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: Single-family use conforms with this lot's two (2) dwelling unit designation.
• Fifty percent maximum lot coverage: The proposed 4.8% of building coverage conforms
with this guideline.
• Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
• Easements: No proposed encroachments and proposed grading in the 10' Slope
Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement is acceptable.
• 35' building height maximum: The largest scaled height of 34.5' on the east elevation
conforms with this limit.
• Parking: The two (2) garage and the two (2) surface parking spaces conform with the
required three (3) spaces.

• Landscaping: Appears suitable, however, two issues exist:
1) potential conflict exists with the location of the proposed trees along the east side of
the parking area the most likely location for snow storage.
2) Plant key on sheet L-1 should list minimum calipur of Quaking Aspen as 2".
With clarification and minor modification to both the designated snow storage area the
landscape plan, the project appears to generally 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 following comprise the proposed materials and their corresponding colors (please refer to
sheet A-5):
Element Material Color
• Siding (ground level) Stucco Light Colored
• Siding (upper two Cedar Clapboard (unknown)
levels)
• Fascia Cedar Brown Stain
• Soffits (unknown) (unknown)
• Trim Spruce Log Posts & Timbers (unknown)
• Shutters Spruce (unknown)
• Chimney Cap Copper Copper
• Roof Cedar (unknown)
The proposed cedar shingled roof does not comply with the Commission's general
recommendation for roofing material. A composite material with a greater expected product
performance should be selected. The proposed exterior light fixtures (fixtures "A" on sheet A-
5 and corresponding cut sheet) could produce off-site glare or light trespass. Fixtures that
would mitigate such concerns should be selected. Otherwise, with further clarification of the
above colors and materials, all proposed materials and colors appear suitable.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The proposed project should not present any significant site impacts to adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The proposed project appears compatible to the site's topography.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
The architectural style and general massing of the proposed project appear compatible with
other existing structures in the vicinity and with the Wildridge Subdivision in general.
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 proposed project is not so similar or dissimilar to other existing structures in the vicinity
that either monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
