 January 5, 2016 PZC Work Session                                          Wildridge Duplex Standards 

PAGE 1 OF 3  

  To:    Chairman Jim Clancy and Planning and Zoning Commission From:      Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Director Date:    December 23, 2015 Agenda Topic:  Wildridge Standards   

Introduction At the November  17, 2015 meeting, the Avon Town Council continued Ordinance  15‐11, an Ordinance drafted to create a new PUD amendment category  for the Wildridge subdivision.     The Ordinance  is intended to address PUD Amendment applications specific to duplex properties proposing to develop as two separate lots and two single‐family structures.   The Ordinance was continued by Council until the January 26, 2016 meeting with direction to work with PZC on the eligibility and standards for this type of application.   Additionally, direction was provided to take another  look at  incorporating more stringent  design  standards  to  future  development  the WIldridge  Subdivision,  including  “coast  to coast” duplexes.      The intent of the January 5, 2016 Work Session is to review Ordinance 15‐11, and determine if additional amendments  to  Ordinance  15‐11  are  in  the  interest  of  PZC  based  on  the  additional  information attached and included herein.  Background Recent  development within  the Wildridge  subdivision  has  prompted  a  number  of  discussions with Town  Council  and  the  Planning  &  Zoning  Commission  questioning  the  adequacy  of  current development  regulations.   Of particular concern are PUD amendment applications  that  result  in  lot splits and change the building type from a duplex (or more attached units) to single‐family‐detached units.     Council and PZC  indicated  interest  in adopting additional review criteria for review of  lot split PUD Amendments to improve mitigation of potential impacts to affected properties and to codify best practices incorporated in past lot split PUD amendment approvals.   Among the changes shown in Ordinance 15‐11, a new category of review criteria specific to minor PUD amendment applications that result in lot splits in Wildridge is prescribed to better address the specific needs  of  that  environment.    PUD  amendment  proposals  would  need  to  address  specific  site characteristics unique to the Wildridge neighborhood to demonstrate that a development proposal is not more  impactful  than development proposed under  the existing  site allowance. The  language  is intended to provide the Planning & Zoning Commission with ample discretion to review proposals on a site‐by‐site basis. New language and sections are shown in red.     Most notable of the proposed code text revision  is a change  in the review and  final decision that  is now proposed to be completed by the Planning & Zoning Commission, rather than Town Council, for applications  to amend  the Wildridge PUD.   However, applications  that propose significant deviation from the Wildridge PUD (i.e. zone change from residential to commercial) will continue to be a Town Council consideration and approval process.

 January 5, 2016 PZC Work Session                                          Wildridge Duplex Standards 

PAGE 2 OF 3  

Duplex Lot Splits In 2010 during  the drafting of Title 7, Development Code, Avon Municipal Code, Town Staff and  the Town Attorney worked toward a set of standards to address the same circumstance of a duplex  lot being  split  into  two  single‐family  lots and  structures.   Below  in blue  text  is  the 2010 code  language (never adopted), and is included only to see if the criteria/approach are worth considering in whole or in part in addition to or supplementing portions of Draft Ordinance 15‐11.  Wildridge Duplex PUD Amendment Criteria. The purpose of this section is to establish criteria for the review of duplex subdivisions which propose to break‐up the bulk and mass of potential duplexes on duplex  lots  in the Wildridge Subdivision and by creating two (2) single‐family homes of a  limited size which result in two (2) smaller structures, rather than one (1) large monolithic structure and which are sited with adequate separation between  the  two buildings.   A proposed subdivision of a duplex  lot which does not meet the criteria in this section must follow the “Major PUD Amendment” process.  

1. Minimum Lot Size:  one (1) acre.   2. Maximum Unit Size:  The two proposed single‐family homes shall not be of a combined gross 

floor  area  greater  than  6,000  sq.  ft.  and  shall  be  configured  in  a  primary/secondary arrangement with  the primary  structure  comprising at  least  sixty‐percent  (60%) of  the  total floor area and  the secondary structure comprising a maximum of  forty‐percent  (40%) of  the total floor area. 

3. Building Envelopes:   Any  request  to build  two  (2)  single  family homes on a  lot platted and zoned  for  a  duplex must  be  accompanied  by  a  Duplex  Subdivision  Plat  depicting  two  (2) separate building envelopes which meet the following standards: 

(i) are each no greater than 1,800 sq ft in area,  (ii) are at least twenty (20) feet apart,  (iii) conform to setbacks,  (iv) are  sized,  configured,  and  located  in  a manner  consistent with  surrounding 

development,  (v) respond to natural contours to minimize site disturbance, (vi) and  avoid  steep  slopes  which  exceed  thirty  percent  (30%)  grade  where 

practical and in no case include steep slopes which exceed forty percent (40%) grade.  

4. Compatibility:  The newly proposed single‐family lots shall be compatible with the average size of the ten (10) closest lots to the subject property; and, shall be configured and placed on the lot  in a manner which responds to the natural topography without causing excessive grading and site disturbance. 

5. Access & Easements:  A single access easement shall be located and depicted on the proposed Duplex Subdivision Plat in accordance with §7.28.030, AMC. 

 Duplex Design Standards  Currently, no codified development standards exist to prevent a “coast‐to‐coast” duplex design. The PZC will discuss this subject to  identify concerns and determine the standards that may be proposed for codification.  The intended outcome of this discussion is to provide staff with specific direction to recommend amendments  to  the Development Code.   Again  from 2010, draft  code  language  (never adopted) is shown below in blue for consideration.

Duplexes/Tri‐plex/Quad‐plex:  A  continuous  row  of  identical  homes  along  a  block  is prohibited.   Individual  structures  shall  be  differentiated  through  two  or  more  of  the  following methods: 

Use of distinct color variation and materials between individual structures; 

Variation in garage orientation; 

Use of distinct variations in roof form; or 

Use of distinct variations  in architectural  features,  such as porches,  roof  form, windows, or similar feature, between individual structures. 

 Wildridge Design Guidelines  At the November 17, 2015 Council meeting, some Council members discussed their desire to reconsider the original guidelines for the subdivision.   Attached to this report are the original Design Guidelines for  the Wildridge  Subdivision.   We will  discuss  these  guidelines,  and  Staff will  ask PZC  to  consider which of these guidelines may warrant incorporation into Town Code.    Attachments

INTRODUCTION

This report has been prepared to establish architectural and landscape guidelines for Wildridge.They can serve the prospective homeowner, designer or developer in arriving at design decisionsazich are responsive to both the needs of an individual building project as well as the objectivesof the total development,

lldridge is a unique environment endowed with those natural attributes not often found in land

developments. High open ridges at 8,000 feet with aspen groves, natural rock outcroppings,I orizons of the high Rocky Mountains, sunshine, clean air and clear skys all form the ingredientsof that environment. It is of prime importance to the continued aesthetic and ecological qualityoft+?ildridge that all structures and landscaping are compatible with one another and in harmonywith the natural surroundings.

AREA CHARACTERISTICS

Wldridge is located in the Town of Avon in the Iwrth Central Colorado Rocky Mountainsapproximately ten miles west of Vail, Colorado.

TOPOGRAPHY

Elevations within the project range from 7,740 feet to 8,930 feet above sea level. Topographicallythe site is dominated by sharply defined north -south trending ridges and valleys which result in apredominance of building sites with east, south or westerly orientations, Building sites rangefrom gently sloping meadows and ridge lines to valley walls with slopes from 30 to 40 %.

V E G E T A T I O N

Sage, native grasses and forbes domimate the Wildridge site with only occasional small stands of

oak brush, mountain mahogany or aspen. Areas disturbed by construction of roads and utilities arebeing re- vegetated with native grasses and forbes by the developer.

Page 18: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

W I N D

Prevailing winds are westerly with gusts above 25 M.P.H. Gentle, warm, dry breezes dominate thesummer months, stronger breezes occur in the spring and fall, and winter winds bring someblowing and drifting of snow.

P R E C I P I T A T I O N

Precipitation averages 18 inches a year, primarily in the form of snow falling from October toApril.

T E M P E R A T U R E

Temperatures in winter vary widely: daytime temperatures can range from 15 degrees F. below zeroto 50 degrees above; night temperatures can range from an extreme of 40 degrees below zero to 30degrees above. S=er temperatures vary widely also, with possibility of frost occuring in everymonth; daytime temperatures may be in the nineties with night time temperatures in the sixties withoccasional lows near freezing. Skies are sunny and clear throughout most of the year,

GL' 0L0GY

The site is underlain with sedimentary bedrock covered by a mantle of sandy to silty clay soils ofmoderate alkalinity. These soils range in depth from a few inches to an estimated 15 to 20 feet insome areas. The bedrock isl and thinly bedded such that the upper portions should berippable with some areas of harder limestones and sandstones requiring light blasting to facilitateexcavation.

BUILDING SITES

The siting of individual structures on the landscape can enhance or detract from the cohesivenessof the total development.

These recommendations will address specific physiographic relationships which are to be found inWi- ldridge: The basic relationships which have been determined to most influence structure sitingare related to site slope, vegetative cover and the prominence of a building site as it is viewedfrom other areas within the developement.

Page 19: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

There are lots within the development which present unique opportunities for the individual builderbecause of access, orientation, view, etc. While these lots present the essence of '.4ildridge forthe individual homeowner they also present the potential for the compromise of those same goals foro biers ,

R I D G E S

Those lots which have been placed on " visible" ridges present the most sensitive sitingconsiderations, particularly where natural vegetation is -minimal.

Buildings placed on "risible" ridges where they break the skyline as viewed from other lots withinthe development break the natural landforms and therefore compromise dramatic vie<as .

Buildings placed with roof lines below the brow of the ridge or below the height of a vegetativescreen will preserve the continuity of the total site.

Within concentrated areas of development the visual impact of an individual structure on

neighboring homeowners is inevitable. While architectural guidelines have been established to

promaote an aesthetic compatibility of all structures throughout the development each project shouldbe reviewed with consideration as to potential attenuation of view.

Building sites within Wildridge have varying degrees of slope, 71here are a number of designalternatives which may be anployed by the designer to accommodate site slope. The objective shouldbe to fit the building or access drive to the existing landform, minimizing their visual inipacts.

The structure should conform

to the natural landform.Excessive cut and fill or stiltsshould be avoided.

The structure should be stepped with the landform avoiding large areas of exposted foundation orthe necessity for excessive cut and fill,

Page 21: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

SLOPES 0 % -20%

Sites with slopes less than 207. present no significant building and vehicular access probldns.These sites should maintain 25' front yard setbacks or greater.

STAPES 20 °; -30%

S ites with slopes greater than 20% and less than 30% may require a 10 foot mini*.nmm front yardsetback for the garage. This i•rill allow the garage to be as close to the road as possible therebyreducing the amoun of cut and fill necessary for driveway access. The garage may be attached orseperate from the residence, however the residence shall maintain a 25' front yard setback.

Vegetation is an important consideration when det the siting of a structure in that it canbe used as a visual screen, , rind break, or sun screen as well as complement the structurevisually. The landscape section ccnstains specific recommendations as to revegetation.

Where structures are to be sited in wooded areas care should be taken to maintain vegetation on thenorth and west sides of the building where it will act as a wind screen. [ Were possible evergreensshould be used for this purpose as they hold their foliage through the winter,Deciduous trees should be maintained or introduced on the south side of a structure in that theyallow the penetration of sun in the winter and provide shade in the summer.

Where possible, building sites or road a1ugmients should not be located in the transition zoneI tween a wooded area and an open area. The transition zone is an important feature of wildlifehabitat as T,a--11 as a unique feature -visually. T , - There the siting of a building or road in thetransition zone is necessary, vegetation should be introduced to create a new transition zone.

ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES

ORIENTATION

Orientation of structures on individual building sites should relate to general sitenicharacteristics. Canprase of same characteristics will be required by some sites, however

Wildridge generally has south facing slopes which relate to both solar orientation and distantviews.

T \

ut-h

This diagram visually displays the

major site orientations that should beconsidered when designing buildings inTr7ildridge

The best long views and the best solar orientation are to the south with south -east and south -westorientations also being good. North facing views are shorter and into the mountain.

The optL= orientation for a structure will provide sunlight, winter -rind protection and view, On

the Wildridge sites, the best overall orientation in most cases is toward the south -east.

10

Page 28: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

B U I L D I N G MASSING

Buildings located on non -treed lots will be highly visible and require more control of scale,massing, and materials. Structures, to the extent possible, should be tucked into the earth to

present a low profile.

Roof lines of buildings on open, non -treed sites should run with the slope of the land.

Articulate building plans inresponse to sloping sites toreduce building scale and createspatial variety,

11

Articulate vertical massing rather thancreating unbroken vertical masses to

help reduce scale and create spatialvariety.

ialND EFFECTS

Winds are most prevelant in the spring and fall when their cooling effects are of little importanceand are aggrevating to outdoor activities. Winter winds increase heat loss from structures

especially when building openings are oriented toward the north.

On open, non -treed sites, the effect of winds will be much more prevelant, Buildings should bedesigned to allow winds to slide over the structures rather than "stop" the wind,

BUILDING MATERIALS & ELEMENTS

A strong com=ity image and sense of place can best be created for Wildridge by encouraging thearchitecture of private residences to be understated; not competing with other residences or publicuse buildings. Public or com=ity buildings and natal land features should be the focal ooint ofAldridge.

Building materials and colors should be those that blend with the indigenous character of thearea. The use of artificial materials will be discouraged and the use of color should beconsistent with the natural earth tones of the site.

The following building design elements are established as guidelines to assure a continuity ofbuilding character,

12

Page 31: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

ICOLOR

All color applied to exterior cod surfaces shall be semi - transparent stains that allow the grainof the cod to show through.

The color of these stains shall be earth tones indigenous to the site and shall be one of the

following colors. ( Colors listed are for Olympic semi- transparent stains. Other matchingsemi- transparent stains are acceptable):

Basic structure colors: 900, 901, 902, 904, 906, 908, 909, 911, 914, 916, 917 and 918.

rim colors: ( limited to 107. of the structure) any of the colors listed for the basic structurebut deeper in value.

ROOF FACIA

All buildings shall have ,md rooffacia boards of 12 inches or deeper.

K . iii

Roof materials shall be red cedar shakes or sod only, Sod roofs shall pitch as re for

drainage but shall tie to earth grade on at least one side.

ROOF PITCHES 1

15

On open/non -tree covered sites roof pitches shallapproximate slope of the natural contour. The ridgeof the roof shall run perpendicular to the slope.Roof pitches on tree covered lots are not as visableand therefore do not have to approximate the slopeof the ground.. A 3:12 roof slop_ e is the minima„ forshake roofs.

The ridge of a roof shall not occur at a vertical wall. The roof surface shall counter pitch fromthe ridge a minimum distance of four feet, as illustrated.

SOLAR CONSIDERATIONS

The use of passive solar design principles should be encouraged for all structures in Wildridge.Solar orientation in most cases is excellent and the climate allows a high return on cost investedwhen compared to many areas of the country.

The winter sum is at an angle of 28 degreeson December 21st at noon. Proper windowlocation and size will allow deep sum penetrationinto the house.

The stunner sun is at an angle of 74 degreeson June 21st at noon and proper overhangsover south facing windows will restrict oreliminate sun penetration into the house.

Building entrances should be designed to minimize heat loss.

Entrance doors should be sealed tightly toprevent heat loss and heat gain.

Air locks or vestibules can be used for

unheated storage or as mid rooms.

Air locks can prevent large air exchangesand reduce heat loss due to infiltration.

Air locks are most effective when placedon the south or east sides of buildings.

Wingwalls should be incorporated with air-locks on north and est sides of the building.

The use of mass within a building is important for the storage of heat.

By virtue of their mass, all materials have the ability to store heat. Certain materials such as

stone can store large amounts of heat.

18

Page 36: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

Massive materials can be used most effectively to moderate interior temperature if placed withinthe structure rather dim outside of the structure.

V-781aM - -

In winter the mass or heat sink absorbs heat

SUY1 during the day when air temperature is greaterthan the mass temperature.

U the room air temperature drops below themass tarperature heat is radiated back intothe roan.

This principle may be applied to floor surfacesas well as walls.

Wall and roof construction should be designed to m; = ze heat loss.

19

Page 37: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

A plastic vapor barrier positioned on the " warm" side of the wall and ceiling will significantlydecrease air penetration and heat loss.

Some design considerations that will result in energy conservation:

OA thermal resistance value of R30 should be a minim, an standard for insulation in roofs.

A thermal resistance value of R19 should be a minimLm standard for the insulation in the floor

above basements, garages, and crawl spaces.

A thermal resistance value of R16 should be a minurnmi standard for insulation uz outside walls.

Upper portions of walls are particularly important.

GInsulating glass consisting of two or more panels with dead air space between each panel shouldbe used,

20

Page 38: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

QWindow area should be kept to a minimn on all sides except the south,

Q Insulated window coverings, * ,bich can be closed at night and en the building is not in use, cangreatly reduce energy loss.

QWindow sashes with thermal breaks should be used to reduce heat loss.

LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES

L A N D S C A P E G U I D E L I N E S

Plant material should be used to reduce the visual dominance of structures and man induced elementssuch as buildings, retaining walls, fences, road cuts, and automobiles,

Landscape improvements which are reflective of the area's mountain characteristics should daninatethe architecture of Wildridge,

Trees introduced in hanesite landscaping are to be material predominately consistent T,7ith thecharacter of the native mountain landscape. ( See plant list.)

Plants used for accent or to achieve spatial design considerations may be adapted non- nativematerial. (See plant list for approved accent plant material.)

Vegetation may be introduced for the purpose of erosion control, visual screening, or scalereduction in the large landscape.

OIrrigated lawn areas utilizing native and adapted non- native plants may be maintained on slopesless than 25% (4:1), Where lawn areas are established they shall have an automatic irrigationSystem.

21

Page 39: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

OIkidisturbed native stands of sage brush, grasses,and forbes may be maintained if they are in largeareas. Small areas tend to look unkept or neglected,

Q S tands of native gambles oak, aspen or spruce maybe incorporated into an irrigated lawn to recall orsupport the visual image of the surroounding plantcon z

Small building sites where the majority of the existing native plants are disturbed should betotally re- vegetated as specified by the plant anaterial list.

OBuildirg sites sloping in excess of 25, (4:1) shall be limited to a maximum of 3,000 square feetof irrigated area which shall be contiguous to structures on site,

OPlanting outside of defined irrigated areas shall be limited to native species comparable to theimmediately surrounding plant community ( ample: aspen and spruce should not be introduced onsage brush and grass hill sides outside of the defined, irrigated area )

QIrrigated landscape areas should be defined from native vegetation areas by timber, stone wall,or edging elements,

OPlant materials in irrigated areas can help subordinate structures to the landscape and lessentheir visual impact.

22

Page 40: Town of Avon Planning Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Tuesday, January 5, 2016 · ‐Avon Municipal Building, Avon Recreation Center, Avon Public Library, Town of Avon Website Please

GThe building pad, foundation excavation and cut and fill for driveways shall be designed tominimi disruption of existing trees and ground cover.

C)On tree covered lots minima th of existing trees may be allowed to improve distant viewsand solar gain.

S I T E I M P R O V E M E N T G ii I D E L I N E S

QThe maxivarn grade for a cut or fill slope in severecircumstances shall be 1 1/2' horizontal to 1' vertical.Rze prefered max:LTm slope for areas of cut and fillwhere re- vegetation is necessary is 2' horizontal to1' vertical.

QThe maxinasn slope Length for severe cut or fill slopes shall be:

1 1/2:1 through 2:1 maxin n slope length = 20 feet2:1 through 3:1 maxi -Tan slope length = 30 feet

QBedrock which is exposed in a cut slope mayexceed the maxi 1 1/2 : 1 cut slope. The cutsurface of the bedrock should be "sculptured" tocreate an irregular profile which approximtesnatural rock outcropings on the site. Plantingpockets ma be created in the "sculptured" rockfor grasses and forties.

Retaining structures should be used where cut and fill slopes will exceed the maxi= limits and toreduce total site disturbance.

Qihe visible height of retaining structuresshould be limited to 6 feet,

QRetaining structures are to be constructedof squared timber, concrete, stone or a canbi-nation of both, In the heavily trod areas roundlog retaini.rg structures :nay be used

Q when retaining walls are required in heightsexceeding the maxi= of 6 feet, multiple structuresshould be stepped back to create planting terraces.

Q Planting material should be used to reduce thevisual impact of large retaining structures,

GRADING

QHorizontal and vertical variation in the graded cut and fill slopes will create a more naturalridge and valley configuration, Such undulations should correspond to the adjacent natural slopevariations. Cut and fill slopes should be contoured and moulded rather than sliced.

Q Cut and fill slopes with grades in excess of3:1 shall be protected by an approved erosionblanket over mulch. Flatter areas susceptibleto concentrated runoff water should receive

similar treatment.

r -+i

C C.U'f'.'I

Q Cut and fill slopes from 3:1 to 5:1 shall betreated by hydro - mulching or with otherapproved mulch. For best results seed and

fertilizer should be applied prior toapplication of hydro -mulch (hydro - seeding orseed drilling followed by hydro- mmrilc'ning) ,

Q Slopes to be re- vegetated with dryland species should be scarified ( tilled) leaving an irregularsurface to promote maximum, moisture retention and to create micro enviornments more conducive to

seed germination and plant growth: Scarification equipment marks should rur: parallel with theslope contours:

Okffni- benches create improved plant growth conditions aswell as provide topographic relief to the slope. Tree and

shrub plantings in these areas help to retain soil moistureand slow runoff: Plant material appropriate to the

surrounding plant community should be introduced into these areas.

Q Patio surfaces sach as brick, flagstone, or concrete pavers over a gravel and sand bed willdisperse runoff rather than concentrate it. Gravel driveways or "grass- crete" parking areas willalso minimize concentrated runoff and lessening the possibility of localized erosion.

QDripline impact areas should receive special treatment where roof eaves overhang existing orrehabilitated native vegetation,

QExcessive concentration of roof runoff or unstable soil /slope conditions may re runoff to bedirected by french drains or drain tile to a dry well away from the structural foundation.

PLANT L I S T

e following lists of trees, shrubs and ground covers shall serve as the primary ;aide in theselection of plant material for use in Wildridge. Plants not included on the list of Accent Plantsmay be used if approved by the Covenants Co¢mittee as being consistent with the intended purposesof the Accent Plants. The list of Dominant 'Nees and Shrubs may be expanded only with plantsnative to the surrounding plant coununi ties as approved by the Covenants Committee of thesubdivision. Inclusion on these lists is not a guarantee of the plants adaptability to all growingconditions at Wildridge. The design qualities and specific growth re of each plant mustbe considered when preparing a landscape plan. The Covenants Co®ittee may reject a landscape planif these considerations have not been adequately addressed even though all plant material shown onthe plan may appear on the plant lists. Although these lists deal primarily with woody type plant,extensive perennial and annual plantings may receive the evaluation and direction of the CovenantsCommittee.
