Introduction
August 15, 1995
Single Family Residential
Lot 71, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
PUD
The site is a west facing 3.46 acre lot, with slopes ranging from 36 to 44 percent. The lot is
shaped long and narrow. The project is a 2,736 square foot single family home with a walk out
second floor. Building materials include stucco siding with wood accents and asphalt/fiberglass
shingles.
Staff Comments
1. The house works with the grade of the site and presents a low profile to the street. The
driveway grades meet the 4 percent and 10 percent maximum slope requirements and the site
grades are within the 2:1 maximum for slopes.
2. The building height is a maximum of 25 feet and therefore meets the 35 foot maximum height.
3. The landscape plan needs to indicate that an irrigation system will be provided. The proposed
plant materials are appropriate for the site and the climate. A total of 10 trees are proposed.
The landscape plan needs to be revised to indicate a minimum six foot planting size for the
spruce trees.
4. The site conforms to all building setbacks and maintains all easements including the snow
storage and road maintenance easement free and clear of all obstructions.
5. The boulder wall in the east side of the site is four feet in height and acceptable within the 25
foot front setback.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6.10, the Commission

5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval with several conditions:
1. The landscape plan be revised to indicate an irrigation system will be provided and the spruce
trees will meet the six foot minimum planting sizes.
2. Show driveway culvert on the final plan.
3. That the curbcut be moved further south to minimize the cut and fill necessary to achieve
driveway grades.
