RE: RESOLUTION 86-19
Special Review Use
Lots 16 and 17, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Colorado Mountain Express has applied for Special Review Use approval for
office, vehicle repair, and outside storage (off-site parking) on Lots 16
and 17, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. Lot 16 is the developed portion
of the Avon Business Service Center on the west side of Metcalf Road and
Lot 17 is the adjacent undeveloped lot on the south. Lots 16 and 17 are
zoned IC (Industrial and Commercial). The proposed uses are allowed in the
IC Zone District if approved as a Special Review Use.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the requested
Special Review Use. The only response at the public hearing was a letter
opposing the proposed uses from the owners of the two lots north of Lot 16.
A copy of the letter is attached for your information and consideration.
Following the public hearing, the Commission reviewed the Special Review Use
request in conjunction with a site plan for the parking area on Lot 17.
Following the review, the Commission adopted Resolution 86-6 approving the
Special Review Use request and recommending Town Council approval. The
approval was contingent upon:
1. Construction of site improvements on Lot 17, Block 1, Benchmark at
Beaver Creek as approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission; and
2. The recording of a lease, with the Clerk and Recorder of Eagle County,
Colorado, for Lot 17, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, that is
perpetual in nature and runs for the duration of the proposed use
requiring the off-site parking and operable vehicle storage.
Resolution 86-19 confirms the Planning and Zoning Commission approval subject
to the same conditions.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt Resolution 86-19.

Gentlemen:
The undersigned is an owner of Lots 14 and 15, Block 1,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek together with Katharine J. Boyer,
Jocelyn M. Boyer and Diane J. Boyer.
As owners of two lots-'adjacent to Lots 16 and 17, Block 1,
we object strenuously to the the request by Colorado Mountain
Express to have the zoning changed on these lots in order
to allow them to use the property for "vehicular Maintenance
and Outside Vehicular Storage.
We believe that this land was intended to be used for
office space, retail space and light warehousing. Any use such
as that proposed by the applicant will seriously affect the value
of the adjacent properties by downgrading the entire area.
Yours very truly,
/ Georges M. Boyer

STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 10/21/36
Lots 16 & 17, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Special Review Use for Office Space, Vehicular Repair,
Outside Vehicular Storage, and Off-Site Parking
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
Colorado Mountain Express has applied for Special Review Use approval for office
space, vehicular repair and outside vehicular storage on Lots 16 and 17, Block 1,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek. The Avon Business Service Center is located on
Lot 16, Block 1, which is in the IC Zone District.
Allowed uses in the IC Zone District are:
Warehouse, laboratories, electrical substation, light manufacturing plants,
wholesale sale outlets, showrooms, industrial, construction and wholesale
offices, accessory building.
Special Review Uses consist of:
Residential unit when used in conjunction with business operation,
automotive or other vehicular sales and repair shops, retail sales and
personal service outlets, restaurants, public uses, outside storage
areas, general commercial offices.
The applicant proposes to operate their van/limousine service from offices in
the Avon Business Service Center, which will also house a vehicular maintenance
operation which will service their fleet of vehicles. They also propose to
construct a vehicular parking lot and storage yard on Lot 17, which is south
of the existing Service Center. The storage yard will be used for vehicle
storage as well as employee parking. The landscaping, grading and screening
of this storage area is shown on a plan submitted with this application.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Avon Business Service Center was originally approved as a 5 building project
with 106 parking spaces all to be located on Lots 16 and 17, Block 1. The
project was originally approved as 55% warehouse and 45% office space. To date,
2 buildings, 38 parking spaces and 2 loading spaces have been constructed on
Lot 16. Lot 17 is currently undeveloped with the exception of some minor grading.
The 2 existing buildings contain a total of approximately 17,000 square feet.
Parking requirements for this amount of space, calculated according to the
55%-45% mix of warehouse and office space respectively, amount to 31 spaces.
There are currently 38 parking §paces on-site. The parking lot and storage
yard that the applicant proposed to construct on Lot 17, should mitigate any
parking concerns that may arise from the approval of the proposed uses. This
proposed parking lot will be capable of holding at-least 30 vehicles.

Lots 16 & 17, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Special Review Use for Office Space, Vehicular Repair,
Outside Vehicular Storage, and Off-Site Parking
Public Hearing
Page 2 of 3
The proposed parking lot and storage yard covers an area of approximately
136' x 54'. It will be screened by a 6' high fence to be constructed of chain
link material covered with continuous wood slats stained to match the existing
buildings. The surface of the parking lot will be asphalt. There are proposed
to be 3, 20' high pole mounted, high pressure sodium light fixtures to light the
parking lot. An access will be provided off the existing driveway on Lot 16,
and the lot will have a pair of wood gates for security. Plans call for a
filter gallery on two sides of the lot to treat the runoff, and the applicant
proposes to screen the fence by using cottonless cottonwood and redtwig dogwood
trees and serviceberry shrubs, placed in various locations around the lot.
Since the subdivision process was never completed to vacate the lot line
between Lots 16 and 17, the parking lot and storage yard on Lot 17 should be
considered off-site parking. According to Section 17.24.020(2) of the Zoning
Code, the applicant must obtain a lease that shall be perpetual in nature
running for the duration of the use. A copy of this lease should be submitted
to the=Town for it's records.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE:
According to Section 17.20.040 of the Zoning Code, the Commission shall approve
or deny the Special Review Use after considering certain factors that are listed
below. Those items in parentheses are Staff responses to the criteria:
A. The adequacy of access to the site with respect to the width of the
adjacent streets, their grades, intersection safety, visibility and
entrance into the lot to be developed:
(The existing street, Metcalf Road, and the existing access onto
Lot 16 are both adequate to handle the traffic generated by the
proposed use.)
B. Whether there exists safe access and sufficient water pressure to
provide fire protection;
(The site has sufficient access and water pressure for fire' protection.)
C. The existent water pressure in the area and the ability of the water
system to supply domestic needs;
(The proposed use should not greatly increase water needs for the project.)
