Residential Duplex
Lot 26, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision
Residential Duplex (PUD)
2710 Old Trail Road
The duplex is a contemporary mountain style, featuring stucco siding with timber and stone trim,
and a composition shingle roof. An elevated deck over open ground attaches the two units.
The 29,621 square foot lot is located at the northwest corner of Bear Trap and Old Trail Roads.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6. 10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project.
Staff comments are included in this section only when the design does not appear to conform to
Town regulations, or where more information may be helpful
1. Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
• Building Height: Proposed: 33'6". 35 feet maximum allowed.
• Grading: Grading Plan needs to show details of proposed grading on East Side of
driveway. Also, as drawn, grading in driveway will drain into the east duplex unit.
• Landscaping: there are some larger existing shrubs on the site that the plan states will be
transplanted. Staff supports the applicant's efforts to retain existing vegetation. The
neighbor to the west has landscaped a portion of the western property. If the neighbor
does not remove this encroachment, it should be retained, as it is an attractive planting
area.
2. The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials including materials
of which it is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The attachment of the units with the elevated deck results in the building covering a larger
portion of the site than a more conventionally attached duplex.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.

7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
