PZC Minutes 110779RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS MINUTES OF DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING NOVEMBER 7, 1979, 7:30 P.M. The regular meeting of the Design Review Board for the Town of Avon was held on November 7, 1979 at 7:30 P.M. in the Town Council Chambers of the Town of Avon in the Benchmark Shopping Center, Avon, Colorado. The meeting was called to order by Hugh Price, Chairman. Board Members present were: Alice Alpi, Michael Blair, Thomas Landauer, Hugh Price and Kenneth Richards. Absent were: Cynthia Jordan and John Wheeler. The C'.airman deferred the reading of the minutes until the end of the meeting in order for all members to have a chance to read them. The Chairman made two comments regarding the published agenda: 1) The agenda was rearranged so that City Market is heard first, Shapiro Construction second and Avon Lake Villas III third; 2) Benchmark - Garza was rescheduled for the December 5, 1979 meeting because according to Ordinance 78-9 (Design Review Board Procedures, Rules and Regulations) insufficient time was given for notification of land owners to legally consider their request. Item N3, City Market, Lots 67 and 68, Block 2, File No. 79-10-5. Teo Prinster represented City Market. Lots 67 and 68 have been combined into one site of a little over 5 acres - 15°' green belt area, 80% total impervious, 20% open space. There are three accesses from Beaver Creek Blvd. and 2 accesses from Beaver Creek Place - the Board stated that this will aid traffic disbursement, also the location of the site and the traffic pattern are good. The Board cautioned to be aware of traffic that will be generated traveling from Beaver Creek Place into Beaver Creek Blvd. Room for very wide lanes or turning lanes will require easement or widening of right-of-way and will encroach into a few feet on the lots under discussion and the lots on the opposite side of the street. Wide;ing the access lanes into City Market should be considered. Traffic of truck deliveries is good, the Board suggested delideries be made during non -peak traffic times. The parking lot has 210 spaces. There is a landscaping budget of $20,000 including the sprinkling system. Shrubbery used should not restrict visability of accesses, landscaping would enhance the back of the building. Dumpsters and trash compactor will be located at the back of the site, there may be a problem for trash removal from the trash compactor due to the narrow space. It was suggested that an indoor baler might be used. The signs on the grounds will be made of wood, cut-out letters, the dimensions are unknown and the lighting will probably be down -lighting. Lighting in the parking lot - before final approval is granted, City Market must specify the number of fixtures, height of the fixtures, how they are protected, the wattage and how direct or indirect the lighting is. Teo stated that he will follow the guidelines of the Design Review Board, also the lights will be mercury and will be on concrete standards three feet high. The Board would like landscaping around the light standards - Teo will resubmit this before final approval. lite vegulal 1,et Linq of Um ucsign Rcvlc',i GOucd Fuc tic TUwn Of X0nn was held on November 7, 1979 at 7:30 P.M. in the Town Council Chambers of the Town of Avon in the Benchmark Shopping Center, Avon, Colorado.

Teo stated that he will follow the guidelines of the Design Review Board, also the lights will be mercury and will be on concrete standards three feet high. The Board would like landscaping around the light standards - Teo will resubmit this before final approval. -1- The building will be 42,000 square feet, constructed of vertical rib block stained brown (the exact color to be submitted at the time of final approval), under the windows there will be plywood siding with anodized aluminum (the exact color to be submitted at the time of final approval), pre -formed metal roofing, built up roof, concrete coping with lighting at the front, trim of copper brown anodized aluminum. The sign on the building will be of cut-out metal with a plastic facing and will have back -lighting of neon. The Board suggested that the section of building to the left of the entrance is rather bland and perhaps shrubbery would lessen that effect. Method of snow removal has not beed decided on at this time - City Market will use whatever is necessary including hauling. Drainage plans around the building and in the parking lot are not definite - the Board stated that a cul- vert is required for each entryway and drainage of oil from the parking lot in some form of entrapment (screen, sand, gravel filters). Teo stated that building will start in March - May, 1980 and the store will open around five months later. There being no objections, conceptual approval was granted subject to the conditions stated above. iro Construction Company, plans for temporary cons and general or n ce, Lots 4/ - b4, BIOCK Z File No. /9-10-7. William McCoy and Ken Shapiro represented Shapiro Construction Company, the project will hereafter be referred to as Avon Center at Beaver Creek. Encompasses a 6.5 acre site to be developed in a 4 -stage process. The first phase will involve Lots 5., 53 and 54 and will begin in September, 1980. The phases will begin about one year apart and will overlap since it will take about 18 months to complete each phase. Phases will proceed north-northwest across the site to and including the site of the proposed trailer. Project will phase out in 5 - 51-2 years. Cost of the entire project will be 40 - 60 million dollars. Construction, foreman, superintendents and sub -contractor trailers will be located at each phase site. The trailer proposed in this meeting will be temporary offices for architectural, planning, construction, and management groups (these functions are now in Fallridge in Vail). It will be a 24 X 60, double -wide trailer with 1,600 - 2,000 square feet, located on the site corner of Benchmark Road and Beaver Creek Blvd. Construction will start at opposite (east) end. The trailer will not have living space for watchman or others. Marketing will be in the trailer not in terms of a real estate office but marketing management. It was requested that the trailer be erected this fall and to be there at least until the end of the first phase (2 - 2;- years) then reapply for extension of time. Sanitation - 1) water is in the street at the proposed site; 2) sewage is about 300 feet down the street at this time, perhaps a temporary septic tank would be allowed; 3) electricity is across the street at this time. There were suggestions from the Board and the floor that space could be rented from an existing building since this is essentially a business office. The Board also voiced the following concerns: 1) The area picked is the most visible of that entire site; 2) trailers on a con- struction site have been allowed for construction, not for business offices; 3) only single -wide trailers have been approved previously and have been limited to construction and field offices; 4) perhaps a trailer erected closer to the construction site, with business offices to be moved into a permanent building as soon as possible; 5) the Board will not approve a temporary septic tank when the building is located within 400 feet of a sewer line; 6) this project will be tabled until advice from the Town Attorney has been obtained. Ken Shapiro suggested that an actual permanent building be constructed on that site (not part of phase one) and the Board stated that this proposal is more amenable. and perhaps shrubbery would lessen that effect.

At that time Avon Center at Beaver Creek will also bring in preliminary plans for the entire project. Since the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Design Review Board is Wednesday November 21, 1979 - the night before Thanksgiving - Chairman Hugh Price announced that the meeting will be held instead on Tuesday November 20, 1979. Schfani & Bruehsel, Lots 45 File No. /9-1U-3 (For additional information, please review minutes of the October 3, 1979 meeting of the Design Review Board.) Joe Krabacher represented Avon Lake Villas III. The project consists of two buildings, total of 62 units, on Lots 45 (30 units) and 46 (32 units). The buildings are long and narrow, 5 stories high, situated for maximum view corridors, allowing for highlighted view planes looking from north to south toward Beaver Creek and Arrowhead. Chairman Hugh Price asked for comments from the floor. Sandy Wood, owner of Lot 42, Block 2 stated that he is satisfied with the plan for view planes, and commented favorably on the underground parking, tennis courts and pool. Steve McDonald of Timberline Properties expressed interest in the construction phases of the buildings and asked whether arragnements will be made for other property owners to use the tennis courts and pool. Joe replied that something may be worked out to that end. Pro:iles were presented which were color - coded to show views from buildings located north of Avon Lake Villas III, the profiles taken from USGS map of general direction. Chairman Hugh Price asked for questions or comments from the audience regarding the view planes and there were no comments. Building coverage to lot ratio is 21.8%. Buildings and paved area will cover about 4090 of the site area. Plans show surface parking area for 45 cars. 46 parking spaces are required and have the 78 under- ground spaces remain the same, and the plans will be corrected to this amount. Berms along the roadway will hide parking and drift the snow. Landscaping budget of $40,300 will include sprinkling system, sodded lawns, trees will be blue spruce, ash or aspen. Drainage system will drain from buildings, down the centers of the drive areas into the pool area, on contours to the park area. Snow storage will be around the tennis courts, trash storage has been moved to building entrances. Fencing around the pool will be 48 inches high wood fence, solid board, the same color as the building. A typical tennis court fence will be used around the tennis courts, green netting, cyclone fence, 8 feet high. There will be an 8 feet high construction and security fence during building phases. Exterior lighting - wattage and shading will be the same as Avon Lake Villas I. The pitch of the ramp into the underground parking garage is adequate. Heating of the ramp was suggested by the Board. There will be a drainage trench down the middle of the underground garage. The elevator will go down to the parking garage, the stairways will not. Chairman Hugh Price asked for questions from the audience and there were none. The average unit will have three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a utility room, kitchen, and a living -dining area. The average square footage will be 1,500 - 1,550, on the fifth floors up to 1,700 square feet. Only four units will be on the fifth floors. ke Villas III, Senoner, Schfani & Bruehsel, Lots 45 (For additional information, please review minutes of the October 3, 1979 meeting of the Design Review Board.)

Roof of shake shingles, exterior trim is Olympic stain 710, any metal trim will be galvanized, flat black. Pella - Anderson windows with wood interior and anodized clad exterior stained Olympic stain 710. The fireplace caps will be metal with stucco chimneys, blue caps and color of flat black. Board Member John Wheeler left notes which included serious reservations regarding the offset of the buildings. Without any, they look too much like apartment houses - an example is the original Benchmark Apartments. The north building view (seen from Lot 41 and other lots to the north) on the east building was found to be too bland by the Board. It was suggested that actual offsets might interfere with the view corridor so offsets might be effected by trim instead. Chairman Hugh Piice asked for comments from the floor concerning the appearance of that side of the east building. The Board found the proposed project largely acceptable but expressed considerable thought regarding the north end of the east building. A simple enhancement, not necessarily structural, was suggested with a change of texture, tone of color, added trim or some type of cosmetic help. Before approval will be granted, the Board directed Joe Krabacher to conduct a restudy of this end of the building. This project, in- cluding the restudy, was placed on the agenda for the November 20, 1979 meeting. It was noted for the record that one letter of comment was received concerning the Avon Lake Villas III project. Also noted was that the letter showed a lack of knowledge, the objections were baseless, and that the individual who wrote the letter was present throughout most of the meeting, was encouraged to comment and chose not to speak up. A letter was sent in reply by the Board Chairman stating these facts. A motion by Alice Alpi was made to approve the October 17, 1979 minutes as presented, seconded by Michael Blair and approved unanimously. The Robert Brownlee letter in the miscellaneous section was discussed. It was stated by the Board that his exterior lights are in need of shading and the comment was made that the type of lights used are present in other buildings in Avon and are shaded. Also stated was that the landscaping is each owner's responsibility and must be done regardless of the surrounding lots. There being no further business, a motion was made by Thomas Landauer to adjourn the meeting. It was seconded by Michael Blair and Chairman Hugh Price adjourned the meeting at 10:40 P.M.
