PZC Packet 081694PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF iMPORT August 16, 1994 Lot 1, Riverside PUD 54 Unit Complex Amendment to PUD PROJECT TYPE: 54 Units ZONING: PUD AMENDMENT COMPLIES WITH ZONING? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE AMENDMENT THE PUD ON LOT 1, RIVERSIDE SUBDIVISION. Jay Harkins, of Harkins & Asso., has submitted an application on behalf of Eaglebend Affordable Housing Enterprise, to amend the Riverside PUD. Currently, the Riverside PUD has expired thereby leaving Lot 1 of Riverside Subdivision with a PUD designation and no development standards. Attached to this Staff report is the proposed PUD amendment proposal for Lot 1 of Riverside Subdivisions, which details the proposed project. STAFF COMMENTS DESIGN CRITERIA: The Zoning Code has established design criteria for evaluating a PUD. The criteria is listed below and comments pertaining to each. 1. Conformity with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, goals, and objectives Staff has identified some goals and objectives listed in the Comprehensive Plan the Commission should consider. They are: Goal Al. Ensure that all land uses are located in appropriate locations with appropriate controls. Is this an appropriate location for high density residential? Is this use appropriate for this location? Goal A3. Upon full development of the community, all land uses should work together as a balanced system. Will this land use, in this location, promote a balanced system? Goal B2. Enhance the Town's role as a principal, year round residential and commercial center in the Vail Valley. Will this project help Avon's role as a year round residential center? PLANNING A" ZONING COMMISSION STAFF IMPORT August 16, 1994 Lot 1, Riverside PUD 54 Unit Complex Amendment to PUD Goal C 1. Provide for an appropriate mix of residential dwelling unit types for both permanent residents and tourists. Does this project provide for a mix of residential types? Goal C2. Affordable housing, both rental and owner occupied, should be made available through a combination of private and public efforts. Does the project meet the objective of this goal? Goal H2. Establish the Eagle River as greenbelt corridor through the Town. Is this being achieved by the dedication of the open space along the Eagle River? 2. Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the Town, the sub- area design recommendations and design guidelines adopted by the Town. This project is in Sub -Area 10, the Riverfront District, and the standards indicated in the Comprehensive Plan are attached to this Staff report. The main recommendation this proposal is not in conformance with is to provide for public access to the river and construction of the pedestrian trail along the river. In addition, the Recreation Master Plan specifies this path in this location. 3. Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood, and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, character, and orientations. Existing land uses found in the area are as follows: North: Proposed Boulder PUD, with 150 units approved; Eaglebend Apartments, with an existing 240 units South: River Oaks Condominiums; Folson Property PUD(there is no development plan approved) West: Undeveloped Lot 2, Riverside Subdivision; Red house at comer of Avon Rd. and HWY. 6/24(commercial) East: Tract A Open Space; River Forge Duplexes and apartment complex. The overall design, scale, bulk and building height of the buildings fit with the established character found north of the Eagle River. River Oaks Condominiums, southeast of the site, has a tall character, with facades broken up architecturally. The mass of these buildings are being reduced and broken by stepping the building down on the ends and providing a break in the middle and on the ends of the building. PLANNING A1" ZONING COMMISSION STAFF kEPORT August 16, 1994 Lot 1, Riverside PUD 54 Unit Complex Amendment to PUD 4. Uses, activity, and density which provide a compatible, efficient, and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The proposed density is 21.6 units per acre, which is lower than the 32.5 units per acre at the existing Eaglebend apartments. Does the Commission feel this proposal meets the intent of the above criteria? S. Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed The proposal states there will be a construction/erosion control fence placed along the 30' setback, however, the buildings are on the 30' setback, which indicates grading taking place in the 30' setback and this may not occur. Further, with the building wall on the setback, will footings and/or overhangs encroach into the setback? 6. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural feature, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The applicant is not providing public access to the river, nor are they providing a pedestrian path along the river, however, they will be dedicating the area within the 30' stream setback to the Town of Avon. Staff is not clear what trees and vegetation will be impacted. The applicant will have the site staked for the site visit on Tuesday and Commission should consider whether or not the proposed landscape plan mitigates the taking of existing trees. 7. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation that is compatible with the Town Transportation Plan. The circulation for the site is limited by the one access point permitted by the State. 8. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural feature, recreation, views and function. Landscaping is called for in the 10' between the parking and HWY. 6/24, this area is also designated as snow storage. The Commission should focus on the 10' buffer and the landscape treatment, which can help soften the front facade of the building, which contain the garages. PLANNING A" ZONING COMMISSION STAFF MPORT August 16, 1994 Lot 1, Riverside PUD 54 Unit Complex Amendment to PUD The applicants will be dedicating the area within the 30' stream setback as open space to the Town, which will protect the natural feature along the river. 9. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. Phasing is not proposed. The project will be built at one time. 10. Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems, roads parks, and police and fire protection. The developer must provide the Town of Avon letters from the respective agencies indicating the services can be provided to the project. As a note to the developer, this project is not located in the Avon Metropolitan District. 11. That the edsting streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD. This project is accessed by HWY. 6/24 and the traffic study conducted and provided indicates the highway is suitable to carry the added traffic. SITE PLAN COMMENTS: Eagle River: The site plan has the buildings placed on the 30' setback from the mean annual high water mark. This indicates grading, site disturbance and the footings may be taking place in the setback, which is not allowed. Grading and site disturbance must be confined and kept out of the 30' setback. Building A and the parking on the west end of the site are proposed on a 35% slope. Fill will be brought in to even the slope, thereby creating a strong potential for encroachment into the 30' setback, which is not allowed. This is, also, a vegetated area, with the type of vegetation not known. The applicant will be staking the site for the visit on Tuesday. The developer must address riparian issues, which include wetlands delineation on the site plan, and checking for rapture nesting in the trees. The site plan does not reflect a pedestrian path which is specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the Recreation Master Plan. The developer must install the pedestrian path as specified in the two plans. PLANNING A" ZONING COMMISSION STAFF ld�,PORT August 16, 1994 Lot 1, Riverside PUD 54 Unit Complex Amendment to PUD Building Location: The buildings will be located 25' apart from each other. Does this provide enough of a break in the building facades facing HWY. 6/24? The proposed building locations are pushing the edges of the site. Drainage: A drainage plan has not been provided for Staff review. The drainage will be closely considered due to the proximity to the Eagle River. Site Coveraize: The proposal is for 60% site coverage, which is not defined. Staff would like to know if 60% site coverage equates to 40% landscaped area, whether it is formal or natural. Gradina: There are areas on the site plan showing finished grades exceeding the allowed 2:1 slopes. Landscape Plan: The Commission should comment on the proposed landscape plan. The plant list indicates material that does not meet the Town of Avon minimum size requirements. The minimum size requirements are 2" caliper for deciduous trees, 6' high for coniferous trees and 5 gallon for shrubs. Another question to consider is does the landscape plan mitigate removal of existing trees and vegetation? Parking: The applicant is requesting a reduction in the parking required for guest spaces. The plan shows the required amount, however, a reduction in the 10 additional guest spaces is being requested. Staff is not supportive of this request since there may be more than 2 cars per unit in the complex. The snow storage for the parking area is indicated in the 30' setback from the mean annual high water mark. Snow storage may not be located in the setback due to direct discharge into the Eagle River. An alternative location for these areas must be found. Dumpster: The two proposed dumpster location are in a 10' landscape buffer zone, but not indicated on any site plans. The dumpsters need to be shown and not located in the 25' front yard setback. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is for Commission to give serious consideration to the attached proposed PUD information and answer the questions posed by Staff in the report. Should the Commission decide to approve the proposal at this hearing, attached Resolution 94-16 must be referenced and approved. If following the public hearing, the Commission does PLANNING Aft ZONING COMMISSION STAFF ICEPORT August 16, 1994 Lot 1, Riverside PUD 54 Unit Complex Amendment to PUD not concur with the findings, Resolution 94-16 should be amended accordingly prior to adoption. 1.

MEMORANDUM Date: May 17, 1994 To: Jay Harkins From: Russell Thrasher Re: Eaglebend Phase III PUD Submittal Project No. 94076 Section 17.20.110.H.10 - Adequacy of Public Services: 1.) Sewer - An eighteen inch sewer main runs along the south side of Highway 6 & 24 in the vicinity of the project. It should be adequate for the flows generated by this project. 2.) Water - A twelve inch water main runs along the north side of Highway 6 & 24 in the vicinity of the project. Water lines can be looped through the apartments to provide adequate water pressure and fire flows. 3.) Schools - Based out experience at Eaglebend Apartments we anticipate the following: Preschool - 9 children School Age - 9 children with 6 relocating from within the school district 4.) Transportation system - The apartments would be on an existing bus route. 5.) Roads - The Town of Avon Transportation Plan as prepared by Felsburg Holt & Ullevig projected 70 units and 25,000 S.F. of commercial development on this site. With only 59 units proposed by the developer the existing roads and proposed improvements as per the transportation plan should be adequate. 6.) Parks - The site is located adjacent to Tract A which is open space and is within walking distance at Nottingham Park. 7.) Police - Based on our experience at Eaglebend, we project that the apartments will generate an additional 33 calls per year to the police department for thefts, domestic disputes and parking violations.

MEMORANDUM Date: May 17, 1994 To: Jay Harkins From: Russell Thrasher Re: Eaglebend III PUD Submittal Project No. 94076 Section 17.20.110.H.11 - Adequacy of existing streets and roads to carry the anticipated traffic: CRITERIA: The following references were used in preparing this memo: 1.) Town of Avon Transportation Plan prepared by Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, dated December 1991 and Peak Hour Turning Movements for March 1993. 2.) Highway Capacity Manual Special Report 209 prepared by the Transportation Research Board, dated 1985. 3.) Trip Generation 5th Edition prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, dated 1991. APARTMENT TRAFFIC GENERATION: From Reference No. 3: 1.) 59 apartments will generate 388 trips per day. 2.) During the AM peak (7-9 AM) there will be 28 trips per hour with 6 entering and 22 exiting. 3.) During the PM peak (4-6 PM) there will be 34 trips per hour with 23 entering and 11 exiting. The greatest potential for conflict with existing traffic will be apartment generated traffic exiting onto Highway 6 & 24. Thus only the AM peak is considered in the attached analysis. Box No. 978 • Avon, Colorado 81620 • 949-5072 Denver 893-1531 1420 Vance Street • Lakewood, Colorado 80215 • Phone: 232-0158 Jay Harkins - Memo Page No. 2 Date.: May 17, 1994 IMPACT ON HIGHWAY 6 & 24 TRAFFIC: The following assumptions were made for the attached analysis: 1.) Eaglebend III traffic will be equally divided with regard to the direction it is exiting to or entering from Highway 6 & 24. 2.) Traffic on Highway 6 & 24 was derived from Reference No. 1, specifically the March 1993 traffic counts. Results of the analysis indicate the following: 1.) Left and right hand turns out of the apartments will experience average traffic delays. 2.) Left hand turns from Highway 6 & 24 into the apartments will experience short traffic delays. CONCLUSIONS: The development of 59 apartments on this site will not significantly effect traffic on Highway 6 & 24. Actual movements out of the apartments will be better than indicated. The analysis method used assumes that gaps in conflicting traffic flows are randomly distributed, by in actuality, the traffic signal at Avon Road and Highway 6 & 24 will effectively platoon Highway 6 & 24 traffic creating larger gaps for movements out of the apartments.

Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. Phasing is not proposed. The project will be built at one time. 10. Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems, roads parks, and police and fire protection. The developer must provide the Town of Avon letters from the respective agencies indicating the services can be provided to the project. As a note to the developer, this project is not located in the Avon Metropolitan District. 11. That the existing streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD. This project is accessed by HWY. 6/24 and the traffic study conducted and provided indicates the highway is suitable to carry the added traffic. SITE PLAN COMMENTS: EaWe River: The site plan has the buildings placed on the 30' setback from the mean annual high water mark. This indicates grading, site disturbance and the footings may be taking place in the setback, which is not allowed. Grading and site disturbance must be confined and kept out of the 30' setback. Building A and the parking on the west end of the site are proposed on a 35% slope. Fill will be brought in to even the slope, thereby creating a strong potential for encroachment into the 30' setback, which is not allowed. This is, also, a vegetated area, with the type of vegetation not known. The applicant will be staking the site for the visit on Tuesday. The developer must address riparian issues, which include wetlands delineation on the site plan, and checking for rapture nesting in the trees. The site plan does not reflect a pedestrian path which is specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the Recreation Master Plan. The developer must install the pedestrian path as specified in the two plans. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT August 16, 1994 Lot 1, Riverside PUD 54 Unit Complex Amendment to PUD Goal C 1. Provide for an appropriate mix of residential dwelling unit types for both permanent residents and tourists. Does this project provide for a mix of residential types? Goal C2. Affordable housing, both rental and owner occupied, should be made available through a combination of private and public efforts. Does the project meet the objective of this goal? Goal H2. Establish the Eagle River as greenbelt corridor through the Town. Is this being achieved by the dedication of the open space along the Eagle River? 2. Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the Town, the sub- area design recommendations and design guidelines adopted by the Town. This project is in Sub -Area 10, the Riverfront District, and the standards indicated in the Comprehensive Plan are attached to this Staff report. The main recommendation this proposal is not in conformance with is to provide for public access to the river and construction of the pedestrian trail along the river. In addition, the Recreation Master Plan specifies this path in this location. 3. Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood, and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, character, and orientations. Existing land uses found in the area are as follows: North: Proposed Boulder PUD, with 150 units approved; Eaglebend Apartments, with an existing 240 units South: River Oaks Condominiums; Folson Property PUD(there is no development plan approved) West: Undeveloped Lot 2, Riverside Subdivision; Red house at corner of Avon Rd. and HWY. 6/24(commercial) East: Tract A Open Space; River Forge Duplexes and apartment complex. The overall design, scale, bulk and building height of the buildings fit with the established character found north of the Eagle River. River Oaks Condominiums, southeast of the site, has a tall character, with facades broken up architecturally. The mass of these buildings are being reduced and broken by stepping the building down on the ends and providing a break in the middle and on the ends of the building.

There is to be a 10' landscape buffer between the parking and Highway 6 ROW. 2. The number of trees is to be no less then that shown on the attached Landscape plan. 3. The 30' setback area along the River be protected. during construction and any disturbed areas be reseeded with native grasses in this area as will as along the south, east and west edges of all site disturbed construction. 4. As described on the attached landscape plan the edges of the buildings are to be a "no" water zone and entries are to be sodded and irrigated. Open Space: The 30' setback from the Eagle River be dedicated open space the length of the project. A playground area is to be developed between buildings B and C. Parking: The parking requirements will be consistent with Title 17, Avon Zoning Code. Calculation shows there is a need for a total of 124 places of which we propose 30 (25%) be garages. 1. Three-bedroom units 24 x 2.5 = 60 Two-bedroom units 18 x 2.0 = 36 One -bedroom units 12 x 1.5 =_ 18 Sub total 54 units = 114 Visitors = 10 Totals 124 2. Garages are to be assigned spaces. 3. We would propose enhancement the screening of the Highway and buildings that there be consideration for the reduction of visitor parking to 4 cars or a total of 118 cars required. Phasing: The project is to be built at one time. Eaglebend III July 18, 1994 Page 3 We laid out the site incorporating the following: 1. The river is the "best" amenity to the site. 2. The maximum solar orientation is south. 3. Our desire to minimize disturbance to the river corridor. The buildings have been placed, east -west along the grade break between the River and mainly on the flatter area of the site. This will give the maximum number of units orientation to the river; provide good solar orientation for units not on the river7 and locate buildings away from Hiqhwav 6. The parkinq is placed between the structures and Highway 6 to mitigate (by distance) sound and movement disturbances to residents by Highway traffic and to create the minimum vehicular penetration into the site. A landscaped buffer of 10' has been placed between the parking stalls and Highway 6 to mitigate possible visual impacts on vehicles passing the site. Supplementary landscaping is proposed along the river, between buildings and at the ends of the buildings and parking lots to soften edges and provide screening. We would not propose any construction or development within the 30' setback along the river because we feel that the bank is steep and any disturbance in the area would destroy riparian growth and change the character of the river corridor. Site Access: The site is to be accessed from Highway 6 approximately in the center of the existing flat area of the site or about 175 feet east of the existing guardrail at the west end of the site. We have discussed with CDOT, the possibility of developing more then one entrance into the site and were told this was not feasible. This is due to available distance (length) of the property along Highway 6 and existing grade changes to the site. The entry proposed is to be a split driveway with one-way lanes into and out of the site. The entry driveways are to be asphalt and the curbed divider and outside edges of the driveways, landscaped. All driveway slopes and radii will be per CDOT and Town of Avon Code for vehicular and emergency access. The maximum distance from the entry drive to an end of the buildings will not be more then 290'.

The portion of the Riverside Subdivision to be considered in this application is "Lot 1". It is the intent of the Anplicant to develop this project as a third phase to the existing Eaglebend Project located to the northeast and across the river. ZONING SUMMARY The Riverside Subdivision (approved on February 28th, 1889) included approximately 9.2711 acres designated as a Specially Planned. Area including Lot 1, Lot 2, and Tract A (an open snace dedication to the Town of Avon). Lot 1 is presently owned by the Kriz family and under contract to Jeff Spanel and Art Kleinstein. The applicant does not own or hold interest in Lot 2 or Tract A. Lot 1 is a 2.5 acres site within the Specially Planned Area designation with an approved use for an Accommodation density of 150 units, in addition to commercial space. Our proposal represents both a density and use down -zoning from the high density/traffic Accommodations zoning to Multi -Family zoning. The project will have 54 rental apartments and related support facilities (parking, garages, managers office, laundry and storage). The gross square footage of the proposed project is approximately 53,000 SF.
