RE: Mountain Star Water Storage Tank Site Annexation:
Res. No. 16-06 Finding Property Eligible for Annexation and
Ord. No. 16-04 Annexing the Property
DATE: March 17, 2016
SUMMARY: The Upper Eagle River Water Authority has submitted an application to annex the 5 acre
water storage tank site adjacent to the Mountain Star development into the Town of Avon (“Property”).
This water storage tank site has a long history that dates back to the original approvals of the Mountain
Star development. The preferred water storage tank site was identified on Forest Service land to the north
and uphill of the Mountain Star development (see the Town of Avon Land Exchange Map). The Upper
Eagle River Water Authority acquired this site along with other water storage tank sites from the U.S.
Forest Service as part of the multi-party land exchange that was completed several years ago. The use of
the property is intended for the construction of a water storage tank to serve the Mountain Star
development. It is generally the practice and preference to annex lands into a municipality that include
public infrastructure serving development in the municipality.
ANNEXATION PROCESS: The Town follows the annexation process in the Municipal Annexation Act of
1965. The process began with the receipt of a complete annexation petition and the adoption of a
resolution to initiate the process. The Town Council previously approved Resolution No. 16-02 Initiating the
Annexation process and setting the statutorily required public hearing for March 22, 2016. A schedule of
actions for the annexation process is re-printed below.
ANNEXATION FINDINGS: The Town Council is required to determine if the Property is eligible for
annexation before proceeding to act upon an ordinance actually annexing the Property. The statutory
requirements include a minimum of 1/6 contiguity between the Property and the boundaries of the Town of
Avon and a determination that a “community of interest” exists. The statutory annexation process allows
annexation properties to be described in a series parcels which each meet the 1/6 contiguity requirement
thereby allowing any property that touches a municipal boundary to meet this requirement. The subject
Property is described in two parcels, which considered in series meets the 1/6 contiguity requirement.
Resolution No. 16-06 states the findings that the Property is eligible for annexation, finds that a “community
of interest exists” because the Property is for the construction of public infrastructure to serve a residential
development within the Town of Avon, finds that no annexation election is required because the owner of
100% of property is petitioning for annexation and finds that no additional terms or conditions are imposed
on the annexation.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 16-06 FINDING THAT THE MOUNTAIN STAR
WATER TANK SITE PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE FOR ANNEXATION.”
ANNEXATION ORDINANCE: Ordinance No. 16-04 Annexing the Mountain Star Water Tank Site
Property is presented for Council consideration. Adoption of an ordinance is the final step of the
annexation process. There are no conditions, terms or agreements directly associated with the action to
annex this Property. There is a 2016 Capital Projects Implementation Agreement associated with this
property for the funding and construction of a water storage tank. In addition, the Town Council is required

FINDING THAT THE MOUNTAIN STAR WATER TANK SITE PROPERTY IS

WHEREAS, Upper Eagle River Water Authority, has filed a petition for annexation, and the
Avon Town Council has adopted Resolution No. 2016-02 INITIATING ANNEXATION OF
THE MOUNTAIN STAR WATER TANK SITE PROPERTY, FINDING THE PETITION

PUBLIC HEARING; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Avon held a public hearing on March 22,
2016, after providing required notice in accordance with C.R.S. §31-12-108; and,
WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Avon desires to set forth its findings
regarding the Petition for Annexation of the Mountain Star Water Tank Site Property in
accordance with C.R.S. §31-12-110;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN
OF AVON, the following:
SECTION 1. ELIGIBILITY. The Town Council finds that the requirements of C.R.S. §31-12-
104 and §31-12-105 have been met. Specifically, the Town Council finds that the perimeter
Mountain Star Water Tank Site Property is one sixth contiguous with the Town of Avon and
further finds that a community of interest exists because the property will provide a site for
essential water system infrastructure serving the Mountain Star PUD area, a residential
development within the Town of Avon.
SECTION 2. NO ELECTION REQUIRED. The Town Council finds that the no election is
required because the Upper Eagle River Water Authority is the owner of 100% of the property
petitioning for annexation.
SECTION 3. NO ADDITIONAL TERMS OR CONDITIONS. The Avon Town Council finds that no
additional terms or conditions are to be imposed on the annexation of the Mountain Star Water
Tank Site Property.

of
the
Property,
while
at
the
same
time
conserving
the

and
welfare
of
the
Avon
community
by
designating
the

and
injury
to
people,
structures
and
public
infrastructure”
as
stated
in
the
Purpose
provisions
of
the
code.

(2)
Consistency
with
the
Avon
Comprehensive

Staff
Response:
With
the
corresponding
Avon
Comprehensive

the
Application
is
consistent
with
the
plan
and
recommendations
related
to
the
provision
of
public

(3)
Physical
suitability
of
the

for
the
proposed
development
or
subdivision;
Staff
Response:
The
Property
is
suitable
for
water
storage
and
a
small
access
roadway.
The
elevation
of
the
property
is
at
9,200
feet
which
is

Staff
Response:
The
area
surrounding
the
parcel
is
mostly
native
forest,
with
single-‐
family
home
construction
to
the
south.
Once
the
facility
is
operational,
there
will
be
minimal
noise
from
maintenance
vehicles
monitoring
the
site
on
a
routine
basis.
Long
term
Impacts
to
wildlife
are
minimal
as
documented
in

Whether
the
proposed
rezoning
is
justified
by
changed
or
changing
conditions
in
the
character
of
the
area
proposed
to
be
rezoned
Staff
Response:
The
rezoning
is
justified
based
on
increased
water
demand
in
the
Mountain
Star
subdivision
to
maintain
adequate
fire
flows.
(6)
Whether
there
are
adequate
facilities
available
to

compared
to
the
existing
zoning,
while
maintaining
adequate
levels
of
service
to
existing
development;
Staff

The
Property
is
served
through
an
access

Amendment

(7)
Whether
the
rezoning
is
consistent
with
the
stated
purpose
of
the
proposed
zoning
district(s);
Staff
Response:
The
PF
zone
district
is
well
suited
for
construction
of
a
water
tank
and
leaving
the
property
in
relatively
natural
state.
(8)
That,
compared
to
the
existing
zoning,
the
rezoning
is
not
likely
to
result
in
adverse
impacts
upon
the
natural
environment,
including
air,
water,
noise,
stormwater
management,
wildlife,
and
vegetation,
or
such
impacts
will
be
substantially
mitigated;
Staff
Response:
The
property
currently
has
no
zoning
designation.
All
of
the
impacts
associated
with
the
construction
and
on-‐going
maintenance
of
a
water
tank
were
evaluated
with
biological
and
wildlife
studies.
For
example,
to
mitigate
impacts
to
wildlife,
construction
will
only
be
permitted
between
April
15
and
December
15
for
deer
and
elk
range.
No
adverse
impacts
are
expected,
and
any
minor
impacts
will
be
mitigated.
(9)
That,
compared
to
the
existing
zoning,
the
rezoning
is
not
likely
to
result
in
significant
adverse
impacts
upon
other
property
in
the
vicinity
of
the
subject
tract;
Staff
Response:
Temporary
noise
during
construction
will
have
some
impacts
to
neighboring
properties;
however,
BMPs
will
be
utilized
to
limit
impacts
with
construction
limited
from
7am
to
6pm
Monday
through
Saturday.
Once
the
tank
is
constructed
there
will
be
very
few
impacts
to
other
properties
in
the
vicinity.
The
location
of
the
tank
is
approximately
175
higher
than
Paintbrush
road
and
will
not
be
visible.
(10)
For
rezoning
within
an
existing
PUD,
consistency
with
the
relevant
PUD
Master
Plan
as
reflected
in
the
approval
of
the
applicable
PUD;
and,
Staff
Response:
The
Property
is
not
located
in
the
Mountain
Star
PUD
and
this
is
not
applicable.
(11)
Adequate
mitigation
is
required
for
zoning
amendment
applications
which
result
in
greater
intensity
of
land
use
or
increased
demands
on
public
facilities
and
infrastructure.
Staff
Response:
The
zoning
amendment
will
result
in
minimal
impacts
to
public
facilities
and
infrastructure.
COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN
AMENDMENT
CRITERIA:
The
review
procedures
for
a
Comprehensive
Plan
Amendment
mimic
those
of
a
Rezoning
application
and
therefore
the
two
applications
are
being
reviewed
concurrently.
The
Avon
Development
Code
allows
concurrent
review
pursuant
to
AMC
§7.16.020(b)(2),
Concurrent
Review.
According
to
the
AMC
§7.16.030(e),
PZC
shall
consider
the
following
criteria
in
formulating
a
recommendation
to
Council:
March
14,
2016
PZC
Meeting
Mountain
Star
Tank
Site
Zoning
and
Comprehensive
Plan
Amendment
6
(1)
The
surrounding
area
is
compatible
with
the
land
use
proposed
in
the
plan
amendment
or
the
proposed
land
use
provides
an
essential
public
benefit
and
other
locations
are
not
feasible
or
practical;
Staff
Response:
The
land
use
of
the
amendment
is
consistent
with
existing
land
uses
in
the
vicinity.
Construction
of
a
water
tank
provides
an
essential
public
benefit.
The
location
of
this
Property
is
strategic
based
on
elevation
and
location
proximate
to
the
residential
lots
it
will
serve.
(2)
Transportation
services
and
infrastructure
have
adequate
current
capacity,
or
planned
capacity,
to
serve
potential
traffic
demands
of
the
land
use
proposed
in
the
plan
amendment;
Staff
Response:
Several
alternatives
were
considered
for
this
water
tank,
from
235,000
to
5000,000
gallons.
The
capacity
was
set
to
270,000
gallons,
as
recommended
by
an
independent
engineering
study.
(3)
Public
services
and
facilities
have
adequate
current
capacity,
or
planned
capacity,
to
serve
the
land
use
proposed
in
the
plan
amendment;
Staff
Response:
This
facility
will
serve
existing
and
future
demands
of
the
Mountain
Star
PUD.
The
plan
amendment
does
not
increase
development
potential
in
the
area.
(4)
The
proposed
land
use
in
the
plan
amendment
will
result
in
a
better
location
or
form
of
development
for
the
Town,
even
if
the
current
plan
designation
is
still
considered
appropriate;
Staff
Response:
The
existing
water
tank
on
Tract
M
of
Mountain
Star
will
be
removed
and
decommissioned
with
the
construction
of
this
upgraded
tank.
The
location
of
the
tank,
approximately
1000’
above
the
existing
residential
construction,
is
appropriate.
(5)
Strict
adherence
to
the
current
plan
would
result
in
a
situation
neither
intended
nor
in
keeping
with
other
key
elements
and
policies
of
the
plan;
Staff
Response:
The
current
Avon
Comprehensive
Plan
does
not
contemplate
the
land
exchange
parcel
where
the
tank
will
be
located;
therefore
the
maps
are
being
updated
to
show
the
boundaries
of
the
parcel
and
open
space
designation
given
how
the
property
is
intended
to
be
developed.
(6)
The
proposed
plan
amendment
will
promote
the
purposes
stated
in
this
Development
Code;
and,
Staff
Response:
As
stated
above,
the
Purposes
stated
in
the
Development
Code
are
achieved
with
the
siting
and
development
of
the
property
for
a
water
tank.
(7)
The
proposed
plan

Dear Debbie,
I have enclosed separate Annexation Plats for Tract WT-1 and WT-2, together containing 5.00 acres, and, on behalf of the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority (“Authority”), I hereby request serial
annexation of both Tracts to the Town of Avon. I have also enclosed the executed Petition for Annexation from the Authority.
The Authority acquired Lot 16, Section 25, Township 4 South, Range 82 West, 6th Principal Meridian,
Eagle County, Colorado by U.S. Patent in 2013, Reception No. 201309275, from the United States of America in the Eagle County Land Exchange for the specific purpose of constructing a water storage tank
above the Mountain Star Subdivision in the Town of Avon. In order to complete the permitting process for this new tank, it is appropriate that this property first be annexed to the Town. I request that this property
be zoned PF – Public Facilities to be consistent with the proposed use of the property. I also request that the Town waive any fees for review of this Petition for Annexation as it is being submitted by another
governmental entity in which the Town is a Contracting Party.
The Authority plans to begin construction of this water storage tank in April 2016. I therefore request expedited consideration and approval of this Petition for Annexation so that this important project can
proceed to completion as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Jason Cowles, P.E.

NOW THEREFORE, as full consideration for and in furtherance of the goals and

1. Purpose.
The purpose of this Agreement is to memorialize MS’s agreement to financially

Project Costs include a “Guaranteed Maximum Price” contract (“GMP Contract”) negotiated by
the Authority in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Eighty Thousand Five Hundred
Twenty Six Dollars ($1,580,526) inclusive of an eight percent (8%) contingency (the
“Contingency”). The actual Eligible Project Costs expended for the Project shall be the
“Actual Project Cost.” Eligible Project Costs shall not include the overhead or other internal
costs and expenditures of any participant. No participant will be entitled to include in-kind
costs for credit or project cost purposes.

($734,509) to be paid directly to the Authority in accordance with Paragraph 4 and 5 of this

3. Allocated Shares of Estimated Project Costs.
The Estimated Project Costs and agreed upon allocated shares of the same,
between the Parties and other participants, are set forth in the table below.
Capital Project Implementation Agreement FINAL

Page 3 of 10
The Estimated Project Costs shown in table below are based upon the GMP
Contract for this Project negotiated by the Authority through an integrated project delivery

aforementioned contributions or from the Contingency. MS’s share of the Project savings shall
be paid over to MS within sixty days after the date of the final accounting for Actual Project
Costs as required by Paragraph 9 below.
The Authority certifies that the above sources and amounts of funds are the
sole and only sources and amounts available to fund the Estimated Project Costs which are
eligible for reimbursement from MS in accordance with this Agreement. The Authority

The Town’s and MS’s obligation to fund their respective Contribution shall be
contingent on the Authority entering into the GMP Contract for the completion of the

Any change orders that would exceed the GMP Contract price shall be pursuant to
and based upon changes to the GMP Contract, properly applied for and approved by the
Authority’s Board of Directors; provided that prior to approval of any one change order in excess
of five thousand dollars ($5,000) the Authority shall provide to the MS Representative (identified

promptly provided shall be considered by the Authority and given fair weight in accordance with
Paragraph 7, below; provided that the final decision regarding the same shall be the Authority’s
to make in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.
In the event that, and as and when the Actual Project Costs exceed the Estimated
Project Costs, Authority may make periodic requests for additional funds from MS, no more
often than every thirty days, and MS shall deposit with Authority the requested amount within
five (5) business days.
Except as described below as between the Town and MS, neither the Town nor
Authority shall have any obligation to commit any additional funds in the event that the Actual
Project Costs exceed the Estimated Project Costs. This Agreement establishes Authority’s and
the Town’s maximum contribution toward the completion of the Project.
5. Project Implementation.
Project construction shall begin on April 15, 2016 and the Authority anticipates
the Project will be substantially completed on November 15, 2016 (pending delays due to
inclement weather). The Authority will implement and oversee the Project, inclusive of the
retention of any necessary consultants and contractors to perform the work necessary to complete
the Project.
The Authority shall cause the Project to be completed in accordance with the
applicable laws, rules, and regulations of all governmental entities having proper jurisdiction over
the Project.
The Authority shall keep accurate records of the progress of the Project and the
Authority shall provide status reports to the Town and MS on a regular basis (a minimum of
every other month after execution of this Agreement), including progress updates, notice of any
problems related to the Project and a record of the payments made to contractor(s). Said
status reports shall include updates to the Actual Project Costs expended and the remaining costs
projected to be expended through the Project completion, and shall note any variances (change
orders) from the Estimated Project Costs, as well as any adjustments to the time schedule for
Project completion.
Upon completion of the Project, the Authority will add the new tank and the
associated systems to the list of “Authority’s Obligations” in Appendix C of the Master
Service Agreement of 1998 and the 2015 Authority Agreement, and in accordance with said
Agreements it shall be the sole responsibility of the Authority to operate, maintain, repair,
replace, and upgrade the integrated water system serving the Community in the future. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to place any financial responsibility or
liability upon MS for future capital needs with respect to said system, nor any other systems or

within the Community.
6. Liability.
Neither the Town nor MS shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses,
damages, expenses, injuries, and liabilities arising from the death or injury of any person or
persons, including any claims of the Authority or other funding entities, or from any damage to

law as well as those that are customary in the industry.
9. Term of Agreement and Termination.
This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date identified above and
shall, except as set forth in Paragraph 12, below, terminate upon the completion and close out of
the Project and a final accounting of the Actual Project Costs being provided by the Authority to
the Town and MS. The Town and the Authority have appropriated and have on hand the funds

Any party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement after thirty (30) days
written notice to the other party in the event of a default which is not cured within twenty (20)

and charges assessed for the use of the water system serving the Community; provided that the
Town shall (1) use its best efforts to maintain the current Tap Fee amount during the term hereof,
(2) will in any event assess Tap Fees within the Community in the same manner as it assesses

Tap Fees against similarly situated users throughout the Town, and (3) shall diligently pursue the
collection of any and all Tap Fees that become due and payable under the Town’s rules and
regulations as they exist from time to time. Tap Fees paid the Authority directly for the water
service it provides to the Community and to any applicable water service are specifically

Agreement, and any other agreement by, between or among the Parties concerning the water
system, water service and water storage tanks serving the Mountain Star Planned Unit

new irrigation practices that will bring the specific usage into an acceptable range.
15. Miscellaneous.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer
Meeting Date: March 8, 2016
Agenda Topic: Ordinance 16-03, Amending Chapter 3.08 of the Avon Municipal Code to Enact
Section 3.08.037 to Provide a Temporary Sales Tax Credit for the Installation of
Renewable Energy Production Components
ACTION BEFORE TOWN COUNCIL
To review and approve, approve with changes, or deny Ordinance 16-03 regarding a sales tax credit
on components for production of energy from renewable sources and to direct Staff to waive
planning and building permit fees for such facilities.
PROPOSED MOTION
I move to approve Ordinance No. 16-03, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 3.08 of the Avon Municipal
Code to Enact Section 3.08.037 to provide a Temporary Sales Tax Credit for the Components for
Production of Energy from Renewable Sources and a waiver of planning review and building permit
fees for renewable energy projects.
BACKGROUND:
At the November 8, 2015 Town Council meeting, Staff presented Ordinance 15-10, a sales tax credit
for solar panel installations. Town Council did not approve the Ordinance, requesting additional
information regarding other renewable energy programs and inquired about including all renewable
energy sources to the ordinance. There are several programs available for residential homeowners
interested in production of energy from renewable energy sources as outlined below:
Residential Federal Tax Credit: A taxpayer may claim a credit of 30% of qualified expenditures for a
system that serves a dwelling unit located in the United States that is owned and used as a residence
by the taxpayer. Qualified expenditures include labor costs for on-site preparation, assembly or
original system installation, and piping or wiring to connect a system to the home.
State Sales Tax Exemption: The State of Colorado exempts sales taxes on components for
Production of Energy from Renewable Energy Sources (C.R.S. §39-26-724) including but not limited to
wind, solar thermal systems, and biogas production systems. The state sales tax exemption does not
include solar photovoltaic or geothermal systems.
Holy Cross Rebates: Holy Cross Energy provides a substantial rebate program for installing energy
efficient fixtures such as LED lights, timers, VFDs, insulation, windows, and solar water heaters. Holy
Cross also has a rebate program for installing renewable energy power systems that includes back
metering of excess electricity.
Page 2
Energy Smart Program at Walking Mountains:
• Residential Program: All Town of Avon homeowners and renters have access to this program
which provides subsidized or free (based on income) Energy Assessments that include safety
testing and comprehensive home energy analysis, and installation of energy saving measures
such as LED's, thermostats, and insulation. The program also provides access to incentives
(rebates/financing) in order to assist homeowners with the installation of energy efficient
improvements and photovoltaic systems.
• Commercial Program: Through a relationship with Holy Cross Energy, we are able to provide
free energy coaching and assistance to small and medium sized businesses within the town
of Avon. Services include site visits, bid reviews, contractor referrals, and assistance with
applying for rebates to maximize and leverage all available rebates.
• Funding for these programs is provided by the Eagle County Eco-Build fund, similar to the
new Avon Exterior Energy Offset Program (EEOP fund), and support from Holy Cross
Energy.
Town of Avon Incentives: The Town recently adopted the EEOP to encourage the use of alternative
renewable energy generation at developments using snowmelt systems. The EEOP imposes a $16/SF
fee on snowmelt systems unless 50% of the energy required is renewable energy generated on-site.
The Town of Avon can implement several incentives programs to promote the production of
renewable energy including waiving building permit fees and planning fees and rebating sales taxes
on components of renewable energy systems. The attached Ordinance 16-03 proposes
implementing these waivers and tax credits.
COMPLIANCE WITH COMPHREHENSIVE PLAN
Goal H.4 of the Avon Comprehensive Plan states a community goal to, “Conserve environmental
resources to ensure their most efficient use.” The Ordinance would provide a temporary financial
incentive to promote the installation of energy from renewable sources by providing a temporary
tax credit and waiving planning and permit fees. This temporary sales tax credit would apply to all
components for production of renewable energy systems for residential, commercial, industrial and
public facility uses. Renewable energy systems can include solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind
and geothermal. The state provides a sales tax exemption for biogas systems but is not
recommended for the Town of Avon because biogas systems are associated with large agriculture
facilities which are not envisioned in the Town.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
In 2015, the Town issued four (4) building permits for the installation of solar panels. The tax credit
for the installation of $15,000 in solar panel materials would amount to a savings of $600 for the
taxpayer. Assuming the average installation of solar panel materials is $15,000 and there are four
installations per year for a total sale of $60,000 in materials then the sales tax credit would be
$2,400. The installation of $200,000 in solar panel materials would result in a sales tax credit of
$8,000. Also, waiving of four planning permit fees at $75/each and four building permit fees at
$150/each would total $900 per year of lost revenue.

Vista Office Building
DATE: March 17, 2016
SUMMARY: This memorandum provides an overview of Ordinance No. 16-06 Approving the Purchase
and Sale Agreement for Lot 4, Mountain Vista Resort Subdivision, Town of Avon, Colorado (“MVO
Building”). Attached is a memorandum from Virginia Egger, Town Manager, addressing financing and
programming of the MVO Building for Town Hall administrative office use and Ordinance No. 16-06
Approving the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Agreement”) has been negotiated with the Seller, Points of Colorado, Inc. The Purchase Agreement is
subject to approval by Ordinance of the Avon Town Council. Both the Town, as Buyer, and the Seller may

ordinance. Specific terms of the Purchase Agreement are highlighted below.
Overall, the sale is characterized by a new subdivision plat to create and describe Lot 4 as its own
independent parcel and by the exclusion of Lot 4 and MVO Building (“Property”) from the Mountain Vista
Resort common interest community. This is for the purpose of creating an autonomous property that is
independent from the covenants and governance of the common interest community. The Property would
remain subject to the Mountain Vista PUD (aka Tract C, Avon Center at Beaver Creek Development)
zoning and development plan, which permits office use for this portion of the PUD development.
RECITAL: Property Description, Inclusions and Exclusions: The Property is the MVO Building along
with the underlying land and a small strip of land surrounding the building. A subdivision replat has been
prepared to create the 10,840 sq.ft. parcel of land as shown in the Purchase Agreement. The subdivision
replat qualifies as a minor subdivision and therefore will be presented to Council for approval at second
reading of Ordinance No. 16-06. The bronze statute of the skier in front of the building is included in the
sale. Parking within the Mountain Vista Resort common interest community is excluded from the sale.
¶1.2 Purchase Price. The agreed Purchase Price is $1.5 Million. A deposit of $75,000 has been tendered
to the Avon office of Title Company of the Rockies. The deposit of $75,000 may be returned to the Town
under the following circumstances:
1. The Avon Town Council does not take final action on an ordinance approving the Purchase
Agreement and tenders notice of the Town’s election to terminate the Purchase Agreement
prior to Closing.
2. One of the Conditions Precedent for the benefit of the Town as Buyer or for the benefit of
Seller is not satisfied by the Closing date and the Town and Seller do not extend the Purchase
Agreement beyond the Closing date to permit the satisfaction of such condition.
¶2.1 Inspections by Buyer: The Town has conducted building inspections prior to signing the Purchase
Agreement. Buyer’s physical inspection is not a condition of Closing.
¶2.4(a) Permitted Exceptions: The Title Insurance commitment has been reviewed and specific title
exceptions have been identified as items to be addressed and deleted from the title commitment or to be

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FINDINGS
2015 Town Hall Facility Assessment
The Town Hall Facility Assessment and Space Needs Analysis, July 12, 2015, was prepared for the Avon Town
Council, by consultants Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH). The SEH Analysis concluded:
“At a minimum, to satisfy building upgrade requirements and met the future space needs, a major
building remodel will be required to address the sheer number and extent of issues in the existing
shell and interior spaces. As well, we recommend full replacement of all MEP systems and
components to meet the programming needs of the departments. It is likely more cost prohibitive
to correct all the deficiencies than to build a new facility.”
SEH Assessment, Page 18
Skier Building is Lease Cost Option to Address Present Town Hall Facility Deficiencies
The Mountain Vista Office Building and Police Department at the Joint Public Safety Facility is the
least cost option.
No new taxes or tax rate increases are needed for the relocation
Adopted Plans & Planning Review/Update for the Existing Town Hall Site; Potential New Uses
• The 2006 Avon Comprehensive Plan expressly identified a community goal to relocate the Town Hall
and redevelop the existing Town Hall site.
• The Avon West Town Center District Plan, 2007, found the Town Hall building too small for its current
use, outdated and lacking energy efficiency. The plan envisioned a new Town Hall that spanned
both sides of a new Main Street (Fire Station and portion of parking lot and town park) to serve as
a civic anchor. A larger program of commercial/retail, offices, civic uses, affordable and market rate
housing was proposed for the mixed-use Town Hall facility.
Since adoption of the District Plan the Town experienced a severe recession like the rest of the
country and new commercial development on the Main Street Mall did not occur as expected. The
Town recently completed improvements to the Main Street pedestrian mall to advance its on-going
commitment to activate this core area of Town. . The Mountain Vista Office Building meets the
goals of the District Plan: support Town Hall relocation, provides for office spaces and a civic anchor
in close proximity to the library, recreation center and the park and makes the current site available
for a dynamic use.
• The Harry A. Nottingham Master Plan, 2008, was adopted showing the relocation of Town Hall and
new uses at the park.
REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL
140 W Beaver Creek Blvd
Section I
• Stan Clauson and Associates, consultants to the Town, facilitated a public process to consider
future development on Town owned properties. The resulting work was presented to Council and
the public in the Planning Review & Update - Harry A. Nottingham Park Master Plan, Swift Gulch
Master Plan & Lot 5 Development Plan, November 15, 2015. The document recommended:
Locating the Police Department at Buck Creek in a Joint Public Safety Facility.
Utilizing the Mountain Vista Office Building for the balance of Town Hall functions. The report
found the location has broad support and is a preferred location to house the Town’s other
office, Court, community and meeting needs.
That the current Town Hall site be repurposed for potential uses, including but not limited to
enhancing the soccer field and park amenities, new convention space, recreational uses,
parking, performance space, etc.
Main Street Mall Anchor & Synergy
It is an opportune time to work the developers of Lot B and the Seasons’ renovation project to bring a
synergistic program to the Mountain Vista Office Building. Town Hall office functions and community
meeting activity at this location will serve an important anchor for this vibrancy.
SECTION SUMMARY
Section II Chronology of Events
The listing follows the directives, studies and decisions of the Town Council beginning on January 27, 2015,
which supported the work for a purchase agreement for the Mountain Vista Office Building.
Section III Purchase and Sale Agreement
Purchase Price: $1,500,000
Building Uses: Administrative and court offices, Courtroom/Council Chambers, meeting rooms and
community space
Closing Date: June 16, 2016
Additional information is provided on sale terms, including an access easement which would allow Points
of Colorado and Starwood access, utilities, support for a subterranean parking garage abutting the
Mountain Vista Office Building foundation, and crediting for shared open space. The Lot 4 Easement is
intended to preserve all of Starwood’s development rights under the existing PUD which were based on
access, site coverage and the existing configuration of Lot 4.
Section IV Town Hall Facility Assessment & Space Needs Analysis, July 2015
The comprehensive Town Hall Facility Assessment & Space Needs Analysis (Assessment) was developed by
Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH), at the request of Town Council. The Assessment reported on the
deficiencies of the current building and estimated the current space shortages for staff working space.
Future staff space needs were projected. Six facility planning options on three sites were prepared, with a
cost budget developed for each scenario.
The Assessment found the current Town Hall building to be in need of a major remodel or replacement.
The cost budget analysis, with current pricing for the Police Department at the proposed relocation to the
REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL
140 W Beaver Creek Blvd
Section I
Joint Public Safety Facility, plus the purchase and finish of the Mountain Vista Office Building was shown to
be the least cost option.
Section V Master Plans, Review & Updates, Zoning & Subdivision
Relevant master plans and the recent updated planning review are submitted in the section. Current
adopted plans envision the relocation of the existing Town Hall. No PUD or zoning amendment would be
required for the Town to use the property for a Town Hall. Lot 4, where the Mountain Vista Office Building
sits, along with a portion of Lot 5 surrounding Lot 4 must be subdivided to create a consolidated lot that
can be separated from the remainder of the Lot C PUD development and associated declarations.
Section VI Parking Requirements
The Town of Avon is able to meet the Mountain Vista Office Building parking demand on site and in the
vicinity on adjacent Town owned property and rights-of-way, as allowed for by the Town’s Code.
Section VII Renovation & Relocation Options
Bringing the Avon Town Hall Facility Assessment and Space Needs Analysis, Planning Review and Update for
Harry A. Nottingham Park Master Plan, Swift Gulch Master Plan, Lot 5 Development Plan together with the
locational decision for the Police Department at Buck Creek, facility options and costs for the balance of
Town Hall are presented. The comparison shows the Mountain Vista Office Building-Joint Public
Facility/Police Department to be the least cost option.
Section VIII Building Inspection and Structural Report
The Mountain Vista Office Building was inspected by Eagle Eye Inspectors and KRM Consultants provided a
current structural observation. No significant problems were identified, however, HVAC system inspection
showed two items not working. With the plan to replace the HVAC for the needed system for full build-
out, staff did not recommend fixing the items, but rather noticing Points of Colorado of the operational
failure in the units.
Section IX Funding and Development Schedule
Funds for building acquisition are available in the current 2016 Capital Projects Fund. Construction, FF&E
and contingencies to finish the building are available in the Urban Renewal Fund. No new taxes or tax rate
increases are required for the full project.
Should Town Council approve the purchase of the Mountain Vista Office Building, development of the
building for use as a Town Hall could be completed by May 1, 2017.

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS
2.1 JANUARY 27TH: Ad Hoc Committee/Study Group Recommended
At the Council’s January 27, 2015, meeting, Mayor Jennie Fancher recommended the formation of an ad
hoc committee/study group to further explore the acquisition of the Mountain Vista Office Building and
examine whether or not it makes sense to acquire the building. The individuals recommended to be
members of the committee were Mark Kogan, Phil Struve and Councilor Sarah Smith Hymes. It was also
stated that any community members interested in participating in the ad hoc committee/study group
should email Virginia Egger or Jennie Fancher. Angelo Loria, Dominic Mauriello, Brian Sipes joined the
committee as well.
The ad hoc group assisted with the RFQ process and selection of SEH to conduct a facility assessment and
space needs analysis.
2.2 APRIL 28th: IGA Approved for Joint Public Safety Facility
Town Council approved an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Town of Avon and the Eagle
River Fire Protection District (ERFPD), which set forth the terms and conditions for the design,
construction, ownership and operation of a joint fire and police station facility (PSF) on Nottingham Road
between Swift Gulch and Buck Creek Roads (Buck Creek Site). The IGA also detailed the conditions of
Avon’s loan to the ERFPD.
2.3 AUGUST 25TH: Options for Town Hall – Locations, Estimated Costs & Financing
The Avon Town Hall Facility Assessment and Space Needs Analysis is completed by SEH, consultant to the
Town. The consultant met with Council in a study session on August 25th, and reviewed the Assessment
and Analysis.
Also, at the meeting, the staff memo identified the schedule for Stan Clauson Associates work to evaluate
land use options for Tract G, which includes the current Town Hall, Fire Station sites, park and Town
Center West District; including time frame to make a decision on the location for the Avon Police
Department.
2.4 OCTOBER 13TH: Study Session – Tract G, Swift Gulch and Lot 5 Development Options, including
Public Safety and Town Hall Locations, Financing Options and Decision Schedule
Consultants presented the Preliminary Findings Report at the public Study Session.
• The consultant and participants at the charette recommended:
The Police Department be located at Buck Creek
Town Hall’s other departments be located at the Mountain Vista Office Building; or, if the
building is not available at the Fire Station once vacated by the ERFPD
The current condition of Town Hall requires a renovation or relocation in the near future
Opportunities to repurpose the site of other park uses favored relocation
The Mountain Vista Office Building was the favored location, with the Fire station being noted
as an alternate location
• Moving forward with a new URA bond, which could generate upwards of $6,000,000 in new
revenues; tenant finish of the Mountain Vista Office Building is an eligible cost

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
3.1 Introduction
The Town conducted an appraisal of the building in March, 2014, which calculated a value of
$2,042,500. The Points of Colorado appraisal, during the same time, concluded the value of the
property at $4,195,000. Both estimates assumed no parking would need to be purchased. The Town
and seller negotiated a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with price of $3.2M. The PSA was
approved by ordinance, but was subject to approval by ordinance of Certificate of Participation
Financing by the Town of Avon. A citizen petition for referendum was submitted for Ordinance 14-18
approving the Certificate of Participation Financing, which Council referred to a special election.
Approval of Ordinance No. 14-18 did not pass and the PSA was then terminated.
A new appraisal was not ordered for the negotiation authorized by Town Council. Rather, the Town
relied on the assumptions for a calculated value prepared by Mr. Mark Kogan. The set price of $1.5
million eventually was negotiated.
3.2 The Property
The Property is owned by Points of Colorado, Inc., a Colorado corporation. The purchase is for Lot 4,
Mountain Vista Resort Subdivision, including the Phase 1B Office Building in the Mountain Vista Resort
Subdivision. Included are all improvements and appurtenances, and the Skier Bronze Statue.
Excluded from the purchase are 44 parking spaces designated for the Mountain Vista Office Building
and located on other adjacent property owned by Points of Colorado. The Property is being sold in an
“as is” condition. Town has been given the opportunity to perform inspections of the building and
the title prior to executing the PSA.
3.3 Purchase and Sale Agreement
The PSA is provided with Ordinance 16-07, in this packet. Specific terms in the PSA are highlighted as
follows:
Purchase Price: $1,500,000
Deposit: $75,000
Closing Date: June 16, 2016
Inspections: No right of inspection, Property is to be purchased “as is”. Town has already conducted
inspections and inspection updates prior to signing the PSA. The inspections are discussed in Section
VIII of this Report.
Right of First Refusal: The Property would be subject to a Right of First Refusal for 3 years that would
allow Points of Colorado to repurchase the Property for $1.5 Million if sold by the Town.
Lot 4 Easement: The Property would be subject to an easement on the undeveloped portions of Lot
4 (meaning the area of Lot 4 outside the existing building footprint) which would allow Points of
Colorado and Starwood access, utilities, support for a subterranean parking garage abutting the
Mountain Vista Office Building foundation, and crediting for shared open space. The Lot 4 Easement
REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL
140 W Beaver Creek Blvd
SECTION III
is intended to preserve all of Starwood’s development rights under the existing PUD which were
based on access, site coverage and the existing configuration of Lot 4.
Common Interest Community Exclusion: Lot 4 would be excluded from the Mountain Vista Resort
common interest community, and therefore, would not be subject to assessments or costs related to
this common ownership interest community.
Conditions Precedent to Closing: There are several conditions that must be satisfied before each
party is required to closing on the Property, highlighted as follows:
• The Avon Town Council must adopt an Ordinance approving the PSA. [NOTE: the adoption of
an Ordinance is subject to the public process in accordance with the Avon Home Rule Charter.
Adoption of an Ordinance is subject to the discretion of the Avon Town Council members
after conducting public hearings. If the Avon Town Council does not adopt an ordinance then
the $75,000 Deposit would be returned to the Town.]
• Town must approve a subdivision replat of Lots 2C, 4 and 5 to create the Lot 4 configuration
for purchase as requested by the Town.
• Lot 4 must be withdrawn from the Mountain Vista Resort common interest community.
• The Agreement and Plan of Merger between Interval Leisure Group and Starwood Vacation
Ownership must be completed.
Ordinance Not Subject to Referendum: Avon Home Rule Charter Section 7.2(a) states that ordinances for
the acquisition of municipal properties are not subject to referendum. Additionally, the Colorado Court of
Appeals ruled in Friends of Denver Parks v. City and County of Denver, 327 P.3d 311 (Colo.App.2013) that a
real estate contract is an administrative action and is therefore not subject to referendum. An ordinance
approving the PSA is not subject to citizen referendum in Avon.

AVON TOWN HALL FACILITY ASSESSMENT
AND SPACE NEEDS ANALYSIS
Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH)
4.1 Introduction
The Town Council authorized consultant services to conduct a facility assessment and to estimate the
space needs for services in the current Town Hall. The firm of Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) was
hired. SEH’s report was completed on July 12, 2015 and presented to Town Council on August 26, 2016.
The full report is provided in Appendix 2.
4.2 Town Hall Facility Assessment
The SEH Analysis concluded:
“At a minimum, to satisfy building upgrade requirements and met the future space needs, a major
building remodel will be required to address the sheer number and extent of issues in the existing
shell and interior spaces. As well, we recommend full replacement of all MEP systems and
components to meet the programming needs of the departments. It is likely more cost
prohibitive to correct all the deficiencies than to build a new facility.” [SEH Report, Page 18]
The Assessment stated:
• The existing Avon Town Hall facility is out of date with current codes, including ADA accessibility
requirements with non-conforming existing conditions that would require extensive remodel to
the majority of building shell and floor areas. The ADA deficiencies include inadequate spaces with
non-compliant ADA door and turning-area clearances, non-compliant handrails, and non-
compliant restrooms, shower and locker facilities. Also currently there is not an accessible access
to the basement level, because the elevator only serves the First and Second floors of the
building.
• A completely new building designed to meet current codes on the same site, or a newly
constructed building on a new site, in order to address every issue will be required.
• In addition to code issues, there are many operational issues that would require total upgrades of
systems throughout the building, including HVAC systems, acoustical partitioning, and energy
upgrades, to name a few. The atrium area is noted as having skylight leakage into the ceiling of
employee offices. The HVAC system is over 30 years old and in need of complete replacement.
The systems require continuous maintenance to keep them running.
• It is our recommendation the mechanical systems be replaced to meet the function and operation
of the facility.
• The structural condition of the building is in ‘good’ to ‘very good’ condition and the building
appears to be performing in an acceptable manner. The leaks and the exterior finishes should be
repaired as required to maintain water proofing. It appears that the ceiling in the atrium area was
installed with slack in the suspension rod system. In order to cosmetically improve the ceiling, it is
recommended to adjust the tension rods as required to level the ceiling tiles.
• International Building Code issues include inaccessible spaces, inadequately sized means of
egress, failure to meet life/safety fire codes for an institutional occupancy, and failure to meet
energy code requirements.
REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL
140 W Beaver Creek Blvd
SECTION IV
• The spaces provided by the police and courts are not accessible per the code requirements in
ANSI Standards 117.1, 304, 404.2.3.2, 604.8, 606.6, and 608, nor per the ADA Standards for
Accessible Design which have many of the same requirements. ADA is a federal law, while ANSI
refers to code requirements. Numerous ADA/ANSI Standard Code violations have been noted
throughout the building. These include inadequate space requirements, door clearances, turn-
around spaces, restroom, shower, and locker room facilities, and countertop heights.
• An institutional occupancy (which includes the holding cells) is required by code to be fully
sprinkled. This is a major life safety issue as a person held in these cells would not have the ability
to exit the space on their own.
• In order to meet current energy codes, lighting systems would need to be upgraded. Exterior
walls would need to have continuous insulation added to them. Windows and doors would have
to be replaced with energy efficient double pane
4.3 Space Needs Analysis
The review and projection of space needs through a planning horizon of 2035 for police department
square footage; and, year 2025 for all other departments, found the following square footage needs:
The proposed relocation of departments into two new facilities is as follows:

MASTER PLANS, REVIEW & UPDATES,
ZONING & SUBDIVISION
5.1 Master Plans
5.1.1 The Avon West Town Center District Investment Plan (District Plan) was completed in August of
2007, with the stated purpose to encourage and facilitate revitalization of the planning area
(Appendix 3). Specific to Town Hall, the District Plan found the Town Hall building too small for its
current use, outdated and lacking energy efficiency. The plan envisioned a new Town Hall that
spanned both sides of a new Main Street (Fire Station and portion of parking lot and town park)
to serve as a civic anchor. A larger program of commercial/retail, offices, civic uses, affordable
and market rate housing was proposed for the facility. Once Town Hall was relocated, the current
site would be sold ideally for a high quality hotel. The total projected cost was $18,400,000, with
the goal of recouping monies through the sale of the site for the hotel.
Since adoption of the District Plan, voters required that any land sale be approved at the ballot,
the full Main Street has been developed the pedestrian mall and the economy has been
challenging. The Mountain Vista Office Building meets the goals of the District Plan: support
Town Hall relocation, provides for office spaces and a civic anchor in close proximity to the library,
recreation center and the park and makes the current site available for a dynamic use.
5.1.2 The Master Plan for Harry A. Nottingham Park, 2008 (Park Plan) also identifies the relocation of
Town Hall from its current site (Appendix 4). A highly collaborative process, the Park Plan found
that once Town Hall was relocated the current site should be made available to the growth of the
park, park support facilities, parking and a performance stage.
5.1.3 The Planning Review & Update – Harry A. Nottingham Park Master Plan, Swift Gulch Master Plan
and Lot 5 Development Plan (Plan Review and Update) was developed in the fall of 2016
(Appendix 5). Town Council retained Stan Clauson and Associates to assist the community in
review all Town-owned Mountain Vista Office Building for future uses. For Town Hall, the
Mountain Vista Office Building was identified as a preferred site, followed by the Fire Station.
The Plan Review and Update expanded the opportunities for what could happen at the current
Fire Station and Town Hall parcels, with adjoining parking lots and parks maintenance buildings.
“Strong support was given at the Public Open House as well as in the Council work session for
pursuing enhancements to the Park. The support was provided based on the understanding of
the greater opportunity in costs of keeping Town Hall at its current location rather than providing
community gathering spaces.” Ideas on what would be an approximately 4.5 acre site included
field expansion, convention center, mixed use structures, and live/work.
The Plan Review and Update is currently being evaluated by the Planning and Zoning Commission
for recommendation to the Town Council as a master plan amendment.
REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL
140 W Beaver Creek Blvd
SECTION V
5.2 Zoning/PUD Uses
No PUD amendment would be required for the Town to use the Property for a Town Hall.
The Town approved the Lot C PUD Development Plan on February 22, 2000. Allowed uses include retail
stores, restaurants, hotels, financial institutions, professional offices and “additional uses determined to
be similar to allowed uses in accordance with the intent of this zone district, to be approved by the
zoning administrator.” Town Hall use is essentially an office use and determining that Town Hall is an
allowed use under the Lot C PUD Development Plan is within the discretion of the zoning administrator.
The only recognized difference in the Avon Development Code is under Table 28-2 where the off-street
parking requirement for Commercial Office is three (3) spaces per 1,000 sqft and the off-street parking
requirement for Governmental Services and Offices is four (4) spaces per 1,000 sqft. Parking
requirements are discussed further in Section VII.
5.3 Subdivision
Acquisition will require a subdivision to create a practical consolidated lot that can be separated from the
remainder of the Lot C PUD development and associated declarations. The lot proposed in provided in
the Sales and Purchase Agreement. It is 10,840 square feet.
The proposed subdivision as depicted would include the areas around Lot 4 as well as a 10’ setback on the
north east and northwest sides of the building.
Sec. 7.16.070 of the Avon Development Code sets forth subdivision procedures. The recommended
subdivision will not require public improvements; therefore, the minor subdivision process is applicable.
ADC Sec. 7.16.070(d) (2). Minor Subdivisions only require one step approval by the Town Council, after
conducting a public hearing, and may be approved by resolution or ordinance. The review criteria for
both preliminary and final plat review apply to the minor subdivision process. The building is already
constructed on the Property, therefore, the only real issue for consideration is compliance with parking
requirements if the Property is purchased and separated from the on-site parking constructed to serve
this Property.
REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL

SECTION VI
PARKING REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Overview of Parking Requirements
Sec. 7.16.070 of the Avon Development Code states that the Development Code is applicable to federal,
state, county and municipal governments to the extent permitted by law. Sec. 7.16.070(e)(1) states as the
first review criteria that the proposed subdivision shall comply with all applicable use, density,
development and design standards in the Development Code. As a result, parking requirements are
outlined in Chapter 7.28 of the Avon Development Code and are applicable to Town Hall use of the
building.
Table 7.28-2 states the parking requirement is 4 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross
floor area for:
• Public and Institutional Uses
• Community Services
• Government services, offices and facilities
Available Parking Requirement Reductions -The Director may determine that a proposed use represents a
combination of uses i.e. Government office and community center or Town Hall and Rec Center and apply
a 15% reduction.
6.2 Parking Requirements – No additional parking is needed
• The Mountain Vista Office Building – 55 Spaces
The total gross floor area of the building is 16,273 square feet. The floor area is then reduced
by 10% for the purpose of calculating parking requirements per Sec. 7.28.020(g) (3) which is
14,645 sq.ft. The Code requires 4 parking spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. for government services,
which equals 59 parking spaces. 59 total parking spaces are required for Mountain Vista Lot
4. Sec. 7.28.020(g)(4)(ii) allows for the submittal of a parking demand study based on the
Institute of Traffic Engineers Parking General Manual which can support further reduction of
parking based on mixed uses and shared parking. Mixed-use projects can often support a
further reduction of required parking by 15% based on this analysis. The Town Hall facility may
be considered part of a mixed-use development grouping along with the Avon Recreation
Center and Nottingham Park uses.
6.3 Long Term Parking, including Future Recreation Center Expansion
• Recreation Center Expansion – 225 - 264 Spaces
The parking analysis for the existing Recreation Center and Phase 2 Expansion yielded a total
demand for 225 - 264 spaces.
• Total Space Demand Projection: 274 – 321 Spaces
6.4 Parking: On-Site and Available in the Vicinity: 337 Spaces
• 35 parking spaces are provided in the lot immediately adjacent to the building (owned by the
Town and zoned Public) and count toward the minimum required parking
• 25 on-street parking spaces are provided on W Benchmark Road immediately south of the
building, but these may not be applied to count toward the parking requirement
REPORT TO TOWN COUNCIL
140 W Beaver Creek Blvd
SECTION VI
• 84 parking spaces are available on the northeast side of the Recreation Center parking lot just
west of the building across W Benchmark Road
• 39 additional parking spaces are available on the southwest side of the Recreation Center
parking lot
• 39 on-street parking spaces are provided on both sides of Lake Street
• 23 parking spaces are available on the east side of the existing Town Hall building
• An additional 38 parking spaces are available on the west side of the existing Town Hall
building
• 14 on-street parking spaces are available along W Benchmark Road on the south side of the
Fire station
• 40 new parking spaces may be developed on Benchmark Road, south of The Seasons
(Estimated cost $250,000)
6.5 Alternative Parking Scenarios
Avon’s Development Code has well detailed provisions for “off-site parking.” Sec. 7.28.020(4) of the
Development Code states that the required parking must be on same lot as the building served by the
parking, "except as otherwise provided in this Section.”
There are two options for off-site parking:
1. Sec. 7.28.020(h) allows off-site parking where the required parking is on a different lot than the
lot which contains the building served by the parking if approved by a PUD and if the parking is
within 500’ of the building served.
2. Sec. 7.28.020(i) defines Public Parking Districts and Facilities and permits a “Public Parking
District” to be defined and approved in the Avon Comprehensive Plan which may be owned by
the Town. This option is easier and more straightforward to the nature of the project and
surrounding Town property and allows the Town to establish a parking plan for the Town
properties owned and designate this area a “Public Parking District”. Staff finds this scenario to
be a reasonable solution to meet the parking requirement and be in conformance with the
Town’s Development Code.
Recommendation
A total of 337 parking spaces may be designated in a Public Parking District based on the parking counts
outlined above. The Town, therefore, should consider, at an appropriate time, a Comprehensive Plan
update to define a “Public Parking District” comprised of Town properties that include the new Avon
Town Hall, Recreation Center, Library, Nottingham Park, current Town Hall and Fire Station site.

RENOVATION & RELOCATION OPTIONS
7.1 Introduction
The Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) report reviewed six planning options for three sites, including
the existing Town Hall site, Fire Station site and the Mountain Vista Office Building. These options were
reviewed by the Town Council at the August 26, 2015, presentation of the SEH report. The Council
subsequently, through a series of work sessions reviewed the planning work facilitated with the Clauson
and Associates, which provided options for the citing of the Police Department and Town Hall. On
February 23, 2016, by motion and vote, the Town Council approved a ballot question for the relocation of
the Police Department to the Joint Public Safety Facility at Buck Creek, in an amount not to exceed $6.5M,
with debt financing.
7.2 Town Hall Facility Location Options & Estimated Costs
Bringing the Avon Town Hall Facility Assessment and Space Needs Analysis, Planning Review and Update for
Harry A. Nottingham Park Master Plan, Swift Gulch Master Plan, Lot 5 Development Plan together with the
locational decision for the Police Department at Buck Creek, the following table summarizes the facility
options and costs for the balance of Town Hall.
The lowest cost Town Hall option is acquisition of the Mountain Vista Office Building at $1.5M, with final
tenant improvements at $3,091,173, for a total of $4,591,173. When adding in the Police Department at
Buck Creek, the total relocation of all Town Hall uses, with Town Hall at the Mountain Vista Office
Building, is projected as the least cost option.

BUILDING INSPECTION REPORT
& STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING LETTER
8.1 Introduction
A commercial Building Inspection Report, dated April 21, 2014, was provided for the Town of Avon by Eagle
Eye Home Inspections for the Mountain Vista Office Building. At that time, Points of Colorado repaired
roof mounted forced air heating/cooling units, which were identified as a deficiency. Small minor repair
items and entryway and sidewalk concrete slabs were accepted by the Town for Town repair. The Town
also had two structural engineers review the building: Monroe & Newell (October, 2014) and KRM
Consultants (December, 2014). Each firm independently concluded, based upon visual observation, the
building to be in good structural condition. The building inspection report and structural engineering
review were conducted again in February 2016.
8.2 Building Inspection Report – February 21, 2016
Eagle Eye Inspections conducted a thorough inspection of the building and found minor damage
consistent with a building that is 15-years old. The inspection revealed two items related to the HVAC
system: “North stairwell space heater fails to produce heat when thermostat is On” and “Outside/return
air baffles are in varied positions (same position is expected when all thermostats are in one location and
all settings are the same). Recommend further evaluation by an HVAC electronics technician.” As staff
believes replacement of the HVAC system as part of the interior finishing will be required after, it is not
recommended that repairs be made. Considering, however, that there are at least two (2) months of
winter left before the intended Closing and in the interest of avoiding any distraction that may arise from
HVAC operating issues during the public review process, staff noticed and suggested to Points of
Colorado that they inspect the current HVAC system and perform maintenance or repair, if necessary, so
that it is fully operational until Closing. There is a small list of other maintenance items Town staff
believes are minor and which Town should accept "as is". There are no other inspection issues that are of
concern to the Town staff. The complete report is provided in Appendix 6.
8.3 Structural Observation – February 28, 2016
KRM Consultants updated their independent analysis of the structural integrity of the buildings first
completed in December 2014. The firm did not find any changes to the structural soundness of the
building and did not observe anything unusual that would lead to believe there is a structural concern
with the building. The consultant noted that if the Town is concerned with any potential building
settlement, a geotechnical engineer can be hired to conduct additional analysis. Staff is not
recommending additional analysis because any ground settlement is expected to have already occurred
due to the age of the building. The report is found in Appendix 7.

side and an asphalt overlay. The attached easement agreements allow the selected contractor and
the Town the right of access to property to construct, repair, and maintain underground and
aboveground drainage facilities. Proposed drainage facilities will be constructed within the existing
Town right‐of –way however access to private property will be required to construct and to tie in
minor grading changes. Temporary Construction Easement Agreements are required for Lots #33,
#34, #35, #36, and #37. The term of the temporary construction easements shall begin on April 1, 2016
and expire on December 31, 2016. A permanent drainage easement on Lot #33 will remain in place
and is required for access to and maintenance of an existing storm drainage structure near the

Council Report – Food Trucks on Town Property/Right-of-Ways and MVC’s in Park Page 1
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Danita Dempsey, Director of Festivals & Special Events
Virginia C. Egger, Town Manager
Meeting Date: March 22, 2016
Agenda Topic: Review and Direction in Regards to Allowing One or More Food Trucks to Operate on
Town Property and Right-of-Ways; and, to Allowing One or More Mobile Vendor
Carts to Operate at Harry A. Nottingham Park at Designated Locations
ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL
To review and offer direction in regards to allowing one or more food trucks to operate on Town
property and right-of-ways; and/or to allowing mobile vendor carts in the Harry A. Nottingham Park,
in designated locations.
PROPOSED MOTION
This is not an action item. If Council determines that food trucks and/or mobile vendor carts are
desired, a resolution will be prepared for locations and an ordinance prepared for food trucks. The
action items would be presented at the April 12, 2016, Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
Mayor Jennie Fancher and Mayor Pro Tem Jake Wolf asked staff to review and make
recommendations whether mobile vending carts should be allowed in Nottingham Park; and,
whether food trucks should be permitted on Town property and right-of-ways, respectively. Based
upon a staff collaborative review, staff offers the following:
FOOD TRUCKS ON TOWN PROPERTY AND RIGHT-OF-WAYS
Food truck operations are currently allowed on private property under the definition of Temporary
Use in AMC 7.24.080 (e) (1) Temporary Structures and (3) Outdoor Sales or Events.
AMC 7.24.080(f) (1) exempts outdoor sales and events that do not exceed five (5) calendar
days in a calendar year; a food truck for up to five (5) days in a calendar year is permissible
without Town approval.
Administrative approval can be given for up to 30 days.
For longer term operations, Planning and Zoning review and approval is required.
Over the past couple of years, the Burrito Gondola/Cart on the Westin Plaza was approved on
private property. In the code, there is a comprehensive list of review criteria that apply for
review of Temporary Uses.
In evaluating the opportunity to permit food trucks in the commercial core on public property, staff
completed outreach to local restaurants. Of the ten (10) restaurants contacted by phone and/or
email, during the period of March 7 through March 10, 2016, six (6) restauranteurs provided
Council Report – Food Trucks on Town Property/Right-of-Ways and MVC’s in Park Page 2
feedback. The responses were varying in support stating “higher concentration of dining options in
Avon will benefit all business”; and, “adding permanent vendor truck/carts would not increase the
total sales tax collected for the town, but would negatively affect the individual businesses and
might put some out of business”; and, “food trucks kill local restaurants. If that’s your goal, you’ll
love them”. Additionally, two restaurants offered the Town should not allow food trucks in the
“shoulder season”, when it is already difficult to attract business.
In preparation for Tuesday’s work session, notice of this topic was included in Avon’s regular Vail
Daily ad on March 21st, and an email of this memo was sent to all restaurants in the commercial core
on March 17th.
In considering the potential locations for food trucks, should Council wish to provide permitting,
staff evaluated locations based upon:
1) If a site provided for easy walkability for patrons of the food truck business;
2) The gathering of patrons on adjacent sidewalks would not unduly impede pedestrian
traffic flow; and,
3) The general carrying capacity of a location when considering vehicular and bus traffic
volumes.
As a result, what may be considered an obvious location for a food truck, the parking spaces on West
Benchmark in front of the Mall, was eliminated as an area too busy with vehicular and bus traffic,
delivery trucks and occasional use for staging events at the Mall. The spaces have also become
popular for daily vehicular parking.
In order of priority, the following locations were determined available to accommodate one food
truck: See Exhibit A
Number of Locations - Up to four (4) locations:
1. Recreation Center West parking lot, west side of the lot closest to the grassy area; this
location would not be available during festivals.
2. East Benchmark Road in the current Christy Sports bus pullout. This bus pullout has low
ridership and is in proximity to the City Market bus pullout. The location is also next to
the Town’s small open space parcel.
3. West Beaver Creek Boulevard in two (2) on-street parking spaces, located on north side
of the Road, in front of the Post Office.
4. West Beaver Creek Boulevard in two (2) on-street parking spaces located on south side
of the Road, in front of Avon Center.
Months of Operation – January – April Closing of the Ski Area and, July - September
Regulations
The Town has adopted regulations for Mobile Vendor Carts (MVC) on the Main Street Mall,
which can be made applicable to food trucks, with some modifications. The current
regulations, which are developed and implemented by the Town Manager, include:
Permit Term
Days and Hours of the
Operation
Permit Area & Refuse Plan
Size and Type of MVC
Signage

VENDOR CARTS IN NOTTINGHAM PARK
Vendors are allowed as peddlers in Nottingham Park through a permitting process. Vendors are not
allowed at this time to set up sales in one location. Recommendations to allow permanent daily
location, with removal each evening, are as follows:
Number of locations - Up to four (4) locations
Locations & Number per Site – See Exhibit B
1. One cart – North side of the park, near pedestrian bridge in northwest corner of lake.
2. Two carts – North side of the park, on the east side of the fishing pier, near water’s
edge.
3. One cart – South side of the park, near boat docks and across recreational path log
cabin; this location would not be permitted to operate during festivals.
Months of Operation – Memorial Day through Labor Day
Outdoor Use of Amplified Sound – Per AMC 5.24 an Amplified Sound Permit would be
required to use a loudspeaker, radio/IPod with speakers, etc. however, considering the level
of public activity and enjoyment to all park user’s, it is staff’s recommendation to not allow
amplified sound to emit from MVC’s in the park

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Councilors Megan Burch and Sarah Smith Hymes
Meeting Date: March 22, 2016
Agenda Topic: Request to Set a Date for a Town Clean-up Day on May 14th and Funding of $3,500
ACTION BEFORE TOWN COUNCIL
Councilors Megan Burch and Sarah Smith Hymes are requesting the Town Council to set a date for an
all-Town clean-up day and to provide funding in the amount of $3,500 expenses, including an after
event gathering in Nottingham Park
PROPOSED MOTION
If Council wishes to proceed on the request, the following motion is offered:
I move to approve the date of May 14th for an all Town Clean-up Day and authorize the expenditure of
$2,500 from the General Fund - Community Picnic line item, plus an additional $1,000 from the
General Fund Contingency, for expenses.
BACKGROUND
The Eagle River Watershed Council's 16th Annual Community Pride Hwy Cleanup is scheduled for
May 7th. This successful volunteer effort focuses on the highway system and river corridor. In
addition to this spring clean-up, the Town of Avon provides an annual residential clean-up service for
five (5) business days. Residents are encouraged to clean out most unwanted items and yard waste.
Oils, electronic equipment, tires, refrigerators and construction materials are not allowed in the
disposal service. The Town Public Works Department picks up items curbside once a resident calls in
a request and Vail Honey Wagon has provided complimentary dumpsters. An estimated 85% of
residences participate in the program.
One area of the Town, which is not addressed, is our bike paths and street right-of-ways. It seems
that a similar volunteer effort could be successful. We are proposing the following schedule,
activities and budget to get these areas of Town cleaned.
May 9 – 13th Annual Residential Clean-up Week – Monday – Friday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
May 14th Town of Avon Clean-Up Day – Road, Street and Path ROWs
• 9:00 a.m. – Noon Area Clean-Up – Organized by Neighborhoods
• Noon – 2 p.m. Nottingham Pavilion Luncheon for Volunteers
Budget: Food $2,000
Advertising 400
Commodities 800
Music 300
Contingency 1,000

From: Kelly Huitt, Budget Analyst
Date: March 15, 2016
Re: Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Report – January/February
Revenues:
SALES TAX
• Sales tax revenue for the month of January is down $21,506 or -2.81% compared to January 2015, and down
-1.42% compared to the budget. This decrease includes $16,612 from new businesses, and after adjusting for
new business growth, -3.29% is the loss in revenue from existing business for the month.
• January sales tax collections are up for the Grocery, Specialty, and Health category at 9.31%, Sporting Goods
Rental/Retail is up 9.12%, and Restaurants/Bars increased 6.27% compared to January 2015. However, a few
categories had substantial declines: Miscellaneous Retail decreased -11.66%, Other businesses are down
-52.94%, Home/Garden is down -14.56% and Service Related entities declined -11.51%. The decrease in
existing business growth from Miscellaneous Retail can be partially attributed to two entities being re-
categorized. The large decrease in the Service Related category is due to wide variances in returns from
interior design and architecture businesses which were unusually low in January 2016. The Other business
category is down due to large construction related returns from the Wyndham project in January 2015
totaling $48,756.
