Item No. 2
Use for
Dick Kvach explained Colorado Ute was trying to develop a loop system up the
valley. The preferred route and possible alternatives were explained. The
alignment does not bring the line directly across the top of the peaks but will
follow along the hillside. They will be following the existing 69 KV line. ltoo
additional items were requested that did not come in (1) the legal description
defining the exact right-of-way line and (2) revegetation plan for areas that
will be disturbed. Mr. McNeil of Colorado Ute indicated that these things can
be given to the town. Recommend that this Special Review Use be approved or.the
conditions that we get a legal description prior to Town Council action and that
there be no land disturbed until the revegetation plan is approved by the Design
Review Board and the Town Council.
John McNeil of Colorado Ute stated they are planning on using the existing towers
for the upgraded line. The poles will remain the same and will be in the same
locations. Reason that precise legal description cannot be provided for pole
locations is because a survey has not been completed.
Jerry Davis asked that in erecting this new line what is the plan as far as
disturbing the land?
John McNeil answered in the area where there is an existing line we will be using
the existing access as far as possible. There will be minimal disturbance. If we
use an alternate alignment around Berry Creek there will be new construction. Where
there is disturbance we plan on revegetating the area. Need to have access for
maintenance.
Jerry Davis stated that the road access from Metcalf Road upto the first pole
should be vegetated so it won't be obtrusive.

added (3) Road to access line visible from Metcalf Road to be removed after line
is installed within Town of Avon. Motion was seconded by Tommy Landauer and was
