Report date May 15, 1998
Project type Residential Duplex
Legal description Lot 14, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision — MVM Duplex
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 2 units
Address 5692 East Wildridge Road
Introduction
The proposed duplex presents a contemporary mountain architecture. Materials include light
brown stucco, beige stucco window trim, brown fascia, and green roof shingles. Each unit
measures approximately 3,300 square feet.
The site has a slight cross slope from the north down to the south with an average grade of
approximately 19% across the building envelope.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 4.10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning
Code.
• Setbacks: No proposed encroachments, though care will be required during constriction
to ensure the southern unit's deck stays out of the side yard setback.
• Easements: No proposed encroachments and proposed grading in the 10' Slope
Maintenance and Snow Storage Easement is acceptable.
• Building Height: The largest scaled height of 32' of the southern units main ridge
conforms with the 35' maximum limit.
• Grading: Staff has a number of minor comments regarding the project's proposed
grading and drainage plan. Staff believes correcting these items can be done without
significantly changing the proposed design.
2. The conformance with other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon.
3. The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed.
4. The design of site grading and drainage to minimize impacts to adjacent sites, rights-of-way
and easements.
5. The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to minimize site
disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or other
significant alteration of existing topography.

6. The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways, with respect to architectural style, massing, height, orientation to
street, quality of materials, and colors.
Staff believes that the north unit's east elevation does not present the same level of
architectural detailing and scale found on the rest of the structure. The untreated roof gable
and small portion of flat roof along with the tightly stacked windows causes the elevation to
appear taller and out of scale.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired.
The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
Staff Recommendation
Based upon the project's general conformance with the above design considerations, staff
recommends approval with conditions.
Recommended Motion
"I move to approve the final design for the residential duplex on Lot 14, Block 4, Wildridge
Subdivision as depicted on the application and plan set dated May 12, 1998, with the following
conditions:
1. That the north units east elevations be revised to lessen its apparent height and
provide architectural detailing that is more compatible with the overall structure.
2. That the underside of all decks be stained.
3. That a stone veneer base be added to the south unit's deck support columns.
4. That all of staff's grading and drainage concerns be addressed at the time of building
permit submittal."
