Re: Cost of Community Services Study Discussion
Summary
In early 2003, the Community Development Department commissioned former employee
Eric Johnson to conduct a Cost of Community Services study (COCS) as part of his Master
in Public Administration advanced project requirement.
The COCS study is a basic tool utilized by a number of jurisdictions over the last ten years
that reviews the revenues and expenditures of a municipality. The study allocates those
funds to the respective land uses that either create the revenues or benefit from the
provision of public services. The final product of the study is a ratio for each type of land
use in the community that juxtaposes the revenues generated against the cost of providing
public services for each different type of land use. In very basic terms, the study identifies
the fiscal efficiency (cost) of public service delivery per land use type.
Community Development staff, Finance, and Engineering worked with the author to craft
some of the basic assumptions at the outset.
While only a one-year `snapshot', the results of the study indicate that the Town spends
more in providing public services than it is generating in revenue for residential areas.
While this is not an atypical result of any COCS study, it does reinforce several basic
planning principles and results in several recommendations which will be further explored
during the Comprehensive Plan update.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This study analyzes the fiscal impact of providing public services in the Town of Avon
utilizing a tool called Cost of Community Service (COCS) study. The COCS study in
this report uses the widely accepted methodology created by the American Farmland
Trust (AFT). In broad terms, a COCS analysis reviews the revenues and expenditures of
a municipality and allocates those funds to the respective land uses that create the
revenues or benefit from the provision of public services. The final product of the study
is a ratio for each land use in the community that expresses for every dollar in revenue
generated the cost of providing services.
COCS studies are a subset of the larger field of fiscal analysis. The data generated by
this study provide a look into one single year of the finances of a municipality. The
results are not meant to predict the future costs of a development. They are intended to
provide decision-makers and citizens with information that can improve the
understanding of the public service costs of different types of land uses. This COCS
study was based on data from the Town of Avon Proposed Annual Budget 2003, using
the final revised 2002 data.
The public services provided by Avon include: General Administration, Community
Development, Engineering, Finance, Police, Public Works, Recreation, and
Transportation. This study does not review the provision of fire and emergency medical
services, school and library services, regional transportation, and any other services from
special districts that are wholly contained within the town's boundaries. Nor does this
study review impacts other than financial such as social, political and non-market values.
As a result of Avon's location in the Eagle River Valley, the economic role of the town,
and the significant growth that has occurred in the resort towns throughout the 1990's,
h
l
i
t
ere are on
y two pr
mary land uses in the town, residential and commercial. The COCS
study does not include tax exempt properties such as local, state, federal, and utility-
owned properties. Table 1 shows that residential properties account for approximately 83
percent of the taxable parcels in Avon compared to commercial properties at 17 percent.
The assessed valuation of the residential properties equals approximately 60 percent of
the total while commercial properties account for 40 percent.

The COCS study identified the following significant points:
• Residential properties accounted for 45.4 percent of the revenue generated and
commercial properties accounted for 54.6 percent.
• Residential properties received 63.9 percent of the expenditures and commercial
properties received 36.1 percent of the expenditures in public services provided
by the town.

• In total, Avon is spending $1.19 in services to the public for every $1.00
collected.
• Residential properties are receiving $1.68 in public services for every $1.00 of
revenue generated, creating a shortfall of funds from these land uses.
• Commercial properties are receiving $0.79 in public services for every $1.00 of
revenue generated, creating a surplus of funds from these land uses.

In summary, the Town of Avon is spending more in providing public services than it is
generating in revenue. Residential land uses are generating a net fiscal deficit for the
town by creating significantly less revenue than is being expended. Commercial land
uses are creating a fiscal surplus for the town by requiring less in services than is
generated in revenue. Even though the commercial land uses are carrying the burden of
residential uses, the revenues are not adequate to cover the total operating expenses. As a
result of this situation the town operated in 2002 with a large deficit. A final issue that
must be considered is the tax incidence of sales tax revenues due to the conunercial
properties serving not only locals but also tourists and regional residents.
The data provided by the COCS study lead to several questions that need to be addressed
by Avon in order to reduce and/or eliminate the fiscal shortfall that existed in 2002. Is
the Town of Avon providing the desired level of public services, and if not, how should
they be modified? Are the current methods of land development able to sustain a desired
level or public services? Is there a way to make new land development fiscally
responsible for the level of public services that are demanded?
Overall, there were three findings that were identified by the study as well as three
recommendations for the town:
Finding 1: Avon is spending more on public service provision than it is collecting
in revenues. COCS Ratios: Residential 1:1.68, Commercial 1:0.79, and Total
Avon 1:1.19.
Recommendation 1: The Town of Avon needs to identify a unified vision for the
funding and provision of public services to guide the growth of the entire town.
Finding 2: Commercial land uses (1: 0.79) are subsidizing a portion of the public
services that are provided to residential land uses (1:1.68).
Recommendation 2 (part A): New land developments and redevelopments should
incorporate a mix of both residential and commercial uses on the same property.
- w-
Recommendation 2 (part B): The Town of Avon needs to revise the Zoning Code
and Comprehensive Plan to provide improved land use controls in order to
support and achieve the desired vision of the community and its leaders.
Finding 3: The use of the default percentage was considered necessary for most of
the revenue and expenditure allocations in steps 3 and 4 of the COCS study. The
primary reason for this was that there was a lack of information to directly relate
revenues and expenditures to specific land uses.
Recommendation 3: Avon should create a centralized and uniform information
system and database.
Ultimately, the product of this analysis is to improve the understanding of land use and
public service costs in relation to economic perspectives. This information will improve
the future discussion and decision-making processes associated with the growth and
redevelopment of the Town of Avon.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to determine the current fiscal impact of providing public
services in the Town of Avon. This study will provide a glimpse into how different land
uses in Avon affect town finances. To begin, there needs to be an understanding of the
background of Avon.
BRIEF HISTORY OF AVON
The Town of Avon is a mountain community located in central Eagle County along; the
Eagle River. In 1972, a large portion of the town (previously the Nottingham Ranch) was
purchased by the Benchmark Company for real estate development. Avon was
incorporated as a home rule town on February 24, 1978.
The town quickly increased its land size in July of 1979 with the annexation of the
Wildridge Subdivision, which is a residential community on the northwest side of Avon.
The next large addition to Avon occurred in May of 1993 with the annexation of the
Mountain Star Subdivision, which is an exclusive low density residential community.
Most recently, in November of 1998, Avon annexed the Village (at Avon) (previously the
local airport) into its boundary which increased the land area of the town by a thirds.
The population of Avon has followed a dramatic trend since its incorporation in 1978. In
1980, the population was approximately 650 people. By 1990 the population of Avon had
more than doubled in size to approximately 1,500 people. The population increase=d rnore
than three-fold according to the 2000 Census to 5,561 people (Census 2000).
ECONOMIC AND PUBLIC SERVICE TRENDS
The economy of Avon was extremely healthy during the 1990s. The effects of
September 11, 2001 and the recent wars on terrorism and in Iraq have taken their troll on
the local economy in recent years. Total tax revenue collected by Avon decreased' by
over 7 percent from 2001 to 2002. Sales tax revenue decreased by over 5 percent (over
the same time period. The 2003 budget projects another decrease of tax revenue by 7
percent (Wright, 2002).
Even with the economy slowing down, the value of property in the Town of Avon has
continued to increase. From 1990 to 1995, the assessed valuation of all properties in
Avon increased by 32 percent. The valuation of property in Avon increased by 1416
percent from 1995 to 2000. The high growth trend of property values in the town slowed
to 17 percent from 2001 to 2002 (Wrright, 2002).
Pressure for development is continuing in Avon due to the adjacent communities ('Vail,
Beaver Creek, and Eagle-Vail) reaching their maximum build out. The lower pric=es and
central location of Avon make the community a highly desirable place to build. Thhis
trend should only continue with the upcoming completion of the regional commerccial
properties (Super Wal-Mart and Home Depot) and the vacant properties for
approximately 2,400 new dwelling units in the Village (at Avon) subdivision.
The issues of affordable housing, environmental impacts, and public transportation have
continued to grow over the last 20 years. As the property valuations climb so does the
price of housing; as a result the amount of affordable residences for both seasonal and
year-round residents decreases. This point is emphasized by the Avon Comprehensive
Plan which states:
"As the community grows, demand for housing of all types is increasing.
While there is an ample supply of housing for second home owners and upper
income residents, there is a shortage of housing for lower and middle income
seasonal and year-round residents and their families."(26-27)
The increasing demand for middle and low income positions throughout the valley have
increased the demands for many other public services other than employee housing. The
demand for public transportation has continued to increase for not only residents but
businesses, as well. As the population has grown from one of seasonal and second home
owners to year-round residents, the demands on parks and recreation service have also
increased.
LAND USE TRENDS
The development trend of Avon has been guided by two major forces, land use
regulations and the geography of the valley- The land use regulations for Avon were
created by the Benchmark Corporation when the project received Planned Unit
Development (PUD) approval from Eagle County in 1974. Each lot in the subdivision
was given specific development rights. These development rights did not change until
the adoption of the 1990 Zoning Code revision. The revised development rights for the
core of Avon have remained substantially the sarne since that time.
The general development trends for the town include several distinct areas of Avon. The
town core between Interstate 70 and the Eagle River consists of the commercial heart of
the town and mixed use and residential development. The valley floor north of the
interstate is primarily high density residential and commercial/industrial properties. The
Wildridge Subdivision (northwest of I-70) is a mix of medium and low density housing.
The Mountain Star Subdivision (east of the Wildridge Subdivision) is extremely low
density and exclusive residential properties. The Eaglebend Subdivision, on the
southeast side of town, is a mix of high, medium, and low density housing.
Development in the 1980s occurred primarily on the valley floor and was a mix of
residential and commercial properties. As the financial boom of the 1990s came, so did
increased residential development on the mountain side subdivisions of Wildridge and
Mountain Star. By 2002, Avon's historical development boundaries were beginning to
fill in. The future development of the town is now squarely focused on existing property
redevelopment and the new Village (at Avon) Subdivision on the east side of town.
OVERVIEW OF THE COCS STUDY
In a municipality such as Avon, with a substantial amount of growth yet to occur, the
fiscal impacts of growth on the town are not clear. One way to better understand future
impacts is to understand the demand placed on local government. This can be done by
?' performing a fiscal impact analysis. Fiscal impact analysis, or "cost-revenue" analysis, is
-2-
used to estimate costs and revenues that result from different land uses which are then
utilized to predict the costs associated with a new development.
The American Farmland Trust (AFT) created a fiscal analysis methodology that
determines a relationship between land uses and the relative revenues and expenditures of
a community. The model established by AFT, called Cost of Community Services
(COCS) study, analyzes the information for a specific year in order to provide a "snap
shot" of the costs versus the revenues for a community's land uses (AFT, 2002). The
COCS study utilizes five primary steps (Kelsey, 1998):
1. Define the land use categories and the scope of the project.
2. Collect data on revenues, expenditures, and properties from the local municipality
and County assessor's office.
3. Allocate revenues to predetermined land uses.
4. Allocate expenditures to predetermined land uses.
5. Calculate the COCS ratio from the data in steps three and four and then analyze
the results.
The product of the COCS study is a ratio of revenues and costs that is expressed so that
for every dollar of revenue collected for a land use there is a dollar expenditure of
services provided for that same land use. The results of this study provide decision-
makers with another tool by which to measure fiscal impacts of growth. This tool can
assist community leaders with decision-making skills that are needed to achieve fiscal
prosperity in their community.
This study has four sections. The first section provides a brief methodology. The second
section provides the findings for the Town of Avon. The third section provides a
discussion and recommendations. The fourth section contains the appendices of the
study.

METHODOLOGY
COCS studies supply communities with a straightforward and inexpensive way to study
the fiscal impact of different land uses in an area. The methodology used for this study
was developed in the mid-1980s by AFT. Since that time, this tool has been used by over
?• 95 communities throughout the United States (AFT, 2002).
There are some points that should be understood about the capabilities and the limitations
of this tool. The COCS study only reviews the data for one single year. Therefore, the
ratios provided by the study should not be utilized as predictors into the future; they
provide a snap shot of the cost of providing services. This study only reviews the
services provided by the municipality. As with many other jurisdictions throughout
Colorado, many of the services provided to the community do not fall into the Town of
Avon's budget or sphere of influence.
This study does not review the provision of fire (Eagle River Fire Protection District) and
emergency medical services (Eagle County Ambulance District), school (Eagle County
School District and library services (Eagle Valley Library District), regional
transportation (Eagle County Regional Transportation), or any other services from special
districts (Eagle River Water and Sewer). Nor does this study account for particular types
of economic activity (retail or office) or non-market goods (quality of life values or
environmental concerns).
DEFINING LAND USE CATEGORIES
The first step in the COCS study is to define how the different land uses in Avon should
be categorized. Land use refers to what type of human activities are (or are not) taking
place on a parcel of land. The State of Colorado classifies land into seven categories for
property tax reasons: residential, vacant, agricultural, commercial, industrial, natural
resources, and state-assessed property.
For the purposes of this study, data on all the properties in Avon were collected from the
Eagle County Assessors Office. This study does not include exempt properties such as
utility companies, local, state, federal, or political properties. The two major land uses in
Avon are residential and commercial.
Residential Land Use: Any property used for dwellings which includes: houses,
mobile homes, multi-family, and condos. All forms of residential properties as
defined by the Eagle County Assessor's office.
' Commercial Land Use: Property actively used for commerce other than
' agriculture and forestry. This group includes office, merchandise, lodging, and
warehousing. All forms of commercial properties as defined by the Eagle County
Assessor's office.
Appendix B includes the abstract data and classifications from the Eagle County
Assessor's Office.

DATA COLLECTION
The second step in the COCS study is to collect detailed revenue and expenditure
information from the Town of Avon as well as collect property assessment data from the
assessor's office. The primary sources of information consist of-
0 Eagle County Abstract of Assessment by Authority for the Town of Avon, 2003.
• Town of Avon Proposed Annual Budget, 2002.
• Interviews with department heads and staff.
ALLOCATE REVENUES TO LAND USE
The third step in the COCS study is to allocate how much revenue both of these land uses
generate. The Town of Avon receives revenue from numerous sources: taxes (general
property and sales taxes), licenses and permits (liquor licenses and building permits),
intergovernmental grants, state and county shared funds (highway users tax and county
sales tax), charges for services (design review fees and police contract services),
recreation facility, and many other sources.
In certain instances, the allocation of revenue to a land use is relatively straight-forward.
An example of this is revenue generated from the Avon Recreation Center which comes
from residential users. This revenue can be clearly traced to the users of the facility
which are residents and guests who are residing on residential properties. Another
example is sales tax which is generated from commercial properties.
In other cases, it is very difficult to allocate where the revenue originates. An example of
this is the Utility Tax paid by both residential and commercial properties. When this
situation occurs the COCS study calls for the use of the default percentage. This
percentage represents the portion of a particular land uses' assessed value which is
calculated in Table 3 (see Appendix B for complete analysis). Another example of this
would be the allocation of revenue generated from police reports or photo copying
charges due to the lack of information to attribute the income to specific land uses.
ALLOCATE ExPENDITURES TO LAND USE
The fourth step in the COCS study is to allocate the amount of money spent on providing
services to the respective land uses. The completion of this step is similar to how the
revenues were allocated to sources, but in this case one looks at where the money is
spent. For organizational and simplicity purposes this study allocated expenditures in a
format that is similar to the Town of Avon budget categories such as finance, public
works, and the capital projects fund.
1
As with revenue allocation, in certain instances the allocation of expenditures in Avon is
straight-forward. An example of this is the allocating of recreation spending to
residential land use. Residential properties (residents and guests of Avon) utilize the
recreation facilities and services whereas commercial properties do not consume those
same services. The expenditures for the Wildridge Special Improvement District (SID)
Fund go directly towards residential uses because there are no developed commercial
properties in Wildridge.
-5-
1
Many expenditures in the Avon budget are more difficult to allocate to one use or
another. Finance department spending provides an excellent example of the difficulty of
assigning indirect costs. The operations of the finance department do not directly benefit
one land use over another. There may be certain tasks that are related to a specific land
use, however, overall, one type of land use does not benefit more or less from the work
done in this department. As a result, the COCS guidelines state that the default
percentages (Table 3) are to be used to allocate the expenditures.
CALCULATE THE COCS RATIO
The final step in the COCS study is to calculate the revenue/cost ratios. The ratios are
calculated by dividing the total revenues by the total expenditures for each land use. The
product of this calculation is a ratio that identifies how much money is spent for each
dollar that is collected for each land use. In this case, there are only two categories:
residential and commercial.
There are three basic ratios that may be seen. One is a land use that is producing a fiscal
deficit (e.g. $1:$1.50) resulting in demanding more expenditures than revenue it creates.
The opposite ratio would be a land use that is producing a fiscal surplus (e.g. $1:$0.50)
resulting in creating more revenue than is expended on services. The last would be a
situation of fiscal equilibrium ($1:$1) where the revenues generated match the
expenditures.
Many municipalities in Colorado are legally bound to meet the requirements of a fiscal
equilibrium. With regard to an individual municipality, there may be policy decisions
that result in fiscal deficits or surpluses. The policies that control the resulting fiscal
situation are encompassed by determining what level of public services will be provided
and how those services are funded. A municipality that can effectively maintain a fiscal
equilibrium provides an optimal level of services while generating sufficient funds for
those services.

# FINDINGS FOR THE TOWN OF AVON
LAND USE
The data from the Eagle County Assessor's Office identified two major land use
categories in Avon, residential and commercial. The Town of Avon Zoning Map
identifies many different land use types, however many of those are identified as different
uses by the assessor for property tax reasons- As a result, the Metcalf Road and West
Nottingham Road properties that are identified as IC-Industrial Commercial are for tax
purposes labeled as commercial property. Many of the areas of town that are PUD
(Planned Unit Development) are constructed as either residential or commercial uses
which are identified as such by the County assessors office.
Appendix F contains a map of the Town of Avon that identifies the primary land use
categories. The map shows the following districts: residential properties, commercial
properties, undeveloped properties, government/public properties, and public lands and
Right-of-Ways.
The data from the assessors office identified a third land use category (agricultural) for
taxable property in the town however this land use type was omitted from the study due
to the extremely small fraction of land it represents. Agricultural land equals .007 % of
the town (Eagle County Assessor, 2003).
Listed in Table 3 are the results of the analyses of the taxable properties in Avon.
?. Residential properties total 5,072 parcels in town which equals 59.6 percent of the
average tax base. Commercial properties total 1,029 parcels in town which equals 40.4
percent of the average tax base. These percentages are used as the default percentages for
the allocation of revenues and expenditures that cannot be dedicated specifically to one
land use or another.

REVENUE ALLOCATION
The Town of Avon collects revenue from many different sources. These revenues are
generated in several funds including: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt
Services Funds, Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds.
These funds collect revenue in several forms as shown in Table 4 and Figure 2.

The methodology of the COCS study requires that each source of revenue is distributed
to a land use type according to either the default percentage or the land use from which
the funds are collected. The total revenue for each line item is rmultiplied by the
percentage of the respective land use that generates the funds. The fund specific analysis
of the revenues for the Town of Avon is located in Appendix C.. The following are key
points regarding the revenues for Avon.
• Taxes account for approximately 54 percent of the revenues. Taxes in Avon are
collected in the following forms: General Property Tax, general Property Tax
Interest, Specific Ownership Tax, Sales Tax, Utility Tax, Penalties and Interest,
and Franchise Fees.
o Sales tax accounts for approximately 72 percent of tax revenues.
o General Property tax accounts for approximately 20 percent of tax revenues.
• Charges for services account for approximately 26 percent of total revenues.
• Building Permits account for more than 77 percent of licenses and permit
revenue.
ell

b
• New construction permit plan check and subdivision review fees makeup about
78 percent of the revenues from general governmental charges for services.
• Admission fees for the Avon Recreation Center account for approximately 77
percent of the recreation charges for services.
All of the percentages used for the COCS were determined through research and
discussions with town staff. Most of the line items required the default percentage due to
a lack of data available that would attribute the revenue to a specific land use source. In
other cases there was information that allowed a more specific distribution of revenues.
The following points identify how the revenues were distributes by percentage.
• Taxes:
o All Sales tax was distributed to commercial land uses.
o The remainders of the tax revenues were allocated using the default
percentage due to a lack of information to alter the distribution between land
uses.
• Licenses and Permits:
o Liquor, business, and contractor licenses were allocated to commercial land
uses.
o Pen-nit fees for building, plumbing and mechanical permits were assigned by
the percentage of total valuation of permits issued to the respective land uses.
An example of this is that 58.2 percent of the building permit fees came
directly from residential land uses and was allocated as such.
o The remainders of the license and permit revenues were allocated using the
default percentage due to a lack of information to alter the distribution
between land uses.
• Intergovernmental:
c The cigarette and county sales tax revenues were allocated to commercial land
uses.
o The remainders of the inlergovenimental revenues were allocated using the
default percentage due to a lack of information to alter the distribution
between land uses.
• Charges for Services:
o Charges for plan checks., subdivisions, and design reviews were allocated
using the same percentages as identified by the valuation of permits issued by
land use.
o Animal Control Fees,,veTe allocated to residential land use.
o Sherwood Meadows Maintenance charges were collected as a result of
residential use and were allocated as such.
-9-
o Recreation fees were all allocated to residential land uses with the exception
of sponsorships and advertisements which were distributed to commercial
land uses.
o The remainders of the charges for services revenues were allocated using the
default percentage due to a lack of information to alter the distribution
between land uses.
• Fines and Forfeitures, Special Assessments, Investment Earnings, Other Revenue:
o Recreational Amenity Fees were allocated to residential land use as a result of
the revenue being generated by residential uses.
o The remainders of the revenues were allocated using the default percentage
due to a lack of information to alter the distribution between land uses.
• Funds other than General Government:
o Mall Maintenance revenues were collected from commercial properties and
allocated as such.
o Employee Housing, Sherwood Meadows Enterprise Fund, and Wildridge SID
(Special Improvement District) funds were allocated to residential land uses.
o The remainders of the revenues were allocated using the default percentage
due to a lack of information to alter the distribution between land uses.
Transfers of revenue between funds were not included in the COCS study. The original
fund that generated the revenue is included in the study; therefore the inclusion of
transfers constitutes a double-counting of the revenue.
Table 5 and Figure 3 identify which land uses the revenues for the Town of Avon
generally originate from. The primary revenue-generating land use in Avon is
commercial property at 55 percent. Residential properties generate 45 percent of the
revenue for the town.

A final key point when reviewing the revenue results is the tax incidence of the revenue
generated by the commercial properties in Avon. In broad terms, tax incidence describes
who pays the taxes in a population. In 2002, taxes accounted for approximately 54
percent of the revenue generated by Avon and sales tax equaled 72 percent of those
funds. In a community such as Avon, where the commercial properties serve not only
locals but also tourists and regional residents, a large portion of the revenue generated by
sales tax originates not from the municipalities residents but from guests.
This is important when interpreting the results of the COCS study. The effect of Avon
being a resort community is that guests (tourists and regional residents) to the town
contribute a substantive amount of revenue to the community. Therefore, the fact that
this portion of the revenue is highly dependant on the economy is a large variable for the
finances of the town.
This is significant to Avon for the reason that potentially a quarter of the revenue for the
town is generated by non-locals which is then used to fund local service provision. As a
result, in times of economic recession Avon will be fiscally challenged to sustain public
service provision levels due to the large dependence on sales tax revenue. This also
significant so that it is not implied that commercial property owners bear the primary
burden of generating revenue for residential services. The majority of the commercial
revenue is created by locals and non-locals purchasing goods and services.
EXPENDITURE ALLOCATION
There are many services that are provided by Avon however it is important to remember
that there are many that are provided solely by special districts such as fire services
through Eagle River Fire Protection District and sanitation through Eagle River Water &
Sanitation District. The expenditures for Avon are grouped in many cateeories including:
General Government, Housing and Finance. Community Development, Police, Public
Works, Engineering and Utilities.. Transportation and Fleet Maintenance, Recreation and
Culture, Debt Service, Capital Improvements, and Equipment Replacement. Table 6 and
Figure 4 identify the overall expenditures of Avon.

COCS methodology assigns expenditures to each land use category by going though the
budget by line item. The fund-specific detail of expenditures is located in Appendix D.
The following is a summary of the expenditures for each general fund. As the majority
of municipal activities benefit all land uses in the community, most expenditures were
allocated using the default percentages.
• General Government, Housing and Finance:
o Sherwood Meadows and Employee Housing expenditures were allocated
completely as residential land uses.
• Community Development:
o Planning and Building expenditures were allocated using the same
percentages as identified by the valuation of pen-nits issued by land use.
-12-
• Police:
o Neighborhood Service expenditures were allocated solely to residential land
uses.
• Public Works, Engineering and Utilities:
o Parks expenditures were allocated to residential land uses as commercial
properties do not directly utilize properties.
o Mall Maintenance provides direct benefits to the commercial properties along
the mall and was allocated as such.
• Recreation and Culture:
o Expenditures for recreation were completely allocated to the benefit of
residents and guests of the community and were fial.ly distributed in residential
land uses.
• Debt Service:
o The debt service for the Wildridge SID was completely allocated to residential
land uses.
• Capital Improvements and Equipment Replacement:
o As specified by the Capital Improvement Budget, portions of facilities
expenditure were directly allocated to residential.
o Specific streetscape improvements were allocated to commercial land uses.
o Developer rebates were allocated to residential land uses as a result of these
costs originating from residential property sales.
o Expenditures for recreation equipment replacement were allocated to
residential.
Transfers of funds out between funds have not been included in the COCS study. The
inclusion of transfers would constitute a double-counting of the expenditures.
Table 7 and Figure 5 identify to which land uses the expenditures in the Town of Avon
are generally applied. The primary beneficiaries of expenditures in Avon are residential
properties at 64 percent. Commercial properties receive 36 percent of the expenditures
by the town.

CALCULATION OF THE COOS RATIO
The final mathematical step in the study is to compute the actual COCS ratios for the
Town of Avon. The ratios are calculated by dividing the total revenues by the total
expenditures for each land use. The results show that the town spends $0.68 more on
residential properties than it collects. Avon spends $0.79 on providing public services to
commercial properties for every dollar collected. Overall, Avon operated at a deficit in
2002, spending on average spending $1.19 in service provision for every dollar collected
in revenue. Table 8 presents the total revenues and expenditures of Avon and identifies
the COCS ratio for each land use.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
STUDY OVERVIEW
The COCS study identifies a significant difference between the ratios for residential and
commercial land uses. The ratios show that residential land uses provide a net drain on
Avon, demanding a $1.68 in services for every $1 collected. In contrast, commercial
land uses provide a fiscal benefit to Avon, demanding only $0.79 in services for every $1
collected. The COCS ratio for total revenues and expenditures shows that the town is
spending $1.19 in public services provision for every $1 collected.
As shown in Table 9, there is a significant difference between the Town of Avon ratios
and those of two other counties in Colorado. In reviewing the other studies, Avon has
several unique factors that account for the differences. First, the other two communities
are looking at the fiscal impacts on a countyvvide scale. Second, Avon does not have
significant industrial or agricultural activities- Third, Avon is a resort community which
places unique service demands on govenunent (employee housing, community
recreation, and public transportation).

The data provided by this study identifies an important issue for the Town of Avon,
because the municipality is providing more public services than it is collecting in
revenue. While commercial land uses are providing more revenue than is being
expended ($0.21 per dollar), the gain is not great enough to cover the loss created by the
residential land uses ($0.68 - $0.21 = net loss of $0.47 per dollar collected). This
observation has been arrived at as the result of fiscal impact studies performed by many
other communities. The overall theme is that conventional residential development
negatively impacts service provision capacity whereas open space and non-residential
development tends to provide neutral or positive impacts (Burchell, 1998).
This dilemma is amplified by the fiscal limitations imposed upon local government by
Colorado's Gallagher and TABOR Amendments which limits the taxing abilities of
Avon. The Town of Avon needs to identify the level of services that the citizens desire
and then create a way to finance those services within the legal restraints imposed by law.
The data from 2002 shows that the town is running a deficit and that continued spending
at this level will eliminate the fund surplus the town currently enjoys.
A CONSERVATIVE PERSPECTIVE
This COCS study relied heavily on the default percentages in many of the revenue and
expenditure categories, therefore the findings presented should be viewed as conservative
numbers for the demands created by residential land uses.
- 1-? -
A COCS study completed in Saguache County, Colorado (Dirt Inc, 2002) used a different
method for determining the default percentage for general municipal expenditures. This
methodology reasoned that general governmental services (e.g. administration) were not
accurately proportioned towards the assessed valuation percentages. As an alternative,
the percentage of parcels in a land use category was used.
In the case of Avon, which has numerous residential only areas in the community, this
conservative method provides a more aggressive assessment of the residential demands.
Recall that Table l identifies that 83 percent of the parcels are residential land uses. Table
10 shows the results of utilizing the parcel percentages as default percentages for the
allocation of expenditures in Avon. The complete results of using this change are
attached in Appendix E.

WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?
The results of this study provide a picture of the current fiscal situation of the Town of
Avon. Avon is a resort community with all the demands and needs that come with that
location (high land prices and low wages, second home-owners, employee housing,
community recreation, and public transportation). The revenues are highly dependant on
sales tax, tourism, and the recreation industry. Finally, Avon is expending more on
l# public services than it is collecting in revenue. At this time, Avon is able to maintain this
level of revenues and expenditures due to the large yearly fund balance that can cover the
fiscal loss of public service provision. This situation raises several questions that need to
be answered.
1. Is the Town of Avon providing the desired level of public services, and if not,
how should they be modified?
2. Are the current methods of land development able to sustain a desired level of
public services?
3. Is there a way to make new land development fiscally responsible for the level of
public services that are demanded?
The answer to the first question goes far beyond the scope of this study, however, the
data provided allows a few normative statements to be made. Whether or not the current
levels of public service provision are adequate is a decision that must be made politically
through the town council and the citizens of Avon. On the other hand, the fact that the
town is running a large deficit is a significant reason to review the level and mix of public
service provision.
The choices of how to modify public services can occur through two basic methods,
oil increasing revenues or cutting costs. If the needs of the community require increased
-16-
services, this can occur through either raising revenues or cutting costs in other programs
and transferring the funds or a combination of the two. The fiscal restrictions placed on
municipalities by both the TABOR and Gallagher Amendments make tax increases a last
resort. The simplest tool to increase revenues comes in the form of charges and fees for
services.
If the needs of the community require that public services are diminished then the focus
is shifted to specific departments. Table 6 identifies the sources of expenditures by Avon
and their respective costs. The three largest budgets are occupied by Capital
Improvements, Recreation, and Public Works. Again, the choices of what the town
council and the citizens of the cormmunity want should guide the general direction of the
reduction of services if deemed necessary.
The result of the COCS study leads one to think that the answer to the second question is
no. This is due to the large disparity between the amount of revenues collected by the
town and the amount of expenditures spent on public service provision. If the last: third
of the town (the. Village (at Avon)) is developed with the current development tools,
00 methodologies and densities, then the burden on the commercial community to support
0 the residential community may increase.
Studies have shown that large increases in population growth will negatively affer-t the
level of services provided to existing residents (Ladd, 1992). In Avon, the demands on
services will increase significantly as development sprawls along the northwest mountain
sides of the valley as a result of low residential densities and high infrastructure
requirements. The only way to maintain current public service levels will be to increase
either taxes or charges for services due to the large amount of residential properties that
are soon to be constructed.
The last question is whether there are ways to develop the town that are fiscally
responsible. There are many opinions that can answer this question, however the +COCS
study points to one obvious answer. Even though the assessed valuation of Avon
increases with the growth of residential properties, the demand on service provision
grows as well.
Residential development in any area typically leads to increased demand for publiicly
. provided services. These demands place an increased burden on local infrastruct tre and
® government (Burebell and Listokin, 1995). The lower the density and the more diispersed
it is, the greater the costs are to provide public services. The increased use of mixfed use
(residential and commercial uses on the same property) development should decrease the
burden of residential growth on Avon. The high cost of providing services to resiidential
areas ($1.68) would be partially offset by the parallel and approximate spatial
development of commercial properties ($.0.79).

A RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STUDY FINDINGS
The goal of this study is to provide the leaders and citizens of Avon with a baseline
understanding of the current fiscal situation of the town with respect to land use. The
information attained through this study should assist Avon with developing responsible
land use and fiscal practices. The COCS study does not judge that one land use is better
than another, however it does provide the costs associated with each land use. The last
step is to make recommendations based on those findings:
FINDING 1:
Avon is spending more on public service provision than it is collecting in
revenues. COCS Ratios: Residential 1:1.68, Commercial 1:0.79, and Total
Avon 1:1.19.
RECOMMENDATION 1:
The Town of Avon needs to identify a unified vision for the funding and
provision of public services to guide the growth of the entire town.
A result of not having a single unified view of where Avon is heading is
that there are different directions taken and services provided to different
areas of town. Residential and commercial properties are equally
?. important to the success of the town, however residential land uses
(1:1.68) are benefiting significantly more than commercial (1:0.79). The
result is that commercial properties subsidize the public service provision
to the residential properties.
The Town Council and the citizens of Avon need to decide which path the
government should follow in the future. Once this vision for the future of
Avon is set, then the guiding documents, rules, taxing, and expenditure
!1 policies of the town can be revised. The optimal solution is to create a
fiscal equilibrium between the revenues collected and expenditures for
public services (1:1).
FINDING 2:
Commercial land uses (1: 0.79) are subsidizing a portion of the public
services that are provided to residential land uses (1:1.68).
RECOMMENDATION 2 (PART A):
New land developments and redevelopments should incorporate a mix of
both residential and commercial uses on the same property.
The COCS study had identified that the town spends $0.68 more on the
provision of services to residential land uses than it collects in revenue.
Commercial properties, on the other hand; do not receive as much in
service provision ($0.79) as is collected in revenue resulting in additional
funds for residential properties.
The town can reduce the fiscal deficit created by providing public services
to residential properties by incorporating commercial uses into the
developments. By combining both land uses on one property the costs of
-18-
No
providing services will be reduced resulting in developments that are
closer to fiscal equilibrium.
RECOMMENDATION 2 PART B):
The Town of Avon needs to revise the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan
to provide improved land use controls in order to support and achieve the
desired vision of the community and its leaders.
Many of the sections in the Zoning Code have not been altered since the
adoption of the regulations in the 1980's. Many things in Avon have
changed while the zoning governing the development of the town have
not. The result of this situation is that residential land uses are being
developed in accordance with the guidelines which create greater and
greater demands on public service provision. Whereas, commercial
property development, which generates positive revenue for the town, is
typically limited by the current zoning.
The new planning trends of compact spatial development can provide the
town with many examples of new growth that will produce relative fiscal
equilibrium. The zoning that the town uses is one of the most powerful
j tools that can be used to achieve the vision of the community. In the end,
new zoning regulations and comprehensive plan will allow the town
® greater flexibility in the review and design of projects being constructed in
the municipality so that the project is constructed in accordance with the
needs and goals of the town as well as within the available scope of public
service provision.
FINDING 3:
The use of the default percentage was considered necessary for most of the
revenue and expenditure allocations in steps 3 and 4 of the COCS study. The
primary reason for this was that there was a lack of information to directly
relate revenues and expenditures to specific land uses.
RECOMMENDATION 3:
Avon should create a centralized and uniform information system and
database.
¢ As the Town of Avon has grown, the systems that hold, manage, and
disperse information have not. They have been adapted and manipulated
to suit the specific needs of each individual department. The existing data
? collection and storage systems do not work well together. There is no one
common way to store documents or data.
? The town needs to find a unified database system that allows data from all
01 the different departments to be accessed and viewed. The use of a system
that correlates data to geographical locations would allow a much more
specific and accurate analysis to be completed. This would also allow the
1 many departments in the town to improve communication and
-19-
accountability to the public as a result of better information transfer and
access.
With proactive planning and communication between Avon and its citizens, the goals of
providing affordable housing, creating jobs, conserving land, and managing a growing
community can be balanced among one another. In order to continue the growth and
prosperity that Avon has seen, the town must develop new strategies to manage growth
that take in to account not only fiscal and environmental aspects but social and
environmental aspects, as well.

Re: Tractor-Trailer Traffic on Metcalf Road
Summary: It has been reported that trucks, particularly tractor-trailers, delivering to the
cominercial properties on Metcalf Road impede the flow of traffic. In the past twelve months
there is record of two related complaints, both complaints were associated with 371 Metcalf
Rd. Staff believes that there is no need to address this concern by adoption of a new
ordinance. Existing sections of the Model Traffic Code and Colorado Revised Statute
adequately address this area of concern.
Previous Council Action: This topic was discussed by Council in a work
session in 2000. No formal action was taken. It was felt that trucks delivering to the area,
estimated at three to five trucks per week, represented an insignificant problem.
Discussion: The businesses that occupy 371 Metcalf, along with other businesses on
Metcalf Road, were surveyed by police officers about the frequency of deliveries and type of
delivery vehicles related to their business and neighboring businesses on Metcalf Rd.
There are three businesses on Metcalf Road that receive regular deliveries by tractor-trailer:
Ruggs Benedict, Schneider Mechanical and Maverick Flooring. Several of the other
businesses receive sporadic deliveries by tractor-trailer with a frequency of no more than one a
month.
Schneider Mechanical and Maverick Flooring are located at 371 Metcalf Road, the location of
both of the recorded complaints about trucks impeding traffic. Between the two businesses
there are about six tractor-trailer deliveries a month, two to Schneider Mechanical and four to
Maverick Flooring.
371 Metcalf Rd. does meet engineering standards for maneuvering a tractor-trailer on site, but
due to the relatively small area, most of the tractor-trailer drivers use the roadway to increase
their maneuvering space.
There are a number of current municipal ordinances and state statutes that can be used to
address this concern. They include:
Municipal Ordinances
• 10. Parking to obstruct traffic
No person shall park any vehicle upon a street or at any other place within this
municipality in such a manner or under such conditions as to interfere with the free
movement of vehicular traffic or proper street or highway maintenance. (Ord. 87-4
§ 1(part))•
Model Traffic Code
• 902 Limitations on turning around
(1) No vehicle shall be turned so as to proceed in the opposite direction upon any
curve or upon the approach to or near the crest of a grade where such vehicle cannot be
seen by the driver of any other vehicle approaching from either direction within such
distance as is necessary to avoid interfering with or endangering approaching traffic.
(2) The driver of any vehicle shall not turn such vehicle at an intersection or any other
location so as to proceed in the opposite direction unless such movement can be made in
safety and without interfering with or endangering other traffic.
(3) Local and state authorities, within their respective jurisdictions, subject to the
provisions of section 43-2-135 (1) (g), C.R.S., in the case of streets which are state
highways, may erect "U-turn" prohibition or restriction signs at intersections or other
locations where such movements are deemed to be hazardous, and, whenever official
signs are so erected, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the instructions thereof.
• 1202 Parking or abandonment of vehicles
No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle, either attended or unattended,
outside of a business or a residential district, upon the paved or improved and main-
traveled part of the highway. Nothing contained in this section shall apply to the driver
of any vehicle which is disabled while on the paved or improved and main-traveled
portion of a highway in such manner and to such extent that it is impossible to avoid
stopping and temporarily leaving such disabled vehicle in such position, subject, when
applicable, to the emergency lighting requirements set forth in section 230.
0 Page 2
• 1211 Limitations on backing
(1) (a) The driver of a vehicle, whether on public property or private property which is
used by the general public for parking purposes, shall not back the same unless such
movement can be made with safety and without interfering with other traffic.
(b) The driver of a vehicle shall not back the same upon any shoulder or roadway of any
controlled-access highway.
(2) Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class A traffic
infraction.
C.R.S
• 18-9-107 Obstructing highway or other passageway
(1) An individual or corporation commits an offense if without legal privilege such
individual or corporation intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly:
(a) Obstructs a highway, street, sidewalk, railway, waterway, building entrance,
elevator, aisle, stairway, or hallway to which the public or a substantial group of the
public has access or any other place used for the passage of persons, vehicles, or
conveyances, whether the obstruction arises from his acts alone or from his acts and the
acts of others; or
(b) Disobeys a reasonable request or order to move issued by a person the individual
or corporation knows to be a peace officer, a firefighter, or a person with authority to
control the use of the premises, to prevent obstruction of a highway or passageway or to
maintain public safety by dispersing those gathered in dangerous proximity to a fire, riot,
or other hazard.
(2) For purposes of this section, "obstruct" means to render impassable or to render
passage unreasonably inconvenient or hazardous.
(3) An offense under this section is a class 3 misdemeanor.
Recommendation: Staff believes that the enforcement of the foregoing
provisions is the best way to address the issue of the parking of overlength trucks.
Should this solution be chosen, members of the Avon Police Department will re-
contact businesses in the area and serve notice of the Town's desires. A media
release will also describe the solution.
Educating motorists to report impeding trucks to the Avon Police Department (non-
emergency dispatch number, 479-2201) would be an inexpensive and time-saving way to
implement this solution. It would allow officers to address the problem within minutes of it
occurring. Signs would be placed in the area with the wording:
0 Page 3
TRUCKS BLOCKING TRAFFIC?
CALL 479-2201
AVON POLICE DEPARTMENT
One note of caution: Police officers would not likely arrive in time to see the
violation. Complainants would be required to sign the ticket or be recorded as
complainant and testify at any subsequent court proceedings. It is possible that
the trucking community, after a ticket or two, may choose not to deliver to the
area, thereby upsetting Metcalf area merchants.
Staff recommends that the proposed signs be placed and that the situation is
monitored for at least a year before further council action is taken.
Financial Implications: Materials costs for signs is approximately $300. There
would be additional installation costs.
Alternatives: Enactment of an ordinance, which prohibits overlength trucks from
using Metcalf Road. This option, staff believes, goes too far and places an undue burden on
deliveries to businesses on Metcalf Road.
Monitor the area with video equipment to obtain exact numbers and proceed with the data.

Re: Second Reading of Ordinance 03-10, An Ordinance Approving Formal
PUD Amendment No. 1 for the Village (at Avon) Development Plan and
PUD Guide, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado
Public Hearing
Summary
On September 9, 2003 Council approved Ordinance 03-10 on first reading as proposed.
Traer Creek LLC submitted a revised development plan and PUD Guide along with a
revised traffic report and sketch plan subdivision on Monday, September 15 and made the
following modifications:
• RMF-1 decreased the density to 6 dwelling units per acre, which decreases the
density from 244 to 184 and deleted all of the secondary/accessory units.
• Planning Area Q deleted the 3.4 acres Regional Commercial site.
The following items are outstanding concerns with the revised application:
• The revised traffic report indicates a LOS "D". Please review the conditions
contained in your packets for the sketch plan subdivision, Resolution 03-39.
• The fire station location is no longer an element of the application. Staff
recommends the applicant designate the fire station location on the Community
Park as initially contemplated in 1998 (on Planning Area N), or alternately on
Planning Area Q, and has added a condition in Ordinance 03-10 establishing this
condition.
• The PUD Guide for Planning Area Q does not contain the gas station and/or
carwash as a special review use. After several meetings and review of this issue,
staff has modified the condition in Ordinance 03-10 authorizing approval of the site
plan and circulation through the Planning & Zoning process.
Memo to Town Council, September 23, 2003 Page 1 of 2
Ordinance 03-10, VAA Formal PUD Amendment No. 1
• Staff recommends the accessory units remain as a permitted use on RMF-1 in the
PUD Guide to allow for flexibility of the residential development, counting as full
dwelling units against the proposed density.
• To date, Eagle County School District has not provided any correspondence or
Memorandum indicating the provisions for the school site, Planning Area G. A draft
is expected prior to the disbursement of your packets on Friday, September 26.
Recommendations
Staff recommends tabling of Ordinance 03-10 with the revisions as proposed until a
Memorandum of Understanding with the School District is formally executed.
Additionally, in light of Staff discussion with the School District Attorney on September 17th
2003, it appears as though the basic premise of this application (moving the school site to
RMF-4) may be unacceptable to the District without first securing access across U.S.
Forest Service land as depicted on the plans.
Proposed Motion
"I move to table the second reading of Ordinance 03-10, Approving Formal PUD
Amendment No. 1 for the Village (at Avon) Development Plan and PUD Guide, Town of
Avon, Eagle County, Colorado."

RE: Traer Creek PUD Amendment - Ordinance 03-10, An Ordinance Approving Formal
PUD Amendment No. I for the Village (at Avon) Development Plan and PUD Guide, Town of
Avon, Eagle County, Colorado
Honorable Mayor, Town Council, Town Manager and Staff,
On behalf of Traer Creek LLC, we felt it important to provide this letter in regards to our current
PUD Amendment under review and consideration. As you're aware, on Tuesday, September 9,
2003 Council voted to approve ordinance 03-10 on first reading and this application is now
scheduled to go to second reading with Town Council and Public on September 23, 2003.
It is our belief that the recent approval on first reading of this PUD Amendment and related
ordinance was due to various reasons including but not limited to: P&Z's prior review and
approval; various meetings between applicant and Town staff, a public hearing on August 26; a
recent tour of site with the council, public and staff; and related work session with council, staff
and applicant. Throughout this process, we have done our best to listen intently to your issues
and concerns, work diligently and responsibly to address and resolve these issues and coilccnis.
and ultimately create a PUD Amendment and related land use plan which will be beneficial to
the Town of Avon and Eagle County.
Some of the key modifications which we've made from our originally submitted PUD
application, based upon both Town and Public comments include:
• Conversion of a 3.6 Acres of Regional Commercial Area (Q West) to Park Land (N)
• Agreement to establish a three party agreement (Memo of Understanding) between
School District, Town and Developer in order to provide school district with a larger site
(9 acres versus 7.3), move away from Interchange and locate school site on RMF-4
amongst residential. For reference, we are currently awaiting a draft agreement of the
MOU from the school district attorney.
• Agreement to reduce accessory units within RMF-1 from over 70 units originally
proposed to 25 accessory units
• Agreement to revise the LSC traffic study analysis to further indicate feasibility of
densities as it relates to traffic north of I-70

Traer Creek PUD Amendment - Ordinance 03-10
PAGE 2
• Agreement to demonstrate sufficient water rights to provide service to RMF-4 and related
development throughout prc;ect
• Agreement to eliminate "in.,-?rval ownership" as an allowable use within RMF-1
• Agreement to construct a r-)ad to the school site (G) connecting to RMF-4 either via a
northern route or via USFS at such time school District requires its site based upon the
aforementioned Memorandum of Understanding
• Continue to meet with the Forest Service and Western Land Group to facilitate an
easement or land exchange to garner a direct access to RMF-4 through the USFS. Also
we've requested letters of support in this regard from Town, School District, Eco Trails.
• Agreement on 11 of the 14 staff conditions for ordinance 03-10 (excluding #5, #11, #14)
Following the approval of the first reading of ordinance 03-10 on September 9, 2003 and related
to recent Town Council and Staff comments, we again shall respond to councils comments and
offer the following:
• Elimination of all accessory units within RMF-1 from currently proposed 25 to 0
• Reduce total density on RMF-1 from 8 dwelling units an acre to 6 dwelling units an acre,
which is equivalent and no change from the original and currently approved PUD
densities within RMF-1
• Withdraw request to decrease PUD landscape requirement within RMF-1 residential from
15% to 20% and remain at 20%
• Withdraw request to decrease PUD landscape requirement within Q regional commercial
from 5% to 20% and remain at 20%
In return, we respectfully request that Council approves on second reading, ordinance 03-10 with
certain minor modifications. First, we have replaced the 3.6 acre regional commercial Q West
parcel with Park Land (N) and thus the condition in #5 stating that 3.4 acres of useable park be
replaced needs to be revised accordingly. Second, condition #11 in the ordinance which requires
a special review use for service stations in Area Q should be stricken, as Traer Creek strongly

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Thru: Larry Brooks, Town Manager
From: Norman Wood, Town Engine
Date: September 18, 2003
Re: The Village (at Avon) Sketch Plan Approval - Resolution No. 03-39, Series of
2003
Summary: Traer Creek RP LLC has submitted an application for Subdivision
Sketch Plan approval in conjunction with an application for a formal PUD Amendment to The
Village (at Avon) Development Plan and PUD Guide to Planning Areas G, M, N, Q, RMF-l,
RMF-4, OS-5 and OS-13. The Sketch Plan and supporting documentation have been
reviewed for compliance and compatibility with the proposed PUD Amendment, prior
agreements and Town of Avon Subdivision Regulations. Based upon this review we
recominend approval of Resolution No. 03-39, A Resolution Approving Subdivision Sketch
Plan for The Village (at Avon) Filing 3, A Resubdivision of Portions of Sections 7, 8 and 9,
Township 5 South, Range 81 West of the 6t" Principal Meridian, Town of Avon, Eagle
County, Colorado, concurrently with approval of Ordinance No. 03-10, an Ordinance
approving Formal PUD Amendment No. 1.
Discussion: Documentation submitted with the Sketch Plan Application
includes an Engineering Geologic Reconnaissance of Tract M and Upper Access Road by
Golder Associates, Inc., a traffic study by LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. and letters
from E agle R iver W ater & S anitation D istrict and Excel Energy indicating their ability to
provide water, sewer and natural gas service to Tract M.
The Golder Engineering Geologic Reconnaissance identifies some potential hazard areas
along the proposed access road to Planning Areas G and RMF-4, and within the Planning
Areas. The report also states, "The required mitigation can be implemented using
conventional civil, geotechnical, and hydrologic engineering practices."
I:\Engineeiing\Avon Village\1.0 Genelal\PUD Amendments\Res 03-39 Memo.Doc
The LSC traffic study includes trip generation for maximum anticipated development and
evaluates impacts on proposed roadway design. We believe the study reflects potential traffic
expected to be generated by the proposed zoning and the impacts on the street network. We
generally concur with recommendations in the report with the exceptions that are based upon a
Level of Service (LOS) of D as being satisfactory. The Town of Avon has established LOS C
as a minimum satisfactory LOS. We believe the following conditions included in Resolution
03-39 will improve the projected LOS to C or better in all areas.
1. Post Boulevard / Road D / Swift Gulch Road / Road 1 Intersection shall be
fully signalized or constructed as a roundabout to maintain Level of Service C
per Town of Avon Standards.
2. Swift Gulch Road
a. Minimum distance from Post Boulevard intersection to entrances and
minimum distance between entrances shall be 300 feet.
b. Left turn lanes shall have a minimum width of 12 feet.
c. Left turn lanes shall extend to the westerly boundary of Tract Q.
3. Road 1 (Swift Gulch Road East)
a. Minimum distance from Post Boulevard intersection to entrances and
minimum distance between entrances shall be 300 feet.
b. Left turn lanes shall have a minimum width of 12 feet.
c. Left turn lanes shall extend to the easterly boundary of RMF-1.
The letter from Eagle River Water & Sanitation District indicates an ability to serve Tract M
with the understanding it is within the scope of the original PUD and 2400 Units. The
proposed Formal PUD Amendment No. 1 allows up to 310 residential units in Planning Area
RMF-4 which are in addition to the 2400 Units in the original PUD. Resolution No. 03-39
includes the following condition:
Submit documentation for additional water rights dedication, adjudication and
approved related agreements with Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority and the
Town of Avon for residential units and irrigated areas in RMF-4 (Tract M).
We believe this will assure that adequate water rights will be provided for the potential
development on Tract M (Planning Areas G and RMF-4)
Recommendation: Approve, deny or table Resolution No. 03-39, A
Resolution Approving Subdivision Sketch Plan for The Village (at Avon) Filing 3, A
Resubdivision of Portions of Sections 7, 8 and 9, Township 5 South, Range 81 West of the 6"'
Principal Meridian, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado, concurrently with approval,
denial or tabling of Ordinance No. 03-10, an Ordinance approving Formal PUD Amendment
No. 1.
9 Page 2
Alternatives: The Sketch Plan has been submitted in conjunction with
proposed Formal PUD Amendment No. 1 and should be approved concurrently with
Ordinance 03-10, An Ordinance Approving Formal PUD Amendment No.l for The Village
(at Avon) Development Plan and PUD Guide, Town of Avon, Eagle County Colorado. If
Ordinance 03-10 is tabled or denied on Second Reading, Resolution No. 03-39 should also be
tabled or denied accordingly.
Proposed Motion: I move to table Resolution No. 03-39 and Ordinance
03-10, An Ordinance Approving Formal PUD Amendment No.1 for The Village (at Avon)

Ordinances
The Town Council considered on first reading Ordinance No. 03-10, an Ordinance approving
the Formal PUD Amendment No. 1 to the Village (at Avon) PUD Development Plan and PUD
Guide, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. Councilor Sipes stepped down at this time
noting a conflict of interest on the project.
Community Development Director Ruth Borne presented the Ordinance noting that Traer Creek
LLC submitted the PUD Amendment for the Village at Avon on May 30, 2003. Borne
recommended tabling the Ordinance at this time in order that staff be provided more time to
review the revised application that was only just submitted the prior Thursday. Developer
representative Shane Bohart asked the Council to take some action on first reading on the
Ordinance and then allow for discussion & revisions to take place before second reading.
Mayor Reynolds asked Bohart to again highlight the revisions they have made since the last
meeting. Highlights included some of the following:
? Reduced the number of accessory units to 25 instead of 70 plus.
? Working with ECSD to confirm that Parcel M would serve as the school site location.
? Converted back the 3.6 acres to park designation instead of commercial.
? Water issues continue to be addressed.
? Traffic report continues to be addressed.
Community development Director Borne noted that No. 13 condition in the ordinance stated "the
PUD Amendment approval was contingent upon concurrent approval of the Subdivision Sketch
Plan for all affected planning areas (Planning Areas RMF-1, RMF-4, Q, N and G)." After some
further discussion, a motion was made.
Councilor D. Buckley moved to approved Ordinance No. 03-10, Series of 2003, An Ordinance
Approving Formal PUD Amendment No. 1 to the Village (at Avon) PUD Development Plan and
PUD Guide, Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. Councilor Brown seconded the motion.
Some additional Council comments were made at this time. A roll call vote was taken and the
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote (Brown, D. Buckley, McDevitt, P. Buckley - yea; Wolfe - nay;
Sipes - abstained due to conflict of interest). Town Manager Larry Brooks commended both the
development team & staff on their hard work & efforts in reviewing and processing this project.
