Report date May 1, 1998
Project type Site Plan Modification
Legal description Lot 80, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision — The Enclave

Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 2 units
Address 5711 East Wildridge Road
Introduction
This duplex residence received Final Design approval on October 7, 1997 and is currently under
construction. During the project's excavation the developer decided to move the structure
approximately 10 feet further down the hill to accommodate larger than anticipated foundation
footings, and subsequently avoid undermining the existing driveway. Town Staff was not
informed of this modification until the project's Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) was
received. Staff issued a Stop Work order until we completes a review of the new site plan and the
Planning & Zoning Commission grants its approval.
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.
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.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary
or aesthetic values will be impaired.
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.

Lot 80, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision; Site Plan Modification
May 5, 1998, Planning & Zoning meeting
Staff Comments
Initial staff review indicates that modification enhances certain project elements. The driveway
in front of each garage is now less steep, on-site maneuvering room has increased and the
landscape island between the two garages has increased. Additionally, locating the structure
down the hill reduces the structure's silhouette and perceived height. The modification increased
the area of site disturbance. Staff recommends that the increased disturbance areas be stabilized
and re -vegetated with mature sage and other indigenous plants of a type and density reflective of
natural vegetation area.
Staff Recommendation
Based upon initial review of the site plan modification, it appears the site plan modification
conforms to the Design Review Guidelines. Staff recommends approval of the site plan
modification with the conditions.
Recommended Motion
"I move to approve the site plan modification for Lot 80, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision as
depicted on the application and site plan dated May 1, 1998 subject to the following conditions:
1. Final staff review and approval is required.
2. The areas of disturbance below the structure be stabilized and re -vegetated with mature sage
and other indigenous plants of a type density reflective natural vegetation in the area."
