Re: Minor Project — Color Change
Introduction:
HEART d the VALLEY
I I
Paul Doughty, the applicant, is proposing to paint the single-family residence located at
0095 Post Boulevard. The home is constructed primarily with rounded faux log siding,
with some areas of stone siding. The proposal is to paint over the weathered stain that
exists on the structure.
The application proposes to paint the wood siding of the residence with "Red Velvet". A
color sample from the manufacturer will be available for review. Attached to this
Memorandum are photographs of the building and an aerial vicinity map for orientation.
Design Guidelines:
The intent of the guidelines is to provide architectural control to ensure that the
architectural design of structures and their materials and colors are visually
harmonious with the town's overall appearance, with surrounding development,
and with natural and existing landforms. The Design Guidelines require "Indigenous
natural or earth tones" for all residential construction in Town.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission Deny this application
based on the following findings of fact:
1. The proposed color ("Red Velvet") is not indigenous natural or earth tone.
2. The appearance of the proposed color will have a negative visual appearance as
viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
3. The improvements will be too dissimilar to others in the vicinity and aesthetic
values will be impaired.

Report date October 1, 2010
Project type Single Family Residence
Legal description Lot 8, Western Sage PUD, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning Wildridge PUD
Address 5767 Wildridge Road
Summary of Request
Jeffrey Manley, of Martin -Manley Architects, has submitted a Sketch Design application on behalf
of the property owner, Les Boris, for the development of a new five bedroom, single-family home
on the property described above. A vicinity map (Exhibit A) and reduced plan set (Exhibit B) are
attached to this report.
The Sketch Plan Review process requires the Planning and Zoning Commission to provide
feedback to the Applicant on the proposed development and design of the home, based upon the
applicable sections of The Town of Avon Residential, Commercial and Industrial Desiqn
Guidelines. The Applicant will make a presentation at the hearing and full size (24" x 36") plan sets
will be available for the Commission's review
Background
The project is located on Lot 8 of the Western Sage Subdivision and subject to the Western Sage
PUD development standards. The PUD was approved with eight single family lots in 2006. The
proposed project complies with the Western Sage PUD Development Standards.
The Planning and Engineering staff met with the Applicant on multiple occasions to discuss the
project, including some technical issues related to the driveways, which have since been
addressed to the satisfaction of staff.
Property Description
The Property is 1.2 acres in size, or 52,315 sq ft, and is zoned for a single-family residence. The
Property contains areas, primarily located adjacent to the road, with steep slopes of 50% and
greater. There is an existing benched access approximately 10' wide that may have been part of
an old ranch road. Below the benched area grades exceed 40% for the duration of the building
envelope. The Property is surrounded by single-family and duplex homes of varying size and
configuration. All of the Western Sage Lots are zoned solely for single-family homes, while all of
the surrounding properties in the vicinity are zoned for duplexes.
Planning Analysis
The proposed single-family structure is 7,097 sq ft which includes a 961 sq ft garage. The
maximum site coverage is 50%, and the applicant is proposing a total building footprint area of
4,295 sq ft, including overhangs, which amounts to 8.2% of the total lot area.
The minimum landscape area required is 25% of the Lot, or 13,079 sq ft, and the applicant is
proposing a landscape area of 86%, or 40,341 sq ft. The total impervious surface, including the
building footprint, driveway and roof area is 6,405 sq ft, which equates to 12.2% of the lot area.
The project also conforms to the maximum building height of thirty-five feet (36).
The required snow storage area, 20% of the driveway area, or 446 sq ft, is being adhered to with
the proposal. All retaining walls over four -feet (4') in height will be engineered. All exterior lighting
is Dark Sky compliant in keeping with Ordinance No. 04-19, Series of 2004 (Chapter 15.30
Outdoor Lighting, AMC).
Engineering Analysis
There are no technical items that must be addressed with this Sketch Design application.
Design Review Considerations
The proposed Sketch Design application adheres to the applicable sections of the Town of Avon
Residential, Commercial and Industrial Guidelines.
The proposed building materials thus far include stone, cedar wood siding, asphalt shingles, and
stucco. Color and material specifications are required at Final Design, however; the Commission
should provide feedback to the applicant during this Sketch Design Review regarding the proposed
architecture, massing, materials, and general site design using the information provided at this
time.
