Staff Report Overview
This staff report contains one application for consideration by the PZC:
SGN17004: Sign Program Amendment for Avon Plaza. This application seeks approval
for a new Sign Program that allows greater flexibility in color choice, design, and
materials.
Summary
Chad Wilkison (the Applicant) is presenting a Sign Program Amendment proposal for the Avon
Plaza that has been updated since the June 6, 2017 PZC meeting. During the last meeting, the PZC
expressed interest in a modified application that:
Was more encompassing of the entire site, including the second floor
Had fewer typos
Included provisions for temporary signs
Explored the feasibility of “gooseneck” exterior lighting
Eliminated the addition of a tenant sign for unit B-106A
Since that time, the application addressed the first three interests, and did not fundamentally change
direction for the last two. For these points, the applicant and HOA representatives presented an
email statement (Exhibit D) reaffirming their commitment to interior lit cabinets and the inclusion
of a new tenant sign. The new sign application is included as Exhibit A (text) and B (elevation
exhibits). The original Sign Program is included as Exhibit C.
Amended Sign Program
As before, the amended Sign Program generally maintains the same size and location of signs
from the original Sign Program. This includes one tenant sign for every location, and larger
allotments for spaces with more floor area. The original program required tenants to have green
pan channel letters, and sign lettering entirely contained within the designated background area.
The new program provides cabinets for tenant signs at the same square footage of the designated
background area. It allows more “breaking” of the allotted background, but stipulates that the
square footage for each sign will be the same (see Exhibit B, page 9 for an example). Also, the
new program allows the fonts and colors to be at the discretion of the tenant, subject to HOA
approval. These rules now evenly apply to the first and second floor.
The email statement from Chris Neuswanger lists a few reasons for the continued inclusion of the
back-lit signs.
Difficulty of snow removal in the winter with the extended lights.
Interest in maintaining reasonable harmony as the new plan signs replace the old plan
signs.
The continued inclusion of back-lit signs is supported by staff to preserve harmony during the
transition.

Avon Plaza, Lot 24 Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Page | 2
The new Program continues to propose an additional sign to unit B-106A on the rear of the
building, roughly facing City Market, seen in Exhibit B, page 1. The sign is proposed to be a
maximum of 25 s.f. Reasons stated for including this addition are:
The walkway connecting ANB Bank with this property already is an attractive pedestrian
corridor for many users, and the added sign would enhance this while not overwhelming
the Bank with new trespassers. The HOA president has stated that a conversation with an
ANB representative did not result in any immediate rejection of the notion.
The tree in front of the unit prohibits adequate visibility of the currently approved sign.
The unit already has window frontage on this side, and a sign would naturally fit.
PZC should carefully weigh if this inclusion is merited, given the position on the building with no
direct street frontage. If the PZC choses to incorporate a new sign into the sign program, perhaps a
sign geared to pedestrians and not automobiles is more appropriate in this location.
Review Criteria
According to the AMC, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following items in
reviewing proposed designs:
a. Sign programs shall be compatible with the site and building, and should provide for a similarity
of types, sizes, styles and materials for signs within a project. Several alternatives for signage
should be included in the program so as not to be so restrictive as to eliminate individuality.
b. Sign programs may be proposed or changed only by the owners of the building or the owners'
association. Sign program changes or proposals may not be made by an individual business.
c. Proposed signs, not in accordance with an approved sign program, will only be considered by
the Planning and Zoning Commission upon receipt of written evidence that the proposed sign is
acceptable to the owners of the building or the owners' association.
d. All sign programs shall be in written and plan form. Plans shall indicate size, location, type and
number of signs for the site and buildings.
e. Programs may include limitations on wording, colors, design, lighting, materials and other
restrictions, and deemed appropriate by the applicant.
Staff Response:
The Sign Program is cleaned up, compatible with the site and building, and provides for
more alternative design ty pes than the original Program. The Program provides
flexibility and harmony between tenants and during implementation. Page 10 of
Exhibit B shows a good demonstration of what the two programs might look like
during the transition. The written and plan form of the Program meet the Sign Code standards.
Recommended Motion:
“I move to Approve Case #SGN17004, a Sign Program Amendment application with the findings
as recommended by staff.”
Finding:
The Application was reviewed in conformance with Section 15.28, Sign Code, and found to
be in conformance with the design review criteria outlined in Section 15.28.070, Avon
Municipal Code.

Subject:Avon Plaza signage plan modification response
Date:Thursday, June 08, 2017 4:20:56 PM
David & Matt
The Avon Plaza Condo Association thanks the staff and the DRB for giving our request due
consideration and the option of modifying it to more meet their perception of what appropriate
changes would entail.
However, after consideration of the DRB suggestions posed, the Association would like to point out
our serious concerns in complying with said proposed changes.
1. Putting Gooseneck lighting on the front parapet (the wall where the signs are) would be
completely inappropriate for two reasons. First, portions of the building have steep metal
roofs that drop snow and ice down and need to be cleaned a couple of times a year for safety
reasons (protecting pedestrians and cars in the lot below). Doing so is a major operation
costing several thousand dollars involving as many as a dozen men, a front end loader and a
dump truck. The most economical way we have found to do it is to avalanche parts of the
roof over the overhang (we put plywood up to create a chute) and block off portions of the
lot and make a controlled avalanche into the lot. Currently, we can easily clear the existing
signs but a goose neck lamp sticking out would be demolished. Occasionally in spite of our
extensive snow management efforts a section will rip loose on its own and we have lost 2 car
windshields and one car hood over the years.
·
2. The 1st stated goal of the sign code is
·
a) Harmonious with Town scale. Sign location, configuration, design, materials and colors should
be harmonious with the existing signs on the structure
As all are aware, there are 7 other businesses in Avon Plaza that have the green back lit channel
letters. Many of these signs could easily be there for 20-years, and one is only about 18-mo old and
cost over $6,000.00
To make any new signs going forward be front lit is going to cause a hodge podge of back lit and front
lit signs, which we deem to be anything but harmonious in appearance to our building or the area.
While the proposed requirements would differ from the green channel lit at least they would all be
back lit and we could (and likely would) ask individual owners incorporate some shade of green
accent somewhere in all new ones to give it somewhat of a tied together look.
It is my understanding that the DRB wishes to study moving to codify prohibiting back lit signage
completely in the future. That is certainly their prerogative to pursue, but I would note that it has not
happened yet, and further the DRB apparently was fine in approving extensive backlit signage for ANB
Bank and the Medical Center in recent months.
In addition, the DRB should carefully consider the implications that the imposition of such a requirement
will cause future mix and match disjointed appearances on buildings currently using back lit signs (Chapel
Square, West Gate, the SSF Center complex, ANB, City Market, and the Medical Center to name a few)
and it is hard to understand how that would be a harmonious change.
Also Per our discussions with Sign Design representing our MSP there has been past discussions on
the terms , interior-lit box-type plastic, in PZ meetings in past but they always referenced, and
discouraged, square box acrylic faced signs like the ones on Mountain Center along Nottingham Rd,
(although these were deemed acceptable as they only faced I-70) while the metal routed face
application like the example with joe’s liquor Westgate bldg. was deemed “outside” this reference
as plastic portion is replaced with metal face. We have allowed and not limited the tenants to custom
shapes etc. vs. a continuous box style application. The combination of these two elements we feel
takes our proposal out of the term “interior-lit box-type plastic”
As to the new sign for B106a, that unit is currently under contract for sale contingent upon getting the
additional signage approved. That unit has had numerous lookers over the last several years it has been on
the market and in my role as President of the HOA have met with several potential buyers all of whom
have noted the limited visibility of the unit as a detriment. The front of the unit is covered by a large crab
apple tree, which even if severely pruned would impede visibility form the street of the signage on the front
of the unit. As we all know, the TOA does not advocate cutting down trees either (and everyone likes that
tree, it’s a beauty).
As to concerns about creating additional foot traffic across the ANB lot, isn’t it a stated goal of the Avon
Govt. to make Avon more pedestrian friendly? That sidewalk was added because that is where everyone
was walking and it was a muddy mess. Pedestrians will go where its easiest. There is a large amount of
foot traffic from the Plaza, and the Christy Lodge as a shortcut to the Bank and City Market and Chapel
Square. It’s a long established pedestrian path.
To pose it would create a parking issue for ANB is at best highly subjective and in our view, unlikely. ANB
can certainly post “NO Avon Plaza Parking” or something similar and there are adequate town codes to
enforce any issues that may arise. Surely most people coming out of City Market can figure out that is the
back of a shopping mall and find their way to the front of the building.
Also, a bit of history here: the sidewalk between the Plaza and the ANB lot was built as a joint project by
both owners as we felt it would be mutually beneficial to both circulate foot traffic and solve a muddy boot
problem for both, and ANB has contributed to the maintenance of the sidewalk. That was about 20-years
before Avon decided to become “pedestrian friendly” I spoke with Chris Rowberry, who is the local Bank
President, and while he could not speak formally for the ANB Bank, stated he had no personal objection to
the placement of a sign there.
Lastly, in regards to the concerns of the DRB that the original 1996 signage plan contained in-
consistencies and typos, I would remind all that we are not here to do a whole new sign plan which
would cost the HOA at a minimum hundreds of dollars, nor should we be expected to. The Town of
Avon accepted the plan in 1996; we are simply amending a couple of provisions. The format which
we have presented is I believe the appropriate format (i.e. noting that certain sections be deleted
and new verbiage substituted.
Chad Wilkerson (of Chronic Tacos) and myself will be at the June 20th meeting. We look forward to
continuing this conversation with the staff and DRB.

To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: David McWilliams, Town Planner
Meeting Date: May 16, 2017
Agenda Topic: Work Session – SevenTen Project / 710 Nottingham Road
Introduction
Representatives from the SevenTen project will be in attendance for a work session concerning the
SevenTen apartment project on Lot 30 Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. This meeting follows an
initial work session with PZC that took place in July, 2015. The purpose of Tuesday’s work session is to
provide the Planning and Zoning Commission with a presentation on the progression of the project ,
and elicit feedback about the mitigating potential issues with the project. Design modifications,
including the addition of three units for a total of 15 units, have taken place since the initial review by
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Staff encourages the PZC to come prepared with questions and comments on the attached
development plan drawings. The applicant is seeking direction on the revised plans, as well as
providing the Planning and Zoning Commission with the opportunity to review the applications prior
to a public hearing. We urge the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider what additional
submittal items (if any) would be of assistance to fully review the application at the upcoming hearing.
The project timeline, below, would be required to zone and approve the design of the project. Table
7.20-5 is also included for reference to what the typical dimensions found in Residential High Density
are. The PUD overlay would then be necessary to achieve overall town land use goals and increase the
allowed density from the zoning requirement.

Re: Seventen Lofts
Lot 30, Block 1
Benchmark @ Beaver Creek
Amendment No. 4
Avon, Colorado
Date: July 1, 2015
Development History Lot 30
Lot 30 was first proposed to Town of Avon Community Development staff in late 2001 as a
4,685 sq.ft. commercial carwash with an additional 4 dwelling units of 1,380 sq, ft. each. The
project was approved for construction...but property Owner allowed the permit to expire. The
permit was re-newed a second time..and again was not executed, resulting in the Town of
Avon effectively denying the project as a commercial carwash.
In conjunction with this approval...the Town of Avon executed Resolution No. 02-08
approving a temporary easement for Lot 30. This easement area was for the purpose of
temporary construction access, slope contouring, and grading and slope maintenance,
including grade, fill, drain, pave, build, and construct retaining walls. This resolution was
adopted by the Town Council of Avon on February 26, 2002.
The site has had no further development exploration or activity until now.
Property Description
Lot 30 is a 0.5367 acre parcel located @ 0710 Nottingham Road. It is abutted by Lot 31 (Pet
Store) to the west and Town of Avon "Tract B" to the north and east. Topography on the site
has a vertical fall from north to south of approximately 25 to 30 feet. Vegetation is sparse,
with no significant trees or water features.
Property Access
The proposed development would share the ingress/egress easement currently utilized by Lot
31. Additional and proposed one way vehicular egress would occur @ the southeast corner of
the property and discharge onto Nottingham Road.
Current Zoning
Existing Town of Avon zoning designation is "Light Industrial Commercial (IC)" as described
in table 7.20-13 of the town of Avon Development code.
Proposed Zoning
JMP Architects, Inc. is proposing a rezoning classification of "Residential High Density (RH)"
that would replace the current IC zoning. The RH zoning allows for a maximum density of
20 units per acre. JMP Architects is requesting 12 units for the entire property (0.5367 acres)
Given the current and trending housing shortage the Town of Avon and valley municipalities
are experiencing, plus proximity to pedestrian/bicycle paths, Town of Avon bus routes, and
Town core;....JMP Architects, Inc. believes the RH zoning classification has merits of
satisfying pressing community needs and goals more favorably than IC zoning.
Additional vehicular demand on Nottingham Road would not be compounded due to RH
zoning, as compared to IC zoning, and arguably would reduce traffic volume during mid
morning to mid afternoon hours. Assuming that peak trips from Lot 30 would be generated
from the hours of 7am to 9am......and 4pm to 6pm. Proximity to town pedestrian/bicycle
paths would also assist in reducing traffic volumes along Nottingham Road, as compared to
IC zoning "destination" arrivals and departures by automobile at all hours of the day.
Proposed "Seventen Lofts" Project Description
The proposed Seventen lofts would contain a "mix" of (6) 2 BR units @ the mid level of
approx. 1,152 square feet and (6)
2 BR units at the upper level of approx. 1,392 square feet. Upper units would have access to
privatized roof top decks with commanding views of Beaver Creek and Arrowhead ski areas.
All units would have private garages at the lower or street level capable of stacking two
vehicles. Access to mid and upper units would be achieved by 3 stair bays. Exit discharge at
the rear or north of the project would traverse east and west along a protected and paved route
until merging onto the downslope at the east and west end of the property.
Seventen lofts also employs solar energy collection at the rooftop through standard photo
voltaic panels, and accommodates those with disabilities with a designated ADA compliant
unit. The ADA unit occurs at the east end of the project at mid-level and is serviced by a
'limited use limited accessibility" elevator or "LULA" lift. Associated ADA parking
is achieved with one space at the east end of surface parking.
Facade articulation is achieved through the use of external balconies and varying vertical
planes. Grade level garage access is protected by building projections and balconies. JMP
Architects is requesting that Town of Avon planning staff consider the use of vibrant colors
on the facade in keeping with the spirit of "freeway architecture" and compliment the modern
nature of the proposed design.
Snow storage/collection areas occur at the east, center, and west ends of the surface parking
area along Nottingham Road. A landscape noise buffer and possible berm is proposed for the
entire frontage along Nottingham Road.
The project will utilize a internal fire sprinkler system and comply with all Town of Avon fire
department and International Building Code regulations regarding life safety.

June 20, 2017 PZC Work Session Lot 39 Block 1 Wildridge
PAGE 1 OF 2
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: David McWilliams, Town Planner
Meeting Date: June 20, 2017
Agenda Topic: Work Session – Greer Garage Project AEC
Introduction
Amy Greer will be in attendance for a work session concerning the Minor Development Plan (MNR)
and Alternative Equivalent Compliance (AEC) applications for a garage project on Lot 39 Block 1,
Wildridge, 2137 Long Spur. The purpose of Tuesday’s work session is to provide the Planning and
Zoning Commission with an overview of the project, and elicit feedback about the AEC criteria of the
project.
While the garage itself falls under the MNR review process, its location in front of the main house
precludes staff approval due to its conflict with the code section below. Section 7.28.090(i)(2) of the
Avon Municipal Code (AMC) states:
Single-Family and Duplex Residence Garages:
(i) Front-loading (street-oriented) garage doors shall either recess behind the front façade of
the dwelling portion of the structure or a front porch or recess beneath a second floor bay.
(ii) Side-loaded garages shall provide windows or other architectural details that are
consistent with or complement the features of the living portion of the dwelling on the
side of the garage facing the street.
(iii) The use of alley or side-loaded garages or the use of a combination of these garage
orientations is required where feasible.
Further, the addition is proposed without roof overhangs. The garage abuts the party wall line and it
appears an overhang would extend over to the other duplex unit’s property. AMC section
7.28.090(c)(4)(ii), states:
(ii) Overhangs are required on pitched roofs and shall extend at least one and one-half (1.5) feet
from the point where the wall meets the roof as horizontally measured from the exterior
wall of the structure.
These conflict triggers the AEC process, whereby the applicant is required to demonstrate consistency
with the intent of AMC through her proposed alternative. The criteria for the decision are listed
below:
(1) The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the subject design or development standard to the
same or better degree than the subject standard;
(2) The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan to the
same or better degree than the subject standard;
(3) The proposed alternative results in benefits to the community that are equivalent to or better than
compliance with the subject standard; and
June 20, 2017 PZC Work Session Lot 39 Block 1 Wildridge
PAGE 2 OF 2
(4) The proposed alternative imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur
through compliance with the specific requirements of this Title.
Staff has concerns with various aspects of the project, including:
Car turning movements associated with the proposed addition
Snow storage abutting the southern neighbor’s property, and potentially blocking turning
movements
Site drainage
Landscaping replacement to the additional paved area
The applicant is soliciting feedback before the July 18 PZC meeting so the hearing is more predictable
in a month. Staff encourages the PZC to come prepared with questions and comments on the
attached development plan drawings and narrative.

Planning and Zoning Committee Members,
This letter is to directly address the 4 criteria required in the Alternative Equivalent Compliance
Process. The 4 criteria are as follows (responses are in bold):
(1) The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the subject design or development standard to
the same or better degree than the subject standard;
The design works within the pre existing constraints of the property line and the design
suits the site to a better degree than the development standard. In this circumstance it is
not possible due to the layout of the lot to have a side facing, or ally entry garage.
(2) The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan to
the same or better degree than the subject standard;
The proposed design is in compliance with the goals and policies of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan. The Wildridge subdivision is identified as a low priority district in
the Avon Comprehensive plan. The structure will be harmonious with the existing
structure. Any landscaping improvements will be harmonious with the existing trees,
shrubs and natural landscape.
(3) The proposed alternative results in benefits to the community that are equivalent to or better
than compliance with the subject standard; and
The proposed alternative design benefits the community in an equivalent manner to
compliance. The proposed addition improves the current condition of the property by
repairing the driveway and creating a more appealing and up to date looking property.
(4) The proposed alternative imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur
through compliance with the specific requirements of this Title.
June 15, 2017
Greer Residence Addition
The proposed design does not impose upon adjacent properties any more than a
compliant design. In fact, in not building living space above the proposed garage, the
design imposes less upon adjacent properties.
Sincerely,
Amy and Brandon Greer
Work Session – Landscape Code
June 20, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Summary
The Avon Town Council 2017-18 Strategic Plan highlights the Landscape code, chapter 7.28.050 of the
AMC, for an update. Specifically, the Strategic Plan, Tier 1 Priority, states:
Amend the Town’s landscape code to more effectively replace vegetation which has been
removed
With the expertise of the UERWA, develop outdoor landscape guidelines/regulations to reduce
water use and off-site impacts, such as fertilizer run-off, which can affect the Eagle River
Assess the Town's public tree stock in the park and in right-of-ways for timely replacement
Proactively ensure trees on public and private property do not host and spread viruses; remove
dead trees with a well-developed landscape program
The purpose of this work session is to review the progress that staff has made in achieving these
objectives. A strikethrough of chapter 7.28.050 Landscaping Code, chapter 8.36Noxious weed Removal,
and supporting documents structured to guide applicants represent the best effort of staff to represent
the various issues and talking points brought up during the last PZC meeting. The meeting’s task will be
to determine which regulations it recommends to Town Council.
Staff has continually received new information, particularly relevant to “fire-wise” landscaping, that is
not included in this not included in this work session. Also, water budgeting may be explored, as a next
step for staff to implement. Any other pieces that are missing should be brought to staff’s attention to
ensure a complete update that represents best practices and adherence to the strategic plan.

approved by the Director prior to start of any land disturbing activities. Failure to
have protection measures inspected prior to the commencement of construction
is a violation of this Development Code.
Page 7
(2) Allowed Plant Materials. Proposed materials must be specified on development plans. A list of
permissible plant species that are compatible with various climate zones found in the Town and
that promote water conservation shall be adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission and
may be amended from time to time. Materials not on the list may be approved if the Director
determines that they are equally or more suitable for local soil conditions, climate and water
conservation goals and would provide the same or bett er level of visual benefits and have
desire growth habits. No noxious weeds, as defined by Chapter 8.36, are permitted for use in
the Town.
(3) Noxious Vegetation and diseased trees. The identification and removal of noxious, non -native,
or diseased vegetation is required and shall be in compliance with Chapter 8.36.
(4) Irrigation and Landscape Plan Required and Watering Requirements:
(i) All required landscaping shall be irrigated pursuant to Table 7.28 -6, Minimum Landscaped
Area and Maximum Irrigated Area by Zoning District. The landscaping irrigation site plan

maintenance and intended uses. All landscape planting plans must note and delineate all
irrigated planting and sod areas.
Irrigation system requirements shall include the following items:
(a) Backflow prevention devices to protect the potable water supply from contamination by the
irrigation system and comply with local plumbing codes;
(b) Manual shut-off valves (such as a gate valve, ball valve, or butterfly valve), as close as
possible to the point of connection of the water supply and to isolate sections of mainline on
larger systems, to minimize water loss in case of an emergency (such as a main line break) or
routine repair;
(c) Master shut-off valves integrated with the automatic irrigation controller on all projects with
a point of connection flow rate exceeding _XX_ gpm except irrigation systems that make use of
technologies that allow for the control of sprinklers that are individually pressurized;
(d) Dedicated landscape water meters, defined as either a dedicated water service meter or
private sub meter, for all non-residential irrigated landscapes of sq. ft. and residential irrigated
landscapes of 4,000 sq. ft. or greater. A landscape water meter may be either:
(1) a customer service meter dedicated to landscape use provided by the local water
provider;
(2) a privately owned meter or sub meter to measure irrigation water usage;
(e) Flow meters that detect and report high flow conditions created by s ystem damage or
malfunction for non-residential development;
(f) Smart irrigation controllers labeled by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense
Program or with published reports posted on the Smart Water Application Technologies website.

Town of Avon Guidelines for Tree Removal
This document is intended to serve as a template for approval of tree removal in the event that
the 2:1 replacement protocol, as outlined in the Avon Municipal Code Chapter 7.28.050(h)(iv) is
not feasible.
Acceptable reasons for infeasibility include limited area for the number of trees required, risk of
disease due to overcrowding, high fire danger, proximity to structures, or potential
encroachments into easements.
If a property is found to qualify under these circumstances or others determined by the
Community Development Director, the applicant is expected to replace any given tree on the
property with the equivalent or higher Landscape Unit rate for the tree’s retention, as defined in
Table 7.28-7. For example, a deciduous tree with a 4-8 inch caliper is worth 14 Landscaping
Units, and could be replaced by twelve (12) 5 gallon shrubs, worth 1.2 Landscaping Units each.

The Plant Water Use Category (VL = Very Low, L = Low; M = Medium; H = High) represents predicted
evapotanspiration of the plant. Plants with similar water uses should be selected from the plant list
provided in the “Green Industry Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the Conservation and Protection
of Water Resources in Colorado: Moving Toward Sustainability” Appendix E, Third Release, May 2008.
Species with similar water use should be grouped together, creating hydrozones where water
application can be uniform.
GreenCO’s Appendix E plant list categorizes plant water needs for various regions of Colorado based on
elevation, including the East Slope (<6,500 ft), West Slope (6,500 to 8,500 ft), and Mountain Areas
(>8,500 ft). Accordingly, Avon is located in the “West Slope” category. Relevant pages from the

WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE WORKSHEET
This worksheet is completed by the project applicant and is a required element of the Landscape and
Irrigation Documentation Package.
SECTION A. GALLONS OF WATER NEEDED BY PLANT CATEGORY AND IRRIGATION TYPE
The specific irrigation water needs of each hydrozone in the design should be determined using the
following formula and factors:
Irrigation Water Budget = [(ETo × Plant Factor) – Re] × Irrigated Area ÷ Irrigation Efficiency × 0.623
Where:
ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration = 27.4 inches/season (May through September)
Re = Effective Precipitation = 6.8 inches/season (May through September)
Irrigated Area = hydrozone area in square feet
Water Use Plant Irrigation Default
Category Factor Method Efficiency
Cool-Season Turf 0.90 Overhead 75%

Medium 0.65
Low 0.40
Very Low 0.25
SECTION B. HYDROZONE INFORMATION TABLE AND WATER BUDGET CALCULATION

Staff Report –Minor Development Plan
June 20, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Report date June 16, 2017
Project file Case #MNR17021
Legal description Lot 7, Western Sage Subdivision
Address 5771 Wildridge Road East
Zoning PUD
Prepared By David McWilliams, Town Planer
Summary
Buz Reynolds, (the Applicant) developer of 5771 Wildridge Road East, seeks approval of a
landscaping layout that differs from the one approved during the development application. The
Final Design was approved in 2008, and received a series of extensions during the economic
downturn. During the last extension, the following conditions were placed on the application
including:
o An improved Landscape Plan must be approved by PZC to address the landscaping
below the lowest set of retaining walls.
o The PZC must re review and approve the lowest retaining wall.
On August 18, 2015, PZC approved a landscape plan (Attachment A), and took action to approve a
modified concrete block wall design “with dark color”, as presented below:
The Property has been developed with an alternative landscaping layout as evidenced in attached
photographs, thereby forming the basis for this current application. During a final Certificate of
Occupancy (CO) inspection request with the Planning Department, Staff was notified that the
retaining wall stain could not be achieved.
Staff is satisfied with the number of plantings (34 plantings) on the Property corresponding to the
number in the approved landscape plan (Exhibit A), but is hesitant to grant the CO without the
June 20, 2017 Planning and Zoning Meeting
MNR17021
2
approved landscaping near the retaining walls. The majority of the large plantings have been
focused between the structure and the Wildridge Road Right of Way.
As mentioned, the large block retaining walls were not stained as approved. The Applicant has
stated that despite his best efforts, the blocks are not able to retain the stain that he has applied
to them, due to the fine particulate nature of the block surface. That is, after application, the
stain is washing off due to the sprinkler system.
Request
The applicant is requesting the approval of the installed landscaping as sufficient for the purposes
of attaining a CO on the property. According to Avon Development Code, approval of the
requested modifications can be processed as a Minor Development Plan. Specifically, Section
7.16.080(b)(2), considers the following changes eligible for review as a Minor Development Plan:
(iv) Landscape modifications, including but not limited to removal of existing vegetation
and addition of new vegetation.
(ix) Modifications to approved development plans which do not change the character of
the approved design; and
(x) Other similar changes to a structure or property that do not significantly impact the site
layout or design of the building.
Relevant Code Sections
7.28.050 Landscaping
(5) Revegetation Required:
(i) All disturbed areas must be adequately reseeded and restored on all projects. A
revegetation bond, satisfactory to the Director, must be furnished as a condition of
certificate of occupancy and shall remain in full force and effect until the landscaping
plan is completed, vegetation is sufficiently established and structural best
management practices (BMPs), such as silt fence and straw bales, are removed from the
site.
6) Guarantee of Installation. Required landscape improvements shall be installed prior to issuance
of a certificate of occupancy for all structures. If weather conditions prevent installation, the
property owner shall post a financial guarantee for the improvements. The guarantee shall be
released upon completion and acceptance of the installation of the landscape improvements.
7.28.070 Retaining Walls
(4) The design of retaining walls shall be constructed of materials compatible with the site and
materials of the structures on the site. Retaining walls and cribbing should utilize natural materials,
such as boulders, cut rocks, stone-veneer or textured, color-tinted concrete. Timbers and railroad
ties are prohibited as retaining wall materials. Where two (2) alternatively designed retaining walls
meet, a cohesive transition between walls must be demonstrated.
Staff Response
While staff is supportive of the project overall, the modifications to the landscape plan go against
June 20, 2017 Planning and Zoning Meeting
MNR17021
3
the specific elements requested by the PZC and Town Council in prior approvals. Changes to the
retaining wall design have left an element that is not compatible with the site. This requires, at a
minimum, some sort of landscaping below the wall to help it blend in with the surroundings and
the materials of the principle structure on the Property.
Recommended Motions and Findings:
“I move to Approve Case #MNR17021, an application for revised landscaping and retraining wall
design for Lot 7, Western Sage Subdivision, with the findings of fact and conditions as recommended
by staff.”
Recommended Findings
1. The application is eligible for review as a Minor Development Plan as outlined in the June 16,
2017 staff report.
2. Conditional approval is necessary in order to ensure compliance with the applicable design
standards.
Recommended Condition
1. A revised landscape plan shall be submitted for staff review and approval not later than July
demonstrating additional landscape improvements below the retaining walls.
