To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
From: Gary Padilla, Road and Bridge Superintendent
Date: April 3, 2013
Agenda Topic: Resolution 12 -13 Right -of -Way Use Fees
On January 10, 2006, Town Council approved Resolution 06 -01 Revising Fee Schedule for
Zoning, Construction Work within the Public Ways, Subdivision and Design Review Applications,
Town of Avon, Eagle County, Colorado. Staff is recommending at this time the Construction
Work within the Public Ways Fee Schedule (Fee Schedule) be amended.
Fees are intended to cover the cost of Town staffs' time in the acceptance, review, approval
and supervision of work within the Town right -of -way by parties other than Town of Avon
employees or agents. The Road and Bridge department typically averages about 45 right -of-
way permits per year, including permits for utility installation such as repairs for water, gas,
phone and cable.
The Fee Schedule for the past six (6) years has been questioned by numerous local contractors,
utility companies and private property owners as being too high especially when compared to
other municipalities in the region. Town staff has contacted the Towns of Vail, Frisco and
Snowmass and compared Avon's current fees. While each entity uses different scales and types
of work for calculating their fee schedule, Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer, and I found that
Avon's fees are significantly higher than these towns.
Justin worked with me to estimate what we felt the appropriate fee should be to cover Town
costs. Over this next year, Town staff periodically will track our actual time spent on right -of-
way permitting and administration, however, with the need to provide permits by April 15th to
contractors, we are recommending the fees be revised as provided for in Resolution 13 -12. 1
am attaching a redline of the current fees and proposed changes. [See Attachment 1]
An average of $42,000 was collected by the Town over the past two years for right -of -way
permits. The 2013 budget is $35,00 in permit fee revenue. I am estimating that collections may
fall as much as 50% with the lower recommended fees.
RECOMMENDATION: Council, by motion and vote, approve Resolution 13 -12.
