Steve Stafford represented Slifer Management Company. This company manages the
Benchmark Plaza Building and the Avon Town Square Commercial Condominium

Square Condo Association are also against the variance due to the critical parking
shortage in the area.

the Condominium Association. He commented on the present congested parking situation
and the allowance of this variance would only make the situation worse.

Condos of the Avon Center as the property manager. He also feel the variance would
cause more parking problems.

FINIAL DESIGN REVIEWS/MODIFICATION
Lot 12, Filing 1 Eaglebend Subdivision Above Garage Addition
Mary Holden stated the applicant has returned at the request of the Commission with the
west elevations concerning the wall that would face onto the west half of the duplex and
windows were placed on this elevation at request of the Commission. At the December
20, 1994 P&Z Meeting he submitted plans for a 480 square foot addition to the east unit
of the duplex. It would be constructed over the existing garage.
The applicant Brian Judge was present and the owner, Roger Wilkinson. At the request of
the Commission windows were placed on the west elevation. Brian reminded the
Commission that their would possibly be development on to the west half of the duplex
and the roof line was designed to accommodate future expansion. The owner was against
placing windows on the west elevation due to cost and privacy.
The Commission expressed making their decision based upon the application standing
alone, therefore, not as if any future development would take place.
Buz Reynolds moved to deny Lot 12, Filing 1, Eaglebend Subdivision, Above Garage
Addition. Seconded by Rhoda Schneiderman. Sue Railton nay. Motion carries.
Lot 14/15, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Vail -Avon Commercial
Park Site, Building Modifications.
Mary Holden stated the applicant is requesting approval for the following modifications to
the site:
1. revising the north retaining wall location, the north driveway turning radius, the
north driveway grades, and the north driveway entrance grade at Metcalf Road;
2. revising the exterior material as Durastone;
I addition of the doors and windows on the east elevation at the north and south
ends of the building;
4. revised stair locations on the east side and north and south ends of the building;
5. guardrails;
6. retaining wall treatment.
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission take the action stated in the staff
report.
Mark Donaldson and Richard Harney were present representing the applicant. Mark gave
an overview of the proposal of the exterior finishes. The lower portions of the building
and the elevator tower revised to Durastone rather than the approved stucco and the
stucco for the retaining wall treatments. Reason being it is to cold to stucco and the
owners feels it will require less maintenance. The metal guardrailing would be the darker
of the two colors. Pedestrian guardrails in the south area rather than highway guardrails.
The Lot 14/15, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Vail -Avon Commercial
Park Site and Building Modifications. (Con.'t)
Stairways at the north and south side would be for emergency egress only for the self
