Special Use Permit. File No. Ed Ogden represented D & E Towing. Ed requested a special use permit to do service work and small maintenance for their own vehicles. Dick Evans requested that any recom- mendation be contigent on the completion of the building (wood facing) and that the building meet the fire and building separation wall (two hour separation walls) requirements and exhaust system. Bill Pierce asked for comments and/or questions from the audience and there was some discussion. Don Teasley, Attorney and representative of Lots 14 & 15, asked for the number of trucks using this facility and the answer is three. Don expressed concern regarding: Lot 13 is the high point along Metcalf Road, noise, oil, unslightliness. Larry Goad, Lots 38 and 11, stated he has no objections to the proposed permit if towed vehicles will not be stored there and if any violations of the special use permit occur, that D & E Towing will be evicted. David Terrell, owner of Lots 16 and 17 has no objections if there is an annual review of the permit and if the business is confined to the description heard tonight. George Rosenberg, owner of Troxel Warehouses, stated that the cars stored on the lot now will be gone within the next 7-10 days and it is understood that their removal is necessary for a Certificate of Occupancy to be issued for the building. Also, if the Town is dissatisfied, the permit will be revoked. Joselynn Boyer, owner of Lots 14 & 15, stated that granting the permit will downgrade the property. There were additional comments from Diane Boyer and Keith Troxel. A motion was made by Larry Kumpost to table this request until the next meeting (May 7, 1980).

Bill Pierce stated that the recommendation to be made to the Town Council will be against the special use permit. A third motion was made by Larry Kumpost that approval be based on the reduction of noise that might be generated by this facility, additional landscaping be added between his lot and the lower lot, a review each year that the use is as it was designed for and that a limit be placed on just three trucks allowed. The motion was not seconded. A fourth motion was made by Mike Blair for approval with the following conditions: 1) all maintenance and repair work to occur inside the building, 2)no outside storage of materials including automobiles or other vehicles, 3) the owner must complete the site work including land- scaping and remove all junk materials and 4) that the per- mit be subject to review on two conditions: a) upon any reported violation of the permit and b) during May, 1981 by this Board automatically to review for compliance with all conditions and subject to any reasonable addi- tional conditions if there are any major problems occurring. The motion was seconded by Tom Landauer and approved unanimously. Item #2, Beaver Creek Automotive, Troxel Warehouses, Lot + David Svabek represented Beaver Creek Automotive. He would like to do outside vehicle repair work. He has 1,000 square feet inside and needs two outside parking spaces - not for junk vehicles but for cars coming in for repairs. He does not intend to repair any cars outside the building. Bill Pierce asked for comments from the audience. Ed Odgen had no objections. Don Teasley stated that the area zoned RHDC is for automobile service stations, vehicles will sit there for days waiting for parts and to be fixed, problems with drainage, noise, exhaust. Dave Terrell stated that this would create a situation not easily monitored or controlled, a storage problem will occur, some cars to be worked on will be towed there so con- gestion will be a problem, onsite storage will be needed when parts are not available for repair, an inappropri- ate use for the area. George Rosenberg requested a favorable recommendation. Larry Goad stated that based on just two cars outside, he has no objections. Keith Troxel stated that if there are any problems with parking, Beaver Creek Automotive will be evicted. There are six and 1/3 parking spaces alloted and one space for loading for that building, based on the IC zoning. A motion was made by Tom Landauer to approve this special use permit with the conditions that the owner of the building provides a few extra things - landscaping along the lower and upper lots and provides adequate draining down the driveway. If the drainage is not adequate the owner will provide the necessary filtration system.

Larry Kumpost seconded the motion and in addition to what was mention --d, whether it can be enforced, and several items that are potentially objectionable: 1) never exceed the two storage vehicles outside, 2) that there is sufficient loading space for cars that are doing any kind of delivering to any business to be able to pull in and out, 3) pollution - no grease be dumped on site, that efforts be made to keep grease and oils fr.�-e from the site, that draining be into a container and that container be removed and deposited lawfully at some de- signated location, 4) also that the repair work itself is on the interior of the building, 5) that the landscaping plan for screening purposes be submitted as of May 7, 1980 by the owners of the building, 6) the Building Administra- tor has the right to terminate this special use permit on his own authority should any of these conditions be found to be in violation at any given time as a means of enforce- ment. That term --nation shall be accomplished and the business be vacated within a 30 day period. The Town Attorney will review Condition Number six and rule on how this is enforced.

Item #5, David Peterson, Culverts, Desi and Chance of Roofing Material, Lot 22, subdivision, rile No. UU-1-Z. David Peterson represented Peterson Warehouses. David stated that last fall he had a verbal agreement with Ken Richards, former Building Administrator, for a design for a four foot box culvert. The report from Claycomb Engi- neering for the Town's drainage and retention system sized the culvert 84 inches with a 16 foot headwall. There is a 25 foot easement through the property for drainage. David hired Intermountain Engineering to devise an alternate plan, they introduced a surface drainage plan that would handle a 600 square feet flow. The Mayor stated that the Town Council accepted Claycomb's culvert, and that Dick Evans is instructed to close down the building if the culvert is not completed. The Board is not in a position to approve an alternate drainage plan. David is instructed to come to an agreement with the Town Engi- neers. He will meet with the Mayor and the Building Ad- ministrator to settle this issue. Dick Evans stated that the handrails must be modified to meet the code. The railing must be spaced smaller, David wants to put expanded metal on the face of it, painted black. The Board found no objections to this modification of the railing. Regarding the band across the front of the building - David would like to delete the color of blue, rather a natural pine color as it is now. The Board had no objections to approving this modification. The section of roof which was originally approved to be gravel was found to be too steep for gravel. The material there now is asphalt shingles, tan color. David would like to leave the shingles, which would require a variance by the Town. The Board had no objection to granting this modi- fication. The off-street parking must have 17 spaces. If outside storage space is needed a special review is needed (Section 3.2). The Board requested to see revised parking plans before the paving is done. David will come before the Board with the parking and drainage issues as a later date. Item #6, Wingspread, U.S. Homes, Accomodation Units and rnmma r,—'+ial ROACP. T.ntc 25-28. 35. Block 2. Benchmark subdivision, rile NO, UU-4-1. Irving Phillips, Architect, Dick Bennet, Project Manager and Vivian Armstrong, Senior Vice President with U.S. Homes represented Wingspread. Bill Pierce stated the two re- quirements of the Town of Avon as far as placement of units on any lot - 1) must meet the Zoning Ordinance (79•-12) and 2) assigned dwelling units or accomodation units must be provided for that particular piece of pro- perty (see plat map). U.S. Homes is aware of this but will bring in points which they feel need clarification. A large piece of property which included this project's property was alloted 340 accomodation units. U.S. Homes must prove to the Board that they have the right to use whatever number of those units they will put in their building. There will be a glassed enclosed galleria along the entire length of the building, 30 feet wide. The entrance to the hotel off of Avon Road.
