The McGrady Acres PUD Guide(PUD Guide)allows for the proposed dwelling unit through the SUP process, subject to standards as outlined in Eagle County Land Use Code(the"ECLUR") Section 5-250.B. These items are detailed in the Standards and Analysis section VI of the staff report. Pursuant to the standards set forth in ECLUR Section 5-250 - Special Uses, staff has reviewed all information presented by the Applicant,as provided by referral agencies, and research of additional background information. Based on this review, staff recommends approval with conditions of the Application as it meets the standards in ECLUR Section 5-250.B. Greg Macik,with TAB Associates, stated that this was a Special Use Request for a single family housing unit on a lot currently owned adjacent to the church. The intent was for pastor housing and/or staff housing. David McWilliams, staff planner reviewed the project summary. The applicant was requesting a 3,700 square foot dwelling unit on a 1.44 acre parcel of land within the McGrady Acres PUD. The PUD guide allowed for a dwelling unit through the Special Use process. The proposal adhered to the PUD Guide in terms of architectural principles,height,material, and the platted 50 ft. stream set back on the property. A driveway variation was requested to achieve design qualities for the property as a full turnaround was not possible due to a ditch on the property. The Nottingham&Puder Ditch was owned by the Town of Avon and created encumbrances on the property in terms of access and building location. Copies of the application were sent to 26 agencies for review and six agencies responded. The Town of Avon Public Works approved the design that minimized additional water flow in the nearby ditch. The Town of Avon Community Development had no objections but recommended a deed restriction of the housing units. The Eagle County School District supported the project. The Eagle Vail Metro District recommended mitigation steps be taken if golf balls were of concern. CDOT had no comments and the Eagle County Paramedics requested that no additional vehicles be parked improperly to achieve a three point turn. No public comment had been received. He reviewed the standards and indicated that the application was in compliance with the standards.A condition was added per the Eagle River Fire Protection District that expressed that they did not have concerns with the lack of a turnaround if the residences provided a fire-suppression sprinkler system. Staff recommended a condition of approval to clarify the requirement.
