favorable comments. The parking has been moved out of the 10 foot paving setback. A wider
curb cut is proposed, with two surface parking spaces on the east side of the site. The buildings
are in the same location proposed for the concept plan. Landscaped area has been increased.

of the site.
• The landscaping plan needs to include the key for all proposed trees, and the trees labeled

Since the units are over 2,500 square feet, three parking spaces are required for each unit.
These spaces are provided on the eastern side of the site. If the duplexes are subdivided, an
easement will be needed to dedicate a parking space to the western unit.
�. 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 building site is small, which somewhat limits the design of the duplex. Although
essentially a mirror image, the effect is minimized by slightly different garage door designs
and roof lines. The building design includes a cedar shake roof and moss rock accents with
wooden siding to be painted gateway gray with a Zeus trim. The materials are appropriate for
the site and compatible with surrounding buildings.
The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The building is located in the front of the lot in order to preserve the neighbor's views. The
building design and materials are compatible with adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography
The site is relatively level and the single -story building is compatible with a level site.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent aLld
neighboring properties and public ways.
The paved areas are landscaped and the building design is similar to others in the area.
Although the 35 foot wide driveway is wider than is preferable, it is not out of character for
the area. The landscaping and building materials present a pleasing view from Beaver Creek
Boulevard.
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity
that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired
Though unique, the building conforms to the general development pattern of the area. It will
not have a negative monetary or aesthetic impact on property in the vicinity.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals,
Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
The duplex conforms with the residential character of the area by the Comprehensive plan,
and therefore conforms to the goal, policies, and programs for the Town.
