The staging areas will support construction of the Edwards -Meadow Mountain Natural Gas Pipeline Project (the Project), a new 7.92 mile 16 -inch natural gas transmission pipeline and associated facilities located partially within the Town of Avon. The Project was the subject of 1041 Permit that was approved by the Avon Town Council on April 12, 2011. This application was reviewed and tabled by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the May 3, 2011 meeting in order for the published public hearing to take place. The staging areas will be used on a temporary basis during the construction of the Project, currently anticipated to begin on May 16, 2011 and ending on September 30, 2011. The staging areas will be utilized for temporary storage and stockpiling of construction materials, including: • A maximum of 3,000 feet of pipeline at any time, with deliveries of pipeline to be staged throughout the construction timeframe; • Up to four covered and closed portable metal containers (approximately 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall) to hold valves, fittings, and other miscellaneous pipeline materials; • Limited parking for employees; and • A trailer to serve as a temporary construction office. Improvements to the staging area will be limited to grading, with temporary buildings, fencing, and storage structures. After construction, all materials would be removed and the site will be restored to its prior condition. The operation of the staging area will be limited to the hours of construction stipulated in the 1041 Permit: 7am to 7pm Mon -Sat, and 9am to 6pm Sundays. Work will be suspended for several special events and three (3) four-day holiday weekends. Process The staging areas are located on Lot 1 of the Village (at Avon) PUD. The PUD requires temporary outdoor storage on Lot 1 to be reviewed by the Town as a Special Review Use. In addition, the staging area must receive design approval from the Traer Creek Metro District Design Review Board. Property Description The northern staging parcel, referred to as "TUA Parcel", is approximately eight (8) acres in size and is unimproved. This parcel will be enclosed with a temporary fence and will include a modular trailer/construction office, employee parking, laydown area for pipes, and storage of various pipeline parts in four (4) shipping containers. This parcel is bordered by a ditch to the north, Post Boulevard to the east, East Beaver Creek Boulevard to the south, and the recycling center to the west.

Xcel will adhere to the hours of operated requested by the Town of Avon in the 1041 permit approval. Traffic Generation. Increased or delayed traffic may occur in the vicinity of the staging areas when deliveries are made, equipment is picked up, and when employees are moving to and from the temporary construction office. A single point of access to each staging area is proposed off of East Beaver Creek Blvd. The increase in traffic is not expected to be significant and will be transitory in nature, occurring only when vehicles are arriving and departing from the stating areas. Xcel is preparing a ROW permit for the Town of Avon, which will address when and where traffic control is needed. Lighting_ Lighting will be limited to porch -style lights on the office trailers. No nuisance impact due to lighting is anticipated. Noise. Construction of the Project may cause short-term unavoidable noise impacts at the staging areas. Construction activity will conform to the noise provisions of the Avon Municipal Code §8.24.085, Limitation of Construction Activity. In addition, the Applicant has recommended the following mitigation measures to reduce the potential for temporary noise impacts: 1.PSCo has established a Project website and hotline and will implement a complaint resolution program whereby residents can contact PSCo direction with their noise concerns. 2. Noise construction activity at the staging areas, which causes off-site annoyance as evidenced by the filing of a legitimate noise complete, would be restricted to daytime hours unless nighttime construction is requested by CDOT, Eagle County or the Town of Avon. 3. All equipment will have sound control devices no less effective than those provided on the original equipment; and 4. All internal combustion engines will be fitted with appropriate muffler systems. Odors. Odors related to the staging areas will be short-term, transient, and limited to the construction period. These odors are expected to be adequately dispersed by diurnal winds. Dust. Vegetation clearing, grading, operation of vehicles, and restoration activities in the staging areas may produce fugitive dust or exhaust emissions during the construction phase of the Project Mitigation measures include: 1. Construction vehicles and equipment would be shut off when not in use to limit the amount of exhaust emissions. 2. Dust suppression would be conducted during construction. Water for dust suppression would be obtained from sources approved by Eagle County and/or the Town prior to construction. Hazardous Materials. Excavated material or other construction material will not be stock piled or deposited near or on stream banks or water courses where they could be washed away by high water or storm runoff.

The staging areas would support construction of the Edwards -Meadow Mountain Natural Gas Pipeline Project (Project), a new 7.92 -mile 16 -inch natural gas transmission pipeline and associated facilities located partially within the Town of Avon. The pipeline and associated facilities are the subject of an Areas and Activities of State Interest (AASI) Permit (also referred to as a 1041 permit) that was approved by the Town Council of Avon on April 12, 2011. This Special Review Use Permit application covers only the temporary staging areas near the intersection of Beaver Creek Road and Post Boulevard, shown in Attachment 1. The staging areas would be used on a temporary basis only during the construction time period, currently anticipated to be May 16 through October 31, 2011. The staging areas would be utilized for the following temporary uses: • Stockpiling of a maximum of 3,000 feet of pipeline at any time, with deliveries of pipeline to be staged throughout the construction timeframe • Up to six covered and closed portable metal containers (approximately 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall) to hold valves, fittings, and other miscellaneous pipeline materials • Limited parking for employees • Two metal trailers to serve as a temporary construction offices Improvements to the staging areas would be limited to grading and installation of a chain-link fence around the perimeter of both sites. Existing contours are shown in Attachment 2. A site plan is provided in Attachment 3. No permanent buildings, lighting, fencing, or other structures would be constructed. After the construction timeframe, all materials would be removed and the site would be restored to its prior condition per the Project's Revegetation and Weed Management Plan (Attachment 4). The landowner of Matt Pielsticker Exhibit B Town of Avon Page 2 of 24 the land to be used for the staging areas is Traer Creek, LLC. Negotiations for an agreement between Traer Creek and PSCO for temporary use of the land are in the final stages. This Special Review Use Permit application is submitted pursuant the Town of Avon's Development Code § 7.16.100, which requires a permit and hearing procedure to approve uses allowed by special review. Special review uses are assigned for each zone category within the Town of Avon. The staging areas are in the Village at Avon PUD zone, in portions of planning areas H, I, and J (The Village (at Avon) PUD Development Plan Formal Amendment Number One map). According to The Village (at Avon) PUD Guide (1998), and confirmed by Matt Pielsticker on April 12, 2011: • "Building materials sales and lumber yard" is considered a Special Review Use for Planning Area H. • "Building materials sales and lumber yard" is considered a Use by Right for Planning Area I. • "Building materials sales and storage" is considered a Special Review Use for Planning Area J. The following sections provide responses to mandatory review criteria for Special Review Uses listed in the Town of Avon Development Code § 7.16. 1 00(e). 1. The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and all applicable provisions of this Development Code and applicable state and federal regulations; PSCo is proposing to build the proposed Project to meet rapidly growing needs in the Avon/Eagle- Vail region. The proposed Project is a system upgrade that would supply the demands currently served by an existing 6-, 8-, and 12 -inch natural gas transmission pipeline located in Eagle County. The existing pipeline was installed in 1972, and is currently the primary gas supply pipeline serving the communities of Avon, Minturn, and Vail, including the Vail, Beaver Creek, and Bachelor's Gulch Ski Areas. This pipeline also provides supply to communities in Summit, Grand Lake, and Chaffee Counties. Between 1970 and 2010, the population of Eagle County has increased 615 percent from 7,498 to 53,653. The Edwards Micropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau experienced a 20 percent increase in population between 2000 and 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau 2010).This existing growth as well as expected continued growth throughout these communities has provided the need for additional capacity. By helping to ensure a continued and reliable supply of natural gas to the Town of Avon and surrounding communities, the overall Project supports the vision identified in the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan (Revised 2008): To provide a high quality of life, today and in the future, for a diversity of people and interests; and to promote their ability to live, work, visit, and recreation in the community. In the Comprehensive Plan, future use of the staging areas is identified as a mixture of Neighborhood Commercial, Regional Commercial, Residential High -Density, and Park. The definitions describing the intent of each land use designation are provided in the Comprehensive Plan: • Neighborhood Commercial—These areas are intended to provide neighborhood -focused retail and service uses (such as markets, childcare, restaurants, and cafes) that are conveniently located near and connected with surrounding residential neighborhoods. Matt Pielsticker Town of Avon Page 3 of 24 Exhibit B • Regional Commercial—The regional commercial areas are intended to serve both local and regional shoppers with a wide variety of commercial uses, including discount retailers, offices, supermarkets, and other similar uses. • Residential High Density—Areas designated for residential density are intended to provide sites for multifamily dwellings no less than 15 and no greater than 20 dwelling units per acre. • Parkland—Parks are intended to provide for the passive and active recreation needs of the community or region. Where possible, they should be located and designed to take advantage of natural features and amenities. Because the staging areas are currently vacant, would only be used temporarily, would be restored to prior condition after use, and it would not impact, deter, or preclude desired future uses of these areas, the proposed use is consistent with provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. PSCo has complied or is in the process of complying with all local, state, and federal regulations associated with the environmental review and permitting of the Project and all associated facilities, including the staging areas. PSCo would operate and decommission the temporary staging areas consistently with applicable state and federal regulations and the AASI permit granted by the Town of Avon. Table 2.2-1 in the AASI Permit application has been revised to update the status of approvals, grants, or permits necessary for the Project.

Matt Pielsticker Town of Avon Page 7 of 24 2. The proposed use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning district in which it is located and any applicable use -specific standards in the Development Code; Planning Areas H and I are zoned "Neighborhood Center." The purpose of the Neighborhood Center zone is "To provide sites for a variety of neighborhood oriented commercial, residential, educational, recreational and service oriented use" (Town of Avon 1998). Planning Area J is zoned "Regional Commercial." The purpose of the Regional Commercial zone is "to provide sites for a variety of regionally -oriented commercial, residential, lodging and service oriented uses and activities in order to serve the needs of residents and guests of the Upper Eagle River Valley. Although the staging areas are zoned Neighborhood Center and Regional Commercial, the lots are currently vacant with no development onsite. Use of this land as temporary staging areas during the construction timeframe would not impact, deter, or preclude future uses provided for in the Neighborhood Center and Regional Commercial zones. Use of the land as a temporary staging area, therefore, is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning district. 3. The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses in terms of scale, site design, and operating characteristics; Exhibit B Adjacent land uses include residential to the south/southwest, commercial to the east (Wal-Mart), and vacant land to the north/northwest. Hours of operation would be consistent with the overall hours of construction stipulated in the Town of Avon's AASI permit (pending receipt of final permit from CDOT) to avoid impacts to residential areas. Because use of the staging areas would be temporary with no permanent onsite development, the proposed use is compatible with adjacent land uses. 4. Any significant adverse impacts (including, but not limited to, hours of operation, traffic generation, lighting, noise, odor, dust, and other external impacts) anticipated to result from the use would be mitigated or offset to the maximum extent practicable; Hours of Operation: Final work hours are pending decisions by other permitting agencies. PSCo will adhere to the hours of operation requested by the Town of Avon in the AASI Permit conditions detailed in a letter from the Town of Avon dated April 15, 2011: • Construction and excavation activity shall be limited to between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays and national holidays, and between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on all other days, pursuant to the Avon Municipal Code, Section 8.24.085, Limitation of Construction Activity. Approved exceptions to these hours are: o Twenty -Four (24) hour boring activities are permitted at the Avon Road and Post Boulevard intersections with U.S. Highways 6 and 24. o The Town Manager may grant additional exception(s) to the above work hours. The grant of exception(s) may be conditioned upon compliance with the rules and conditions as specified by the Town Manager, or his or her designee, to minimize impacts of the construction activities. • Work on the Project will be suspended on the following dates to accommodate previously scheduled special events: o Sunday July 3, Salute to the USA Fireworks o Saturday July 8, and Sunday July 10, Triple Bypass Bicycle Tour o Saturday, July 16, XTERRA Triathlon Matt Pielsticker Town of Avon Page 8 of 24 o Saturday, July 23, Colorado River Ride (if any portion of work zone is operating west of Avon Road) o Saturday, August 8, Bec-TRI Triathlon Exhibit B o Thursday, August 25, and Friday, August 26, U.S. Pro Cycling Challenge o Four days for each three-day holiday weekend, including Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day Traffic Generation: Increased or delayed traffic may occur in the vicinity of the staging areas when deliveries are made, equipment is picked up, and when employees are moving to and from the temporary construction office. A single point of access to each staging area is proposed off of East Beaver Creek Boulevard. The increase in traffic is not expected to be significant and will be transitory in nature, occurring only when vehicles are arriving and departing from the staging areas. PSCo is preparing a ROW use permit for the Town of Avon Public Works Department for areas of the Project within the Town of Avon where traffic will need to be controlled. A Method of Handling Traffic (MHT) plan was submitted with the AASI Permit application. This plan will be revised for specific areas within the Town of Avon with input from the Public Works Department and CDOT. Lighting: Lighting will be limited to porch -style lights on the office trailers. These lights are not anticipated to be different from other residential and commercial lights in the immediate area, and no nuisance impacts due to lighting are anticipated. Noise: Noise is considered a public nuisance if the maximum permissible noise levels are exceeded at a distance of 25 feet or more from the property line where the sound is originating from. The daytime and nighttime maximum permissible noise levels are provided according to zone in Table 2.8-4 as provided in the AASI Permit application. The noise limits given in Table 2.8-4 may be exceeded by 10 decibels on the A -weighted scale (dBA) for a period of no greater than 15 minutes within a one-hour period between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Periodic, impulsive, or shrill noises are considered a public nuisance when at a sound level of 5 dBA less than the noise limits in Table 2.8-4. In addition, the statute states that construction projects would be subject to the maximum permissible noise levels specified for industrial zones for the duration of the construction period.

Construction of the proposed Project—and use of the staging areas—is anticipated to begin on May 16, 2011, with an in-service date of September 30, 2011. Major activities in the staging areas will include grading, installation of metal containers, delivery of materials, pick-up of materials for delivery Matt Pielsticker Town of Avon Page 9 of 24 to construction site, and operation of heavy trucks. Grading would occur within the staging areas for the pipe laydown areas, parts trailers, and office trailers. The remainder of the areas would not need to be graded. Excessive noise from the staging areas is expected to be transitory, occurring only during site construction and delivery/pick-up of construction materials. Other typical day-to-day activities such as employee parking would not cause significant noise. Estimated equipment types for each phase of construction are presented in Table 2.8-5 of the AASI Permit application, shown also below. The composite site noise level was evaluated at the edge of the 50 -foot ROW (edge of road on either side), considering all of the equipment operating simultaneously at maximum 100 percent load rating usage, to ensure a conservative screening level assessment. Equipment that could be expected to be used in the staging areas includes equipment listed in Phase 1 and pipe/material hauling trucks and crew trucks (Phase 2). Ta le Representative a i u LmaX onstruction oise Levels y onstruction Phase Conservatively assumes equipment a usage factor of 100 percent; i.e., all equipment operating concurrently at the maximum rated level. 2 The maximum sound level (Lmax) is used to quantify the maximum instantaneous sound pressure level generated by a source and is often used in establishing regulatory noise limits.

Exhibit B Matt Pielsticker Town of Avon Page 10 of 24 The construction of the proposed Project may cause short-term unavoidable noise impacts at the staging areas. The noise impacts at receptors from construction would depend on the type of equipment used, the mode of operation of the equipment, the length of time the equipment is in use, the amount of equipment used simultaneously, and the distance between the sound source and receptor. All of these factors are expected to vary regularly throughout the construction period, making the calculation of a specific received sound level value at receptor locations difficult. Construction activity would conform to noise provisions of Avon Municipal Code Section 8.24.085 (Limitation of Construction Activity). The following recommended mitigation measures would reduce the potential for temporary adverse noise impacts: • PSCo has established a Project website and hotline and will implement a complaint resolution program whereby residents can contact PSCo directly with their noise concerns. Throughout Project construction and operation, PSCo would document, investigate, and attempt to resolve legitimate Project -related noise complaints. • Noisy construction activity at the staging areas, which causes offsite annoyance as evidenced by the filing of a legitimate noise complaint, would be restricted to daytime hours (i.e., 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) unless construction during nighttime hours is requested by CDOT, Eagle County, or the Town of Avon. • All equipment would have sound -control devices no less effective than those provided on the original equipment. • All internal combustion engines would be fitted with appropriate muffler systems Odor: An odor is the property of a substance to stimulate chemical sense receptors that sample the air in and around a human or animal. Existing odors near the staging areas may include the odor of smoke from wood burning stoves or open burning, and exhaust from vehicles traveling along U.S. Highway 6. Odors due to use of the staging areas would be limited to the six-month construction period, and may include vehicle and equipment exhaust. These odor emissions are expected to be short-term and transient in nature, and would be adequately dispersed by diurnal winds. Dust: Impacts to air quality in the staging areas be short term, transient, and limited to the construction period of approximately six months. Vegetation clearing, grading, operation of vehicles, and restoration activities in the staging areas may produce fugitive dust or exhaust emissions during the construction phase of the Project. PSCo submitted an application for a General Construction Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and prepared a Fugitive Dust Plan and Air Pollution Emission Notice (APEN) on February 14, 2011. Because this is a general permit, the Project is considered covered once the application has been submitted to CDPHE. The Air Pollution Control Division will eventually issue a General Construction Permit. Exhibit B Matt Pielsticker Town of Avon Page 11 of 24 Mitigation measures to protect air quality include: • Construction vehicles and equipment would be shut off when not in use to limit the amount of exhaust emissions. • Dust suppression would be conducted during construction. Water for dust suppression would be obtained from municipal sources approved by Eagle County and/or the Town of Avon prior to construction. Hazardous Materials: Construction activities would be performed by methods that prevent entrance or accidental spillage of solid matter, contaminants, debris, and other pollutants and wastes into flowing streams or dry watercourses, lakes, and underground water sources. Construction staging areas are located and arranged in a manner to preserve trees and vegetation. Excavated material or other construction materials would not be stockpiled or deposited near or on stream banks or other watercourse perimeters where they could be washed away by high water or storm runoff or could encroach upon stream banks. No vehicle maintenance or fueling of vehicles would be conducted in the staging areas. No hazardous materials would be stored on site. Upon completion of the construction, construction materials and debris would be removed from the site. Work areas would be re -graded, as required, so that surfaces would drain naturally, blend with the natural terrain, and be left in a condition that would facilitate natural revegetation. Disturbed areas where vegetation was removed by construction activities to an extent that it caused potential soil erosion would be treated with seedbed preparation techniques, re -seeded with an approved seed mixture, and mulched, if necessary, during the planting season per the Project's Revegetation and Weed Management Plan (Attachment 4). The Project Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) (Attachment 5) further specifies the specific BMPs that would be employed to protect water resources from potential releases of hazardous materials or other contamination. No hazardous materials or fueling of vehicles would occur in the staging areas. Water Quality: Earth -disturbing activities at the staging areas will generally include grading and stockpiling. Sediment control and stockpile containment BMPs for these activities includes usage of erosion/sediment control logs, silt fence, sweeping, temporary berms, vehicle tracking control, inlet and culvert protection. Erosion Control BMPs may include surface roughening, mulch/mulch tackifier application, erosion control blankets, seeding and mulching, temporary slope drains and a vegetative buffer zone. Administrative controls would include phased construction to reduce the amount of open area at any given time and limiting the number of stockpiles. The movement of vehicles from disturbed areas to paved streets during all phases of construction activities can disturb area soils and contribute to sedimentation and erosion. Sediment control BMPs for these activities may include stabilized construction entrances (rock, geotextiles, or mud mats), street sweeping, and inlet and culvert protection. Exhibit B Matt Pielsticker Town of Avon Page 12 of 24 Potential water quality impacts to surface and ground water would be avoided through the use of stormwater protection BMPs listed in Table 2.13-2. PSCo would adhere to the Colorado construction stormwater permit and stormwater management plan requirements for this Project. The SWMP includes specific mitigation measures and BMPs that would be followed to protect surface water quality and to prevent erosion and is attached as Attachment 5. The CDPS General Permit allows the following non-stormwater discharges in combination with stormwater discharges associated with construction sites, provided that the non-stormwater component of the discharge is identified in the SWMP: • Discharges from fire -fighting activities • Natural springs • Landscape irrigation return flow • Discharges to the ground of concrete washout water from washing of tools and concrete mixer chutes are allowed under this SWMP, provided that the washout water is confined in a concrete washout area and does not leave the site as surface runoff or to surface waters and does not enter groundwater • Certain construction dewatering discharges The CDPHE Water Quality Control Division's General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities allows for dewatering of groundwater and stormwater to the ground surface to allow for infiltration on the site. No groundwater from construction dewatering would be discharged as surface runoff or to surface waters on the site. It is not anticipated that dewatering activities would be required during this Project. 5. Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas, electricity, police and fire protection, and roads and transportation, as applicable) would be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service for existing development; and The temporary staging areas would not require sewage, waste disposal, water, gas, or electric service, nor would it burden police and fire protection services. 6. Adequate assurances of continuing maintenance have been provided. Exhibit B After the use of the land as a staging area, no maintenance would be required at the site except for revegetation. PSCo would monitor the staging areas, along with other areas of the proposed Project where vegetation would be disturbed, for revegetation and to manage for noxious weeds according to the Revegetation and Weed Management Plan developed for the Project (included as Appendix F in the AASI Permit application).

After reviewing the plans and providing comments, Council directed the staff to work with the Planning and Zoning Commission to refine the Improvements Plan for final approval by the Council. Given the number of new members on the PZC, this meeting will focus on a review and discussion of the West Town Center District Plan and the approved design plans for the Mall. A site visit is also planned. In the meantime, Staff is refining the improvements plan in response to Council comments, and will present the revised plans for PZC review on June 7, 2011. Attachments: 1. Council Memorandum and Exhibits dated May 10, 2011 2. Summary of Council Comments from the May 10`h meeting. -' MEMORANDUM To Honorable Mayor and Town Council Fr Sally Vecchio, Ass't Town Mgr/Community Development Thru Larry Brooks, Town Manager Date May 10, 2011 RE Work Session to Consider an Improvements Plan forthe Avon Pedestrian Mall Summary Earlier this year the Town Manager directed Community Development, Public Works and Recreation staff to prepare an Improvements Plan for a portion of the Avon Pedestrian Mall that could be executed over the next 2 years with a budget of $400,000. Background In 2007, the Town Council adopted the West Town Center District Plan (the Plan), which includes specific plans for both public and private improvements along the Avon Mall. At final completion, the Mall will be converted to a one lane one-way street with on -street parallel parking and sidewalks. Pursuant to the Plan, the Town has re -aligned Lake Street and constructed the Avon Transit Center and Lettuce Shed Lane. Proposed Improvements Plan forthe Avon Mall �t The Avon Mall is a pedestrian plaza that runs between Avon Road and Lake Street. The area is improved with a 10 ft wide walkway, a mix of large trees and ground cover, and Avon Standard light poles (concrete pole with shoebox fixture). The old transit building at the East Gateway entrance has been shuttered but not demolished. Lettuce Shed Lane provides a pedestrian link to the new Transit Center on Benchmark Rd and the Westin development across the railroad ROW. The pedestrian walkway is surfaced with asphalt and concrete, many of the trees and ground cover are overgrown and diseased. The overgrown trees and landscaping obstruct the visibility of the East Gateway Entrance to the Mall from Avon Rd and the retail shops along the Mall. The lack of street furnishings and way finding signs discourage opportunities for pedestrian interaction and movement. Given the existing conditions of the Mall, the proposed Improvements Plan is intended to: 1) Improve the visibility of the retail spaces along the Mall 2) Improve the visibility of Eastern Gateway to the Mall 3) Create areas that can be activated with vendor carts and entertainment during Special Events 4) Create a pedestrian -oriented gathering area that can be used during the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championship hosted at the Beaver Creek Ski Resort. Exhibit A — Plan of Proposed Improvements illustrates the various improvements that the Town could execute over the next two years within the required budget. The improvements are generally consistent with the West Town Center District Plan and include site improvements such as landscaping, re -paving and electric work, as well as installation of fixtures such seating, lighting and signage (the Improvements). 1 Avon Pedestrian Mall Cost Estimates for Proposed Improvments Site Improvements $2,500.00 6 $ 15,000.00 Bus Shelter Demo * $5,000.00 1 $ 5,000.00 Bus Shelter Electrical Relocation * $5,000.00 1 $ 5,000.00 Tree Removal * $10,000.00 1 $ 10,000.00 Grading $15,000.00 1 $ 15,000.00 Asphalt $25,000.00 1 $ 25,000.00 Concrete $35,000.00 1 $ 35,000.00 Avon Center Steps $10,000.00 1 $ 10,000.00 Landscaping & Irrigation $25,000.00 1 $ 25,000.00 Pedestrian Lighting and Electrical $10,000.00 12 $ 130,000.00 Furnishings Benches $2,500.00 6 $ 15,000.00 Trash Cans $1,500.00 6 $ 9,000.00 Wayfinding Sign $10,000.00 2 $ 20,000.00 Directory Sign $15,000.00 1 $ 15,000.00 Monument Sign $8,000 1 $ 8,000.00 Pedestrian Lighting and Electrical $10,000.00 12 $ 120,000.00 $ 187,000.00 Interactive Play Feature $50,000.00 1 $ 50,000.00 ow X .. i---)?` EMOVE TREES \1 XX O X T TRANSFER TREES �-� NEW PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS O BENCHMARK RD y� 2011-2012 Mall Improvements NEWSTEPS .f PTlvale PloPeNy Apron( ReNWIeC &Ob'S PLALE PATIO TICINO'S PANG "MALL"ENTRANCE NEW ELEC / SERVICE---]�N , r NEW ASPHALT ENTRY PROPOSED 71, BUILDING ENTRANCE CHINAGARDEN PATIO NEW SOD 4�.
