Ree Avon Community Heat Recovery Project— Heat Distribution Building
Summary: The Avon Community Heat Recovery project will convey heat energy from
treated wastewater effluent to heat the Recreation Center swimming pools. It is a collaborative
project with Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and the State of Colorado and is the first
of its kind in the state. It will provide a renewable, green source of heat, helping Avon reach its
goals of reducing its carbon footprint. Two buildings are to be constructed for the project, a
condition of the Heat Distribution Building's design review approval was to present a landscape
plan to Planning and Zoning. Staff created a landscape plan utilizing transplanting existing
large pine trees, a new maple tree, and large shrub plantings to screen the building. Existing
irrigation infrastructure will be retrofit to low water use drip irrigation, and a durable, attractive
landscape amenity will be created.
Background: Town Staff presented the Final Design for two buildings to be constructed as
part of the Community Heat Recovery Project, one located on the Avon Wastewater Treatment
Facility (WWTF) site and one immediately east of the Recreation Center, at the December 15,
2009 meeting. The building at the WWTF, known as the Heat Pump Building, was approved
without conditions, and the building at the Recreation Center, known as the Heat Distribution
Building, was approved with two conditions: that appropriate glass block windows be added to
the building elevations with a Staff approval, and that a Landscaping Plan is prepared to
screen the building with a minimum three-foot wide strip, and that such plan shall be brought
before Planning and Zoning Commission. The architect is currently preparing the window
addition for submittal to Staff.
Discussion: Attached as Exhibit A to this memorandum is a site plan showing the proposed
landscape improvements at the Heat Distribution Building. The improvements will effectively
screen the building, while utilizing existing trees and minimizing the impact on parking spaces
and additional site work reconfiguring the parking lot and its entrances. The reduced site work
and utilization of existing plants also minimizes construction costs, and the landscaping will
have low ongoing maintenance costs. The plan was developed with Town of Avon Public
Works staff and will be easily maintainable and utilizable as a snow storage site for snow
removal operations, as well as an attractive landscape amenity in periods without snow. This
plan was accomplished losing only four additional parking spaces, bringing the total parking
impact to nine for the construction of the Heat Distribution Building.

Page 2 of 2
The parking lot entrance will be shifted to the north to allow for a large 'teardrop' shaped
landscaping area beginning with a three-foot strip immediately south of the double doors on the
building, and extending and wrapping to the south of the building to the existing concrete
sidewalk and new curb and gutter at the parking lot entrance. Plantings for this area include
large shrubs immediately adjacent to the building and proceeding south in a linear fashion to
screen both the new Heat Distribution building and a portion of the existing Recreation Center.
The shrubs consist of 5 -gallon size Burning Bush and Siberian Peashrubs" whose mature
height ranges from 9-12 feet tall. The Burning Bush is a green shrub with brilliant red fall color,
and the Siberian Peashrub is a green shrub with small yellow blooming flowers. To the east of
these larger plantings will be a row of Wild Roses, growing to a mature height of approximately
5 -feet, and exhibiting green foliage and pink flowers. Wild Roses are in found in other
landscape areas adjacent to the Recreation Center and will match existing plantings. Also in
this island will be a new "Tartarian Maple" (minimum 4"caliper) which will provide additional
screening and additional fall color. The ground cover in this area will be comprised of a cobble
mulch, with river rock approximately 4-6" in nominal size to match existing cobble mulch
adjacent to the Recreation Center. The cobble mulch will be placed atop a weed barrier fabric
and is a durable, attractive surface easily accommodating snow removal and storage
operations. Cinder removal from the snow piles is easily accomplished with this ground cover;
therefore, it is a preferred material for Public Works staff.
Moving to the east, the landscape island between the parking lot entry and exit will be shifted
and reconfigured. Three additional parking spaces will be removed and the landscape island
will be enlarged. One of the large 12" caliper pine trees currently located in the proposed
building footprint will be transplanted to this area, providing exceptional screening. This island
already contains two patmore ash trees planted in the spring of 2009. The plantings in this
area include Chinese juniper, which is a low -growing ground cover with golden yellow foliage.
Beneath the plantings will be the cobble mulch and weed barrier fabric. The small landscape
island to the east of the parking lot exit will be reconfigured to receive a 10" caliper pine tree
transplanted from the building footprint area, along with additional junipers, cobble mulch, and
weed barrier fabric. In addition, a 12" caliper tree from the building footprint will be transplanted
to atop the hillside immediately southwest of the existing Recreation Center loading dock to
screen the building corner.
Finally, a small triangle north of the building will be landscaped with native turf mix in this area.
The tall grasses will provide important snow storage area as well as screening and a green
buffer north of the Heat Distribution building. The native turf mix will be irrigated to ensure fast
germination and growth.
All irrigation proposed for this site, with the exception of the small landscape island north of the
building, will be drip irrigation, utilizing less water than the existing spray irrigation areas despite
the larger landscape area footprint on the proposed plan. Existing irrigation is proposed to be
retrofit to drip, minimizing the need for new installation and utilizing existing mainlines, valves,
and sleeving. The irrigation is tied to the Town's master irrigation system, which uses non -
potable water from Nottingham Lake. A rain sensor is installed at the pump house and the
entire Town's irrigation system does not operate during rain events.
Proposed Planning and Zoning Commission Action: Staff respectfully requests
approval of the proposed Site Restoration Plan for the Heat Distribution Building site.

Ree Color Change Review for Courtyard Villas
Discussion:
At the February 2"d, 2010 meeting the proposed color change was placed on the
agenda. The Commission tabled the application due to a need for an on -building
mock-up to properly review the proposed colors. The applicant has provided an on -
building mock-up of the proposed color on the southwest corner of the duplex on Lot
13, Block 3, Wildridge.
Staff recommends that the Commissioners take a site visit prior to the February 16th
2010 meeting and be prepared to discuss the proposed modification. Staff has
provided the Commission with a copy of the previous Staff report and photographs of
the on -building mock-up. Staff recommends approval of the proposed color change
with the finding that the proposed colors meet the Design Guidelines.

Project type: Modification to Final Design Approval
Legal description: Lot 13, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning: PUD
Address: 4121 Little Point
Prepared By: Jared Barnes, Planner I
The Applicant, David Forenza of Forenza Contracting, representing the property -
owners, Advanced Home Technologies, is proposing a modification to the Final Design
Approval for Lot 13 Block 3 of the Wildridge Subdivison. The Applicant is requesting to
modify the approved stucco colors on Lot 13 only. The previously approved stucco

A Final Design application for the construction of two (2) duplex structures, on Lots 12 &
13 Block 3 of the Wildridge Subdivision, was reviewed and approved with conditions by
the Commission on November 20, 2007. A Building Permit application was
subsequently submitted that included unapproved changes to the exterior of the
building. A Minor Project application was approved by the Commission on August 1St
2008 for the aforementioned modifications. The approved changes were limited to the
location of windows, doors and exterior building materials. Another Minor Project
application was approved by the Commission on the October 6th, 2009 and included the
removal of the chimneys, the addition of exterior privacy screens, and modifications to
window and material placement. The most recent modification to remove the louvers
from both halves of the duplex on Lot 13 was approved by the Commission on
November 3`d. 2009.
Attached to this report is a vicinity map (Exhibit A). Samples of the approved and
proposed colors will be provided at the meeting due to the lack of accuracy in
reproducing the samples. Staff will also provide a full size set of approved plans at the
meeting for your review.

PUD Amendment VON
February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting ` n ` ° " A ° °
Report date: February 10, 2010
Project type: Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment
Legal description: Lot 1, Eaglewood Subdivision
Current zoning: PUD
Address: 37305 Highway 6 & 24
Prepared By: Matt Pielsticker, Planner II
I. Summary
The applicant, Vicki Eastman, on behalf of the Lodge at Brookside Homeowners
Association, has applied for a Planned Unit Development ('PUD") Amendment to the
Brookside PUD. The proposal is to allow "Short Term Rentals," as defined by the Avon
Municipal Code, in addition to the currently allowed land uses. The Brookside PUD
describes the allowed uses for the residential portions of the PUD to include "Multiple
Family Dwelling Units including townhomes, condominiums and apartments."
This application stems from enforcement measures initiated during the approval
process for the Short Term Rental Overlay (STRO) District in late 2009. It was
determined that the STRO District could not be enacted for PUD zone districts that did
not explicitly enumerate this land use. The property management was informed that
since the property did not specifically allow Short Term Rentals and that the only
process to bring the use into conformance was to process a PUD Amendment
application and follow the public process.
Similar to the Stonebridge PUD Amendment that was recently processed; this
application is a straightforward PUD amendment being sought to consent to the Short
Term Rental use, which has presumably been taking place on the property since
original construction.
This report outlines all of the mandatory review criteria in Section V, and also provides
a recommended action with supported findings of fact. After holding a public hearing in
accordance with Section 17.12.100 of the Avon Municipal Code, Staff is recommending
that the Town of Avon Planning and Zoning Commission make a formal
recommendation of APPROVAL to the Avon Town Council based on the compatibility
of this land use.

Brookside PUD Amendment — Short Term Rentals
February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 2 of 6 Avaii,
As required by the Avon Municipal Code, this report serves as the official findings and
recommendations of the Community Development Department. After holding a public
hearing before the Planning Commission, a report of the Planning Commission stating
its findings and recommendations and this report will be transmitted to the Town Council
for their review of the first reading of an Ordinance for the Council to consider.
The Town Council shall then consider this application in accordance with Section
17.28.050 of the Avon Municipal Code. The Town Council hearing shall be held no later
than thirty (30) days following the Planning and Zoning Commission action. Following
this hearing, the Council shall consider the comments and evidence presented at the
hearing and evaluate the application in accordance with Section 17.28.080 and either
approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application.
III. Background
The property was rezoned from Residential High Density Commercial (RHDC) to PUD
in 1996. There was a PUD Development Plan approved through Ordinance 96-8,
subject to the following conditions:
1. That all development on this property shall conform to the approved Development Plan
which establishes the permitted uses, number of dwelling units, amount of commercial
area, locations of buildings and site improvements, building envelopes, parking and
driveway areas, and landscape plan.
2. That the maximum of 130 dwelling units formerly permitted in conjunction with the RHDC
zone district on this property is hereby eliminated by this Rezoning and approval of the
Development Plan.
3. That vehicle access to the site from Highway 6 must conform with Colorado Department
of Transportation (CDOT) regulations.
4. That final architectural and site design must be approved pursuant to Town of Avon
regulations prior to issuance of any building permit.
When this rezoning was approved, the corresponding PUD Development Plan
established all of the permitted development standards. Please refer to Exhibit C to this
report for the approved PUD Guide portion of this Development Plan.
A year later, the Town Council approved Ordinance 97-3, approving the first
Amendment to the Brookside PUD. This PUD Amendment approved the following
modifications: eight additional residential units, increased building height for Building B
to 63 feet, revised the building envelopes for Buildings B and C, revised the parking and
circulation layout, and revised the architecture of the residential buildings.
The PUD was once more amended in late 1997; adding "Restaurants" to the list of
allowed Commercial land -uses in the PUD Guide.

Brookside PUD Amendment — Short Term Rentals �U o fi
February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 3 of 6
This application is a noticed public hearing with written notice provided to all property
owners within 300' of the subject property. To date, Staff has not received any public
input regarding this amendment request.
According to the Town of Avon Zoning Code, Section 17.20.110, the following criteria
shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating a PUD.
1. Conformance with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan's Goals and
Objectives.
The Comprehensive Plan incorporates a number of overarching goals and policies
to provide town -wide direction with respect to the built form, community character,
housing, transportation, etc. While the majority of the goals and policies are general
in nature, there are relevant elements worth highlighting. For instance, Goal CA
provides guidance to the Town's desired land -use mix:
"Provide a balance of land uses that offer a range of
housing options... working in concert to strengthen Avon's
identity as both a year-round residential community and
as a commercial, tourism and economic center."
The challenge with balancing the resort/local land -use mix and the resulting
demands and impacts experienced with each, is a common theme found throughout
the Plan. Short term rentals and other tourism based land -uses should be
incorporated in the Town where they can be compatible with adjacent uses. Goal
E_3 gives general guidance related to inviting resort guests:
"Increase the number of visitors to Avon by enhancing
our attractiveness as a destination resort community."
According to the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is located in District 20:
River Residential District. This area of Town is somewhat segmented from other
areas of the Town Core due to natural controls (i.e. river bordering the north and
east), as well as Highway 6 and 24 bordering the southern border.
The planning principles for this district speak largely to sustaining the ecologically
sensitive eagle river environment, and providing access and improvements to the
ECO path.
2. Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the town, the
sub -area design recommendations and design guidelines of the Town.
Not applicable since there are no proposed changes to the exterior design of the
project.
3. Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood, and
adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, character, and orientation.

Brookside PUD Amendment — Short Term Rentals �4i
February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 4 of 6
This criterion is not applicable. As stated above, there are no changes that would
inhibit design compatibility with the immediate neighborhood. The architectural
design of the project would remain as it is today.
4. Uses, activity, and density provide a compatible, efficient, and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
There are residential, commercial, and resort uses in the general vicinity of the
Brookside property. This property has demonstrated a workable relationship with
the surrounding uses and activity by renting properties on a short-term basis in the
past.
5. Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards
that affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed.
Not applicable.
6. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Not applicable.
7. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing
on and off site traffic circulation that is compatible with the Town
Transportation Plan.
The circulation system for both vehicles and pedestrians is well developed and
functional on site, and pedestrian connections are provided to the river path.
Unfortunately this property is somewhat restricted for pedestrian connecting to
adjacent properties and eventually across Highway 6 & 24. The Transportation Plan
envisions sidewalks or separate paved trails along Highway 6 & 24 in the future.
8. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
Not applicable.
9. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional, and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. The phasing
plan shall clearly demonstrate that each phase can be workable, functional
and efficient without relying upon completion of future project phases.
Not applicable since no phasing is required. There are no necessary changes to the
subdivision plan in order to allow a short term rental land -use.
10.Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation
systems, roads, parks, and police and fire protection.
Not applicable due to the property's location on a State Highway. It must be noted
that regional transit service is linked closely with this property. Other services are in
place to support this use.

Brookside PUD Amendment — Short Term Rentals ��� Q
February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 5 of 6
existing11. That the streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry
anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed
PUD.
Not applicable.
12. That the PUD or amendment to PUD requested provides evidence of
substantial compliance with the following public purpose provisions, as
outlined in Section 17.28.085 of the Avon Municipal Code:
A. The application demonstrates a public purpose, which the current zoning
entitlements cannot achieve.
B. Approval of the zoning application provides long term economic, cultural
or social community benefits that are equal to or greater than potential
adverse impacts as a result of the changed zoning rights.
C. The flexibility afforded in approval of the zoning application will result in
better siting of the development, preserving valued environmental and
cultural resources, and increasing the amount of public benefit consistent
with the community master plan documents.
As mentioned, the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan is supportive of lodge type
units if focused in the Town Core area. The property is located in close proximity to
both local and regional bus service stops. Short term rental guests could continue to
utilize these services, and economic values could be experienced with continued
lodging taxes and shopping in town.
VI. Recommended Motion
"I move to recommend APPROVAL of the PUD Amendment to permit short term rentals
in the Brookside PUD to the Avon Town Council with the following findings of fact
related to the applicable criteria:
1. The subject application is in substantial conformance with the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives; the proposed use and associated
activity provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with
surrounding uses; and, that the PUD amendment requested provides evidence of
substantial compliance with section 17.28.085 of the Avon Municipal Code;
2. As evidenced by the existing use currently defined by the PUD Development
Plan as an "on-site rental office" with a Special Review Use permit, the Short
Term Rental Use has been considered ongoing;
3. The Town desires to permit "Short Term Rentals," as defined by the Avon
Municipal Code, in residential/mixed-use areas of the Town Core that are
designed as such and where property owners wish to engage in short-term
renting of dwelling units; and,

Re: Avon Transportation Comprehensive Plan —Vision Statements
SUMMARY
As part of the Connect Avon Now project, the Town Council has directed staff to work with the Commission in
drafting additional vision statements for the Avon Transportation Plan which will provide additional guidance on
the full range of future transportation outcomes for the Town. The Council has requested that the new vision
statements be scheduled for review at the March 23rd Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
The Town Council adopted the Avon Comprehensive Transportation Plan in October 2009 (Transportations
Plan). The Transportation Plan provides a clear foundation and framework that supports an integrated multi-
modal transportation system with planning for future roadway improvements, transit service enhancements and
bicycle/pedestrian facilities.
Following the adoption of the Transportation Plan, the Town conducted financial modeling and analysis to
consider capital and operating costs associated with meeting the future vision of the town's transportation
systems. The Connect Avon Now project is the means to identify funding options and deliver the desired level
of multi -modal connectivity in the Town with: 1) expanded transit routes, 2) added trails and bike lanes, and 3)
construction of a public parking garage.
The goals and policies of the Transportation Plan are the foundation of the Connect Avon Now project.
Therefore, Council has requested that the vision statement be expanded to:
1) Summarize the ideal future for the Town's transportation system in the next 20 years.
2) Provide context for the Connect Avon Now program recommendations.
3) Reinforce the strategic direction of Transportation Plan.
4) Give the Town a yardstick that it can use to measure present performance and plans
against its aspirations.
VISIONING PROCESS/ SCHEDULE
Council has requested that the Commission present its recommendations to them by March 23, 2010. In order
to meet that deadline the Commission will need to complete its visioning work by March 16, 2010. Staff is
proposing the following work schedule within that timeframe.
Feb 16 a. Existing Conditions Presentation (15 min)
b. SWOT exercise (45 min).
March 2 a. Review SWOT results (15 min)
b. Review proposed Vision Statements (45 min)
March 16 a. Review and approve final vision statements. (1 hour)
DISCUSSION
What is a Vision Statement?
® A vision statement serves as a guideline for future strategic decisions. It simply answers the question,
"Where do we want to go?"
® A vision statement outlines what a community wants to be. It focuses on tomorrow; it is inspirational; it
provides clear decision-making criteria; and it is timeless.
A broad statement of the desired future condition and character of the Town reflecting how and for what
the Town wants to be known.
Part of a strategic planning process that provides the framework for the strategies, actions, policies and
programs that can be implemented to reach the Town's vision for the future.
The Visioning Process
e Emphasizes community assets rather than needs.
Assesses community options and opportunities on the basis of shared purposes and values.
® Acts as a stand-alone process or part of a comprehensive planning process.
WORK SESSION 1 — SWOT ANALYSIS
The visioning process will began with a presentation on the Town's trends and issues concerning
transportation. Following this presentation, the Commission will identify the Town's strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats, through a SWOT Analysis. The results from the SWOT Analysis
will be used along with the existing Vision and Core Value Statements and the Transportation Goals to
prepare additional vision statements that respond to the Council's request.
Avon Comprehensive Plan Vision Statement:
"...To provide a high quality of life, today and in the future, for a diversity of people and interest; and to
promote their ability to live, work, visit, and recreate in the community."
Avon Comprehensive Plan Core Value Statement:
An exceptional transportation and transit network. Avon will support a multi -modal transportation network that
provides convenient, efficient, clean links throughout the town, to ski area base facilities, and the entire Eagle
Valley region.
Avon Transportation Plan Goals:
GA Create an integrated transit system that minimizes dependence on automobile travel
within the Town by making it easier and more inviting to use transit, walk, ride, bicycles, and
utilize other non -motorized vehicles.
G.2 Ensure that the railroad ROW corridor becomes an integral part to the Town's mobility
system and no longer creates a barrier to circulation throughout the Town.
G.3. Facilitate the development of a transit connection linking the Town with BC Village and
BC Resort.
GA Provide a safe and efficient vehicular transportation system.
G.5 Encourage a "park once/shop many" environment
