Wildridge Road The application is for final design approval of three townhome units housing a total of 10 units. The site is a very steep lot (approximately 50 percent) and is bounded on three sides by a switchback of Wildwood Road. Access is proposed from the lower south end of the site. The proposed units will feature a combination of stucco and wood siding with stone and rough sawn cedar accents. An asphalt roof is proposed. The four-plex is proposed to have Olive Branch siding and the tri-plex units will have Colony Blue siding. 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: The multi -family units proposed conforms with the allowed residential use. • Density: The proposed ten units conform with this lot's ten dwelling unit designation. • Lot Coverage: The proposed building coverage is twelve percent when the lot size is adjusted to subtract the 30,000 square feet exceeding a 40 percent slope. This conforms with the 50% maximum. • Setbacks: No proposed encroachments. • Easements: A boulder retaining wall is shown in the 10' Slope Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement. The Town Engineer did not express any concerns with this design. • Building Height: The largest scaled height of 35' on the elevations conform 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.

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 units have a combination of stucco and painted wood cedar siding, natural moss rock trim, rough sawn cedar trim and an asphalt shingle roof. The materials are used in other structures in the neighborhood and should be compatible with the site. In staff's opinion the color themes are not compatible. The blue is a cool color and the olive green is a warm color. This color scheme may not be harmonious between the structures. Staff suggests that using either cool or warm colors provide a more compatible color scheme. Staff also suggests that the stone trim end in an even line rather than the tapered look shown. 3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. The building design includes varied architectural features including the fenestration, roof lines and building materials and should be compatible with neighboring properties. 4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography. The project has been designed to work with the slopes. The upper buildings step up the slope and the lower buildings step down the slopes. Given the very steep nature of this site, staff feels the design is compatible with the topography. 5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. The site has been landscaped to soften the long driveway areas. The site and buildings should be attractive from the roadside and adjacent properties. 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 project has a unique design that should enhance rather than deter monetary and aesthetic values. 7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. The project is in general conformance with adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. The project is in conformance with the steep slope guidelines. The buildings have been designed to take advantage of this very steep site. Only minimal use of retaining walls and moderate grading is required for the design.
