Inc., has applied for approval to allow temporary parking for
employees of Vail Associates in anticipation of the World
Championships on Lot 61, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek.
The Lot consists of 1.06 acres and is zoned Town Center. She
stated that the applicant has provided a letter of
explanation and a lease signed by the owner allowing uhe use
of the property for parking until April 15, 1989. She
described the location of the lot in question on the map
provided. Fritzlen stated that there are a number of
concerns to be considered which have been used in the past
for this type of application. She stated that if the
Commission concurs with the application, Staff recommends the
following conditions to an approval: 1. Length of approval
be concurrent with length approved by property owner, which
is April 15, 1989; 2. Adequate safeguards be provided to
control the tracking of mud and fugitive dust from the site;
and 3. Access to the site be installed in accordance with
all applicable Rules and Regulations of the Town of Avon.
Fritzlen stated that the access to the site was installed and
has been inspected by Larry Brooks of the Public Works
Department and he feels that it meets the Town of Avon
regulations for a road cut permit.
Discussion followed on the use of the Lodge at Avon lot also.
Hill asked how many cars can be parked in this lot. Fritzlen
stated that she would estimate about 100. Discussion
followed on the safeguard of tracking mud etc. Reynolds
stated that he thought they would take every effort to take
care of the problem. Discussion followed on the dust
problems with such lots. Concerns were voiced regarding the
use of the lots in the summer by tot!rists once an access to
the lot has been installed. It Was suggested that some sort
of barrier should be installed at the end of the lease.
Discussion followed on the guidelines provided.
Reynolds moved to approve the request to use Lot 61, Block 2,
as a parking lot, with the stipulation that excess debris and
mud will be removed from the Town roads. This approval will

regular meeting as presented.

The motion carried unanimously.
Other Business
Fritzlen stated that Pat Barron, of Otia Company had
scheduled a worksession with the Council last week and they
discussed the access situatio�j. The conclusion was that the
Council would allow the Otis; Company to pursue design review
without verifying the access. Similar to what the
Commission's response was. Fritzlen stated that the State
Highway Access Code does regulate the reconstruction and the
use of any access off of a road that is under the Highway
jurisdiction, which Avon Road still is. A change of use on a
property, even though there may be an existing access, does
require a new access permit and possibly upgrading the
access. The Access Code is indiscriminate whether it is a
private developer or a local jurisdiction, they require the
application process. It is fairly involved and fairly
costly. The applicant has asked that they not be burdened
with this in order to pursue their projecc, but that they
would continue to cooperate with the Town.
Discussion followed on the possible amendment to the sign
program for 51 Beaver Creek Place.
Reynolds asked if there can be anything done regarding the
foundation in Wildridge. Fritzlen stated that she had
checked it again to see if it had caved in. She stated that
Greg Kraft had met all the requested corrections asked for by
the past building official. Reynolds stated that it is a
public nuisance, an eyesore to the community and is an
unusable foundation at this point. It will have to be done
over. He would like to see it built on or taken down. Right
now it is a dump site. Cuny asked if Fritzlen would see iF
anything can be done to get the foundation removed.
Cuny asked about any update on North American Van Lines.
Fritzlen stated that they have corrected the pallet
situation. The problem with the parking within the

right-of-way seems to have been worked out with the police
department in terms of taking the cabs off the trailers and
parking them in the parking lot. North American has also
taken over the other portion of the warehouse, so that should
relieve the pallet storage problem. Cuny asked about the
parking of trailers �,the lower parking lot.
Cuny asked about Wal-Mart buildirg their trash container.
Fritzlen stated that she had written a lettEr to Bruce Wasco
last week regarding this matter and asking him to come into
compliance within thirty days.
Further discussion followed on the recourse the Town might
have regarding the abandoned foundation. It was suggested
that Reynolds, as a homeowner in Wildridge, check the
covenants for Wildridge regarding this tyoe of situation.
Doll moved to adjourn.
Perkins seconded.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 PM.
