Re: Lot 33, Block 2, WildridDuplex Approval Extension
On June 18, 1998, this project received final design approval with conditions. The applicant has
applied for a one-year extension of this approval per Section 9.10 of the Planning & Zoning
Commission's Rules, Procedures and Regulations.
Attached for your review is the staff report of June. 13, 1998, with the approved conditions of
approval. Staff still maintains our first recommended condition of approval regarding the
driveway alignment. If the Commission believes this condition should be meet, the applicant
should be directed to submit a new application for design modification.

3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The duplex will be located well within all building setbacks. Coupled with its relatively low
height, solar and view corridors of neighboring properties should not be affected. Overall, this
proposed design should not pose any unnecessary impacts to adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The site slopes upward to the north at roughly 20%. The duplex runs parallel with the slope
and the foundation steps up the hillside. As mentioned above, staff recommends that the
radius of the driveway be increased to improve accessibility and lessen the amount of
encroachment into the 10' Slope Maintenance, Drainage and Snow Storage Easement.
Overall, this project appears generally compatible with the site's topography and conforms
with the Town's Steep Slope Guidelines.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
As a result of the southwestern design, this duplex has a very linear mass that extends across
the majority of the site's front yard. The two units are slightly ofd set, providing some relief
from the appearance of one continuous mass. The applicant has added stucco flue caps to
mitigate the starkness of the metal flue caps. Overall, the proposed duplex should present a
compatible appearance 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.
This proposed southwestern duplex is similar in style and mass to other residences in the
Wildridge Subdivision. Its architecture provides many interesting surface planes and depth
changes. Staff believes this project's compatibility and quality of design should not negatively
affect either the monetary or aesthetic values of other properties in the vicinity.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
This proposed duplex generally conforms 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 Review Considerations,
staff recommends approval with conditions, as described in the following recommended motion:
1. Prior to application for building permit, the driveway be redesigned to accommodate greater
accessibility and lessen the amount of encroachment into the 10' Slope Maintenance, Drainage
and Snow Storage Easement.
2. The Landscape Legend be amended to state that all Narrowleaf Cottonwood Trees will be a
minimum of 2" in caliper.
3. All flues, flashing and galvanized metal will be painted to match surrounding materials.
4. All utility meters will be placed upon the building.
5. Automatic irrigation system will be installed.
