Cultural, Arts and Special Events Committee
Rules of Order
These Rules of Order establish rules and procedures for Cultural, Arts and Special Events
CASE") Committee meetings. The intent is to set forth rules which are readily accessible and
usable by the CASE Committee members and understandable by the general public.
I. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR CASE COMMITTEE MEETINGS: The CASE
Committee finds that the foundation of municipal democracy rests on open, respectful and
informed discussion and debate balanced with the necessary efficiency required to take action in
the public interest. Reasonable persons will often disagree on many public matters which arise
before appointed officials. The process of discussion and debate is essential to the ability of
appointed officials to render the best decisions possible for the Avon community. The following
standards of conduct are considered the minimum standards for members of the CASE Committee.
A. CASE Committee members shall conduct themselves in a mature manner that is becoming of
public officials, shall respect one another and shall respect members of the public.
B. CASE Committee members shall refrain from profanity, rude behavior or personal attacks and
shall promptly apologize to both the board and the recipient of any such behavior in the event
of a temporary lapse of appropriate behavior.
C. The CASE Committee Chair shall be responsible for maintaining civility, decorum and order
throughout the meeting.
D. Members of the CASE Committee shall not communicate between or amongst themselves by
text message, e-mails or other forms of electronic communication during a CASE Committee
meeting.
E. Members of the CASE Committee shall promptly disclose and announce the sending or receipt
by a CASE Committee member of a text message, e-mail or other form of electronic
communication during a CASE Committee meeting, to or from any person, for any such
communication that concerns a matter on the CASE Committee agenda for that meeting.
II. CHAIR: Every meeting of the CASE Committee shall be presided over by the Chair. If
the Chair is absent the Vice Chair shall preside over the meeting. If the Chair has a conflict of
interest on a matter, then the Vice Chair shall preside over the meeting for such matter. If the Chair
and Vice Chair are absent, or if they both have a conflict of interest on a matter, then a quorum of
CASE Committee members shall appoint an Acting Chair, by motion and vote, who shall then
preside over the meeting or shall preside over such matter for which the Chair and Vice Chair have
a conflict of interest. The Chair shall strive to moderate CASE Committee meetings with
impartiality, shall strive to allow input from all other CASE Committee members on matters before
expressing his or her opinion, and shall refrain from making a motion or seconding a motion until
it is apparent that no other member of the CASE Committee member will do so.
III. AGENDAS: The following rules and procedures shall apply to agendas:
A. The Chair shall determine the agenda in consultation with the CASE Manager. The CASE
Committee may direct items to be included on an agenda. Individual CASE Committee
members may contact the Chair to request inclusion of a matter on an agenda. The Chair
shall consult with the CASE Manager and exercise discretion to determine if the matter
should be included on the agenda as a discussion item or an action item.
Page 1 of 4
B. After roll call, the CASE Committee shall approve the agenda, by motion, by a majority of
the quorum present with any additions or deletions the CASE Committee deems appropriate.
C. The CASE Committee may take action by motion at any time during a meeting to schedule
discussion or action items on a future agenda which shall be scheduled by the CASE Manager.
IV. MOTIONS: All official CASE Committee actions are initiated by motion. These
following rules and procedures apply to motions. There are two basic motions: action motions and
procedural motions. Only one action motion may be on the floor at a time. A procedural motion
may be proposed, discussed and acted upon when an action motion is on the floor or at any other
time.
A. Basic Motion: The basic motion to take action is stated as, "I move to ...." Every motion
requires a second. Once a motion is made no further discussion can continue until a second
is made to support the motion.
B. Discussion: All CASE Committee members have the right to discuss the motion on the floor.
Discussion cannot be concluded unless (1) all CASE Committee members present consent
or (2) a majority of CASE Committee members present approve a procedural motion to "Call
the Question" and end debate.
C. Withdraw a Motion: The maker of a motion may choose to withdraw the motion at any
time prior to the vote on the motion and may interrupt a speaker to withdraw the motion and
consent of the CASE Committee member who seconded the motion is not required. The
motion is immediately withdrawn; however, the Chair may then ask the CASE Committee
member who seconded the withdrawn motion and any other CASE Committee member if
such CASE Committee member wishes to make the motion.
D. Amendment to Motion: Any CASE Committee member may request an amendment to a
pending motion. The maker of the pending motion and CASE Committee member who
seconded the motion must consent to the proposed amendment. Any CASE Committee
member may also propose a substitute motion to a pending motion which also requires
consent of the maker of the pending motion and the CASE Committee member who seconded
the pending motion.
E. Procedural Motion: A procedural motion may be made at any time and may impose or
modify any procedural rule provided that such procedure is not in conflict with the Avon
Home Rule Charter, any ordinance adopted by the Town, or any applicable state law.
Procedural motions require a majority vote of the quorum present.
F. Motion to Call the Question or End the Discussion: A motion to "call the question" (also
known as a motion to end the discussion) is a procedural motion to end debate and discussion.
A motion to call the question cannot be made until each CASE Committee member has had
at least one reasonable opportunity to ask questions and express his or her opinion on the
matter. Once a motion to call the question is made and seconded, it shall be the Chair's
discretion to allow any further discussion on such procedural motion for the purpose of
clarifying any technical, procedural or legal issue related to the procedural motion. A motion
to call the question requires a majority vote of the quorum present. Once a motion to call the
question is approved, the pending action motion on the floor must be voted upon promptly
or, if no action motion is pending, the Chair shall proceed to the next agenda item.
G. Motion to Continue: A motion to continue an agenda item must include a specific future
CASE Committee meeting date, time and place for the continued matter to be considered
again without re -noticing a required public hearing.
Page 2 of 4
H. Motion to Table: A motion to table places the agenda item on hold and does not require a
specific time for the return of the agenda item.
I. Motion to Suspend Rules: A motion to suspend rules may allow suspension of any rule in
these Rules of Order. Such motion may be made and requires a supermajority vote of a
majority of the quorum present plus one for approval. A motion to suspend rules may not
supersede the procedural requirements of the Avon Home Rule Charter, any ordinance
adopted by the Town, or any applicable state law.
J. A Motion to Reconsider: A Motion to Reconsider allows the CASE Committee to
reconsider a vote on a matter. A Motion to Reconsider may only be made and considered by
a member of the CASE Committee who voted in the majority on the motion which is
proposed for reconsideration.
V. MEETING CONDUCT
A. Point of Privilege: A CASE Committee member may interrupt the speaker to raise a matter
related to the comfort of the meeting, such as room temperature, distractions, or ability to
hear speaker.
B. Point of Order: A CASE Committee member may raise a Point of Order at any time that
the Chair permits meeting conduct which does not follow these Rules of Order or otherwise
fails to maintain civility and decorum by the CASE Committee and the general public.
C. Appeal: A CASE Committee member may move to appeal the ruling of the Chair on any
procedural matter or other decision related to the conduct of the meeting. If the motion is
seconded and, after debate, if such motion passes by a simple majority vote of the quorum
present, then the ruling or conduct of the Chair shall be overruled and reversed.
D. Call for Orders of the Day: A CASE Committee member may call for Orders of the Day
when such CASE Committee member believes that CASE Committee discussion has strayed
from the agenda. No second or vote is required. If the Chair does not return to the agenda,
then such ruling may be appealed.
E. Adjournment: The Chair may announce the meeting adjourned when there are no further
items on the agenda which have not been addressed. The CASE Committee may adjourn a
meeting at any time by motion, second and approval by a majority of the quorum present.
VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS: CASE Committee agendas shall include a general item labeled
Public Comment" near the beginning of all CASE Committee meetings. Members of the public
who wish to provide comments to the CASE Committee greater than three minutes are encouraged
to schedule time in advance on the agenda and to provide written comments and other appropriate
materials to the CASE Committee in advance of the CASE Committee meeting. The Chair shall
permit public comments during any agenda item and may limit public comment to three minutes
per individual, which limitation may be waived or increased by a majority of the quorum present.
VII. REMOTE TELEPHONEIVIDEO MEETING ATTENDANCE: A member of the
CASE Committee may participate in a CASE Committee meeting by Remote Attendance only in
accordance with this section. Remote Attendance shall be made available and shall be limited as
follows:
A. A CASE Committee member may participate by Remote Attendance only when such
member's absence would otherwise constitute an excused absence. An excused absence
shall include but not be limited to the inability to physically attend due to unavoidable travel
Page 3 of 4
schedule conflicts which are communicated to the CASE Manager in advance of a meeting
and unanticipated emergencies or accidents which render physical attendance not possible.
B. CASE Committee must approve by a majority vote of the CASE Committee members
physically present to allow a CASE Committee member to participate by Remote
Attendance.
C. The communication equipment and connections must be sufficient to allow clear,
uninterrupted two-way communication between the Remote Attendee and all participants
physically present at a CASE Committee meeting.
D. Multiple CASE Committee members may participate by Remote Attendance if the
communication equipment is sufficient to allow clear, uninterrupted two-way
communication.
E. The CASE Committee may discontinue Remote Attendance at a meeting when a majority
of the CASE Committee members physically present find that communication equipment
or connection is inadequate and results in noise, poor sound quality, delay or lost
connections.
F. Remote Attendance shall constitute physical attendance for purposes of establishing a
quorum. Meeting minutes shall acknowledge any Remote Attendance. Motions, votes and
other actions of a remote attendee shall be the same as if CASE Committee member
physically attended the meeting.
G. Non -CASE Committee members may participate by Remote Attendance when the
majority of the CASE Committee members determine that Remote Attendance is
necessary for the consideration of business presented to the Town, such Remote
Attendance would not violate the policies set forth above, the public interest would be
harmed, threatened or diminished by continuation of the business item, and good cause
exists for the inability of the non -CASE Committee member Remote Attendee to
physically attend.
H. The Town shall provide reasonable accommodation and shall waive or modify this policy
to provide handicapped CASE Committee members full and equal access to CASE
Committee meetings.

Application Type: Minor PUD Amendment (Wildridge Lot Split) Property Address: 5150 Longsun Lane
Property Zoning: PUD (Duplex)
Property Size: .65 Acres
Property Owner: LS 5150, LLC
Applicant Name: Jeff Manley
OVERVIEW: Jeff Manley (“Applicant”) is requesting to modify the allowed building type and driveway
configuration for Lot 61 Block 4 Wildridge Subdivision (“Property”). Currently, a duplex is permitted by-right, and
the allowed driveway type would normally be shared between them. The Application would change the allowed
building type to construct two (2) single-family-detached structures on re-subdivided lots, with independent
driveways.

During the two PZC meetings, the Application was revised to include additional limitations on the properties to
define the development potential more narrowly. The modifications create two distinct lots with slightly different
development potential and price points. The chart below notes the proposed constraints:
L61A L61B
Non-developable Area: 4,600 s.f. 5,270 s.f.
Maximum Height Limit 32.5’ 32.5’
Total Footprint: 1,800 s.f. 1,650 s.f.
Total Square Footage 3,900 s.f. 3,300 s.f.
Envelope See below See below
Additional landscaping units 16 16
The limitations resolved many of PZC and Staff’s concerns from the initial meeting.
PZC RECOMMENDATION: PZC took action by unanimous 7-0 vote to recommend approval of this application.
MINOR PUD AMENDMENT PROCESS: This request is processed under Avon Development Code (“ADC”)
§7.16.060(h), Amendments to a Final PUD. Subsection (1)(ii), sets forth criteria for a Minor Amendment, while
subsection (2)(ii) sets forth the review procedures for the same process. According the ADC, a proposed PUD
amendment is considered Minor if it meets the following criteria for decision and has been determined as such by
the Director:
(A) The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the amount of nonresidential land use or
significantly alter any approved building scale and mass of development.
(B) The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the intent and
integrity of the PUD.
(C) The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of open space or result in a
change in character of any of the open space proposed within the PUD.
The Application, as submitted, meets the criteria for a Minor PUD Amendment as there would be no exceptional
changes to building scale or character of development. This Application is additionally processed under
Subsection (1)(iii) Lot Split Amendment to Wildridge PUD:
(A) The proposed duplex lot split is located in the Wildridge PUD Subdivision on a vacant, undeveloped lot.
(B) The proposed PUD amendment meets the criteria for a Minor Amendment in Section 7.16.060(h)(1)(ii).
(C) The PUD amendment proposes to split one (1) lot permitting a residential duplex dwelling into two (2) lots
permitting one (1) detached single-family-residential dwelling on each lot.
The “Wildridge Lot Split PUD Amendment” process was codified in 2015 in response to a growing demand in the
subdivision for single-family home construction as opposed to duplex construction. Wildridge lot splits require
additional Review Criteria and mitigating restrictions be added to the properties. For example, a more defined
(restrictive) building envelope and lot coverage requirement accompany most Wildridge Lot Split PUD
applications. The full list of additional review criteria is included below.
The review procedures require a public hearing with the PZC and recommendation to Town Council. Council will
make the final decision after another public hearing and action on a Resolution for approval, or denial, by motion
Page 3 of 8
and vote.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: In compliance with the Public Hearing and noticing requirements, mailed notice was
sent to all property owners within 300’ of the property on January 20, 2021. Additionally, a notice was
published in the Vail Daily newspaper on January 22.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Lot 61 is 0.650 acres, is currently undeveloped, and is zoned PUD in the Wildridge
Subdivision. It is surrounded by duplexes and some single-family houses in the neighborhood. The lot contains a
gentle slope from the street frontage to the back of the property. The lot is relatively narrow by Wildridge duplex-
designated standards.
PROPOSED PUD AMENDMENT: The Application includes a narrative, response to the mandatory Review
Criteria, a preliminary site and building design plans showing a likely development concept (versus schematic
duplex and single driveway design), and a PUD Guide (plat) page. The application seeks to split the existing
duplex lot into two (2) separate lots that permits one (1) single-family-detached structure on each lot.
Easements, Setbacks, No-Build Area: The Application maintains the duplex lot standard Wildridge easements of ten
(10) foot front Snow Storage, Maintenance Easement, and seven and one-half (7.5) foot side yard drainage and utility
easements around the current property line. A completed drainage and utility easement between properties is required.
Proposed envelopes create about 20 feet between the structures. The Applicant states that this distance would achieve
relatively even spacing between the two houses on Lot 61 and the neighboring houses. There is roughly 53 feet
between the corner of Lot 60 house and the property line, and 16 feet from the Lot 62 house and the property line. No
overhangs or other items intrude over the envelope. The Lot 61B front setback (below, right unit) pushes the building
farther back, creating a varied street frontage more akin to the neighboring duplex lots.
Overlay showing the proposed building footprint alignment when compared to the adjacent properties.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The current development rights allow one single-family or one duplex structure on the lot.
Staff encourages Town Council to view this Application in two separate pieces: the duplex split component, and
the split driveway component. The driveway component was analyzed by the Town Engineer, and it was
Page 4 of 8
determined to be compliant with sight distance triangle. A specific Review Criteria, below, discusses the driveway
split. The proposed limitations define the building and are supported by Staff.
PUD REVIEW CRITERIA: Pursuant to §7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, ADC, the Town Council shall consider
the following criteria when forming the basis of a recommendation:
(i) The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the Town, and/or incorporates creative site design such that it achieves the purposes of this Development Code and
represents an improvement in quality over what could have been accomplished through strict
application of the otherwise applicable district or development standards. Such improvements in
quality may include, but are not limited to: improvements in open space provision and access;
environmental protection; tree/vegetation preservation; efficient provision of streets, roads, and other
utilities and services; or increased choice of living and housing environments.
Staff Response: The stated purposes of §7.04, Development Code, ADC, and §7.16.060, PUD, ADC,
includes statements regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan; regulating intensity of use;
avoiding increased demands on public services and facilities; and providing for compatibility with the
surrounding area, among other statements.
Town Council should carefully weigh if the Application provides improved quality of design with the surrounding
area. The surrounding area is predominately duplex and single-family development. The proposed footprints
create a slightly smaller unit on Lot 61B, thereby promoting some designed affordability within the neighborhood.
The request for two curb cuts results in less asphalt area than a single drive, as demonstrated by the applicant’s
study diagram. The PUD amendment does not increase demands on public services. Other applicable
development standards (parking, design standards, access requirements) remain intact.
(ii) The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;
Staff Response: S taff finds that the PUD amendment results in a design that will promote the public health,
safety, and general welfare to the same degree of the original PUD.
(iii) The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of this
Development Code, and the eligibility criteria outlined in §7.16.060(b);
Staff Response: The proposed PUD amendment is part of an established PUD and is therefore not subject to
the eligibility criteria or Public Benefit requirements outlined in §7.16.060(b). Staff finds this Application generally
compliant with the purposes of the Development Code, including, (a). All purposes are included, below:
(a) Divide the Town into zones, restricting and requiring therein the location, erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration and use of buildings, structures and land for trade, industry, residence and other
specified uses; regulate the intensity of the use of lot areas; regulate and determine the area of open
spaces surrounding such buildings; establish building lines and locations of buildings designed for
specified industrial, commercial, residential and other uses within such areas; establish standards to which
buildings or structures shall conform; establish standards for use of areas adjoining such buildings or
structures;
(b) Implement the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan and other applicable planning
documents of the Town;
(c) Comply with the purposes stated in state and federal regulations which authorize the regulations in this
Development Code;
(d) Avoid undue traffic congestion and degradation of the level of service provided by streets and
Page 5 of 8
roadways, promote effective and economical mass transportation and enhance effective, attractive and
economical pedestrian opportunities;
(e) Promote adequate light, air, landscaping and open space and avoid undue concentration or sprawl of
population;
(f) Provide a planned and orderly use of land, protection of the environment and preservation of viability,
all to conserve the value of the investments of the people of the Avon community and encourage a high
quality of life and the most appropriate use of land throughout the municipality;
(g) Prevent the inefficient use of land; avoid increased demands on public services and facilities which
exceed capacity or degrade the level of service for existing residents; provide for phased development of
government services and facilities which maximizes efficiency and optimizes costs to taxpayers and users;
and promote sufficient, economical and high-quality provision of all public services and public facilities,
including but not limited to water, sewage, schools, libraries, police, parks, recreation, open space and
medical facilities;
(h) Minimize the risk of damage and injury to people, structures and public infrastructure created by wild
fire, avalanche, unstable slopes, rock fall, mudslides, flood danger and other natural hazards;
(i) Achieve or exceed federal clean air standards;
(j) Sustain water sources by maintaining the natural watershed, preventing accelerated erosion, reducing
runoff and consequent sedimentation, eliminating pollutants introduced directly into streams and
enhancing public access to recreational water sources;
(k) Maintain the natural scenic beauty of the Eagle River Valley in order to preserve areas of historical and
archaeological importance, provide for adequate open spaces, preserve scenic views, provide recreational
opportunities, sustain the tourist-based economy and preserve property values;
(l) Promote architectural design which is compatible, functional, practical and complimentary checking to
Avon's sub-alpine environment;
(m) Achieve innovation and advancement in design of the built environment to improve efficiency, reduce
energy consumption, reduce emission of pollutants, reduce consumption of non-renewable natural
resources and attain sustainability;
(n) Achieve a diverse range of attainable housing which meets the housing needs created by jobs in the
Town, provides a range of housing types and price points to serve a complete range of life stages and
promotes a balanced, diverse and stable full time residential community which is balanced with the visitor
economy;
(o) Promote quality real estate investments which conserve property values by disclosing risks, taxes and
fees; by incorporating practical and comprehensible legal arrangements; and by promoting accuracy in
investment expectations; and
(p) Promote the health, safety and welfare of the Avon community.
The site is in the District 11, Northern Residential District of the Comprehensive Plan, which states in its overview,
“due to the limited number of existing trees and shrubs and the open character of the property, special care
should be taken to ensure that all structures are compatible with one another and in harmony with the natural
surroundings.” The Application includes a limit of disturbed area, although Staff is unsure that the Application
limits disturbance more than a duplex would. The Application also includes additional Landscaping Units, which
Page 6 of 8
could provide more constructed harmony.
This district includes the following Planning Principles:
• Identify, delineate, and enhance all open space parcels and paved and unpaved trails.
• Provide alternatives to the roadways for pedestrian circulation and greater connection to the
surrounding open space.
• Preserve and enhance the existing open space trails and explore the possibility of developing additional
parcels into pocket parks.
• Add an alternative or second access route to Wildridge (perhaps forest service road during the spring
and summer).
Encourage and support development that:
• Prohibits significant alteration of natural environment as well as ridgeline and steep slope development.
This area should be highly sensitive to visual impacts of improvements, wildlife preservation, and lighting.
• Prohibits significant alteration of natural environment as well as ridgeline and steep slope development.
This area should be highly sensitive to visual impacts of improvements, wildlife preservation, and lighting.
• Provides the development of a trailhead to access the surrounding public lands.
• Provides sidewalks and pedestrian connections.
Staff agrees that the Application provides for a responsive development pattern for the immediate neighborhood.
Visual impacts are no greater than those that would be experienced with a duplex structure, as demonstrated by
the duplex-design demonstration.
(iv) Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electric, police and
fire protection, and sewage and waste disposal, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject
property while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing development;
Staff Response: This PUD amendment does not change the current development rights to construct two
residential units and the existing services can adequately serve the properties. The fire department has not
provided any comments on the proposed dual driveway.
(v) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant
adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management,
wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated;
Staff Response: When compared to the existing duplex zoning, the proposed Minor PUD Amendment will
not result in any adverse impacts upon the natural environment, wildlife, vegetation, noise, or air. Storm
water drainage easements between property lines should be a condition of approval.
(vi) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant
adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; and
Staff Response: The proposed density and the building footprints do not adversely impact other areas in the
vicinity.
(vii) Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or potential future uses
on other properties in the vicinity of the subject tract.
Page 7 of 8
Staff Response: Single-family-detached residential use is compatible in scale with current and potential uses
on other properties in the vicinity. A similar lot split PUD amendment was processed for 5151/5153 Longsun Lane
in 2014, to the west of the Property. Staff included a map (Attachment C) that demonstrates the Wildridge
development pattern from late 2019. 5151/5153 Longsun Lane are mislabeled duplex-developed when they
should be single-family-developed. The vicinity is mostly duplex-developed or single-family-duplex zoned
properties.
§7.16.060(h)(4) ADDITIONAL REVIEW CRITERIA: The Town Council shall review a Lot Split Amendment to the
Wildridge PUD application according the following criteria, in addition to the Review Criteria above:
(i) The application results in less total site coverage and contains restrictions on building envelopes
when deemed appropriate to minimize site coverage;
Staff Response: The Application proposes a reduced building envelope which adequately minimizes site
coverage and creates a varied street presence, and distinct price points between the properties.
(ii) Driveway disturbance is minimized and a shared driveway curb cut is utilized when feasible and
when a shared driveway curb cut would reduce site disturbance;
Staff Response: The Application proposes two individual driveways. The Applicant states that this form would
reduce asphalt, diminish drainage concerns, and allow for increased landscaping features between the units, compared
to the single curb cut design. Final review of associated disturbance would take place with Development Plan
application(s), however, at this stage of review the conceptual plans indicate a single shared drive would be less
appropriate.
(iii) Areas not appropriate for development are designated on the PUD plan;
Staff Response: The Application incorporates a non-disturbance area of 4,600 s.f. (north) and 5,270 s.f. (south)
for 34.7% of the total area.
(iv) The proposed development of the site avoids disturbance of slopes greater than thirty percent (30%) or reduces potential disturbance of slopes greater than thirty percent (30%) compared to the
existing PUD designation; and,
Staff Response: The Property does not have any 30% or steeper grades. The proposed house locations and
envelopes seem appropriate for the site.
(v) The PUD plan incorporates requirements and/or restrictions as deemed appropriate to minimize
or mitigate impacts to properties in the vicinity, including but not limited to:
(A) enhanced landscaping;
(B) increased building setbacks (i.e. minimum twenty (20) feet separation between buildings and a
minimum ten (10) feet setback between properties);
(C) designated building footprints;
(D) building height restrictions; and,
(E) designated architectural massing, including building square footage designation.
Staff Response: As illustrated in the chart above, the Application modifies building envelopes, footprints, square
footage designations, and height, thereby mitigating impacts of properties in the vicinity.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS:

RE: 5150 Longsun Lane, lot split
Narrative and neighbors within 300’
Town of Avon Planning Dept and board members
The Wildridge Subdivision, lot 61at 5150 Longsun Lane is being proposed to be split into 2 single family lots.
Current conditions:
1 The Lot 61, is a .6505 acre lot (28,335.78 s.f.)
2 Lot is an upward loading lot with primary views to the West.
3 There are adjacent homes bounding the property. Info from Eagle CO website
a. 005156 LONGSUN LN #B Lot 60B, is .5 acres, with a Duplex home, 2 3432 s.f. (adjacent/north
lot) this home is connected by a storage room to the other half of the duplex
b. 005134 LONGSUN LN #B, .242 acres, ½ of a Duplex home, 2586 s.f. (adjacent/south lot)
c. 5151 LONGSUN LN and 5153 LONGSUN LN, .260 acres, Single family homes, 2818 s.f. (west of
lot and across street) These lots were from a lot split done in 2016 by Martin Manley architects
4 Density/current zoning is for Duplex, 2 family residence. No change to the overall density is being
requested.
5 The Parking on the duplex lot would require 3 parking spaces for each unit. No change in parking
requirements is being requested
6 The current height limitation is 35’, WE ARE PROPOSING A REDUCED MAXIMUM LIMIT OF 32.5’
7 The minimum Street frontage of >70’-0” can be achieved
8 The proposed homes will request an AEC for reduced roof pitch and for each lot to have its’ own curb cut.
Otherwise complying with the Town of Avon’s Development Code, Guidelines, and approval
procedures.
a. Please note that with the 2 curb cuts, each drive is spaced > 70’ between each drive and the
neighbors drive
b. Also note that the 200’ sight line at the corner can be achieved easily.
The Goal of the project is to create 2 single family homes with light and air buffer between. Important to the
design is to break up the bulk and mass of the build that you would get with a large monolithic structure of a
Duplex design.
· We are proposing that each home would have a compact design to maximize the green space and
outdoor living area.
· The homes would step with the natural grade of the site. The grade change from front to back is
approximately 11’. This allows the main level to walk out to grade in the back. The homes are ‘tucked’
into the slope of the lot. The design of the homes can respond to the natural contours of the lot nicely.
For the remaining lots of Wildridge, this is a very reasonably sloped site. This is not what the town would
consider as a steep sloped lot, (no areas with 30 to 40% grade)
· WE are proposing Designated architectural massing limited to a total footprint and total square footage:
a. 61A = footprint limit of 1,800 s.f. and total building habitable s.f. limit of 3,900 s.f.
b. 61B = footprint limit of 1,650 s.f. and total building habitable s.f. limit of 3,300 s.f.
Making 2 different sized homes will offer a second price point and a different home buyer
· It is proposed that the maximum building height is reduced to 32.5 feet in lieu of the 35’ allowed by the
Dev. Code. This will reduce the overall apparent mass of the homes
· The typical side yard setbacks of 10’ on either side of the lot demising property line (total of 20’) would be
observed. We would conform to the standard setbacks found on typical lots within Wildridge. A building
envelope is proposed to contain the building footprint.
· Proposed NON-DEVELOPABLE AREA of 34.7% of the lot area: 61A=4,600 S.F. AND 61B= 5,270 S.F.
· Proposing Additional landscaping units for each lot if 16 additional units. This will add (4) 1.5”-2.5”
caliber/clump trees on each lot
Attachment A
We have studied the adjacent properties and see that this lot has a long street frontage. The property line length
is 146.47’ at the street. This will help in keeping the homes appear to be spaced out similar to that of other
homes on the area.
Creating separate drives would help in giving separate identity to each home.
· The separated drives will allow each home to be able to better sit into the natural topography of the site
since the drive is not being in the control in elevation by the other home. The back of the south home
would create a walk out on the rear of the home.
· The splitting of the drives allows for a natural surface drainage between the homes and allow flow all the
way to the existing ditch at the road’s edge. A favorable design from an engineering standpoint.
· There will be less pavement with two drives and less need for additional snow storage.
· With two drives it allows more landscaping to buffer the home from the street. It also provides a ‘green’
space between the homes.
· The hammer head of the drive can more easily be placed on the property and away from the lot line or
adjacent neighbor.
· The drives can be placed so that there is adequate spacing between drives and similar to that of typical
lot to lot spacing of drives that exist in Wildridge.
· Jeff Manley (Martin Manley architects) has reviewed the site lines for the car approaching from the
northwest. A larger than 200’ sightline is provided to the drives.
From the Development Code 7.16.060 (4)
Review Criteria. The PZC and Town Council shall consider the following criteria as the basis for a recommendation
or decision to rezone a property to PUD overlay, approve a preliminary PUD plan or process a PUD amendment:
(i)
The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the Town and/or incorporates creative site
design such that it achieves the purposes of this Development Code and represents an improvement in quality over
what could have been accomplished through strict application of the otherwise applicable district or development
standards. Such improvements in quality may include, but are not limited to: improvements in open space provision
and access; environmental protection; tree/ vegetation preservation; efficient provision of streets, roads and other
utilities and services; or increased choice of living and housing environments;
· The lot split will create a benefit to the neighborhood in the following manner
o The proposed footprints are split and allow light and air between the homes that would not
be easily achieved with a duplex design. This breaks up the long continuous façade of a
duplex design
o The designs proposed will have smaller footprint that will allow more landscape area and
larger distance between homes.
o The two home will break up the home into smaller masses and provide a visual break from the
large coast to coast duplex designs prevalent in Wildridge.
o The proposed homes will be 3300 to 3900 s.f. in size. This is a size that the current real estate
market is seeking and is another choice than the large duplex product. Single family homes is
a desirable product in the Wildridge area. With the two different home areas it will bring two
different buyers.
o The homes are proposed to have a building height reduction to 32.5 feet.
(ii)
The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety and general welfare;
· The lot split will promote public health, safety and welfare by promoting smaller footprints that
require less energy to maintain, more light and air/ distance between the homes, better
water/drainage management, and more natural landscape. The smaller roof forms allow for more
room for future solar panels to be added if desired. Roof faces will have good southern solar
exposure.
Attachment A
(iii)
The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of this Development Code and the
eligibility criteria outlined in Subsection 7.16.060(b);
· The lot split is consistent with the Comp Plan, Dev Code, and Eligibility Criteria. This request is
consistent with other approved lot splits within Wildridge Subdivision
(iv)
Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electric, police and fire protection and sewage
and waste disposal, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels
of service to existing development;
· The Facilities and Services are unchanged since the density is not being increased
(v)
Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon the
natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife and vegetation, or such impacts
will be substantially mitigated;
· The lot split will not adversely affect the underlying Zoning. Due to the 2 two smaller buildings in lieu
of one larger duplex, the Proposed will improve site water management, air, vegetation, and noise
due to the smaller structures
(vi)
Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon
other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; and
· The Proposed will not adversely affect impact the other properties since the proposed homes are
consistent with other sizes of existing adjacent homes and will provide diversity of housing inventory
(vii)
Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or potential future uses on other properties in
the vicinity of the subject tract.
· The use is compatible with scale of the neighborhood and the residential use. There is a mix of single
family and duplexes in the neighborhood. There has been a previous lot split in the property across the
street at 5151 and 5153 Longsun Lane.
The design and lot splitting of this property is consistent with other approved by the Town of Avon and
the use of single family residential is consistent with the TOA Comprehensive Plan The use as single
family residential is compatible with the surrounding structures, which is a mix of single family and
duplex homes.
There is sufficient land area to provide 2 separate lots. The lots will be 13,242.24 s.f. and 15,106.61
s.f. when split. (.304 acres and .346 acres). Consistent with other lots sizes within Wildridge
subdivision.
The development on the site will met the applicable standards of the underlying zone district and the
development code. The proposed homes will request an AEC for reduced roof pitch from 4:12 to 3:12
to further reduce the apparent structure height of the homes and be requesting an AEC for each lot to
have its’ own curb cut. Separate curb cuts, one for each lot, is consistent with what would be expected
for individual lots and consistent with other lots splits we have brought before the Town of Avon in the
past. The drives and curb cut locations will meet TOA engineering standards.
Attachment A
Development Code 7.16.06, (h) (4) Additional Review Criteria. The PZC shall review a Lot Split
Amendment to the Wildridge PUD application and Major Amendments in the Wildridge PUD that
include a Lot Split according the following criteria in addition to the review criteria for a preliminary
PUD development plan:
(i) The application results in less total site coverage and contains restrictions on building envelopes
when deemed appropriate to minimize site coverage;
Response: Envelopes are shown on the Site plan. The building footprint, architectural projections,
decks and terraces will be restricted to be within the envelope.
(ii) Driveway disturbance is minimized and a shared driveway curb cut is utilized when feasible and
when a shared driveway curb cut would reduce site disturbance;
Response: Please note that with the 2 curb cuts, each drive is spaced > 70’ between each drive and
the neighbors drive. Also note that the 200’ sight line at the corner can be achieved easily. We believe
that we will satisfy the TOA Engineering standards for the two drives. The two drives will allow for more
landscape area to break-up the expanse of drive/auto court asphalt that would occur if only one
drive/curb cut is allowed.
Further comments regarding the benefits to 2 curb cuts vs. 1 curb cut
· Having 2 drives allows water/drainage to naturally flow between the drives to the road
ditch without added culverts or draining across the drive.
· Having a single curb cut actually will add 450 s.f. of asphalt to the drive over the 2 curb
cut option.
· A single curb cut reduces the ability to place more landscaping between the homes due
to the connecting drive surface
· With a single curb cut the south home will need to have a hammerhead that is closer to
the street and to the neighboring property to the south.
· See drawing A1.1.1.1 for graphic information
(iii) Areas not appropriate for development are designated on the PUD plan;Response: we have
designated areas as non-developable zones. This area is 34.7% of each lot
(iv) The proposed development of the site avoids disturbance of slopes greater than thirty percent
(30%) or reduces potential disturbance of slopes greater than thirty percent (30%) compared to the
existing PUD designation; and, Response: The Site does not contain any areas with a slope
greater than 30%
(v) The PUD plan incorporates requirements and/or restrictions as deemed appropriate to
minimize or mitigate impacts to properties in the vicinity, including but not limited to:
(A) enhanced landscaping; Response: WE have proposed non-developable zones that will leave the
natural landscaping at the east side of the property. This will create a buffer at the back yard of this
homes and the neighboring homes. We are also proposing an increase in landscape units for each lot.
(B) increased building setbacks (i.e. minimum twenty (20) feet separation between buildings and a
minimum ten (10) feet setback between properties); Response: It is proposed that there be a 20’
separation between the buildings, (10’-0” setback on either side of the proposed lot split line) and
maintaining the existing 10’-0” side yard setbacks.
(C)designated building footprints; Response: Designated architectural massing will be limited to a total
