Introduction
February 28, 1997
Residential Duplex
Lot 55, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision - Red & White
Duplex
Planned Unit Development (PUD)
2281 Old Trail Road
This proposed duplex features a contemporary design with wood siding. Each dwelling unit is
approximately 1600 square feet, has a two car garage and exterior wood decks.
The site is located on the southeast corner of Saddleridge Loop and Old Trail Road. A 100 foot
Electric Easement limits development on a significant portion of the site's frontage. The slope of
the site underneath the building footprint is nearly 20%.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6. 10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
• Allowed use: Conforms with the allowed residential use.
• Density: Duplex use conforms with this lot's two dwelling unit designation.
• Lot Coverage: The proposed 13% of building coverage conforms with the 50%
fiiY .riii' ifrw
• Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
• Easements: No proposed encroachments and proposed grading in the 10' Slope
Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement is acceptable.
• Building Height: The largest scaled height of 32.5' of the west unit's garage 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 (4) garage and the two (4) surface parking spaces conform with the
required three (4) 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 materials appears suitable.
The project design appears to conform with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations
of the Town.
2. The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be
constructed and the site upon which it is to be located.
The proposed materials appear to all be high quality, durable and low maintenance as
encouraged by the Planning & Zoning Commission's Design Guidelines. All proposed colors
are either natural or earthtone (please refer to sheet 4 of the plan set). Exterior light fixtures
have not been presented by the applicant, and thus will require review at a latter time.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
Due to this project's proposed location on the site and its low height, both the solar and view
corridors of neighboring properties should not be unnecessarily impacted. No setback
encroachments are proposed. The design, therefore, appears to minimize any site impacts to
adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The building site for this project is just at a 20% slope, and thus does not require extensive
stepping of the foundation. The structure's main axis is aligned generally with the fall of the
site's topography. As a result, the design should result in a project that is generally
compatible with the site's topography.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
The structure's massing seems compatible and appropriate for both the site and the
neighborhood.
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
This proposed structure presents a scale and massing similar to many other projects found in
the Wildridge Subdivision, and should not therefore adversely affect either the monetary or
aesthetic values of other projects in the vicinity.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
This proposed residential duplex generally conforms with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
Staff Recommendation
Based upon this project's general conformance with the above Design Review Considerations,

submitted for staff review.
