12-29-2014 Management Plan For West Avon PreserveMANAGEMENT PLAN FOR
West Avon Preserve
Town of Avon ( "Town ") is the current owner of the West Avon Preserve property (the
"Property ") legally described in and subject to a conservation easement granted to the Eagle
Valley Land Trust ( "EVLT ") on "April 23rd, 2013" and recorded at Reception No. 201309282 in
the real estate records of Eagle County, Colorado (the "CE ").
This Management Plan ( "Plan ") update (aka amendment) replaces all prior management plan
versions for the Property and provides for the present and future management of the Property.
This plan shall be revised periodically by Town and EVLT as required by the CE and as
necessary to reflect changing conditions on the Property. To the extent the provisions of this
Plan conflict with the provisions of the CE, the CE shall control. Where notification and/or
approval of EVLT is required pursuant to the CE for the uses described in this Plan, EVLT
hereby acknowledges receipt of such notice and approval of such uses.
This Plan has been created to outline specific strategies to further protect and maintain the
conservation values listed in the CE (the "Conservation Values "). The Property's Conservation
Values, as set forth in the CE, are: protection of relatively natural habitat, scenic enjoyment by
the general public and passive recreation and educational purposes for the public, all of which
will yield a significant public benefit. The Town is obligated to uphold the terms of the CE
including ensuring that all acts on and uses of the Property must have a positive impact, neutral
impact, or no impact on the protection of the Conservation Values as determined by Grantee in
its discretion.
The goal of this Plan is to set forth the use of the Property for the purpose of preserving and
protecting the Town's investment in all of the Conservation Values, providing compatible
outdoor recreation opportunities, including trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback
riding, and providing for mitigation of the impacts of the recreational amenities on wildlife and
habitat, all in accordance with the CE and this Plan.
The creation and maintenance of the trails on Property, and the protection of wildlife habitat,
could not be possible without the significant volunteer efforts put forward by the Vail Valley
Mountain Biking Association and the compliance of the general public with this Plan. The Vail
Valley Mountain Bike Association has assured the Parties of its continued cooperation in
assistance with maintaining the permitted trails and restoring former social trails. Without this
continued cooperation, trails may need to be closed as required by this Plan.
EVLT is not responsible for the management of the Property in any way including construction
or maintenance of trails or installation or maintenance of improvements, and EVLT has no
enforcement responsibility with respect to any provisions of this Plan, or usage rules and
regulations as determined by the Town other than the requirement to enforce the terms of the CE
should they be violated by the Town.
Date: / 7' 01 ' / 1
A. GENERAL
The Town and EVLT agree that the following passive uses may occur on the Property so long as
they do not create new unauthorized trails or adversely impact the Conservation Values of the
Property: trail maintenance (and construction to the extent that the trails permitted by this Plan
are not yet completed), restoration of social trails, habitat preservation and management,
education of the public, hiking, mountain biking, equestrian, jogging, running, picnicking,
photography, wildlife viewing, bird watching, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, orienteering,
Frisbee (no Frisbee Golf) , kite - flying, and other uses not inconsistent with Town regulations for
open space or with the Conservation Values of the Property.
Additional Improvements and Trails: Due to the Iarge number of improvements, paths and
trails permitted in 2013 -20I4, no additional trails, paths or improvements are permitted other
than those described in this Plan without a formal assessment of the impacts of such additions
and the approval of EVLT. All EVLT costs of assessing the impacts of such future proposals,
including staff time, biological assessment reports, and legal fees, shall be reimbursed by the
Town.
Motorized Use: No motorized use of the Property will occur unless it specifically involves the
Town or contractors conducting management of the Property such as fence repair, weed control,
or trail construction or maintenance. Any damage to the Conservation Values as a result of such
activities shall be promptly repaired and native vegetation restored as described below.
Enforcement: The Town shall patrol the Property on a regular basis (at least monthly during the
winter) to effectively enforce the Town's rules and the requirements of this Plan. The Town shall
periodically walk the Property to notice any changes, pick up any found inorganic debris, and
take reasonable steps to address any changes that are noticed that adversely impact the
Conservation Values.
Closures: During periods of closures noted herein no management activities shall take place
other than enforcement of the Town's rules and compliance with the requirements of this Plan
with the goal being that no humans or domestic animals enter any portions of the Property other
than those areas specifically excepted to the closure.
B. HABITAT MANAGMENT
The Town intends to employ sound management and Iand conservation practices to protect its
investment in the wildlife habitat by the Property and to preserve the Property in a natural,
scenic, and open condition.
The Property provides habitat for a variety of wildlife species, including migratory songbirds,
raptors, small mammals and big game. It also provides habitat for species considered rare,
threatened, endangered or of special concern including the bald eagle and northern leopard frog.
Riparian areas on the Property provide suitable habitat for the Northern Leopard frog (listed as a
species of concern by the State of Colorado). The Property also contains important summer and
winter range habitat for mule deer and elk, critical winter range for mule deer and bald eagle,
overall range for mountain lion, and is summer range for black bear.
Date: 1Z % 2
Vegetation on the Property is comprised entirely of native plant communities including
sagebrush shrublands, mixed mountain shrublands, Pinyon juniper woodlands, and aspen stands.
The Property has good quality winter range, providing important cover for deer and elk
populations, and containing favorite browse species including mountain mahogany, big
sagebrush, antelope bitterbrush, rabbitbrush, Rocky Mountain juniper and a diverse understory of
grasses and forbs. Sage brush provides suitable habitat for Greater sage - grouse (a Colorado listed
species of concern).
The Property also contains a significant population of the extremely rare Harrington's
penstemon. Harrington's penstemon is a globally and state vulnerable plant species that is
restricted to Colorado and is found almost exclusively in sagebrush habitat. It is found in only 37
locations in Colorado, with the heaviest concentration centered in Edwards, Colorado. The
Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP), a sponsored program at Colorado State University,
tracks and stores information in a database on natural heritage elements (occurrences of
significant natural communities and rare, threatened or endangered plants and animals) in
Colorado. According to CNHP, the plant and its habitat are highly threatened by residential and
recreational development. These threats combined with its restricted range emphasize the urgent
need for its protection.
The Town intends to take the following actions to protect the Town's investment in wildlife
habitat (additional natural habitat management activities may occur as agreed to in writing by the
Town and EVLT):
Harrington's Penstemon: Maintenance, construction and management activities, which could
impact the Property outside of the existing trailheads and trail treads, such as the reroute of trails
and paths, should be planned to occur when Harrington's penstemon is in flower (usually June -
July), as it is difficult to identify when not in flower. While a rare and vulnerable plant,
Harrington's penstemon is believed to be found in Iarge quantities on the Property, in places far
outnumbering other types of more common penstemon. Such maintenance, construction and
management activities that occur outside the flowering season for penstemon should avoid
disturbance to any penstemon rosettes as these may very well be Harrington's penstemon.
The Town will conduct a biological inventory and mapping of Harrington's penstemon in the
planning stages for any trail reroutes or new trail alignments to ensure the locations of this
vulnerable plant species are preserved to the greatest extent possible.
Closures: Between December 15`h and April 15`h all portions of the Property shall be closed to
all uses to protect the Town's investment in sensitive wildlife species, except that PB &J, Our
Backyard, and Beaver Creek Overlook will be open year around. Closures may be adjusted by
EVLT and the Town in writing as required to protect the Conservation Values of the Property.
Additional closures pursued by the Town do not need the approval of EVLT. The goal of the
closure shall be that no humans or domestic animals enter any portions of the Property other than
those areas specifically excepted to the closure.
Date: ! ' �' '� 3
Dogs: Failure to comply with dog leash requirements presents the single largest threat to wildlife
on the Property. To protect the Town's investment in habitat and vegetation on the Property, pet
owners must obey all requirements of the Avon Municipal Code including seasonal closures.
Enforcement: The Town shall conduct periodic visits to the Property, at least monthly during
closure periods, to enforce the closures and leash restrictions contemplated in this Plan. In
addition, the town shall undertake the following enforcement actions:
• The Town shall install appropriate signage at the entrance to Wild West Ridge on the
June Creek Trail and elsewhere where necessary to prohibit trail usage during closure
periods. If signage is found ineffective, closure gates will be installed by the Town.
• Closure signs, at a minimum, shall be placed and maintained by the Town at the east and
west entrances to the Avon - Singletree connector, the northern entrances to Lee's Way,
Wyse Way, and Saddle Ridge Trails, and at the northernmost point where the social trail
from Wild Ridge intersects West Wild Ridge Trail.
• Upon failure of the general public to comply with seasonal wildlife closures, dog bans, or
leash rules the Town shall promptly increase enforcement personnel and install additional
signage and Iocking gates as needed to insure compliance. if compliance with the leash
regulation during the closure is not successful, then management options, such as closing
the Property completely during this period, will be considered.
Riparian Corridor: The Town shall protect and maintain the riparian features on the Property
from being degraded or negatively impacted by humans, flooding, wildlife, and any other
activities. Maintenance and enhancement of these areas will be performed in accordance with the
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Fence Removal: The Town shall remove the barbed -wire fence near the Wild West Trail as
soon as practicable.. Fence posts may be left in place at the Town's discretion.
Weeds: The Property is generally free of noxious weeds given its and nature. The Town shall
manage the Property to control noxious weeds to the extent reasonably possible. Town trained
staff, or third -party licensed commercial applicator, will complete any potential spraying
operations. Town staff will monitor the Property to ensure that weed control efforts are
successful and that new populations do not become established. Specific focus will be given to
detecting Colorado "A list" noxious weed species. "A List" species are plants that are newly
introduced to Colorado and represent a serious threat to ecological integrity and native
biodiversity. For these plants the management goal is total eradication. Under Colorado Law,
"B List" species must be controIIed and the Town shall ensure that "B List" species are
controlled.
C. TRAIL MANAGEMENT
The Town intends to employ sound management and land conservation practices to protect
Town's investment in sustainable trails and to ensure the trails and their use do not damage the
Town's investment in the Property's other Conservation Values.
Date __ 4
Trails shall be managed by the Town as follows:
Best Practices: The Town shall construct and maintain trails and paths throughout the Property
using current industry standard best practices, with the goal of protecting the Conservation
Values. Best practices include: utilizing trail design and revegetation techniques that ensure that
the scenic impacts to the Property are minimized; use of water bars, grade dips, grade reversals,
French drains, full bench construction, proper back slope grading, proper trail out slope, and use
of erosion control fabric (if the gradient is steeper than 2:1 slope), and straw waddles and bales to
sufficiently prevent erosion, sediment deposits and silting of creeks; avoidance of riparian areas;
reuse of removed vegetation for erosion mitigation and habitat; use of hand tools and small
machines, such as a 48" wide mini - excavator or Trail Dozer operated by a professional trail
builder; and restoration practices as further described below. Trails shall be closed to the public
until construction and maintenance is completed.
Maintenance: The Town shall construct and maintain trails and paths through the Property
using industry standard best practices, with the goal of protecting the Conservation Values and
preventing additional areas on the Property from being impacted by vehicle activities and social
trail development.
• The Town may rely upon volunteer groups trained in best practices (such as trained Vail
Valley Mountain Bike Association members) and projects to assist in the maintenance of
the trails.
• Any person working on the Property should be trained to recognize Harrington's
penstemon and any maintenance and construction activities shall make reasonable efforts
avoid impacts to Harrington's penstemon plants.
• Maintenance and construction shall not occur during the Property closure periods as
described above.
+ if any areas wider than the widths of the trails as described below are disturbed for trail
maintenance, the Town shall restore the ground as described herein.
• Heavy equipment should be avoided for trail maintenance and construction due to the
inherent impacts to the habitat and vegetation. Where heavy equipment is necessary for
trail maintenance, construction or reconstruction by the Town, the Town or its
representatives shall ensure that any damage to the Property created by the heavy
equipment shall be restored as described herein.
Trani Closures: Trails shall be closed if the Town or volunteer groups are unable to maintain the
trails adequately to prevent damage to any of the Conservation Values such as significant
wildlife habitat, vegetation, or water quality impacts. In such cases, the Town shall close the trail
immediately and communicate carefully with the community about the resource damage and
need for all interest groups to work together to resolve the issue. Any damage to the
Conservation Values must be repaired, the ground restored as described herein, and the source of
the damage remedied before the trail can be reopened.
Date: i Z 5
Decommissioning of Existing Trails: Any new social trails and short cuts shall be promptly
closed and the ground restored by the Town. It is intended that public use of the many social
trails on the Property will subside in favor of the sustainably built, well maintained, trails
contemplated by this Plan. The social trails shall be allowed to regenerate vegetation and ill in
naturally over the coming years due to disuse. Social trails, and areas unable to regenerate
naturally, will be restored as described herein by the Town. A Trail Advisory Group, convened
by the Town starting Fall, 2014 will develop restoration efforts for all social trails beginning in
2015. Closure signage will be installed as needed at the discretion of the Town.
Restoration: Restoration shall be according to current industry standard best practices including
relieving compaction, scarifying the surface to prepare the ground for seeding, and collecting and
scattering organic debris and the appropriate mixture of native grass seed and straw, and
providing erosion control measures including those noted in best practices above. The goal is to
make trails that are decommissioned invisible and revegetated with native cover. Reseeding
should occur at an appropriate time of year to encourage germination (typically spring time) and
a qualified botanist should review the seed mix to ensure it does not contain any non - native
grasses or forbs. To protect its investment in restoration activities, the Town should revisit
restored areas at in early and late summer to monitor the revegetation process and perform
appropriate restoration activities (including weed control and reseeding) until successfully
restored.
D. DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED PATHS AND TRAILS
In the spring of 2014, the Town and EVLT evaluated the expansion of a formal multi -use trail
system through a series of public meetings. Permitted trails and paths are those described below
and depicted in their general locations on Exhibit A. These trails and paths have been
determined by EVLT to be consistent with the protection of the Conservation Values. All trails
are of a natural surface (dirt, gravel and rock found on the Property). The following is a list of
the permitted paths and trails including approximate widths and mileage:
Social Trails. 2 miles. A series of social trails, approximately 18" in width, have existed on the
Property for several years. Due to a lack of formal planning some trails have steep grades and
are eroding.
Our Backyard. .89 miles. This is a multi -use loop trail, approximately 48" in width, that
begins and ends in the Beaver Creek Point Parking Area.
Avon- Singletree Connector (ASC). 2.36 miles. This is a multi -use trail, approximately 18 -36"
in width, that connects the SingIetree Access on the west side of the Property with Nottingham
Road on the east side.
Saddle Ridge. 1.98 miles. This is a multi -use trail, approximately 18 -36" in width, connecting
ASC with Lee's Way, Playground Way, and the Easy Loop trails. .
Beaver Creek Overlook. .41 mile. This is an existing multi -use trail, approximately 48 -60" in
width, that begins in the Beaver Creek Point Parking lot and ends at the terminus of Beaver
Creek Point. Improvements to this trail will likely include removing redundant duplicative trails
Date: �% fi
that have developed ( "decommissioning" as described above) and revegetating disturbed areas to
natural conditions. The Beaver Creek Lookout Trail may be improved with a crusher -fine surface
to the trail terminus. Except as needed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), the trail width should not exceed 36 inches and should remain natural surface to provide
(ADA) access. The trail improvement plans will be submitted to EVLT for review and approval
prior to implementation.
PB &J. 1.08 miles. This is a multi -use trail, approximately 24 -36" in width, that connects
O'Neal Spur Pocket Park with Saddle Ridge, Lee's Way, and Easy Loop trails.
Lee's Way. .93 miles. This is a multi -use downhiII directional only trail, approximately 24 -48"
in width, that connects Easy Loop, Playground Way, and Saddle Ridge with ASC and the
Nottingham Road Trailhead.
Wyse Way. 1.14 miles. This is a multi -use trail, approximately 18 -24" in width, that connects
ASC with PIayground Way trail. The riparian areas within the Masher Trail zone are particularly
important to protect from recreational over -use as well as construction impacts.
Carroll's Cutoff. .2 miles. This is a multi -use trail, approximately 18 -36" in width, within the
existing ASC trail boundary that connects the Iower bench of the Property (ASC on both sides)
in order to offer loop opportunities and a more gentle grade for beginner bicyclists or restricted
hikers.
BLT. .29 miles. This is a multi -use trail, approximately 36 -48" in width, within the existing
ASC trail boundary.
Wild West Ridge. 2.18 miles. This is a multi -use trail (expected completion Fall 2014)
connecting ASC with June Creek trail at the northwest corner of the Property. Because of this
trail's proximity to a riparian area, construction will utilize more extensive mitigation techniques
proven to prevent erosion and sediment deposit. Additionally, a bridge will be constructed to
cross June Creek, further minimizing any disturbances in the riparian environment.
E. TRAILHEADS AND PARKING AREAS
Trailhead, parking and improvements are permitted as described herein. Users will access the
Property from one of the identified trailheads and parking areas noted below.
Two (2), two (2) acre building envelopes are permitted by the CE allowing these new
improvements after notification of and consultation with EVLT: "trailhead facilities and
associated parking areas (including landscaping berms and landscaping), sheds, restroom
facilities, and accessory uses and structures." The location of the building envelopes must be
designated by this Plan (or in an update to this Plan) prior to constructing any improvements
within the building envelopes. As of this writing, the only building envelope identified by the
Town is the area surrounding the existing Beaver Creek Point trailhead, improved as described
below. Other improvements shall be agreed upon as required by the CE and this Plan.
Date: 7
No parking is allowed on adjacent residential streets including but not limited to: Saddle Ridge
Loop, Beaver Creek Point (except as may be permitted by the Town), or June Creek Trail. EVLT
shall have no obligation to enforce these requirements.
No current plans for restroom facilities exist. The Town will monitor use and the condition of
the trailhead areas to determine if a restroom facility is needed. The location of the restroom(s)
would be adjacent to the trailhead area(s) within Building Envelope(s) as described in the CE.
Prior to the construction of any restroom facilities on the Property, the Town and EVLT shall
update this Plan.
The Town shall maintain all improvements in good condition including the replacement of
dilapidated improvements, the replenishment of dog station bags, and the removal of trash.
Nottingham Road. This trailhead is not on the Property. It is located on a Town of Avon
Right -of -Way on the south side of the Nottingham Road cul -de -sac, approximately 750' west of
the intersection with Metcalf Road outside of the Property. This access point will be improved
to prevent or mitigate future debris flow issues that stem from hillside to the north. Signage will
be installed describing the "non- motorized" status of the trail and designating between 5 and 10
parking spaces along Nottingham Road right -of -way. If necessary, post and rail fence will be
instaIIed to prevent motorized vehicles from accessing the Property. Trail and parking signage
and trash receptacles will be provided in 2014.
Beaver Creek Point. This existing trailhead on the Property is accessed from the Beaver Creek
Point Parking Area, at the midway point of Beaver Creek Point Road. It accommodates b cars
and is surfaced with asphalt. The parking area is fully contained within the Building Envelope as
described in the CE. A split rail fence defines the area to avoid motorized access to the trail
system. Parking signage and trash receptacles are provided. Trail signage shall be provided in
2014.
O'Neal Spur Pocket Park. This trailhead is not on the Property and is located at the O'Neal
Spur Pocket Park at the intersection of Old Trail and O'Neal Spur roads in Wildridge. There are
existing on- street parking spaces and park facilities. This trailhead can be utilized to access new
trails including the Masher and Playground Way trails. It can also be a parking area if the 10'
recreation path contemplated in the CE is constructed to connect Wildridge with Nottingham
Road. Trail signage shall be provided in 2014.
Singletree Access. This trailhead is not located on the Property. In 2003, the Berry Creek
Metropolitan district purchased this property in order to provide access to the planned trail
network. This access point is located at 701 June Creek Drive on the eastern edge of the
Singletree Community in Eagle County. Split rail fence was installed to prevent motorized
vehicles from accessing the Property. Signage was also installed to notify trail users of its "non -
motorized" status. There are no current or planned parking spaces at this trailhead. Trail signage
shall be provided in 2014.
F. MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
The following is a list of the permitted minor improvements:
Date: C
Signage: Signage will include regulatory, educational, and directional signs, mainly in the
trailhead locations, with limited signage at trail intersections. The Town will develop, install and
maintain an effective trail signage system that is tasteful, unobtrusive to the natural landscape,
and consistent with size limitations stipulated in the CE (less than twelve square feet). The goal
is to provide a comprehensive coordinated sign program. Regulatory signs will essentially focus
on rules for using the Property. Directional signs with trail maps may be located on the Property
at trail intersections and key way - finding points. Educational signs and trail etiquette signs may
be concentrated at the trailhead, with limited signs along the trails at unique vantage points (i.e.
Beaver Creek Overlook terminus). Signage at trailheads and directional signs on the trail system
will be installed in 2014 after EVLT approval.
To foster appreciation of Harrington's penstemon as an important element of Colorado's natural
heritage, the Town shall provide interpretive signage (at all the trailheads noted herein) on the
ecology of the Harrington's penstemon (highlighting how the area is the core of Colorado's last
remaining population of the plant).
To educate the public and to justify the winter closure and dog ban, the Town shall provide
interpretive signage at all trailheads showing maps of the deer and elk winter range.
All signage costs shall be borne by the Town and shaII be completed by the end of 2015.
Trashcans: Wildlife -proof containers will be installed by the Town on the Property at the
Beaver Creek Point parking area and the Nottingham Road trailhead in 2014. The receptacles
will be emptied regularly by Town staff. Additional wildlife -proof receptacles will be added as
necessary based upon use and needs identified on the Property as determined by the Town.
Dog Bag Dispensers: It is anticipated that many users will visit the Property with dogs. Dog -
bag dispensers will be installed at each trailhead maintained by the Town.
Picnic Tables: The Town may place and maintain picnic tables on the Property at the terminus
of the Beaver Creek Overlook Trail. Tables will be situated in a manner that does not negatively
impact the scenic qualities of the Property.
Fences: If deemed necessary by the Town for management purposes, new fences and gates may
be constructed by the Town. The Town will insure that the fences meet standards established by
Colorado Parks and Wildlife designed to reduce wildlife entanglement risk. in all cases the
fencing will be split rail or buck and rail designs.
G. OTHER USES
Hours Open: Parking Lots will be open daily from 6am to IOprn. In addition to the closures
provided for herein, the Property may be closed as determined by the Town for maintenance or
to address wildlife or other matters affecting the Property. In the event of such additional
closures, the same shall be posted on the Property and no additional notice to EVLT shall be
required.

equipment, grass clippings, yard waste, sports equipment, firewood, toys, targets, tents, forts, and
trash. The Town will notify offenders that the activity is not permitted and will outline what is
expected of them to correct the situation. In the case the offenders are not identified, the Town
will mitigate the encroachment.
Utility Improvements: There are Third Party Easements affecting the Property. The terms of
those Third Party Easements shall control. No new utility improvements are contemplated at this
time. Future utility improvements may be allowed as contemplated by the CE.
Conservation Easement Monitoring: EVLT holds a CE on the Property. This will necessitate
annual monitoring. EVLT staff shall notify Town staff in advance of any annual monitoring
effort so that Town staff may accompany EVLT staff during the monitoring. Avon and EVLT
will maintain a file of annual easement monitoring reports and work cooperatively to address any
concerns associated with use and management of the Property.
Educational Programming: Educational activities on the Property are encouraged. These
activities may take many forms including guided hikes, school programs, and trail maintenance
and restoration workshops.
Special Uses: The Town anticipates that certain special uses will be requested by the public,
which are too numerous and wide - ranging to list in this Plan. Each request will be evaluated by
Town staff to determine if it will have detrimental impacts to the Conservation Values of the
