Main Street Final Review Description: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer, and the professional design team hired to implement the public way improvements piece of the Town Center West Investment Plan (the Plan), pursuant to the provisions of Title 12, Avon Municipal Code (AMC) and the Implementation section of the Plan, will provide a presentation of the finalized drawings and materials of Main Street. Discussion: Justin Hildreth introduced the design team and the plan for the meeting. Bob Couri, a principal for Britina Design Group, began the presentation with a breakdown of the process to date. Bob continued by presenting several three-dimensional perspective images walking through the stretch of Main Street. A flythrough program was presented. In response to the flythrough near the Sheraton property gathering area, Commissioner Struve asked what the Tivoli lights would look like. The designers stated that these would be LED lights no larger than the size of your finger. Commissioner Goulding questioned the visual and physical elements traveling from Benchmark Road to the right hand turn to Main Street (or left to continue down Benchmark Road), and was concerned with the design from an automobiles perspective. The designers presented material differentiations, signage, and way finding elements that are being proposed. The Site Tour was conducted. Commissioner Lane was in attendance after the Site Tour. Commissioner Green asked what the next steps were for the Commission. Eric Heidemann responded that a motion will be required and if there; were no outstanding issues a recommendation of approval would be appreciated. 1" Mr. Couri finished by presenting the design including.the potentialartpieces and their locations. He outlined the compliance of the design with the West Town Center Design Guidelines and Investment Plan. Commissioner Green questioned the Hydrodynamic separation system. Justin`Hildreth further described the system and how it worked. A' ` , %, . V.-� The Britina Design Group went through the banners presented 14 at the meeting that outlined the Public Art, Hardscape materials, Street Furnishings, Lighting, and Wayfinding signage. Commissioner Struve questioned the pavers and asked if;they were individual pavers or stamped concrete. The Design Group responded that they were individual pavers. is Commissioner Struve questioned the movable-stfeet furniture._j,The Design Team responded that removal from the area could be' %an issue. and -could pose an extra maintenance requirement to corral the furniture in the evening. Iw Commissioner Struve stated that the proposed bike racks do not work and suggested that the Design Group use ones similar to the ones seen in Beaver Creek. Commissioner Green n questioned the need for, Holiday lighting permanently in the trees along the street. Justin Hildreth,stated that the requirement was in the Investment Plan and that it was/less maintengance`demanding to leave them up given the longevity of the LED lights. Commissioner Struve asked if this sign package approval would bring forth a precedent for future monument"sighs. Eric'Heidemann responded that that would not be the case. i v Commissioner Lane stated most of his comments were expressed at the work session and the only outlying concern is the Historical Panels. He doesn't want the panels to be cheap non - substantial in appearance. Commissioner Prince liked the plan, but had concerns about the entrance onto Main Street from the Avon Road round -a -bout. t Commissioner Roubos questioned the use of all the different colors. She had concerns if it was going to be`overly colorful or if it would have an amazing affect. Commissioner Struve questioned the removal of all of the mature trees. He wanted the consultants to pass information onto the public. He also wanted to have as many lights 'addressable' as possible to create a greater amount of interest. He also wanted the bike and ski racks addressed. He suggested the Paulo Alto usage. Commissioner Goulding didn't want to see the over usage of the "bad" or "back of house' elements of developments. Commissioner Green stated that the bollards would be an issue especially with the snow plows in the interim until the snow melt comes on board. He stated that he doesn't feel the entry from Avon Road less than sufficient. Commissioner Goulding moved to approve the Main Street design with the condition of a Bike and Ski Rack,' and an intensive study on the entry off of Avon Road is undertaken. Commissioner Struve seconded the motion and it passed with a 6-0. VII. Final Design Review Sutter Residence Property Location: Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / 5712 Wildridge Road East Applicant / Owner: Ryan Sutter . t Description: This lot will be accessed off of Wildridge Road East and the proposed residence will measure approximately 6,370 sq. ft. including the garage area' ,The building is designed with gabled roofs and utilizes stucco, stone, wood shingles and'wood siding on the exterior walls. Discussion: Jared Barnes presented staff's report to the Commission Jared explained that, as presented, the design expressed two dwelling,units and the need to remove the kitchen in the 'guest house' in order to comply with the application aria design intent. The history of the lot was highlighted. Jared highlighted the site and building design aspects of the project, and suggested several revisions to the drawings prior to ming the application forward. With all of the revisions and inconsistencies -mentioned, staff recommends tabling this application to address these issues. ` `a y Commissioner Struve questioned if,there�have been other similar designs approved for separated single-family residences before. Bob Sutter, the architect for the project\introduced himself and explained that there were no objections to staffs,comments except for the desire to have additional retaining wall stepping in order to comply` with`the'guidelines. He explained that catch basins will be utilized to address the drainage concerns near the retaining walls. Commissioner Struve, questioned whether oarnot a duplex was contemplated. Mr. Sutter responded that yes, that idea was explored, but that is not the intention of the current owners. Commissioner Prince asked if the ability to access with an easement through the water tank lot was explored. Mr. Sutter explained that he could not find the appropriate party to pursue this approach and they are accessing the property at the highest point possible. e Chairperson Green questioned if other options for the lower retaining walls were explored in design review. Mr. Suttee responded that structured retaining walls were the only way to make this site design possible and to make 4' walls is impossible. A discussion continued with respect to the ability to design a single-family residence with an efficiency kitchen instead of technically creating a duplex. Eric Heidemann read the definition for "Efficiency Kitchen," and explained the process involved, and the application up for review tonight. IV' Commissioner Prince suggested that the single-family (with caretaker/efficiency unit) be a future discussion item on a future meeting to explore the possibilities. .r, Commissioner Goulding questioned whether or not a guardrail will be utilized. Mr. Sutter responded that they will build one if it is required by code. Commissioner Goulding also asked if the shrub plantings near the retaining walls would receive irrigation. The applicant explained that a drain system in front of the walls is proposed and a structural engineer has designed the wall cross sections. There are no solar panel design specifications yet, but they will be provided. Commissioner Goulding continued by cautioning to applicant about approaching the height requirement, and the need for a material board. Jared responded that this was a suggested condition of approval. Commissioner Goulding also suggested the use of varying tree sizes. Commissioner Struve was in general agreement with the design, as presented. The retaining walls and the proximity of landscaping were highlighted as the only concerns. Commissioner Roubos explained her concern with the appearance of the retaining walls that are not screened by the structure Mr Sutter responded that they will take staff's recommendation, and move some of the trees to blend the walls as much as possible. Commissioner Prince was in agreement with the other Commissioners comments. He questioned where the fenced area was located on the plans. Mr.4Sutte`r presented the general location of the fence as referenced on page A0. Commissioner Green's concern was with the landscape plan and the need for aspen trees to get water no matter where they are located. Action: Commissioner Goulding moved to approve with staff conditions 1-12 from the report, with following conditions to be revised: #4, The' floor plans will be amended to meet the definition of "efficiency kitchen for the Guest,Flouse unit; #17, Additional landscaping will be provided on an amended landscape plan to better'screen theme retaining walls and appropriately sized and located; and conditions to be added #13, Solar,panel information will'be provided to staff and brought to the Commission if deemed appropriate; and #14, The plans will be revised to show that a guardrail will be utilized where required near the driveway. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Struve and all Commissioners were in favor. The motion passed unanimously with a 5-0 vote. w _ VIII.

The existing residence totals approximately 2,200 square feet, and was constructed in 1993. The building exterior has stucco as the predominate building material, and contains two levels of living space. The main level contains a two -car garage, kitchen, office, and living/dining space. The lower (walkout) level contains the bedrooms. This application proposes a complete "new skin" with several roof additions, one-story, and two-story building additions. Approximately 1,392 square feet of space (includes one -car garage) would be added to the existing home. The entire exterior would be replaced with high quality building materials. Proposed building materials include: brick veneer siding, redwood siding, metal siding, stucco, wood truss and soffits, heavy asphalt shingles and standing seam metal roofing. In addition to the building improvements, new terrace spaces are proposed surrounding the west and north elevations. Several trees are also introduced on all sides of the building. Staff Comments This application is in conformance with the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Desian Review Guidelines. All of the materials are of high quality, and the added architectural interest is encouraged by the Guidelines. The improvements to the site appear to be in compliance with Section A: Residential Site Development. The parking and loading appear to be functional. While one of the existing garage parking spaces is being deleted, a new garage parking space is being Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949-5749 Lot 34, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision. Debra's Sketch Design September 16, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 2 of 3 AYON proposed. The added landscaping will benefit the appearance of the structure as viewed from adjacent properties. In terms of building design and materials, the additions appear to comply with Section B: Building Design, of the Guidelines; and the building is designed as a composition of mass elements. The new roof plan includes a mix of 12:12 "heavy' asphalt shingles for the primary ridges, and 3:12 metal roofing for secondary ridges. The one exception to this generality is the large expanse of 3:12 metal roof above the kitchen. While metal roofing and pitches less than 4:12 are discouraged for primary roof planes, this roof form would be broken with smaller 12:12 roof forms, and this approach appears to comply with the Guidelines. Further details such as lighting, colors, landscaping specifications, and materials will be reviewed in detail with a Final Design application. A cork model and photographs will be available for Commission review at the meeting. Design Review Considerations The Commission and Staff shall evaluate the design of the sketch plan utilizing the specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria: A. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning Code; and B. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D of the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial, and Industrial Desiqn Review Guidelines. 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. A full size (24" x 36") plan set will be available for the Commission's review at the September 16th, 2008 meeting.

The proposed modifications do not impact the development rights for the property. 4. The Design plan is in general conformance with Sub -Sections A through D of the Residential. Commercial, and Industrial Desian Guidelines. A. Site Development: The proposed modifications only alter the site design by modifying the Landscaping. Staff has determined the provisions of this section are adequately addressed. B. Building Design: This section is not applicable since the application does not alter the building design. C. Landscaping: The proposed modifications reduce the amount of landscaping throughout the site. As stated earlier in this Staff Report, the approved plans depict approximately forty (40) tree plantings and five (5) shrub plantings. The proposal locates fourteen (14) Aspen trees and one (1) Bristlecone Pine tree. The Guidelines state that existing vegetation should be preserved and protected. It appears that the applicant has provided a rather tight limit of disturbance and has kept a good amount of mature shrub plantings intact during construction. The Guidelines also promote the use of xeriscape landscaping principals. It appears that the applicant has limited the number of proposed plantings in order to reduce the use of water for irrigation. From the proposed plan (Exhibit C), it appears that the plantings are not naturally located and do hot help visually screen the building improvements as encouraged by the Design Guidelines. Staff has determined that the Landscape Plan should be revised to implement a greater number of plantings on the north side of the structure to help properly screen the building improvements from neighboring properties. 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. This application is compatible with the site topography, without the need for significant alterations. 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.

Avon, CO 81620 Re: Modification of landscape design Farr Residence 5581 Coyote Ridge Avon, CO 81620 Design Review Board: Thank you for your consideration of my new landscape design proposal. The following are my reasons for seeking modifications: • Conserve water. I am following green building practices throughout the construction of my home and would like to carry that through to the landscaping by employing environmentally friendly xeriscape techniques. • Blend with the natural surroundings. The natural vegetation in Wildridge is primarily sage brush, grasses and service berry bushes. I would like my landscaping to remain true to this natural environment by relying primarily on native grasses and flowers with a modest number of aspen and spruce trees. • Minimize site disturbance. From the beginning of my building process, I have tried to preserve the property as it was by saving as much of the native vegetation as possible. I would like to continue this through the landscaping I install. • Show the beauty of the house. Designed around a farmstead theme, the new building looks at home in its current surroundings (limited vegetation). I don't want to disturb the good "fit" created by the combination of the farmhouse look, reclaimed materials and natural surroundings. • Maximize sunlight. I want to retain as much natural sunlight as possible by planting only a small number of trees. Please let me know if you need any further information. Sincerely, 4* r �. yXf.
