The minimum unit size will be 1,500 square feet and each unit will have a masonry fire- place. The building was slightly moved so that drainage is now across a driveway rather than over landscaping, the major area of parking area drains down the east side in a deep, narrow ditch with a gravel bed which spreads out at the end, partially on their adjacent lot and dis- sipates before the road. The dumpsters have been moved west of the original site. There is a basement under Unit B, wood windows will be used - Pella or equal. Siding will be pine, fir or hemlock and the pattern is unknown, the colors will be Olympic Russet for the trim, Olympic 718 for the siding and the stucco will match that on the other Avon Lake Villas. Landscaping budget is the same, the Board recommends a majority of cottonwood or maple trees and a minority of aspen be used - the exact amount is unknown at this time. The building is now eight feet shorter for more relief on the east side, the logo will be studied further.

Materials - plywood painted white, smooth and not glossy, the structure is a frame off of two six inch poles sunk in the ground four to five feet in concrete, no lighting.

The Chairman asked for input from the audience and there was none. The Board stated the condition that the existence of the sign be a limit of two years, as long as it is maintained in good visual order. There being no objections, approval was granted with that condition. At this time, the proposed planning consultant was dis- cussed. There were more than 30 replies, the Town Council, Design Review Board and representatives from Avon Center at Beaver Creek reviewed the proposals during the past week. The list was narrowed down to RSWA, Denver; Gage, Boulder; and URS, Denver. URS was named as the final choice, and the reason given was "sufficient inhouse expertise with similar projects".

The Board stated that it is a drainage way and a pedestrian way, the character of which is not clearly defined. The Board stated that the size and scope of this project indicates the same need for a planning consultant as Avon Center at Beaver Creek, they would like asthetic harmony -2- with Avon Center at Beaver Creek and other adjacent Town Center lots, the project will probably take 18 months to complete, there will be a time lag of more than a few weeks in reference to the planning consultant. It was suggested that factors concerning health, life and safety can be planned out before asthetic qualities are planned. This project was tabled for the time being.

Pre- sently the purchase contract calls for a closing date of February 15, 1980, but we are presently negotiating an extension of that closing date to April 1, 1980. We would appreciate any assistance that you can give us in the form of conditional approvals upon final transfer of the land on April 1, 1980. The Heritage Company, signed Richard Rossmiller, Sole General Partner." Don requested a vacation of interior lot lines, not a zoning change. The vacation is not to combine units into one large building, there will be a number of buildings scattered around the site, it will be for positioning build- ings and parking; requested approval conditioned on pur- chase of property.

Approval was not granted, and it was re- commended that the structural engineer discuss alternatives with the Building Administrator. Other business - Don Teal stated that Sunridge at Avon Phase II will eliminate their tennis courts and give the Town $30,000 for the Recreation Department, if so desired.

Dick Evans stated that they have been in- formed that by February 20, 1980 the site must be cleaned -3- up and cars off of the street - this can be done in a week. Dick also stated that Peterson will be coming before the Board with a change in roofing material, fill in the gully and put in a culvert, clean up the front yard, parking enlarged and change of guardrails. Concern was expressed that the Town Center will turn into several, separate large buildings rather than integrated development along Metcalf Creek. For underground parking to be economically feasible, a large building is required. Planning consultant - the Town should gather all the mater- ial regarding original plans for the Town to give to the consultant; have URS plan a slide show with projects they have done; URS will be interviewed by the Board. It was suggested that the Board take a field trip to the site along Metcalf Creek between Avon Center at Beaver Creek and Peregrine Properties. Statement to be drafted - buildings must relate to certain areas, surrounding architecture must be compatible, insist on cooperation between developers, certain criteria must be met; a formal published statement. Corrections to the minutes - Second paragraph on the Heritage Company, page one, the sentence "The buildings are set back from the river property line 60 feet." shall be deleted; first paragraph on page two, "246 parking spaces" will be changed to read "286 parking spaces." In reference to automatic approval, the Town Attorney will be asked to look into the matter and report back to the Board. A motion by Bill Pierce was made to approve the minutes as amended, seconded by -om Landauer and approved unanimously. There being no further business, a motion was made by Larry Kumpost to adjourn the meeting. It was seconded by Mike Blair and Chairman Hugh Price adjourned the meeting at 11:00 P.M.
