This decision is made in accordance with the Avon Development Code §7.16.110:
DECISION: Approved with the following findings:
Findings:
1. The application complies with the review criteria set forth in AMC Sections
7.16.110(c) and the required findings in Section 7.16.110(d) as described below;
2. The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district;
3. Granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity;
4. The variance is warranted because the strict, literal interpretation and enforcement
of the roof maximization regulation would result in practical difficulty inconsistent
with the objectives of the Development Code;
5. The ground mounted panel location will be down a steep slope and minimally
visually impactful to the community;
6. The project scope of net neutral energy usage is the maximum practical solar array
to permit without roof maximization;
7. Use of solar on the existing structure could be detrimental on existing mature
vegetation; and
8. The property is adjacent to publicly owned open space.
THESE FIND NGS OF FACT AND RECORD OF DECISION ARE HEREBY APPROVED:
