Monte Park of Sign Design approached the commissioners to present the colors and options for the signs. Ms. Bird, applicant, and Sharon Leveers, co-owner, discussed the lack of visibility of the current signs and thought the recommendation of staff does not provide full visibility. Ms. Bird mentioned the monument sign and the six tenants to use it, and that the building sign would be different from the monument. Monte mentioned the acrylic signage would be more obvious with internal lights and better visually through the foliage and setback. Ms. Bird also commented on the recommendation of staff for landscaping by the monument base and that there is sufficient landscaping at present. Commissioner Savage asked if the staffs recommendations were geared towards consistency and received a positive reply by staff. Monte responded to con-,missioner inquiry on specific coloring of the individual panels. Commissioner Trueblood believed the sign should be subtle and no? appear flashy or cheap. Commissioner Didier asked about the current lights and when they were due to be replaced and Ms. Bird responded that replacement occurs every two years or so and they were due to be replaced shortly.

Town of Avon Description: The public is invited to this special neighborhood meeting to provide input and feedback on the proposed update to the Town Comprehensive Plan. This is a special neighborhood meeting where the mapping and storyboards provided at the first public open house will be available for review and comment. Tambi Katieb presented the Comprehensive Plan to the commission and public. He requested input so that feedback can be brought back to the Steering Committee. Amy Phillips, Steering Committee member, asked if there were ideas generated at the last meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission at the Wildridge Fire Station meeting. Some ideas included use of Nottingham Lake for commercial projects. Commissioner Savage mentioned that the town offices and police station could be moved by trading the lake area to a piece of land in the Village creating a more active town center. The Vassar Meadow (part of swap) parcel was brought up regarding its zoning and its future. Brian Sipes, Steering Committee member and Town Councilman, discussed the West Avon parcel as open space. He also discussed using the Comprehensive Plan to direct the development of the Village of Avon for Magnus Lindholm. Mass transit and the movement of the public/traffic, with Vail used in the comparison, should be incorporated into the final plan. Integration of the population, tourist and local, needs to be considered as a local would drive and park, and visitors would access public transportation for its convenience. Brian Sipes thought a blend of pedestrian rights of way and cars are permitted but secondary. Finding the middle ground on transportation was considered necessary. Conversation continued with comparisons to Steamboat Springs, Aspen, Boulder, Lowry, and moving Avon towards a mesh of the development in these towns. Tambi Katieb gave insight to the process to finalization of the plan in order to work within the approved time guidelines. He requested continued input of comments regarding the plan, and informed those present of the schedule of meetings before adoption. IX. Other Business (Other business as may come before the Commission) X. Adjourn Commissioner Karow, made the motion to adjourn. Commissioner Trueblood seconded and the motion was unanimously approved. The meeting adjourned at 7:05 pm.
