RE: PROPOSED SWIFT GULCH SUBDIVISION, ZONE CHANGE, AND SPA
PLAN AMENDMENT
Section 36, Inc. has requested a zone change and SPA Plan
Amendment in conjunction with a request for Preliminary Plat
approval for Swift Gulch Subdivision, which consists of a
re-subdivision of Tract C and Tract Y, Block 1, Benchmark at
Beaver Creek and Swift Gulch Addition. The proposed Preliminary
Plat provides for the inclusion of easterly 1.36 acres of existing
Tract Y into existing Parcel 1 of Swift Gulch Addition. The
stated purpose of this change is to provide a more safe and
convenient vehicular access to Parcel 1 and to provide better
space for building between I-70 and Swift Gulch Road.
The proposed zone change would convert the easterly 1.36 acres
of existing Tract Y from OLD to SPA, making it a portion of the
Swift Gulch SPA in conformance with the proposed Preliminary
Plat. No other changes to the Swift Gulch SPA Plan are included
in the requested action.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has held a public hearing on
the requested zone change and has reviewed the Preliminary Plat
for conformance with adopted Master Plan working goals and
objectives. The Commission then recommended approval of the
Preliminary Plat and requested Zone Change subject to:
1) The requested zone change and SPA Plan Amendment be
approved in conjunction with approval and recording of
the Final Plat;
2) Final Plat include a Subdividers Agreement providing for:
a) the dedication of proposed Tract Y to the Town of Avon;
b) the inclusion of an access easement across proposed
Lot 1, from Swift Gulch Road to proposed Tract Y; and
c) a provision to save the existing trees along Nottingham-
Puder Ditch
Recommended Council Action:
1) Conduct public hearing with regard to Preliminary Plat.
2) Adopt Resolution No. 85-30 approving Preliminary Plat for
Swift Gulch Subdivision.
3) Authorize preparation of Zoning Ordinance to accomplish
proposed zone changes with approval of Final Plat for
Swift Gulch Subdivision.

RE: Swift Gulch Preliminary Plat Submittal
rA11r, i 5 1QR5'
Submitted herewith are four copies of the Preliminary Plat Map, Reports and
Additional information in accordance with Chapter 16.20, Article II of the Avon
Municipal Code. A check in the amount of $240.00 for the required filing fee is
attached in accordance with Section 16.12.040, D.2 of the Code as follows:
Plans with more than three lots $ 200.00
Plus ten dollars ($10.00) per lot (4 lots) 40.00
Total Fee
$ 240.00
Please recall that the Plat Map was submitted to you on August 6, 1985 for review
concurrently with the Swift Gulch Rezoning Application. Also please recall that 1)
there are no new roads involved and that roads and drainage plans have been
previously submitted and approved, 2) virtually the same plat was approved by the
Town Council by its Resolution No. 82-18, and 3) the SPA (Specially Planned Area)
Zone for the Swift Gulch Addition was approved by Council Ordinance No. 81-31 and
established current land uses by Ordinance No. 85-4.
In reality, the purpose for the subdivision is very minor: it is to formalize the
existing two Parcels and call them "Lots"; to move Lot 1 slightly west; and to
rezone that added portion of Lot 1. Therefore, with all the previous review and
approvals, it would seem this Plat would require much less review than ordinarily is
necessary.
We request that this Application be considered for approval by the Town Council at
its meeting of August 27, 1985. If you need any assistance to prepare the Public
Hearing Notice or require additional information, please do not hesitate to let us
know.
Sincerely
