RE: New Bronze Locations in East Avon
Background
At the August 20, 2013 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) discussed a
potential application for new bronze locations on various properties in East Avon. The
locations discussed were on a variety of town -owned parcels: Tract E (Avon Road Right -of -
Way) and Lot 65-A (Benchmark Road Right -of -Way); and, private property: Lot 65-B (The
Annex building) and Tract Q (Benchmark Shopping Center). The discussion centered on the
locations and the PZC authority to review locations of bronzes, the type of bronze, and the
related improvements for the bronzes.
The Applicant, Mark Kihle, has requested a work session with the PZC to begin the
discussion, solicit feedback, and have time to alleviate concerns expressed by the PZC. Once
the application is complete a formal staff analysis will be provided.
Review Authority
Resolution 02-58 (Exhibit A) provides the frame -work for review of all future public art
locations. This resolution provides authority for the Avon Arts Council to "rotate artwork
among existing approved and improved locations and to establish new locations" as well as
the PZC to "review and approve how the public art (including statuary) is installed, which
includes the specific location(s) and placement(s), the appearance of pedestals, bases and
pads so as to conform with Town streetscape design guidelines, landscaping and lighting."
Currently the Avon Arts Council is defunct therefore the responsibility of this body would
revert back to the Town Council until such time as the Town Council designates another
body or re-establishes the Arts Council to perform these duties.
The PZC also has the authority through Title 7, Development Code, to review bases, lighting
and other related improvements for art locations on private property. These improvements
are either governed by the "Outdoor Lighting Ordinance" or the Development and Design
Review processes that regulates development and landscaping.
Staff Analysis
The Application (Exhibit B) illustrates the proposed locations, base sizes and designs, and bronze
sizes and designs. The Applicant has indicated that some or all of the bronzes will be illuminated,
but has yet to finalize those details and plans to return at a future meeting with those plans.

Town Staff has walked the locations both internally and with the Applicant to discuss the
potential locations' property owner as well as design or locational concerns. It does appear that
the following art locations are as follows:

* Specific location needs to be verified by a more detailed site plan
Based upon an initial review of the locations staff has conveyed the following concerns to the
applicant:
1. Location A will need a detailed site plan to ensure that a minimum clearance of 36"
exists for pedestrian movements around the art piece;
2. Location C will need a detailed site plan to ensure it is located adjacent to the sidewalk
to ensure it remains out of the site distance triangle for vehicular movements; and,
3. Location D will need a detailed site plan to confirm the property it is located on and to
ensure that it is either: (a) removed from the detention pond; or, (b) if placed in the
detention pond that the detention pond is enlarged to ensure it complies with code
requirements for size.
After the image of each proposed location in Exhibit B, the Applicant has provided dimensions
for both the required base and the art piece. The Applicant plans on matching the stone veneer
of the bases for Locations A, C, E, and H with that used for the steps adjacent to Location A
(southeast corner of the Avon Road and Benchmark Road roundabout). The other locations will
have bases consisting of slabs of stone that the bronzes will be affixed to. Location G will be
sited on the grass, but is proposed to have a small retaining wall to level the surface for the
bronze placement. Staff does request additional information related to the location and height
of this retaining wall to ensure it does not impact the Town Right -of -Way or other easements as
well as meets Town Codes.
Comprehensive Plan
The Design Review process contains a review criterion that requires a design to reflect the long
range goals and design criteria from the Avon Comprehensive Plan and other applicable,
adopted plan documents. Staff has identified the following Comprehensive Plan Goals and
Polices that are related to public art:
Policy D.1.4: Create a unified and cohesive physical framework and community image by
ensuring compatible building orientation, scale, massing, siting, street alignments, streetscape
furnishings, signage, lighting, etc.
Policy D.2X Beautify the town with street trees, sidewalks, landscaping and public art.
Policy D.3.5: Develop a plan for appropriate community -wide art installations.
Policy D.3.6: Maintain existing elements that contribute or reflect the heritage of the community
and include forms and materials that reflect this heritage in new designs.
September 3, 2013 PZC Meeting — Public Art and Bronzes Work Session Page 2 of 3
Policy E.3.9: Identify and honor cultural and heritage sites with elements such as museums,
interpretive parks, markers, memorials, fountains, sculptures, statues, signage, banners,
informational kiosks, public art, and/or flags.
In addition, the East Town Center District Plan identifies the following planning principals related
to public art:
• Incorporate civic art into public infrastructure projects such as bridges, transit systems,
highways, roadways, or water features.
• Work with surrounding landowners to implement a rich streetscape pattern that will
complement The West Town Center District.
Review Criteria
The PZC shall use the following review criteria as the basis for recommendations on the
Application:
§7.16.o8o(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.ogo, 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.ogo(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.
Staff Recommendation
The PZC should provide feedback to the Applicant so that any concerns can be addressed
prior to a complete submittal and review before the PZC at the September 17, 2013 meeting.
