John Eberly, of the Town of Vail's LIFT program, discussed the types of
bus service which the LIFT, a federally funded transportation program,
could provide for the Town of Avon. Of the four types of services
provided, the LIFT "pool," whereby a driver organizes a minimum of eight
people to commute to Vail in a LIFT van at $.04 per mile, seems to be
the most feasible for Avon. The Council agreed to encourage Avon
residents to take advantage of this program.

Jim Wells of the Benchmark Architectural Control Committee introduced
Brian Bryne, architect for Helmut Lilischkies, applicant for a building
permit for Lot 3, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. The
building plan provides for two parking spaces for each of the twelve
condo units. Since this does not comply with the current County
standards, the County Building Official required that the applicant bring
the plan before the Council for their review and written authorization
for the County to issue a building permit. Jim Wells stated that the
Architectural Control Committee reviewed the plans and approved them
subject to the following conditions: details for the exterior lighting
shall be submitted, all exposed metal shall be painted a dark color to
match the anodized aluminum, a common access easement shall be obtained
from the owner of Lot 4, Block 2, and the site shall be properly
landscaped. These conditions are included in the Committee's Minutes
of Thursday, September 14, 1978. Copies of these Minutes will be provided
to the Council.
After some discussion, Steve Erickson moved that the Council approve the
building plan for Lot 3, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
contingent upon the owner meeting the conditions set forth by the Architec-
tural Control Committee and u,Don the owner completing and maintaining
the landscaping. If the owner should fail to complete or maintain the
landscaping, the Town shall have the power to complete and maintain
the landscaping at the owner's expense. If the owner fails to reimburse
the Town for landscaping provided by the Town, the Town shall have the
power to file a lien against the property. Seconded by Joyce Allred and
passed unanimously.
The Council briefly discussed forming an Architectural Control
Committee. Jim Wells said he would pro3ide the Council with copies of
the "Rules and Regulations," the "Protective Covenants" and Minutes of
