Staff Report
October 17, 1995 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Date October 9,1995
Project Type Duplex
Legal Description Lot 19, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning PUD
Introduction
The project is a duplex building on Lot 19, Block 2, Wildridge. The building is proposed on a
steep, southwest facing lot. The units will be two stories, with one story featuring a walk out. The
building materials are Wolmanized 8 inch lap siding and an asphalt shingle roof. The colors will
be a tan with forest green, brown and maroon accents. The landscape concept is to preserve the
natural landscaping and to minimize as much site disturbance as possible.
The conceptual review was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on June
20,1995. The Planning and Zoning Commission suggested that more landscaping be
added, and comments were made about the long, uninterrupted roof line. Additional
pinion trees and junipers were added.
Design Review Considerations/Staff Comments
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.
The building meets all setbacks, and maintains easements free of encroachments. The building
is 32 feet tall at the highest point and conforms to the maximum 35 foot building height. The
driveway meets the maximum grade requirements, and is less than three percent from the edge
of pavement to the property line and less than five percent for the remainder of the driveway.
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 masonite siding is to be painted in earthtone colors which helps the building to blend in
with the surrounding landscape.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent
properties.
The building features a large expanse of pavement that parallels the road. The west elevation
is rather plain with a long expanse of building facing the road and a long, relatively
uninterrupted roofline. (102 feet in length).

4. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent
and neighboring properties and public ways.
A long driveway parallels the road. The view from the road is of a long building and roof line.
The west building elevation is rather plain .
S. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the
vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
The building is compatible with surrounding buildings and is not anticipated to have any
monetary impact.
6. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted
Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
The duplex residence is in conformance with the designation of the lot for duplex use and is in
conformance with the Town of Avon Goals, Policies, and Programs.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval with conditions that the plans be modified (prior to application for
building permit) to reflect the following
1. That additional landscaping between the road and the home, between the two units, and in
front of the units be provided to break up the expanse of the building. The landscaping should
be a mix of deciduous and coniferous to provide more visual interest.
2. The proposed grading and retaining wall in the snow storage and slope maintenance easement
does not appear to be necessary; staff recommends the the rock wall be deleted from the site
plan to maintain the existing slope.
3. List specific paint colors (by manufacturer and number) and materials on the elevations.
4. Note on the site plan that lighting shall not cause off site glare and lighting fixtures shall be
approved by staff.
