Lot 1, Riverfront Subdivision
Planned Unit Development (PUD)
42 Riverfront Lane " f
Matt Pielsticker, Planner II
The Applicant, Aleksandr Sheykhet of OS Architecture, has submitted a revised Final Design
application for the 'Timeshare East` project, located on Lot 1 of the Riverfront Subdivision (the
Project). The siting and building design of the Project are consistent with the building
placements and forms approved with the Riverfront Planned Unit Development (PUD). The
materials, colors, and finishes are to match the Timeshare West project on Lot 3, Riverfront
PUD.
The purpose of this Final Design review is to determine the conformity of the Project with the
applicable design review considerations, and also to agree on the acceptability of the changes
made to the Project since the January 19, 2010 Work Session. Staff is recommending that the
Planning and Zoning Commission approve this Project based on compliance with the Riverfront
Design Standards and PUD zoning standards.
Process
At its August 18, 2008 meeting, the Commission reviewed a Sketch Design for the Project.
After taking feedback into consideration, a Final Design application was reviewed at the
Commission's November 18, 2008 meeting. The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled the
Final Design Application based on the negatively perceived east building elevations and the lack
of architectural variety.
Approximately one year later, the applicant resubmitted revised drawings. The Commission
reviewed the revised submittal at their December 15, 2009 meeting. The revised submittal
again met resistance; it was decided to hold a Work Session to discuss different design options
to address the concerns again raised with the east building elevations and the general
inconsistencies with the design. A Work Session was held at the January 19, 2010 Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting to review design studies provided by the applicant.
The applicant received direction at the Work Session and has now resubmitted an entire new
Final Design plan for review and approval. The specific comments received at the Work
Session were tabulated by the applicant and the course of action to either address or not
address each issue was summarized in a Memorandum to Staff — attached as Exhibit B to this
Staff Report.
At the April 20, 2010 meeting the applicant is seeking Final Design approval for the revised
submittal, dated March 19, 2010. The design meets the intent of the Riverfront Design
Standards and all applicable design review criteria. If approved by the Commission, this design
plan will be valid for two (2) years from the date of the meeting, whereby the property owner will
be able to submit a building permit application no later than April 20, 2012.
Property Description
The Property is a 1.6695 acre parcel on the east end of the Riverfront Subdivision, fronted by
Riverfront Lane. The topography of the site has been modified several times, most recently last
summer when the site was re -graded after being utilized for construction staging for the Westin
and Timeshare West projects. The topography is generally flat and sloping down towards the
river. The grade differential between Riverfront Lane near the proposed northern building
entrance down to the riverfront recreation path is approximately 12 feet.
The Westin Riverfront Hotel and Spa is located immediately to the west of the Project,
Riverfront Lane wraps the north and east sides of the Project, and the ECO Recreation path
borders the south side of the Project. The limits of disturbance encompass the entire lot, and
even extend beyond the property lines with covered walkways during construction to protect the
existing sidewalk on the north and east side of the Project.
Policy Analysis
The Riverfront PUD was reviewed and found to be in accordance with the Goals and Policies of
the Comprehensive Plan. During PUD review the applicant voluntarily applied the then draft
plan goals and policies against the proposed Riverfront PUD, and it was found to be in
conformance.
The Confluence District (District 3) is intended to facilitate an extension of the Town Center with
a "significant residential/lodging component... and direct transit connection access to Beaver
Creek Village and create a connection with the Eagle River."
Planning Principles germane to this application include:
• Design Architecture to be significant form all sides (no front or back), maximize solar
exposure, protect views, and break up building bulk.
• Parking areas, trash containers, and loading or service areas should be screened
and/or buffered from the river corridor.
• Preserve and enhance public access to the existing linear park along the riverbank.
Connections from this path to both the Town Center and !Nottingham Park must be
created in an ecologically sensitive manner as a key natural amenity.
• Create a vibrant mix of uses and creative use of recreation and open space to allow
a unique river experience.
• Develop a vibrant mix of uses consisting of bed -base development and supporting
commercial development.
• Recognize the Confluence District as the most valuable property in Town Limits and
should be developed at its most optimal level.
The Planning Principles explain the development pressure that the site experiences, and the
true value that this Project brings to the Town. Aside from providing obvious public benefits to
the Town (i.e. gondola connection to the resort, dedication of the Riverfront Park parcel), the
architecture of the Project was always envisioned to be imperative as viewed from all
orientations. How this project interacts with the Eagle River side of the development is
important, and that is why the Building Riverside is downscaled to its current size.
Planning Analysis
The Project will be highly visible from several neighboring properties, public ways, and the
Eagle River. In the context with the rest of the Riverfront Village, the massing, height, and
architectural style are appropriate. The building orientation has been slightly changed since
PUD approval to conform to the prescribed building setbacks.
The proposed building materials and colors are identical to those applied to the Timeshare West
building on Lot 3 of the Riverfront Subdivision. Some material applications have changed and
new windows have been added to break up the east elevation of Building East. The
architectural style, massing, height, orientation to street and quality of materials is consistent
with the previous submittal and is appropriate as viewed from neighboring properties. The
following is an analysis of the planning review items:
Allowed use:
A timeshare lodge use located on Lot 1 is consistent with the approved Riverfront PUD.
According to the PUD Development Plan, "Standard Commercial; Incidental Commercial;
Residential/Lodging; Lodging Support Uses; Temporary Uses and Facilities; Public Uses" are all
uses allowed by right, and "Theaters; Churches; other Temporary Facilities" are listed as
Special Review Uses.
Timeshare, vacation ownership, and fractional fee ownership uses are enumerated allowed
uses for 'Residential/Lodging' in the Development Standards; therefore, this proposal is in
conformance with the PUD.
Density:
In total, the PUD allows for up to 456 dwelling units. The Timeshare East Project contains 74
"Dwelling Units", and the two buildings collectively measure approximately 195,000 gross
square feet. This calculation includes both underground structured parking levels (P1 & P2).
The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for all above ground building square footage of this Project is
approximately 2.27:1.
For the purpose of density calculations, a Dwelling Unit is "one (1) or more rooms, including
cooking facilities, intended or designed for occupancy by a family or guests independent of
other families or guests, or (2) An aggregate of Accommodation Units provided as follows a.
Three (3) Accommodation Units shall be counted as one (1) Dwelling Unit, b. Two (2)
Accommodation Units in association with a dwelling unit shall be counted as one dwelling
unit."
Lot Coverage and Site Desi n:
The Applicant is proposing .71 acres of lot coverage for the Project, which is consistent with the
coverage limitation approved by the PUD. The maximum building lot coverage allowed under
the Riverfront PUD is 25% of the entire 18.5 -acre site, or 4.63 acres.
While there have been some minor changes to the site design since Sketch Design and most
recently the Work Session in January, the shape and orientation of the building footprints are
nearly identical with the approved PUD Development Plan. The two buildings are now
connected with an arcade, separated by a gateway feature.
Setbacks:
There is a front ten foot (10') building setback from the Riverfront Lane Right -of -Way, and a zero
(0') side yard setback. All buildings within the Riverfront Subdivision shall be setback from the
river the more restrictive of the following: 1) seventy five feet (75') from the Mean Annual High
Water Mark, or 2) the northern property line of Tract A - the "River Park" parcel.
As submitted with the March 19, 2010 submittal, the Project encroaches into two setbacks: 1)
Setback from Tract A, and 2) Right -of -Way setback. There is a 2' roof overhang encroachment
into the Tract A setback for Building Riverside. This encroachment is permissible. According to
the PUD Development Plan, encroachments for "porches, decks, overhangs, and eaves" are
permissible subject to design review approval. This type of encroachment has been permitted
on other properties in this subdivision and the Commission determined this encroachment to be
acceptable during their last review.
The other encroachment is for two roof overhangs. One overhang is for the newly designed
entrance to the east side of Building East, and the other encroachment is for the front (north)
building entrance. Pursuant to the direction received from the Planning and Zoning Commission
at the January 19, 2010 Work Session, it was the applicant's understanding that the PUD
allowed for up 3' aerial encroachments into this 10' Right -of -Way setback.
The PUD does permit up to a 3' aerial encroachment into this setback, however, this is limited to
one portion of the Westin hotel on Lot 2. Instead of pursuing a PUD Amendment application,
the applicant has submitted revised exhibits (Exhibit C to this Staff Report) to demonstrate
revised roof plans to address bringing the building into conformance with this setback.
_Easements:
There are several easements on this Lot, including: multiple Utility Easements, Utility, Drainage
and Path Easement, temporary construction easements, and a Parking Facility Easement.
Building Hei. hc�t:.
The maximum building height permitted on Lot 1 is 105' for Building East, and 45' for Building
Riverside. This design is in compliance with the prescribed maximum height requirements. The
Building East measures approximately 9$' tall and the Building Riverside is approximately 45' 5"
as proposed.
Parking:
Based on the residential condominium unit type, a ratio of 1.5 parking spaces per residential
unit is required for this Project. Based on 74 units, the total required parking for this Project is
111 spaces. There are 134 stalls provided on the two levels of parking. As required by the
PUD, the underground parking structure on Lot 1 is connected underground to Lot 2 and will be
jointly managed.
Parking has been provided in accordance with the PUD. As outlined above, the parking
provided exceeds that required, and there will be joint management of all on-site parking for
Lots 1, 2, and 3. Loading facilities for Timeshare West and East are also provided on the
Westin Hotel property.
Landscaping:
The design character of the proposed Landscape Plan (Sheets L1 — L7) is a continuation of the
Riverfront Master Landscape Plan, containing a mix of native plant species of varying heights.
All plant material is tolerant to the local climate, consistent with neighboring approvals, and
appropriate for the project. The Landscape Plan maximizes the minimal amount of space
afforded for such.
Lighting:
Pursuant to the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, all light fixtures that exceed the luminosity of a 60 -
watt incandescent bulb (or 1000 lumens) must meet the definition of "full cut-off', per the Avon
Municipal Code.
Staff has determined that the FS2, wall mounted sconce fixture, is non-compliant with the
Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. A revised fixture consistent with the Lighting Ordinance must be
provided for Staff review and approval prior to building permit issuance.
All other lighting is acceptable and in compliance with the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. All of
the proposed light fixture locations and specifications are shown on Sheets E1.EO1 and
Ell. E01 a.
Engineering Analysis
Please refer to Attachment D for a full list of Engineering Department comments for the
proposed development at Lot 1, Riverfront Subdivision. Since the site is nearly entirely
developed, there is limited grading or site layout work to review. The primary concerns lie with
the proposed pull-out on Riverfront Lane adjacent to the east side. Prior plan set submittals
never officially proposed this change to the public right-of-way. The proposed pull-out is a
safety hazard as it does not meet the minimum 115 -foot stopping sight distance according to the
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) publication A
Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 2004. Staff also feels that the operation
of the pull-out will likely create an unsafe U-turn condition from guests entering from Avon Road
and utilizing the pull-out directly.
Other issues encountered during Engineering Department review include the lack of a
Stormwater Management Plan, Lot Setback encroachments (covered under Planning Analysis),
and landscaping shown interfering with fire hydrant clearance specifications.
Numerous minor comments are also shown on Attachment D, such as utility coordination, other
agency approval, encroachments into adjacent lots and rights of way, et cetera. The minor
comments do not greatly affect the site plan and should not be considered at the Final Design
phase. However, the comments must be addressed prior to any permit issuance since those
items affect the construction of the proposed development.
Design Review
The Project is governed by the site-specific Riverfront Design Standards, which were adopted
as part of the Riverfront PUD amendment. The expressed intent of the standards is to create
high quality architectural design through the use of varied roof forms, wall plane articulation, and
quality building materials. Attached to this report as Exhibit A for reference is a copy of the
Riverfront Design Standards.
How this building interacts with the public spaces it surrounds is important given its prominent
location at the "front door' of the Riverfront development. These buildings will be highly visible
from many locations in the Town Core, including from Avon Road.
In addition to the Riverfront Design Standards, the Commission must consider the following
general review criteria from the Town of Avon Residential Commercial and industrial Design
Review Guidelines:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of
the Zoning Code;
2. The general conformance with Goals and Policies of the Town of Avon
Comprehensive Plan, and any sub -area plan which pertains;
3. Whether adequate development rights exist for the proposed improvements;
4. General conformance with the Design Review Guidelines;
5. The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to minimize site
disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or
other significant alteration of existing topography;
6. The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and
neighboring properties and public ways, with respect to architectural style, massing,
height, orientation to street, quality of materials, and colors
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity
that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired; and
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals,
Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon.
Attached to this report are the Riverfront Design Standards. These standards include various
general design criteria, such as:
Criteria II.C.1.a, which requires "rustic materials common in mountain towns and/or a
more contemporary interpretation of these materials. "
Criteria III.C.1.d "Colors should be complementary to the site, and be comprised of
greens, grays, golds, browns, and other earth -tone hues...."
Criteria III.A.5 - Primary roofs will have pitches ranging 4:12 to 8:12. Secondary roofs,
where pitched, shall be a minimum of 2:12.
In addition to some of the more general design review criteria, this Project appears to be in full
compliance with the following, site specific guidelines:
Criteria III.A.4 — "The middles of buildings will be more visually subtle, but broken by
primary and secondary elevation features and material accents that help to avoid
monotonous facades. On any given elevation of Lot 180% of the vertical wall area will
be permitted to be within the same plan, with a minimum of 2 -foot offset for plane
changes...stacked decks and balconies will be considered plane changes."
Criteria I I I.A.7 - Relatively small roof overhangs are encouraged for buildings on Lots I
and 3, which are visually and compositionally related to the Hotel. At these locations the
minimum roof overhang permitted shall be six inches.

DESIGN STANDARDS
February 14, 2006
X. Vision Statement for Riverfront Village
A. Scope of Design Standards
1) The following Design Standards for Riverfront Village have been established to
ensure the overall quality and compatibility of the Village with the Town of Avon
and its riverfront site. In general these Standards shall apply to all buildings and
plaza areas within Riverfront Village, with the exception of the Hotel building, or as
otherwise noted.
2) An important aspect of the Riverfront Village vision is responsible care for the
environment and sustainability of the architecture and landscape. To this end, best
efforts will be made to meet the principles set forth in the LEED (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building System for the Hotel. In
addition, all other buildings within the Village will be designed with sensitivity to the
sustainability aspects of site and architectural design.
B. Architectural Theme
1) Riverfront Village represents an important interface between the Town of Avon
and Beaver Creek Ski Resort. It is envisioned as a lively gathering place connecting
the river, mountain and town- a pedestrian friendly environment where townspeople
and guests can stroll from Avon's western Town Center, through the resort retail
plaza, to ride the gondola up to the mountain or to step down to the river.
2) The village is situated on the seam between the town and the mountain
landscape and should therefore strike a balance between the two environments,
creating an architectural expression that captures both alpine and townscape
traditions. To achieve this balance, the architecture shall take advantage of materials
inherent to successful mountain resort architecture—such as stone, wood, and other
natural materials, combined with more contemporary materials such as stucco, metal,
and recycled products.
3) The Architectural Theme will also feature the use of large areas of glass, clean
building forms based on pure geometries, strong, simple but honest detailing (not
overly rustic, "heavy," or overstated), and the bolder proportions appropriate to the
larger scale of the Town.
C. Design of Public Spaces
Riverfront Village February 14, 2006
Design Standards Page 1 of 6
paving materials, landscaping, and sensitive spatial planning. Spatial planning shall
include components that reinforce the connectivity of the Town to the River, and
avoid elements that act as barriers to this connection, such as planter walls that block
pedestrian flow, landscaping that screens the visual connection between Town and
River, etc.
D. Pedestrian orientation
1) A pedestrian corridor, connecting the town to a retail plaza with gondola, will
gracefully transition from the plaza to the riverfront promenade by way of a staircase
and stepped terraces merging with the natural landscape. This transition will avoid
barriers from the Town to the River, and include elements which reinforce this
connection, including similar paving materials, wide pedestrian ways that encourage
movement, active signage and wayftnding, and a gracious grand stair with oversized
treads and minimal risers.
2) Pathways shall also create a network within the Village itself, linking the different
buildings along the length of the site and providing pedestrian access to defined
access/gathering points along the River. The Plaza and pathways within Riverfront
Village should encourage a pedestrian -friendly environment.
E. View Corridors
1) A primary southern view corridor to the mountains shall be maintained from the
eastern railroad crossing through the public plaza to help reinforce the connection
between the Town and the ski mountain.
2) An east -west view corridor along the Eagle River will also be maintained through
the preservation of a 75 -foot river setback throughout most of the site, with limited
minor encroachments as allowed in the development plan. In addition, the
Riverfront Park will act as a natural corridor along the river edge portion of the
Village and act to enhance this view corridor.
F. The Natural Environment
1) The Eagle River is a primary amenity for the Town of Avon and Riverfront
Village. Links to the River shall be developed as special pedestrian ways to help
activate this wonderful amenity.
2) The 75 -foot river setback will be largely left in its natural state, and certain
defined river access and gathering points should be created along the linear riverfront
path.
3) In general, additional plantings within the river setback will be riparian in
character and relate to plantings indigenous to river edge environments. More
formal planting areas -- such as small sections of lawn, however, axe encouraged at
special gathering and access points to highlight these more formal features. Formal
plantings featuring annuals are not permitted within the 75 -foot setback.
4) In an effort to enhance the natural environment, site walls and site walkways
should become more "organic" as they approach the river edge portion of the
Riverfront Village February 14, 2006
Design Standards Page 2 of 6
Village. Any walls installed south of the bike path shall be limited to boulder
walls. Accessibility shall be considered when designing walkways.
II. Site and Village Guidelines
A. Primary Building Entries
1) Primary building entries shall be emphasized as welcoming portals through
careful attention to massing, scale, and materials. This will ensure that Riverfront
Village will not turn its back to Avon. Portals will be scaled to encourage pedestrian
movement through them—and avoid overwhelming or diminutive massing—and
they will be treated with .materials that enhance this experience. The front doors of
buildings should be treated in interesting ways, either through the use of glass or
special designs and materials that provide interest to these special areas of each
building.
2) Massing of entries shall relate to the overall massing of the buildings but be
presented as special forms different than typical building bays. Sensitivity to scale
should be considered when transitioning from the overall larger building mass to the
more intimate scale of the pedestrian visitor. Designers are encouraged to use
materials in interesting ways at primary building entries to reinforce their unique role
as part of the building and as part of the overall Village stteetscape.
B. Solar Access
1) A solar access study shall be required for buildings exceeding 3 stories in height.
These studies will convey shading impacts at summer and winter solstice Gun 21 and
Dec 21), and at vernal and autumnal equinox (Mar 21 and Sept 21).
C. Site Materials and Colors
1. Plaza materials
a) Rustic materials common in mountain towns and/or a more contemporary
interpretation of these materials such as cut stone pavers, colored concrete pavers,
and stained or colored concrete slabs are appropriate to the Village. Colors shall be
complementary to the site and its architecture, avoiding bright or brilliant hues that
distract from the pedestrian experience.
2. Site walls
a) Site walls shall make use of more contemporary materials such as colored
concrete masonry, stained concrete, board -formed concrete, and similar materials, in
colors complementary to the site and its buildings. Site walls shall relate to plaza
materials and building bases to help visually merge the ground plane around the site.
D. Site Signage – Design, materials, and colors
1) Site signage shall be designed to help animate the plaza and be consistent and
compatible with the design and materiality of the buildings. Site lighting will also be
used to enhance the pedestrian experience at the Plaza level.
Riverfxont Village February 14, 2006
Design Standards Page 3 of 6
III.Architectural Design Guidelines
A. Building Form and Massing
1) In general the form and massing within Riverfront Village will follow the intent
of the Town of Avon Design Guidelines by incorporating form articulation to avoid
the monolithic. However, specific buildings within the Village shall be subject to less
or more stringent requirements relative to building form and massing as identified
within this document to form a coherent, pleasant composition for the entire
neighborhood. 2) Smaller masses, such as portions of the building or elements such
as porte cocheres, etc, will be used to break up the apparent size of larger building
forms. Smaller masses positioned in front of large masses will be used to reduce the
visual dominance of the larger forms.
3) The development of building bases will help to tie together individual buildings
within the Village and will also tie the Village to its riverfront site. Site walls, and
other site features shall relate to building bases in a way that reinforces visual
connectivity to the ground plane. The plaza and gondola terminal, with its
cantilevered structure will stand out as an elevated element from the south, drawing
people up from the river.
4) In general the middles of buildings will be more visually subtle, but broken by
primary and secondary elevation features and material accents that help to avoid
monotonous facades. On any given elevation at Lots 1, 3, and 4, 80 percent of the
vertical wall area will be permitted to be within the same plane, with a minimum of
2 -foot offset for plane changes. Vertical forms comprised of stacked decks and
balconies will be considered plane changes. At Lots 5, 6, and 7, 70 percent of the
vertical wall area will be permitted to be within the same plane.
5) The roofscape of Riverfront Village is also critical to the success of the
neighborhood and its relationship to the Town of Avon. The visual coherency of
the Village should be reinforced through the use of similar roofing materials and
colors throughout the Village, helping to knit the individual buildings together when
seen from, the Gondola or Beaver Creek above.
6) Pitched roofs expressive of an alpine tradition and the incorporation of dormers,
shed roofs and chimney forms, should be employed. Primary roofs will have pitches
ranging from a minimum of 4:12 to a maximum of 8:12. Secondary roofs—such as
at dormers, porte cocheres, building protrusions, and similar additive forms—may be
flat, but only if they are finished in materials similar in quality to roof or wall
materials on the building, such as pavers, colored stone, etc. When secondary roofs
are pitched roofs, the minimum pitch required shall be 2:12. Flat roofs are not
permitted for primary roof forms. Ideally flat roofs should be developed as terraces
and other functional spaces.
7) Given the modern alpine character of the architecture at Riverfront Village,
relatively small roof overhangs are encouraged for buildings on Lots 1 and 3, which
are visually and compositionally related to the Hotel. At these locations the
minimum roof overhang permitted shall be six inches. At other locations within
Riverfront Village the minimum roof overhang shall be 24 inches for primary roofs
and 12 inches at secondary dormers.
Riverfront Village February 14, 2006
Design Standards Page 4 of 6
S) To help ensure that roof ridges for the Village remain interesting and contribute
to the overall success of building massing, uninterrupted ridgelines shall be avoided.
To this end, roof ridgelines are limited to 150 feet before a change in height
(elevation above sea level) is required. These breaks (elevation changes) shall run
horizontally for at least 10% of the overall building ridge length before returning to
the prior elevation. Overall building ridge length is defined as the sum of all primary
ridge lengths for the entire building.
B. Building Height
1) Building heights for the Riverfront Village will be restricted to the heights
described in the approved Development Plan, as measured according to the Town of
Avon Code. Architectural features such as chimneys, cupolas, and other similar
elements will not be included when calculating maximum building height.
2) In addition, the percentage of ridge height allowed at the maximum allowable
building height for any given building will be litnited to 25% of the overall building
ridge length. Overall building ridge length is defined as the sum of all primary ridge
lengths for the entire building.
3) The maximum height for building facades fronting the Public Plaza will be
limited to 75 feet from the Plaza elevation. The only exception to this facade height
limitation shall be for the western facade of the central tower of the hotel, which
shall be permitted to be as tall as 100 ft. from Plaza elevation. This central tower
facade may run horizontally for up to 60 feet along the plaza.
4) The minimum horizontal setback required for building facades exceeding the
maximum height for building facades fronting the Public Plaza will be 2 feet from
the building facade fronting the Public Plaza. This shall only apply to the central
tower portion of the Hotel.
5) The minimum setback required for maximum allowable height per the
Development Standards from the Public Plaza will be 60 feet from building facade
fronting the Plaza
C. Exterior Materials, Detailing, and Colors
1. Materials and colors for walls and roofs at Riverfront Village will have a Light
Reflective Value (LRV) not exceeding 60%.
a) Materials inherent to the mountains, including stone and wood, will be used at
lower levels of buildings in areas of direct pedestrian interface, as well as metals.
These materials should be used in refreshing ways within the Village, reinterpreted
for the urban nature of Avon towards a "mountain modern" character.
b) Stucco conveys mass in a subtle, "quiet" way and is therefore a recommended
material for building middles and tops. However, building accents comprised of
non -stucco materials, such as metal, wood and cement materials replicating wood,
shall be allowed in building middles and tops to help provide interest, except as
prohibited by Codes. When used, stucco shall be carefully detailed to ensure
longevity when it comes near the ground plane at building walls.
Riverfront Village February 14, 2006
Design Standards Page 5 of 6
c) Roof materials will include rubber shingles, asphalt shingles and other materials
suitable for mountain environments. Standing seam metal shall not be used for
primary roof planes, but may be used for small and/or special roof features such as
shed dormers, retail roof forms, Porte cocheres, and other selective roof elements.
d) In general, colors used within the Village should be complementary to the site,
and be comprised of greens, grays, golds, brooms, and other earth -tone hues.
However, due to the desire for a highly activated retail experience at the Plaza level,
the colors used along the retail edges of the Public way may be more vibrant and
active in nature.
2. Minimum window area at plaza level
a) At a minimum, 50% of the 1" level of building facades facing the plaza from the
east and the west shall be glass. For this calculation the plaza shall be deemed to
begin at the northwest corner of the hotel and the northeast corner of timeshare
west and shall terminate at the east -west plane where the staircase down to the river
begins. This calculation shall exclude the gondola terminal, control booth and public
restrooms.

Re:
Lot 1 Riverfront Subdivision Timeshare East Final Design
Below please find Engineering comments on the above -referenced project submittal
dated 3-19-10. The construction staging plans are considered to be conceptual at best and
must be resubmitted by the contractor prior to issuance of any permits for the site.
The following comments must be resolved as a condition to Final Design approval:
1. Sheet Al. 10 — A large pullout or drop-off zone is shown adjacent to Riverfront
Lane station 19+00. The construction of this pull -off is prohibited. According to
A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, AASHTO, 2004, the
stopping sight distance for a 20mph roadway is 115 feet. Due to the curve in
Riverfront Lane and obstruction from building construction and landscaping,
adequate sight distance cannot be provided. The pull -offs may also create an
unsafe U-turn condition immediately east of Lot 1.
2. General — No Erosion Control or Stormwater Control Plan has been provided as
part of this submittal.
3. General — Roof overhangs and balconies are shown projecting into the lot setback
in several locations.
4. Sheet L2.00 — Dense landscaping is shown in the southeast corner of Lot 1 where
Sheet 2.61 shows a fire hydrant. Landscaping must be revised to accommodate
ERWSD fire hydrant clear space specifications.
The following comments must be resolved prior to issuance of ANY permits for the site:
1. General — Grading, stormwater infrastructure, and soil nails are shown
encroaching onto Lot 2 as part of this project. Permission from the Lot 2 property
owner must be obtained prior to permit issuance.
2. Sheet C0.00 — The topographic survey is outdated and does not reflect current site
topography or existing infrastructure.
3. Sheet C2.01 — Since the survey is inaccurate (comment 1) existing and proposed
contours shown on this sheet are meaningless, especially at the north edge of the
site.
4. Sheet C2.01 — The grading in the far southwest corner of the site (7422 contour)
should grade towards the inlet shown on the storm drain run along the property
line.
CADocuments and Settings\mpielsticker\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files10LK36414-14-14 Lot 1 Timeshare East
Eng Comments Final (3).doc 1
5. Sheet C2.61 - Water, sewer, and shallow utility service line (gas, electric,
communications) connections to building are not shown.
6. Sheet C2.61 - The hydrant to be relocated near the north entrance to the north
building will require approval from ERWSD and ERFPD.
7. Sheet C2.61 - Roof drains are not shown tieing into the storm drainage system.
8. Sheet C2.61 - It appears that an additional sanitary sewer manhole and sewer line
will be installed within the public right of way on the east side of the site. This
must be approved by ERWSD. It also appears that the constructed service stub on
the northern site boundary will not be used. This may need to be abandoned per
ERWSD.
9. Sheet C2.61 - No drain for the swimming pool is shown.
10. Sheet C2.61 - Verify the slope of the proposed 18" RCP storm drainage on the
southeast corner of Lot 2. At 10 percent, the uphill manhole will likely be
extremely deep.
11. Sheet L1.00 - The notes refer to an Erosion Control Plan but no plan is provided.
12. Sheet L4.00 - The directional arrows on the "UD" (underdrain) appear to be
pointing the wrong direction.
13. Sheet Al. 10 - The "Flood Line" along the southern property boundary is
incorrectly labeled. The correct name is "75 -foot setback from mean annual high
water line."
14. Sheet E1.E01 - Electrical service/metering for the property is not shown.
15. Sheet GC -1.00 - The northern site perimeter shows a soil nail shoring wall. An
exhibit showing that the soil nails will not affect subsurface utilities must be
provided, as well as approval from all applicable utility companies that the soil
nails will not affect their ability to maintain their installations. Also, if the soil
nails encroach into the Riverfront Lane public right of way, approval from the
Director of Public Works will be required.
16. Sheet GC -1.00 - A detail of the vehicle tracking mat should be provided. A
CDOT-standard stabilized construction entrance is recommended.
17. Sheet GC -1.00 - Add "Soil Nails" to Note 20.
18. Sheet GC -1.00 - It appears that walkway covering and appropriate warning signs
are required for the ECO bike path along the southern property line during Phase
A.
19. Sheet GC -1.01 - Additional warning signage needs to be placed east and west of
the walkway cover on the bike path south of the project to alert path users in
advance of approaching the construction area.
20. Sheet GC -1.02 - Verify that the proposed use of Lot C as a temporary parking
area is allowable per zoning through Town of Avon Community Development.
21. Sheet GC -1.02 - If the use is determined to be allowable, the following must be
provided for Lot C: grading plan, striping plan, drainage plan, stormwater/erosion
control plan, and reclamation plan.
22. Sheet GC -1.02 - Access to the proposed Lot C parking area must be from
Benchmark Road. As shown it is using adjacent property (Lot B).

I. Vision Statement for Riverfront Village
A. Scope of Design Standards
I) The following Design Standards for Riverfront Village have been established to ensure the overall qualityand compatibility ofthe Village with the Tc wn of Avon and its -tverfront site. In general these Standards shall apply to all buildings and plaza areas widish Riverfront Village, with d1e exception of the Hotel building, or as otherwise noted.
2) An important aspect of the Riverfront Village vision is responsible care for the environment and sustainability of the architecture ars landscape. - +
Village p d dscape. [ o this end, best efforts will be, made to meet the principles set forth in the Ll F;13 (Leadership ±n Luer and L;nviroiltnental Design) Green Building System for the Hotel., In o- -' designed - sensitivity . -
of site and architectural design. P g5 g) g ) Addition, all other buildings within the Village will be d signed with sen.stuy±ty to the sustaanabil ty Aspects
B. Architectural Theme
1) Riverfront Village represents an important inters -ace between the Town of Avon and Beaver Creek Ski Resort, It is envisions ,i g g
P d s a lively l,athertng place. connecting the aver, mountain and town- A, pedestrian friendly etivtrorinlc nt where townspeople and guests can stroll fmnl Avon's western - - :r . o- _ .�
1g w .0 n Tatvil Center, through the. resort retail }}laza, to ride. the. gondola up to the mountain or to sus down to the fiver,
2) The village is situated on the seam between the town and the mountain landsca e and should therefore strike a balance � expression ,
p
p between the, tti� o ens iromnents, creating attng <u1 architectural that captures azures both alpine and townscape traditions. I. a achieve this balance The architectures take � _ _ + - - - - , > -
I p p hall take of materials inherent nt _o successful mountain resort architecture -such as stone wood and other natural materials, combined wtt11
more contemporary tnctterials such as stucco, metal, and recycled products.
_ >
3) The Architectural Theme will also feature the use of large areas ol:- Mass clean building forms based of Lire. geometries, a a
g glass, g p g s, strong, simple detailing (tact creel} rustic, heavy," or overstated), arid the bolder proportions appropriate to the larger scats of rise Town.
C, Design of Public Spaces
1 A public plaza will be used to link the Town of Avon to the Ea de River. This link sh) - r ° :

1 p cr, acid avoid elements that a t. as barriers to flus connection, such as tJiatltsr wolfs that bloc(, pedestrian 11ow,
D, Pedestrian orientation
1) A pedestrian corridor, connecting the town to a retail plaza with gondola, will gracefully ttansitian front the plana to fitriverfrant promenade b way of a staircase and stepped terraces merging with the natural landscape. This transition wt_1 avoid bar,._crs frovl the Town to the Diver, and include elements which reinforce
this connection including simzlarp< tving nlaterrals, wide pedestrian ways that encourage movcmc nt, activesignage send wayfinding, and a gracious grand stair -with oversized treads andminimal risers.
2) Pathways shall also create a network within the Village itself, linking the different buildingsalong the length f h= o -' � The Plaza g a g g 1a o the site and providing pedestrian access to defined access/gathering points along t}ae River. lhe. Plaza and pathways vv±filth Rtverfront Village should encourage ie pedestrian -friendly environment.
1-'1. View Corridors
1) A primary southern view corridor to the mountains shall be maintained from the eastern railroad crossing through the public plaza to help reinforce the connection between the Town and the ski mountain.
2) An east -west view corridor along the Eagle River will also be maintained -through the reservation of a 75 -foot river setback throughout r
Eagle g p o shout most of tI e site, with limited minor encroachments a„ Allowed in the development plats. In addition, the Riverfront Park will act as a natural corridor along the river edge portion of the Village and act to enhance this view corridor.
F. The Natural Inviroinnent
1) The Eagle River is a primary, ametrity for th.e']'own. of Avon and Riverfront Village. Links to the River shall be developed as special pedestrian ways to help activate this wonderful amenity,
2) The 75 -foot rivet setback will be largely left in. its natural state, and certain defined river access and gathering points should be created along the linear riverfi-ont path,
3) In general, additional plantings within the river setback will be riparian in character and relate to plantings indigenous to river edge environments. More form o __ 1 A :
p p � g g al planttr7., areas such as sinal sections of lawn, Ix)vvc vex, arc, encouraged at special gathering and access points to highlight these more forml features. Formal plantings featuring annuals are not permitted w±fln the
75 -feat setback.
4) In an effort to enhance the natural environment, site walls and site walkways should become more "organic" as they approach file river edge portion of the Village. Any walls installed south ofthe bike path shall be limited to boulder wails. Accessibility shall be considered when designing walkways.
It. Site and Village Guidelines
A, Primary Building Entries
1) Primary building entries shall be emphasized as welcoming portals through careful attention, to massing,scale, and materials. This will ensure that Riverfront Village will not turn its back to Avon. o
g Portals will be scaled to encourage pedestrian movement through them -and avoid overwhelming or diminutive massing -and they will be treated with materials that enhance this experience. The front doors of building>bs should be
treated in interesting ways, either through the use of glass or special designs and materials that provide .interest to these special areas of each building.
2) Massing of entries shall relate to the overall massing of the buildings but be presented asspecial forms different than typical building bays. Sensitivity to scale should be considered when tr-ansiuont;ng from the overall larger buildrtag mass to the more intimate scale of the pedestrian visitor. Designers are encouraged to use amatsnals u1 interest ng ways at primary building entries to reinforce their unique role as part of the
building and as part of the over-allVillagestreetsc.ape.
B. Solar Access
1) A solar access study shall be required for buildings exceeding 3 stories in height. 'Chess studies will convey shading impacts at summer and winter solstice (jun 21 and Dec 21), and at vernal and autumnal equinox (Mar- 21 and Sept 21).
C- Site Materials and Colors
1. Plaza materials
a) Rustic materials common in mountain towns and/or a mare contemporary interpretation of these materials such as cut stone pavers colored concrete avers and stained or colored t i i :
2. Site walls
1 p d co zcxetc slabs are appropriate to the Village. Colors shall be complementary to the site and its -architecture, avoiding bright or brilliant hues that distract from the pedestrian sxperienceat e le
a) Site walls shall make f a1 1
use o more contemporary maters s suc 1 as colored concrete masonry, stained concrete, board -formed concrete„ and similar materials, in colors complementary to the site Audits buildings. Site walls shall relate to plaza materials and building bases to help visually merge the ground plane around the site.
D, Site Signage - Design, materials, and colors
1) Site signage shall be designed to help animate the plaza and be consistent and compatible with the design and materiality of the buildings. Site lighting will also be used to enhance the pedestrian experience at the Plaza level.
III. Architectural Design Guidelines
A. Building Form and Massing
1) In general the forum and massing within Riverfront Village will follow, the intent of the Town of Avon Design Guidelines by incorporating
g g ) form articulation to Avoid the monolithic. However, specific buildings within the Village shall be subject to less or more stringent requirements relative 1 g �, ) g q c alive to building forth and massing as identified within this document to form a coherent pleasant composition for the entire neighborhood.
21 Smaller masses, such as portions of the building or elements such as ports cochsres, etc, will be used to break up the apparent size of larger building forms. Smaller masses positioned in front of lar<re masses will be used to reduce the � ' _ - _ o-=- ' �•

A) Materials inherent to the mountains, including stone and wood, will be used at lower levels of buildings in areas of direct pedestrian interface a' -
;, p as as metals. These materials should be used in tetreshmg ways within the Village, reinterpreted for the urban names of Avon towards a"mountain modern" character.

I. Vision Statement for Riverfront Village
A. Scope of Design Standards
I) The following Design Standards for Riverfront Village have been established to ensure the overall qualityand compatibility ofthe Village with the Tc wn of Avon and its -tverfront site. In general these Standards shall apply to all buildings and plaza areas widish Riverfront Village, with d1e exception of the Hotel building, or as otherwise noted.
2) An important aspect of the Riverfront Village vision is responsible care for the environment and sustainability of the architecture ars landscape. - +
Village p d dscape. [ o this end, best efforts will be, made to meet the principles set forth in the Ll F;13 (Leadership ±n Luer and L;nviroiltnental Design) Green Building System for the Hotel., In o- -' designed - sensitivity . -
of site and architectural design. P g5 g) g ) Addition, all other buildings within the Village will be d signed with sen.stuy±ty to the sustaanabil ty Aspects
B. Architectural Theme
1) Riverfront Village represents an important inters -ace between the Town of Avon and Beaver Creek Ski Resort, It is envisions ,i g g
P d s a lively l,athertng place. connecting the aver, mountain and town- A, pedestrian friendly etivtrorinlc nt where townspeople and guests can stroll fmnl Avon's western - - :r . o- _ .�
1g w .0 n Tatvil Center, through the. resort retail }}laza, to ride. the. gondola up to the mountain or to sus down to the fiver,
2) The village is situated on the seam between the town and the mountain landsca e and should therefore strike a balance � expression ,
p
p between the, tti� o ens iromnents, creating attng <u1 architectural that captures azures both alpine and townscape traditions. I. a achieve this balance The architectures take � _ _ + - - - - , > -
I p p hall take of materials inherent nt _o successful mountain resort architecture -such as stone wood and other natural materials, combined wtt11
more contemporary tnctterials such as stucco, metal, and recycled products.

3) The Architectural Theme will also feature the use of large areas ol:- Mass clean building forms based of Lire. geometries, a a
g glass, g p g s, strong, simple detailing (tact creel} rustic, heavy," or overstated), arid the bolder proportions appropriate to the larger scats of rise Town.
C, Design of Public Spaces
1 A public plaza will be used to link the Town of Avon to the Ea de River. This link sh) - r ° :

D, Pedestrian orientation
1) A pedestrian corridor, connecting the town to a retail plaza with gondola, will gracefully ttansitian front the plana to fitriverfrant promenade b way of a staircase and stepped terraces merging with the natural landscape. This transition wt_1 avoid bar,._crs frovl the Town to the Diver, and include elements which reinforce
this connection including simzlarp< tving nlaterrals, wide pedestrian ways that encourage movcmc nt, activesignage send wayfinding, and a gracious grand stair -with oversized treads andminimal risers.
2) Pathways shall also create a network within the Village itself, linking the different buildingsalong the length f h= o -' � The Plaza g a g g 1a o the site and providing pedestrian access to defined access/gathering points along t}ae River. lhe. Plaza and pathways vv±filth Rtverfront Village should encourage ie pedestrian -friendly environment.
1-'1. View Corridors
1) A primary southern view corridor to the mountains shall be maintained from the eastern railroad crossing through the public plaza to help reinforce the connection between the Town and the ski mountain.
2) An east -west view corridor along the Eagle River will also be maintained -through the reservation of a 75 -foot river setback throughout r
Eagle g p o shout most of tI e site, with limited minor encroachments a„ Allowed in the development plats. In addition, the Riverfront Park will act as a natural corridor along the river edge portion of the Village and act to enhance this view corridor.
F. The Natural Inviroinnent
1) The Eagle River is a primary, ametrity for th.e']'own. of Avon and Riverfront Village. Links to the River shall be developed as special pedestrian ways to help activate this wonderful amenity,
2) The 75 -foot rivet setback will be largely left in. its natural state, and certain defined river access and gathering points should be created along the linear riverfi-ont path,
3) In general, additional plantings within the river setback will be riparian in character and relate to plantings indigenous to river edge environments. More form o __ 1 A :
p p � g g al planttr7., areas such as sinal sections of lawn, Ix)vvc vex, arc, encouraged at special gathering and access points to highlight these more forml features. Formal plantings featuring annuals are not permitted w±fln the
75 -feat setback.
4) In an effort to enhance the natural environment, site walls and site walkways should become more "organic" as they approach file river edge portion of the Village. Any walls installed south ofthe bike path shall be limited to boulder wails. Accessibility shall be considered when designing walkways.
It. Site and Village Guidelines
A, Primary Building Entries
1) Primary building entries shall be emphasized as welcoming portals through careful attention, to massing,scale, and materials. This will ensure that Riverfront Village will not turn its back to Avon. o
g Portals will be scaled to encourage pedestrian movement through them -and avoid overwhelming or diminutive massing -and they will be treated with materials that enhance this experience. The front doors of building>bs should be
treated in interesting ways, either through the use of glass or special designs and materials that provide .interest to these special areas of each building.
2) Massing of entries shall relate to the overall massing of the buildings but be presented asspecial forms different than typical building bays. Sensitivity to scale should be considered when tr-ansiuont;ng from the overall larger buildrtag mass to the more intimate scale of the pedestrian visitor. Designers are encouraged to use amatsnals u1 interest ng ways at primary building entries to reinforce their unique role as part of the
building and as part of the over-allVillagestreetsc.ape.
B. Solar Access
1) A solar access study shall be required for buildings exceeding 3 stories in height. 'Chess studies will convey shading impacts at summer and winter solstice (jun 21 and Dec 21), and at vernal and autumnal equinox (Mar- 21 and Sept 21).
C- Site Materials and Colors
1. Plaza materials
a) Rustic materials common in mountain towns and/or a mare contemporary interpretation of these materials such as cut stone pavers colored concrete avers and stained or colored t i i :
2. Site walls
1 p d co zcxetc slabs are appropriate to the Village. Colors shall be complementary to the site and its -architecture, avoiding bright or brilliant hues that distract from the pedestrian sxperienceat e le
a) Site walls shall make f a1 1
use o more contemporary maters s suc 1 as colored concrete masonry, stained concrete, board -formed concrete„ and similar materials, in colors complementary to the site Audits buildings. Site walls shall relate to plaza materials and building bases to help visually merge the ground plane around the site.
D, Site Signage - Design, materials, and colors
1) Site signage shall be designed to help animate the plaza and be consistent and compatible with the design and materiality of the buildings. Site lighting will also be used to enhance the pedestrian experience at the Plaza level.
III. Architectural Design Guidelines
A. Building Form and Massing
1) In general the forum and massing within Riverfront Village will follow, the intent of the Town of Avon Design Guidelines by incorporating
g g ) form articulation to Avoid the monolithic. However, specific buildings within the Village shall be subject to less or more stringent requirements relative 1 g �, ) g q c alive to building forth and massing as identified within this document to form a coherent pleasant composition for the entire neighborhood.
21 Smaller masses, such as portions of the building or elements such as ports cochsres, etc, will be used to break up the apparent size of larger building forms. Smaller masses positioned in front of lar<re masses will be used to reduce the � ' _ - _ o-=- ' �•

C. Exterior Materials, Detailing, and Colors
1, Materials and colors for walls and roofs at Riverfront Village vvill have a Light Reflective Value (LRy7) not exceeding 60
A) Materials inherent to the mountains, including stone and wood, will be used at lower levels of buildings in areas of direct pedestrian interface a' -
;, p as as metals. These materials should be used in tetreshmg ways within the Village, reinterpreted for the urban names of Avon towards a"mountain modern" character.
b) Stucco conveys mass in a subtle, "quiet" way and is therefore a recommended material for building middles and tops. however, building accents comprised of non -stucco material- r ,
p g p s, such as metal, wood and cement materials repltcanng wood, shall be allowed m bwldxng middles and tops to help provide interest, except as prohibited by Codes. `Ul1et1 used, stucco shall be carefully detailed to ensure longevity when it comes
near the ground plane at building walls.
c) Roof materials will include rubber shingles, asphalt shingles and other materials suitable for mountain environments. Standingseam metal shall not be used for primary roof lanes but may be used for small and/or p p y /c special roof features such as shed dormers, retail roof forms, poste cochsres, and other selective roof elements.
d) In general, colors used within the Village should be complementary to the site, and be comprised of greens, grays, golds, browns, and other earth -tone hues. However, due to the desire for a highly activated retail experience at the 1<z
