Comprehensive Plan Update — PUBLIC HEARING Description: Review the planning principles and recommendations within the Medium Priority Districts (Subareas) and work through Draft Plan Observation Summary as it pertains to the Medium Priority Districts. Rebecca Leonard approached the podium to begin discussion on the Medium Priority Districts. Conversation began with moving the Town's Municipal Center and creating the area as an amenity. Commissioner Evans mentioned that the area would be a western anchor to the Town of Avon. Commissioner Struve mentioned the need to focus parking on the Nottingham area and screening of the Beaver Creek parking lots. District 6: The "Gates" and Folsom property were discussed and their direction of development. Ms. Leonard remarked that further information on this site was necessary to format a use for the area. District 7: Commissioner Struve commented that a portion of this site was designated as a school site. District 8: Commissioner Smith questioned the multi use of District 8 and it was agreed that District should begin by Post Blvd. Commissioner D'Agostino mentioned that the Comp Plan should reflect a buffer area for any.school site from commercial use. Commissioner Struve mentioned that East Beaver Creek Boulevard should be developed as a boulevard with plantings and presence. It was agreed consideration for this issue should be within the Comp Plan. District 9: Conversation revolved around the need for commercial projects on the exit of Post Blvd and the desire to keep said commercial to be screened from the highway and not to exclude the high end residential already proposed in the area. The pedestrian bridge across I- 70 was to be removed due to its steep grades. District 10 discussion mentioned the need to bullet point the access by bridge to the site. District 11 is located at the Metcalf Commercial District and comments included future developments and redevelopment to focus on the issues of access to sites, require proper on-site parking and circulation and to add a provision for a bike lane or path on Metcalf Road that would tie into the current bike path system. The next steps begin with the Design Charette for the Main Street Public Improvement. Lot C is scheduled for July 19"' and the Confluence will be presented shortly thereafter. There was no public input. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING VII. • Final Design -Tabled at the June 21" Commission Meeting Property Location: Lot 12, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision/540 Beaver Creek Blvd. Applicant/Owner. Davis Partnership Architects/Daniel Ritsch Description: The applicant, Davis Partnership Architects; is proposing a 13 unit residential project on this lot. The proposed materials include a combination of stone veneer and wood siding with a maximum building height of 60' and maximum lot coverage of approximately 48°x. The subject property measures approximately .69 acres and is currently undeveloped. Eric Heidemann presented the Staff Report to the commission Daniel Ritsch approached the podium to present his project. Scott Nevin, architect, presented photos of the area to show the current development around Nottingham Lake, described each building and their heights and distance to setbacks, and their relationship to this project. Cody Engle, Buck Creek Condo owner, approached the podium to discuss the Buck Creek Condominium Association's stance on the project. Mr. Engle continued that it is the scale and height of the project that the Association rejects and that the view from Beaver Creek Boulevard reflects the height of the project to be twice as tall as the Buck Creek and the Alpenflora sites. Mr. Engle continued that the drainage in the area is a huge concern and the designated snow storage site proposed drainage is not acceptable. Mr. Engle suggested the project shrink about 25% and it would then be acceptable. Commissioner review began with Commissioner Savage commenting about right of use for the site and the massive design of the proposed project. Commissioner Evans voiced that the project has maxed out every limitation of the code regarding height, width, and parking; all decks are clipped in order to keep this form. within the property lines. As well, Commissioner Evans voiced that this project sets a precedent for other developers in Avon and it is out of scale with the surrounding structures. Ferra Dendra, Alpenflora resident, commented that the project was crammed onto the site, believed that they needed additional green space on the site and was concerned about the C project's impact on her green space area. Commissioner Smith agreed with the massive structure on the site and downscaling would assist the project. Commissioner D'Agostino agreed with Commissioner Evans comments, all minimum guidelines are met, appreciated the development done with the design, but disclosed an inconsistency with the goals of the guidelines. She continued that the intent was for the consistency of all the structures in an area and encouraged the applicant to reduce the number of units. Commissioner Savage motioned to deny Item VII, Final Design, Property Location: Lot 12, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision/540 Beaver Creek Blvd, following staff's recommendation. Commissioner D'Agostino seconded the motion. Commissioner Evans requested clarification to the design criteria so the applicant would fully understand the denial in the event that an appeal is made to Town Council. Commissioner Savage commented that the project does not conform to the adjacent property's size and mass, particularly mass. Commissioner Savage suggested that the new proposal not stretch the limits of the legal use of the property. Commissioner D'Agostino added that perhaps more green space, the project demonstrates only hard-scape, use of open space to break down the scale and move the use to open space. She continued that the secondary building on the site was there to meet the 13 residences permitted on the site. Commissioner Evans paraphrased the criteria: 1- disproportionate massing in relationship to its neighbors, 2- dominance that the project exhibits in respect to its neighbors which conflicts with the Design Guidelines, and 3- the apparent lack of green space or open space surrounding the project or for use by occupants of the project. Commissioner D'Agostino continued that open space might meet drainage issues as well. All commissioners were in favor of the motion for denial and the motion passed 5 to 0. VIII. PUD Amendment I Preliminary Subdivision Plan Review I Subdivision Variance - Dry Creek - Tabled at the June 21't Commission meeting - PUBLIC HEARING Property Location: Lot 44, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision/2510 Old Trail Road Applicant/Owner. Blue Bird Meadows, LLC Description: A request for an amendment to the Wildridge PUD to allow for three (detached) single-family residences in place of a four dwelling unit (one four-plex) structure. This amendment would permanently reduce the density for the property. Vehicular access would be through an access easement on the neighboring property on Lot 45, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision. Also being reviewed is a Preliminary Subdivision application and a Subdivision Variance application to allow for the creation of lots within the proposed Dry Creek PUD that do not meet the minimum street frontage requirement of twenty-five feet. Eric Heidemann presented the Staff Report. George Ruther, representative, approached the podium to respond to the Staff Report. Mr. Ruther began that the home size has been reduced from 5,000 square feet to 4,500 square feet for one lot and two lots at 4,000 square feet. He continued that the originally designated site for a four-plex would have had greater square footage, 4 parking spaces per residence with the hope of providing a three -car garage, and a re -design of the access to accommodate emergency vehicles. Commissioner Evans questioned Mr. Ruther on the down zoning of the lot from 4 residences to 3 residences. Mr: Ruther responded that a public benefit was created by the 25% reduction in residences plus the ability to provide half -acre lots. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING Trent Hubbard, Wildridge resident and developer, approached the podium to comment on changes made since the last meeting. Intent for diversity for other locals and square footage reduction to the three residences was addressed. Eric Heidemann quoted the average square footage home per NWCCOG in order to keep locals within the market prices. Commissioner Savage commented that local housing's intent was to be affordable and not million dollar homes as these properties fetch. Mr. Heidemann mentioned that consideration for the housing policies was requested of this project. Commissioner Evans questioned the ability for these units to be owned as a deed -restricted unit. The response was that a four-plex would need to be built. Commissioner Evans continued that the housing policy was at issue. Mr. Ruther stated that compliance was for the Comp Plan; he had identified 24 policies that were applicable to this project. Andrew Karow, Avon resident, approached the podium, to discuss the housing policy. He continued that one development right for one housing unit really doesn't matter, but a four-plex would probably attract second homeowners as single-family homes would probably attract locals. Mr. Karow voiced that the precedent of down zoning already exists in Wildridge. He stated that the previously presented application was trying to maximize the site and this application was to minimize site impact. The precedent of down zoning exists in Wildridge with shared access and this application provides for greater green space and less asphalt, as well as neighbors working together, voiced Mr. Karow. He continued that no Variance was required as the PUD for the access covers it. Commissioner Struve commented that the applicant has addressed the Commission's original concerns, Wildridge has the most diversity of any community in the Valley and additional diversity is not an issue, Wildridge has become a local community, and cannot make the applicant responsible for housing prices in the valley. Commissioner Buckner did not believe this development would depreciate his home, felt this project was more of a cluster home situation, local housing in the master plan was done prior to the development of Barrancas and Buffalo Ridge, and the who the buyer would be is not applicable for determination of this application, and Wildridge is well diversified. Commissioner D'Agostino commented that it is not a matter of a one -unit reduction, but the perception of three large single-family homes on the hillside, expressed the need for single-family homes in Wildridge. Commissioner Smith agreed with comments made, commented on the good job done on the modifications made, and supports the downsizing. Commissioner Savage expressed that approval by the Carol Mulson, Eagle River Fire Protection District, for the access proposed would be criteria of approval for this application. CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING PUD Amendment: Commissioner Struve motioned for approval and Commissioner Smith seconded. The motion was for a Resolution recommending approval of the PUD Amendment to Town Council for the application as presented with 4,500 square footage on lot 3, 4,000 square feet on lots 1 and 2; square footage is inclusive, gross buildable area and a letter of acceptance in writing for the access from the Eagle River Fire Protection District. All commissioners were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Subdivision Variance Request: Commissioner Smith motioned to approve with the three conditions outlined by staff for Lot 44, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision/2510 Old Trail. Road, Commissioner Struve seconded and the motion passed unanimously. IX. Special Review Use Permit — Wildridge TLC — Home Daycare - PUBLIC HEARING Property Location: Lot 45C, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision/2520C Old Trail Road Applicant: Jennifer Mach Description: Jennifer Mach is requesting a Special Review Use (SRU) permit to allow for a children's daycare at a single-family home on Old Trail Road. The applicant has held a permit for this use since original approval on March 5, 2002 in the adjacent duplex property. Matt Pielsticker presented the Staff Report. For the record, letters were received from Jody and Mark Andrews in support, and Ann Emmert and Rachelle Boe, also provided letters of support for this SRU. Jennifer Mach approached podium as owner of Wildridge TLC to comment on this SRU and the letter from an adjacent homeowner, Andre de Lucinges. Ms. Mach mentioned that she has a license for 8 children who include her own 2 children, her own separate driveway for drop off, and child safety. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING Andre de Lucinges, Lot 45A (west side of duplex), neighbor prior to the Mach family moving to their single family home, reiterated that he did count 9 children in Ms. Mach's care, checked the record of the Town of Avon for this permit and that it is licensed by the Town of Avon for only 6 infants and not 8 children. He commented that 6 vehicles were parked in area and the camper should be housed in the garage per Wildridge guidelines. Commissioner Evans questioned the impact of the childcare now that it is housed in a single-family home. Mr. de Lucinges commented that he has had to wait for space to access his lot due to this home business. CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING Commissioner review began with Commissioner Buckner that there should be a discussion on the impact caused on their neighbor. Commissioner Struve was concerned that this is an after the fact issue and Mr. de Lucinges' concerns should be addressed, and agreed that childcare was necessary. Commissioner Smith voiced the concerns with the children in the driveway, questioned the type of license in possession and number of children permitted. Commissioner Savage mentioned the after the fact issue of this application, voiced his concern with her neighbor not able to access his property, staggered pick and drip off was required in ten minute intervals, children should be contained in a fenced area, recommended that the neighbor document excess children numbers, toys should be monitored, and stringent conditions of approval for the SRU should be dictated. Commissioner Evans commented that the neighbor needed to communicate with the childcare provider if any issues exist. Commissioner Savage made motion to approve Item IX, Special Review Use Permit — Wildridge TLC — Home Daycare - PUBLIC HEARING, Property Location Lot 45C, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision/25200 Old Trail Road, with a condition that this permit will be reviewed in 12 months time and to include staff recommendations 2 thru 5. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion with the criteria for yearly review and memo of staffs consent regarding the review. All commissioners were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. X. Other Business Eric Heidemann mentioned the open houses for this Thursday and Friday regarding the Confluence. Commissioner Buckner questioned the Forstmann development of a 150 -room hotel on his property. The Design Charette will be next week. Condemnation of the Al Williams property was still being sought and not finalized. Lot 61 was anticipated to submit a PUD amendment. The Gates construction will be revisited. XI.

The proposed•drive through would be located on the former "chapel" site, behind the City Market grocery store. All materials and colors of the canopy would match the existing building (Lot 22-A), and Wells Fargo bank occupies the entire first floor of the building. During sketch plan review at the Commission's June 151', 2005 meeting discussion included: vehicle clearance requirements, landscaping, the sidewalk, and the revisions and improvements made to the revised canopy and site design. History The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed a similar application three times in the past four months. On February 15, 2005 the Commission reviewed a sketch design application for the drive up facility and at their April 19, 2005 meeting the Commission unanimously approved a final design application for the project. The Town Council called up the Commission's final design approval at their April 26, 2005 meeting. Council remanded the application back to the Commission, and a revised final design plan was presented to the Planning Commission at their May 17, 2005 meeting. The Commission unanimously approved the remanded (revised) application. The Council again overturned and effectively denied the Commission's approval with a 5-1 vote at their May 24, 2005 meeting. The last review the Commission made was a new sketch plan at the Commission's June 21st, 2005 meeting. 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: Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949-5749 1 Lot 22AB, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Remodel Final Design July 19th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 5 1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Town of Avon Zoning Code. This application appears to be in compliance with all applicable zoning requirements imposed by Zoning Code and the'Chapel Square PUD. Snow storage must be demonstrated on the building submittal. 2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains. This project is in general conformance with the Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed improvements. There are adequate development rights for these improvements to take place. 4. The final design plan is in compliance with all sketch plan approval criteria and with all final design plan submittal requirements. • Site Development. o Site Design: The site design remains similar to the original submittal with the vehicle entrance near the 25' tall freestanding Outback sign, and wrapping around the north side of the building. Minimal grading is required to site the proposed improvements. o Site Access: Access to the proposed drive up bank would be provided with a 16' wide drive and would open to two covered lanes and one uncovered lane of traffic near the building. Access is via an access easement, which extends from East Beaver Creek Boulevard to Chapel Place. Staff is concerned with vehicle movements leaving the drive through lane closest to the building. Longer vehicles may have difficulty with maneuvering out of this lane. Vehicle stacking is demonstrated with this final design submittal as requested at sketch plan review, and it appears to be in compliance with the Town Zoning Code. The Code requires at least "5 storage spaces/outside teller window or drop station" and it appears that at least 8 spaces are provided on the site plan. o Parking and Loading: Seven parking spaces are eliminated with the proposed site design. All restriped parking spaces appear to be in compliance with the Guideline's standards. The Design Guidelines recommend at least two handicapped stalls, and two stalls are provided. o Easements: There is a 10' Utility Easement located where the canopy is proposed, and a transformer is located within this Utility Easement. The transformer would need to be relocated and this Utility Easement abandoned for this site design to function. Prior to issuance of a building permit, it must be evidenced that all utility companies have officially vacated this easement and the previously approved resubdivision plat must be recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office.

The submitted site plan only indicates existing grades with solid contour lines. Grading in easements and setbacks is expected to be restored and revegetated to natural conditions before site construction is complete. o Drainage: Drainage from the drive through lanes must be indicated on the building permit submittal. During previous reviews the 10' Drainage Easement was identified on the eastern property line and this Easement must remain functional and unobstructed. o Snow Removal and Storage: Snow removal has not been demonstrated with this submittal and must be indicated prior to a building pen -nit being issued. An area equal to 20% of the newly created impervious surface must be demonstrated on the site plan at submittal for building permit. o Sidewalks: The existing sidewalk will remain in tact according to the letter provided by the applicant. The Commission questioned the sidewalk and whether it would remain at the previous review. • Building Design: o Building Height As stated, the existing building's height remains the same with this application. There is a twelve (12) foot average vehicle clearance and fourteen (14) foot maximum clearance provided at the highest point of the archways of the canopy. The attached letter from the applicant clarifies the clearance requirements for Wells Fargo Bank. o Building Materials and Colors: The canopy itself would include three drive lanes and would match the existing building with a stucco cornice detail and cultured stone veneer base. Stucco color would match the stucco on the main building. Cultured stone would be added to the base to match the existing buildings. o Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Architectural Interest•. A flat roof is proposed for the new canopy structure. The applicant explored a sloped roof option during previous reviews. o Outdoor Lighting: A reflective ceiling drawing was provided with a previous submittal and it appears that eight (8) 50 -watt Metal Halide (fully recessed) fixtures would be located underneath the canopy. Additionally, one wall mounted "full cutoff" sconce, 70 watt fixture, is proposed to be installed 10' above grade at the night depository box immediately west of the canopy. A lighting cut sheet for the proposed canopy lights was provided to the Town. This light is fully recessed and in compliance with the Town's Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. The proposed 70 -watt fixture is indicated as "full cutoff' but without a cut sheet this cannot be verified. This light may be too high above the night - depository and with the close proximity to the canopy a light may not be Town of Avon Community Development (970) 7484030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Lot 22AB, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision,, Remodel Final Design July 19th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 4 of 5 necessary in this location. A complete lighting plan, in compliance with the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, must be provided to the Town. • Landscaping: o Design Character. The landscape plan has been modified since last review, and new landscaping has been provided. Added to the previous plan are additional Rocky Mtn. Columbines, Yellow Potentillas, and six Colorado Blue Spruce trees. The size of the newly added trees is not indicated on the plans. o Erosion Control: Erosion control must be provided during construction. A Construction Staging Plan must be included with a building permit submittal (on separate sheet of paper) and must identify proposed erosion control measures and staging. Miscellaneous: o Signs: Signage will be reviewed with a separate application. o Communications and Satellite Dish Antennae: The plans do not indicate any additional communication or satellite dish antennae. If any new rooftop equipment is required for the new tenants, a separate Minor Project application must be submitted and approved before installation. 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. Site disturbance must be contained to the site and all finished grading must be reviewed prior to building permit issuance. The site has a gentle existing slope towards the building from the vehicle entrance location. 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 proposed improvements would be highly visible from East Beaver Creek Boulevard and would also be visible from Interstate 70 and the Village at Avon. 7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired. No monetary or aesthetic values should be impaired with this design application. 8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. This project appears to be in general conformance with the adopted Goals and Policies for the Town of Avon.

The Commission unanimously approved the remanded (revised) application. The Council again overturned and effectively denied the Commission's approval with a 5-1 vote at their May 24, 2005 meeting. The last review the Commission made was a new sketch plan at the Commission's June 21 st, 2005 meeting. Review Considerations According to the Town of Guidelines, Section 7, th< the design of this project: Town of Avon Community Development shall consider (970) 7411.4030 following Fax (970) 6l Lot 22AB, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Remodel Final Design July 19th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 5 1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Town of Avon Zoning Code. This application appears to be in compliance with all applicable zoning requirements imposed by Zoning Code and the Chapel Square PUD. Snow storage must be demonstrated on the building submittal. 2. The general conformance with Goats and Policies of the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains. This project is in general conformance with the Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed improvements. There are adequate development rights for these improvements to take place. 4. The final design plan is in compliance with all sketch plan approval criteria and with all final design plan submittal requirements. • Site Development•. o Site Design: The site design remains similar to the original submittal with the vehicle entrance near the 25' tall freestanding Outback sign, and wrapping around the north side of the building. Minimal grading is required to site the proposed improvements. o Site Access: Access to the proposed drive up bank would be provided with a 16' wide drive and would open to two covered lanes and one uncovered lane of traffic near the building. Access is via an access easement, which extends from East Beaver Creek Boulevard to Chapel Place. Staff is concerned with vehicle movements leaving the drive through lane closest to the building. Longer vehicles may have difficulty with maneuvering out of this lane. Vehicle stacking is demonstrated with this final design submittal as requested at sketch plan review, and it appears to be in compliance with the Town Zoning Code. The Code requires at least "5 storage spaces/outside teller window or drop station" and it appears that at least 8 spaces are provided on the site plan. o Parking and Loading: Seven parking spaces are eliminated with the proposed site design. All restriped parking spaces appear to be in compliance with the Guideline's standards. The Design Guidelines recommend at least two handicapped stalls, and two stalls are provided. o Easements: There is a 10' Utility Easement located where the canopy is proposed, and a transformer is located within this Utility Easement. The transformer would need to be relocated and this Utility Easement abandoned for this site design to function. Prior to issuance of a building permit, it must be evidenced that all utility companies have officially vacated this easement and the previously approved resubdivision plat must be recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office.

The submitted site plan only indicates existing grades with solid contour lines. Grading in easements and setbacks is expected to be restored and revegetated to natural conditions before site construction is complete. o Drainage: Drainage from the drive through lanes must be indicated on the building permit submittal. During previous reviews the 10' Drainage Easement was identified on the eastern property line and this Easement must remain functional and unobstructed. o Snow Removal and Storage: Snow removal has not been demonstrated with this submittal and must be indicated prior to a building permit being issued. An area equal to 20% of the newly created impervious surface must be demonstrated on the site plan at submittal for building permit. o Sidewalks: The existing sidewalk will remain in tact according to the letter provided by the applicant. The Commission questioned the sidewalk and whether it would remain at the previous review. Building Design: o Building Height As stated, the existing building's height remains the same with this application. There is a twelve (12) foot average vehicle clearance and fourteen (14) foot maximum clearance provided at the highest point of the archways of the canopy. The attached letter from the applicant clarifies the clearance requirements for Wells Fargo Bank. o Building Materials and Colors: The canopy itself would include three drive lanes and would match the existing building with a stucco cornice detail and cultured stone veneer base. Stucco color would match the stucco on the main building. Cultured stone would be added to the base to match the existing buildings. o Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Architectural Interest. A flat roof is proposed for the new canopy structure. The applicant explored a sloped roof option during previous reviews. ' o Outdoor Lighting: A reflective ceiling drawing was provided with a previous submittal and it appears that eight (8) 50 -watt Metal Halide (fully recessed) fixtures would be located underneath the canopy. Additionally, one wall mounted "full cutoff" sconce, 70 watt fixture, is proposed to be installed 10' above grade at the night depository box immediately west of the canopy. A lighting cut sheet for the proposed canopy lights was provided to the Town. This light is fully recessed and in compliance with the Town's Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. The proposed 70 -watt fixture is indicated as "full cutoff" but without a cut sheet this cannot be verified. This light may be too high above the night depository and with the close proximity to the canopy a light may not be Town of Avon Community Development (970) 7484030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Lot 22AB, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Remodel Final Design July 19th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 4 of 5 necessary in this location. A complete lighting plan, in compliance with the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, must be provided to the Town. • Landscaping: o Design Character. The landscape plan has been modified since last review, and new landscaping has been provided. Added to the previous plan are additional Rocky Mtn. Columbines, Yellow Potentillas, and six Colorado Blue Spruce trees. The size of the newly added trees is not indicated on the plans. o Erosion Control: Erosion control must be provided during construction. A Construction Staging Plan must be included with a building permit submittal (on separate sheet of paper) and must identify proposed erosion control measures and staging. • Miscellaneous: o � Signs: Signage will be reviewed with a separate application. o Communications and Satellite Dish Antennae: The plans do not indicate any additional communication or satellite dish antennae. If any new rooftop equipment is required for the new tenants, a separate Minor Project application must be submitted and approved before installation. 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. Site disturbance must be contained to the site and all finished grading must be reviewed prior to building permit issuance. The site has a gentle existing slope towards the building from the vehicle entrance location. 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 proposed improvements would be highly visible from East Beaver Creek Boulevard and would also be visible from Interstate 70 and the Village at Avon. 7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired. No monetary or aesthetic values should be impaired with this design application. 8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. This project appears to be in general conformance with the adopted Goals and Policies for the Town of Avon. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends conditional approval of this final design submittal for a drive -up banking facility. The following issues must be addressed prior to a building permit submittal: Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Lot 22AB, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Remodel Final Design July 19th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 5 of 5 1. The property line and 10' Utility Easement between Lot 22A and Lot 22B must be officially vacated, and the Resubdivision Plat must be recorded. 2. Snow storage must be demonstrated. An area equal to 20% of the newly created impervious surface must be designated on a site plan and maintained as a permanent snow storage area. 3. A construction staging plan must be submitted. The staging plan must be on a separate sheet of paper and demonstrate all proposed erosion control measures and site staging for construction. 4.

The proposed drive through would be located on the former "chapel" site, behind the City Market grocery store. All materials and colors of the canopy would match the existing building (Lot 22-A), and Wells Fargo bank occupies the entire first floor of the building. During sketch plan review at the Commission's June 15th, 2005 meeting discussion included: vehicle clearance requirements, landscaping, the sidewalk, and the revisions and improvements made to the revised canopy and site design. History The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed a similar application three times in the past four months. On February 15, 2005 the Commission reviewed a sketch design application for the drive up facility and at their April 19, 2005 meeting the Commission unanimously approved a final design application for the project. The Town Council called up the Commission's final design approval at their April 26, 2005 meeting. Council remanded the application back to the Commission, and a revised final design plan was presented to the Planning Commission at their May 17, 2005 meeting. The Commission unanimously approved the remanded (revised) application. The Council again overturned and effectively denied the Commission's approval with a 5-1 vote at their May 24, 2005 meeting. The last review the Commission made was a new sketch plan at the Commission's June 21st, 2005 meeting.

Town of Avon Minor Project Staff Report JUly 19th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Report date July 8th, 2005 Project type Design Changes Legal description Lot 16, Block 1, Eaglebend Subdivision Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) Address 4040 Eaglebend Drive Introduction Todd Grzywinski, builder and owner of this property on.Eaglebend Drive, is proposing changes to the approved final design for a duplex that is currently under construction. Included within the application are the following proposed design changes: • Material change for wainscoat on street elevation from river rock to moss rock veneer. • Material change for column deck support feature from stucco to moss rock veneer. • Color change for siding from "Crossroads SW3521" to "Evergreen." • Color change (minor) for stucco. • Material change for driveway from asphalt to exposed aggregate concrete. A color/material board will be available for Commission review during Work Session on the night of the meeting. The color change for the siding has already been applied to the structure. Additionally, some of the moss rock has been applied to the deck support features. Refer to the attached pictures for reference. General Approval Criteria According to the Commission's Review and Approval Criteria, Section 7, Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Design Guidelines, the Commission shall review this application according to the following criteria: 1. The project complies with the Town of Avon Zoning Regulations. This project would remain in compliance with the Town Zoning Code. 2. The project has general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains. Does not apply. 3. There exist adequate development rights for the proposed Improvements. Does not apply. Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Design Approval Criteria According to Section 7 from the Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Design Guidelines, the Commission shall review the design of all final design plans utilizing specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria: A. That the final design plan is in compliance with all sketch plan approval criteria and with all final design plan submittal requirements. Does not apply. B. The compatibility of proposed Improvements with the site topography, to minimize site disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or other significant alteration of existing topography. No changes are proposed to the site topography or to the building footprint. C. 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 proposed design changes will be visible from Eaglebend Drive and the Eagle River. Massing and height of the building remain the same with this application. All materials are of high quality and a stone veneer base for the column supports may enhance the project in place of stucco. The predominate building material is wood siding and the color change proposed for the siding will change the appearance as viewed from neighboring properties. The proposed (already applied) siding stain color is darker than the approved color. The Residential Design Guidelines require "indigenous natural or earth tone colors.n It is questionable whether the stain color is either earth tone or appropriate for the neighborhood, and staff would encourage the Commission tovisit the property prior to the meeting. D. The objective that no Improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired. It is staff's opinion that no monetary values will be impaired with the proposed design changes. The stain color is darker than others on the street, and aesthetic values can be impaired with the color selection. E. The general conformance of the proposed Improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. The proposed changes are in general conformance with the adopted Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon. Recommendation Staff is recommending partial approval of the proposed design changes to Lot 16, Block 1, Eaglebend Subdivision. Recommended Motion 'I move to approve the design changes for Lot 16, Block 1, Eaglebend Subdivision with the following conditions: 1. The stain color is not approved.

An irrigation table must be provided." Both the original and new proposed landscape plans are attached for your review. The new landscape plan incorporates new landscaping in the area between the driveway and first retaining wall and appears to have addressed the Commission's concerns and condition of approval. AKS Engineers, the engineers of record, recommend that 'plantings that do not require constant irrigation once they are established, are natural to the botanical community, and are very drought tolerant be utilized at the top of walls and in between the walls." Also, 'trees such as Ponderosa Pine or other pines and deciduous trees are appropriate at the base of the wall along the roadway." The new (revised) landscape plan incorporates the following new plantings in between and in front of the retaining walls: • 8 Lilacs • 9 Chokechemes, and • 10 additional 2" aspen trees The new plantings proposed are drought tolerant and should not require 'constant irrigation once they are established.'

Inc. `V11„'�- Community Development Town District Planning Principles Low Pnonty D4stncts Low Priority Districts District 17: West Residential District The West Residential District is the western gateway to town. Presently, the west residential district consists of the Aspens Mobile Home Park. In recent years, improvements to landscape treatments, fences, and general clean up have resulted in the area presenting itself as a vital, affordable neighborhood. The area has the potential to be redeveloped over time as a higher density, master -planned, affordable residential area. This could be considered in the long-term future of Avon when residential developments in the area reach capacity, and alternative solutions for housing are being sought. Those solutions should include pocket parks and enhanced pedestrian connectivity. Planning Principles and Recommendations: Coordinate with CDOT to introduce low landforms and plantings (trees and shrubs) along the southern 1-70 right-of- way to buffer the mobile home park from the interstate and light industrial uses across the interstate. In addition, the view from I-70 to the mobile home park will be screened while preserving views to downtown. • Encourage continued improvements to the visual quality of the area. • Limit building heights to three stories, and require developments to demonstrate preservation of views to the Town Core through the strategic placement of open space or the further limitation of building heights. • Encourage the construction of a pocket park to service the residential development in the area. District 18: River Residential District The River Residential District is a major local's residential area. Much of the river residential district has been developed, but future residential development that will occur along the river beyond the boundaries shown on the Urban Design Plan should be developed in accordance with the recommendations for this District. The major design influences are U.S. Highway 6, the riparian environment along the Eagle River, and public access to the river. Sensitive site planning, architectural detailing, and appropriate setbacks, color, and scale of structure should be used to preserve the character of the river and its associated natural habitat. Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan Page 29 Town District Planning Principles Low Priority Districts Planning Principles and Recommendations: • Encourage redevelopment to take into consideration the objectives of the Eagle River Watershed Management Plan including river setbacks and best practices for development in proximity to the river. • Provide a public access easement, where appropriate, within building setback areas in new development adjacent to the. Eagle River for public enjoyment of the river and construction of a public recreational trail. • Provide public parking and signage at strategically located` trailbeads. • Encourage the furtherenhancement of the ECO Trail. • Buildings should be oriented to capitalize, upon the Eagle River as an amenity. Parking areas, trash dumpsters, and other uses that could potentially disrupt the quality of the river environment should be located away from the river and designed to have the least impact on the river corridor. • Limit building height to a scale that is subordinate to the Town Core and compatible with the river environment. • Plant indigenous trees and shrubs to screen existing large residential buildings along U.S: Highway 6 and provide; landforms and landscaping between residences and U.S. Highway 6. • Enhance the pedestrian experience by adding sidewalks along all roads on the valley floor. • Conduct a Historical Inventory/Evaluation. District 19: Nottingham Park Residential District Nottingham Park is bordered to the west, north, and northeast by existing high quality residential development. Provisions for pedestrians and bicyclists along West Beaver Creek Boulevard and adequate screening of parking and trash areas would help enhance the character of the area. Planning Principles and Recommendations: • Encourage existing development and require redevelopment to screen parking and trash areas with landscaping material. • Require new development to be at least of the same quality Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan Page 30 y Town District Planning Principles4, Low Priority Districts and character as existing development. District 20: Nottingham Road Residential District This district is characterized by limited developable area due to steep slopes to the north, frontage on Nottingham Road, which is classified as a commercial collector road, and high exposure to I- 70. Existing residential development is typically multi -family buildings with tasteful architecture. Planning Principles and Recommendationar • Encourage additional informal landscaping of existing properties to soften the visual impact of the large structures. • Reseed exposed slopes with native grasses and wildflowers. • Require new development to provide a landscape buffer adjacent to Nottingham Road and I-70. • Encourage redevelopment by offering incentives to landowners. District 21:1-70 Gateway The interchange on 1-70 at Avon Road is the main gateway to the Town. A lighted gateway sign is suitably placed along the west bound off ramp to Avon. However, the gateway approach needs to be redesigned to further enhance the overall image of this gateway. The emphasis should be on the creation of a positive entry experience that extends the character of the Town Core to Avon's front door. Planning Principles and Recommendations: • Enhance the intersections at the ontoff ramps on Avon Road to include,streetscape improvements and special landscape features. • Improve the 1-70 interchange for pedestrians and bikers. District 22: Wildridge Residential District This area consists of a residential subdivision containing varying densities, located on the sunny, south -facing slopes north of the main valley floor. The character for the developed landscape should reflect the area's dry climate and typically steep terrain through the use of low water -requiring plant materials and natural landscaping. Due to the limited amount of existing trees Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan ,Page 31 Town District Planning Principles Low Priority Districts and shrubs and the open character of the property, special care should be taken to ensure that all structures are compatible with one another and in harmony with the natural surroundings. Planning Principles and Recommendations: •, Construct bicycle lanes along Metcalf and Wildridge Roads. . • Consider a trail system through open space areas in Wildiidge to provide alternatives to the roadways for pedestrian circulation. • . Preserve and enhance the existing open space trails and explore the possibility of developing additional parcels into pocket parks. • ' Acquire and maintain as public open space the U.S. Forest Servicc-owned parcel adjacent to Wildridge that includes Beaver Creek Point. • Improve the intersection of Metcalf and Nottingham Roads, and implement the other recommendations for District 4 to enhance the entry to Wildridge. Add an alternative or second access route to Wildridge (perhaps forest service road during the spring and summer). • Identify and delineate all open space parcels and public traits. District 23: Mountain Star Residential District This area is a planned unit development established in 1992, of large -lot, single-family homes, located east of Wildridge on the south -facing slopes north of the main valley floor. This covenant -controlled, gated community has its own design review committee. Planning Principles and Recommendations: • Prohibit significant alteration of natural environment and minimize stress on wildlife and loss of habitat. • Consider the development of a trailhead to access the surrounding public lands. Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan Page 32 Town District Planning Principles Low Priority Districts District 24: Swift Gulch District The Town of Avon's Public Works and Transportation Departments are located in the Swift Gulch District. In response to the area's high visibility from 1-70, efforts have been made to screen the existing buildings and facilities and to use materials and colors that blend with the surrounding hillsides. Planning Principles and Recommendations:. • Encourage building at a scale that minimizes visibility from I-70: • Require building materials and colors that blend in with the hillsides. • Screen accessory uses with landforms and landscaping. • Encourage sidewalks and pedestrian connections. District 25: Nottingham Station/Eaglebend District The Nottingham Station/Eaglebend District contains single- family and multi -family residential development. The area is mostly developed, with a few remaining individual residential lots still undeveloped. Design issues for development in this area are to address visibility from U.S. Highway 6, the protection and enhancement of the riparian environment along the Eagle River, and appropriate public access along the river. Planning Principles and Recommendations: • Examine the potential to develop pedestrian and bicycle connections between Stonebridge Drive and the Village at Avon Residential and Commercial Districts. • Historic structures such as the Nottingham Ranch House and the water wheel should be evaluated • Encourage development to take into consideration the objectives of the Eagle River Watershed Management Plan including river setbacks and best practices for development in proximity to the river. • Provide a public access easement, where appropriate, within building setback areas in new development adjacent to the Eagle River for public enjoyment of the river and construction of a public recreational trail. • Building should be oriented to capitalize upon the Eagle River as an amenity. Parking areas, trash dumpsters, and Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan Page 33 Town District Planning Principles Low Priority Districts other uses that could potentially disrupt the quality of the river environment should be located away from the river and designed to have the least impact on the river corridor. Set buildings back from the river to preserve its natural character, and step building facades back away from the river to avoid creating a `canyon effect'. • Limit building height to a scale that is subordinate to the Town Core and compatible with the river environment.. Buildings should be designed to step down in height as.they near the river and in response to the natural topography. • Encourage landforms, landscaping and sidewalks between residences and U.S. Highway 6. District 26: Village at Avon Northern Residential District This area is part of the Village at Avon P.U.D. of quality, large - lot, single-family homes and some multi -family residential development located on the south -facing slopes north of the main valley floor. This residential area is covenant -controlled, gated community with its own design review committee. This residential area has several provisions for public services and access ways that should be maintained. Further public access arrangements would be beneficial, including the preservation/ acquisition of public space located adjacent to this area. Planning Principles and Recommendations:. Encourage further public access arrangements including the preservation/ acquisition of public space located adjacent to this area. . • Prevent significant alteration of natural landscape as well as ridgeline and steep slope development. This area should be highly sensitive to visual impacts of improvements and lighting. District 27: Northern Hillside Open Space The Northern Hillside Open Space areas are comprised of the steep slopes of the valley wall north of 1-70. These areas are protected from development with some limited informal recreational uses allowed. No further recommendations are made herein. Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan Page 34
