Report date August 28, 1998
Project type Residential Duplex
Legal description Lot 42, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning Wildridge Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 2 units
Address 2111 Long Spur (Slick-Scharpf Duplex)
Introduction
The project is a 4,696 square foot contemporary western custom duplex, with the east unit
measuring 2230 square feet and the west unit measuring 2466 square feet. The exterior materials
consist of Spanish white stucco, forest green clad windows, canyon brown decking and fascia,
and vertical log accents. The roofing is a hickory 40 -year Elk Prestique. The landscaping will
consist of native Colorado trees, shrubs and plantings.
The site is on the corner of Saddleridge Loop and Long Spur, and thus possesses a double front
yard setback. It is essentially flat.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 4. 10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning
Code.
• Allowed use: Conforms with the allowed residential use.
• Density: Duplex use conforms with this lot's two dwelling unit designation.
• Lot Coverage: The proposed 29% of building coverage conforms with the 50%
maximum.
• Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
• Easements: No proposed encroachments; proposed grading in the 10' Slope Maintenance
and Snow Storage Easement is acceptable.
• Building Height: The largest determined height of 32.8 feet main ridge conforms with the
35' maximum limit.
• Grading: All proposed slope grades conform with the maximum of 2:1 slope guideline
and the proposed driveway grades conform with Town standards.
• Parking: The two garage and the two surface parking spaces for each unit exceed the
required four total spaces.

• Snow Storage: Submitted plans show snow storage area equal to the minimum standard
of 20% of the proposed impermeable surface area.
• Landscaping: Submitted landscape plan appears suitable.
2. The conformance with other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon.
3. The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed.
4. The design of site grading and drainage to minimize impacts to adjacent sites, rights-of-way
and easements.
Staff is concerned that drainage on the project's north side is being directed to the
neighboring property rather than being carried within the drainage easement to the Long Spur
ditch. Moving the driveway away from the northern property line and creating a drainage
swale should mitigate this concern.
5. The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to minimize site
disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or other
significant alteration of existing topography.
6. The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways, with respect to architectural style, massing, height, orientation to
street, quality of materials, and colors.
Staff is concerned with the project's lack of consistent architectural theme; large, boxy
massing; large, monolithic wall planes; and inconsistent scale of fenestration.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
Staff believes the project would be incompatible with other residences within the
subdivision.
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
Staff Recommendation
Due to concerns with the project's architecture, massing, and scale relative to Design Review
Considerations # 6 and #7, staff recommends that the Commission deny the project's final
design.
Recommended Motion
"I move to deny the proposed design of a residential duplex for Lot 41, Block 1, Wildridge
Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated August 18, 1998 based upon the
following findings:
The project fails to conform to Design Review Consideration # 6,.due to its lack of a consistent
architectural theme, large, boxy massing; large, monolithic wall planes; and inconsistent scale of
fenestration.
The project fails to conform to Design Review Consideration #7, due to its architectural
incompatibility with other residences in the subdivision.
