The proposed modifications include: an addition encompassing 1,430 square feet; a partially covered patio; and a solar panel installation on the existing structure's roof. The proposed addition will be located to the southeast of the existing structure, while the partially covered patio is located to the southwest of the existing structure. All of the proposed improvements are shown on the reduced plan sets by a red highlight. Staff is recommending approval of the Major Design and Development Plan as proposed Review Criteria §7.16.080(f), Development Plan (1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code as specified in §7.04.030, Purposes; (2) Evidence of substantial compliance with the §7.16.090, Design Review.

May 1, 2012 PZC Meeting Property Description The Property is 1.05 acres with frontage on O'Neal Spur on the northern property line. The Property slopes downhill from northwest to southeast with the steepest portions of the lot to the southeast of the existing residence. The property is encumbered solely by typical setbacks and easements for the Wildridge Subdivision. The surrounding uses are all single-family and duplex structures, with the exception of the property to east which is current vacant. A Vicinity Map is attached to this Staff Report for orientation purposes (Exhibit A). Policy Analysis The Comprehensive Plan includes two planning principals for District 24: Wildridge Residential District which are relevant to this application: a. Special care should be taken to ensure that all structures are compatible with one another and in harmony with the natural surroundings; and, b. Site buildings of varying size along the street to maximize sun exposure, protect views, be compatible with existing surrounding development, and break up building bulk. The existing building and proposed modifications satisfy the intent of these sections of the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has provided architectural consistency through the use of building materials, roof forms, and colors. Planning Analysis Allowed Use and Density: The proposal for an addition to an existing single-family residence complies with zoning which permits a duplex (two (2) dwelling units) on the Property. Lot Coverage, Setback and Easements: Building site coverage is thirteen percent (13%) and both the existing building and proposed addition are located within the required setbacks. Building Height: The maximum building height permitted on the property is thirty-five feet (35'). The building height of the proposed addition is thirty feet (30'), while to covered patio has a maximum height of fourteen feet (14'). Parking: The structure, including the proposed modifications, totals 5,710 square feet requiring a minimum of three (3) parking spaces be provided. The existing structure provides five (5) spaces (two (2) in the garage and three (3) surface spaces). Outdoor Lighting: A single full cut-off wall sconce fixture is being proposed for addition (Exhibit B). The proposed fixture utilizes a hundred (100) watt bulb and is full cut-off, complying with the outdoor lighting requirements. Three (3) fixtures are proposed for the additions and two (2) fixtures will remain on the existing structure. Engineering Analysis The proposed modifications will not alter the site access or drainage. The proposed addition to the southeast of the existing structure will step with the grades and will be constructed into the slope. The lowest level will walk out onto the grades as they fall off to the southeast. Furthermore, the applicant is not proposing any retaining walls. Design Standards Analysis Landscaping: The property is currently heavily landscaped along the driveway and adjacent to the O'Neal Spur. The proposed addition is located in an area that is currently native grasses and May 1, 2012 PZC Meeting decks. The proposed modifications will only remove a limited area of flower beds that are located where the new entrance is proposed. The applicant has proposed to re -vegetate all disturbed areas with native seed. The proposed modifications and existing structure comply with the minimum landscaped area and maximum irrigation area requirements. Site Design: The existing structure is located to the northwest side of the property. The proposed covered patio is attached to the southwest side of the existing structure, while the proposed addition is attached to the southeast side of the existing structure. The applicant has responded to the steep grades by stepping the foundation so that the improvements minimize the need for retaining walls. Furthermore, the proposed design maximizes solar access by positioning windows to the southeast and southwest. Building Materials and Colors: The existing structure utilizes combination of building materials, including vertical and horizontal wood siding, stucco, and a river rock stone base. The colors of these materials are a medium brown and are best displayed in Exhibit C. The proposed modifications will match these building materials and colors. The existing structure does use a synthetic shake shingle and the applicant is proposing to use asphalt shingles on the proposed modifications, but will match the existing roofing's dark gray color. Photographs of the existing colors and materials are provided as Exhibit C. Roofs: The existing structure has two roof pitches: eleven -in -twelve (11:12) and four -in -twelve (4:12). The applicant is proposing to match these pitches on the proposed addition and will use a four -in -twelve (4:12) on the covered entry dormer and covered patio. All of these roof pitches meet the minimum requirements of the Design Standards. All overhangs are a minimum of one and one-half (1.5) feet which also complies with the Design Standards. Alternative Energy Systems: The applicant is proposing the install a solar panel system on the southwest pitch of the existing structure. This system will consist of fourteen (14) panels in a two (2) row configuration. The total system size will be 10.85 feet tall by 23.64 feet wide. The applicant is proposing to flush mount the system to the roof, which comply with the Town standards. Details of the solar panel system are attached to this report as Exhibit D. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Major Design and Development Plan for Lot 8, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision as proposed.

The site is located on Lot 2, Sun Road Subdivision, also described as 15 Sun Road (the Property). The proposed modifications include: 1) Replace all areas of smooth stone to stucco; and 2) Landscaping Modifications. Please refer the attached cover letter and reduced plan set (Exhibit A) for details of the proposed modifications. A color/material sample of the proposed stucco will be available at the meeting for review. Review Criteria §7.16.080(f), Development Plan (1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code as specified in §7.04.030, Purposes; (2) Evidence of substantial compliance with the §7.16.090, Design Review. (3) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan; (4) Consistency with any previously approved and not revoked subdivision plat, planned development, or any other precedent plan or land use approval for the property as applicable; (5) Compliance with all applicable development and design standards set forth in this Code, including but not limited to the provisions in Chapter 7.20, Zone Districts and Official Zoning Map, Chapter 7.24, Use Regulations, and Chapter 7.28, Development Standards; and (6) That the development can be adequately served by city services including but not limited to roads, water, wastewater, fire protection, and emergency medical services. §7.16.090(f), Design Review (1) The design relates the development to the character of the surrounding community; or, where redevelopment is anticipated, relates the development to the character of Avon as a whole; (2) The design meets the development and design standards established in this Development Code; and (3) The design reflects the long range goals and design criteria from the Avon Comprehensive Plan and other applicable, adopted plan documents. Property Description The Property is 1.084 acres (47,219 square feet) in size, and zoned Town Center (TC). The Property is located south of the eastbound off -ramp to Interstate 70, and SW of Avon Road Round- about #2. Vehicular access to the Property from Avon Road is limited to southbound traffic, via May 1, 2012 PZC Meeting Sun Road. Sidewalks along Sun Road and Avon Road provide pedestrian links to adjacent properties. The Property is situated on the NW corner of Avon and Sun Roads. The Comprehensive Plan identifies Avon Road as a primary gateway corridor leading into the Town. It is the most traveled road in Avon. The Planning Principals for this corridor support strong pedestrian connections across Avon Road, and redevelopment of underutilized and outdated buildings to fulfill the purpose of district as a showcase and to make them compatible with existing and future development in the West Town Center District. In 1997, the Town completed major streetscape enhancements along the corridor, including the roundabouts, sidewalks, and art walk. Policy Analysis Comprehensive Plan (2006). The Property is also located in Planning District 1: West Town Center. This district is envisioned as the most intensely developed mixed-use district in Town with strong pedestrian considerations. The Property is located in Planning District 4: Avon Road Corridor. This is area is recognized as a High Priority District in terms of the importance of the district's role in realizing the community vision. It is considered the "Avon Road Showcase" and derived from its role in the experience of the community. The West Town Center District Plan (2008). The property is also located within the West Town Center District; a priority re -development area in the Town of Avon. The District -Wide Design Guidelines, which promote an intensely developed, mixed use, pedestrian oriented area, apply to this property. Process/Planning Analysis Because the Sketch Design application for this project was submitted prior to the adoption of Title 7, Avon Development Code (ADC), the zoning standards from the former Title 17 — Zoning, Avon Municipal Code (AMC), and corresponding (now repealed) Town of Avon Commercial Design Guidelines (the "Design Guidelines") dictated the design review process. The primary reason the applicant proposed a smooth stone finish at Final Design was to fully comply with the Priority Guidelines for the West Town Center District. The West Town Center guidelines place emphasis on high quality building materials and explicitly prohibit stucco or dryvit siding in the Priority Guidelines. The PZC must weigh the quality of stucco and its appearance with the currently approved smooth stone siding. The existing approved and proposed materials will be available at the meeting. Since this application was submitted after the adoption of Title 7 — Avon Development Code (ADC), the process and standards must follow those prescribed in the ADC. In addition to the general comprehensive planning considerations, the ADC contains the following standards with respect to materials and colors — some being specific to the Town Core: §7.28.090(c)(3) — Generally Applicable Standards: (i) The use of high quality, durable building materials is required. Exterior walls shall be finished with materials used in a manner sympathetic to the scale and architectural style of the building. May 1, 2012 PZC Meeting (ii) Preferred materials reflect the Town's sub alpine character such as native stone, wood siding, masonry or timbers. (iii) The following building materials and wall finishes are not permitted on the exterior of any structure: (A) asphalt siding, (B) imitation brick, (C) asbestos cement shingles or siding, (D) imitation log siding, or (E) plastic or vinyl siding. (iv) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider newly developed materials in light of subsections (i) -(iii), above, and make a determination about appropriateness. (v) Indigenous natural or earth tones such as brown, tan, grey, green, blue, or red in muted, flat colors with an LRV (Light Reflective Value) of sixty (60) or less are required. §7.28.090(viii): Mixed-Use/Non-Residential Standards for Town Core (A) Durability of Materials. Materials should be used that have a long life and age well. Materials at the ground floor should be composed and detailed in a manner that enriches the pedestrian experience. Authentic materials are encouraged. Faux or fake materials are prohibited. New materials, such as architectural composite panels, should not imitate other materials, but should reflect their own identity. (B) Masonry and stone veneer. Masonry and stone veneer walls should be detailed as masonry bearing walls, especially at corners and windows and door openings. (C) Synthetic materials. The use of synthetic materials is discouraged unless they can be shown to display the ability to age in a manner similar to or superior to the natural materials they replace. (D) Trim and molding. Building walls should be trimmed in wood, stone, cast stone, precast concrete, or concrete. Foam moldings are discouraged. (E) Multiple materials. Two (2) or more wall materials may be combined on one (1) fagade, but should be located one above the other with lighter materials above more substantial materials (e.g. wood above stucco or masonry, or stucco above masonry). (F) Color. Materials and finishes should be composed to provide balanced designs that are appropriate to each style and context. In general, large areas of bright colors should be avoided, although strong accent colors can be successfully used.

The modified areas are provided below: 1. In the area above the rough cut stone (all elevations); we propose to change from smooth stone to smooth stucco. We strongly believe that the look and appearance, in concert with the rough cut stone, is the best material combination for the project. A sample of the color and texture will be provided. 2. Landscape plan revisions in the following areas: a. The current plan shows the planting of 6 additional Spruce trees in lieu of the 3 existing trees that were going to be transplanted originally. The originally submitted plan showed the transplanting of three large Spruce trees. We are concerned that the contractors will not warranty the transplant and that the trees may die prematurely - they are in problematic areas. We believe that planting 2 trees per tree removed gives the project the best success rate for mature and dense landscaping. b. Southeast corner changes due to adding additional snow storage as result of the civil base plan that adjusted. These are the only revisions we are seeking to the approved plan. We respectfully request support to make these changes. We believe that this will enhance the project and stay within the spirit of the original approval. We are excited to be in construction (thank you) and encourage you to visit to the site for a tour when your schedule allows. Thank you for your time and consideration of the matter and we look forward to working with the Town of Avon to ensure a successful project.

LANDSCAPE PLAN Staff Report — Code Text Amendment A I N 0 v May 1, 2012 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting0 l� To The Avon Planning and Zoning Commission From Jared Barnes, Planner I Date April 27, 2012 RE: Mall Improvements Modifications Summary and Background During 2011, Town Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission worked on designing improvements to the Avon Pedestrian Mall area. The improvements were limited to the west end of the mall stretching from the current intersection with Benchmark Road, west to the intersection with Lettuce Shed Lane, and bending south along Lettuce Shed Lane. For discussion purposes the improvement area was separated into three planning areas: • Area 1: The Lettuce Shed lane corridor connecting the Westin / Riverfront and transit center to the pedestrian mall; • Area 2: The green space associated with the Avon Center building, between the intersection of the pedestrian mall with Lettuce Shed lane and the eastern gateway of the mall, where the old transit drop-off currently exists; and • Area 3: The eastern gateway of the mall where the old transit drop-off currently exists, and the surrounding landscape between the drop-off and the Avon Center building. After discussing and agreeing upon Concept C1, the improvements were presented to the Town Council, where similar ideas were agreed upon. In late 2011, potential developers of Lot 61 approached the Town through a work session review. Their plans included improvements to the mall area as well as Lettuce Shed Lane. Their plans also contemplated providing site access through a portion of the mall improvements. Town Staff reviewed the potential plans and determined that any future access to Lot 61, may need to utilize a portion of the mall area. This factor required Town Staff to reassess the mall improvements to accommodate potential site access on Town property. Pedro Campos, Zehren Associates, was contracted to revise the plans, specifically Area 3, to accommodate potential site access through this portion of the mall. Attached to this memo is a cover letter from Pedro Campos (Exhibit A) as well as Design Plans (Exhibit B). L Z E H R E N AND ASSOCIATES April 25, 2012 Town of Avon Community Development Attn: Justin Hildreth / Jared Barnes Post Office Box 975 Avon, CO 81620 Phone: 970- 748-4045 Email: jhildrethgavon.org / jbarnesnavon.org RE: Pedestrian Mall Improvements - Area 3 Mall Entrance — Concept Plan Refinements Dear Justin and Jared, Thank you for the opportunity to work with the Town of Avon toward improvements to the existing pedestrian mall. Please accept this cover letter in association with the drawings being submitted for review with the Planning Commission meeting on May 1, 2012. Zehren and Associates worked directly with Town staff in the summer of 2011 through a conceptual design for the overall project (Areas 1,2, and 3) that resulted in the selection of a preferred concept (referenced herein as `Concept Cl'). The effort was placed on hold based on potential development application(s) for the adjacent Lot 61 which were subsequently abandoned after an initial phase of due diligence. Since there are no pending applications associated with Lot 61 expected at this time, the Town has decided to move forward with an initial phase of improvements to the pedestrian mall, building directly on the preferred concept selected in the Fall of 2011, while anticipating the future development of Lot 61 In preparation for the project implementation the preferred Concept C1 needs to be adjusted and refined to accommodate future access into Lot 61 adjacent to project area 3, as well as provide for potential future vehicular access to the mall. The refinement of Concept C1 requires review and approval with the Town's Planning and Zoning commission and prior to development of construction documents. Toward this end, Zehren and Associates is submitting several drawings for review with the Planning and Zoning Commission. Included are the preferred Concept C1 plans developed in August of 2011. Also included are refined concepts, with revisions to the pedestrian mall entrance Area 3 to address vehicular access to Lot 61 and the pedestrian mall while minimizing disruption and disturbance to the overall public space being created for multi -use events. The intent is to review the attached information to obtain additional feedback and input from the Planning and Zoning commission to be incorporated in the next stages of design and construction documents and toward a Fall of 2012 construction and project implementation. Thanks in advance for your time and please contact me with any questions or clarifications in advance of the meeting.
