Introduction
The Nottingham Station PUD received final approval by Town Council on March 28, 1995. The
PUD approval includes building footprints, placement and envelopes. Final Design review is
generally based upon those elements of design approved during the PUD process, with additional
detail.
This submittal for final design approval is specifically for Lot 3, which is that portion of the
Nottingham Station PUD between Hurd Lane and the railroad right-of-way. The applicant has
submitted the appropriate site plan, elevations, landscape plan and indicated materials and colors,
and will present a scale model of the project at the April 18, 1995 meeting.
Staff Comments
The project appears to conform with the preliminary design submitted for the PUD approval
process, and in general to the Town Subarea Design Recommendations specific to Subarea 9.
Staff members have several concerns having to do with drainage, easements, placement of curb
and gutter along Hurd Lane, and the ability of emergency equipment, particularly a Fire
Department ladder truck, to effectively access the west end of the project. While these issues are
not likely to affect the overall design of the project, they should be resolved prior to final design
approval. Staff will work with the applicant to resolve these issues prior to the April 18 meeting.
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.
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.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.

Programs for the Town of Avon.
