COMMISSION ACTION FORM
REQUEST: MAJOR SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 3413 & 3425 AURORA
AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
Hunziker Development Company LLC is requesting approval of a Major Site
Development Plan for two 8-unit apartment buildings with one building at 3413 Aurora
Avenue (Lot 10) and the other at 3425 Aurora Avenue (Lot 11, Village Park
Subdivision). (See Attachment A: Location & Zoning Map & Attachment B. Major Site
Development Plan) Apartment buildings within the FS-RM zoning district must have an
approved Major Site Development Plan prior to the issuance of building permits. The
proposed plan is for the last two undeveloped lots within the Village Park Subdivision.
The proposed site plan includes two separate lots that each will have an 8-unit two-story
apartment building. The proposed apartment buildings have an orientation to Aurora
Avenue. Access to the ground level units is from the east and the west facades. The
upper floor units have an interior stairway and corridor. This orientation is consistent
with other apartment buildings on Aurora Avenue. (See Attachment C: Floor Plans)
The proposed apartment buildings have the same architectural features and vinyl
materials as were approved for the 8-unit apartment buildings at 3331, and 3405 Aurora
Avenue (See Attachment D: Building Elevations). The applicant proposes to use vinyl
siding and vinyl board and batten siding as the primary exterior material on all sides of
the buildings. Stone veneer is on the lower exterior of both buildings. Each apartment
building will have a hipped roof with dormers and asphalt shingles. Painted steel
columns on the street front and rear facing facades support decks for the second floor
units. A wood frame with standing seam metal roof is shown on the front and rear
facades over the main building entrances. Fagade relief exists on all sides of each
residential building. (See Attachment D. Building Elevations)
The proposed two-story buildings are to function as a transitional building type between
the more massive three-story, 36-unit buildings with gable roofs on the other side of
Aurora Avenue and the future single-family homes to the west. The building design has
a very residential appearance that is similar to some of the other multi-family buildings
constructed along Aurora Avenue and Cottonwood Road.
The site plan shows an 8-stall garage along the west property line, behind each
apartment building, and surface parking spaces across the drive aisle from the garage.
A shared access easement, 24 feet wide, is centered on the property line between Lots
10 and 11, which provides access to the on-site parking on both lots (See Attachment
B. Major Site Development Plan, Site Layout & Dimension Plan).
Seven of the eight garage stalls have standard dimensions. The eighth garage stall is
handicap-accessible. A gabled roof with a 4/12 pitch covers the seven standards stalls,
