BUSINESS ITEMS 5.1 Work Session: Complete draft of Sun Rd Redevelopment Plan (Community Development Director Matt Pielsticker and Town Manager Eric Heil) Chair Tony Emrick introduced the topic of the draft plan for the Sun Rd Redevelopment. Town Manager Eric Heil mentioned it is almost past the stage of a draft plan and getting close to a final version of the Sun Rd Redevelopment Plan. Town Manager Heil explained the plan is at the stage where staff seeks to receive feedback from Avon DDA Board Members and all other Town Boards and Committees so that it can be put in final form so that it can then be presented to the Town’s residents and property owners impacted. Town Manger Heil added that the plan will have an executive summary of 2-3 pages and then be followed by all pages of the complete and detailed plan. Community Development Director Matt Pielsticker mentioned that this draft plan was presented to Town Council approximately 2 months ago and staff received feedback to expand the plan that is now greater and more ambitious than before. [Board Member Rob Tartre left the virtual call at 3:52 p.m.] Town Manager Heil delivered his presentation of the plan included in the packet and highlighted that the biggest change occurred a month ago when Staff came to the collective realization that Avon Station is already at capacity and as the area grows, there is no way to make that space work for public transit. He added, noting that the Town now looks at Sun Rd. as a viable alternative for a Regional Transit Center. Board Member Marrott stated he thinks this plan creates a lot of opportunity and flexibility built into the document and it is well thought out and ready for consultants to be onboarded and further it. This statement received the support of Greg Cooper in person and others virtually. Town Staff received feedback from Avon DDA Board Members. As this was a work session, no motion was requested.
