MINUTES OF DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING
MAY 7, 1980, 7:30 P.M.
The regular meeting of the Design Review Board for the
Town of Avon was held on May 7, 1980 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 Chairman Hugh Price.
All Board Members were present with the exception of Tom
Landauer.
The Chairman deferred the reading of the minutes until later
in the meeting in order for all members to have a chance
to read them.
There being no business requiring consideration before the
regularly scheduled agenda, Item #1 was introduced.
Item #1, Avon Center at Beaver Creek, Lots 47-54, Block 2,
Benchmark Subdivision, Contingencies, File No. 79-11-5.
Ken Shapiro and Bill McCoy represented Avon Center. They
are resubmitting their project with some modification of
the commercial and parking areas. Due to cost parameters
of the previously submitted proposal, they would like to
reduce the size of the interior mall, reduce the net com-
mercial space, eliminate the level minus two parking.
The reduction of commercial space would reduce the number
of parking spaces for the project. The center portion of
the interior mall has been preserved, also some of the mall
at the commercial center. The commercial space turned over
to parking is not on the exterior. 95,000 square feet
of commercial space is now 67,000 square feet, 88,000
square feet of commercial mall is now about 7,500 square
feet. Most of the other services have been left the same.
Parts of the two story areas are now one story. 280 of
the parking is for compact cars (8'6"), depth of spaces
are the same as for standard cars. Whether the project
stops after some phases are completed or whether the entire
project is constructed will depend on the economy. The
intent is to complete the entire project. The compact
car spaces do not violate parking space requirement, according
to Dick Evans. The earliest starting date has been postponed
from this fall to next spring. The phasing of construction
is critical to the mall.
A work session will be held on Monday May 12, 1980 at 8:00
P.M. to discuss the proposed changes in detail.
Item #2, Vail Associates Real Estate, Remodeling, Benchmark
Building, Tract Q, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-4-3.
David Floyd represented Vail Associates Real Estate. They
are remodeling the downstairs Sunridge model unit into
office space. There are three basic exterior changes:
changing a six foot window to a four foot window, removing
the existing door and changing it into a window and changing
another six foot window to a four foot window. The ex-
terior materials will remain the same. Dick Evans requested
-1-
a letter be written to the Building Department from the owner
of the building stating that he is aware of the proposed
changes and that they meet his approval. Also, requested
is that when the changes are made, siding is not just
filled in but extends to look natural. There being no
objections, approval was granted with the above conditions.
Item #3, Wolff Warehouses, Lot 23, Block 1, Benchmark Sub-
division, File No. 80-2-2. ,
Sidney Flook represented Wolff Warehouses. 4-5 windows
have been added to the building, framed in brick. A
skylight has more interest for the Board than windows.
Lighting - downlighting over doors. Drainage -- the Town
Engineers have stated that a very deep ditch will be needed
along the road there or a small berm along the property
line, noe to two feet high, which could be part of the
landscaping. There should not be a culvert under the berm.
There being no objection, final approval has been granted
with the modifications mentioned tonight.
Item #4, Buck Creek Condos, 10 Units, :Got 13, Block 2,
Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-5-1.
David Peel and Kathy Warren represented Buck Creek Condos,
Phase II. This 10 unit building completes the building
constructed in Phase I. Exterior material is the same as
in Phase I. It has a slightly different roof configuration
than Phase I. The parking structure will be included in
Phase II. It is a two story structure and was presented
to the Board last year with Phase I. The total parking
is 108 spaces, 2 1./4 parking spaces per unit. There will
be 74 spaces for Phases I and II. The top level parking
will not have a roof. Landscaping - the close -in landscaping
will be completed by August, 1980 for Phase I. David asked
for clarification of whether final approval can be granted
for the remaining phases of this project, or just the 10 units
requested and paid for at this meeting. Approval will be
for the 10 units in Phase II. There being no objections,
final approval was granted for 10 units in Phase II and
the parking structure.
Item #5, Sunridge, Phase II, Lots 1-7, Block 3, Benchmark
Subdivision, Grading and Updating, File No. 79-12-1.
Larry Kumpost stepped down to represent Sunridge. A revised
grading plan was introduced. The major difference is there
is a steeper slope, the parking area levels out. The slope
is 50. There are buildings on the,back-filled areas. Slopes
will be cut in and shelved, where there is'part grade and
part fill, the grade will be "knocked down" so that buildings
will be constructed on uniformly compacted surface. There
are seven buildings in this phase and 77 units. Drainage •-
there will be a drainage cutout several feet deep. There
are two additional drop basins. The layout of the parking
area has not been changed, only the grades are changed.
There are a few retaining walls so that the grade will work.
The lots are now officially zoned Lots 1, 2 and 3. There
being no objections, approval was granted for the grading
changes.
Changes on the Board - Hugh Price and Cynthia Jordan have
resigned from the Design Review Board, Hugh's resignation
effective at the time he is sworn in as an Avon Town Council -
member, Cynthia's effective as soon as a suitable replacement
is found. There were letters of application from Ken Hardwick,
Ron McKenzie, Bob Zeeb, Cheryl Dingwell and Michael Wineman.
