Traer Creek should undertake a definitive process to define the Vision and Master Plan for the Village as a whole. This will facilitate the generation of Guidelines for other Planning Areas and integrate them to each other and with the rest of the town. 2. The Village PUD should be abstracted to provide a user-friendly set of requirements concerning building heights, parking, landscape area, etc. and other such requirements contained in that document. This abstract should be added to all Guidelines. 3. Ultimately, a single set of Guidelines should be produced that cover all general topics relative to the Village with Planning -Area -specific requirements in a series of subsections. This will create a more efficient and useful document. 4. Flat roofs are allowed (page 9) for detached carport and parking structures. The Commission suggests that this latitude not be allowed in future Planning Area Guidelines and it be deleted from RMF -2 if not needed to encompass the currently planned development. REQUIREMENTS: Approval of the Guidelines requires adoption of the following: 1. The landscaping section is to be amended to add the statement, "Trees and shrubs should be chosen with a variety of sizes and of such sizes so that, relative to the mass and scale of the structure, an established appearance is achieved immediately after installation. In no case shall the sizes be less than that given in the following table." 2. Under "Siting Conditions", pg 3, paragraph reading "RMF -2 is located at the toe ...screened from view by the building forms," add a final sentence reading, "Special care should be taken on north facing garages to prevent continuing maintenance problems presented by the build-up of ice and snow at their entrances due to shedding from their roofs." 3. The "Windows," section on page 10 is to add the following, "And when divided, divisions should be vertical or square in proportion." This statement should be added as the third sentence of the paragraph. 4. The last paragraph under "Outdoor Lighting," page 11, is to be moved to become the first paragraph of the section since it is a strong statement of the philosophy of the entire section. To this relocated paragraph, add a final sentence "Only the minimum lighting as required for safety shall be permitted." This Motion was approved unanimously. If anyone has a further clarification of the Motion, please send them to Darcy with a copy to the Commissioners.

DESIGN REVIEW PROCEDURE 17 The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 Design Guidelines - Planning Area RMF -2 THE VILLAGE (at Avon) Design Guidelines - Planning Area RMF -2 I. INTRODUCTION A. Purpose of the Guidelines The purpose of this document is to establish certain design guidelines for Planning Area RMF -2 of The Village (at Avon). The Village (at Avon) PUD Guide, sets forth certain land use and development criteria which, together with The Village (at Avon) PUD Development Plan Administrative Amendment No. 1, The Village (at Avon) Annexation Agreement, Declaration of Covenants for The Village (at Avon) Commercial Areas, Declaration of Master Design Review Covenants for The Village (at Avon) and Easements with Covenants and Restrictions Affecting Land, all as amended from time to time (collectively the "Control Documents") govern the development of The Village (at Avon), (the "Village") and provide control over the use, location and bulk of buildings and structures within Planning Area RMF -2. The control documents establish the Design Review Board (the "DRB") and create authority for the development and enforcement of these design guidelines. Planning Area RMF -2 is identified on The Village (at Avon) PUD Development Plan, Administrative Amendment No. 1, dated May 2001 and is listed in the Land Use Summary as Residential/Multi-Family. Specifically, Planning Area RMF -2 is described within the PUD Guide as having the following purpose: "This district is intended to provide sites for residential development". All infrastructure construction, including roads, landscaping and lighting in the public way will be subject to these guidelines. Due to phasing of infrastructure improvements there may be interim or temporary situations where compliance with these guidelines is not practical or possible. However, all final construction will comply. The Village (at Avon) February 2002 In addition to The Village (at Avon) Design Guidelines - Planning Area RMF-2 (these "Design Guidelines") and the Control Documents there are several other documents that may affect the design and development of property within this Planning Area. It is strongly recommended that developers, architects, and property owners review these documents prior to making any development/design decisions. These documents include the Town of Avon building -codes. l 7 Contacting the DRB and the Town of Avon Department of Community o-5 Development to review and discuss these and other pertinent documents is a 1 ` prudent first step in the design/development process. B. Overall Design Theme The overall design theme for Planning Area RMF -2 of the Village is to establish an attractive appearance for visitors and residents and yet provide flexibility to allow for affordable design solutions. The intent is to incorporate elements of design found in the surrounding Avon and Beaver Creek community and create a semi -formal mountain resort palette that maintains residential scale and character. Durability and low maintenance are strong factors in the choices of both the materials and the building form. The objective of the design theme is to allow for development of affordable housing solutions while providing a high level of aesthetic design that will meet the standards of the overall vision of the Village and will complement the other planning areas of the Village. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 2 II. SITE DESIGN Site Design, as related to these Design Guidelines, refers to all aspects of the development, excluding architecture, within Planning Area RMF -2. It includes, without limitation, the relationship of building to the site and outdoor spaces, parking areas and access, pedestrian ways and sidewalks, streetscapes, signs, fencing, and lighting. A. General Design Considerations Surrounding the buildings and along the public ways, landscape plantings, walks, and public lighting shall create a pleasant, attractive and functional residential neighborhood. It is the combination of the architectural and landscape styles that will create a cohesive image to RMF -2. B. Siting Conditions The design of Swift Gulch Road and the topography of Planning Area RMF -2 dictate that multiple family residential development must be sited in a lineal composition, parallel to the topography, and along Swift Gulch Road. There are f several siting methods that may be employed to create interest within the overall Ll context of the site. Minor shifts in axis from building to building will vary view angles and provide visual interest. Additionally, a varied spatial pattern of (' building length and of distances between buildings will serve to add visual interest and variety to the property. Individual buildings should respond to the setting and terrain of the site and take advantage of the opportunity to utilize downhill walkout levels. RMF -2 is located at the toe of slope of the north side of the Eagle. Valley. Residential living spaces should be oriented to the south side of buildings to allow for solar exposure and views to the south across the valley floor. Parking areas and garages should be oriented to the north and screened from view by the building form L�jc-L-cam-( 6',"') c � t02 C' 0 4-cv j -t � qel% Convenient and functional vehi ular circulation, parking and pedestrian access from parking areas must be c fully considered and designed. A north exposure of these design elements will -quire careful consideration of climatic conditions. t Cme,01Urv& met -Pc Kit The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 3 Site Access / Parking / Loading Access to the building sites will require consideration of topography, building orientation and the layout of the public road system. Where access drives connect to public streets, drainage and landscape maintenance will be the responsibility of the property owner. Property owners are also responsible for the installation and maintenance of landscaping in public right-of-ways adjacent to their property if landscaping has not been installed and maintained by a public entity. Cross slope parking lot grades should not exceed 5%. Portions of parking lots that do not include parking stalls may exceed 5% grade as necessary to adjust for drainage or terrain considerations. Parking lot designs shall accommodate access for emergency vehicles and allow for adequate vehicle maneuvering on site. All parking lots must be designed to ensure a functional drainage plan. Drainage swales should not surface drain across major pedestrian walkways and major access points. All parking spaces shall be in compliance with off street parking regulations outlined in The Village (at Avon) PUD Guide. Ninety degree stalls are encouraged. All parking areas must be surfaced with asphalt or concrete and all parking spaces must be clearly delineated. Snow Removal and Storage All sites must be able to adequately accommodate and transport snow on site in conjunction with approved drainage easements. An area equal to 20% of the total impermeable surfaced area of the site, upon which above ground construction does not occur, shall be designated and developed as a snow storage area. Designated snow storage areas shall be located and developed to be compatible with snow removal operations, not less than six (6) feet wide, and shall be adjacent to the impermeable area from which snow is to be removed. Run-off from snow storage areas shall be directed through a detention/water quality basin for treatment of run-off from parking and driveway areas. On-site snow storage requirements may be waived by the DRB upon the demonstration that an appropriate alternative snow storage site is available and that arrangements have been made for the continuation of snow removal and off- site storage. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 4 1-2 C. Landscape / Planting ° The overall landscape design theme is to maintain a natural mountain appearance. Major landscape plantings should be designed with native materials such as aspen, cottonwood and evergreen trees, native shrubs and grasses and should be arranged in natural appearing informal groupings. Formal and urban styles of landscape design shall be avoided. Plant materials should be massed in substantial groupings located in key visual locations. Landscaping should complement a project design and integrate the structure into the surrounding terrain. Selectively located plant materials may be effective in breaking up large building masses. All landscape development, including specific landscape elements such as planters, retaining walls, and berms must be approved by the DRB. Plant material selection and placement must ensure safe sight lines to traffic and signs. Care should be taken that no hazards are created for pedestrians and vehicles through the location of landscape materials. Plants are to be installed and maintained according to sound horticultural practices. Plantings must be consistent in quality with appropriate industry standards and must be selected from a materials list approved by the DRB. All landscape areas must be served by an automatic irrigation system. Irrigation systems shall be designed to limit water consumption while zoned to allow for appropriate application of water to each type of planting area. Trees An appropriate mix of evergreen and deciduous trees of a variety of caliper sizes and heights must be used to foster an informal, natural appearance. Trees should be predominately spruce, cottonwood and aspen with other native evergreen and deciduous trees used selectively. Trees are to be selected according to the use and size of the surrounding space and located to provide a function such as screening, shade, view enframement or accent. Trees should be planted in substantial groupings in key locations. Accent tree plantings may occur on a limited scale at locations such as building entries, parcel entries or pedestrian areas. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 5 Care should be taken when selecting and locating trees so that evergreen trees don't significantly shade streets or walkways creating hazardous icing conditions. The spacing of trees within planting areas must provide adequate room for tree growth. Grasses and Shrubs Lawn areas and formal shrub beds are appropriate at key site entry points and to create specific areas for outdoor use in the summer. Large expanses of manicured lawn are not appropriate to this setting, particularly in areas with final grade in excess of 8% slope. Large expanses of landscape areas should include a varied topography with native grasses, shrubs and trees in an informal natural arrangement. Native and drought tolerant grasses and shrubs are encouraged for revegetation of disturbed areas. Ornamentals Ornamental plantings may be used to provide color and to highlight building entries. Ornamentals shall mainly consist of lower plant materials ranging in height from 1' to 3'. Landscape Materials Landscape materials shall meet or exceed the minimum standards as outlined in the Colorado Nursery Act regulations. All materials must be installed to standard specifications and maintained to ensure survival and healthy growth. All dead or damaged plant materials must be promptly replaced. Minimum sizes for plant materials shall be as follows: ■ Deciduous Trees 2" caliper B & B ■ Evergreen Trees 6height B & B ■ Shrubs 5 gallon standard container ■ Groundcover/Ornamentals - Sizes shall be selected according to growth rate and area to be located. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 6 Plant material selection and placement must ensure safe sight lines to traffic and signs. Care should be taken that no hazards are created for pedestrians and vehicles by plant litter. Mulches shall be utilized to treat areas around tree and shrub plantings as appropriate. With the exception of drip line treatments rock mulch is discouraged. Erosion control is essential at all building sites. Design plans must indicate the type, method and placement of erosion control structures on the property. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 7 III. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN The architectural design philosophy of Planning Area RMF -2 is to provide flexibility to allow development of affordable housing solutions while providing for a high level of aesthetic design. Buildings shall include quality design details and utilize elements of design that will add context and interest to the overall building size and massing. All buildings within RMF -2 are required to meet the setbacks, height limitations, density allowances, parking requirements and minimum landscaped area as defined in The Village (at Avon) PUD Guide, Residential Multi -Family. Building Materials and Colors The use of proven quality, low maintenance building materials is highly encouraged. Wood or simulated wood is a traditional building material in mountain environments and is encouraged. The limited use of stone or stucco is also encouraged but should be expressed in a manner that is consistent with the mix of materials. Stone or stucco should be used as a base material and should appear load bearing. Stone or stucco is a "heavy" material and should not be placed above a "lighter" material. The use of wood shingles as a siding material is discouraged due to high routine maintenance requirements. Sheet stock such as plywood, masonite or T-111 as a siding treatment is highly discouraged. Cedar plywood or cementitious sheet stock with applied battens may be approved. Exposed horizontal joints must be treated. A regular pattern of 4' x 8' sheets with trimmed joints is not acceptable. Wood siding or simulated wood siding products such as Hardiplank or Hardipanel may be used as a horizontal bevel, tongue and groove or ship lap or as vertical board and batten. All siding applications should include the use of corner boards that extend beyond the plane of the siding. The type and use of building materials should be consistent on all elevations of a building. Colors are to be natural or earth tones as the dominant color with brighter colors used for accent. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 8 All flues, flashing and roof equipment and other reflective materials shall be painted to match and/or appropriately contrast with adjacent materials. In some cases, physical screening may be required. Electric and other utility meters shall be attached to the main structure and screened to minimize contrast with adjacent materials. Roofs Due to climate conditions and to the general size and style considerations of residential buildings roof forms should be pitched. Flat roofs shall only be allowed on separate zcarport or parking structures. Sloped roofs may include a range of roof pitches from 4:12 to 12:12. Sloped roofs should have a minimum of 18" overhang to eave and gable ends. Sloped roofs should include dormers to break-up large expanses of roof and to add interest to the roofscape. Long unbroken ridge lines should be avoided. Sloped roofs---., should be oriented such that excessive snow and ice does not accumulate over, or drop into pedestrian walkways, parking areas or drives. Special protection may be required to protect such areas. Snow shedding is a major concern that must be carefully considered in the design of roofs. Building entries, garage and service doors shall be located out of the path of shedding snow. Gable fronts, covered porches, balconies, and snow retention devices are all acceptable methods of dealing with snow shedding off of sloped roofs. Landscape features such as retaining walls or raised planters may also be used to direct pedestrians out of the way of snow or ice shed areas. Where removal of snow from roofs is anticipated, mechanical and safety devices should be provided, as well as easy access to the roof. Architectural grade asphalt shingles are an acceptable roof material. Exposed metal flashing, gutters, downspouts or other building appurtenances must be copper, steel, iron or aluminum and be applied and fastened in a quality manner. When painted, these elements must be finished with a baked enamel paint, epoxy paint or a silicone -modified alloy. The DRB shall determine appropriate painting requirements for exposed metal materials. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 9 Exterior Walls Buildings should be designed to avoid large flat walled elevations that lack visual interest. Due to the lineal nature of the site, design elements of exterior walls, particularly in longer building forms should accentuate vertical forms and attempt to minimize long horizontal elements that would appear to "lengthen" an elevation. Building forms should not exceed 200' in length and there should not be any single uninterrupted wall plane that exceeds 50' in length. Balconies and decks create attractive, convenient outdoor living spaces and are encouraged, particularly on the southern side of buildings to take advantage of views and solar exposure. Balconies and decks should be integrated into the architecture of the building and should not appear as "tacked on" appendages. Continuous full length balconies or exterior open hallways and repetitive decks or balcony forms that accentuate the length of buildings should be avoided. Structural support columns for balconies should be of a scale and material that is appropriate to the size of the balcony. Large cantilevered balconies are discouraged. Windows .�.�.4..- d; d,,j .,1� ✓+� s s s�iull d h¢. Windows should be arrang in a logical manner that supports the interior floor plan and that maintains the integr ty of the overall architectural design. Windows should be — predominately vertical or square in proportion. No more than 3 windows should be ganged together. Ganged means windows that are attached to each other and not separated by siding or trim. ✓ Arched, circular, octagonal or triangular windows are discouraged, and if utilized, should be used sparingly. ✓ Windows set in wood or simulated wood siding shall have trim around them. ✓ Windows set in stucco should have trim or a raised stucco relief in the wall around the window. Door and Entryways Doors and entryways shall be prominent features to residential buildings. Doors and entryways must relate, in both scale and design style, to the rest of the building. Recessed or protruding entry features are encouraged. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 10 IV. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Outdoor Lighting Lighting systems serve a functional role in RMF -2. This role is to provide security and visual safety and to serve as directional indicators for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Lighting shall be provided for all parking, drive, and walkway areas. Area lighting shall be provided by metal halide, cut-off type fixtures with a maximum mounting height of 15 feet for walkways and 25 feet for parking areas. There shall be no exposed light source on a property. Pedestrian areas should utilize low-level light sources to accent or illuminate the ground plane and provide for a safe transition from parking areas to building entries. Building mounted lighting should use a cut off type sconce or opaque glass to ensure that no light source is visible. Access to a clear and visible night sky is a strong value to the community. Night lighting on a site shall be designed to minimize the undesirable effects that "over -lighting" a site can have on a community, neighbors, and guests. At the same time, lighting is necessary for safety purposes. Service Areas Service areas such as loading bays, dumpsters, compactors: storage areas and large utility equipment shall be sited to minimize visual impact and to integrate into the landscape and architectural design of the surroundings. A careful arrangement of screening walls and trees should mitigate these features. A minimum of 6' high fence or walls, with access gates and roof enclosure shall screen dumpster or compactor locations. Accessory Structures Any accessory structures on a building site shall be compatible with the design and materials of the primary building. All accessory structures must be approved by the DRB. Garages, if separate from the main building, shall match building materials, colors, detailing and style. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 11 Communications and Satellite Dish Antennae All satellite dishes and communication antennae shall be subject to DRB review and approval. The Village (at Avon) - February 2002 12 V. TECHNICAL DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Grading and Drainage The following grades should be observed: ■ Ground shall slope away from all buildings at a minimum of six inches (6") in ten feet (10'). vvv r1 ■ All planted areas should drain at a minimum of two percent (2%). Maximum slopes on planted areas should be 2:1 (grass 4:1). ■ All paved streets and driveways with curb and gutter should drain at a minimum of one-half percent (1/2%) ■ All walkways and other paving should drain at a minimum of one percent (1%). Maximum ramp grade should be eight percent (8%). Walkway slopes should be kept to a minimum to ensure pedestrian safety in the winter.�� ■ All parking bays should drain at a minimum of one-half percent (1/2%).

SIGNS The RMF -2 Planning Area is intended for residential development and the objective of the sign portion of these Design Guidelines is to provide for a sign system that complements the residential nature of the site. The intent of this sign codes is to allow for adequate recognition of individual projects and to allow for a logical system of vehicular and pedestrian wayfinding. All signs must be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board. Project Identification Signs Each individual project shall be allowed a maximum of two Project Identification signs. Each sign may include an information area of 28 square feet. This information area may display the project name and address. The maximum height shall be 8 feet above grade. The project identification sign may be set on a masonry or stone base or may be set on wood posts. Lighting, if proposed, shall be external ground mounted and focused upon the sign in such a manner as to minimize stray light projection. Project identification signs must be located outside of the public road right-of-way at each end of the project site, preferably near a vehicular or pedestrian access to the project F site. Building Identification Signs �- Each individual residential building shall be allowed a maximum of two building identification signs not to exceed 4 square feet each. These signs must be wall mounted and should be placed in a well lit area visible to local vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Non -Residential Uses Permitted non-residential uses shall be allowed one wall mounted sign not to exceed 10 square feet. Directional and Traffic Control Signs Directional and traffic control signs shall be allowed as necessary. Each individual sign shall not exceed 3 square feet in size and 6 feet in height.

The approval stated all signage for the tenants would be in the form of Pan Channel lettering in the green and tan colors of the Westgate Building. On December 6, 1994, a MSP Amendment was approved for unit 105 (previously known as Curtis's Kitchen) to allow for two signs on the top of the round parapet wall, instead of one. The applicant is now requesting another MSP Amendment to change the material of the two signs for unit 105. This approval would be specific for this tenant only and there are no other changes to the MSP. The proposed material for the new tenant's signage is black iron letters that will be backlit. The location and size of the signage conforms to the existing MSP. Attached to this report is a letter from the owners and the property management company approving the new signage and requesting an amendment to the MSP. Design Review Considerations According to the Town of Avon Sign Code, Section 15.28.070, 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 location of the proposed signage is in conformance to the existing MSP. The materials are suitable for the building. 2. The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements. The other signs at Westgate are Pan Channel and the adjacent properties have monument signs. 3. The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement. The black iron is an acceptable material.
