Site Plan for the New Avon Commons

Features of Avon Commons include the following:

• Buildings are screened from view from Detroit Road by trees, a serpentine brick wall, high mounding, and a landscape buffer that will line Detroit Road.

  The landscaped mound will preserve the scenic character of Detroit Road. The large, perpetual no-build buffer acreage will put permanent green space in the middle of Avon.

• There is only one access to Avon Commons off Detroit Road near SR-83 with a computer - coordinated traffic signal and turning lanes.

• Middleton will tie into Avon Commons from Avenbury. Residents may walk or drive to Avon Commons without using Detroit Road. Stratford residents will be able to cross Detroit Road into Avon Commons.

• Center Road, as it opens on to the north side of Detroit, will be widened by First Interstate to create dedicated lanes for both right and left turns.

• Detroit Road, west-bound from Center Road to SR-83, will have four lanes: a dedicated left-turn lane, a dedicated right-turn lane on to SR-83, and two through lanes.

• Avon Commons will have a landscaped buffer of a minimum of 85 feet from the west property line. Included in this buffer are an 8-foot high board - on - board fence, existing woods, and additional landscaping.

• A grade separation will result in the floor level of the retail buildings being at least 10 feet below the floor level of the homes on Center Road. Most Avon Commons buildings would be set back 145 feet from the property line, with a minimum setback of 115 feet.

• Avon Commons will have a 5-acre festival marketplace with a recreational pathway for walking and other outdoor activities. As planned, it will be lined with restaurants whose patios will open on the festival walkway. At the end of the pathway, there will be a 2-acre summer concert area with a gazebo and an amphitheater.
