wildridge neighborhood.
To that end, the goal of the site development guidelines is to minimize and direct any
negative physical and visual impacts of single-family development within the Western
Sage PUD. For example, site grading, building location, vehicular access, slope
retention, drainage, etc. should be responsive to the topography and vegetation existing
on site. Buildings should blend in with the natural setting, be stepped with the natural
topography, and fit into their surroundings rather than appearing to have been forced onto
the site.
• Building Siting
All future development shall be constructed entirely within the platted building envelopes
with exceptions as noted on the Western Sage PUD Final Plat. The purpose of the
building envelope is to ensure the preservation of certain areas of the site, to help ensure
that future development responds favorably to the topography of the site, and to provide
the Town, neighbors and individual property owner's with assurances as to the future
location of each of the single-family residences. Limits of disturbance fences shall be
illustrated on the proposed site plan and demarcated on the property throughout the
duration of the construction process. Building siting should be responsive to existing
terrain features, established drainage courses, existing vegetation, views, and passive
solar exposure.
• Preservation of Existing Vegetation
The goal of the proposed landscape plan should be to preserve and enhance any natural
vegetation on the site. To that end, special attention shall be given to ensuring that
existing vegetation located within non -developable areas and areas not proposed to be
impacted by development is protected. To ensdre that existing vegetation is minimally
impacted, limits of disturbance fencing is required, erosion control measures shall be
taken, and approved site grading shall be strictly adhered to throughout the construction
process. Whenever possible, existing vegetation should be maintained as an asset to the
site rather than regarded as a nuisance which can be removed to ease the construction
process.
• Drainage
To the extent possible, all existing drainage patterns on the site should remain unaltered.
Once established, all drainage ways and easements shall remain free of obstructions.
Areas of concentrated runoff should be treated (ie. rip -rap) to minimize soil erosion.
Western Sage PUD
Architectural Site Development & Landscape Design Guidelines
Gutters should be installed to direct roof drainage away from areas such as garage
entrances, entrances and doorways, and patios or decks.
• Grading
Responsive grading can have long-lasting positive impacts to the site and surrounding
areas. All on-site improvements should be sensitively designed to minimize any
unnecessary disruption to the site. The presences of excessive retaining walls and
substantial loss of existing vegetation may be an indicator of excessive or inappropriate
grading. Built structures should be located to minimize the amount of grading and placed
in such a manner as to act as slope retainage for the site. The maximum grade of all
disturbed slopes shall not exceed 2:1. All grading should be sculpted to blend back into
the surrounding landforms to help maintain a natural appearance.
• Vehicular Access/Driveways
Whenever possible, all access drives should follow the natural contours and topography
of the site, respecting landforms and existing vegetation. Maximum driveway grades
shall conform to the Town's adopted standards for driveway access. Parking areas
should be screened with earthen berms and vegetation whenever possible. The length and
width of future driveways should be minimized to reduce the amount of impervious
surfaces on.the site. Adequate areas for snow storage shall be provided on each
individual site to prevent the accumulation of plowed snow along common access areas.
All driveway and parking surfaces shall be asphalt, concrete pavers, stone cobbles, or a
combination thereof. Driveways surfaces should be sited to take advantage of passive
solar exposure to prevent icing and the accumulation of snow.
• Fencing/Privacy Screening
Fencing around yards is prohibited. Privacy walls are discouraged. Privacy walls which
do not exceed six feet in height as measured from finish grade to the top of the wall may
be constructed around decks and hot tub areas. "Living" privacy walls (ie. trees, shrubs
and bushes) are the preferred alternative for providing screening and privacy within a
site.
• Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is necessary to provide security, safety, and aesthetic illumination of a
site. To prevent light pollution and intrusion of light onto adjoining properties, outdoor
light fixtures shall be directed only where light is needed and should be low level light
sources which are fully cut-off or shielded. The use of flood light fixtures and lights with
exposed bulbs is prohibited. Uplighting of landscaping and landscape features is
discouraged. The use of an automatic timer on outdoor landscape lighting is encouraged.
Western Sage PUD
Architectural Site Development & Landscape Design Guidelines
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
• Purpose
The architectural design guidelines are intended to preserve the aesthetic quality of the
built environment within the site and to enhance the visual aesthetic of the surrounding
residential neighborhood. To that end, the goal of the architectural design guidelines is to
provide architectural controls to ensure that the architectural design of structures and their
exterior materials and colors are visually harmonious with the town's overall appearance,
with surrounding development, and with natural and existing topography. For example,
building materials and colors, building scale and form, and building orientation should be
responsive to their surroundings. These guidelines are intended to promote residential
development of the highest quality.
• Building Height
Maximum building height shall not exceed 35 feet. Building height shall be determined
by utilizing the town's adopted methodology for calculating building height.
• Foundations
Building foundations shall be covered in stone, plaster stucco, or wood to prevent the
presence of exposed concrete foundation walls. Whenever possible, finish grade should
be brought up to minimize the amount of potentially exposed foundation wall area.
Minimum building code standards for distances between the ground and wood siding
shall be met.
• Exterior Wall Materials
Exterior wall materials should be an assemblage of materials that add architectural
variety, visual interest, and texture to the building. The use of highly durable, high
quality materials which weather well in a high altitude, mountainous environment is
encouraged. Exterior walls shall be designed with a clear definition of base, middle, and
top which should relate to the proposed building forms. Primary wall materials shall
include stone and wood siding. Plaster stucco may be acceptable when used in limited
amounts as a secondary wall material. Changes in wall materials should only occur at
inside corners of the building and along horizontal breaks in the elevations. No one wall
material should dominate an elevation of a structure. Generally speaking, stone veneer
should be used to establish a base for the building. Lighter materials such as wood siding
or plaster stucco should sit atop the stone and form the middle portion of the building.
Large, uninterrupted building wall segments should be avoided. Changes in wall
materials or wall material application along with window fenestration should be
incorporated into the design. Architectural details such as trim, shutters, corbels, bracing,
exposed rafters and beams, etc, should be included to add visual interest into the overall
design. A well-proportioned pitched roof shall be constructed to finish off the building.
Western Sage PUD
Architectural Site Development & Landscape Design Guidelines
• Fenestration
All windows should be appropriately sized to match their surrounding wall surfaces and
materials. Fenestration within field materials (plaster stucco and wood) should be
designed with decorative trim and sills, or heavy structural frames so that they do not
appear as "punch outs" in the wall. The shapes of windows should be selected to
complement the architecture of the building. All windows should strive to add visual
interest through the incorporation of mullions, muntins, and divided lites.
• Colors
Building colors for structures within the Western Sage PUD should be chosen to blend
with the surrounding mountain environment. Earth tones in various shades of browns,
beiges, and grays are encouraged. Colors and hues found in natural stones and naturally -
weathering woods are most desirable. Complementary darker colors of similar hues
should be used to accent decks, fascia, door and window trim, garage doors, etc.
• Roof Design
A well-designed roof is proportionate to the structure it sits atop. In the case of the
Western Sage PUD, primary roofs forms should be predominately gable roofs with a
pitch of at least 5/12. More steeply pitching roofs are encouraged. Roofs should be
designed with environmental and climatic considerations such as snow shedding,
drainage, solar exposure, wind direction, etc. in mind. Secondary roof forms such as shed
roofs are encouraged when used to cover exterior decks, entry ways, and dormers. Roof
surfacing shall be primarily asphalt shingles that are no less than 350 pounds per roofing
square. Metal materials such as corten and copper are encouraged on secondary roof
forms. In no instance, however, will metal roofs be permitted that reflect direct sunlight
onto adjacent properties. Roofs should contain deep eaves and overhangs that provide
protection from the elements and cast shadows upon the facade of the building.
• Chimneys
All flues 6" in diameter or greater which penetrate roofs shall be designed with chimneys.
The size of the chimney should be in scale with the architecture of the building.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
• Purpose
The landscape design guidelines are intended to preserve the aesthetic quality of the
natural environment of the site and to enhance the visual aesthetic of the site and the
surrounding residential neighborhood. To that end, the goal of the landscape design
guidelines is to provide landscape design controls to ensure that the landscape design
of site is visually harmonious with surrounding development and with the natural and
existing vegetation.
• Design Philosophy
The intended philosophy of the landscape design is to harmonize the building sites
with the natural topography and existing vegetation. Extra care should be taken to
disturb as little of the site as possible during the construction process. When areas are
disturbed, revegetation utilizing existing and native plants and grasses should be
utilized. The use of non-native plant materials shall be limited to providing accent
and color to the site and structures. Whenever possible, plants indigenous to the area
should be utilized. The landscape planting design should be such that it de-
emphasizes the location of property lines between the sites. Xersiscape practices are
highly encouraged to reduce water consumption and maintenance requirements.
Large turf areas are discouraged.
Recommended Landscape Plant Material
A recommended list of landscape plant materials can be found in Appendix 1, "Town
of Avon Residential Commercial and Industrial Design Review Guidelines",
adopted November 6, 2001. Additional plants that should be considered for use
include serviceberry, buckthorn, cotoneaster, sage, rabbitbrush, snowberry, and
mountain mahogany.
• Retaining Walls
Retaining walls design shall comply with the standards outlined in the,: `Town of
adopted November 6, 2001. Retaining wall materials shall be limited to concrete
walls with a stone veneer and dry stacked boulders.
• Irrigation
An automatic irrigation system is required for all turf, shrub, and tree areas to reduce
water loss and for ease of maintenance. The irrigation system shall be indicated on
the approved landscaping site plan.

Sketch Design C 0 L O RA D0
February 1, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date January 27, 2005
Project type Commercial Building Remodel
Legal description Lot 22, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision
Zoning Planned Unit Development - PUD
Address 222 Chapel Place, Chapel Square Building A
Introduction
The applicant, Belle Fare of Vail Valley, LLC, is proposing interior/exterior modifications
to Building A (formerly Panda City) to establish a gourmet food store and culinary
cooking center. The exterior improvements include: 1) an addition of 400 sq. ft. at the
north entrance, which will include an interior staircase from the first floor to the second
floor; 2) a walk-in cooler will be added to the south side of the building on the existing
patio area; 3) a new steel loading dock and steel ramp will be added to the south side of
the building, where the existing south side entry is located; 4) new 6' and 8' high cedar
fence around the southern patio area; and 5) anew roof supported by steel columns for
an outdoor seating area on the existing southern patio.
The first floor gourmet food store will include bakery and coffee shop, wine center,
sandwich and salad cafe, and specialty and prepared foods. The second floor will
consist of a banquet facility, tabletop and cookware retail, and the culinary cooking
center.
Staff Comments
The proposed exterior design modifications appears to generally conform to the Town of
Avon Residential Commercial and Industrial Design Review Guidelines. The proposed
use of the Belle Fare establishment appears to conform to the allowed uses indicated in
the Chapel Square PUD. The major improvements for the north entrance are proposed
to match the existing materials in Chapel Square.
The roofing material proposed for the south patio (translucent polycarbonate) is not
specifically listed in the commercial design guidelines as an acceptable or unacceptable
material. Steel trusses are proposed to support the roof. The commercial guidelines
state 'exposed metal flashing, gutters, downspouts or other building appurtenances must
be copper, steel, iron or aluminum, applied and fastened in a high quality manner.
When painted, these elements must be finished with a baked enamel paint, epoxy paint,
or a silicon -modified alloy'. At final design the applicant shall indicate if any steel will be
exposed and what product will be used to paint the steel.

Lot 22, Block 2, BMBC Belle rare Sketch Design
February 1, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 2
The applicant is proposing to use a seasonal wall to enclose a portion of the south patio
area. The wall will consist of a canvas material, which is not specifically listed as an
acceptable or unacceptable material in the commercial design guidelines. Staff is
recommending the Commission specifically address this material.
Prior to, or along with the final design application Belle Fare will be required to submit an
application for a sign permit. If the proposed signs do not comply with the master sign
program for the Chapel Square PUD, Belle Fare will be required to amend the sign
program.
The sketch plan as presented generally conforms to the Town's commercial design
guidelines. However, staff has identified several issues that need further clarification
prior to submittal of the final design plan. These issues include: 1) the proposed
translucent polycarbonate roofing material; 2) what material will be used to paint any
exposed steel on the patio enclosure; 3) proposed canvas material for the seasonal
patio wall; and 4) sign permit.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission and Staff shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the
specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria:
A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code.
B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D of
the Town of Avon Residential Commercial and Industrial Design Review
Guidelines.
Staff will prepare a memo to the Commission highlighting anticipated areas of discussion
for the submittal materials. The Commission will take no formal action on the sketch
plan application. Rather, direction on the design will be given to the applicant from Staff
and the Commission to incorporate in the final design application.
Staff will provide full plan sets for you to provide written comments and guidance to the
applicant at your February 1, 2005 meeting.
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please call me at
748-4017, or stop by the Community Development Department.
