BENCHMARK AT BEAVER CREEK SUBDIVISION, TOWN OF AVON, EAGLE
COUNTY, COLORADO
Mayor Reynolds noted the title for Resolution No. 95-3 is
confusing. This is actually a Resolution denying the parking
variance for Lot 14/15, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. This
Resolution is reversing the Planning & Zoning Commission's
decision.
Mr. Wood stated that a parking variance was approved by the
Planning & Zoning Commission for an additional reduction of seven
spaces for Lot 14/15, Block 1, Benchmark. Following the
approval, of the variance, the decision was appealed to the
Council. There was a public hearing held on the variance, at the
last Council meeting. The appeal was continued until this

variance. The Resolution incorporates the necessary findings for
the decision, with regard to the appeal, as well as the
conditions and considerations in-making'the decision.
