Ordinances:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 97-5, Series .of 1997, AN ORDINANCE
APPROVING THE COURT AT STONEBRIDGE, PUD AMENDMENT NO. 1, TRACT B;
EAGLEBEND SUBDIVISION, FILING NO. 3, TOWN OF AVON, EAGLE COUNTY,
COLORADO
Director of Community Development Mike Matzko reviewed the
Ordinance. Matzko stated this PUD amendment relocates the
building footprints of five un-constructed units in the
Stonebridge townhome development. A common private driveway will
serve the'five residential units. Each unit will have an
attached-garage and a walled courtyard. P & Z reviewed and
approved the PUD application, and recommends approval by Council.
Councilor Yoder assumed none of the neighbors complained about
the proposal. Matzko stated that is correct. The,project is
designed to be completed in a way that is compat-ible with the
existing development.
Councilor Benson asked how well will the proposed buildings blend
with the existing buildings - same type of design or slightly
different. -Matzko stated slightly different but, generally very
similar - the same architectural details, with some variation of
materials. The same architect designed the proposed buildings.
Mayor Fawcett asked if the original PUD provided for these units.
Matzko stated yes, it is the same number of units. Mayor Fawcett
asked if the PUD survives forever. Matzko stated unless it is
amended or superseded, in this case this is an amendment. Mayor
Fawcett asked,'although they take no action, the PUD stays viable
twenty years from now? Matzko stated there is a vesting
provision by state statute - it is three years unless we
specifically grant further vested rights.
• 0
Mayor Fawcett asked, just for three years? Matzko stated yes.
Mayor Fawcett asked, so there is not really a PUD in effect for
these? In other words, this isn't an amendment, this is a new
PUD? Matzko stated we are treating this as an amendment to a PUD
with the assumption that the zoning remains in place. Town
Attorney John Dunn stated once the Ordinance is adopted the
Ordinance remains and would require some affirmative act of
Council to undo the Ordinance. Matzko clarified - this is a
zoning action. And, zoning is not a vested property right, it is
actually the construction of the building. There are no building
permits outstanding but, since the PUD, as the zone district
requires a development plan, it is treated a little bit
differently than say a project over here in the town center zone
district. They still have to receive final design approval,
which is the site specific development plan, and a building
permit. Mayor Fawcett stated he is trying to determine whether
there is still zoning, by the old PUD, on the property. Matzko
stated, in his opinion, yes.
Councilor Benson motioned to approve on first reading Ordinance
No. 97-5, Series of 1997. Councilor Gilman seconded the motion.
Mayor Fawcett called for a roll call vote.
The motion carried unanimously.
