Minor Project Staff Report
May 5, 1998 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date May 1, 1998
Project type Site Plan Modification
Legal description Lot 7, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision — Kahn Duplex
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 2 units
Introduction
This duplex residence received Final Design approval on April 1, 1997, and is nearing the end of
its construction. The applicant is requesting a site plan modification to create benched areas
behind both units and an additional parallel parking space along the driveway. The number of
aspen and evergreen trees has been increased from 16 to 31, though there are no longer any trees
proposed on the south side of the duplex.
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.
Staff Comments
During construction a significant amount of fill was imported to the site to create the requested
berms and an additional parking area. Staff has worked diligently with the applicant to help
devise a site plan that lessens the site impacts created by the imported fill. Staff now believes the
proposed site plan modification generally conforms to the above Design Review Considerations.

May 5, 1998 Planning & Zoning meeting
Staff recommends that the area of disturbance below the berms be stabilized and re -vegetated
with mature sage and other indigenous plants to reflect the type and density of the area's natural
vegetation. Staff also recommends that three aspen clumps be added immediately south of the
structure to soften the structure's southern elevation.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposed site plan modification with conditions.
