TC Minutes 04-27-1999• 0 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL HELD APRIL 27, 1999 A regular meeting of the Town of Avon, Colorado was held in the Municipal Building, 400 Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado in the Council Chambers. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Judy Yoder at 5:30 PM. A roll call was taken with Councilors Jim Benson, Debbie Buckley, Rick Cuny, Mac McDevitt, Buz Reynolds, and Mayor Protem Bob McIlveen present. Also present were Town Manager Bill Efting, Town Attorney Burt Levin, Assistant Town Manager Larry Brooks, Town Clerk Kris .Nash, Police Chief Jeff Layman, Town Planner George Harrison, Public Works Superintendent Bob Reed, Recreation Director Meryl Jacobs, Fire Chief Charlie Moore, Marketing Specialist Michelle Frongillo, and Town Engineer Norm Wood as well as members of the press and public. Ordinances: First Reading of Ordinance No. 99-08, Series of 1999, An Ordinance Approving an Amendment to the Wildridge PUD and Approving the Point View PUD Development Plan and Development Standards, for Lot 111, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado Town Planner George Harrison stated Ordinance 99-08 is a PUD amendment that would allow Lot l l l,.a multi family lot, to be subdivided into five single family homes and allow for two lock-off units to be spread out within the project should the applicant desire. Mayor Yoder questioned parking spaces for the lock off units. The PUD map doesn't show extra parking spaces. Mr. Mark Donaldson, representative of the applicants Andy Hadley and Michael Berry, stated the five single family lots are planned with up to three car garages. The two employee housing units were not part of the application nor requested. They were purely staff driven. They were added just to get through the approval process. Mr. Donaldson stated the lot is currently zoned for seven units, we are proposing five units. We propose to upgrade the development of the subdivision for our benefits in exchange to down zoning. Councilor Reynolds asked if it would be possible to change the 10 foot side setbacks to 12 feet. Mr. Donaldson stated it is possible. This is an enclave development project. The proximity of one home to another is not as important as it would be if it were just abutting an unknown neighbor with general zoning restrictions. E • Councilor Benson questioned the size of the lot. Mr. Donaldson stated 1.13 acres. Councilor Benson questioned the size of the homes. Mr. Donaldson stated the homes are restricted to 4500 square feet, which means we may be able to allow for basements. Mr. Andy Hadley, applicant, stated he did not feel the market would allow for a 4500 square foot home and would like to keep them between 3000 and 3500 square feet. He felt the 1500 square foot reduction to meet the P&Z concerns was adequate. Mr. Jack Hunn stated he is a 16 year resident of Wildridge and past P&Z Commission member. As a P&Z member, they had a lot of discussion about this over the years. The opportunity to change the zoning on a multi family lot is a privilege to the property owner. There are potential impacts to neighboring properties. It was our belief (P&Z) that if this were allowed an important criteria would be a reduction in density. We felt that was a fair trade off for improving the zoning and development opportunity. Mr. Hunn encouraged the Council to consider the precedent their decision will set and restrict the density to the requested five units, not allowing the additional two units. Councilor Reynolds wanted Councils opinion on increasing the side setbacks to 12 feet. Councilor Reynolds stated the 12 feet would allow for more view corridors and less of a cluster look. Mr. Donaldson stated they have worked with the fire department and they are comfortable with the 20 feet between the buildings. (Mr. Donaldson stepped away from microphone and not transcribable.) Councilor Reynolds stated he would like to see the larger setback because they will be setting a precedent. Mr. Donaldson stated the criteria for this application is the topography, the lineal feet of street frontage, the compatibility with neighboring development. Fie stated the compatibility with neighboring developments is their strongest point. Mayor Yoder confirmed that Mr. Donaldson did not want to change the setback to 12 feet. Mr. Donaldson stated he did not. Mr. Donaldson stated the reason they are going through the PUD process is because a resolution was passed in 1986 stating there cannot be less than a triplex building on a multi-family lot in Wildridge. Mayor Yoder did not feel they would be setting a precedent because every other lot would have to request a PUD change. Councilor Benson motioned approval of Ordinance No. 99-08, Series of 1999 with the deletion of the two lock off units. Councilor Buckley seconded the motion. There being no further discussion, Mayor Yoder asked for a roll call. • • The motion carried unanimously. Resolutions: Resolution No. 99-14, Series of 1999, A Resolution of the Town of Avon, Colorado Exempting Designated Areas from the Off-Street Parking Requirement of Chapter 17.24 Town Attorney Levin stated this resolution designates the areas in the Town that would allow commercial development, with the exception of the IC (industrial commercial) zones, to request the Payment in Lieu of Off Street Parking. The resolution is required by Ordinance No. 99-05 as passed on second reading at the April 13, 1999 Council meeting. Councilor Cuny asked the dollar amount per space. Mr. Levin stated it starts at $30,000 per space and automatically increases annually with the CPI. Mr. Levin stated the ordinance states it is the Council's decision whether to take the payment in lieu of parking or require the actual parking. Councilor Reynolds motioned approval of Resolution No. 99-14, Series of 1999. Councilor McDevitt seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
