TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members
FROM: Elizabeth Pierce-Durance, Special Counsel to the Town
Danita Dempsey, Events Manager
RE: Ordinance 22-02 Second Reading
DATE: March 2, 2022
SUMMARY: Ordinance 22-02 amends Section 9.12.080(c) of the Avon Municipal Code to clarify that special
event permits issued by the Town authorize consumption of free alcohol on Town-owned property, and to
clarify that people may consume alcohol they receive free-of-charge on Town-designated property without
violating Avon’s open container law.
BACKGROUND: In 2015, Council revised AMC Sec 9.12.080 to allow consumption of alcohol on public
property pursuant to a “private event” permit issued by the Town. That language explicitly authorized
consumption for two types of events held on public property:
• a “special event” – i.e., open to the public – at which alcohol is sold by the drink and which is covered
by a state-issued liquor license (Special Event Permit) (AMC Sec. 9.12.080(c)(1)) and
• a “private event” – i.e., closed to the public – at which alcohol may be given away free of charge
(AMC Sec. 9.12.080(c)(3)) and which requires no type of state-issued liquor license.
Omitted from this list are public events at which alcohol is given away free of charge. The proposed ordinance
fills that gap by adding “special events” to authorizations provided by AMC Sec 9.12.080(c)(3).
In 2019, Council revised AMC Sec 9.12.080 to authorize the Council and/or Town Manager to designate
events permitting persons over 21 and older to “bring and consume” alcohol beverages on Town property.
State law does not require that persons “bring” their own alcohol to avoid open container prosecution;
including that limitation in Avon’s law seems unnecessary. Removing it will clarify that persons who consume
alcohol they receive from another person on Town-owned property, in addition to alcohol they bring in
themselves, are covered by the exception to the open container law set out at AMC Sec 9.12.080(c)(4).
ANALYSIS: Amending AMC Sec 9.12.080(c)(3) to include “special events” along with “private events” will
ensure that persons attending any Town-permitted event involving free drinks are not violating Avon’s law
regarding public consumption. This will ease administration for the Culture, Arts & Special Events Manager,
who requested this Code review and proposed change. Both private and public permitted events involve
formal agreements with the Town, which agreements regulate the use of alcohol.
Amending AMC Sec 9.12.080(c)(4) to eliminate the words “bring and” removes confusion regarding whether
the source of publicly consumed alcohol matters. Council adopted the language set out at Sec. (c)(3) in 2019
in response to a change in state law making it lawful for people to drink on public property when “specifically
authorized by ordinance, resolution or rule adopted by a municipality.” See Colorado Revised Statutes
(C.R.S.) § 44-3-901(1)(i)(VII), relocated from § 12-47-910(h)(VII). That state provision has no requirement
that a public drinker consume only alcohol they bring with them so that Avon may amend its Code as
recommended here consistent with state law.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed amendments create no cost to the Town.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 22-02.
970-376-2876 epd@piercedurancelaw.com
PROPOSED MOTION: I move to approve on Second Reading Ordinance 22-02, which modifies Code
section 9.12.080(c) relating to lawful consumption of alcohol on Town-owned properties.
Thank you, Elizabeth and Danita

Cultural, Arts and Special Events Committee
Rules of Order
These Rules of Order establish rules and procedures for Cultural, Arts and Special Events
CASE") Committee meetings. The intent is to set forth rules which are readily accessible and
usable by the CASE Committee members and understandable by the general public.
I. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR CASE COMMITTEE MEETINGS: The CASE
Committee finds that the foundation of municipal democracy rests on open, respectful and
informed discussion and debate balanced with the necessary efficiency required to take action in
the public interest. Reasonable persons will often disagree on many public matters which arise
before appointed officials. The process of discussion and debate is essential to the ability of
appointed officials to render the best decisions possible for the Avon community. The following
standards of conduct are considered the minimum standards for members of the CASE Committee.
A. CASE Committee members shall conduct themselves in a mature manner that is becoming of
public officials, shall respect one another and shall respect members of the public.
B. CASE Committee members shall refrain from profanity, rude behavior or personal attacks and
shall promptly apologize to both the board and the recipient of any such behavior in the event
of a temporary lapse of appropriate behavior.
C. The CASE Committee Chair shall be responsible for maintaining civility, decorum and order
throughout the meeting.
D. Members of the CASE Committee shall not communicate between or amongst themselves by
text message, e-mails or other forms of electronic communication during a CASE Committee
meeting.
E. Members of the CASE Committee shall promptly disclose and announce the sending or receipt
by a CASE Committee member of a text message, e-mail or other form of electronic
communication during a CASE Committee meeting, to or from any person, for any such
communication that concerns a matter on the CASE Committee agenda for that meeting.
II. CHAIR: Every meeting of the CASE Committee shall be presided over by the Chair. If
the Chair is absent the Vice Chair shall preside over the meeting. If the Chair has a conflict of
interest on a matter, then the Vice Chair shall preside over the meeting for such matter. If the Chair
and Vice Chair are absent, or if they both have a conflict of interest on a matter, then a quorum of
CASE Committee members shall appoint an Acting Chair, by motion and vote, who shall then
preside over the meeting or shall preside over such matter for which the Chair and Vice Chair have
a conflict of interest. The Chair shall strive to moderate CASE Committee meetings with
impartiality, shall strive to allow input from all other CASE Committee members on matters before
expressing his or her opinion, and shall refrain from making a motion or seconding a motion until
it is apparent that no other member of the CASE Committee member will do so.
III. AGENDAS: The following rules and procedures shall apply to agendas:
A. The Chair shall determine the agenda in consultation with the CASE Manager. The CASE
Committee may direct items to be included on an agenda. Individual CASE Committee
members may contact the Chair to request inclusion of a matter on an agenda. The Chair
shall consult with the CASE Manager and exercise discretion to determine if the matter
should be included on the agenda as a discussion item or an action item.
Page 1 of 4
B. After roll call, the CASE Committee shall approve the agenda, by motion, by a majority of
the quorum present with any additions or deletions the CASE Committee deems appropriate.
C. The CASE Committee may take action by motion at any time during a meeting to schedule
discussion or action items on a future agenda which shall be scheduled by the CASE Manager.
IV. MOTIONS: All official CASE Committee actions are initiated by motion. These
following rules and procedures apply to motions. There are two basic motions: action motions and
procedural motions. Only one action motion may be on the floor at a time. A procedural motion
may be proposed, discussed and acted upon when an action motion is on the floor or at any other
time.
A. Basic Motion: The basic motion to take action is stated as, "I move to ...." Every motion
requires a second. Once a motion is made no further discussion can continue until a second
is made to support the motion.
B. Discussion: All CASE Committee members have the right to discuss the motion on the floor.
Discussion cannot be concluded unless (1) all CASE Committee members present consent
or (2) a majority of CASE Committee members present approve a procedural motion to "Call
the Question" and end debate.
C. Withdraw a Motion: The maker of a motion may choose to withdraw the motion at any
time prior to the vote on the motion and may interrupt a speaker to withdraw the motion and
consent of the CASE Committee member who seconded the motion is not required. The
motion is immediately withdrawn; however, the Chair may then ask the CASE Committee
member who seconded the withdrawn motion and any other CASE Committee member if
such CASE Committee member wishes to make the motion.
D. Amendment to Motion: Any CASE Committee member may request an amendment to a
pending motion. The maker of the pending motion and CASE Committee member who
seconded the motion must consent to the proposed amendment. Any CASE Committee
member may also propose a substitute motion to a pending motion which also requires
consent of the maker of the pending motion and the CASE Committee member who seconded
the pending motion.
E. Procedural Motion: A procedural motion may be made at any time and may impose or
modify any procedural rule provided that such procedure is not in conflict with the Avon
Home Rule Charter, any ordinance adopted by the Town, or any applicable state law.
Procedural motions require a majority vote of the quorum present.
F. Motion to Call the Question or End the Discussion: A motion to "call the question" (also
known as a motion to end the discussion) is a procedural motion to end debate and discussion.
A motion to call the question cannot be made until each CASE Committee member has had
at least one reasonable opportunity to ask questions and express his or her opinion on the
matter. Once a motion to call the question is made and seconded, it shall be the Chair's
discretion to allow any further discussion on such procedural motion for the purpose of
clarifying any technical, procedural or legal issue related to the procedural motion. A motion
to call the question requires a majority vote of the quorum present. Once a motion to call the
question is approved, the pending action motion on the floor must be voted upon promptly
or, if no action motion is pending, the Chair shall proceed to the next agenda item.
G. Motion to Continue: A motion to continue an agenda item must include a specific future
CASE Committee meeting date, time and place for the continued matter to be considered
again without re -noticing a required public hearing.
Page 2 of 4
H. Motion to Table: A motion to table places the agenda item on hold and does not require a
specific time for the return of the agenda item.
I. Motion to Suspend Rules: A motion to suspend rules may allow suspension of any rule in
these Rules of Order. Such motion may be made and requires a supermajority vote of a
majority of the quorum present plus one for approval. A motion to suspend rules may not
supersede the procedural requirements of the Avon Home Rule Charter, any ordinance
adopted by the Town, or any applicable state law.
J. A Motion to Reconsider: A Motion to Reconsider allows the CASE Committee to
reconsider a vote on a matter. A Motion to Reconsider may only be made and considered by
a member of the CASE Committee who voted in the majority on the motion which is
proposed for reconsideration.
V. MEETING CONDUCT
A. Point of Privilege: A CASE Committee member may interrupt the speaker to raise a matter
related to the comfort of the meeting, such as room temperature, distractions, or ability to
hear speaker.
B. Point of Order: A CASE Committee member may raise a Point of Order at any time that
the Chair permits meeting conduct which does not follow these Rules of Order or otherwise
fails to maintain civility and decorum by the CASE Committee and the general public.
C. Appeal: A CASE Committee member may move to appeal the ruling of the Chair on any
procedural matter or other decision related to the conduct of the meeting. If the motion is
seconded and, after debate, if such motion passes by a simple majority vote of the quorum
present, then the ruling or conduct of the Chair shall be overruled and reversed.
D. Call for Orders of the Day: A CASE Committee member may call for Orders of the Day
when such CASE Committee member believes that CASE Committee discussion has strayed
from the agenda. No second or vote is required. If the Chair does not return to the agenda,
then such ruling may be appealed.
E. Adjournment: The Chair may announce the meeting adjourned when there are no further
items on the agenda which have not been addressed. The CASE Committee may adjourn a
meeting at any time by motion, second and approval by a majority of the quorum present.
VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS: CASE Committee agendas shall include a general item labeled
Public Comment" near the beginning of all CASE Committee meetings. Members of the public
who wish to provide comments to the CASE Committee greater than three minutes are encouraged
to schedule time in advance on the agenda and to provide written comments and other appropriate
materials to the CASE Committee in advance of the CASE Committee meeting. The Chair shall
permit public comments during any agenda item and may limit public comment to three minutes
per individual, which limitation may be waived or increased by a majority of the quorum present.
VII. REMOTE TELEPHONEIVIDEO MEETING ATTENDANCE: A member of the
CASE Committee may participate in a CASE Committee meeting by Remote Attendance only in
accordance with this section. Remote Attendance shall be made available and shall be limited as
follows:
A. A CASE Committee member may participate by Remote Attendance only when such
member's absence would otherwise constitute an excused absence. An excused absence
shall include but not be limited to the inability to physically attend due to unavoidable travel
Page 3 of 4
schedule conflicts which are communicated to the CASE Manager in advance of a meeting
and unanticipated emergencies or accidents which render physical attendance not possible.
B. CASE Committee must approve by a majority vote of the CASE Committee members
physically present to allow a CASE Committee member to participate by Remote
Attendance.
C. The communication equipment and connections must be sufficient to allow clear,
uninterrupted two-way communication between the Remote Attendee and all participants
physically present at a CASE Committee meeting.
D. Multiple CASE Committee members may participate by Remote Attendance if the
communication equipment is sufficient to allow clear, uninterrupted two-way
communication.
E. The CASE Committee may discontinue Remote Attendance at a meeting when a majority
of the CASE Committee members physically present find that communication equipment
or connection is inadequate and results in noise, poor sound quality, delay or lost
connections.
F. Remote Attendance shall constitute physical attendance for purposes of establishing a
quorum. Meeting minutes shall acknowledge any Remote Attendance. Motions, votes and
other actions of a remote attendee shall be the same as if CASE Committee member
physically attended the meeting.
G. Non -CASE Committee members may participate by Remote Attendance when the
majority of the CASE Committee members determine that Remote Attendance is
necessary for the consideration of business presented to the Town, such Remote
Attendance would not violate the policies set forth above, the public interest would be
harmed, threatened or diminished by continuation of the business item, and good cause
exists for the inability of the non -CASE Committee member Remote Attendee to
physically attend.
H. The Town shall provide reasonable accommodation and shall waive or modify this policy
to provide handicapped CASE Committee members full and equal access to CASE
Committee meetings.

My involvement in the Avon community started well over 7 years ago. Avon has been my home for over 20 years where
I've seen good changes like the addition of several art pieces and the open door amphitheater to our community.
The importance of Art, Music, Dance and other events is the core of human history
and of personal intest for me and my two young children and wife. I would appreciate being involved in the
developing of cultural events to benefit the future of my family and all the Avon community.

I've been involved in many events in this valley, from music event to the
installation and maintenance of bronze sculptures for the Hoffmann family.
I'm well aware of the cost, handling, adquisition, logistics, maintenance and
even removal of Sculptures. I have also help organized the very first Avon Open Market.
I'm well committed to serve this community, I've own a residence in Avon since
2010. I'm an avid cyclist and skiier, I enjoy the outdoors with my family, the Avon community
has all the elements to be called the most incredible "opened door amusement
park". Adding cultural value just enlivens the appeal. I want to be part of this group!

To: Town of Avon’s Cultural, Arts and Special Committee
From, Michael Kavanaugh, Commander, US Navy Retired
Subject: DOUGLAS JIMENEZ
1. It is with pleasure and sincere desire to speak on behalf of Mr.
Doug Jimenez for the Town of Avon that I address you. This is a
reference written to you about Mr. Jimenez from an extended knowledge
of his character, community views and his family affections.
2. Mr. Jimenez has been a friend, confidant and business associate for
6 years now. I served in the US Navy as an Officer for 20 years
specializing in Naval Aviation Safety and Aircrew Performance (I have
over 1000 hours flight time in military combat aircraft). My last
Naval tour was with Naval Air Systems Command serving in the compacity
as a Purchasing Commander for Aeromedical Equipment (Operational
Responsibility for 300 million dollars of Facilities and Devices).
3. Humbly said this letter is surely not about me, but Mr. Jimenez. A
background of my Naval experience is merely mentioned to garner a
standing with your valuable committee.
4. Doug is a family man who with love has a ferocious desire to see
his children and lovely wife flourish in our lovely mountain community.
His affections and standing as his family’s Patriarch are truly
admirable. I watch him up close and from afar. I am in admiration of
him, and always learn from my friend. I am honored to know him as a
Dad myself.
5. Truly, Doug is a man I avail for his opinion and salient wisdom in
regards to personal matters and advice. I suppose we all do this, but
who we choose for this advice is done carefully from a chosen few.
6. If you choose Mr. Jimenez for your Committee then surely your
organization would be strengthened and even more fiscally responsible
with Mr. Jimenez as a valued asset. I do know of his fiscal acumen
from a business I run in the Vail Valley. He is fiscally sharp and
responsible.

Subject: Letter of Recommendation
To whom it may concern,
I am writing in reference to Douglas Jimenez. We have been friends for the past
2
fourteen years, and I have always known him to be an ambitious and highly motivated
person. I believe that his self‐starting tendencies and strong vision make him an ideal
candidate for the Town of Avon Committee.
When I met Doug, I had just moved to the Valley with my wife. We initially connected at
a store where I worked back in the day, and I could immediately see that he was a
driven individual with substantial potential but most important, he had a really caring
personality.
Over the years, we became friends and travelled together to Europe in a few occasions
for fun and for business. Recently, Doug has become an investor at my company, the
Vail Investment Management Group where not only he trusts me with his friendship,
but also with his financial resources.
Life went on, and we had kids and our families became really close. We have learned to
treat each other as brothers and my children have been learning from Doug, his wife
and kids, how to treat and be treated with respect and integrity.
I could probably disclose to you the long list of professional achievements that Doug has
completed over the years. But what I would like to highlight in this short letter is that
Doug is a person of integrity, high morals and values with a deep interest in helping
others. His professional achievements are just a reflection of who he is as a human
being.
Please, if you have any questions or concerns I can be directly contacted at:
jay@vailinvestment.com
970 331 3037
I will be happy to answer any question and provide more insight about Doug’s
professional and ethic qualifications.
Best regards,
Jay Giordano CEO
Vail Investment Management Group
February 15, 2022
To Whom It May Concern,
Doug Jimenez is the most dependable and dedicated person of whom I have had the pleasure of
working with in my role as Senior Account Executive for Waste Management. Every interaction that I have
experienced with Doug in our business relationship leaves me more impressed each time. Whether it be a
quick meeting or a phone call, Doug’s responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to succeed in all
endeavors are just a few of the character traits that are always present. It is impossible to go without noticing
that Doug’s work ethic is not just a skill but inherent in his nature.
The most admirable characteristic about Doug is his ability to go above and beyond for his customers ,
as well as his business counterparts. For example, there have been countless times that Doug has assisted my
drivers so that they could efficiently perform their duties and deliver upon service. While this is not expected
of Doug, it is greatly appreciated by all. Doug’s tireless work ethic proves that he is driven to complete any
assignment, from the mundane to the monumental. Doug is genuinely eager to learn every aspect of a
business. He seeks out opportunities and takes it upon himself to gain a better understanding of a company,
its employees, the operations involved in delivering upon services, and its responsibilities and commitments as
an organization.
Doug’s adaptability allows him to be to handle tough or unexpected situations that most others would
need directive to navigate through to accurately complete. Along with his initiative, Doug’s business acumen
and professionalism allow him to have accurate conversations and make integral decisions with little need for
consult that are in the best interests of the company and the customer.
Doug’s ability to connect with others is not limited to his interactions with his employees or vendors.
One of Doug’s many talents is his knack for customer service. Doug intuitively knows how to professionally
communicate with diverse clientele. I am continually impressed with how he can quickly build trust and gain
respect with customers and vendors, while keeping business demands a top priority.
Doug is honest and straightforward in his approach to work, business, and personal life. He is a team
player and demonstrates a high degree of loyalty and trustworthiness in all his obligations. Doug carries out
his responsibilities and duties with a drive to succeed, with the energy and passion to continuously go above
and beyond in all endeavors. Doug possesses a very high ethical standard. He is bright, enthusiastic, and eager
to take on new challenges.
I believe Doug Jimenez is an exceptional candidate, and I am certain that he will excel at any career
that he chooses to pursue. I welcome you to reach out to me directly to further discuss Doug’s capabilities and
how he would align within your organization and its team.
Thank You,

Over the time we have known each other professional, our children have become good friends

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council
FROM: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Director
RE: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution 22-01
Preliminary Subdivision / Lot 3 and Lot 6, McGrady Acres
DATE: March 2, 2022
SUMMARY: In front of the Town Council is a Preliminary Subdivision application with public hearing. The
application proposes to dissolve an internal lot line between the two existing properties (Lot 3 and Lot 6
McGrady Acres), creation of twenty-four (24) individual townhome lots, and the creation of common tracts for
access drives and common greenspace. A cover letter from the property owner (“Attachment A”) requesting
consideration of cash in lieu of dedication park land, and conceptual Preliminary Subdivision layout
(“Attachment B”) are attached to this report. The process for a Major Subdivision includes a Preliminary
and Final application. This public hearing was continued from the February 8, 2022 regular meeting.
UPDATES: At the February 8, 2022 meeting Councilor’s requested additional information on previous PZC
actions, a Staff analysis of the Park Land Dedication, and more in depth review of the applicable review
criteria. The Preliminary subdivision plat has been updated to include physical land dedications, easements
for pedestrian connectivity to Eaglebend Drive, and a modified approach to cash in lieu for the remainder of
Park Land Dedication requirements. This Staff report includes a more in -depth review of previous land use
actions, and clarifications as they relate to Major Development Plan review versus Subdivision review.
COUNCIL OPTIONS:
- Approve Resolution 22-01 (“Attachment C”), as submitted; or
- Approve Resolution 22-01, with amendments recommended by Staff and/or other changes; or
- Request more information and Continue Resolution 22-01 to a future meeting; or
- Deny the Preliminary Subdivision by Motion and Vote.
RECOMMENDATION: My recommendation is to conduct a public hearing, discuss conformity with the
applicable review criteria, and take action to conditionally approve the Preliminary Subdivision. Optional
actions are provided at the end of this report.
APPLICATION BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Commission held public hearings on December
7, 2021 and December 21, 2021 for the development. The Planning and Zoning Commission conditionally
approved the Major Development Plan, after considering public comments and Staff's analysis on
December 21, 2021. PZC made a recommendation for approval (“Attachment D”) of the Preliminary
Subdivision Application at the December 21, 2021 meeting.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Lot 6 is located adjacent to the Eagle River and contains a single-family home.
The home would be demolished to accommodate this development. Lot 6 is bordered by a single-family home
and Eaglebend subdivision to the west, Post Boulevard to the east, and Lot 3 of McGrady Acres subdivision to
the north. Lot 3, McGrady Acres sits vacant and previously housed a tree farm business for a number of years.
Lot 3 borders a pocket park and Eaglebend residential to the west, Post Boulevard to the east, and the Union
Pacific Railroad to the north.
The property was annexed in 2001 and designated with Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoning. This was also
when Post Boulevard (aka “Highway 6 Connector” during annexation) road was constructed and any remnants
of Utility and Easement parcels connecting Eaglebend Drive and Post Boulevard were extinguished. NC zoning
Page 2 of 11
allows for retail, mixed-use, and multi-family townhouse residential. Multi-family is defined by the Avon
Development Code as including structures with three (3) or more units.
PROCESS: Section 7.16.070 of the Avon Municipal Code, Subdivisions, governs the review of this land use
application. As mentioned, the Application is considered a Major Subdivision. Major Subdivisions include
any new subdivision where four (4) or more parcels are being created. A public hearing with PZC and another
public hearing with Town Council is required before action.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Notice of the public hearings for Major Development Plan and Preliminary
Subdivisions was published in the Vail Daily in accordance with Sec. 7.16.020(d) of the Avon Development
Code (ADC). Mailed notification is required for this subdivision for all property owners listed within 300’ of
the Property. Written public comments from the PZC and Town Council meetings is attached (“Attachment
E”) to this report for Council review and consideration.
REVIEW CRITERIA: § 7.16.070(e), Preliminary Plan Review Criteria:
(1) The proposed subdivision shall comply with all applicable use, density, development and design
standards set forth in this Development Code that have not otherwise been modified or waived
pursuant to this Chapter and that would affect or influence the layout of lots, blocks and streets.
Page 3 of 11
Applicants shall not create lots or patterns of lots in the subdivision that will make compliance
with such development and design standards difficult or infeasible;
Staff Response: The proposed subdivision complies with use, density and applicable design standards.
The Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoning and Table of Allowed Uses permit residential and commercial
land uses; however, no commercial uses are proposed. Pursuant to the Mobility and Connectivity code
requirements, a bus pull-out must be constructed as part of this project. The subdivision plat indicates that
a small portion of the public property will be necessary to accommodate the realigned sidewalk on Post
Boulevard where the stop will be provided.
Bus Stop on Post Blvd
The plans were updated since the first Council meeting to include a platted pedestrian access easement
following 4’ sidewalks through the project and connecting to Post Boulevard’s 8’ sidewalk. This sidewalk
system was always indicated on the drawings, however, platting legal access through the project is now
shown on the Preliminary Plat drawings as proposed by the Applicant is highlighted in yellow below.
Page 4 of 11
While this pedestrian plan is sufficient, it may create potential conflicts between property owners
and public in this location due to proximity (the path is immediate to decks and backyard activities)
and snow storage issues, as there are no designated areas for clearing this pathway. As such, Staff
proposes the following alternative layout:
(2) The subdivision application shall comply with the purposes of this Development Code;
Staff Response: The application generally complies with the applicable purposes outlined in the
Development Code. Purpose (l) states, “Promote architectural design which is compatible, functional,
practical and complimentary checking to Avon's sub-alpine environment”. Additionally, the development
plans call for a combination of water quality vaults and native landscaping between structures and the river
corridor. This promotes Purpose (j): Sustain water sources by maintaining the natural watershed, preventing
accelerated erosion, reducing runoff and consequent sedimentation, eliminating pollutants introduced
directly into streams and enhancing public access to recreational water sources.” Staff also suggests
creating an open space or Stream Protection easement to ensure the Eagle River and streambank is
protected, with potential fisher access to this area of the river designed and maintained by the Town of Avon.
(3) The subdivision application shall be consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan and other
community planning documents;
Staff Response: The Avon Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map designates the property with
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) land use. While the proposed development and subdivision are in line with
this designation, in solely implementing residential uses sales -tax generating opportunities are removed.
Fortunately, other benefits exist with this development. In particular, new pedestrian connections from
Eaglebend to a new bus stop, as well as park monies to improve the existing Town -owned playground that
Page 5 of 11
lies between Eaglebend and this development. Importantly, one other asset exists with this development: its
location to the Eagle River.
The Avon Comprehensive Plan lists improvements on the river corridor as a highlighted opportunity
throughout Town. With the application of the riverside stream easement that is dedicated to the Town of Avon
(as suggested by Staff), potential streamside enhancements and/or public recreational opportunities may be
the result. Specifically, the easement will support the following Avon Comprehensive Plan stated goals:
• Improve connections between Avon’s Town Center District and the Eagle River;
• Promote recreational and mobility options to and from Avon with the regional trail through Avon along
the Eagle River
The proposal has been updated and now includes the dedication of two (2) tracts of land as part of meeting
the Park Land Dedication requirements (as discussed in more detail below) as well. The upper, more narrow
area of land is located adjacent to and contiguous with the Eaglebend pocket park, thereby offering possible
extensions of the park by creating a natural place for play. The lower landscape buffer connects the
Eaglebend cul-de-sac with the Eagle River. The narrow width of the land connecting to the river, coupled with
steep existing topography, would make a connection to the river extremely difficult if not impossible for
general access. However, in obtaining an easement that runs from Post Blvd and along the property adjacent
to the stream within the river corridor, would create a benefit for this development.
The Avon Comprehensive Plan includes Policy G.1.2, to:
Policy G.1.2: Maintain the Eagle River as a valued resource in accordance with the most recent
Eagle River Watershed Plan.
While the land adjacent to the river is inherently protected from development (i.e. river setbacks, no
improvements proposed in the steep slope between buildings and river) incorporating an easement with the
approved Development Plan, provides river frontage to the Town. This easement could be considered as
part of the Park Land Dedication. This is an important consideration as the most recent Eagle River
Watershed Plan strives for a balance between land use, water recreation, and micro and macro invertebrate
health strategies. Having a streamside easement offers the ability to incorporate or install native vegetation
along the banks of the Eagle River to strengthen the river health along to this small stretch of river.
Implementing limited foot access with added riparian plantings would be a positive improvement executed
by the Town.
(4) The land shall be physically suitable for the proposed development or subdivision;
Staff Response: The land is physically suitable for the proposed development. No hazardous soils or other
environmental concerns have been raised. The developable portion of the lot is maximized with the
proposed site layout.
(5) The proposed subdivision shall be compatible with surrounding land uses;
Staff Response: The proposed subdivision is compatible with surrounding residential land uses and was
zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) in 2001 based upon compliance with the Avon Comprehensive Plan.
Page 6 of 11
(6) There are adequate public facilities for potable water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste
disposal, electrical supply, fire protection and roads and will be conveniently located in relation
to schools, police, fire protection and emergency medical services;
Staff Response: Water was not dedicated when the property was annexed into the Town. This property
is included in the existing water lease agreement with the Upper Eagle River Water Authority and a formal
ability to serve letter would be a requirement of Final Plat. Our Town records for water accounting show
that we have 12.6 SFE of water allocated to the Property.
Water and sewer lines run directly through the property and the owner will need to enter into agreement(s)
with the water district for tie-ins. Holy Cross Electric serves the property and has reviewed the plans. The
property is within Eagle River Fire Protection District (ERFPD) and the plans have been reviewed by the
Fire Marshall and meets their requirements for service and accessibility. Referral comments from ERFPD
are attached (“Attachment F”). The acceptability of fire truck and passenger vehicle turnaround is
demonstrated with the attached (“Attachment G”) auto turn analysis.
(7) The proposed utility and road extensions are consistent with the utility's service plan and are
consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan and Comprehensive Transportation Master Plan;
Staff Response: The utility plans are far along in the design process. The project engineer has been
coordinating closely with the Town Engineer and Eagle River Water and Sanitation (ERWSD) District. Final
signoff from ERWSD will be required at the time of Final Subdivision. This is provided in staff’s
recommended conditions for approval.
(8) The utility lines are sized to serve the ultimate population of the service area to avoid future land
disruption to upgrade under-sized lines;
Staff Response: There are no concerns with sizing for project utilities.
(9) The subdivision is compatible with the character of existing land uses in the area and shall not
adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area;
Staff Response: The character of the area is mixed: single-family residential, duplex residential, multi-
family residential, regional highway, regional commercial, and an educationally zoned parcel across the
railroad tracks. This subdivision was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and found to be
compatible with the character of the area.
(10) A proposed subdivision for an existing PUD shall be consistent with the relevant PUD Master
Plan as reflected in the approval of that PUD;
Staff Response: Not applicable.
(11) Appropriate utilities, including water, sewer, electric, gas and telephone utilities, shall provide
a "conditional capacity to serve" letter for the proposed subdivision;
Staff Response: All applicable utility companies have reviewed initial development plans and will provide
capacity to serve letters before final subdivision.
Page 7 of 11
(12) That the general layout of lots, roads, driveways, utilities, drainage facilities and other services
within the proposed subdivision shall be designed in a way that minimizes the amount of land
disturbance, minimize inefficiencies in the development of services, maximizes the amount of
open space in the development, preserves existing trees/vegetation and riparian areas, protects
critical wildlife habitat and otherwise accomplishes the purposes of this Development Code;
Staff Response: The layout of infrastructure and facilities is logical and minimizes land disturbance to the
extent possible. Open space buffers are included on the west and south sides of the project based upon
topography and easement areas. Riparian areas adjacent to the Eagle River remain intact with the approved
development plan coupled with the execution of the recommended stream/open space easement. Water
quality concerns are alleviated by introducing hydrodaynamic separator vaults to maintain clean water
entering the adjacent Eagle River environment. The Preliminary Drainage Study validates water quality
maintenance based on expected stormflows and the area development. Maintenance of the water quality
infrastructure must be specifically called out in a Subdivision Improvements Agreement. Please find the
Preliminary Drainage Report Attached (“Attachment H”) for review.
(13) Evidence that provision has been made for a public sewage disposal system or, if other
methods of sewage disposal are proposed, adequate evidence that such system shall comply
with state and local laws and regulations;
Staff Response: The utility plans tie new infrastructure into the adjacent/existing sewer system. The water
district continues to work with the applicant on final location and design approval.
(14) Evidence that all areas of the proposed subdivision that may involve soil or topographical
conditions presenting hazards or requiring special precautions have been identified by the
applicant and that the proposed use of these areas are compatible with such conditions or that
adequate mitigation is proposed;
Staff Response: All development is limited to the flatter portion of the property, well above the riparian
corridor and steeper slopes leading to the Eagle River. A soils report will be required at building permit
review to determine if any special soil conditions exist on the property warranting heightened precautions.
(15) The subdivision application addresses the responsibility for maintaining all roads, open spaces
and other public and common facilities in the subdivision and that the Town can afford any
proposed responsibilities to be assumed by the Town;
Staff Response: A Public Improvements Agreement is required at Final Subdivision. The PIA will address
responsibilities during construction and after final acceptance. I am recommending that this be part of a
conditional approval to be provided at Final Subdivision application.
(16) If applicable, the declarations and owners' association are established in accordance with the
law and are structured to provide adequate assurance that any site design standards required
by this Development Code or conditions of approval for the proposed subdivision will be
maintained or performed in a manner which is enforceable by the Town; and
Staff Response: This determination will be made at Final Subdivision. Commonly owned and maintained
areas are indicated on the plat. Details of easements, dedications, and an acceptable Public Improvement
Page 8 of 11
Agreement must be approved.
(17) As applicable, the proposed phasing for development of the subdivision is rational in terms of
available infrastructure capacity and financing.
Staff Response: No phasing is contemplated. All roads and utilities must be completed at the project outset,
regardless of timing for individual buildings. This will be reflected in Public Improvements Agreement at Final
Subdivision.
PARK LAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS - §7.32.090
The Park Land Dedication Requirements were put into the Avon Municipal Code in 2010 at the time the
Development Code was created. The requirements have been used infrequently as no preliminary (or final)
subdivisions have been processed for a multi-family project that did not already possess vested property
rights. For example, the Riverfront and Basecamp developments provided park land at the time of PUD
zoning. The most recent sizeable development, Frontgate, has not submitted for subdivision ; however, the
upper 15+ acres of that development has been earmarked and contemplated for open space purposes and
trail(s), as demonstrated with a recent design modification application received in February.
The purpose of the Park Land Dedication section is to
“regulate the development, preservation and maintenance of parks, open space and trails
throughout Avon. Parks, open space and trail regulations are intended to preserve natural
areas and resources, preserve scenic views, provide access to open areas and recreational
opportunities, create public health benefits and generally enhance the quality of life for Avon
residents. Particular emphasis should be placed on providing a diversity of parks, trails and
open space opportunities that serve residents of all ages and abilities and that are accessible
from a variety of locations within the community”.
Unfortunately, the dedication of river frontage contiguous with other Town river tracts is not supported in whole
by the guidelines for Park Land Dedication outlined in Avon Municipal Code Section 7.32.090(e). It suggests
that at least 50% of the land be level with suitably convenient access.
The codified guidelines for determining the amount of land to be dedicated is: 8.2 acres x (Number of Units:
24) x (Persons Per Unit: 2.9) / 1,000 = .57 acres. Alternative to land dedication, the Town Council may
determine that the dedication of land for park purposes is not necessary or not practical and instead require
cash in lieu of land dedication to be used for capital expenditures related to existing parks in the area or
purchase of additional property for park purposes.
The applicant requests (“Attachment I”) consideration by Town Council of two dedicated parcels and the
remaining dedication to be provided as cash in lieu.
Park Improvements
Staff has identified the Eaglebend Pocket Park as a candidate for several improvements, including a raw water
irrigation system, fencing the property line bordering the railroad tracks, updated signage, re-investment into
both softscape and hardscape landscaping, and additional seating areas. The park would be connected to
the development property by footpath as proposed by Staff.
Page 9 of 11
Eagle County Assessor’s department staff assisted with a comprehensive property records search whereby
all vacant land sales between between Edwards and Eagle-Vail were queried for the past 3 years. Similar
to the analysis provided in Public Comments (“Attachment E”), the outliers in mountain communities (i.e.
Cordillera, Mountain Star, Bachelor’s Gulch) were removed. Removing all of the outliers from the report
dropped the total results form 199 total land sales down to eighteen (18), with an average sale price of $24,60
per foot. That sales history is provided below for review. Staff supports this price per foot for any payment -
in-lieu of Park Land Dedication as part of this application. It i ncludes the purchase price of the Applicant’s
property, and is also included as part of the Applicant’s written request.
Summary:
It is reasonable to believe that purchasing additional usable park land in the area with the proposed funds
would be difficult if not impossible. Cash In Lieu would improve nearby public properties such as the Eaglebend
pocket-park, which is in need of improvement. During PZC review of the development plan and subdivision,
Staff recommended consideration of expanding the footprint of the Eaglebend pocket-park and/or dedicating
the river frontage. Parts of these recommendations are now included in the attached, updated Preliminary Plat
for Subdivision. In creating dedicated parcels and easements for these areas and improvements, it will reserve
these spaces in perpetuity thus benefitting new and existing residents in this area. See the attached
(“Attachment K”) version of Staff’s recommended plat drawing.

Dear Commissioners:
The McGrady Acres Development Plan and site plan that you will consider tonight contain issues that deserve
further study to determine the development’s potential impact on the residents of Eaglebend Drive. I
respectfully request a continuation of this matter, preferably to January, to give area residents time to provide
meaningful input to the developer and the commission.
I am supportive of the concept of townhomes on the site provided the development and site design are created
to minimize future impacts to the Eaglebend community. Some of the issues that might bear study are:
1) Landscaping plans for the west side of the site. Are the western most buildings set back sufficiently
from the property line to allow for onsite landscaping that will buffer the view of the buildings from
Eaglebend Drive? These buildings will replace our views of Vail and Game Creek Bowl so trees would be
nice. The site also appears to be primarily buildings, concrete driveways, and roadway. Will there be
internal landscaping to make the development attractive?
2) Fence at east end of Eaglebend Drive. What is the plan for the fence that currently separates the
Eaglebend Drive cul-de-sac from the subject site. Who will own the fence?
3) Emergency access. There appears to be more than one proposal for emergency access or egress. One
plan has the potential to impact all of Eaglebend Drive.
4) Park: Will there be access to from this new development to the small open space and play equipment
on Eaglebend Drive? If so what does that plan look like?
5) Roadways and driveways. The overall site looks very tight. The driveways appear short. Will there be
on street parking? Is there sufficient room for moving vans, delivery trucks, trash trucks, for turn
around? It would not be desirable for insufficient site planning to make roadway connection to
Eaglebend Drive imperative in the future. There appears to be a road on the site plan that terminates
abruptly at the property line?????
A few residents of the east end of Eaglebend Drive apparently received notice of the meeting and development
plan. Most residents of Eaglebend Drive remain unaware of the development proposal. We live one house west
of the homes noticed and only became aware of the plan when I happened to read the P & Z agenda this
weekend. We are In Hawaii this week so will not be able to attend the meeting. Some time to evaluate this
development proposal so we can work cooperatively with the Town and the landowner to get this right and
make development of this site an asset for all would be appreciated
Respectfully,

Hi Matt, Sorry for not being prepared for the P&Z meeting, lots going on.
Now that I've had a chance to review the plan I have some major concerns.
Like I said I'm ok with the townhomes, that's not the issue. Most problems stem from too much development on too
small a space. I'll bullet point the major issues, no particular order of importance.
1. Do the storm drains have filters to keep contaminants out of the river? If they have filters who maintains them.
2. About the wall behind Building1, I see lots of problems with egress and drainage. How will the residents get out of
their homes in an emergency? Does the railroad have an opinion on digging into the slope like that and possibly
weakening the integrity of the bank? When, or if, the trains run again the vibrations they create could cause problems,
especially in wet weather. Is that wall engineered? There is no provision back there for drainage coming off the tracks
and buildings.
3. There is no open space to speak of. I'm personally concerned about where will the residents walk their dogs? If they
all go behind Building 6 those folks won't be happy. If they find their way up to the park. we won't be happy, (I'm sure
they won't all pick up their poop) that's a lot of units very close to the park. The consensus around here is solid fence
would be best.
4. The driveways seem too short, your average pick‐up is 18‐20 feet long and I envision them sticking out into the street,
even if they bump right up to their garage doors, which they won't. I see parking as an issue all over the development
5. About the massing and rooflines, I feel the mansard roofs are a clumsy way to disguise a box, sorry to be so abrupt
but that's basically what's going on. Boxes are a good way to enclose space but not to create pleasing shapes.
6. Landscaping is pretty sparse. Seems to me there was an impervious surface limit on residential applications, is one
applicable here? That's a lot of driveways (short ones), roads and roofs.
Thanks for listening to my concerns. I would appreciate your passing this along to the Planning Commission, Town
Council and the developers.

From:
Bette Todd, Reisdent Eaglebend Drive
Dear Commissioners and McGrady Acres Development Team,
I had planned to come to the meeting tonight and speak, but with the change in the meeting to zoom I
am submitting a written statement to make communication between parties a bit easier on all. The
efforts on the part of the McGrady Acres development team to cooperate with the Town in bringing
forward a quality development are appreciated by residents. The issue of the current wood style fence
at the end of Eaglebend Drive remains an issue of great concern, not only to me, but to many of my
neighbors.
The updated plan under consideration tonight shows a 3’ split rail fence proposed to replace the wood
fence that currently separates the communities. The current style wood fence serves several purposes
that a split rail fence will not achieve.
1) The wood fence limits the visual impact of the new development on Eaglebend Drive. While our
views to the mountains may be lost to buildings, at least the wood fence partially blocks the
lower areas and mass of the buildings from view.
2) The wood fence also blocks the view of concrete driveways, parked vehicles, a parking area, snow
storage, lights from vehicles and noise.
3) The higher wood fence is not easily hopped over by children or loose dogs and serves as a
deterrent to children to exit their respective neighborhoods.
4) The wood fence makes the connection from Eaglebend Drive to Post Boulevard through McGrady
Acres less evident to strangers coming off Post Boulevard.
Access to the pocket park can be achieved with a gate or opening in any type of fence. A split rail fence
is not necessary to provide connectivity between the neighborhoods. I suspect we will all become well
acquainted on our daily walks and outings.
Eaglebend Drive is a beautiful tree lined street with a mix of single family homes and duplexes. It is a
dead-end street without curbs or sidewalks, has a drainage ditch on one side and utility easements on
the other. It is not heavily trafficked. We enjoy beautiful views to the east of mountains and Vail ski
slopes from our yards, decks and street which will almost entirely go away with the development of Mc
Grady Acres. To the degree possible, other impacts of the new development on residents of Eaglebend
Drive should be mitigated. The fence and screening are important to us, as is a pedestrian connection
that discourages and limits fast bicycle or ebike traffic through both communities.
Attachment E
The developer has suggested the possibility of a metal fence along the west fence line built of similar
materials being used on the railings throughout the project. Personally, I believe that would be
preferable to the split rail fence if it can be adequately landscaped to provide visual screening of the
project from Eaglebend Drive. Visual screening with trees would also protect homes in McGrady Acres
from headlights driving east on Eaglebend Drive. A higher fence makes the connection less obvious to
strangers. While the current style wood fence would be preferrable as it provides the most protection
to Eaglebend Drive, a metal fence with heavy tree plantings would upgrade the appearance of both
neighborhoods and enhance the mountain feel. The current plans, show a great deal of snow storage
on the west end of the property with a few low bushes and trees. The trees along the west fence line
need to be increased regardless of which fence is approved.
Please consider the impacts of the new development on the current residents of Eaglebend Drive and do
not approve a split-rail fence that does little to mitigate development impacts on our community or
improve the quality of our neighborhood.
Respectfully,
Bette Todd

I. INTRODUCTION
The proposed McGrady Acres development is located at 86 Post Blvd. in the Town of
Avon, Colorado. The site is north of and adjacent to the Eagle River near Highway 6
approximately one-third of a mile south of Interstate 70. It is currently grass, pavement and has
a few trees and existing buildings.
Proposed for the site are townhomes and associated parking on approximately 3.35 acres
on Lot 3 and Lot 6 McGrady Acres. Historic drainage patterns will be generally maintained, and
stormwater runoff will be directed into water quality vaults for water quality treatment. Runoff
flows to the Eagle River.
II. DRAINAGE BASINS
Drainage basins to each inlet have been delineated on the Drainage Area Map (Sheet
DAM in the map section of this report). There is no significant drainage area entering the site
from offsite.
III. HYDROLOGIC CRITERIA
The Rational Method was used to calculate flows to determine pipe sizes. The Town of
Avon IDF curve was used to determine the 25-year and 100-year rainfall intensities. A copy of
the IDF curve may be found in Appendix A. The time of concentration (Tc) path was short so a
minimum 10-minute Tc was used in all calculations. Runoff coefficients were taken from the
Denver Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) recommended runoff coefficients
Table 3-1 for multi-family attached units. Table 3-1 may be found in Appendix B. Manning’s
Equation results showing that a 12” HDPE at 2.0% slope has a capacity of 6.5 cfs are included in
Appendix C to verify that 12” HDPE pipe was adequate for storm sewer flows for the major

(100-year) storm. A summary of the Rational Method results and the calculations may be found
in Exhibit A.
IV. DETENTION AND WATER QUALITY
The site is directly adjacent to the Eagle River and the increase in flow from the site will
not have an impact on the much larger Eagle River flow. Therefore, detention is not
recommended for the site.
Water quality treatment will be provided by hydrodynamic separator water quality vaults.
V. FLOODPLAIN
The floodplain delineation has been shown on the topographic survey by others and is
between 20 and 30 feet vertically below the site and will not be impacted by the proposed
development.
VI. SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL
An erosion and sediment control plan has been prepared for the project to limit the
transportation of sediments from the site during construction. Devices that may be used during
construction to prevent sediment-laden runoff from leaving the site include stabilized
construction entrances, wattles, silt fence, straw bales and sediment traps. All ditches, cut slopes,
fill slopes and disturbed areas are proposed to be revegetated. A Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (CDPHE) NPDES Stormwater Discharge Associated with Construction
Activity permit will be obtained for the site. A Stormwater Management/Best Management
Practices (SWMP) plan and permit application will be prepared for the development.

VIII. CONCLUSION
The Rational Method has been utilized for pipe sizing. Storm sewer pipes are adequate
for the major storm.
Detention of stormwater is not recommended since the peak flow from the site will be
gone by the time the peak flow from the Eagle River reaches the banks of the site. The flow
from the Eagle River will be much greater than the flow from the site so the runoff from the site
will not impact the floodplain of the Eagle River.
Hydrodynamic separator water quality vaults will provide water quality treatment of
stormwater.

RE: Employee Housing Mitigation for McGrady Acres
DATE: March 1, 2022
SUMMARY: The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Major Development Plan for a twenty -four
(24) unit townhome project in McGrady Acres Subdivision on December 21, 2021. The approval was
contingent upon approval of a Preliminary Subdivision and Employee Housing Mitigation Plan by the Town
Council.
The property owner proposes (“Attachment A”) to purchase a 1-bedroom unit of 750+ square feet in size
to meet the Employee Housing Mitigation requirements. As proposed, the to-be-determined unit would be
purchased by the Applicant prior to the first temporary certificate of occupancy for the project after Town
Council reviews the unit. Alternatively, the Town Council could delegate approval of the chosen unit and
Deed Restriction agreement to Staff as outlined below.
REQUIREMENTS: The Employee Housing Mitigation requirements apply to new multi-family projects that
contain 3 or more units. Based on the mitigation formula, this development must mitigate for 1.3
employees. The following options for Employee Housing Mitigation are outlined in order of preference:
(1) Construction of Employee Housing Mitigation unit(s) on the site on which the development is proposed.
(2) Construction of deed restricted Employee Housing Mitigation unit(s) within the Town, provided such land,
site or structure has not been previously deed-restricted to employee or affordable housing by any party.
(3) Construction of Employee Housing Mitigation unit(s) outside the Town but within the Eagle Valley,
provided such land, site or structure has not been previously deed-restricted to employee or affordable
housing by any party. Prior to construction of such unit(s), consent of the relevant jurisdiction or
homeowner's association (if required) to placement of a deed restriction on the unit(s) must be obtained,
in addition to any required land use approvals. Units outside of the Town must be within the 80% - 140%
AMI range, as defined by the Avon Comprehensive Plan, within the Up or Mid Valley, as defined by the
Eagle River Valley Housing Needs and Solutions plan. Units constructed shall be valued at .75 of the
applicable required Employee Mitigation rate.
(4) Deed restricting existing free market unit(s) within the Town or the Eagle Valley.
(5) Fees-in-lieu, as defined by Town Council resolution and updated every two years, may be provided only
for any fractional remainder of the Employee Mitigation requirement generated under this Section totaling
less than 1.0 employee.
PROCESS: The Town Council approves, approves with conditions, or denies all Employee Housing
Mitigation plans.
COUNCIL OPTIONS:
- Approve the mitigation plan [1 bdrm or larger, 750 sq. ft. or larger, in Avon] and delegate final
approval of unit and deed restriction to Staff, or
- *Approve the plan which is contingent upon Town Council’s review of specific unit, prior to Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy; or
- Request more information and Continue action to a future meeting date; or
- Deny the proposal by motion and vote.
Page 2 of 2
*RECOMMENDATION: My recommendation is to approve the Employee Housing Mitigation Plan for
McGrady Acres, with the following conditions:
1. Avon Town Council must approve unit in Avon of not less than 750 square feet and not less than
1 bedroom in size;
2. Town Attorney to approve deed restriction agreement, consistent with MiCasa form agreement;
3. Unit and Deed restriction will be approved, and Deed Restriction recorded prior to the certificate
of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy, whichever is earlier.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to conditionally approve the Employee Housing Mitigation Plan for
McGrady Acres Enclave as outlined in the Staff Report.”
Thank you, Matt

RE: Parking Management Update
DATE: February 25, 2022
SUMMARY: This report follows up on the Nov 9, 2021, Council discussion on parking management for the
Town of Avon. Several Councilors had concerns about a paid parking program and its impact on workers.
Several Councilors supported a paid parking management program to change behavior and encourage
lower reliance on personal vehicle use. Council requested Staff to provide free parking and paid parking
options.
Parking availability in the Town core has been impacted by overflow from Beaver Creek Resort on several
busy weekends this winter season. We have also observed increased illegal parking at the Avon
Recreation Center which has impacted their operations.
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: Council expressed a variety of comments and concerns, including
identifying who we are trying to serve and providing free parking for employees. I view the West Beaver
Creek Blvd., Lake Street, Benchmark Rd. loop as oriented towards skiers (i.e. Wildridge- Wildwood -
Mountain Star - Nottingham residents and visitors) because we have heavily invested in running a skier
shuttle on these streets. Therefore, I recommend that paid parking in this area is appropriate for
consideration and is an appropriate place to start with paid parking. I recommend the Old Town Hall
parking area remain as free parking which can work well for employees who desire to park for the entire
day. The Recreation Center parking area will need better signage (i.e. NO SKIER PARKING !!! YOU WILL
BE TICKETED !!) and active parking enforcement. The Avon Elementary School parking lot may need this
management as well.
I believe it is important to be conscious of a positive visitor experience and I do not support funding parking
management with high parking tickets (e.g. $50+) with the exception of the Recreation Center. Lastly, no
matter what we do, I expect we will need to adjust as we experience changes in parking behavior and as
parking demands fluctuate.
BACKGROUND: There are approximately 343 parking spaces for Town/Public facilities and 168 public on-
street parking spaces in the Avon commercial core area and 170 public parking spaces at Traer Creek
Plaza. All Parking areas are serviced by Avon Transit.
Parking violators will park all day and risk enforcement. A parking ticket costs $35 in the Town core, $25
outside of the Town core, and a Handicap ticket costs $100. Since 2019, over 500 citations were given out,
that’s about ½ a ticket per day. Enforcement by the Police Department is limited and is driven by
complaints.
A Paid-Parking program may encourage parking turnovers and reduce illegal parking. It may also
encourage transit use and other greener transportation options by disincentivizing driving.
TOWN CORE PARKING MANAGEMENT OPTIONS:
Option 1: Free parking: Public parking will be available to everyone with no limit on hours but no overnight
parking, including all on-street parking and at the Old Town Hall.
Option 2: 3 Hour Free Parking: Public parking would be available for 3 hours only between the hours of
7am and 5pm. All day free parking would be available at the Old Town Hall parking lot.
Page 2 of 4
Option 3: Paid parking on Skier Shuttle Route: Year round paid parking would be introduced for the
parking spaces on Skier Shuttle Route (W Benchmark Rd, Lake Street, and W Beavercreek Blvd) which is
proposed to start at $2/hr after the first three hours. Free all-day parking will be available at the old Town
Hall Location for employees.
The Town of Avon and Beaver Creek Resort invest approximately $250,000 annually on the Skier Express
Shuttle. For the choice parking spaces (~100 spaces) shown below, a $2/hr. fee will be applied after three
hours. Assuming we can generate $3/parking space/day during the busy week-ends, holiday weeks, and
spring break weeks (60 days per year) and a modest amount the rest of the year, the projected revenue is
$40,000/yr.
RECREATION CENTER PARKING MANAGEMENT: The Avon Recreation Center is an important
amenity for visitors and locals. With 136 parking spaces, it is sufficient for patrons and town vehicles.
Unfortunately, during the winter season, skiers park at the Recreation Center parking lots. This condition is
further exacerbated when the Beaver Creek lots are full. Additionally, Beaver Creek Resort stopped
leasing the Rodeo Lot due to high cost, and infrequency (happens a couple of times every season.)
Attendees to Town Special Events have also encroached on the Recreation Center parking lot.
Recommendation: To discourage illegal parking at the Recreation Center, violation fines will have to
increase significantly. In addition, providing additional parking spaces may help with illegal parking.
Option 1: Designate the Avon Recreation Center Parking Lots for “Patrons Only” and establish a parking
violation fine of $50-100. Town Staff will have the flexibility to permit Special Events parking with signage
and notification.
Page 3 of 4
Avon Recreation Center
And/or Option 2: Open W. BC Blvd (westbound shoulder) for skier overflow parking when the Beaver
Creek Resort parking lots are full. Historically, Beaver Creek Resort parking lots fill up several times a
year. A parking fee of $10 to $20 would offset the cost of providing a skier shuttle to the site. This option
would only be available if we implement the paid parking program.
Overflow Skier Parking Area
Page 4 of 4
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Parking management requires active parking enforcement, even with the
existing free parking policies. A full-time parking enforcement officer would work 10 hour shifts four days a
week. Two parking enforcement officers would be required to provide coverage seven days a week during
the busy seasons. In addition, an electric vehicle, license plate reader and parking management software
and equipment would be needed (estimated to cost $100,000).
A free parking management program would be managed by the Police Department. A paid-parking
management program would be managed by the Mobility Department. The cost of parking enforcement
personnel is estimated $90,000/yr ($60,000 salary plus benefits).
Currently, the Transit Supervisor and Superintendent monitor the transit radio after the workday offsite, 5-
10 pm. The Parking Supervisor would cross-train with the Transit Supervisor for better and full onsite
coverage of daily operations for parking and transit (6 am to 10:30 pm daily.)
Mobility may be able to support parking enforcement coverage with existing Mobility staff so that only one
additional parking enforcement position is required. This would result in an annual operating expense of
$90K along with an initial first year expense of $80,000 for free parking and $100,000 for a partial paid
parking program.
For program revenue, assuming 5 tickets a day on average throughout all Town parking lots and on-street
parking areas at $35 may generate $64,000 annually. If paid parking were introduced additional revenues
are estimated at $40,000 annually. Total revenues with partial paid parking is $104,000.
Thank You, Eva, Greg, Gary, Matt, and Michael

RE: Paid-Parking Program Analysis
DATE: October 18, 2021
SUMMARY: Council requested an analysis of a paid-parking program for the Town of Avon (TOA.) This
written report provides a background of our existing parking concerns and proposes a program to
implement parking fees for Avon’s publicly owned parking spaces.
UCLA Professor Shoup famously coined “Free parking is not free.” The cost of the land, pavement, street
cleaning, and maintenance is on the shoulders of taxpayers or consumers, spreading the burden to all
people, whether they own a car or not. Managed parking
is needed to stimulate turnover and encourage public
transit use. Free parking encourages private vehicle
usage.
For Avon, primary parking concerns are 1) the low
turnovers of parking spaces due to employees and
skiers, 2) the Recreation (Rec) Center parking spaces
are occupied by employees, skiers, and Special Events
attendees. On the other hand, Avon residents say they
do not attend special events due to a lack of parking, 3)
the lack of parking for Harry A. Nottingham Park patrons,
4) the demand for overnight and oversized vehicles in town. Parking violators will park all day and risk
enforcement. A parking ticket costs $35, and a Handicap ticket costs $100. Since 2019, over 500 citations
were given out, that’s about ½ a ticket per day. Enforcement by the Police Department is limited and is
driven by complaints.
A Paid-Parking program will encourage parking turnovers and reduce violators. It may also encourage
transit use and other greener transportation options by disincentivizing driving. Revenue from a paid-
parking program will fund a more systematic, comprehensive enforcement program. For Overnight and
Oversized parking needs, there are no available Town-owned spaces that can support this demand. There
are discussions with Traer Creek & Hoffmann, to support overnight and oversized vehicles at Tract A.
A single-tier fee structure is recommended for simplicity. At the
planning stage, a lot of assumptions are made to estimate potential
revenue from a paid-parking program. Based on Vail’s revenue and
parking inventory (Avon’s 500 spaces - 17% of Vail’s inventory),
Avon’s potential revenue could range up to $1,000,000 (17% of
Vail’s revenue.) Assuming a much lower demand for the TOA, 50%
of the estimated revenue ($500,000) should cover the cost to
operate a paid-parking program.
Page 2 of 11
Program management will include Parking software, Equipment, and Staffing. Based on implementation
costs from other agencies, approximately $200,000 - $300,000 will be needed (Software, Kiosks, Parking
Software App, and License Plate Reader.) There are variations among the many different parking software
applications. As a start, to manage and enforce the program, an estimate of 3 staff would be needed at a
cost of $270,000/year (similar to the Town of Breckenridge.)
Potential revenue dedication after program overhead could be 1) transit service 2) micro-mobility service
such as ebike shares 3) Parking Pavement Maintenance and Markings, and 4) Green initiatives.
BACKGROUND: There are approximately 2,185 public parking spaces in the Avon core area, see Table 1.
About 500 spaces are owned and maintained by the Town. Of these, about 160 spaces are on-
street spaces with the remaining 340 spaces in lots serving town amenities/services. All Parking
areas are serviced by Avon Transit. There are various parking challenges.
Table 1. Public Parking Space Inventory in the Avon Community
Page 3 of 11
On-Street Parking Turnover of on-street parking continues to be an issue, especially parking spaces on
West Benchmark Road. Local employees and Skiers have found those spaces attractive, close to
Avon Station and large employment centers such as the Westin and Four Seasons. Demand for
parking spaces is dynamic and is somewhat driven by development/construction and employment
centers.
Rec Center – The Avon Rec Center is an important amenity for visitors and locals. The usage peaks
between 5-8 pm. With 136 parking spaces, one may say parking is sufficient. Unfortunately,
others have used those parking spaces for other reasons than to visit the Rec Center. During the
winter season, skiers looking for free parking have parked at the Rec Center. Attendees to Town
Special Events also encroached on the Rec Center parking lot. This summer, a lacrosse
tournament, overwhelmed the Rec Center parking lot and many users were unable to access the
center.
Harry A. Nottingham Park – The north parking lot for the park/beach consists of 20 parking spaces. It is
currently marked for 8 drop-offs, 2 ADA, and 10 2-hr parking spaces. The park and beach are very
popular. Prior to May 2021, overflow parking was allowed on the shoulders on the north side of W
BC Blvd. The ad hoc, parking on the shoulders was not ideal. Visitors were not using the
Elementary School parking lot due to distance and terrain concerns. Adding approx. 70 paved,
angled, parking spaces on W. BC Blvd is estimated at $1.2M. Although the Sep 2021 Community
Survey found 50% of the respondent wanted improvements to parking and pedestrian safety on
West Beaver Creek Blvd, many of the residents near the lake did not want the on-street parking.
Feedback included trespassing onto private property and inappropriate behavior.
Special Events – Summer concerts and evening venues continue to be very popular and are a big draw
for the town. In the Sep 2021 Community Survey, 30% of the respondents said they did not attend
Town events because parking was too difficult. Attendance can range from 2,000 to 10,000. From
a low of 2,000 attendees (assuming half will walk to the venue) 333 parking spaces are estimated
to be needed for 1,000 attendees who would drive. To support larger venues, Special Events have
leased the Beaver Creek parking lots and private lots. It is expected that more mitigation strategies
such as express shuttles are needed to reduce parking space demand for larger venues. Due to
the proximity of the Rec Center parking lot to the Performance Pavilion, the Rec Center Parking Lot
continues to be encroached upon during special events.
Town Hall - Parking spaces at the Town Hall are reserved for Town Hall visitors, Avon staff, and the
Seasons Hotel (a 2-hr limit.) There are 4 Drop-off spaces for Prater Ln Preschool. In 2019, the
town implemented permit parking for Avon residents on days the Town Hall is closed (Weekends
and Holidays). In the 2019-2020 ski season, 8 permits were issued. In the 2020-2021 ski season,
13 permits were issued. The permits are issued electronically via email by the Mobility Dept. Plans
are to continue to offer this opportunity to Avon residents.
Overnight/Oversized Parking - Staff continues to receive requests for overnight parking for cars,
campers, and oversized vehicles. Overnight parking is not permitted in Town-owned parking lots
and on-street parking. Prohibition is due to access for snow removal and avoidance to compete
with lodges in the summer. For Overnight and Oversized parking needs, there are no available
Page 4 of 11
Town-owned spaces that can support this demand. Accommodations have been made for visitors
staying in Avon and traveling in campers and oversized vehicles. The Police Dept and Public
Works have accommodated them at the upper tier lots at Swift Gulch site, free of charge. This site
is designated for future employee housing. There are discussions with Traer Creek & Hoffmann to
support overnight and oversized vehicles at Tract A.
Local Lodging Parking Management – Avon Lodges varies in the management of their onsite parking.
Among the lodges below, only Westin doesn’t provide employee parking. During peak times,
holidays, some lodges encourage their employees to take transit or park elsewhere.
1. Comfort Inn: One parking pass per room rental at no additional cost. A second pass may be
issued under special request at no additional cost. Employees park on site.
Housekeepers use transit. Summer is their highest parking demand. Had issues
with violators until PD issued citations.
2. Sheraton: One parking space per room at no additional cost. A second pass may be issued
under special request at no additional cost. Employees park on site. The holiday
season is their peak demand, and they may ask employees to park elsewhere.
During the summer, they receive 1 to 2 requests for RV parking.
3. Christie Lodge: One parking pass per one-bedroom room at no additional cost. Two parking
passes per 3-bedroom room at no additional cost. $10/day for additional parking
spaces. Employees park on site. Strict monitoring of parking passes.
4. Wyndham: $15/night per vehicle. No limit. Employees park on site/in the garage.
5. Seasons: Free underground parking garage for all guests. Up to 3 vehicles per unit. All
employees park on site. Entry gate control parking violators.
6. Westin: $35/$45 (valet) per night for guests. $60/night for non -hotel guests. Gym members have
passes. No parking for employees on site. Their biggest issues are requests for
oversized vehicles
Signage and Consistency in Parking Limits – Parking signs and time limits vary based on location.
Consistent parking time limits may be easier to remember, understand, follow, and enforce.

Enforcement: The police department enforces parking regulations as well as code enforcement at Harry A.
Nottingham Park. Parking enforcement is augmented by a code enforcement officer during the busy holiday
season and Summer activities. A parking ticket costs $35, and a Handicap ticket costs $100. Since 2019,
over 500 citations were given out, that’s about ½ a ticket per day. Enforcement by the Police Department is
limited and is driven by complaints.
OTHER PAID-PARKING PROGRAMS: Neighboring resort communities such as the Town of Vail, the
Town of Breckenridge, and the Town of Aspen have implemented a paid-parking program for years. A
summary of other local resort communities that charge for parking is attached.
Town of Vail (TOV) – TOV manages over 3,000 parking spaces with 20+ in-house staff. For 2022, they
are projecting $2M expenditures which include s $1M in equipment and software replacement.
Their projected revenue is $6.5M accrued in their General Fund. All parking spaces in the Town of
Vail are housed in parking garages and lots and operational 24/7.
Town of Breckenridge (TOB) – TOB manages over 2,000 parking spaces consisting of on-street
parking and parking lots. The service is contracted out to the Interstate Parking Company. A staff
of 3 manages the contract. Their revenues are dedicated to their fare-free transit operations and
Mobility Capital projects.
Breckenridge Town Manager, Rick Holman, on paid parking “We wish we had done it sooner”
Town of Aspen (TOAs) – TOAs manages over 4,000 parking spaces consisting of 685 main street
spaces, 3,000 residential parking spaces, and a 300-space parking garage. Their 11+ in-house
staff includes 6 enforcement officers. The program includes parking fees, permits, and carpool
permits. Their revenues are dedicated to their fare-free transit/mobility program.
Aspen Transportation Director, John Krueger, “The store owners are happy every time they raise
downtown parking fees; Sale tax rises every time they raise parking fees”
Page 6 of 11
PAID-PARKING ANALYSIS: UCLA Professor Shoup famously coined “Free parking is not free.” The cost
of the land, pavement, street cleaning, and maintenance is on the shoulders of taxpayers or consumers,
spreading the burden to all people, whether they own a car or not. Professor Shoup also caution s that free
parking forces people to cruise for spots (increasing emissions) and subsidizes driving. Professor Shoup’s
research shows free parking subsidy increases the demand for parking and the total number of miles
driven. Additional research shows that among dense American cities, public transit use is significantly
higher where parking is more expensive. Free parking encourages private vehicle usage.
Professor Shoup recommends charging the right price for parking, with is ideally, letting the market set at
the lowest rate necessary to achieve an availability of approximately 15 percent, to avoid cruising. Parking
demand varies by location, time of day, day of the week, and season.
With Avon’s parking concerns, a Paid-Parking program will encourage parking turnovers, transit use, and
use of other greener transportation options by disincentivizing driving. The fee structure can be a single tier
for all spaces or a tiered structure with the 1st tier for premium spaces. Starting a paid-parking program
with a single tier rate structure system may be simplest for users to remember and follow, and for
managers to manage.
With a Single Tiered fee structure, all TOA public parking spaces would be free for 1st two hours
of use, then the fee would be $2/hr. For example, it would cost $4 to park for four hours, and
parking all day in Avon, 8 am - 5 pm would cost $14. With a two-tier parking fee structure, the
parking spaces closest to the mountain, Avon Station, and Performance Pavilion would carry
the premium fees (highlight in red.) The lower tier parking spaces, such as W. Beaver Creek
Blvd, and E. Benchmark Rd, would have a lower fee (highlighted in yellow.)

For the Rec Center, paid parking will disincentivize skiers, it will be cheaper to park at the Elk or Bear lot.
However, usage at the Rec Center may regularly exceed the 2 hr free period. The parking management
software will need to be able to waive the 3rd-hour fee when they check into the Rec Center.
For Special Events, with paid parking, it is anticipated that employees and skiers will no longer take up
public parking spaces during the day, and thus will free up parking spaces along Lake Street and W.
Benchmark Rd going into the evening. Avon staff has observed parking availability at the Town Hall
parking lot during Avon Live music venues. Parking direction/information may need to be more targeted for
Special Events.
Harry A. Nottingham Park – Park usage continues to be high. Although the Sep 2021 Community Survey
found 50% of the respondents wanted improvements to parking and pedestrian safety on West Beaver
Creek Blvd, many of the residents near the lake did not want the on-street parking. Feedback included
trespassing onto private property and inappropriate behavior. Adding approx. 70 paved, angled, parking
spaces and a pedestrian crossing on W BC Blvd is estimated at $1.2M. Targeted communication for park
patrons to park at the Elementary School may be needed. Another review of the on-street parking on W.
Beaver Creek Blvd. concept will be needed if demand continues to grow.
The demand for oversized and overnight parking cannot be met with Town’s property. A potential site is
Track A, the green circle. Staff has initiated conversations with Traer Creek & Hoffmann about potentially
using the upper lot for overnight and oversized vehicles. Their concern is the potential disturbance and
trash by the additional parking traffic, as they have seen at the Walmart parking lot. Permitted parking will
provide additional control needed for proper management. Permits will only be extended to Avon residents
and visitors staying in an Avon lodging facility. The parking revenue will be used to keep the site clean and
surveilled. Staff will continue to work with the Lindholms.

IMPLEMENTING PAID-PARKING PROGRAM: There are many Parking Management Applications
available, and they have evolved to meet everyone’s needs. Comprehensive programs include access
through smartphone apps, solar-powered kiosks, and websites. Programs can be operated by in-house
staff or be completely contracted out for a turn-key service, such as the TOB.
Starting a paid-parking program with a single fee structure may be the simplest to manage and enforce,
charging a parking fee from 8 am to 5 pm during the winter and summer season. Visits less than 2 hrs will
be free, then the parking fee will be $2/hr. Parking for 4 hrs would cost $4 and parking all day in Avon
would cost $14.
At the planning stage, a lot of assumptions have to be made to estimate potential revenue from a paid-
parking program. Based on Vail’s revenue and parking inventory (Avon’s 500 spaces - 17% of Vail’s
inventory), Avon’s potential revenue could range up to $1,000,000 (17% of Vail’s revenue.) Assuming a
much lower demand than TOV, 50% of the estimated revenue - $500,000 may cover the cost to operate a
paid-parking program.
Program management will include Parking software, Equipment, and Staffing. Based on implementation
costs from other agencies, approximately $200,000 - 300,000 will be needed (Software, Kiosks, Parking
Page 11 of 11
Software App, and License Plate Reader.) In addition, to manage and enforce the program, as a start, an
estimate of 3 staff would be needed at a cost of $250,000/year.
Parking Management falls under the Mobility Department. The mobility management team consists of a
Director, a Superintendent, and a Supervisor. With 16.5 hrs/7days (120hrs/wk) a week transit operation,
the supervisory staff is already stretched very thin. Staffing levels will depend on the structure of the paid-
parking program, contracted or in-house. A minimum staff of a Parking Superintendent and 2 parking
operators will be needed based on the Town of Breckenridge’s turnkey parking program and for 7 days a
week coverage. The Transit and Parking teams would cross-train to support both activities.
Potential net revenue dedication could be 1 ) transit service 2) Micro mobility programs such as ebike
shares 3) Parking Pavement Maintenance and Markings and 4) Green initiatives,
STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION – Nov 2022:
1) Hire a Parking Supervisor -Jan 2022

program/plan
2) Finalize Paid-Parking Plan/Staffing level with Council – May 2022

RE: Assignment and Assumption of Restated Development Agreement for Track C
Background:
The Town has received a request to approve the attached Assignment and Assumption of Restated
Development Agreement for Track C of the Mountain Vista Resort Subdivision in the Town of Avon.
Tract C is the vacant land between the Town Hall building and Sheraton Mountain Vista building. In
October 1998 the original development agreement for Track C was entered into by in between Vail
Associates Investments, Shapiro Development, and the Town. Subsequently, in 2016 the Restated
Development Agreement was entered into for Track C with the current owner, Points of Colorado,
Inc and the Town.
At this time Points of Colorado wishes to transfer all rights and obligations under the Restated
Development Agreement to Lot 3 Mountain Vista LLC. The 2016 Restated Development Agreement
addresses Water Rights, Parking, Employee Housing Mitigation, the Recreational Amenities Fee, and
other topics. All these rights and obligations run with the land and are appropriate for a new owner to
assume. The proposed assignment and assumption is for all rights and obligations. As such, we see
no issues with approving the assignment as required by Paragraph 7.9 in the Restated Development
Agreement.
Both Legal and the Town Manager recommend approval of the assignment.
Proposed motion:
“I move to approve the Assignment and Assumption of Restated Development Agreement for Tract C
from Points of Colorado, Inc., to Lot 3 Mountain Vista LLC.”

RE: Amendment to Res. No 20-17 Food Truck Locations
DATE: March 1, 2022
SUMMARY: This Report provides a follow-up to the initial review by Council on February 22, 2022 of
proposed changes to Food Truck policies. At the last Council meeting several Council members expressed
concerns about any competition with existing Avon restaurants and several Council members expressed
interest in providing some food truck offerings to meet public demand. Council continued the discussion to
this Council meeting. Based on comments from the last Council meeting, Staff is presenting a more limited
and targeted approach for food trucks which designates locations on Lake Street and within Harry A.
Nottingham Park to serve summer park users and a location on the Avon Plaza railroad crossing to
compliment the existing Rocky Mountain Taco Food Truck. These locations are discussed in more detail
below.
Resolution No. 22-05 is presented to Council which would delete the requirement that food trucks and
vendors must be operated by an existing restaurant or food purveyor business in Avon.
BACKGROUND: The Staff Report from the February 22, 2022, Council meeting is attached as Exhibit A.
ANALYSIS: Based on the discussion at the February 22nd Council meeting Staff is providing a map
attached as Exhibit B, depicting proposed locations for five (5) food trucks, trailers and/or carts in locations
that would (1) not be located near Avon’s brick-and-mortar restaurants, (2) would provide food and
beverage options to park users in the summer, and (3) would avoid or minimize impacts to parking. A
written description of locations is provided below:
1. Location #1 = Grab and go, pre-packed, convenient (chips, soda, candy/food bars, etc.); small
trailer or cart that would stay in place for summer.
2. Location #2 = Parking lot adjacent to Metcalf Cabin “patio” which could accommodate a truck
and/or trailer capable of providing full-service menu – if desired - for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner
in the summer.
3. Location #3 = East side of Lake Street in the bus pull in/out and adjacent to the Avon Recreation
Center which could accommodate a truck and/or trailer capable of providing full-service menu – if
desired - for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner in the summer.
4. Location #4 – Old Town Hall parking lot in stalls near where the flags poles used to be located
which could accommodate a truck and/or trailer capable of providing full-service menu – if desired -
for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner in the summer.
5. Location #5 – Near railroad tracks/Avon Station/Westin which could accommodate a smaller truck
and/or trailer capable of providing a full-service menu – if desired - for breakfast, lunch and/or
dinner in the winter.
All locations have good line of sight as guests are enjoying Nottingham Park as well as commuting to/from
Nottingham Park, Avon Recreation Center, residential and/or lodging properties, and Avon Transit Station.
Four (4) of the five (5) locations are proposed for summer operations only. Additionally, locations #1 - #4
could potentially provide quick convenient food options for the local lunch crowd during the summer.
Location #5 is proposed as a potential for winter operations to compliment the offerings at Rocky Mountain
Taco and further service the skier crowd. This location could be considered for summer operations as well.
Page 2 of 2
Staff reduced the number of location choices available from eight (8) to five (5) to incrementally re-
introduce the program. If amendments to the Food Truck criteria are approved by Council, Staff would
report to Council after the summer season on the success and impacts of the Food Truck program.
EXISTING AVON PLAZA LOCATION: Council comments included a question on whether the existing
Rocky Mountain Taco food trailer location should be rebid. Staff has no recommendations. Rocky Mountain
Taco has operated well in this location and the only issues have been some customers parking in the bust
stop area from time to time.
RECOMMENDATION: Users in Harry A. Nottingham Park have voiced a desire for more food vending
options in the park. I recommend Res. No. 20-17 be amended to remove the restriction that “…such food
trucks and vendors are operated by an existing restaurant or food purveyor business in Avon” as outlined in
Attachment B Res. No 22-05.
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: I believe location 1 can be coordinated with our SUP Co vendor and can
be a modest cart set-up to offer very basic beverages and snacks. I recommend that Council approves
Town Staff to pursue this option with SUP Co to serve park users in beach area. Locations 2, 3 and 4 have
good visibility in Harry A. Nottingham Park and could provide more food options for park users between
special events when we regularly have food vendors. If Council approves the change to Resolution 22-05 I
recommend that only one food truck be approved initially to be permitted to operate at Location 2, 3, OR 4.
I recommend that Council does not conduct a bid or proposal process for the Rocky Mountain Taco
location at this time. This business has worked well with the Town and has proven to be a good fit at this
location. Perhaps in 1-3 years when there are more food truck vendors operating in Avon it would be
appropriate to revisit the permit for this location.
OPTIONS:
1. No Action/No Change – keep Resolution 20-17 as is (no motion or action is necessary by Council)
2. Approve Res. No 20-17 to remove the restriction that “…such food trucks and vendors are
operated by an existing restaurant or food purveyor business in Avon” [with or without revisions].
3. Provide direction to Staff on other options for locations, number and qualification of Food Truck and
Food Cart vendors.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 22-05 Establishing the Location and
Maximum Number of Food Trucks.”
Thank you, Danita

FROM: Danita Dempsey, CASE Manager
RE: Amendment to Res. No 20-17 Food Truck Locations
DATE: February 10, 2022
SUMMARY: An amendment to Resolution No. 20-17 Establishing the Location and Maximum Number
of Food Trucks is presented for Council consideration. Resolution No. 20-17 authorizes broad authority
for administrative approval of food truck and vendors west of Avon Road.
BACKGROUND: In 2016 the Avon Town Council adopted limited authorization for food trucks and vendors
and the Town Manager implemented with administrative regulations and guidelines. During the COVID-19
pandemic in 2020 and related health and safety concerns, Avon Town Council approved and adopted an
amendment to Resolution No. 20-17 on May 26, 2020 - see Attachment A. The amendment to include
revisions to (1) support opportunities for outdoor dining in open park areas and (2) support Avon based
restaurant or food purveyor businesses. This allowed administrative approval so that we could work quickly
with interested operators and included regulations limiting permits to Avon based restaurants and food
purveyors.
Currently, Rocky Mountain Taco, which is not an Avon based restaurant or food purveyor, is the only
operator with an active permit and is “grandfathered” in due to an established track record of success, and
appeal. El Sabor Mazatlán, which is an Avon based restaurant received a permit to operate June 30th –
October 15th, 2020; and December 2nd – June 1st, 2021. However, operated on a very limited basis due to
issues with staffing and/or equipment failure. This is the only Avon based restaurant or food purveyor who
submitted a complete application and was granted a permit. Additionally, Staff received an inquiry this
month from an Avon based business (not a restaurant or food purveyor) who recently purchased a food
trailer and is interested in applying for a food truck location.
Staff received numerous calls and emails regarding the operation of a food truck on Town owned property,
however, did not keep track of inquiries on a consistent basis. With that said, Staff can recall the following
four inquiries:
1. The Zen Den – Kombucha and coffee; received a Peddler’s License and is not an Avon based
business.
2. Bonanza – Did not apply due to permits only being available to Avon based restaurants or food
purveyors.
3. The Hook Fish & Chips – interested in short-term (less than 5 days) and is not an Avon based
business.
4. Uncle Sleeper’s Food – Did not apply due to permits only being available to Avon based
restaurants or food purveyors.
ANALYSIS: There has been little to no interest from Avon based restaurants or food purveyors other than
from El Sabor Mazatlán. The 2021 Community Survey indicates 46.8% of respondents desire “More food
and beverage opportunities in the park during the summer.” Staff anticipates that opening Avon’s food truck
program to allow for purveyors from out of Avon to be considered will support the original objective of the
program as identified in the May 2016 RFP, “The objective of the Food Truck program is to support new
small business opportunity, attract activity to Harry A. Nottingham Park, and to enhance the visitor and
resident experience.”
Page 2 of 2
RECOMMENDATION: To realize the desire reflected in the Community Survey to have “more food and
beverage…” as well as drive vibrancy and activity in locations near Nottingham Park, I recommend Res.
No. 20-17 be amended to remove the restriction that “…such food trucks and vendors are operated by an
existing restaurant or food purveyor business in Avon” as outlined in Attachment B Res. No 22-05.
OPTIONS:
•Approve request to amend Res. No 20-17 to remove the restriction that “…such food trucks and
vendors are operated by an existing restaurant or food purveyor business in Avon” [with or without
revisions].
•Deny request to amend Res. No 20-17.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 22-05 Establishing the Location and
Maximum Number of Food Trucks removing the restriction that such food trucks and vendors are
operated by an existing restaurant or food purveyor business in Avon.”

RE: 2021 Audit Engagement Letter
DATE: February 23, 2022
SUMMARY: An engagement letter with McMahan and Associates for the independent audit of the Town's
2021 financial statements is included for approval by motion.
BACKGROUND: The Finance Department issued a Request for Proposal for Professional Auditing Services
in December, 2021. Proposals were sent to 6 firms in Colorado that are well known for performing audits of
local governments of our size, as well as being placed on the Town's website. Of the 6 firms, 4 contacted
me directly to indicate that they were not in a position to propose on the engagement. One firm did not
respond. McMahan and Associates submitted a timely proposal that met all the requirements of the RFP
and their estimate of fees appears to be reasonable and in-line with fees from previous years.
The attached engagement letter is in the standard form recommended by the A merican Institute of Certified
Public Accountants for local government engagements. The Fee for the 2021 audit is estimated to be
$24,700. In addition, due to Federal funds being received by the Town, it is likely that the Town will need to
have a Single Audit performed. In that case there would be an additional fee of $4,465 for the Single Audit.
The 2020 audit was performed for a total fee, including the Single Audit, of $28,950.
PROPOSED MOTION: "Move to approve the audit engagement letter with McMahan and Associates for the
2021 calendar year independent audit."

the Town, as of December 31, 2021, and for the year then ended and the related notes, which collectively
comprise the Town’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAS”) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would
influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as promulgated
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”)require that management’s discussion and
analysis (“MD&A”) and schedules relating to the Town's net pension liability (asset) and pension
contributions be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.Such information, although not
a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the GASB, who considers it to be an essential part
of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information (“RSI”) in accordance with U.S. GAAS. These limited procedures will consist
primarily of inquiries of management regarding their methods of measurement and presentation, and
comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries. We will not
express an opinion or provide any form of assurance on the RSI. The following RSI is required by GAAP.
This RSI will be subjected to certain limited procedures but will not be audited:
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Schedule of the Town’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) –Police and
General Government Employees
Schedule of Town Pension Contributions –Police and General Government Employees
The following RSI is required by U.S. GAAP and will be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audit of the basic financial statements and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to the Town's
basic financial statements:
Budgetary schedules for the General Fund and major special revenue funds (as applicable)

Supplementary information other than RSI will accompany the Town’s basic financial statements. We will
subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
basic financial statements and perform certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
the supplementary information to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in
accordance with U.S. GAAS. We intend to provide an opinion on the following supplementary information
in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole:
Combining statements for non-major governmental funds
Budgetary comparison schedules for non-major governmental funds and proprietary funds
Local Highway Finance Report
Debt Schedule
Auditor Responsibilities
We will conduct our audit in accordance with U.S.GAAS. As part of an audit in accordance with U.S.
GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We will also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.However,we will communicate to you
in writing concerning any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control
relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have identified during the audit.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Town’s ability to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an
unavoidable risk that some material misstatements may not be detected exists, even though the audit is
properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. GAAS.
Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any
other periods.
Audit Procedures –Compliance
As previously discussed, as part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of Town of Avon’s compliance with the
provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements. However, the objective of our audit
will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion.

outside of Avon to offer food truck services in town on Town-owned property in designated locations

Councilor Andrade, Councilor Underwood and Mayor Pro Tem Phillips were not supportive to open
this opportunity up to businesses outside Avon and expressed they wanted to support the brick-and-
mortar establishments that operate year-round, including off seasons, and did not want to add
competition.
Councilor Hardy, Councilor Prince and Mayor Smith Hymes were supportive to give this a try for two
years and to then re-assess, they liked the idea that this could add vibrancy and offer another option
for quick and easy grab-and-go that does not necessarily compete with a sit-down lunch at a local
restaurant. Mayor Pro Tem Phillips expressed she may reconsider in one year once restaurants have
had more time to recover from COVID-19. Councilor Hardy suggested to consider allowing the food
trucks maybe once a month or so. Mayor Smith Hymes expressed that in terms of permitted
locations, she would not like to see them take up parking spaces and would not like to see them near
a brick-and-mortar Avon restaurant.
Town Manager Eric Heil suggested to continue this to a future meeting so that councilor Thuon could
