Municipal Complex, 400 Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado. Originally
scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m., the meeting was convened at 6:00
p.m., due to lack of a quorum. The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Mike Blair.

Members Absent: Pat Cury

The purpose of this meeting was to consider Ordinance No. 85-9
(formerly Ordinance No. 84-13), and to formulate Commission
recommendation for the Town Council regarding this Ordinance.
Ordinance No. 85-9, Series of 1985, AN ORDINnINCE AMENDING TITLE 17
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE TOWN OF AVON AS IT RELATES TO SIZES
OF UNJTS TO BE PERMITTED BY FRACTIONALIZATION AND TO DELETE THE
DEFINITION OF "EF:FICIENCY UNIT" AND "GROSS RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA"
Since Pat Cuny, Secretary to the Commission, was absent,
Commission member Dingwell was appointed Secretary for this
meeting.
Mr. James reviewed the ordinance, stating that the main changes
were on page 2, Section "D". Instead of basing Development Right
fraction calculations on unit type (i.e.: Efficiency,
one -bedroom, Hotel -Lodge, etc.), the ordinance under consideration

would predicate the fraction of a Development Right allowed upon
square footage. As outlined in the proposed ordinance, the square
footage/fraction formula would be as follows:
0
- 450
sq.ft.
1/4
DR
451
- 600
sq.ft.
1/3
DR
601
- 800
sq.ft.
1/2
DR
801
- 1200
sq.ft.
3/4
DR
Mr. James suggested that the Commission recommend that Council add
the words "maximum unit size"
At this point, Chairman Blair opened the meeting for Public
Hearing. There being no comment from the public, Blair then
closed the Public Hearing.
Blair offered the proposed ordinance to the Commission for
discussion.
Dingwell felt that "maximum size" should be included with the
square footage listings, for clarification.
The Town Attorney stated that this wording had been added
previously, and the fact that it was not shown on the ordinance at
this time was just an oversight.
Davis felt that the proposed maximum unit sizes may be too
restrictive. He felt they should be increased.
James stated he would not be comfortable increasing the unit
sizes. He felt the 450 sq.ft. designation would allow for
Hotel -type developments, which he felt should be encouraged.
Landauer also felt the maximum unit sizes might be increased.
Discussion followed, regarding the pros and cons of raising the
maximum square footage allowed for 1/4 of a Development Right.
Blair pointed out a typographical error on the first page of the
ordinance. In the second "WHEREAS", "12.22" should be "17.22".
It was stated that the reason for the deletion of the definitions
of "Efficiency Unit" and "Gross Residential Floor Area." was that
the change from unit type to unit size as a basis for
fractionalization made both definitions unnecessary.
Lengthy discussion followed.
Donaldson moved to recommend that the Town Council approve
Ordinance No. 85-9, Series of 1985, with Section "D" on page 2
amended tG read, "maximum unit size", and with notice to Council
that there was a difference of opinion within the Commission as to
the allowable maximum square footage in Section "D".
