PUD -Single family home
This application is for a remodel of the Finley Residence to add three additional bedrooms, a den,
and upgrade the home. The remodel includes exterior as well as interior modifications. The
exterior modifications include adding new sandstone trim and stucco siding. It also modifies the
roof line by adding a gabled roofline over the garage, changing the garage doors to arched doors,
and adding an overhang in the front entrance of the home. The modification also includes
changes to the fenestration including new windows and front doors.
New colors are proposed including a white stucco on the front of the garage and chimney, a
white birch stain, and a russet cedar trim.
The interior modifications include adding three additional bedrooms and a den. This will make
the existing five bedroom home an eight bedroom home with a den and a loft. They are also
adding two additional bathrooms and remodeling the kitchen.
According to the applicant's consultant, the home is used as a vacation home and they are adding
the additional rooms to accommodate their family and guests.

new stained cedar add visual interest to the home. The fenestration and roof line changes are
more interesting than the existing structure.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The exterior improvements upgrade the home and improve compatibility with the
neighborhood. Staff has one concern regarding the expansion of the home. The remodel
significantly increases the number of bedrooms and potential sleeping areas in the home.
The home will now have eight bedrooms, a den and a loft. This could accommodate a large
number of people who could potentially disturb neighbors due to the additional traffic and
noise. Staff is concerned that adequate overflow parking will be available.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The site is level, and the addition does not require any new grading.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
The appearance of the home will be enhanced from adjacent properties and streets. The only
concern staff has is whether there will be a large number of cars parked in the driveway.
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
The property will not have any negative impacts on monetary values.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
The remodel is not in conflict with any adopted Goals, Policies and Programs of the Town of
Avon.
Staff Recommendation

1. Two grasscrete parking spaces be added to accommodate any overflow parking.
