Final Design Staff Report January 16, 2001 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Report date January 12, 2001 Project type Master Sign Program Amendment, Chapel Square PUD, Outback Steakhouse, North sign Legal description Lot 22A, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Zoning Address Introduction PUD 245 Chapel Place This is a summary of review criteria, staff comments and recommendations regarding the application for a modification to the Master Sign Program of the Chapel Square development. Design for tenant signs and directional signs for this project were approved in conjunction with a previous application. The application under consideration consists solely of a proposed freestanding sign located east of City Market directly south of Interstate 70 between East Beaver Creek Boulevard and Chapel Place. The proposed height is 25 feet with an area of 64 square feet. The location of the sign will be immediately north of the proposed chapel. Design Review Considerations According to the Town of Avon's Sign Code, Section 15.28.070 Design Review Criteria, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed designs: 1. The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be constructed and the site upon it is to be located. The proposed sign materials consist of red pan channel lettering with interior neon illumination on a white background. The Master Sign Program for Chapel Square discourages this type of sign. The proposed location, allowing for the 10 foot setback, will leave minimal room for landscaping. 2. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements. The immediate area consists of retail, personal services, accommodation units, and office space. 3. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement. The base will match the existing stone utilized throughout Chapel Square. 4. The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent or neighboring property. The proposed sign will have a significant visual impact on neighboring properties due to its height. 5. The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired. The proposed sign, due to its height, is dissimilar to the area and may impair aesthetic values. 6. Whether the type, height, size, and/or quality of signs generally complies with the sign code, and are appropriate for the project. The sign code does not allow freestanding signs to exceed 20 feet in height. The proposed sign consists of a stone base 20 feet tall topped by a sign 5 feet in height for a total height of 25 feet. Signs in excess of 25 feet in height may be approved by variance. The previous amendment to the Master Sign Program was approved with the 25 foot height. 7. Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether the sign is appropriate for the determined orientation The primary orientation of the proposed sign is to vehicular traffic on Interstate 70. The proposed orientation of the sign is appropriate for this purpose only. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Outback Steakhouse freestanding sign with the following conditions: 1. The maximum height of the sign shall not exceed 25 feet. 2. The sign face is changed to a bronze colored aluminum face, similar to the existing tenant signs, with routed letters and logos. The lettering and logos can be of any color. 3. The sign is moved south on the property to a point that it can be erected with a 10 foot property line setback with adequate landscaping. 4. The revised sign placement and landscaping must be approved by staff. 5. Revise the sign base, for staff approval, to reduce the solid, massive appearance. 6. The location of the sign must be surveyed prior to installation and an ILC will be required to verify the location of the sign.

Legal description Tract A, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Zoning PUD Address 220 Beaver Creek Place Introduction This is a summary of review criteria, staff comments and recommendations regarding the application for a modification to the Master Sign Program of the Chapel Square development. Design for tenant signs and directional signs for this project were approved in conjunction with a previous application. The application under consideration consists solely of a proposed freestanding sign located north of Wal-Mart adjacent to Beaver Creek Place and Chapel Place. The proposed sign will replace the existing Wal-Mart/Avon Marketplace sign. The proposed height is 13 feet with a signage area of 64 square feet. Design Review Considerations According to the Town of Avon's Sign Code, Section 15.28.070 Design Review Criteria, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed designs: 1. The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be constructed and the site upon it is to be located. The proposed sign materials consist of aluminum for the sign face with text and logos cut from the solid material. Overall height of the proposed sign is 13 feet. Proposed sign area is 64 square feet. 2. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements. The immediate area consists of retail, personal services, accommodation units, and office space. 3. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement. The base will match the existing stone utilized throughout Chapel Square. 4. The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent or neighboring property. Impact on neighbors will be minimal. 5. The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired. The proposed sign fits well with other signage in the area. 6. Whether the type, height, size, and/or quality of signs generally complies with the sign code, and are appropriate for the project. The town sign code recommends that monument signs are 8 feet tall. The previous approval was for 10 feet. The sign complies with the existing Master Sign Program with the exception to the Outback tenant space, which has a white metal face with red routed out letters. 7. Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether the sign is appropriate for the determined orientation The primary orientation of the proposed sign is to vehicular traffic. The proposed orientation of the signs is appropriate. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Outback Steakhouse freestanding sign with the following conditions: 1. The height of the sign shall not exceed 10 feet. 2. The sign face is changed to a bronze colored aluminum face, similar to the existing tenant signs, with routed letters and logos.

Design for tenant signs and directional signs for this project were approved in conjunction with a previous application. The application under consideration consists solely of a proposed tenant sign located in the center of Building B, unit B-120. The proposed cabinet sign will have a height of three feet and a width of twelve feet. Design Review Considerations According to the Town of Avon's Sign Code, Section 15.28.070 Design Review Criteria, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing proposed designs: 1. The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be constructed and the site upon it is to be located. The proposed sign materials consist of white aluminum for the sign face with red pan channel lettering and border with interior neon illumination. The Master Sign Program for Chapel Square prohibits the white aluminum face with pan channel lettering. 2. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements. The immediate area consists of retail, personal services, accommodation units, and office space. 3. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement. The Master Sign Program states that the tenant sign face are aluminum faces with routed out lettering and interior illumination. 4. The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent or neighboring property. The proposed pan channel text and border will be significantly more visible from adjacent properties and conflict with the cohesive tenant signs of the building. 5. The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired. The proposed pan channel text and border will have a significant visual impact in comparison to all other tenant signs in the development. 6. Whether the type, height, size, and/or quality of signs generally complies with the sign code, and are appropriate for the project. The Master Sign Program states that tenant sign dimensions are to be two feet in height and ten feet in width. The proposed Outback sign is three feet in height and twelve feet in width. The sign will look proportional in size within the archway. The Outback tenant sign is proposing pan channel letters and a white face, which is discouraged by the Master Sign Program. 7. Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether the sign is appropriate for the determined orientation The primary orientation of the proposed sign is to pedestrian traffic. The proposed orientation of the signs is appropriate. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. The sign face is changed to a bronze colored aluminum face, similar to the existing tenant signs, with routed letters and logos. The lettering and logos can be of any color. 2. The supports for the sign must be vertical to match the other tenant signs. 3. The cabinet color must match the color of the other tenant signs.

The applicant has requested input from Community Development, the Engineering Department and the Planning and Zoning Commissioners on the proposed access scheme to this lot prior to submitting an application for Final Design approval. The following is a summary of Staff concerns with this project: 1. There still does not appear to be adequate evidence that the owner has difficulty with using one access point for both sides of the duplex residence. 2. Section 4.22 (A) of the Design Standards states that "Residential projects with six or fewer units shall be restricted to a single point of vehicle access from the public right-of- way. Additional points of access must be approved specifically by the Planning & Zoning Commission with the finding that additional access points are required for the project to otherwise conform to these Design Standards and other applicable Town regulations." 3. The dual driveway (scheme Al) and single driveway (scheme A4) causes an increase in site disturbance. This is of particular concern since this lot is situated on a relatively large drainage basin. By constructing the proposed driveways, there would be an increase in fill material in the drainage areas. 4. There are many other designs for the site that would allow for better access and less visual impact on the site. 5. Staff does not find that an additional access point would be required for the project to conform to the Design Standards. By the applicant's own admission, a single access point would serve this project without any undue hardship as a result of the Design Standard requirements as evidenced by scheme A2 or A3. Summary: Staff continues to recommend that the applicant submit a final design for this project that uses only a single access point for both sides of the duplex. We cannot find any compelling rationale for two access points to this lot. Staff would recommend schemes A2 or A3 which comply with all design requirements for single access driveways. The applicant is not restricted in any way by topography or safety constraints to such a degree as to warrant another access point to this project.

The chart below identifies the facts of all of the schemes. In addition to the chart, there is a summary of the results which we believe is factual proof giving reason to approve our request for two separate driveways. Scheme Area of Asphalt in front of the building No. of Garage Doors facing road Flexibility in Landscaping Amount of Site Disturbance 2 DRIVES 2,157 1 Highest Lower A 2,681 2 Low Lowest B 3,357 2 Lowest Higher C 3,358 1 Low Higher D 2,727 1 Medium Higher Summary: Scheme — 2 DRIVES has the smallest quantity of asphalt exposed to the public way. 2. Scheme — 2 DRIVES has only one garage door facing the street; thereby reducing garage door impact on the neighborhood. 3. Scheme — 2 DRIVES has the highest flexibility to increase the number of trees planted between the public way and the asphalt and buildings while staying out of the view corridors. 4. Scheme — A has the lowest amount of site disturbance with Scheme — 2 DRIVES having the second lowest. All other schemes have higher site disturbance due to the building shift. 5. In Scheme — 2 DRIVES, due to the site location at the very top of the hill, very few cars pass the lot; therefore the 2 driveway entrances have very little "traffic" implications. The driveways are located on the inside corner so there is no traffic visibility problem. 6. When cars are parked in front of the garages, Scheme — A and Scheme — B will appear like the parking lot. 7. Scheme — C requires part of the driveway to be within the Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement due to grading and required turning radii.
