VI. Minor Development Plan — CONTINUED FROM APRIL 24, 2014 MEETING
Property Location: Tract B2 and Lot 22AB, Block 2 Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Property Address: 230 & 245 Chapel Place
Applicant: Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate
Description: The proposal is for shutters and window sills to be added to Building A and
Building C of the Chapel Square PUD. The color of the wood is gray and bright red, and has
diagonal paint schemes. Solid metal exit doors would also be painted to match.
Discussion: Eric Heil, Town Attorney, presented information to the Commission with respect to
process and public comment requirements. No public comment was taken.
Action: Commissioner Minervini moved to deny the application based on the following findings:
1. The proposed application was reviewed pursuant to §7.16.080(f), Development Plan,
and §7.16.090(f), Design Review, and was determined not to be compliant with the following
review criteria:
2. The application does not comply with §7.16.090(f)(1), Design Review, which reads
"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";
the Commission interprets the "surrounding community" as the buildings and area surrounding
the Chapel Square PUD; and
3. The architectural style of this design element (shutters) is not representative of the
contemporary architectural style of the buildings; and
4. By only adding this design element to Buildings A and C, Buildings A, B, and C would
not have a consistent architectural style; and
5. The colors of the design element are not compatible with the colors in the surrounding
community.
Commissioner Struve seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously with a 5-0
vote.
