Introduction
September 13, 1996
Duplex -Mont -Gray Duplex
Lot 54, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision
PUD -2 units
2490 Saddle Ridge Loop
This proposed alpine -style duplex is a creme colored stucco building with natural timber accents
and a brown asphalt shingle roof. The two units, 2,100 square feet and 1,500 square feet
respectively, are attached by a porch structure.
The .662 acre lot is a north facing site with slopes of about 30 percent. The site slopes up from
the road. This lot also has a large access easement in the northwest corner to provide access to
the adjacent Lot 53. The driveway design accommodates future access. The front driveway
would be extended to the west to connect with Lot 53.
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 2 unit dwelling unit designation.
• Lot Coverage: The proposed 10.6% of building coverage conforms with the 50%
maximum.
• Setbacks: No proposed encroachments.
• Easements: No proposed encroachments.
• Building Height: The largest scaled height of 30' on the north elevation conforms with the
35' maximum limit.
• Grading: The slope between the driveway exceeds a 1:1 slope and therefore does not
conform to the 2:1 maximum disturbed slope. The grading plan will need to be amended
in the vicinity of the driveway to bring the slope into conformance with Town standards.
All other slopes conform to the 2:1 maximum. The Town Engineer also notes concerns

with drainage not being diverted away from the center of the structure. Please see the
Town Engineer's comments which are attached.
• Parking: The four garage and the four surface parking spaces exceed the required four
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 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 the table below and Sheet 4 of the plan set).

1. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The grading is contained within the property boundaries. The home is landscaped to screen
the plainer elevations and the building features a staggered building facade. The building's
features should be compatible with the adjacent properties.
2. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The site has steep slopes exceeding 30 percent. A moderate amount of grading is necessary
to accommodate this building design on the site. The Town Engineer comments that a
building design that is more parallel to the slope would minimize the grading
3. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
The building will not negatively impact adjacent properties or neighbors. The north
elevation has been re -designed to provide a more balanced fenestration. Please see the
revised north elevation included in your packet on an 81/2" X 11" sheet.
4. 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 has been re -designed since the concept review to a design that is compatible
with the level of details of other buildings in the neighborhood. The building will not impair
the monetary or aesthetic values of the neighborhood.

5. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.

building is more balanced and the design has improved.
