Mr. Al Alpi, Mayor September 13, 1979
Town of Avon
P.O. Box D
Avon, Colorado 81620
Dear A1:
IN REPLY REFER TO
2820(7-162)
1601
I have enclosed application forms and information requested in your
letter dated September 7, 1979. My answer to your question about
the access road and land purchase being separate issues or requests
is, yes, I believe they sheuld be.
I will take this opportunity to reiterate some of the points or dis-
cussion when Dave Jones and I visited with you on September 5. The
Bureau, in the Glenwood Springs Resource Area, including Avon, is
presently conducting an intensive land use inventory, defining current
and potential uses and demands. Specifically, in the Upper Eagle
Valley, we are and will continue to work with the Eagle County Planning
Department, towns or communities to identify public purpose needs;
such as, open space, land for schools, parks, cemetaries, landfills,
rifle ranges, etc. If Avon does have future needs for public lands
for these or similar purposes, and private lands are not available,
you need to express your interest now.
Following the inventory this fall, we will begin to prepare a Resource
Management Plan (RMP). The RMP will address current and potential
uses, conflicts for use when they arise, and eventually allocate the
resource or type of use. The RMP will be complete, after preparation
of an Environmental Impact Statement, January 1, 1983. You are aware
of the proposed Forest Service-BLM boundary adjustment that could
affect Avon, and the expression by the county to maintain the open
space values of the valley.
Prior to entering into long-term lease agreements or disposal of
public lands the Bureau will complete the RMP. The intent is to make
sure all potential uses of the land are considered prior to making a
decision for lease or disposal.
In the short term, I encourage you to continue expressing your interest
to the Bureau. You mentioned law enforcement problems and off-road
Save Energy and You Serve America!

vehicle use on public land near Avon. I am interested in helping you
resolve those problems, if you wish to pursue them.
The Buck Creek access road (Benchmark) was the other issue. I believe
a thorough job of analysis was completed by the Bureau prior to re-
jecting Benchmark's application for the road. I realize that Avon
accepted the inherent problems of providing service to the subdivisions
under construction now on private lands. The town may proceed to
refile an application for the Buck Creek Road, however, I will consider
the road in the same manner as was done before. You will need additional
supporting information, not previously considered, to receive favorable
consideration.
Again, I wish to express a need to continue our communication and look
forward to working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Alfred lJ. Wright
