DESIGN REVIEW
VI. Minor Project
Property Location: Lot 64, Block 3, Wildridge / 4271 Wildridge Road West
Applicant. /Owner. Kyla Marsh
Description: The applicant is proposing to modify an existing structure by adding livable space
above the existing garage. The addition will utilize similar windows to the existing structure as
well as stucco as an exterior building material. The stucco will match the existing home's
color.
Discussion:
Commissioner Goulding thanked the applicant for addressing the comments from the previous
hearing and asked for clarification on the belly -band and landscaping/re-vegetation plan.
Commissioner Struve had no further comments beyond those made by Commissioner
Goulding.
Commissioner Prince agreed with Commissioner Goulding and had nothing further to add.
Commissioner Lane agreed with the comments made by Commissioner Goulding as well.
C
Commissioner Green agreed with the comment regarding removing the belly -band and further
questioned the use of fenestration on the addition in related to the rest of the structure.
Kyla Marsh answered the questions raised by Commissioners Goulding and Green.
Action:
Commissioner Goulding made a motion to APPROVE the Minor Modification application with
the following CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1) The belly band must be removed for the addition;
2) A landscape plan be submitted to show limits of disturbed areas and re -vegetation
areas; and
3) Except as otherwise modified by this permit approval, all material representations
made by the applicant or applicant representative(s) in this application and in public
hearing(s) shall be adhered to and considered binding conditions of approval.
Commissioner Lane Seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0.
VII. Sketch Review
Horton Residence
Property Location: Lot 59, Block 3, Wildridge / 4340 June Point
Applicant. Millie Aldrich, Pure Design Studio / Owner. Norma Horton
Description: The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing residence on the subject
property and replace it with a 5,100 square foot home. The proposed two story residence will
utilize concrete, stucco, and stone on the exterior walls and will have a standing seam metal
roof.
Millie Aldrich made a presentation of the Sketch Design to the Commission.
Discussion:
Commissioner Green asked for clarification on the use of stone veneer materials on certain
exterior walls.
Millie Aldrich provided clarifications regarding the use of stone veneer.
Commissioner Green asked what the compelling reason is for the use of 3:12 roof pitches
when the Guidelines specify a minimum pitch of 4:12 on all primary roof forms.
Millie Aldrich said the owner and architects can live with 4:12 roof pitches for all major roof
forms currently shown as being 3:12.
Norma Horton clarified the rationale behind why the 3:12 primary roof pitches were originally
contemplated, which had to do with creating a lower -profile or less invasive / ostentatious
appearance from surrounding perspectives.
Commissioner Lane felt the design has strong potential.
Commissioner Prince thanked the applicant for choosing to build in Wildridge. One minor
concern he voiced was regarding design compatibility with surrounding structures and
properties. He also asked for a good example of the materials and Millie Aldrich provided
more detail on the materials. Commissioner Prince then asked that the photovoltaic panels be
flush -mounted, if feasible.
Commissioner Struve agreed with the comments of the other Commissioners, particularly with
respect to changing the primary roof pitches to 4:12. Commissioner Struve commented on the
design of retaining walls and whether the owner wished to ever maximize the views of the NY
range from the subject site. He also commented that evaporative coolants are unnecessary at
the elevation proposed in this design.
Commissioner Goulding expressed concern over the reflective light values, especially
considering the metal materials being proposed for the roof surfaces. He also expressed
confusion over how the elevations read on a two-dimensional plane. Millie Aldrich attempted
to alleviate the confusion and give a better verbal description of those elevations.
Chairperson Evans agreed with the comments made by the other Commissioners and clarified
the proper mounting of the solar panels. He also asked for more speck landscaping plans
clearly depicting the vegetation proposed to be removed, transplanted and added.
Commissioner Evans also brought up the issue of access alignment and why it is being
proposed as it appears on the site plans. Overall, the design is good and moving in the right
direction. He commented on the air circulation and stated the metal surface materials should
be powder -coated.
Commissioner Green brought up another comment related to existing landscaping versus
proposed and the Commission's preference for more natural looking landscapes. He also said
that limits of disturbance will need to be shown on the plans at Final Design.
Action: No formal action is necessary for Sketch Design reviews
ZONING
VIII. PUD Amendment— CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING
Property Location: Lots 1, 2, and 3, Wildwood Resort / Buck Creek Road
Applicant. Brian Sipes, Zehren & Associations /Owner. Oscar Tang
Description: The applicant is proposing to amend the existing Wildwood Resort PUD Plan and
Guide documents; and to further subdivide the existing Wildwood Subdivision, Lots 1, 2, and
3, into a total of six (6) lots and two tracts. The proposed is planned to allow for new land
uses, including but not limited to: fire station hub with separate administration building, 42
townhome units, Montessori school with office space, and natural science school campus with
employee housing. There is a corresponding Preliminary Subdivision application that is
tracking concurrently with this zoning application.
Matt Pielsticker gave a brief presentation highlighting the salient points from the most recent
staff report.
Discussion: Matt Pielsticker presented Staff's Report and made some minor corrections and
added clarifications to the content of the report.
Commissioner Prince asked for clarification on the term "Architectural Projections". Matt
Pielsticker read the definition from the Design Guidelines.
Charlie Moore, Fire Chief, stated the tower would be used for a whole host of reasons,
including training to repel and hose storage/drying.
Jay Peterson stated that a formal presentation would not be made by the applicant's
representative and he would be happy to answer any questions. He went on to summarize the
background and entire process undertaken thus far with regard to this project.
Commissioner Evans asked if the owner was agreeable to the potential of a future rounda-
bout to be located on Swift Gulch Road by the Town of Avon. Jay Peterson responded that
the owner was acceptable to the round -a -bout scenario. Commissioner Evans also
questioned whether the parking requirements have been met. Matt Gennett stated the
proposal conforms with current parking requirements.
The Public Hearing was opened.
The Public Hearing was closed with no comments.
Commissioner Goulding stated that the project was great. He further commented on the Gore
Range Natural Science School (GRNSS) building encroachment into the stream setback and
wanted to ensure that the setback was tied to the GRNSS use. Jay Peterson responded that
the setback encroachment was tied to the development plan and its approval. Matt Gannett
went on to say that any change in use would trigger some type of PUD Amendment if it were
not in keeping with the specifics of the proposed educational use.
Commissioner Goulding also asked about the phasing of the project and the potential for
future development. Commissioner Evans stated that the future development will be on
different lots and subject to Commission approval.
Commissioner Goulding asked about vesting timeframes and requests for an extension to the
standard three-year vesting period. Jay Peterson responded that the minimum was 3 years
and that it is a decision made by Town Council, but he would like to discuss this further with
the Town Attorney. Commissioner Goulding also wanted to ensure that the representation of
architecture and landscaping is the minimum expectation of the Commission.
Commissioner Struve agreed with the comments made by Commissioner Goulding. He also
stated that this project is as important to the Town as it is to the developer.
Commissioner Prince had no extra comments.
Commissioner Green stated that the minimum architectural character for the future design is
what is represented in this application.
Action: Commissioner Goulding moved to recommend approval of the PUD with the conditions
as outlined in Resolutions 09-05 and 09-06, with the following additional conditions added to
Resolution 09-05:
#8 The permitted architectural projection is limited to an approximate 20' x 20' (400
square foot) tower feature that may be used for training purposes; and,
#9 The setback encroachment on Lot 3 is to be legally tied to the science school
(GRNSS) use pursuant to the new zoning designation.
Commissioner Struve seconded the motion, and Chairman Evans asked if there were any
further deliberations on the motion. Commissioner Green asked about the minimum
architecture requirements.
Commissioner Goulding allowed the addition of a new condition #10, related to the minimum
level of architecture tied to the material representations provided.
The motion passed with a 5-0 vote.

Re: Fence for Public Works Facility
Discussion:
AVON
C O L O R A D O
The subject property, Tract N, Block 5, Wildridge, is zoned by the Wildridge PUD replat
#2 for open space, drainage, and access. Currently, a Public Works facility is located
on the southern portion of the site as seen on the attached site plan provided by the
applicant. The Design Review Guidelines do not have criteria on fences associated
wfth a Public Use, but below are the excerpts from the Design Review Guidelines for
Residential, Commercial and Industrial fencing.
The Town of Avon's Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Desian Review
Guidelines regulate fence construction as listed (verbatim) below.
Residential
All fences require approval through a 'Minor Project and/or Modification'
application. Although discouraged in Wildridge and WIdwood, in all instances
fences should complement the property and landscape rather than contain the
property. Fences that delineate property boundaries are not permitted. Fences
will be considered for approval by staff only when demonstrated by the
applicant that the design is consistent with the following criteria:
1. Fence material shall be wood and no more than four feet in
height
2. Split rail design with no more than 2 horizontal 'rails'.
3. Does not delineate property lines.
4. Fenced area is less than 2,000 square feet.
5. Wildlife migration is not negatively affected with the proposed
fence design.
6. If part of a multi -family project approval must be received from
the association, and the fence design must be integrated with the
overall landscape design of the property.
7. If located on a duplex property, written approval must be received
from adjoining property owner and the fence design must be
integrated with the overall landscape design.
Applications that do not meet one or more of the above criteria can only be
reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Commercial and Industrial
All commercial service areas are to be screened from adjacent land uses by
architectural features such as solid four -foot or six-foot fences, and/or heavily
massed plant materials. All fences, whether decorative or for screening must be
constructed of wood, masonry walls will only be considered if they are designed
as an integral component of the building's architecture. Buffering may be
required by architectural features if excessive noise levels are anticipated or
encountered.
Minimum requirements:
1. Loading and unloading facilities must be separated from employee,
customer and visitor circulation and parking areas wherever feasible. All
service areas, loading and unloading docks must be screened from public
view.
2. Ground -mounted equipment such as power transformers and air handling
equipment must be screened from public view by either materials integral
with the building, a fence or landscaping, all of which must be specifically
approved for the site. Trash dumpsters shall be screened by a six-foot
fence or wall similar in character to the adjacent structure, with access gates
as necessary.
3. Fence materials shall be compatible with the site and the materials of the
structures on the site. Fencing may be used in combination with plant
materials. in all cases, however, plant materials must be used to screen
utility boxes. Meters, phone pedestals, and transformers will occur to the
side and rear of the building whenever possible and be appropriately
screened.
4. No wall, fence, or planter in excess of two -feet in height should be
constructed or maintained nearer to the front lot line than the front building
setback line. No front, side or rear fence, wall or hedge maybe more than
six -feet in height.
5. Fences should be either one of three types in commercial areas: two (split)
rail open fences, four -foot solid fence, or a six-foot solid fence. No chain-
link permitted.
In the residential fencing criteria of the Design Guidelines, it is stated that fences in
Wildridge and Wildwood are discouraged. This fence is being proposed for a property
in the Wildwood portion of Wildridge. The application also does not comply with the
following criteria:
1. Fence material shall be wood and no more than four feet in height
2. Split rail design with no mon: than 2 horizontal `rails'
4. Fenced area is less than 2,000 square feet.
5. Wildlife migration is not negatively affected with the proposed fence design.
When comparing the application to the Commercial and Industrial regulations of the
Design Guidelines there are also many inconsistencies. The proposal is not
consistent with the following criteria:
All commercial service areas are to be screened from adjacent land uses by
architectural features such as solid four -foot or six-foot fences, and/or heavily
massedplant materials. All fences, whether decorative or forscreening
must be constructed of wood; masonry walls will only be considered if they
are designed as an integral component of the building's architecture.
5. No wall, fence, or planter in excess of two -feet in height should be constructed
or maintained nearer to the front lot line than the front building setback line. No
from side or reai fence, wall or hedge maybe more than six -feet in
height
6. Fences should be either one of three types in commercial areas: two (split) rail
open fences, four -foot solid fence, or a six-foot solid fence. No chain-link
permitted.

Staff Report
FINAL DESIGN PLAN VO N
C O L O•R A D 0
April 7, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date April 3, 2009
Project type Single Family Residence
Legal description Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning 2 Units — PUD
Address 5712 Wildridge Road East
Introduction
The applicant, Ryan Sutter, has submitted a Final Design application for a single family
residence with an attached accessory unit over the garage on Lot 12, Block 4 of the
Wildridge Subdivision. The lot will be accessed off of Wildridge Road East and the
proposed residence will measure approximately 5,500 sq. ft., inclusive of the garage
area. The building is designed with gabled roofs with asphalt shingles and corten metal
roofing with stone, wood shingles, vertical wood siding and horizontal log siding on the
exterior walls.
Included with this report are a vicinity map (Exhibit A), Color Board and Light Fixture
Specification Sheet (Exhibit B), and reduced plan sets with a site plan, floor plans, and
elevations (Exhibit C).
Review History
In 2001, the owner of the property applied for and received approval for a PUD
Amendment for the subject property. The PUD Amendment changed the zoning on the
lot from a maximum density of one (1) dwelling unit to two (2) dwelling units.
In 2006, a Final Design application was approved for an 8,400 square foot duplex
residence. The approved plan has a similar site layout with the driveway access from
the southern corner of the lot and the residence placed in the northern two-thirds (2/3)
of the lot. The approved plan also depicts numerous engineered retaining walls
throughout the site and has a limited landscaping plan.
At the Commission's March 4, 2008 meeting, the Sketch Design review took place for
this property during which several comments were made related to the following design
issues: the difficult layout of the site, the amount of retaining walls proposed, and the
lack of natural landscaping.
On September 2, 2008, the Final Design application was approved for this property with
the following conditions of approval:

The applicant has revised their drawings to address about half of the above mentioned
conditions and redesigned the proposed structure. There are a limited number of
changes to the site plan and a substantial increase in the number of plantings.
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 Zoning Code.
• Allowed use: The proposed residential use is permitted given the duplex - PUD
zoning.
• Density. The lot is zoned for a duplex residence and the proposed single family
density is appropriate. As proposed, the structure only contains one dwelling unit
and one accommodation unit due to the use of an efficiency kitchen in the
attached guest unit.

Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision — Sutter Residence Final Design
April 7, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 3 of 8 Alh
• Lot Coverage: Maximum site coverage allowed under the Wildridge PUD is fifty
percent (50%). The project is in compliance with the PUD, proposing seventeen
percent (17%) lot coverage.
Setbacks: The setbacks for the property are typical for Wildridge with a twenty-
five foot (25) wide front yard setback and ten foot (10) wide side yard building
setbacks. The subject lot does not contain a rear yard setback since the side
yard setbacks intersect at a point in the rear of the lot. Even though the building
is within all required setbacks, an Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) will be
required to document the exact location to ensure no encroachments occur.
Easements: A Utility and Drainage Easement of seven and one-half feet (7.5') in
width borders both of the side property lines on the north and south, while a ten
foot (10') wide Slope Maintenance, Drainage, and Snow Storage Easement
borders the east side of the property. It is not advised to place landscaping
within platted easements; however, it is the owner's responsibility if this
landscaping requires removal and replacement in the future.
Building Height The proposed residence measures approximately twenty nine
feet and nine inches (29'-9") at its tallest point which complies with the Zoning
Code's maximum height of thirty five feet (35').
• Grading/Drainage: All existing and proposed grades are indicated on the site
plan.
• 'Parking: This project requires three (3) parking spaces (two (2) per unit under
2,500 sq. ft. / three (3) per unit over 2,500 sq. ft). The applicant has proposed a
total of four (4) parking spaces, two (2) interior and two (2) exterior spaces, which
do meet the parking requirements.
2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comarehensive Plan. and any sub -area plan which pertains.
The project 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 a single family residence.
4. The Final Design plan is in general conformance with Sub -Sections A through
D of the Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Desian Guidelines.
A. Site Development:
o Site Design: The Design Guidelines put emphasis on site layout design
and state that structures should blend in with natural settings and limit the
need for extensive site grading and slope retention. The site is steep and
uphill that contains a platted non -developable area in the northern portion
of the property and significant topographical change along the lower
portion of the lot. This lot will require special consideration of the site
design, grading and drainage, use of retaining walls, and treatment of
exposed slopes.

Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision — Sutter Residence Final Design
April 7, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Page 4 of 8 AM
The applicant has provided a site plan that depicts the proposed structure
being built into the hill side. Due to the steepness of the lot, the applicant
has proposed a large number of retaining walls that will -all need to be
engineered. Although the proposed residence doesn't step up the lot as
the guidelines would suggest, the applicant has proposed to pull the
residence as far east as possible and place the residence in the hillside.
The Guidelines state that all disturbed areas should be revegetated with
native seed. The applicant intends to restore disturbed areas with
vegetation as shown on the landscape plan and discussed later in this
report.
o Site Access: Access to the site is provided with a twelve foot (12) wide
driveway from Wildridge Road East. The applicant is representing that the
driveway meets the maximum grade requirements by stating a ten percent
(10%) grade is used for a majority of the driveway. The balance of the
driveway meets the four percent (4%) maximum for the first twenty feet
(20') adjacent to the roadway and parking areas. Although, as seen in
Exhibit B, Staff has concerns about the proposed plan's ability to meet the
ten percent (10%) grades. Staff would recommend that the applicant
revise the drawings to ensure that the proposed driveway meets all
maximum grades.
o Parking and Loading: The intent of the parking guidelines is to provide
residents and guests with suitable parking locations that are also durable
and functional. The parking requirements of this section are discussed
above in the parking zoning requirements. The material used for the
driveway is asphalt which is acceptable and it appears the applicant meets
the parking requirements.
o Site Grading: Due to the location of the proposed residence and the use
of retaining walls, the amount of site grading is minimal. The guidelines
do state the following:
Where finished grades require retaining wall placement, a series of
lower retaining walls with landscaped ten -aces is preferable to a
high wall with an unbroken vertical face.
The applicant is proposing to use all engineered retaining walls that
contain little space for planting beds. As stated earlier in this report, due
to the steepness of the lot, engineered retaining walls will be required for a
majority of the necessary slope retention. The applicant is proposing
retaining walls that extend beyond the property line and into the public
ROW. The guidelines state that all grading work must be contained within
the property boundaries. Staff recommends that the applicant revise their
site plan to ensure that all retaining walls are fully within the property
boundaries.
o Drainage: The Guidelines have been generally met with regard to
drainage as the proposed drainage directs water away from the buildings
and into the drainage easements. The Guidelines require that all drainage

Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision — Sutter Residence Final Design
April 7, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 5 of 8 prix
easements remain unobstructed. The applicant is not proposing any
landscaping within the platted drainage easements.
Snow Removal and Storage: The project has a note designating the
areas to the north and east of the driveway as snow storage areas.
Although the site plan does not contain shaded areas of snow storage, it
appears that there is plenty of space for snow to be stored. The driveway
contains an area to the east that is at least ten feet (10') in width and over
one hundred and fifty feet (150) of length. Staff has determined it is
adequate to meet the Snow Storage requirements of the Design
Guidelines.
B. Building Design:
o Building Materials and Colors: A variety of quality building materials are
proposed with this application, including: Stone, wood shingles, vertical
wood siding, and horizontal log siding. The applicant has proposed
general colors for the wood siding, wood shingles, trim, and roofing
materials (Exhibit C), but the applicant has also stated his desire to use
reclaimed materials. The reclaimed materials could alter the final colors of
the building materials, therefore Staff recommends that the applicant
provide a physical color board to staff for final approval prior to issuance of
a building permit. These proposed colors do meet the Design Guideline
requirements and staff is of the opinion that they are acceptable with the
condition listed above.
o Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Architectural Interest. The building's massing is
broken up with varying building materials, wall planes, roof elevations, and
use of fenestration. The applicant has used a high quality of architecture
to create an interesting composition. The building utilizes a large amount
of stone as a base material with a mixture of vertical wood siding and
wood shingles on the east and south building elevations. The north and
west building elevations have minimal interest, but are acceptable due to
the lack of visibility of the home.
The Design Guidelines don't specifically state that wood shingles are an
allowed or disallowed exterior building material, but they do state that
asphalt shingles and cements shingles are not allowed.
The proposed residence does utilize asphalt shingles and cor-ten as
roofing materials which are encouraged by the Design Guidelines. The
proposal also includes the use of solar panel on a portion of the roof area.
The Guidelines do not contemplate the use of solar panels, but Staff feels
that they are acceptable due to depictions on the elevations of flush
mounted panels. Staff would recommend that the applicant provide
details of how the solar panels will be affixed to the roof top prior to the
issuance of
o Outdoor Lighting: The applicant has proposed to use exterior lighting on
the proposed residence (Exhibit C). Although the light fixture locations are

April 7, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 6 of 8 AIIN
not called out on the plans, the light fixtures proposed do comply with our
outdoor lighting ordinance.
C. Landscaping:
o Design Character. The design appears to generally comply with the intent
of the Residential Landscaping Guidelines, but could be improved to help
provide better screening for retaining walls. In terms of plantings, there
are a total eight (8) Colorado Blue Spruce trees at a height of six feet (6')
or eight feet (8'), nineteen (19) Aspen trees varying from two inch (2") to
three inch (3") calipers, six (6) Maple trees varying from two inch (2") to
three inch (3") calipers, thirty-one (31) Buckbrush shrubs, twenty-seven
(27) Snowberry shrubs, twenty-eight (28) Alpine Current shrubs,
seventeen (17) Siberian Peashrubs, and twenty-six (26) Big Sage shrubs.
The applicant has provided a majority of the plantings to the south of the
proposed residence, but due to the number of plantings staff is of the
opinion that a greater level of screening has been provided when
compared to the previous design approval.
According to the applicant the Colorado Blue Spruce trees could be
shorter than the required six foot (6') minimums allowed by the Design
Guidelines. Staff would recommend that the applicant revise their
drawings to ensure all plantings will meet the minimum size requirements
as prescribed by the Design Guidelines: 6' minimum height for
evergreens, 2" minimum caliper for deciduous trees, and 5 gallon
minimum for shrubs.
o Irrigation/Watering: The applicant is not proposing any permanent
irrigation and will only temporarily irrigate the planting beds to help ensure
initial growth. It appears that the applicant has met the requirements of
this section of the Design Guidelines.
o Retaining Walls: There are numerous retaining walls proposed with this
site design. Most of the retaining walls do not comply with the non -
structurally designed retaining walls that are encouraged by the Design
Guidelines. It appears that the applicant has provided a structurally
designed retaining wall and, as stated in Exhibit B, Staff will require that
the designs be stamped by a Structural Enginneer and that the Engineer
provides calculations to the Engineering Department prior to issuance of a
building permit.
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 lot has a steep uphill slope that requires significant slope retention. With that in
mind, Staff is of the opinion that the proposed improvements limit the amount of site
disturbance. Staff has a concern regarding the plans not showing limits of site
disturbance fencing properly surrounding the extent of the construction area, namely
on the south side of the driveway. Staff recommends that the applicant revise the
Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748.4030 Fax (970) 949-5749
Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision — Sutter Residence Final Design
April 7, 2009 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 7 of 8 Af BN
construction management plan to ensure that the limit of site disturbance fencing
completely surrounds the proposed development.
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. The
property is adjacent to open space to the north and a developed lot to the south.
Staff has determined the proposed improvements are compatible with the
surrounding area.
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 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 is recommending Conditional Approval of this Final Design application for a
single family residence on Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision.
Recommended Motion
"I move to approve the Final Design application for a single family residence on Lot 12,
Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision with the FINDING that the design is in conformance with
the Town of Avon Zoning Code and Town of Avon Design Review Guidelines and
subject to the following conditions to be addressed prior to the issuance of a building
permit:
1. The Construction Management Plan (Sheet A-012) be revised to ensure limits of
disturbance fencing completely surrounding the proposed improvements;
2. Revise the Site Plan (Sheet A-011) to ensure that all driveway grades meet the
maximum allowed under the Design Guidelines;
3. Revise the Site Plan (Sheet A-011) to ensure all retaining walls are fully within
the property boundaries;
4. All Retaining Walls over four feet (4') in height be revised to reflect a non-
structural wall or a detail be added so that the design receives a stamped
approval from a Colorado Licensed Professional Structural Engineer and that all
required calculations be received and approved by the Town Engineer;
5. The applicant provide staff with physical samples of all colors for all materials,
especially reclaimed materials prior to approval of any colors or materials; and,
6. Except as otherwise modified by this approval, all material representations made
by the applicant or applicant representatives in this application and in public
hearings shall be adhered to and considered binding conditions of approval."

Date: April 1, 2009
Re: Sutter Residence, Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge
COMMENTS: The following comments are in response to our review of the
above referenced plans.
1. Structural retaining walls (supporting driveways/roadways or walls over 4' in
height) require submittal of plans and design calculations stamped by a
structural engineer licensed in the State of Colorado. These must be provided
and approved by the Town Engineer prior to building permit.
2. The driveway scales close to an 11% slope. The maximum slope allowed on
residential driveways is 10%.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 748-4114.

Multi Family Residences
Lot 9, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision
PUD — 8 Units
1051 W. Wildwood Road
Introduction
Jeff Manley of Martin Manley Architects, representing the owner of this Wildridge
Subdivision property, has submitted a Sketch Design application for two (2) new four-
plex structures along Wildwood Road. Each unit will measure approximately 2,021
square feet and will be group in a townhouse configuration. The proposed buildings
are to have stucco and wood siding as the primary exterior building materials, and
each proposed residence will contain three (3) levels, two (2) of which will be living
space. The lowest level will contain a garage and entry, while the middle level will
consist of a kitchen, living/dining space, and a utility room, while the upper most level
will contain the bedrooms.
Included with this report are a vicinity map (Exhibit A) and reduced plan sets
containing a site plan, floor plans, and elevations (Exhibit B).
Staff Comments
Based upon a preliminary review, this application appears to generally comply with the
Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Desion Review Guidelines.
There are a few instances where the application varies from the Code and/or
Guidelines. The Town Staff and the applicant are requesting that the Planning and
Zoning Commission provide feedback on the following areas of discrepancy:
The parking requirements for this proposal will require a minimum of 2 spaces per unit
as well as two (2) guest parking spaces. The proposal only shows three (3) parking
spaces per unit (two (2) interior spaces and one (1) exterior space). Staff requests
that the applicant revise the site plan for Final Design to ensure that there are a
minimum of two assigned Guest Parking spaces provided.
Duolex 8 Multi -Family Developments
Duplex and Multi -Family developments must be designed in a manner that creates a single
unified structure and site plan. 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'structures are not supported, the design intent should be one

that creates a unified structure with enough variety and architectural interest to distinguish a
duplex or multi -family structure from a single family home.
The proposal does use two main exterior building materials, stucco and wood siding,
for each unit. Furthermore, each unit has an identical floor plan which is discouraged
by the Design Guidelines. Although the proposal is not consistent with the Design
Guidelines, Staff is of the opinion that the proposal should be allowed due to its
conformance with the character and appearance of the surrounding designs. In this
portion of Wildwood, all of the multi -family structures have nearly identical floor plans
to the other units within that complex.
Exterior Walls. Roofs. and Architectural interest
The Town of Avon is not comprised of a singular and unified 'neighborhood' theme, however, it
does contain several architecturally distinct neighborhoods. Within these neighborhoods exist
a variety of exterior wall types that typify the type of design that is appropriate to our
community.
Minimum requirements:
1. Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. The
appropriate use of predominantly indigenous building materials such as native stone,
wood siding, and timbers is encouraged in our mountain community.
2. Projections such as deep eaves, overhangs, canopies, and other features that provide
architectural interest are encouraged. Fenestration should be articulated on large
exterior walls to break up massing. At a minimum, no single wall plane should exceed
70% of the elevation of any exposure. Breaks in the wall plane should form at least a
2 -foot step/setback.
3. All roofs, except the flat portion thereof, shall have a rise of not less than 4 -inches in
12 -inches of distance. Primary roofs shall have a 4:12 minimum, and a 12:12
maximum. Secondary roofs shall have a 4:12 minimum, and metal roofs shall have a
3:12 minimum. There shall be no unbroken ridgelines allowed, except on pueblo roofs
that are otherwise traditionally articulated.
4. Pitched roofs shall be oriented such that excessive snow and ice does not accumulate
over, or drop onto pedestrian walkways, parking areas or drives. Special protection
may be required for roofs so oriented. Overhangs are required on pitched roofs, and
shall extend at least one and one-half feet from the point where the wall meets the roof.
5. Roofing materials should be durable, weather resistant and suitable for environmental
conditions encountered in this area. Colors should be natural or earth tones. Large
expanses of bright, reflective materials will not be acceptable; however, metal such as
copper, cor-ten may be acceptable. Asphalt and fiberglass composition shingles must
be of high quality and minimum weight of 300 pounds per square. Untreated shakes
are not permitted.
The design proposes to step each unit down the hillside when viewing the design from
either the east or west elevations. Staff does have concerns about the architectural
interest on each elevation and would like input from the Commission.
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:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other
provisions of the Zoning Code;
2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains;

3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed
improvements;
4. General conformance with Residential Development Sections A through D
of the Town of Avon Residential. Commercial. and Industrial Desion
Review Guidelines;
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;
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;
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the
vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired; and
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted
Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
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 April 7th, 2009 meeting.
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, ,please call me
directly at 748-4002, or stop by the office of Community Development.'

Re: Historic Preservation Committee Property Nomination
Nottingham Blacksmith Shop
Introduction:
J0 N
C O L O R A D O
The Avon Historic Preservation Advisory Committee submitted a nomination for a
structure to be considered for Historic Landmark designation. Please consider this
nomination and act in accordance with the procedures outlined in Chapter 17.50 of the
Avon Municipal Code.
After a public hearing, the Commission shall make a recommendation to the Town
Council. A majority decision of the Council is then required for final approval of any
designated site or structure.
This item was heard by the Commission at their February 3, 2009 and February 17,
2009 meetings, where the Commission required input from the owners of the property
on which the Blacksmith Shop is located. Since that hearing, the owners have
provided input attached as Exhibit C to this Memorandum.
The Historical Field Analysis (Exhibit A) provided by Tatanka Historical Associates,
Inc, is attached, as well as a draft resolution (Exhibit B), which forms a
recommendation for approval of this nomination to the Town Council.
Discussion:
The documentation attached to this Memorandum provides clear evidence of the
historical and cultural significance of the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop. The structure
is nearly 100 years old and is one of few original remaining structures in the Town.
This nomination appears to meet the intent and purpose of the Historic Preservation
Ordinance.
It is important to note that if this structure is declared a Historic and Cultural Landmark
by the Avon Town Council, there will be certain stipulations placed on the building.
Any exterior alteration, relocation or removal of a structure must be reviewed by the
Historic Preservation Advisory Committee, the Planning and Zoning Commission and
the Town Council.
Historic Committee Background:
The Town Council expressed a value in historic preservation and stewardship of
historic sites when the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee was established in
2005. The Historic Preservation Committee was formed by Resolution No. 05-13 on
May 10, 2005, and serves as an advisory Committee for the purpose of promoting
historical preservation in the Town.
The Committee meets quarterly and is charged with recognizing and recommending
historic landmark structures and properties to the Town Council. When the Committee
was formed, a "Heritage Fund" was created to fund their operation.
The Historic and Cultural Preservation Ordinance was approved on March 25, 2008 by
the Town Council upon second reading. The Ordinance establishes the processes
involved with nomination, and sets forth requirements for when a site or structure is
designated as a Historic Landmark.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve Resolution No.
09-02 (Exhibit B), recommending approval of the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop as a
Town of Avon listed Historic and Cultural Landmark.
Recommended Motion:
"I move to approve Resolution No. 09-02, a resolution recommending approval of the
Nottingham Blacksmith Shop as a Historic and Cultural Landmark to the Town
Council, with the finding that the nomination meets the following review criteria:
Has been in existence for over 50 years,
2. Is a point of interest reflecting the economic and cultural development of
the Town of Avon;
3. Is associated with important individuals who contributed significantly to
the cultural life of the community; and,
4. Characterizes a style associated with a particular era."

Subject: Historical Background & Analysis
Nottingham Blacksmith Shop
Dear Matt,
Tatanka Historical Associates Inc. has completed its historical research and field
analysis of the Red House and Barn in Avon. Please accept the following report, which
presents the results of this study to the town.
Once you and the members of the NPC have had a chance to review the information in
this report, please let me know if you have any questions or would like any changes to
be made.
Sincerely,
Ron Sladek
President
Nottingham Blacksmith Shop
2000 Hurd Lane
Avon. Colorado
Description of the Resource
The Nottingham Blacksmith Shop is located in the northeast quarter of the
southeast quarter of Section 12, Township 5 South, Range 82 West. More
specifically, this corresponds to a residential parcel at 2000 Hurd Ln. (#2105-124-
00-001) just west of the Eaglebend Apartments. The property is bordered on the
north by Hurd Ln., on the south by the Eagle River, and on the east and west by
adjacent residential properties.
Two buildings occupy the project site, which is accessed from Hurd Ln. by a
short driveway. The larger of these buildings, located in the southern half of the
property, is a ranch -style residence that for many years served as the home of
Frank and Imogene Doll. The northern half of the property, essentially the front
yard of the house, holds the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop. This building is
surrounded by a grassed yard, along with trees to the north and west.
The Blacksmith Shop is an 18'x 30' log building that faces toward the southwest.
In recent decades it has been used for storage, although it has been emptied and
is now vacant. The one-story building rests upon a modern concrete foundation
that rises about 10" above grade. Its walls combine square hewn and round
logs, all with square notching at the corners. The concrete chinking is mostly
gone from between the logs. The building has a side -gabled roof that is finished
with corrugated metal sheeting and exposed rafter ends. A tall metal stovepipe
pierces the north slope of the roof near the building's eastern end.
The south (front) elevation holds the only entrance, which is filled with a pair of
modern plywood swinging doors. In front of the entry is a modern concrete ramp.
West of the entrance is an eight -light fixed window with a wood frame and
surrounds. This window is partially boarded closed, with several broken or
missing lights.
The north (rear) elevation holds an eight -light fixed window with a wood frame
and surrounds. As on the front of the building, several of the lights are broken or
missing. The entire wall is covered with corrugated metal sheeting that wraps
around the northwest corner.
The east and west (side) elevations hold no entries or windows. They exhibit
their exposed log walls, with corrugated metal cladding the gable end walls
above.
The Blacksmith Shop is in good condition, although it has been altered with a few
non -historic changes. Most notable, the building has been moved from its
original location (more about this below). It now rests upon a modern concrete
foundation. The original front doors have been replaced with two sheets of
plywood. The rear wall, roof and gable end walls have been clad in non -original
corrugated metal sheeting. While these changes have altered the building
somewhat, the metal cladding has also likely preserved the original woodwork
underneath.

Historical Background
The history of the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop was assembled through a
combination of archival research and interviews. At the end of this document is a
bibliography of the sources that were consulted.
The log building that is the subject of this study was constructed by Clyde
Nottingham, a member of Avon's most prominent pioneer family. Clyde was born
in Guthrie, Iowa in 1875 to William and Nancy Angeline Nottingham. When he
was four years old, the family migrated west to the Colorado mining camps of
Red Cliff and Gilman in the upper Eagle River country. The family eventually
settled downriver in the area now occupied by Avon and Beaver Creek. There
they acquired land and built a successful ranching and farming enterprise.
Around 1900, the ranch ended up in the hands of Angeline and her three sons,
Clyde, Harry and Emmett.
In 1908, Clyde erected a two-story house for his family along the north bank of
the Eagle River just north of the hamlet of Avon where Building A of the Canyon
Run Condominiums is now located. Nearby he constructed a barn (actually a
granary or feed storage facility), a stockyard, and a log blacksmith shop, all of
which were erected between 1908 and 1912. In addition to ranching, Clyde
engaged in the sale of farm implements, supplies and machinery (and even
clothing) to area ranchers. He used the blacksmith shop not only for family
needs, but also offered machinery repairs to the public.

Photo from the Eagle Public Library, Local History Collection.
In June 1912, Clyde engaged the services of Denver blacksmith Richard Wilke to
run his shop. According to the Eagle Valley Enterprise (28 June 1912), Wilke
had come "highly recommended, having been engaged in the work many years."
The shop was advertised as providing "first class work guaranteed, prices right.
You are invited to come and visit the shop located in Avon." Additional
advertisements the following weeks (July 51n 12th & 26th) stated "Don't forget
Nottingham's blacksmith shop. All kinds of work done. Everything guaranteed
first class;" "Look over your machinery and see what you need and order now. I
have some repairs on hand but may not have the one you need. Order early and
avoid delay;" and "First class blacksmithing done at my shop." The building
included not only a forge, but also a tire shrinker used to replace wagon wheel
rims.
Because of several run-ins with the law, in 1918 Clyde was ordered by a judge to
leave Eagle County for good. He sold his interests in the family ranch to brothers
Harry and Emmett and moved to Glenwood Springs, where for many years he
owned and operated a cafes near the train depot. In the mid -1930s, Clyde moved
on to California, where he died in 1942 in Los Angeles.
The blacksmith shop remained in its original location near the Avon stockyards,
approximately where the Starbucks on Hurd Ln. is found, through the 1930s.
Sometime in the 1940s, most likely during the years following WWII, it was
moved closer to Clyde Nottingham's old home in what is now the Canyon Run
property. The roof on the building appears to date from that time period. The
shop was moved a second time in 1984 to Frank and Imogene Doll's property
when all of the buildings that made up the original Clyde Nottingham farmstead
were relocated to accommodate the Canyon Run project This time the building
was set onto the concrete foundation that remains there today.
Conclusions
Based upon the findings of this project, the following conclusions are made
regarding the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop:
The Nottingham Blacksmith Shop is an early remnant of the
community of Avon, dating back to the period around 1910. The
building is in good condition, although it has experienced some
alterations. Clearly the front doors have been replaced in recent
decades. In addition, the windows are in need of repairs. The roof
may have been replaced during the 1940s. Since no historic
photographs are known to be available, it is somewhat challenging to
determine what additional changes may have been made. However,
the building appears to have changed little over the past fifty years.
Perhaps more significant, the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop has been
moved from its original location. It has actually experienced two
moves, one in the 1940s and the second to its current location in 1984.
The fact that it is no longer in its original location and setting
diminishes the building's historic integrity. Due to this move, combined
with the fact that the original doors are missing, the building is no
longer eligible for listing in the State or National Registers of Historic
Places. However, it may be eligible for designation on the local level
as an Avon Historic Landmark. The building is very important to the
history of Avon, particularly the period of the early 1900s when the
community was still in its agricultural phase.
• Overall, the building is in very restorable condition. Its log walls and
roof appear to be intact, with little observable decay noted. The
windows need some attention to be restored. Finally, the front doors
need to be replaced with doors that are more historically appropriate.
Finally, the building is currently located on private property and
mention has been made that it might be moved away in the near
future. Reportedly, a descendant of Frank and Imogene Doll's intends
to move it not only out of Avon but out of the state of Colorado. With
so few buildings left in Avon from the community's early -history,
removal of the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop would be a great loss to
the town and its heritage. It is highly recommended that the Town of
Avon move to secure the building and relocate it to a public property
where it can eventually be restored and made accessible, or at least
viewable, to the public. Under public ownership, the building would
provide an excellent opportunity to interpret the community's history
through the creation of interpretive materials and restoration of an early
blacksmith shop: In addition, the original forge may be located in the
area (the Doll family may have it in storage) and this could be
reinstalled in the building even if it is not made operable.

Re: 2000 Hurd Lane, Avon, CO
Dear Mr. Pielsticker:
RECEIVED
MAR 0 9 2009
Community Nvelopmnn-
As you know, the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop (the "Shop") is located on the property
located at 2000 Hurd Lane (the "Property") owned by the Doll Family Consolidated Trust (the
"Trust").
Exhibit C
Unfortunately, I do not represent all persons interested in the Trust. My clients consist of
(i) Louis Medeiros, one of two (2) Co -Trustee of the Trust; and (ii) Patricia Medeiros, Matthew
Medeiros and Levi Medeiros, beneficiaries of 2/3 the Trust. As you may know, the other person
interested in the Trust is Kathleen Doll. Ms. Doll is the other Co -Trustee of the Trust, and is
beneficiary of the remaining 1/3 of the Trust. Ms. Doll is currently represented by Brett Steven
Heckman, of Eagle, Colorado.
My clients have indicated that they will withhold their objection to the proposed
designation of the Shop as a historic and cultural landmark; provided that, however:
The Town of Avon shall remove the Shop from the Property at no cost to the
Trust;
2. The Shop shall not be removed from the Property until the Property is sold by the
Trust (we anticipate that the Trust is likely to list the Property for sale within the
next 60 days); and
The Town of Avon shall permit the Trust to avail itself to all available local
property tax credits.
For these purposes, removal by the Town of Avon shall include reclamation of the land
(i.e., removal of the cement slab foundation on which the Shop is resting, and re -soiling and
re -seeding the land, if deemed necessary, in the Trust's sole and absolute discretion). Further,
DANIEL C. DOHERTY, P.C.

such removal shall be coordinated by and among (i) the Town of Avon, (ii) the Trust, and (iii)
any purchaser of the Property, but in all events complete removal (including reclamation) shall
occur prior to closing.
Again, we cannot proceed with this matter without Ms. Doll's concurrence. Accordingly,
we encourage you to pursue, with all due haste, her consent.
Please let us know if you have any further questions. If Ms. Doll's objections are
withdrawn, the hearing date of March 17, 2009, may be appropriate. However, if Ms. Doll's
consent is not obtained by that time, then the appropriateness of that hearing date is for her and
her attorney to comment upon.
