TC Minutes 11-18-1980MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE TOWN OF AVON, COUNCILMEMBERS
HELD NOVEMBER 18, 1980 - 3:00 P.M.
The Special Meeting of the Town Councilmembers of the Town of Avon,
Colorado was held in the Town Offices, second floor, Benchmark Shopping
Center, Avon.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Alpi at 4:25 p.m. A roll call
was taken with all councilmembers in attendance except Allan Nottingham
and Bill Doyle who were absent. Also present were Town Attorney John Dunn
as well as the press and public.
First on the agenda was the discussion of the Avon Mall agreement but
the property owners were not present so the Council moved on to the
second item on the agenda, the Beaver Creek Transoortation discussion.
Without the expected representation from Beaver Creek Transit, the
Council proceeded to discuss the possibility of the proposed bus schedule.
The schedule is one bus every half hour during the peak hours in the
morning and afternoon (8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.)
and one bus every hour during the slow period. The idea is to have a
bus service for the guests to transport them to the reception center.
Sheila spoke with some local people and got their input on the schedule.
The majority said they would rather have one bus per hour that would
take them to the top rather than stop at the reception center. The
Council decided that the problem with one bus per hour is that there
would be too long of a wait if missed or full. After more discussion
and more local input Jim Wells moved that we try out the bus service
once every half hour for the residents of Avon during peak times which
would be 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. each
day and then the service would be once every hour between those peak
times for delivery of skiers to the reception center at Beaver Creek
with a maximum cost of $28,600.00 for this ski season. The motion
was seconded by Steve Erickson and was unanimously carried.
Next on the agenda was the Avon Mall Agreement. John Dunn approached
the council with the revised version of the alternate proposed agreement.
Several parts of the alternate proposed agreement, comprised by the
property owners and the agreement comprised by John Dunn were read and
discussed. Mr. Dunn pointed out some of the points he had trouble with
and Don Buick, the representative for the property owners brought-out
their opinions on the same points. It was decided by the property
owners and the Council that they would appoint a commitee comprised of
five people (one council member and one representative from each of the
properties). It was decided that Hugh Price would represent the Council
and Steve Erickson would be an alternate. This commitee will design
and organize a complete plan for the mall. Once this is completed it
must be presented to the Council and they have the authority to veto the
plan. It was also decided that the mall landscaping would be worked
around the designs of the property owners. A clause concerning insurance
for the property owners and a clause concerning subordination to protect
the property owners was also entered into the agreement. John Dunn said
0 . 9
E
he would draw up a new agreement with the corrections discussed
and sand it to the property owners and the Town Council. The property
owners must bring the agreement back signed by all parties concerned
by the first regular meeting in December (December 9, 1980). The
Council decided to reconsider their previous decision to wait until an
agreement was made before hiring an architect and proceed to hire
Denton, Harper and Marshall as long as the agreement was signed by
December 9, 1980.
Norm Woods, the Town Engineer approached the Council. He wanted to
recommend that we finish putting in the culverts and the retaining
walls on Beaver Creek Boulevard and no paving this year. There
was considerable discussion about safety, care of the road, stability
of price next year and drainage for the road.
There being no further business, Steve Erickson moved that the Council
adjourn and Hugh Price seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned
by Mayor Alpi at 6:00 p.m.
