Town Council Chambers of the Town of Avon in the Bench-
mark Shopping Center, Avon, Colorado. The meeting was

Item #5, Avon Center at Beaver Creek, Vacation of Lot Lines,
Lots 47-54, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision, File No. 80-4-4.
(Continued)
At the request of Avon Center, there will be a preliminary
hearing on this issue tonight. Bill McCoy represented
Avon Center. The present eight lots would be changed
into three parcels, depending on acquisition and phasing.
Parcel and phase one would be on the east end, parcel and
phase two in the middle and parcel and phase three on the
west end. Avon Center is asking for vacation of lot
lines and easements in all three phases. If for some
reason the project must be terminated ,at the end of phase
one or phase two, the setback requirements would be met.
The Board would like to see, or have Dick Evans check, a
footprint of the building within the new property lines.
After discussion, this proposal was continued to June 4,
1980 as published.
(Item #r5), Avon Center at Beaver Creek, Modifications,
Lots 47-54, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision, File No.
79-11-5.
Bill McCoy and Ken Shapiro presented the modifications
as discussed at the work session on May 12, 1980 and the
Board meeting on May 7, 1980. The Board had asked for more
covered connections between the shopping areas, some atten-
tion given to the access through the parking garage be-
tween the commercial areas and approval of the modifications
would not void the previous approval of the project. Avon
Center added walks and accesses into the main area, de-
lineated accesses onto the mall.
Bill Pierce asked for input from the audience regarding
this proposal and there was none.
Doors along these walks into the stores will be service
entrances and fire exits. There will be camera surveil-
lance in the parking area. Lighting and perhaps graphic
-1-
designs and display windows might be used to enhance the
walks along the parking garage. If possible, the Board
would like to see the original plan constructed. If the
parking requirements are reduced at some future date, some
of the parking area can be reconverted into commercial area.
There being no objections, the modifications were granted
final approval.
Item #3, Sun Eagle, Inc., Lot 111, Block 1, Wildridge
Subdivision, File No. 80-5-2.
Larry Goad represented Sun Eagle. When the Avon Town Council
approved the transfer of one unit for a total of seven units
on this lot, they requested that two buildings be constructed one building with three units and one building with four
units. Materials - pine, fir or spruce siding boards
with a clear, penetrating seal. The trim will be a light
tan, Olympia 705, 707-710 or equivalent. Shake shingle
roof. Railings will be wood open, 2 X 2. Garage doors
will match the trim, and be of wood, 2--car garages. Each
unit will have two bedrooms and a third multi -purpose
room on the same level. Each unit has a sunken patio
and concrete and railroad tie riffraff to shore up the
hillside in the back. Drainage - comes down the hillside;
along the building and off into the natural grade of the
road. There is a culvert, 18 inches, to drain across
underneath the driveway. It was noted by the Board that
a build-up of snow could occur up to the patio door.
There is a passive solar system with electrical heat
back-up.
Landscaping - Dick Evans quoted from the Design Review
Board Procedures, Rules and Regulations, Ordinance No.
78-9, Section 5.21 that sod is to be used, not natural
grass. Mike Blair stated that this project's landscaping
plan follows the guidelines of the Wildridge Protective
Covenants. It was suggested that an ordinance be written
to the effect that the landscaping guidelines of the Wild -
ridge Protective Covenants are to be used in that subdi-
vision rather than the guidelines stated in Ordinance No.
78-9. There was no objection to the idea that a natural
vegetation should be reestablished on the site. It was
decided since the Wildridge Protective Covenants were
accepted by the Avon Town Council that they should be the
guidelines followed by the Board for projects in Wildridge.
The Board stated that the landscaping plan is not as devel-
oped as it could be.
Ken Hardwick made the motion to grant conceptual approval
with the exception of the landscaping. Larry Kumpost
seconded the motion and added that approval would be con-
tingent on siding samples and color samples. Ken withdrew
his motion. Larry Goad requested final approval for this
project. The Board stated that revised landscaping plans
would be necessary before final approval can be granted.
Dick Evans stated that building samples and revised land-
scaping plans must be submitted before a building permit
can be issued,.
Lighting - lamp -type on poles.
The Board stated that the revised landscaping plan should
include the single aspen, drainage regarding the concen-
tration of flow into a retaining swale and whether the
proposed Mountain Juniper can be transplanted. There
being no objections final approval was granted subject
to the revised landscaping plan. Larry Goad will be back
before the Board by June 18, 1980 with his revised plan.

Item #2, Peregrine Properties, Lots 62-64, Block 2, Bench-
mark Subdivision, File No. 79-12-4.
David Towbin represented Peregrine Properties. There are
spaces for 311 cars underneath the structure, 58 surface
parking spaces. Loading is also hidden. There will be
a spillway of water in the inner mall. Landscaping is de-
signed to blend into the public mall and includes planters.
There are 103 units and 103 secured parking spaces, the
additional cars are in an unsecured area. There are
one, two and three bedroom units, the three bedroom units
are on the top floor. David would like to put glass on
the north side of the elevator and stairways if the
mechanics work out.
Bill Pierce asked for input from the audience regarding
this proposal and there was none.
Bill Pierce commended David for the progress in this project
and the landscaping plan. The colors in this project and
Avon Center will match. Both projects will have metal
roofs. There will be a blown, heavy textured finish, a
concrete plaster with a sealed, mat finish. The substrait
will be steel. The stucco will be one inch thick. The
Board is concerned that the finish is uniform. All the
metal work around the windows and doors will be anodized
bronze. This project will start in August and will not
be phased. Snow removal and storage need to be studied.
Larry Kumpost made the motion to grant final approval with
the following conditions: 1) Peregrine Properties will
meet the Town's filtration and discharge standards for
drainage when set by the Town of Avon; 2) subject to accept-
able design and financial interface of Peregrine Properties'
landscape plan with the proposed exterior mall plan when
finally designed and an agreement in principal to partici-
pate on some 'pro rata' basis in the additional cost of
this proposed town mall area; 3) subject to Town of Avon's
granting vacation of lot lines and easements interior
on this site; 4) subject to final agreement at a future
date on the color of the ballast used on the flat roofs;
5) subject to future approval of the Design Review Board
of the interior public ways; 6) final approval of landscaping
and lighting plan; 7) final approval on color and texture
of roofs. Alice Alpi seconded the motion and it was passed
unanimously.

for parking. The siding is rough sawn plywood with ver-
tical batts in it. The color will be #726 Olympic trans-
parent stain, light brown, and dark trim.
Landscaping - the grass will be natural. Aspen, juniper
bushes and sagebrush will be used. The doors and windows
will be stained dark like the trim. The decks and railings
will be made of redwood. The windows will be pella clad,
wood windows with metal clad and are flush with the building.
The final grade slopes away from the building. The drive
