Dick Kvach stated the Town of Avon agreed to request rezoning of the lots to
SPA as part of an agreement on a court settlement. The SPA zoning would be for
the following uses: Lot B as Open Space; Lot 5 for Condo/Hotel of 50 units;
Lots 52A and 52B for Private Park, Recreation and Commercial. Lot B is presently
zoned as Open Space and future land use plans are for it to remain as Open Space
so the zoning should be left as is. Feels the SPA would be appropriate for Lots
52A and 52B. Recommendations are that Tract B (Open Space) be deleted from the
request. Lot 5 be RHDC. 52A & 52B be SPA. If any or all of the lots are approved
for SPA then the following conditions would apply:

all setbacks are taken into account it may not be useable as commercial and the
town may have to give relief to the land owner. Suggested that if this is to be

Jerry Davis stated he was concerned with Lot 51 losing the view corridor from
Lot 5 possibly having a 60 foot building.
After lengthy discussion, Jerry Davis moved to continue this public hearing
on the zoning change of Lots 5, 52A 6 Tract B to the November 18, 1982 meeting.

Item No. 3, Avon Center Building Sign Lot A, Block 2, B
Dick Kvach stated this request is for a sign to be located on the northeast side
of the building at the 8th story level. It will be 55.4 square feet. The
Design Review Board originally approved a ground level sign as part of the
Comprehensive Sign Program of Avon Center. This request is to eliminate the
ground sign and put it on the building to be seen better. The letters will be
Bronze Channelume letters. The proposed sign materials are the same as the other
signs. The sign is under the maximum allowed 64 square feet. Recommending the
sign be approved.
Nick Dalba stated that no one can identify Avon Center. He is also concerned
with the light color of the sign on the light building. The sign will be lit
24 hours. Suggested wrapping the letters with one inch bronze border to help
the letters stand out.
Jerry Davis moved to approve the application for Avon Center for the building sign
on Phase I to be approximately 64 square feet witn one inch border around each
letter to be consistant with the previous signing plan and the sign can be lit
24 hours. Motion was seconded by Bob Zeeb. With no further discussion the
motion was passed unanimously.
Other Business:
Ordinance Amending Lock -Offs:
Dick Kvach stated that the proposal on lock -offs basically defines what a lock -
off is, where it is to be permitted and what the parking requirements would be.
After lengthy discussion it was decided to send the proposed amendment to the
Town Council for their imput.
Sign Ordinance Amendment:
Dick Kvach briefly outlined the proposed changes to the Sign Code Ordinance as
follows: Section 1 adds a clause that there shall not be any other advertising
or signs constructed or maintained unless approved by DRB; and that all Buildings
having multiple businesses will submit an overall comprehensive sign program.
This was originally optional. Real Estate signs will be a�Lowed on vacant lots as
long as they are placed beyond the required setback lines.
The Board requested the sign amendments be passed on to the Council.
Jerry Davis moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion was seconded by Bob Zeeb and
was passed unanimously. Meeting was adjourned at 11:30 p.m.
