PUD Amendment — PUBLIC HEARING Property Location: Buck Creek PUD, Buck Creek Road Applicant: Steve Isom /Owner. Oscar Tang Description: The applicant, Steve Isom, representing the owner of the property, Tanavon Corp, is proposing to amend the Cottonwood PUD Plan and Guide documents; and to further subdivide the existing Wildwood Subdivision, Lots 1, 2, and 3, into a total of five (5) lots and two tracts. The property is located on the northeast corner of Nottingham and Buck Creek Roads, is presently zoned as the Cottonwood PUD, and is platted as the Wildwood Resorts Subdivision. The proposed amendments to the existing plat and PUD are focused primarily on re -subdividing the Wildwood Subdivision from three (3) developable lots into four (4); to introduce a new, optional Montessori School use on the l� subject property; and to reallocate the existing, allowed uses amongst the newly subdivided lots. The applicant has requested that this item be tabled. Matt Gennett presented the Staff Report to the Commission. Steve Isom, Isom Associates, approached the podium and presented those who were affiliated with the project. Mr. Isom began his presentation by outlining the details from 1988 Wildwood Resort Final Plat and detailing proposed site changes. Mr. Isom demonstrated flood plains, wetlands areas, existing ponds, topography of the site and access points; Montessori School proposed location and its needs. Markian Feduschak, Executive Director of the Gore Range Science School, presented the uses of the site, four educational objects — increase science skills in the valley, science teacher training institute, provide community science classes and field site for science investigation. Mr. Feduschak continued that it was agreed to put several small buildings rather than one large one. Mr. Isom stated that Staff had asked for additional information and asked the Commission if they had other needs to be addressed. Mr. Isom continued by mentioning that Oscar Tang's donation of this site was ideal for a science school and a Montessori school. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING No members of the public made comment. CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING Commissioner Evans commented that more information was needed for Commissioner review. Mr. Isom mentioned that a book was provided but not distributed to the Commission due to the fact that the Applicant had requested tabling the application. Matt Gennett, Town of Avon Senior Planner, remarked that a resubmittal for the subdivision process was needed. It would be a Preliminary Plan for Subdivision instead of a Minor Subdivision and the updated wetlands study would be new to the book along with whatever data; Norm Wood, Town Engineer, had requested to be included. Commissioner Struve asked if this was a new PUD or using an existing one. Matt Gennett responded that Mr. Isom was seeking a new PUD. John Dunn, Town Attorney, provided a letter, which Mr. Isom has in his documentation, that the existing zoning was a valid and exists. Commissioner Green commented that he needed something of substance to provide a commentary to the Applicant. Commissioner Struve asked if the external boundaries remain the same with internal changing and received a positive response. Commissioner Struve continued that the schools were good for the Town and the community and suggested that thought be put into the Buck Creek Trail improvements. Commissioner Goulding voiced that more information was necessary for commentary. Commissioner Green moved to table Item VI, PUD Amendment, Property Location: Buck Creek PUD, Buck Creek Road to January 16, 2007 Meeting, with Commissioner Smith seconding the motion. All Commissioners were in favor by a 6-0 vote with Commissioner Evans abstaining due to a potential conflict of interest. VII. Final Designs - RAL Duplex - CONTINUED Property Location: Lot 34, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision 12661 Beartrap Rd. Applicant: Bobby Ladd, RAL Architects / Owner Robert B. Thomas Description: Design review for a duplex on Beartrap Road. The building is comprised of wood and stone veneer siding. Sketch review took place at the Commission's June 20, 2006 meeting and a Final Design Application was tabled from the Commission's September 5th and October 3rd, 2006 meetings. Moved to Consent Agenda. VIII. Sketch Design - Commercial Timeshare Property Location: Lot 3, Riverfront Subdivision / 218 Riverfront Lane Applicant., Aleksandr Sheykhet / Owner. East West Resort Development XIV LOP LLP Description: The applicant is proposing a Sketch Design application for the 'Timeshare West„ building in the Riverfront Subdivision. The building would contain 34 timeshare units (39 at buildout), which are two bedroom units each with the ability to have lock -off units. At the ground level there is approximately 6,000 square feet of shell space to be commercial/retail and timeshare sales. Chuck Madison, East West Partners, approached the podium to present this Application for the West Timeshare Building. Mr. Madison began by describing how the timeshare buildings would flank the hotel, access to the river, and the deeding of the river access to the Town. Mr. Madison introduced George Boone, Westin Starwood Vacation Ownership. Mr. Boone touched lightly on the history of the project and introduced Jim McIntyre, architectural director for the project, and Aleksandr Sheykhet, and the Landscape Architect. Mr. Sheykhet approached the podium and began his presentation with Architectural Design Guidelines for the project, the timeshare building and discussed the materials to be used along with its placement alongside the hotel. Commissioner Struve asked if there were drawings of the timeshare building proposed for the other side of the hotel and received a response that it would be visible on the model that would be presented. Mr. Sheykhet continued by explaining the site plan and amenities to be provided, parking spaces, roof plan with an encroachment was presented, and ground level at full build out with 5,500 sq ft of retail space. Commissioner Evans questioned if the sales office for the Timeshare would later be converted to timeshares and was replied positively. Mr. Madison commented that East West Resorts agreement with the Westin was that East West would retain all retail spaces. Commissioner Struve questioned there being two sales centers with one at the Westin and one at the Timeshare Building and was responded that only one would exist with the sales center at the Westin moving to the Timeshare Building at an appropriate time. Mr. Sheykhet continued with a Parking Analysis and that parking would be in excess of requirements. Discussion continued regarding the parking uses relevant to sharing, and a need for the Commissioners to review the PUD details for the site. Commissioner Lane commented on the massing relationships of the building and the entry to the structure. Commissioner Green saw a heaviness of structure by its columns and proportions, commented that the hotel design was a lighter design than the timeshare, and wasn't enamored with the buttress at the decks. Commissioner Evans concurred with Commissioner Smith that the retail area does not have appeal from the street. Mr. L Sheyhket agreed with the Commissioners that he had been struggling with this area and was looking for direction from the Commission in this area. Commissioner Evans commented that what was in front of the Commission did not work. Overhangs were needed for the secondary roof structures per Commissioner Evans and the look was early "Lionshead". Commissioner Foster questioned staff on parking requirements and Mr. Pielsticker responded that it was determined at PUD. Commissioner Struve remarked that the blue on the fascia and railing needed changing and was responded that by photocopying, it was not the accurate color, preferred a deeper shade, concerned with massive roof line, and no encroachment of the view corridor. Commissioner Goulding mentioned that the corridor coming from the north was a long corridor with no draw or excitement for the pedestrian, and character was missing from the building. Commissioner Goulding commented on the landscaping, its scale and size, landscaping on the upper deck, blend the lines and provide potted trees/plants on the deck. Discussion continued regarding the guest check in experience and the logistics of access/entry. Commissioner Evans remarked that the entry looks "slapped on" and not substantial. Issues were with the low retail roof structure, general impression of a heavy structure, overhangs, stone versus wood siding at south elevation floors P1 and P2, entry, color detail was necessary, plaza/retail experience needed to be resolved. IX. Minor Project - Riverfront Function Lawn Property Location: Lot 2, Riverfront Subdivision / 218 Riverfront Lane ApplicantlOwner: Andy Gunion East West Resort Development XIV LOP LLP Description: The applicant, Andy Gunion of East West Resorts, is proposing to expand the function lawn at the Westin Hotel Resort and Spa located at 126 Riverfront Lane. The expansion would entail improvements within the 100 -year floodplain and an application to make such modifications has been made through Eagle County. Moved to Consent Agenda. X. Other Business A.

Respectfully submitted, ' Ruth Weiss Recording Secretary APPROVED: Chris Evans Chairman Phil Struve Secretary Staff Report 7vi FINAL DESIGN PLAN C O L O R A D O January 2, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Report date Project type Legal description Zoning Address Introduction December 22, 2006 Duplex Lot 9, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision 2 Units — Residential Duplex 5750 Wildridge Road East The applicant, Courtney Giphart, is proposing a duplex on this Wildridge Road East property. The proposed building is large, and in excess of 10,000 square feet. The structure would be comprised mainly of stucco with 'Leadville Field' stone added to the front and sides of the building, cedar board on board vertical siding, redwood horizontal siding, and 50 -year Elk Prestige asphalt shingles. . This property totals 1.71 acres and features a platted non -developable area on the upper half of the lot. This area is depicted with cross -hatching on the provided site plan and survey. According to the Wildridge Subdivision plat "no development shall occur on the non -developable area... including buildings, fences, signs, roads, and grading... and shall be physically undisturbed and left in their present natural state." This design plan keeps all disturbances below the non -developable area; however, all of the remaining site would be altered with grading, staging, and building construction. The existing grades of the property are relatively consistent and uphill from the road towards the back of the lot. Following is a synopsis of design review meetings for this project. Background A Sketch Design submittal was originally reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the October 17th meeting. At this meeting there was lengthy discussion and dialogue with the applicant regarding the application and conflicts with the Design Review Guidelines. At the end of the October 17th meeting the applicant was given unanimous direction to come back for another Sketch review prior to proceeding to submittal of a Final Design application. Rather than returning for a second Sketch Design meeting as requested, the applicant submitted a Final Design application to Community Development and the Commission reviewed a Final Design Application at their November 21st meeting. Meeting minutes are attached to this report for both the October 17th and November 21 st meetings. Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Lot 9. Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision - Michaud Final Design January 2, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2of6A pR To briefly summarize some of the issues that surfaced, the Commission commented on the following items during the last two design review meetings: • Grading concern and inaccurately drawn retaining walls • Site topography constraints and plans do not respond to these constraints • Disproportionate size and massing compared to neighboring development • Massing and roof lines needed articulation • Excessive site disturbance, particularly with respect to site and driveway design • Roof plan could benefit from variation and working with existing grades • Lack of Landscaping • Accents may help to bring project together Design Review Considerations According to the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Desian Review Guidelines, Section 7, the Commission shall consider the following items when reviewing the design of this project: 1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Town of Avon Zonina Code. • Allowed use: The proposed residential use is permitted given the duplex zoning. • Density. The lot is zoned for a duplex and the density is appropriate. • Lot Coverage: Maximum site coverage allowed under the Wildridge PUD is 50%. This project is in compliance with the PUD proposing 27% lot coverage, or 15% of the entire 1.7 acres. The coverage ratio (27%) is for all impervious surfaces compared to the 'buildable' portion of the property - that is all area that is less than 40% slopes or within platted 'non -buildable' areas. • Setbacks- The setbacks for the property are typical for the Wildridge Subdivision with a 25' front setback and 10' side/rear yard setbacks. All building setbacks have been adhered to with this submittal. The building nears the 10' setback on the west side property line, and previously encroached upon this setback with previous designs. A greater distance has been provided between the structure and the east setback for drainage and to help address some of the retaining wall concerns brought up with past reviews. • Easements: Utility and Drainage Easements of 7.5' in width border each side of the property. Additionally, there is a 10' Slope Maintenance, Drainage, and Snow Storage easement bordering the Wildridge Road East Right -of -Way. • Building Height. The maximum allowable building height for this property is b5.' This design is in compliance with the applicable zoning with a maximum height of 33'. Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Lot 9, Block 4; Wildridge Subdivision - Michaud Final Design January 2, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 3 of 6 7111 • Grading/Drainage: All existing and proposed grades are indicated on the site plan. A Swale is proposed behind the structure to direct drainage in two directions, with the majority of flow directed to the west and eventually around the structure. This Swale does not appear to be sufficient to direct these flows away from the units. If this design were to be approved, a revised drainage plan would need to accompany a building permit plan set to demonstrate adequate positive drainage. • Parking. This design is in compliance with the Town's parking standards proposing 4 internal garage parking spaces and at least 4 open-air spaces. There are 6 required spaces with up to 12 provided. Although not called out on the plans, it appears that the enlarged area in the motor court and stub out in front of the eastern unit, shown as 'construction trailer' and 'refuse trailer' on Sheet C-3, would be utilized as parking areas after construction. • Snow Storage: Please refer to sheet L-1 or C-3 for snow storage area designations. There are three areas totaling 1,380 square feet called out and this slightly exceeds the Town's 20% requirement. The code requires 1,378 square feet for the area of the proposed driveway (6,892 square feet). 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 on the property for up to two dwelling units. 4. The Final Design plan Is In general conformance with Sub -Sections A through D of the Residential. Commercial, and Industrial Design Guidelines. A. Site Development: The Design Guidelines put emphasis on site layout design. Structures should blend in with natural settings and the need for extensive site grading and slope retention should be avoided. Additionally, buildings should be stepped in appearance. Site access shall blend with the natural contours of the site. The site access may not be appropriate given that a 14' wall (maximum) is required for driveway construction. The Commission should consider some of the minimum requirements from the Guidelines that this application appears conflict with, such as: A2 - "The location of structures and access shall compliment the existing topography of the site. Excessive grading and/or the use of engineer - designed retaining walls are discouraged when an alternate site layout would minimize such disturbances. A6 - Buildings on sloping lots shall be designed to step with the existing (natural) grades. Following are sections from the Site Development Guidelines: Town of Avon Community Development (970) 749-4030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Lot 4, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision - Michaud Final Design January 2, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting qW Page 4 of 6 d o Site Design: Development is pushed up the hillside with resulting grading reaching up to the platted non -developable area of the property. While limited in options for home site placement, there was discussion at sketch and final design reviews in response to the switchback driveway design. At previous design review meetings the structure's linear orientation and maximization from west to east building setback lines was commented on. Approximately 25: has been eliminated from the structures width to help work with existing contours of the site. a Site Access: Access to the site with the driveway entrance is compliant with the guidelines with a 4% initial grade, eventually ascending up at 9.5% to reach up the site to -the building envelope. The access point is perpendicular and 4%, therefore in compliance with the Guidelines. o Parking and Loading. The parking standards have been adhered to for this project. The turnaround space for vehicles leaving garages and parking spaces should be functional. B. Building Design: This duplex plan is particularly similar to other approved design plans that have been built recently in the Wildridge Subdivision, with subtle changes added such as skewing and offsetting the units' footprints. One review consideration required is °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 doubtful that monetary or aesthetic values would be impaired, however this cited guideline should be a consideration. o Building Materials and Colors- A variety of high quality building materials are proposed with this application including: 'Leadville' field stone, 50 year guaranteed asphalt shingles, stucco, and redwood window trim and siding. The proposed colors are earthtone and blend well with the site. o Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Architectural Interest The building's massing is broken up with varying building materials, planes, and pitches. There are 6:12 and 8:12 roof pitches. Vertical articulation has been introduced with at grade patios, decks, and deck supports. As the applicant stated in the attached letter to the Commission, "bold truss -work" was introduced to the front of both units to break up the continuous appearance and to help add articulation to the front (south) elevations. o Outdoor Lighting. The applicant has submitted a wall mounted light fixture which complies with the Guidelines. This fixture has a rust finish with frosted glass and is included on the attached color/material board page. C. Landscaping: o Design Character: The provided Landscape Plan appears to comply with the intent of the Residential Landscaping Guidelines. The quantity of landscaping has increased since the conceptual sketch review. In addition to the trees, up to 23 shrubs have been added to the base of the structured retaining wall running up the driveway. Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949.5749 Lot 9, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision - Michaud Final Design January 2, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Sw Page S of A The plan indicates that ail of the disturbed areas would receive native seed after disturbance for revegetation. Staff recommends that native sage plantings be dispersed at the disturbed boundaries to help blend in the finished landscaping. o Retaining Walls: in addition to the 4' (maximum) boulder retaining wall on the uphill side of the property entrance there is a MSE type wall supporting the majority of the driveway. The guardrail on top of this retaining wall "is to be design and built by others" according to sheet C-2 of the plan set. The guardrail design must be presented to staff prior to a building permit submittal if approved. Structural plans for concrete or MSE type wall supporting the driveway that are stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer must be submitted for approval prior to building permit issuance. 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 and building appear to be compatible with the site topography. The orientation of the home maximizes views towards Beaver Creek Ski Resort. 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 applicant has proposed high quality materials and earth tone colors that should make this project visually compatible with the surrounding environment. 7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired. Staff does not feet that any monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired with the proposed improvements. 8. The general conformance of the proposed Improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. The project is in general conformance with the Town's adopted goals and policies and is a use by right per the Wildridge Subdivision. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends Conditional Approval of this final design plan for Lot 9, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision. Recommended Motion I move to approve the final design plan for a Lot 9, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision with the following conditions to be addressed at building permit submittal: 1. Engineered drawings must be provided for structural walls over 4' in height. 2. Revised drainage plan will be submitted demonstrating positive drainage around the back side of the structure. The provided Swale is insufficient.

Courtney Giphart /Owner.• Roger Michaud Description: Sketch Design review for a large duplex on Wildridge Road East. Matt Pielsticker presented the Staff Report to the Commission. Commissioner Struve questioned the allowable grades for driveways and remarked that the house to the west was a single family. Courtney Giphart, project architect, approached the podium to answer questions from the Commission. Ms. Giphart commented on the retaining wall and the change of the materials for the wall to cultured stone. Commissioner Evans questioned grading and voiced that more walls would be needed for the site. Commissioner Green commented on the incomplete site plan provided. Commissioner Evans commented that only one third of the retaining walls were presented, the plans did not consider site constraints and the project was not properly designed to the site. Commissioner Foster was concerned with the building's massive size compared to the neighboring properties, suggested setting one side behind the other, and was unclear regarding the breezeway function. Commissioner Struve suggested the breezeway could be another garage. Commissioner Lane had issue with the mass and the roof particularly the dormers and reiterated the need for accurate drawings. Commissioner Smith voiced agreement with Commissioner Foster. Ms. Giphart responded to the site disturbance issue raised. Commissioner Evans suggested Ms. Giphart review other driveways in the area to get an idea of driveway configuration. Commissioner Struve expressed it was too much driveway, could get to site without a switchback, house was too big for site, 14 foot drop off was potentially dangerous, the connection between the two sides need attention and make the project sit on the lot better with landscaping and one duplex higher than the other. Commissioner Goulding agreed with his fellow Commissioners, suggested getting the roof to fall with the grade, landscaping needs to be built up, and exterior accents need to be tied together better for cohesiveness. VII. Sign Design Application Property Location: Lot 24, Block 1, Benchmark Subdivision / 830 Nottingham Road AppAhas.nt.- Gerard Healey, Alpine Glass/ Owner Merrill Fie, Gates Leasing Co.

A variety of high quality materials are being proposed. Sketch review took place at the Commission's October 17, 2006 meeting. At sketch review, the Commission requested the applicant return with a revised sketch application prior to proceeding to final design. Matt Pielsticker presented the Staff Report. Roger Michaud, property owner, approached the podium to discuss his project and gain Commission understanding and direction. Mr. Michaud provided the Commissioners with pictures of neighboring sites and stated that his team had exhausted all ideas of how to site the building. Commissioner Struve questioned the driveway and the amount of the lot being paved was to be minimized. Commissioner concerns were the massing, color charts and materials weren't submitted (handed out during the session), roof ridge was one long shot, setbacks are an issue, and all colors were not reviewed and those presented were inconsistent with renderings. Commissioner Struve mentioned that this was turning into a sketch review of a final design.

Site Desien: • Eliminated both 4' boulder retaining walls near east property line by relocating the revised structure westerly. • Increased evergreen trees from 12 to 20 and their minimum height from 6 to 8 feet. Added 14 shrubs/bushes along driveway retaining wall 2. Linier Form / Massine:, • Added bold truss -work to front of both sides to break-up continuous appearance and add articulation to front facades. • Created an integrated structure on the site with revamped angled entries direct to vehicular approach. • Reduced footprint on lot through removal of 25' from ends of previous linear footprint (including 4'-6" already taken out following sketch submittal). • Changed footprint shape by adding large front decks (in addition to the 11' Unit A shift forward following sketch submittal). • Minimized the low "bridge" linking Unit A and Unit B by 7'-6". 3, Street Presence: • This duplex will have excellent curb appeal. • It provides a set -back setting which doesn't impede adjacent landowners • Abundant use of landscaping to soften and hide much of the driveway's retaining wall. Landscaping will improve appearance from the street. • Stepped-up the hill, not as prominent from the road. • Dutch -hipped roofs and detailed truss -work along front fagade increases architectural interest. 4. Driveway: • Due to site condition and steep grade, the switch -back drive is needed to avoid the otherwise massive hole required to drop the duplex in. Thus, there would be a much greater site disturbance, though less asphalt would be needed,. • Landscape accents will minimize retaining wall appearance. • This location provides the owners with the magnificent views, minimizes road noise and adds privacy afforded by the site. 5.

The property is located on the north (uphill) side of Longsun Lane in Block 4 of the Wildridge Subdivision. As proposed, the additional unit would match the existing building with consistent materials (i.e. asphalt shingles, stucco, aluminum clad windows, and Doug fir columns). There does not appear to be any modifications to the existing structure that would occur during construction. A new asphalt driveway area would be installed for entrance into the new dwelling unit and associated parking. Included in the attached plan set are a site plan, conceptual landscaping plan, floor plans, and elevations. The drawings clearly show all existing and new proposed improvements on the property. History Initial design review for the existing single-family residence took place in 1996 and the project received another final design approval in the spring of 1999. Shortly after receiving the second design approval construction commenced. Construction was complete in August of 2000. Subsequently, a design for an added dwelling unit was approved on September 21, 2000. That design was attached to the existing unit in a similar location as this current submittal; however, it was only attached at the main level of the home. This design reached further up the hillside towards the northern property line. After two years this design approval lapsed triggering the current submittal. Site Design The additional unit would be attached on the lower and main levels near a utility meter located at the northwest corner of the existing structure. The connection would be approximately 6' in length and would be with non -habitable closet/storage space. According to the provided survey, the original home was Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949-5749 Lot 57, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, Czarniak Duplex Sketch Design January 2, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 3 built far enough to the east side of the lot to allow for a future unit to be added. Site access is through the existing driveway, and the new proposed driveway would branch off into the new garage and an additional parking space on the western property line under a deck. Staffs site design concerns revolve around the building placement and resulting drainage. The proposed grading contours on Sheet L1.1, while conceptual, do not demonstrate a functional drainage flow around the new unit. It appears that the drainage from the north hillside will be allowed to flow into the proposed new unit. Positive drainage away from all structures will need to be demonstrated. Also related to drainage, staff would require more detail for the drain running underneath the proposed building attachment area. Documentation that verifies the new drain on the north side of the existing unit will convey expected flows will need to be provided if this design is pursued, as well as drop inlet and pipe sizing. From a site planning perspective it is appears that the existing home was citied such that a future dwelling unit could be attached and placed immediately west of the existing home between the home and the west property line. However, the west elevation of the home is where the garage is accessed and there are also large windows gaining views on this side of the home. The method of attaching this second dwelling unit is discussed below. Building Design According to the Design Guidelines, "duplex developments must be designed... with the use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, massing, detail, roof forms, and landscaping." The addition appropriately proposes to match the existing structure's architecture with similar windows patterns, materials, stucco colors, belly band detail, and roof pitches. The design most notably conflicts with the 'duplex development' guideline, which reads: "Duplex developments must be designed in a manner that creates an integrated structure on the site. Two single-family residences 'bridged' by a breezeway or other non-structural and non -habitable connection does not meet the intent of a duplex design. Unified design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, massing, detail, roof forms, and landscaping. While 'mirror image' duplexes are not supported, the design intent should be one that creates a unified structure with enough variety and architectural interest to distinguish a duplex from a single family home (page 19)." It is difficult to support this design due to its apparent conflict with the intent of this guideline. While there was a previous design approved for this second dwelling unit in a similar fashion, that design was approved before the Town enacted its design guidelines. The Design Guidelines give clear direction for what should compose a duplex in the Town of Avon. The provided building elevations clearly indicate the proposed elevations with existing improvements ghosted in the background. It must be determined if the Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949-5749 i> Lot 57, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, Czarniak Duplex Sketch Design January 2, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 3 of 3 duplex connection proposed will be perceived as a 'bridged' connection as contemplated in the Guidelines. Also included in the plan set is a conceptual landscape plan. Proposed are seven 6' blue spruce, sixteen 2" caliper aspens, mulch planting beds, and sixteen native shrubs: The proposed landscaping complies with the design guidelines by limiting the finished irrigated areas. All disturbed areas would be revegetated with native grasses and shrubs. Staff Comments This design application appears to be in conformance with all Zoning Code requirements and a duplex would , be an allowed use for the property. As presented the design appears to conflict with the 'Duplex Development' guideline from the Town of Avon Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Desiqn Review. Guidelines. Design Review Considerations The Commission will take no formal action on this sketch plan application. At the meeting the applicant will receive guidance from the Commission and Staff to incorporate into a final design application. This sketch design application will be evaluated utilizing 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 Desiqn Review Guidelines. A full size (24" x 36") plan set will be available for you to provide written comments and guidance to the applicant at your January 2, 2007 meeting. If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please call me at 748-4413, or stop by the office of Community Development.

Z UO - Ix A Q O �00000000000�® I Memo To: Planning and Zoning Commissioners From: Eric Heidemann, AICP, Community Development Director Matt Pielsticker, Planner Date December 28, 2006 Re: Amendments to Avon Municipal Code - Title 17.24 (Off -Street Parking and Loading Requirements) Background and History: At the December 19th, 2006 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting staff was directed by the Commission to investigate the Town's parking code requirements - specifically the compact space allowances. The Town's parking requirements are located within the Zoning Code, Title 17 of the Avon Municipal Code. These requirements were originally adopted into code by Avon Town Council in 1983 by Ordinance #83-36. Aside from some recent additions and amendments, the parking requirements have remained largely unchanged since original adoption. The most notable changes to Title 17.24 since original adoption include: • Payment -in -Lieu Program Adoption and establishment of Parking Fund. • Establishment of Provisions for Shared Parking Districts. • Expansion of Industrial/Commercial Standards and Definitions. Instead of taking a narrow approach and reviewing only the compact space allowances, it has become apparent to staff that a comprehensive review of the parking code is long overdue. Accordingly, staff has identified several items that should be discussed at the next meeting. Revision Process: According to the Avon Municipal Code Section 2.16.110 (3)) one of the duties held by the Planning and Zoning Commission is to: "Review and recommend to the Town Council desirable or necessary modifications to the zoning ordinance, with appropriate regulations, which may be specifically provided or required by ordinance of the Town." Initiation and amendment procedures are outlined in Title 17. Per Section 17.28.020 of the Municipal Code amendments to the text of the zoning code may be initiated by the Planning and Zoning Commission. In order to amend the Zoning Code the Planning and Zoning Code must first hold a public hearing. Staff recommends that after discussion and evaluation of the parking requirements at the January 2, 2007 meeting, direction be given to staff to incorporate into a formal public hearing and accompanying resolution for consideration at the February 6, 2007 meeting. Discussion: Attached to this Memo is the current Chapter 17.24, Off -Street Parking and Loading section from the Avon Municipal Code. In preparation for the meeting and in addition to any specific items you would like to evaluate, at a minimum please be prepared to discuss the following items that staff has identified: 1. Absence of on -street parking requirements: The code currently contains provisions for off-street parking; however, with the redevelopment of East and West Avon, we anticipate the need for provisions relative to on -street parking. 2. Off-site allowances and control of off-site parking facilities including lease agreements: The code contains ambiguous and outdated language that we may want to eliminate from the parking code. 3. Mixed-use ratios (i.e. main level @5.5 spaces/1,000 square feet, additional levels @ 4 spaces/1,000 square feet): Staff would like to reevaluate the mixed-use ratios and the distinctions currently made between main level and above main level ratios. 4. Mixed-use criteria: The criteria used and percentage reduction allowed should be reevaluated based on current data. 5. Parking space size reduction - compact allowance - LEED Certification requirements: Staff is supportive of the idea for a reduction in the percentage of permitted compact spaces (currently 30%) to a more reasonable percentage. Staff would also like to include exceptions for situations such as electric car stalls typically designated in certain areas. 6. Single-family / duplex standards and references: Staff would like to clarify the language relative to garage and open air spaces. 7. Time-share requirements: Staff has been supported of time-share ratios, based on several recent parking analyses that are less restrictive than the current ratios. Should these ratios be coded? B. Loading requirements Recommendation: We anticipate that the Commission will have several questions and comments on the current code requirements during your meeting. We would like your feedback on any proposed changes and the speck discussion items highlighted above prior to presenting any revisions to Town Council for first reading. We recommend that you hold a public hearing at the first February meeting and deliberate on proposed revisions. Once public comment is received and further evaluation takes place staff will prepare a resolution for your endorsement before moving to Town Council for final adoption.

Such plan shall show proposed development of the area and how the total number of required off-street parking spaces will be provided by the use of public and private facilities. In addition to an approved parking and site develop- ment plan, the Town Council may, as it deems necessary and appropriate, require formal agreements with the property owners concerning land dedications and easements, participation in construction and maintenance costs of the public facilities and other related matters. Subsequent to formal execution of agree- ments and availability of the parking facilities, property owners may reduce the number of private off-street spaces required in accord with the approved parking and site development plan. 2.
