The Village (at Avon) Final PUD – File #PUD18004 1
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Director
Meeting Date: September 11, 2018
Topic: PUBLIC HEARING and SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 18‐14, APPROVING A FINAL
PUD APPLICATION FOR THE VILLAGE (AT AVON) PUD
ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL
Action on Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment land use application for the Village (at
Avon) PUD.
OPTIONS
Approve Second Reading of Ordinance 18‐14, thereby approving the Final PUD Application.
Continue Second Reading to a future meeting, pending additional information
PROPOSED MOTION
“I move to approve Second Reading of Ordinance 18‐14, approving the Final PUD Application and
Record of Decision.”
SUMMARY
At the May 8, 2018 Avon Town Council meeting a Preliminary PUD application was conditionally
approved. A Final PUD application was subsequently submitted to respond to the Town Council’s
conditions of approval. The Final PUD went before the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 17,
2018.
First reading of Ordinance 18‐14 was heard at the August 14, 2018 Avon Town Council meeting.
Direction was provided to remove the minimum commercial square footage requirement and proceed
to finalizing the documents. There were also questions regarding the outdoor lighting standards and
the special review use process for Planning Area F; those items are addressed below. In addition to an
Ordinance (Attachment 1) drafted to approve the application, the Applicant’s narrative (Attachment
2), Planning and Zoning Commission materials (Attachment 3), and public comments (Attachment 4)
are attached for Town Council’s review.
LIGHTING STANDARDS
The lighting standards for development in the Village (at Avon) PUD are exhaustive and more
prescriptive than the Avon Municipal code. The lighting standards were updated in 2012 with the
assistance of an award‐winning lighting design specialist and deal not only with light fixture design,
but also light intensity and light quality. The lighting standards are found in Exhibit E of the PUD Guide,
and within the Design Review Guidelines for the Village (at Avon).
The Village (at Avon) Final PUD – File #PUD18004 2
SPECIAL REVIEW USE
As confirmed during the initial hearing, the Town of Avon Planning and Zoning Commission is the
review authority for all Special Review Uses in the Village (at Avon), including Planning Area F. The
review process, submittal requirements, and review criteria mirror that prescribed within the Avon
Municipal Code.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECORD OF DECISION
FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
FOR THE VILLAGE (AT AVON) PUD
DATE OF DECISION: September 11, 2018
APPLICATION TYPE: Final PUD
FILE NUMBER: #PUD18004
PROPERTY LOCATION: Lot 1, Filing 1, Village at Avon
APPLICANT/OWNER: Traer Creek-RP LLC
These findings of fact and record of decision for the application for an amendment to The Village (at
Avon) Amended and Restated PUD Guide, a major amendment to Final PUD, (“Final PUD
Application”), is made in accordance with Title 7 Development Code of the Municipal Code of the
Town of Avon (“Development Code”) §7.16.020(f):
FINAL PUD: The Avon Town Council hereby approves the Final PUD Application, with the following
Findings:
FINDINGS:
1. The Final PUD Application is eligible to be processed as a major amendment to an existing PUD
based on the eligibility requirements in Development Code § 7.16.060(h)(1)(iv) Major Amendment.
2. The Avon Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the Final PUD Application on
July 17, 2018, after posting notice of such public hearing in accordance with the requirements of
Development Code § 7.16.020(d), Step 4: Notice, and recommended conditional approval of the Final PUD Application citing conformance with the review criteria set forth in Development Code §§
7.16.020(f)(1) and 7.16.060(e)(4).
3. The Avon Town Council held public hearings on the Final PUD Application August 14, 2018 and September 11, 2018, and after posting notice of such public hearing in accordance with the
requirements of Development Code § 7.16.020(d), Step 4: Notice, considered all comments, testimony, evidence and the Town staff report to the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission prior to
taking action on the Final PUD Application.
4. The Final PUD Application meets the PUD Amendment Review Criteria in Development Code §7.16.060(h)(3) [which references and incorporates the review criteria in §7.16.060(e)(4)] as is more
particularly described in the Town staff report dated July 17, 2018, Findings of Fact and Record of
Decision of the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Final PUD Application narrative dated June 6, 2018, which documents and the findings contained in such documents are incorporated
herein by this reference (“Documents of Record”).
5. Compared to the existing The Village (at Avon) Amended and Restated PUD Guide (“Amended and Restated PUD Guide”) development standards for Planning Area F, the Final PUD Application and
modifications proposed for Planning Area F would not result in significant adverse impacts upon other properties as increases in density and building height in Planning Area F are mitigated by, among other items, minimum setbacks and maximum site coverage requirements, as well as
topographical considerations due to the proximity of the property to the I-70 corridor and steep rising
EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE 18-14
The Village (at Avon) Final PUD
Findings of Fact and Record of Decision: #PUD18004 Page 2 of 2
slope to the I-70 roadway and the distance from other developments in the vicinity of the subject property.
6. The Final PUD Application is substantially compliant with the purpose statements of the
Development Code by providing for the orderly, efficient use of the property subject to the Final PUD Application, while at the same time conserving the value of the investments of owners of property in
Town.
7. Increased residential density, along with reduced commercial land use, will result in increased pedestrian demand and usage in the area; therefore, wider sidewalks, bike lanes, pedestrian
improvements, and other street scape improvements that improve the connection of the subject
property to other parts of Town will mitigate the increased residential density. A wider streetscape and multi-modal network, compatible with other adjacent and planned east-west thoroughfares (i.e.
Future Main Street, existing Beaver Creek Boulevard) is warranted for the Planning Area F frontage with an appropriately sized right-of-way to facilitate these shifting trends in mobility. The proposed increased residential density on Planning Area F does not increase density in the overall Village (at
Avon) PUD and therefore does not result in adverse or increased impacts to public facilities and services other than stated above.
8. The Final PUD Application incorporates creative site design by allowing the potential development of
increased residential density and housing options in Planning Area F responsive to market demands, thereby increasing the choice of living and housing environments, while not increasing the overall
density of The Village (at Avon) and not increasing impacts to nearby properties.
9. The Final PUD Application promotes public health, safety and general welfare by expanding options and opportunities for housing development.
10. The Final PUD Application is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of the
Development Code, including all eligibility criteria for PUD applications as set forth in §7.16.060(b), as described in the Documents of Record.
11. The option and opportunity for increased residential density is compatible in scale with existing
commercial development to the east, planned school development to the south, and planned multi-family residential development to the west as well as compatible with other properties in the vicinity
of the subject tract.

govern.
(g)Planning Areas and Boundaries, Road Alignments, Lot Lines.
(i)The street and road alignments depicted on the PUD Master Plan
are either designated thereon as either permanent, temporary (not permanent and intended
to be replaced in the future) or conceptual alignments. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this PUD Guide, until such time as made permanent or temporary in
connection with an approved and executed Public Improvements Agreement, the
conceptual alignments are non-binding and provided only for illustrative purposes to
show one of various potential alignments and vehicular ingress and egress between
Planning Areas. The alignment of future temporary and permanent streets shall be
subject to review and approval by the Town in connection with subdividing the
applicable portion of the Property and submittal by the Applicant of engineered road
design plans, as set forth in Section G of this PUD Guide. The Applicant shall be required
to submit engineered road design plans for, and shall be required to construct, only the
portion of a street that is necessary to serve the phase and property subject to the
applicable Application, and the Applicant shall not be required to extend or continue such
street beyond the Property Line of the Site that is the subject of the applicable
Application provided that such street terminates in a turn-around, cul-de-sac or like
termination (temporary or permanent, as applicable) to permit emergency vehicle turn-
around in accordance with the requirements of the Development Code. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if such street is depicted on the PUD Master Plan to extend and continue
further than such phase and property subject to the Application and connect to existing or
5
1650530.6
future planned street(s), such Applicant shall submit as a part of its Application
Preliminary Engineering for the planned extension and continuation of the subject street
which is sufficient to demonstrate that the alignment and grade of the construction of a
portion of the street shall be adequately designed to allow extension and continuation of
the subject street in compliance with applicable road, utility and drainage standards.
(ii)Planning Area boundaries shall be construed as follows:
(i)whenever a Planning Area abuts an exterior boundary of the Property, the Planning
Area shall be construed to coincide with such exterior boundary of the Property;
(ii)wherever a street abuts a Planning Area as shown in the PUD Master Plan, the
Planning Area boundary shall be construed to coincide with the center line of such
abutting street; and (iii)wherever a Planning Area contains or otherwise does not abut a
street or the exterior boundary of the Property, the Planning Area boundary shall be as
shown in the PUD Master Plan.
(h)Issuance of Building Permits; Design Review Board Certification.
(i)Provided an Application for issuance of a building permit (or
grading permit, etc.) complies with the Town’s Building Code (as defined in the
Development Code) and the Development Plan, the Town shall issue such building
permit (or grading permit, etc.) for any construction, improvements or alterations of a
Building, Structure or other form of development requiring a building permit (or grading
permit, etc.) for which the plans, specifications and details have been reviewed and
approved by the Design Review Board as defined herein. A certificate of approval
executed by the President of the Design Review Board shall be affixed to the plans and
specifications made a part of each building permit, grading permit, temporary certificate
of occupancy, permanent certificate of occupancy, etc. Application prior to the Town’s
approval thereof. To facilitate efficient review and approval of building permits (grading
permits, etc.), the Town’s building department may accept for processing a building
permit (or grading permit, etc.) concurrently with such Applicant’s submittal of plans,
specifications and details to the Design Review Board for review and approval of such
permit; provided, however, the Town shall not approve any Application for a building
permit (or grading permit, etc.) or temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy
unless a certificate of Design Review Board approval is affixed thereto as required by this
Section A.4(h)(i), such issued certification of Design Review Board approval being an
express condition precedent to the Town’s approval of any Application for a building
permit (or grading permit, etc.) or temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy.
(ii)Additionally, the Design Review Board certification shall
affirmatively state the Design Review Board’s confirmation, and the Director shall
confirm, an Application’s compliance with the supplemental design and improvement
standards set forth in Section I.9 prior to issuing a building permit for construction of a
Building designated for Hotel, Motel and Lodging Uses within Planning Area J.
6
1650530.6
5.Applicability of Other Regulations.
(a)General. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Development
Plan, the establishment of Vested Property Rights pursuant to the Development Agreement shall
not preclude the application on a uniform, non-discriminatory and consistent basis of Town
regulations of general applicability (including, but not limited to, building, fire, plumbing,
electrical and mechanical codes, the Municipal Code, and other Town rules and regulations), or
the application of state or federal regulations, as all of such regulations existed on the Original
Effective Date or may be enacted or amended after the Original Effective Date; provided,
however that such newly enacted or amended Town regulations shall not directly or indirectly
have the effect of materially and adversely altering, impairing, preventing, diminishing,
imposing a moratorium on development, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting any of Master
Developer’s, Developer Affiliates’ or other Landowners’ substantive or procedural rights set
forth in the Development Agreement, this PUD Guide or any approved Final Plat for any portion
of the Property. Neither Master Developer, Developer Affiliates nor any Landowner waive their
right to oppose the enactment or amendment of any such regulations.
(b)Modifications and Exceptions. As set forth in Sections F through I of this
PUD Guide, certain provisions of the Municipal Code either are superseded in their entirety by
this PUD Guide or apply within The Village (at Avon) but are subject to the modifications set
forth in such sections. Additionally, the provisions of the Municipal Code which are set forth in
Exhibit G of this PUD Guide are, without limiting any other present or future regulations or
provisions of the Municipal Code which have similar effect from being similarly excepted,
specifically identified as provisions that directly or indirectly have the effect of materially and
adversely altering, impairing, preventing, diminishing, imposing a moratorium on development,
delaying or otherwise adversely affecting Master Developer’s, Developer Affiliates’ or other
Landowners’ rights (whether Vested Property Rights or other right) set forth in the Development
Agreement, this PUD Guide or any approved Final Plat for any portion of the Property, and
therefore shall not be applicable within The Village (at Avon) PUD.
6.Conflict. The Development Standards and other terms, conditions and criteria set
forth in the Development Plan shall prevail and govern the development of The Village (at
Avon). Where the Development Plan does not address a specific subject, the applicable
provisions of the Municipal Code shall, to the extent such Municipal Code provisions are not in
conflict or otherwise inconsistent with any provision of the Development Plan, control the
development of The Village (at Avon). Additionally, application of such Municipal Code
provisions shall not directly or indirectly have the effect of materially altering, impairing,
preventing, diminishing, imposing a moratorium on development, delaying, or otherwise
materially adversely affecting any of Master Developer’s, Developer Affiliates’ or other
Landowners’ Vested Property Rights set forth in the Development Plan. Provisions of the
Design Review Guidelines which are more restrictive than either the Development Plan or the
Municipal Code shall prevail in any instance where there is a conflict.
B.TOTAL PERMITTED DENSITY. The total permitted density for The Village (at
Avon) PUD shall not exceed:
7
1650530.6
1.Planning Areas A, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, RMF 1 and RMF 2 shall not
exceed:
(a)Commercial Uses.
825,000 consolidated Gross Square Footage of Commercial Space.
(b)Dwelling Units.
2,400 Dwelling Units. Pursuant to the terms of the Affordable Housing
Plan, 500 of the 2,400 Dwelling Units shall be constructed as affordable
housing,and, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
the Affordable Housing Plan, an additional 23 of the 2,400 Dwelling Units
shall be constructed as affordable housing.
2.The permitted Commercial Use and Dwelling Unit densities within Planning Area
I shall be determined in the future pursuant to the formal amendment procedures set forth in
Section H of this PUD Guide; provided, however, the permitted Commercial Space for Planning
Area I shall not be less than 196,970 consolidated Gross Square Footage (which shall be in
addition to the 825,000 square feet of consolidated Gross Square Footage stated in
Section B.1(a)), and the permitted Dwelling Units shall not be less than 750 Dwelling Units.
The Town acknowledges that Planning Area I is entitled to be developed as mixed-use
development, and Uses may include Residential Uses, Commercial Uses, and public and
institutional uses at densities in addition to those set forth above as approved by the Town. Until
such time as a secondary access road is constructed, no non-Residential Uses shall be allowed
and the maximum density of Dwelling Units shall not exceed 280 Dwelling Units.
3.Density calculations, as applicable, for development of Dwelling Units within all
Planning Areas where Residential Uses are permitted shall be based on the gross acreage within
the applicable Planning Area as reflected in the land use table contained in the PUD Master Plan.
Density calculations shall be on a Planning Area by Planning Area basis rather than on a Final
Plat by Final Plat basis or on a Site by Site basis.
4.Subject to the requirement that the maximum number of Dwelling Units within
any particular Planning Area, as applicable, shall not exceed that permitted under the terms and
conditions of this PUD Guide, as applicable, the actual number of Dwelling Units per acre within
a particular Final Plat or Site within the affected Planning Area may exceed the maximum
number of Dwelling Units per acre based on the acreage within such Final Plat or Site. By way
of example, in a Planning Area containing 20 acres and subject to a maximum residential density
of 18 Dwelling Unit per acre (i.e., a total of 360 Dwelling Units), a 10 acre Site within that
Planning Area would be permitted to be developed with 300 Dwelling Units (i.e., 30 Dwelling
Units per acre) but the remaining 10 acres could be developed with no more than 60 Dwelling
Units, with the resulting density within such Planning Area in the aggregate being 18 Dwelling
Units per acre (i.e., (300 + 60 = 360 Dwelling Units) / 20 acres = 18 Dwelling Units per acre).
5.Density calculations for development of Residential Uses within Planning Areas
A through I, RMF 1 and RMF 2 shall exclude areas with slopes exceeding 40%.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, areas with slopes exceeding 40% created by the placement of dirt
8
1650530.6
stockpiles shall not be excluded for density calculations for development of Residential Uses
within Planning Areas A through I, RMF 1 and RMF 2.
6.At final build-out of the particular Planning Area, the following minimum and
maximum ratios of consolidated Gross Square Footage of Commercial Space and consolidated
Gross Square Footage of Residential Uses, stated as a percentage of the aggregate Gross Square
Footage the Planning Area [e.g., Gross Square Footage of Commercial Space ÷ (Gross Square
Footage of Commercial Space + consolidated Gross Square Footage of Residential Uses) =
percentage of Gross Square Footage of Commercial Space], shall apply within the following
Planning Areas:
Planning Area Residential Commercial
Min%Max%Min%Max%
Planning Area A 30% 80%20% 70%
Planning Areas C and D 90%100%0% 10%
Planning Area F 70%100%0% 30%
Planning Areas G and H 0%50%50%100%
7.Although classified as a Commercial Use, Accommodations Units (including
those within Bed and Breakfasts, Extended Stay Hotels, Hotel, Motel and Lodge, Temporally
Divided Dwelling Units, Vacation Homes and similar Commercial Uses) are considered
Dwelling Units for purposes of Dwelling Unit calculation and tracking and are considered
Residential Uses for purposes of Section B.6.
8.In calculating the number of Dwelling Units within The Village (at Avon):
(a)Each Single-family Dwelling shall be counted as one (1)Dwelling Unit.
(b)Each Duplex Dwelling shall be counted as two (2)Dwelling Units.
(c)Each Dwelling Unit in a Multi-family Dwelling shall be counted as one
(1)Dwelling Unit.
(d)Each Primary/Secondary Structure or Structures situated on the same Lot
shall be counted as two (2)Dwelling Units.
(e)Each guest bedroom within a Bed and Breakfast shall be counted one-third
(1/3)of a Dwelling Unit.
(f)Each Temporally Divided Dwelling shall be counted as one (1)Dwelling
Unit.
(g)Vacation Club shall be counted as one (1)Dwelling Unit.
9
1650530.6
(h)Group Home shall be counted as one (1)Dwelling Unit.
(i)Accommodation Units in a particular Hotel, Motel and Lodge Use shall be
counted as the greater of (X)one-third (1/3)Dwelling Unit for each Accommodation Unit within
such Use (any resulting fractional number of Dwelling Units shall be rounded up or rounded
down, as applicable, to the next whole number); or (Y)in accordance with the following
calculation:
(i)The aggregate Gross Square Footage of all of the Accommodation
Units within the applicable Hotel, Motel and Lodge Use, but specifically excluding
hallways, lobby and reception areas, stairwells, elevator areas, landings and
entranceways, mechanical areas,public restrooms, permanently designated corridors,
public lobbies, common mall areas and all other areas exterior to the individual lodging
rooms (the “Lodging Square Footage”), shall be measured and calculated.
(ii)The Lodging Square Footage shall be divided by 1,800 square feet,
and the result of such calculation shall be the number of Dwelling Units attributable to
such Hotel, Motel and Lodge Use. Any resulting fractional number of Dwelling Units
shall be rounded up or rounded down, as applicable, to the next whole number. [In
example, the Lodging Square Footage of a Hotel, Motel and Lodge Use having 50
Accommodation Units each measuring 650 square feet of Gross Square Footage and 50
Accommodation Units each measuring 850 square feet of Gross Square Footage is
75,000 square feet of Gross Square Footage ((50 X 650) + (50 X 850) = 75,000). Such
Hotel, Motel and Lodge Use shall be counted as 42 Dwelling Units (75,000 / 1,800 =
41.67 (rounded to 42)).]
9.The President of the Design Review Board shall submit a Dwelling Unit and
Commercial Space report to the Town along with its certificate of Design Review Board
approval for each development proposal approved by the Design Review Board. This report
shall be a detailed statement by Planning Area of the number of Dwelling Units and amount of
Gross Square Footage of Commercial Space within The Village (at Avon) to ensure that the total
permitted density for The Village (at Avon) PUD is not exceeded.
10.Commercial Space is any Building which is intended to be used, rented or leased
for a Commercial Use, except as expressly excepted in Sections B.10(a)and B.10(b)below.
(a)The following Uses shall not be considered Commercial Space:
(i)Lodging Uses, including without limitation, Bed and Breakfast,
Hotel, Motel and Lodge, Accommodation Units, Extended Stay Hotel, Temporally
Divided Dwelling and Vacation Club;
(ii)Residential Uses;
(iii)Group Home;
(iv)Short term rentals;
10
1650530.6
(v)Employee housing; and
(vi)Uses which the Director determines to be similar.
(b)For purposes of calculating the total amount (in square feet) of
Commercial Space permitted pursuant to this PUD Guide, Commercial Space shall be Gross
Square Footage that is available for leasing to a tenant, with the following additional
qualifications:
(i)The following types of facilities operated for public activities shall
not constitute Commercial Space: (1)schools, and (2)except to the extent such facilities
exceed an aggregate of 200,000 consolidated Gross Square Footage, unless the Town has
consented to construction of such excess Gross Square Footage, Religious Facilities,
skating arenas, cultural and community centers and facilities, and recreational centers and
facilities.
(ii)In office Buildings, retail Buildings, Hospital Buildings, long-term
care facilities and other medical facilities including, but not limited to clinics, group and
congregate care facilities, independent and assisted living facilities and nursing homes,
hallways, lobby and reception areas, stairwells, elevator areas, landings and
entranceways, mechanical areas, public restrooms, permanently designated corridors,
public lobbies, and common mall areas shall not constitute Commercial Space for
purposes of calculating the total amount (in square feet) of Commercial Space permitted
pursuant to this PUD Guide unless actually leased to an individual tenant.
(iii)In Lodging Uses, hallways, lobby and reception areas, stairwells,
elevator areas, public restrooms, permanently designated corridors, landings,
entranceways, meeting and banquet rooms and facilities, sundries shops, breakfast shops
and other shops intended to cater primarily to Lodging Uses guests shall not constitute
Commercial Space for purposes of calculating the total amount (in square feet) of
Commercial Space permitted pursuant to this PUD Guide, but retail areas intended to
cater primarily to non-Lodging Use guests and full-service Restaurants shall constitute
Commercial Space for such purposes.
(iv)In any Building, parking areas and Parking Structures shall not
constitute Commercial Space for purposes of calculating the total amount (in square feet)
of Commercial Space permitted pursuant to this PUD Guide.

provisions of Section H.1 above shall apply to all formal amendments of this PUD Guide.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an Applicant from voluntarily choosing to apply for a
formal amendment, or from appealing to Council or the courts the Director’s determination of
eligibility for administrative amendment and/or denial of a request for an administrative
amendment.
3.Administrative Amendments.
(a)Intent; Determination of Applicable Amendment Procedure. The intent
of this Section H.3 is to provide a simplified amendment procedure for minor modifications to
this PUD Guide. As used herein, the term “minor modifications” means an Application meeting
the criteria stated Section H.3(b)(i)through H.3(b)(vi)below, which shall be processed as an
47
1650530.6
administrative amendment application, and an Application meeting the criteria stated in
Section H.3(b)(vii)below, which may be processed as an administrative amendment application
in the discretion of the Director.
(b)Qualifying Administrative Amendments. An Application for
administrative amendment that complies with (I)the specific criteria for approval set forth in
Sections H.3(b)(i)through H.3(b)(vi)below, as applicable, shall be processed and approved
administratively, and shall be entitled to a presumption of compliance with the general criteria
for approval set forth in Section H.3(b)(vii)below; or (II)the general criteria for approval set
forth in Section H.3(b)(vii)below may be processed and approved administratively:
(i)Density Allowance. Provided the aggregate number of Dwelling
Units within Planning Areas A, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, RMF 1 and RMF 2 does not exceed
2,400, a ten percent (10%)increase in the number of Dwelling Units allowed within any
Planning Area stated herein.
(ii)Road Alignments. Changes to public or private street locations,
internal circulation design/pattern or traffic capacity of the overall road network within
the Property that has been approved by the Town and which may require a conforming
amendment to this PUD Guide shall be processed and approved administratively.
(iii)Public Improvements. Amendments to the Development
Agreement, if any, that affect the scope of Public Improvements may require a
conforming administrative amendment to this PUD Guide, if the revision affects
Development Standards for a particular Site or Planning Area.
(iv)Subdivision Related Changes Affecting Development Plans. If
the Town approves any Preliminary Plan or Final Plat that incorporates any subdivision
related element that is inconsistent or conflicts with any Development Standard or other
element of this PUD Guide, including without limitation, any modifications to street
extension(s) and/or street alignment(s) (including without limitation, elimination of the
Required Street Connections), any conforming amendment to this PUD Guide that may
be required shall be processed and approved administratively. Examples of subdivision
related elements that may require a conforming amendment to this PUD Guide include,
without limitation, lot line locations, right-of-way locations, internal public or private
roadway locations, emergency access locations, utility locations, vacations, Planning
Area boundaries, Building Envelope locations and/or areas, and other similar elements.
Such conforming amendments shall apply only to the specific Lot(s) or Planning Area(s)
affected by the Preliminary Plan or Final Plat the approval of which necessitated the
conforming amendment. Any proposed elimination of a Required Street Connection that
is not processed and approved in connection with a Preliminary Plan or Final Plat shall be
subject to the formal amendment process set forth in Section H.2.
(v)Planning Area Boundaries and Lot Lines. With the written
consent of the Master Developer, an Applicant may amend the PUD Master Plan to
increase or decrease the size of any Planning Area to conform the PUD Master Plan to an
approved Final Plat or Application therefor that is being processed concurrently with
48
1650530.6
such PUD Master Plan amendment. In addition, with the consent of the Master
Developer, an Applicant may amend the PUD Master Plan to relocate or otherwise
modify Lot lines and Planning Area boundaries and locations due to site planning or
engineering considerations that are not directly associated with an approved or in-process
Final Plat or other Application. The foregoing PUD Master Plan amendments and any
other conforming amendments to this PUD Guide (to the extent that such modifications
are necessary or desirable in connection with such PUD Master Plan amendments) shall
be processed and approved administratively so long as the size of largest affected
Planning Area is not increased or decreased by more than 10 percent. [e.g., if Planning
Area X is 30 acres and Planning Area Y is 10 acres and abuts Planning Area X, Planning
Area X (being the larger of the two planning areas) may be increased by three acres (30

EXHIBIT I
Section 7.16.070 of Development Code
7.16.07 Subdivisions.
The purpose of the subdivision review procedures is to ensure compliance with all the standards and
requirements in this Development Code and encourage quality development consistent with the goals,
policies and objectives in the Comprehensive Plan.
(a)Applicability. The procedures of this Section and the standards in Chapter 7.32, Engineering
Improvement Standards, shall apply to all subdivisions or re-subdivisions that result in the portioning,
dividing, combining or altering of any lot, parcel or tract of land, including land used for condominiums,
apartments or any other multiple dwelling units or creation of an estate in airspace, except any
subdivisions that are specifically excluded by state law. If a tract of land that has been created or
subdivided in the past is later described as a single tract in deeds or plat by the legal or equitable owners,
any later subdivisions of that tract, even if along the lines of the earlier subdivision, shall be subject to the
requirements of these regulations. If any tract of land or airspace has been subdivided as one (1)type of
subdivision and thereafter is subdivided so as to create a different type of subdivision (for example,
conversion of a condominium subdivision to a timesharing subdivision), the conversion shall be subject to
the requirements of this Development Code. Unless the method of disposition is adopted for the purpose
of evading the requirements of the Development Code, this procedure shall not apply to any division of
land that:
(1)Is created by a lien, mortgage, deed of trust or any other security instrument;
(2)Is created by any interest in an investment entity;
(3)Creates cemetery lots;
(4)Creates an interest or interests in oil, gas, minerals or water that are severed from the surface
ownership of real property;
(5)Is created by the acquisition of an interest in land in the name of a husband and wife or other
persons in joint tenancy or as tenants in common of such interest. For the purpose of this Paragraph,
any interest in common owned in joint tenancy shall be considered a single interest;
(6)Creates a leasehold interest with a term of less than twenty (20)years and involves no
change in use or degree of use of the leasehold estate;
(b)Subdivision Categories. Categories of subdivisions are established and defined as follows for the
purpose of determining the appropriate subdivision review procedure:
(1)Major Subdivision. Major subdivisions include all subdivisions which would create four
(4)or more separate parcels of land or which would require or which propose public improvements.
(2)Minor Subdivision. Minor subdivisions include all subdivisions which would create less
than four (4)separate parcels of land, subdivisions which do not require or propose public
improvements, subdivisions which consolidate two (2)or more lots into a single lot in a previously
recorded subdivision plat and subdivisions which move any lot lines by more than two (2)feet; but
shall not include subdivisions which are administrative subdivisions. Condominiums and timeshare
I-2
subdivisions more than four (4)units which do not propose public improvements shall be processed
as minor subdivisions.
(3)Administrative Subdivisions. Administrative subdivisions are subdivisions which include
dividing a parcel of land for a duplex, subdivisions for the purpose of correcting survey errors,
condominium and timeshare subdivisions up to four (4)units and subdivisions which adjust lot lines
by two (2)feet or less and which do not change the number of lots. The Director shall have the
authority to determine that an administrative subdivision application shall be processed as a minor
subdivision where the character of the subdivision application or multiple applications presents issues
which warrant review and approval by the Town Council. All administrative subdivisions are exempt
from notice requirements outlined in Subsection 7.16.020(d).
(c)Review Procedures. Applications for a subdivision shall follow the general review procedures set
forth in Section 7.16.020, General Procedures and Requirements. Applications for subdivision must be
initiated by the owner of the real property. The Director may combine preliminary plan and final plat
review where the subdivision application can be reviewed efficiently and effectively with a combined
process. Where subdivision approval will be required to implement development in a proposed PUD, the
applicant shall file a single preliminary plan incorporating the application requirements of both the PUD
and subdivision preliminary plans. The provisions and procedures for public notice, hearing and review
for a PUD as prescribed in the Development Code shall apply to the application.
(d)Review Authority. The review authority for a subdivision application shall be determined by the
subdivision category.
(1)Major Subdivision. Major subdivisions shall be required to obtain approval for a
preliminary plan and for a final plat. The PZC shall review a preliminary plan for a major subdivision
application and shall provide a recommendation to the Town Council after conducting a public
hearing. The Town Council shall render the final decision on a preliminary plan for a major
subdivision application after conducting a public hearing. The Town Council shall review the final
plat for major subdivision applications and render a final decision after conducting a public hearing.
The preliminary plan and final plat for major subdivisions shall be approved by resolution or
ordinance of the Town Council.
(2)Minor Subdivision. Minor subdivisions shall require final plat review and approval only
where no public improvements are proposed; however, the review criteria for a preliminary plan shall
apply to review of minor subdivision final plats in addition to the review criteria for a final plat. The
Town Council shall render the final decision on a minor subdivision application after conducting a
public hearing. Minor subdivisions shall be approved by resolution or ordinance of the Town
Council.
(3)Administrative Subdivisions. Administrative subdivisions shall require final plat review and
approval only; however, the review criteria for a preliminary plan shall apply to review of
administrative subdivisions in addition to the review criteria for a final plat. The Director shall
review and render decisions on administrative subdivisions. A decision of the Director may be
appealed to the Town Council pursuant to Section 7.16.160, Appeal.
(e)Preliminary Plan Review Criteria. The reviewing authority will use the following review criteria
as the basis for recommendations and decisions on applications for preliminary plan subdivision
applications:

Re: Final PUD Amendment - Village at Avon Planning Area F Amendment
Dear Matt:
This letter is intended to supplement the application for Final PUD amendment to Planning Area F, in The
Village (at Avon). Town Council approved the preliminary PUD amendment on May 8, 2018. The proposed
final amendment is consistent with the approval and all of the conditions imposed by the approval.
The submittal includes the following materials:
•Application form
•Agreement to pay application and processing fees
•Disclosure of ownership
•Authorized representative form
•Certified property owners list
•Addressed and stamped envelopes for public notice mailing
•Notice of Public Hearing
•Letter from the applicant summarizing the proposal
•Document addressing review criteria
•Traffic analysis for changes to Planning Area F
•Revised PUD Guide containing the proposed amendments to the PUD (“Revised PUD Guide”)
Below is a summary of the proposed changes:
Building Height. Consistent with the Town Council’s approval with the Preliminary PUD
amendment, the applicant is proposing an increase in maximum building height from 48’ to 58’ for residential
and vertically-integrate mixed use projects. The number of stories for these buildings is also being limited to
four stories above finished grade where a story is defined as the space in a building between two adjacent
floor levels or between a floor and the roof. Please see the Revised PUD Guide for those changes. Two
additional mitigating measures are also proposed:
•New Setback: For any structure taller than 48’, a proposed building setback of 40’ from Post
Boulevard and a building setback of 100’ from the future “Main Street.” The current setback is 25’.
ATTACHMENT 2
2
This was to address the issue of buildings taller than 48’ crowding the street. The intent is also to
create a transition of building height from the south end of Planning Area F to the north end.
• New Building Coverage Standard: A new standard changing the building coverage/building
footprint standard from 80% of the site to 50% of the site. The provision addressed the site being
overcrowded with buildings and applies to all buildings on the property regardless of height.
Density in Planning Area F: Consistent with the Town Council’s approval with the Preliminary
PUD amendment, the applicant is proposing an increase in residential density from 18 units per acre to 22
units per acre. The change represents a shift in density within the PUD as there is no proposed increase to
the approved overall density within the PUD which is capped at 2,400 total dwelling units.
Commercial/Residential Allocation in Planning Area F: Planning Area F is currently
restricted to a maximum of 50% of the floor area developed as residential. The commercial floor area allowed
can be 100% of the floor area. The proposed amendment seeks to reverse that, allowing 100% of the floor
area to be residential and allowing up to 30% of the floor area developed as commercial, but not required.
There is a requirement that for each 150,000 sq. ft. of residential floor area, there shall be provided at least
1,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor area within Planning Area F.
The proposed language includes this trigger for minimum commercial floor area. However, the
applicant would prefer to eliminate the trigger for minimum commercial floor area requirement.
Typical Right-of-Way Sections and Transit Stop Locations in Planning Area F:
The applicant has provided new and revised right-of-way sections that may apply to the redevelopment of
“Main Street” within the PUD. There are three sections provided that reflect different development
scenarios (presence of onsite parking, presence of a bus stop, presence of a center turn lane, etc.). Also
included is a map showing the potential locations of transit stops adjacent to Planning Area F.
We look forward to working with you through the hearing process with these proposed final amendments.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

The Village (at Avon) Final PUD Amendment
Planning Area F
Narrative and Review Criteria
June 6, 2018
Narrative:
This analysis and narrative is being provided intended to supplement the application materials for the Final
PUD Amendment for The Village (at Avon) PUD, Planning Area F. The Preliminary PUD amendment was
approved with conditions on May 8, 2018. This application is consistent with the preliminary approval and
addresses all of the conditions imposed by the Town Council.
As you are probably well aware, this PUD has been in place for 20 years, and amended in November of 2012
as part of a settlement agreement between the applicant, the Town of Avon and a total of more than 15
parties, that was implemented on August 1, 2014. The amendments proposed are not a drastic departure
from the overall intent and density allowed in the PUD. These refinements are intended to react to market
conditions and the changes nationally in the retailing sector. Locally, we all know that there is a lack of
residential inventory, especially on the valley floor and in multiple-family formats and at multiple price points.
This has created enormous demand for residential units. Planning Area F, given its context and proposed
density, will attract a more urban product that will in large measure address housing for locals in the area.
The proposed changes do not affect the total density of the PUD nor the total commercial floor area. The
amendment just allows the density and commercial floor area to be shifted on the valley floor. The valley
floor will still be anchored on the east end with the existing retail buildings and in the future by Planning Area
A and the existing Chapel Square and “West Avon” commercial core. As a higher density residential
development area, Planning Area F will help bring life through new patrons and customers to help all of
Avon improve economically. You don’t have to spend much time in Avon to see that local retailers are
struggling to survive with the lack of residential density in the Town. This amendment could help add over
600 beds to the core region of the Town, improving local revenues and Town coffers.
Review Criteria:
Below the applicant has addressed the PUD amendment review criteria as a supplement to the materials
previously provided. You will note that the criteria is written as if one is proposing a new PUD and asking
for a rezoning. In this case, the proposed amendments have little impact on the overall PUD as the density
and intent of the development, overall, is not being amended. The proposed changes are minor in the overall
scope of the PUD. Additionally, the PUD was found to be consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan.
As has been previously agreed to by the Town and as adopted in the settlement agreement, the regulating
Comprehensive Plan is the plan adopted in 1996 which calls for this area to be an urban center.
1. The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the Town, and/or incorporates creative site design such
that it achieves the purposes of the Development Code and represents an improvement in quality over what could have been
accomplished through strict application of the otherwise applicable district or development standards. Such improvements in
quality may include, but are not limited to: improvements in open space provision and access; environmental protection;
tree/vegetation preservation; efficient provision of streets, roads, and other utilities and services; or increased choice of living and
housing environments.
ATTACHMENT 2
2
Applicant Response:
The proposed amendments do not significantly change the PUD’s conformance with this criterion as the
overall quality of the PUD is unchanged.
Broadly, the PUD provides for a large-scale, master-planned mixed-use development. The uses, dimensional
limitations and development standards, among other matters, set forth in the PUD will provide for flexibility
in the development of The Village (at Avon) and will encourage innovative and coordinated development and
design, consistent with Section 7.16.060 of the Development Code. The PUD provides for a mix of
integrated uses and public facilities and amenities, including natural open space, community and pocket parks,
trail and pedestrian connectivity, a diverse housing mix and retail and commercial services for The Village (at
Avon) and the Town as a whole. The Declaration of Master Design Review Covenants for The Village (at
Avon) and The Village (at Avon) Design Review Guidelines provide for high quality design with respect to
the built environment and preservation of open space and existing vegetation.
The PUD Amendment does not increase the overall permitted density within the Village, rather there is a
reallocation to allow for more dwelling units within Planning Area F to respond to the current market
conditions. This amendment addresses a unique situation in that it allows for more residential product
responsive to the market. The PUD Amendment results in more efficient use of existing streets, roads and
other utilities and services, as well as increased choice of living and housing environments. This PUD
amendment will allow for a residential product that will generate additional tax revenues including property
tax revenues to the Town of Avon (as well as to the Village metropolitan district), real estate transfer fees,
building permit fees and other revenues to the Town and metropolitan district. In addition, all of the added
benefits to Avon that accompany residential communities would apply, including more patrons frequenting
all of Avon’s restaurants and other retail establishments including shopping at from local shops to City
Market and Wal-Mart, as well as benefiting local employers with the potential of additional employees in close
proximity to employment centers.
The proposed application complies with this criterion.
2. The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety and general welfare.
Applicant Response:
The proposed amendments do not significantly change the PUD’s conformance with this criterion as the
overall impacts of the PUD are unchanged.
The existing PUD was found to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community and
the amendments proposed do not change this overall condition. The amendments do promote this criterion
by increasing the choice of living and housing environments and opportunities within the Town without new
impacts being generated since the overall density and intensity of development within the PUD is unchanged.
Overall, traffic impacts associated with Planning Area F are decreased with the proposed amendments.
The proposed application complies with this criterion.
3. The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of the Development Code and the eligibility
criteria outlined in Section 7.16.060(b) of the Development Code.
ATTACHMENT 2
3
Applicant Response:
The proposed amendments do not significantly change the PUD’s conformance with this criterion as the
PUD as a whole was found to meet the eligibility criteria and found to be consistent with the Avon
Comprehensive Plan. In this case the operative comprehensive plan is the plan adopted in 1996.
The proposed amendments allow the PUD to maintain its compliance with the Avon Comprehensive Plan
because the amendments promote urban center design goals of shifting density to developed areas adjacent to
commercial services.
The eligibility criteria are not applicable to this PUD amendment. The proposed amendments will produce
public benefits by allowing residential density to be shifted to Planning Area F and reducing the amount of
commercial development planned 20 years ago on this parcel due to changes in the retail market and the
internet market place. The amendments will modify the restrictions on this property allowing it to be
developed for higher density residential uses thus potentially producing new and better housing opportunities
for local employees.
The proposed application complies with this criterion.
4. Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electric, police and fire protection, and sewage and waste
disposal) will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing development.
Applicant Response:
The proposed amendments do not significantly change the PUD’s conformance with this criterion as the
PUD as a whole was found to address all of the issues raised by this criterion. Since the proposed
amendments do not increase the overall density and intensity of development within the PUD, there are no
greater impacts to the facilities and services raised here. Additionally, we have provided a traffic analysis
focused on Planning Area F which shows that traffic will decrease with the proposed amendments.
The proposed application complies with this criterion.
5. Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon the natural
environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially
mitigated.
Applicant Response:
The proposed amendments do not significantly change the PUD’s conformance with this criterion as the
PUD as a whole was found to address or mitigate all of the issues raised by this criterion. Since the proposed
amendments do not increase the overall density and intensity of development within the PUD, there are no
greater impacts to the issues raised here.
The proposed application complies with this criterion.
6. Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon other
property in the vicinity of the subject tract.
Applicant Response:
The proposed amendments do not significantly change the PUD’s conformance with this criterion as the
PUD as a whole was found to address or mitigate impacts to property in the vicinity of the existing PUD.
The change in building height is not a change producing any type of “significant adverse impact” upon
neighboring properties. Planning Area F is at a great distance to any adjoining property that might be
ATTACHMENT 2
4
affected by the additional 10’ of building height. The additional height is mitigated by this great distance, as
well as the back drop of the hillside and I-70. Additionally, the introduction of a 50% site coverage limitation
and the proposed 100’ building setback from the south end of Planning Area F also helps to reduce the
potential bulk and mass of future development in the planning area.
The proposed application complies with this criterion.
7. Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or potential future uses on the other properties in the
vicinity of the subject tract.
Applicant Response:
The proposed amendments do not significantly change the PUD’s conformance with this criterion as the
PUD as a whole was found to address compatibility in scale with uses on other properties within the vicinity.
The change in building height still allows the PUD to remain compatible in scale with uses in the vicinity.
Additionally, the introduction of a 50% site coverage limitation versus 80% also helps to reduce the potential
bulk and mass of future development in the planning area and allowing it to be compatible with uses within
the vicinity.
The proposed application complies with this criterion.

Beaver Creek Boulevard (i.e. future Main Street) for any structure, or portion thereof, which
exceeds 48’ in height shall be increased to 100’, structures shall be limited to 4 total stories
above grade, and Applicant shall propose language for review and consideration by Town to
define stories and above grade.
STAFF RESPONSE: The Village at Avon PUD Guide (Exhibit B) includes the applicable setbacks
for structures that could be in excess of 48’. The Village at Avon PUD Guide also includes a new
definition limiting buildings to four stories above finished grade.
ii.Density shall be increased to 22 residential units per acre.
STAFF RESPONSE: The density has been increased to 22 units per acre for Planning Area F.
iii.Applicant shall propose language for review and consideration by Town which requires 1,000
sq. ft. of commercial floor area to be developed as a condition of receiving a certificate of
occupancy for each 150,000‐sq. ft. of residential floor area.
STAFF RESPONSE: The commercial floor area requirement has been incorporated on Pages 8
and 9 of the PUD Guide.
b.Amendments to Village (at Avon) PUD Guide, Appendix F, Illustrations 7 and 8, to revise the Urban
Local Road, Main Street (eastern segment) to be commensurate with Town of Avon Road
Standards and depict a 78’ minimum right‐of‐way incorporating 6’ wide minimum sidewalks on
each side of the road, 4’ bicycle lanes, 6’ landscape buffers, and potential for on‐street parking
and/or vehicle turn lanes and 12’ bus pull offs for residential development that exceeds 18 units per
acre.
STAFF RESPONSE: The Street Standards for Main Street’s eastern segment are updated to
illustrate a 78’ alternative with on‐street parking/bus stops, bicycle lanes, landscape buffers, and
sidewalks.
c.Applicant shall prepare for Town review a complete updated The Village (at Avon) PUD Guide to
replace and supersede the existing The Village (at Avon) PUD Guide.
STAFF RESPONSE: Incorporated and attached as Exhibit B to this staff report.
3)A transportation plan with a little more detail on planning for transportation stops and how it would
integrate into the transportation plan.
STAFF RESPONSE: Conceptual bus stop locations are incorporated in the Village at Avon PUD Guide
for areas abutting the north and south property lines for Planning Area F. No bus stop(s) is feasible
or anticipated on Post Boulevard.

July 17, 2018 PZC Meeting – Village at Avon Final PUD /Major Amendment 4
Public Hearings
The July 17, 2018 meeting completes the public hearing requirements with the PZC. As noted, the Council
will make the final decision on this preliminary PUD after holding an additional public hearing. The mailed
notification outlines the following anticipated meeting schedule:
July 17, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission
August 14, 2018 Town Council (First reading of Ordinance)
September 11, 2018 Town Council (Second reading of Ordinance)
PUD Review Criteria
Pursuant to Avon Development Code §7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, PZC shall consider the following
criteria when forming the basis of a recommendation:
(i) The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the Town, and/or incorporates
creative site design such that it achieves the purposes of this Development Code and represents an
improvement in quality over what could have been accomplished through strict application of the
otherwise applicable district or development standards. Such improvements in quality may include, but
are not limited to: improvements in open space provision and access; environmental protection;
tree/vegetation preservation; efficient provision of streets, roads, and other utilities and services; or
increased choice of living and housing environments.
(ii) The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;
(iii) The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of this Development
Code, and the eligibility criteria outlined in §7.16.060(b);
(iv) Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electric, police and fire
protection, and sewage and waste disposal, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property
while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing development;
(v) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse
impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife,
and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated;
(vi) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse
impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; and
(vii) Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or potential future uses on other
properties in the vicinity of the subject tract.
STAFF RESPONSE: Staff finds no detrimental effects on the public health, safety and/or general
welfare with changing density, commercial mix, or building height, on one portion of the development.
Additionally, the Application should not result in significant adverse impacts upon the environment.
The increase in scale (height) is generally compatible with other existing and future potential uses in
the vicinity. This compatibility is also a consequence of the natural and manmade buffers, existing
regional commercial uses in the vicinity, as well as a high level of development potential on areas of
Planning Area C to the west. The additional setbacks from “Main Street” and Post Boulevard for
buildings that could exceed 48’ help maintain appropriate buffers.

July 17, 2018 PZC Meeting – Village at Avon Final PUD /Major Amendment 5
During the Preliminary PUD application review, the Avon Town Council requested additional traffic
information to understand impacts with change in use from mixed use to majority residential. A trip
generation report was produced to asses traffic volumes with current and proposed mix of uses. The
report (Attachment C), while cursory in nature, demonstrates less traffic with the potential change in
development pattern for the Planning Area. A detailed study would be required by the Town Engineer
at the time of development.
Options for PZC Action
The Planning and Zoning Commission has the following options for action: 1) continuance, if additional
information is necessary; 2) recommend approval as submitted; 3) recommend approval with conditions;
4) recommend denial.
Recommended Motion and Findings
“I hereby recommend that the Avon Town Council Approve the Final PUD Amendment, File #PUD 18004,
together with the following findings:
1. The Application is in conformance with the Preliminary PUD conditions of approval.
2. Sufficient information is provided to determine that the development application complies with the
relevant review criteria.
3. The Application demonstrates compliance with the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive
Plan.
4. The Application is in conformance with Avon Development Code Section 7.16.060(e)(4), Review
Criteria, as outlined in the applicant’s written response to the review criteria.
5. Compared to the underlying development standards for Planning Area F, the Application is not likely
to result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity.
6. Future uses on Planning Area F will be compatible in scale with potential future uses on other
properties in the vicinity.”

I am writing regarding the upcoming planning and zoning commissions hearing for the property listed above.
I have lived on Eaglebend Drive for over 26 years. What is being proposed, I can only disapprove of. The increased
amount of units, all of which are now being just residential, the height increase allowed, etc I totally oppose. The
increase of foot traffic in our neighborhood will only increase with this development, not to mention the amount of road
traffic, vandalism (which has increased immensely over the past couple of years, and noise.
I am unable to attend the scheduled meeting for this, but I hope the council members take my letter on the merit in
which it is written.

Subject: Planning Area F, Village at Avon
Hello Matt:
I would like to ask that you please forward this email to Planning and Zoning, as well as the Avon Town
Council. I will be away for the 7/17/18 public hearing.
I am an owner in receipt of notice of the requested change to Planning F within Lot 1 of the Village at
Avon. The changes are extremely puzzling to me, and I do not know why the Town would consider
them. They are in complete contradiction to all of the work within Avon’s master plan which advises that
height and density should be primarily in the Town core, with height and density lessening towards the Town’s perimeter. That is good development 101. Picking a spot away from the Town core and putting density and height there without having any knowledge of the plans for what will be between the Town core and this
perimeter area is ad hoc and goes against the grain of all planning expertise. The only good reasons to grant
such a request would be if the Town gained one or more benefits from the approval, which is the minimum that
should happen for the Town to even be thinking of it. Ideas that come to mind:
1.Commitments for other planning areas showing logical progression of height and development.
2.Development fees.
3.Affordable housing.
4.Needed infrastructure.5.Commitment to design review guidelines (isn’t this project exempt for whatever illogical reason?)
In absence of a pros/cons analysis that tips in the Town’s favor, I see no justification for approving this
height. We look in a vacuum on what development could occur here next to two story residential
buildings. Let’s do whatever we can to salvage the hodge podge that exists in Avon, let’s make future development and our Town the best it can be. The residents and property owners deserve this consideration from you. Please stand firm against this illogical and ill advised proposal.

Avon Planning and Zoning Commission
RE: Traer Creek, Area F
Dear Planning Commissioners,
This letter is to reiterate the points I made at the April 10th Town Council meeting as well as a follow up letter on
May 8th. As a commercial real estate broker who has handled approximately $70m worth of leasing and sales
transactions in the town of Avon over the last five years, I believe any commercial development in the mid-valley
is unnecessary at this time, and for the foreseeable future.
There is currently approximately 120,000 square feet of vacancy in the mid-valley. The clear majority of that is
within Avon, and those are spaces ranging in size from 500 to 20,000 square feet. The town core, east, and west
areas all contain high vacancy rates. The depth to this market is very thin by normal standards, with perhaps one
or two prospects at any one time looking for space. Adding additional square footage will likely sit vacant or
cannibalize the existing space that we have.
We need to bring more residents to Avon, and the way to do that is with increased residential density. I believe
the increased residential will help fill the existing vacancies. Requiring unviable commercial development will
provide no economic benefit to the town and will likely stall or prohibit much needed residential development.
When more residential has been developed in the Village and other areas of Avon, then it would probably make
most sense for valley floor commercial to be built on planning Area A next to Chapel Square, and closest to the
existing core. Please support the Traer Creek Area F proposal.
Best Regards,

Dear Avon Planning and Zoning Commission,
I’d like to provide my comments on the Amendment to the Village at Avon Final PUD
Application.
I am opposed to amending the maximum height on Planning Area F to 58 feet because it
would be too tall for the neighborhood. As I’ve commented before, the comprehensive
plan contemplates that the tallest buildings in Avon will be located in the West Town
Center, and heights should diminish with distance from the West Town Center. A 58
foot building on F would be 10 feet taller than the maximum height allowed on C and D,
adjacent parcels which are closer to the West Town Center. The parcels adjacent to F
across East Beaver Creek Boulevard and Post Boulevard have maximum heights of 35
feet, so a 58 foot building would be 23 feet taller than those neighboring buildings. A 58
foot building will stick out like a sore thumb in this neighborhood.
I would also like to remind P&Z that this property will not be subject to any Town design
review process and will be exempt from many of the provisions of the Avon Municipal
Code that would help ensure good development on this parcel. Exhibit G to the
Amended PUD Guide provides an extensive list of Avon Municipal Code sections that
don’t apply to the Village at Avon, including:
Impact Fees: Avon will get no additional funds to help mitigate the additional impact on
its bus service, recreational facilities, police protection, roads, etc., arising from the
additional density on this parcel. Avon should deny this amendment unless it gets
additional funds to help mitigate the impacts of the additional height, density and
residential development permitted on this parcel.
Design Review and Design Standards: Avon will have little to no control over the design
of this taller, denser development. Avon should deny this amendment unless this parcel,
with greater heights, density and visual impacts, is required to go through Avon’s design
review process.
Outdoor Lighting Standards: This taller building will not have to comply with the
outdoor lighting standards. Avon should deny additional height on this parcel unless the
improvements on F are required to comply with Avon’s outdoor lighting standards.
Approval of any Special Review Uses: Avon will have no say if the Village at Avon’s
own design review board decides to grant any special review uses on this parcel.
Consequently, the developer could install a wireless telecommunication tower on the top
of this taller building or could allow a gas station on the corner of this residential
development as its commercial component, both of which are special review uses on this
parcel. These uses would fly in the face of P&Z’s desire for this parcel to activate the
streetscape and add vibrancy to this neighborhood.
I also don’t see any public benefits to the Town for approving this PUD Amendment.
The applicant claims that the amendment will provide more customers and employees for
1
ATTACHMENT 4
local businesses. If this was a public benefit, then any residential development would
meet the requirement of a public benefit. Residential development does not pay for itself,
especially in the Village at Avon, which would pay the Town only a tiny amount of sales
tax revenues generated from this property, and no transfer tax revenues, or
accommodation tax revenues. There is no guarantee that these residential units will be
small enough or affordable enough to be attainable by local residents. These residential
units could be targeted to second homeowners who might only stay in them a few weeks
a year, providing few benefits to Avon, but adding greater impacts on Avon’s services
and infrastructure.
I find it ironic that the Applicant wants to amend the PUD to reflect current market
conditions, but doesn’t allow the Town of Avon to use its current Comprehensive Plan to
determine the compatibility of the requested changes with the Town’s own master plan.
If this Applicant wants changes to the PUD, then it should agree that those changes need
to be compatible with the Town’s current Comprehensive Plan, not the 1996
Comprehensive Plan.
I would suggest that any increased density on Planning Area F, reduce density in the
Village at Avon mountain lots. The Applicant claims that density should be placed on
the valley floor, so let’s have a corresponding reduction of density in the more delicate
environment of the mountain lots.
Also, be very careful with the changes the Applicant is trying to make to the PUD Guide.
For instance, I don’t see why stairs, hallways balconies, storage areas, mechanical rooms
and elevators should be deleted from residential square footage. I also don’t see why
commercial square footage of 1,000 square feet for every 150,000 square feet of
residential square feet needs to be added in only 1,000 square foot increments. If there is
at least 150,000 square feet of residential square footage, then any additional residential
square footage should accrue a proportional amount of commercial square footage. The
Town gave away the farm when it approved this development. The Settlement
Agreement only made it worse. Please don’t make this development any worse for the
Town than it already is. This is Avon’s opportunity to get some public benefit from this
development.
The Village at Avon development has taken advantage of this community and has been a
drain on our community’s resources. This dysfunctional development uses litigation as a
weapon, and often chooses to fight rather than fulfill its obligations. The Village at
Avon development failed to pay Avon for municipal services, leading to a lawsuit with
the town. The Village at Avon development failed to reimburse Corum for expenses it
incurred on the developer’s behalf to complete Buffalo Ridge, leading to a lawsuit with
Corum. The Village at Avon developer insisted on building its own water tank which has
subsequently failed, leading to more litigation. With every new twist and turn of this
development, more and more costs must be subsidized by the citizens of this valley. I
would recommend denying any amendment to the Village at Avon PUD unless the
Town of Avon gets something material and immediate in return.

Dear Planning and Zoning Commission:
I oppose Traer Creek-RP LLC’s Final PUD Amendment for Planning Area F in the Village
at Avon.
The developer attempts to gloss over your required Findings by saying that this
amendment for Planning Area F is just a tiny part of the behemoth PUD and therefore you
need not hold strictly to your code. This is incorrect. Read your criteria closely and you’ll
see that your Findings cannot be found.
Finding (i) – “The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the
Town and/or incorporates creative site design such that it achieves the purposes of this
Development Code and represents an improvement in quality over what could have
been accomplished through strict application of the otherwise applicable district or
development standards. Such improvements in quality may include, but are not limited
to: improvements in open space provision and access; environmental protection; tree/
vegetation preservation; efficient provision of streets, roads and other utilities and
services; or increased choice of living and housing environments.”
What “unique situation”, “substantial benefit” or “creative site design” is being achieved through this PUD Amendment? I see none.
There are plenty of issues and problems with the Village at Avon PUD that could be solved, or partially solved, through this Amendment; remember that the town
has no design review in the Village at Avon, nor does the town receive any taxes or impact fees from the Village at Avon. P&Z must recommend to Council that
Avon receive a “substantial benefit” in exchange for approving this Amendment, for example, that Avon’s (not Traer Creek’s own) design review and design
standards be implemented in the PUD or at least on Planning Area F.
Finding (ii) – “The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety and general
welfare.”
Where is there any promotion of “the public health, safety and general welfare”
within Planning Area? I see none.
The developer is proposing densities as high as we have at Eagle Bend
Apartments and Buffalo Ridge Apartments, both essential affordable housing projects in Avon. These densities are only justified if Planning Area F is to be an
affordable housing project.
1
ATTACHMENT 4
2
Also, the developer tries to justify increased density by saying that Planning Area F
is proximate to transportation routes; if it is proximate to the town and county bus that is only because the Town and the County are paying for the
transportation. Don’t forget that Traer Creek was supposed to pay for bus service
to and through its PUD but it has never done so.
Lastly, it’s an absurd notion that the Traer Creek PUD can be treated like it’s a
developer’s grab-bag of density among 2,400 dwelling units and that, as long as
they do not ultimately exceed the 2,400 d.u. cap, then they should be allowed to do
whatever they want. Reject this absurd notion and instead demand a master
development plan.
Finding (iii) – “The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the
purposes of this Development Code and the eligibility criteria outlined in
Subsection 7.16.060(b).”
The PUD Amendment is very clearly not consistent with the 2017 Avon
Comprehensive Plan.
Having 58’-heights way out on Planning Area F is not in accordance with the
town’s Built Form goals and policies set forth in the Comp Plan; under the Comp
Plan, these “highest heights” are to be reserved for the town’s core. In addition, allowing 58’ on Planning Area F will serve as a slippery slope to allow increased
heights throughout the Village at Avon; remember that parcels surrounding Planning Area F have a maximum height of 48’ and 35’.
In addition, under the Comp Plan density at 22 dwelling units per acre is not
appropriate out on Planning Area F.
Finding (iv) - "Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas,
electric, police and fire protection and sewage and waste disposal, as applicable) will be
available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service to
existing development."
Do not forget: the Traer Creek water tank still sits abandoned, un-usable and in
complete disrepair, waste and nuisance. You must recognize that Traer Creek’s
broken water tank is a huge burden on our whole valley and its hydrology system –
one that the Town of Avon, including P&Z, is enabling by not enforcing its own
development code!
Traer Creek continues to drag Eagle River Water & Sanitation District through the
courts, at huge taxpayer expense, instead of simply causing the water tank to be
fixed. The water tank was promised to our whole community years ago… the soils, tank pad and tank failed Memorial Day weekend 2015, and yet this developer has
refused to abide by its warranty to ERWSD and make its subcontractors fix the tank. Without a usable water tank, there is no way P&Z can make Finding No. 4 in
accordance with your development code.
2
ATTACHMENT 4
3
Finding (v) – “Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result
in significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise,
storm water management, wildlife and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially
mitigated.”
The developer is fond of pointing to the Traer Creek PUD as a whole (especially in grabbing density for Area F within the ambiguously-allocated 2,400 d.u. maximum)
and so I urge you to similarly look at the PUD as a whole. Granted the corner where Planning Area F is not the most compelling “natural environment” within the PUD,
nonetheless the air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife and vegetationof eastern Avon must be considered.
Finding (vi) – “Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to
result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject
tract”.
Planning Area F will undoubtedly have a ripple effect on other properties in the
surrounding area and so you must reject the height, density, and commercial/residential square footage ratio at this point.
Finding (vii) – “Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or
potential future uses on other properties in the vicinity of the subject tract.”
Be especially aware of the Special Review Uses that are allowed on Planning Area F
which are under the control of Traer Creek’s design review board, not the town.
Also, as discussed above, allowing 58’-heights here on Ara F will serve as a
slippery slope to allow increased heights throughout the Village at Avon; remember
that parcels surrounding Parcel F have a maximum height of 48’ and 35’.
Remember that Traer Creek has never submitted a master development plan and so we
are left with this ad hoc approach which will result in poor development. You, the Planning
& Zoning Commission, have an absolute obligation to enforce the town’s development

code and therefore I urge you to vote to Recommend Denial of this application by Traer
Creek for Planning Area F.

RE: Village at Avon – Avon, Colorado
Dear Town of Avon Council Members:
It’s my understanding that on August 14 you will be considering an amendment to the Village
at Avon PUD to allow increased residential density on one of the planning areas (F) and
reduction, if not removal of, the requirement for commercial floor area in this planning area.
I have been in conversations with the property owner about developing a luxury multi-family
community (likely rentals but possibly also some for-sale product) on a portion of the
property. My group has developed rental multi-family projects in various markets around the
country and I am currently in the process of constructing 6 West, a partially deed-restricted
rental apartment community in Edwards. This property will have 120 units on approximately
six acres of land, and I’m hoping to develop another project here in Avon.
Increasing or reallocating the density to this parcel in the Village at Avon is important to
allow the land owner to have flexibility with multi-family products, and to give the property
ultimately developed on this parcel a better chance of being successful in today’s market. The
need for multi-family housing in Eagle County is well documented, while the demand for
additional retail space has declined significantly over the last several years in Avon as well as
many other markets around the country.
Based on my knowledge of the local market, and current construction costs in the valley, it’s
my belief that requiring commercial space at this property would likely be a “deal killer” for
any developer. The real estate market in Avon will simply not support additional commercial
retail space - we all know there is currently an over-supply. If that requirement is imposed I
would not be able to move forward with discussions on this property due to the risks involved
with developing more commercial floor area in Avon that is likely to sit vacant for the
foreseeable future.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: David McWilliams, AICP, Town Planner
Meeting Date: September 11, 2018
Topic: PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION 18‐13, APPROVING A MINOR PUD AMENDMENT
APPLICATION FOR LOT 38 AND 39W BLOCK 4 WILDRIDGE PUD
ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL
Before Council is action on Resolution 18‐13, approving a Minor PUD Amendment Application for Lot
38 and 39w Block 4 Wildridge PUD.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
“I move to approve Resolution 18‐13, thereby approving a Minor PUD amendment application for Lot
38 and 39w Block 4 Wildridge PUD.”
BACKGROUND
The properties are currently allowed to be built with one (1) duplex each, and a shared access drive
between Lot 39A, Lot 39B, and Lot 39W. The application seeks to allow for two (2) single family homes
on each property, with a shared access connection. The density remains at four (4) total dwelling units
for the properties.
PZC REVIEW
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on August 21, 2018. They voted with
unanimous recommendation to approve the Application, with a modification to the building
envelopes. The staff report to PZC includes a thorough analysis of the mandatory review criteria for
Council to consider when reviewing and acting upon this Application. While staff’s vetting of the
application resulted in a recommendation for continuance, staff is satisfied that the PZC’s
recommendation properly addresses concerns including:
The position Lot 38B was not deemed to be visually obtrusive due to the glass ceiling
A fire truck turnaround would be required even without the inclusion of Lot 38 in the shared
access drive
Disturbed area appears to be diminished by this proposal, especially on steep slopes
The visual effect of the buildings is diminished by the duplex split
OPTIONS
Continue Public Hearing, pending additional information.
Approve Resolution 18‐13, thereby approving a minor PUD amendment application to Lot 38
and 39w Block 4 Wildridge PUD.

Staff Report – Minor PUD Amendment
August 21, 2018 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Introduction
Bobby Ladd, the Applicant, is requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment (the
Application) to modify the allowed building types, for Lot 38 and 39 W, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
(the Property). The application also proposes access to the properties, via a shared drive, from Lot 39 E
to the east of these properties. Currently, two (2) duplexes, with independent driveways from the street,
are permitted by‐right. The Application would amend the zoning to change the allowed building type
to construct four (4) single‐family‐detached structures on re‐subdivided lots.
Current Conditions
Lot 38 and 39 W are currently undeveloped, zoned PUD and are included in the Wildridge Subdivision.
The PUD Plat contains a Land Use Summary table indicating the number of units entitled for each
individual lot. Lot 38 is shown as entitled for two (2) units in the form of one (1) structure. Lot 39 was
originally entitled for four (4) units in the form of two (2) duplexes or a fourplex. One duplex is currently
built on Lot 39 A and B, leaving a remaining two (2) units available for Lot 39 W.
Picture showing the two properties. The lot to the left of 39W has a duplex with a driveway behind the units, in
line to connect to the other properties.
Process
Minor PUD Amendment Process
According the Avon Development Code, a proposed PUD amendment is considered minor if it meets the
following criteria for decision and has been determined as such by the Director:
(A) The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the amount of nonresidential land use

or significantly alter any approved building scale and mass of development.
(B) The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the
intent and integrity of the PUD.
(C) The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of open space or result in
a change in character of any of the open space proposed within the PUD.
This application is processed under §7.16.060(h), Amendments to a Final PUD, AMC. Subsection (1)(ii),
sets forth criteria for a Minor Amendment, while subsection (2)(ii) sets forth the review procedures for
the same process. The application, as submitted, meets the criteria for a Minor Amendment. While the
application is not eligible for processing as a Wildridge Lot Split PUD Amendment, due to the proposal
including more than one duplex property, those criteria are also considered in this evaluation.
Public Notification
In compliance with the Public Hearing and noticing requirements, a mailed notice was provided to all
property owners within 300’ of the property. Additionally, a notice was published in the Vail Daily
newspaper on August 10.
Public Hearings
The August 21, 2018 meeting accomplishes the public hearing requirement for PZC review. The Council
will make the final decision on this Application after holding one more public hearing and acting on a
Resolution. The Town Council hearing is scheduled for September 11, 2018.
Property History
These properties were proposed to be amended to allow for six (6) single family detached homes with platted
open space in 2015, and a driveway in a similar location as what is proposed today. The application was denied.
Lot 39 A and B were subsequently developed with a by‐right duplex and a rear driveway, and subdivided from
Lot 39 W, which now has rights to a duplex.
Proposed PUD Amendment
The Application includes a narrative, response to the mandatory review criteria, and preliminary site and
building design plans showing a likely development concept. This Application requests to create four (4)
separate lots of record that each would be permitted one (1) single‐family‐detached structure (Attachment
Sheet A0.0, page 9 and 10) with the following constraints:

*indicates the maximum ridge line height no matter how tall the building is.
Approval of this request would supersede the existing entitlements on the lots and would allow one (1) single‐
family‐detached structure on each new lot.
The Application includes easements amended from the standard
Wildridge easements of ten (10) foot front Snow Storage,
Maintenance Easement, and seven and one‐half (7.5) foot side yard
drainage and utility easements. A completed drainage and utility
easement between properties would be required before subdivision.
Proposed setbacks vary between properties and would maintain a
minimum of twenty (20) feet between any of the structures. Lot 38B is
of note because it is tucked so far into the corner, far from the expected
development pattern under existing zoning. Lot 38 will have 15’ internal
setbacks and a 30’ setback from Lot 37.
Staff Analysis
The current development rights allow a single‐family or duplex structure on each lot. Staff encourages PZC
to view this application in two separate pieces for both lots: the shared driveway component, and the split
duplex component. Staff finds a mix of advantages, disadvantages, and unclear elements of the proposed
PUD Amendment, including:
Advantages:
Decreased building footprint and envelope through self‐imposed restrictions resulting in increased
open space/ undevelopable area.
One driveway cut may be safer on this stretch of steep and windy road and may reduce grading.
The division of the duplexes may provide for less prominent building forms and more compatible
design.
The “glass ceiling” may serve to limit visual prominence of the buildings.
This plan maximizes building development on the least steep land on the sites (Attachment page
20).
Disadvantages:
The application proposes a high section of Lot 38 B for development. While staff recognizes that
the new proposed setbacks are more restrictive than the current ones, the practical difficulties of
building in this location without the PUD amendment allowing for a shared drive seem prohibitive.
Due to the length of the shared drive, a fire truck turn‐around will be required thus disturbing more
area on lot 38 A and B. Additionally, the length of shared driveway requires a wider driveway profile,
and resultant retaining walls that could exceed existing development right patterns.
The duplex split for both properties is proposed in part as a way to create a smaller visual effect of
the buildings, but the proposed minimum distance between buildings (and the conceptual design

The proposed driveway component still requires extensive retaining walls, driveway cuts over 30
degrees, and disturbed areas to build houses.
Unclear Elements:
Staff required the applicant show a site plan demonstrating the infeasibility of conforming with the
current PUD regulations (Attachment, sheet A0.3). While staff does not doubt the sincerity of the
attempt, those forms are hard to judge against the proposal.
Staff is uncertain that the difference in disturbed areas that would result in the duplex splits
proposed in this application are substantial, especially for the proposed Lot 39 C and D.
(Attachment, Sheets A0.1 vs A0.2)
PUD Review Criteria
Pursuant to §7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, AMC, the PZC shall consider the following criteria when
forming the basis of a recommendation:
(i) The PUD addresses a unique
situation, confers a substantial benefit to
the Town, and/or incorporates creative site
design such that it achieves the purposes of
this Development Code and represents an
improvement in quality over what could
have been accomplished through strict
application of the otherwise applicable
district or development standards. Such
improvements in quality may include, but
are not limited to: improvements in open
space provision and access; environmental
protection; tree/vegetation preservation;
efficient provision of streets, roads, and
other utilities and services; or increased
choice of living and housing environments.
Staff Response: The stated purposes of §7.04, Development Code, AMC, and §7.16.060, PUD, AMC, includes
statements regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan; regulating intensity of use;
avoiding increased demands on public services and facilities; and providing for compatibility with the
surrounding area, among other statements.
PZC should carefully weigh if the application provides compatible building layouts with the surrounding
area. The surrounding area is predominately single‐family and duplex development, without shared access,
and driveway profiles that (with the exception of Lot 37, pictured to the east of Lot 28 on the first page of
this staff report) limit retaining walls and / or disturbance by developing only high enough to capture views
and provide safe ingress and egress onto the abutting roads.
The request for one curb cut from Lot 39B indeed results in less site disturbance between the structures.
Lot 39 A and B were not serendipitously built with the driveway in the rear, but to accommodate the general
development pattern proposed in this application. Staff would have preferred incorporating the process
planning for Lot 39 A and B with these neighboring lots, and now struggles to see that this application
addresses a unique situation other than one of the applicant’s own making. Building on steep lots in
Wildridge has been a reality for the subdivision’s entire history. Further, the current development standards
seem to serve the properties as well or better than the proposed, especially with the proposed envelope of
Lot 38B, and the 20‐foot minimum distance proposed between buildings.
Attachment 3
5August 21, 2018 PZC Meeting – 5032 and 5040 Wildridge Road East PUD Amendment
The PUD amendment does not increase demands on public services. Other applicable development
standards (parking, design standards, access requirements) would remain intact.
(ii) The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;
Staff Response: While the proposed development standards seem more restrictive than the existing,
combined with the site constraints, staff is unsure that the PUD amendment results in a design that will
promote the public health, safety, and general welfare to the same degree of the original PUD.
(iii) The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of this
Development Code, and the eligibility criteria outlined in §7.16.060(b);
Staff Response: The proposed
PUD amendment is part of an
established PUD, and is therefore
not subject to the eligibility
criteria or Public Benefit
requirements outlined in
§7.16.060(b). Staff finds this
application generally compliant
with the purposes of the
Development Code, including, (a)
Divide the Town into zones,
restricting and requiring therein the
location, erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration and use
of buildings, structures and land for
trade, industry, residence and other
specified uses; regulate the
intensity of the use of lot areas;
regulate and determine the area of open spaces surrounding such buildings; establish building lines and
locations of buildings designed for specified industrial, commercial, residential and other uses within such areas;
establish standards to which buildings or structures shall conform; establish standards for use of areas adjoining
such buildings or structures.
The site is in the Northern Residential District (District 11 of the Comprehensive Plan), which states in its
overview, “due to the limited number of existing trees and shrubs and the open character of the property,
special care should be taken to ensure that all structures are compatible with one another and in harmony
with the natural surroundings.” This district includes Planning Principles that encourage open space
preservation, sidewalks, and to, encourage and support development that:
• Prohibits significant alteration of natural environment as well as ridgeline and steep slope development. This
area should be highly sensitive to visual impacts of improvements, wildlife preservation, and lighting.
Staff does not doubt the physical limitations of building driveways and houses on these steep lots, but is
hesitant to find that the PUD amendment improves the compatibility of the structures, harmony with the
surroundings, or diminishes the alteration of the natural environment more than the approved PUD.
(iv) Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electric, police and fire
protection, and sewage and waste disposal, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property
while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing development;
Staff Response: This PUD amendment does not change the current development rights to construct four
Overlay showing approximate locations of the structures compared to neighboring
properties.
Attachment 3
6August 21, 2018 PZC Meeting – 5032 and 5040 Wildridge Road East PUD Amendment
residential units and the existing services can adequately serve the properties. The fire department has
signed off on the proposed driveway alignment.
(v) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse
impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and
vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated;
Staff Response: When compared to the existing duplex zoning, the proposed Minor PUD Amendment
will not result in any adverse impacts upon the natural environment, wildlife, vegetation, noise, or air.
Staff is unclear if there is more disturbance to the natural environment with this application. Storm water
drainage easements between property lines should be a condition of approval.
(vi) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse
impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; and
Staff Response: While the current standards on the property do not expressly preclude development on
the upper reaches of the property, the proposed Lot 38 B envelope and the closeness of houses on Lot
39 C and D are concerning for to the neighborhood aesthetic. Approval of this PUD amendment may result
in a house looming over the homes in the vicinity and a visually dominant stretch of houses.
(vii) Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or potential future uses on
other properties in the vicinity of the subject tract.
Staff Response: Single‐family‐detached residential use is compatible in scale with current and potential
uses on other properties in the vicinity of the Property.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that Lot 39 W should remain a duplex to reduce visual prominence and
because the building siting area seems to allow for it; and that Lot 38 be redesigned either as a duplex
or with a single‐family lot accessed from the shared drive and a single‐family lot accessed from Wildridge
Road East to promote compatible development. Staff is recommending continuance in order for the
applicant to address the comments in this staff report.
Recommended Motion:
“I move to continue Case #PUD18002, an application for a Minor PUD Amendment for Lot 38 and 39 W,
Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision to address the recommendations as noted in Staff’s report”
Alternatively, the following Findings and Conditions may be applied should PZC make a favorable
recommendation to Council:
Findings:
1. The application meets the eligibility requirements for a Minor PUD Amendment by not increasing
density, increasing the amount of nonresidential land use, or significantly altering any approved
building scale and mass of the development;
2. The application is complete;
3. The application provides sufficient information to allow the PZC to determine that the application
complies with the relevant review criteria;
4. The application complies with the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
5. The PUD Amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the intent
and integrity of the PUD with two residential dwelling units on the Property;
6. The PUD Amendment promotes the public health, safety and welfare over that of the existing
development rights for a duplex because the Applicant is imposing stricter standards than the
Attachment 3
7August 21, 2018 PZC Meeting – 5032 and 5040 Wildridge Road East PUD Amendment
existing development standards; and
7. The Application is in conformance with §7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, AMC, and compared to
the underlying zoning, the Minor PUD Amendment is not likely to result in significant adverse
impacts upon the natural environment or neighboring properties.
Condition:
1. Storm water drainage easements between property lines shall be demonstrated before subdivision.

Introduction
Lot 38 is approximately 1.02 ares and sits on the north side of Wildridge Road East soon after
the four way intersection that signifies the split of Wildridge Road East and West. The property
is very steep with extremely limiting grades and building siting areas. The areas of the lots that
abut Wildridge Road East are extremely steep and limiting for site access, with there in reality
being only one reasonable area for site access on the far Eastern edge of the adjacent Lot 39
where the existing duplex driveway is situated.
Under the Wildridge PUD, Lot 38 is currently zoned for two total dwelling units, contained in one
duplex. This PUD proposes replatting Lot 38 into two separate lots permitting one single family
residence on each property. These lots would be accessed by continuing the existing driveway
on the adjacent property Lot 39 to the West and onto Lot 38. This would consolidate the total
development for all of the property into one curb cut along Wildridge Road East creating a safer
site access situation along an existing steep and and curvy road. It would also greatly limit the
amount of disturbance on Lot 38 which has a very steep and challenging topography along
Wildridge Road East.
Lot 39W is approximately 1.306 acres and sits on the north side of Wildridge Road East soon
after the four way intersection that signifies the split of Wildridge Road East and West. The
property is very steep with extremely limiting grades and building siting areas. The areas of the
lots that abut Wildridge Road East are extremely steep and limiting for site access, with there in
reality being only one reasonable area for site access on the far Eastern edge of Lot 39A where
the existing duplex driveway is situated.
Under the Wildridge PUD, Lot 39W has remaining zoning for two total dwelling units, contained
in a duplex. Lot 39W was originally part of Lot 39 prior to a duplex being constructed on the
eastern side of the lot and the Final Plat of the lot has been recorded dividing the property into
Lot 39A and 39B for the existing duplex and Lot 39W for the future development of the
remaining zoning rights for the property. This PUD proposes replatting Lot 39W into two
separate lots permitting one single family residence on each property. These lots would be
accessed by continuing the existing driveway to the West and consolidating all four units into
one curb cut along Wildridge Road East.

PUD Review Criteria Lot 38
(ii) Minor Amendment. A proposed PUD amendment is considered minor if it meets
the following criteria for decision and has been determined as such by the Director.
(A) The PUD amendment does not increase the density, increase the amount of
nonresidential land use or significantly alter any approved building scale and
mass of development.
The proposed PUD amendment maintains the same density. Maintaining approved
building scale and massing would be through creating building massing restrictions as
demonstrated in the Zoning Analysis on previous pages. Additionally, separating the
structure into two smaller units would create a smaller visual affect of the buildings on
the property and allow for additional landscape buffers between the units softening their
appearance.
(B) The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development
and maintains the intent and integrity of the PUD.
The proposed PUD amendment does not alter the character of the development as the
proposed structures are consistent with the size and massing of existing structures
within the Wildridge PUD.
(C) The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of
open space or result in a change in character of any of the open space proposed
within the PUD.
Open space is not affected with this PUD amendment. Additionally, under this proposed
amendment, additional area on the subject property will be removed from the
developable area creating more open area within the property boundaries.
(iii) Lot Split Amendment to Wildridge PUD. A proposed PUD amendment to the
Wildridge PUD to permit a lot split of a duplex lot into two (2) lots is considered a Lot
Split Wildridge PUD amendment if it meets the following criteria for decision and has
been determined as such by the Director:
(A) The proposed duplex lot split is located in the Wildridge PUD Subdivision
on a vacant, undeveloped lot.
The subject property is within the Wildridge PUD and undeveloped.
(B) The proposed PUD amendment meets the criteria or a Minor Amendment in
Section 7.16.060(h)(1)(ii).
See above.
ATTACHMENT 4
(C) The PUD amendment proposes to split one (1) lot permitting a residential
duplex dwelling into two (2) lots permitting one (1) detached single-family-
residential dwelling on each lot.
See Zoning Analysis on previous pages.
Additional Review Criteria. The PZC shall review a Lot Split Amendment to the Wildridge
PUD application and Major amendments in the Wildridge PUD that include a Lot Split
according to the following criteria in addition to the review criteria for a preliminary PUD
development plan:
(i) The application results in less total site coverage and contains restrictions
on building envelopes when deemed appropriate to minimize site coverage;
The proposed zoning would restrict the development area to 55% of the current
developable area of the lot.
(ii) Driveway disturbance is minimized and a shared driveway curb cut is
utilized when feasible and the a shared driveway curb cut would reduce site
disturbance;
A shared driveway is proposed coming from the adjacent property, Lot 39. The grading
on Lot 38 adjacent to Wildridge Road East is steep and the lot frontage is narrow.
Accessing a driveway through this portion of the property would create a steep solution
with excessive grading and retaining walls.
(iii) Areas not appropriate for development are designated on the PUD plan;
The steepest portion of the lots are located in the front setback. This PUD amendment
proposes to increase the front setback and to restrict any grading into the front setback
on the newly created lots 38A and 38B to preserve these cliff like areas.
(iv) The proposed development of the site avoids disturbance of slopes greater
than thirty percent (30%) or reduces potential disturbance of slopes greater than
thirty percent (30%) compared to the existing PUD designation; and,
By splitting the proposed structures into two separate masses and overlapping the
garages, the driveway area created between them will serve as the firetruck turn around
area required by ERFPD. This design solution uses the buildings to retain this required
area and eliminates the need for significant cuts or fills along with associated retaining
walls for the firetruck turn around preserving additional portions of the lot that would
otherwise be disturbed to create this access area.
Additionally, utilizing a shared driveway with Lot 39 preserves the site frontage along
Wildridge road which is the steepest portion of the lot.
These design improvements are represented in the varying options included on the
attached sheet A0.2. Option 1 represents the proposed PUD amendment which splits
the structure into two separate single family residences accessed from a shared
ATTACHMENT 4
driveway from Lot 38. This solution uses the buildings and their adjacent driveways to
create the required firetruck turnaround area. Option 2 represents a typical duplex
structure accessed from a shared driveway from Lot 38. In this alternative, the fire truck
turnaround increases the area of disturbance along with the amount of retaining walls on
the site since the structure can’t be reasonably used to create the fire truck turnaround.
Option 3 represents a duplex structure with its own driveway accessed from Wildridge
Road East. This solution creates major excavation and cuts exceeding 50’ with
extensive retaining walls and would disturb the steepest portion of the site.
(v) The PUD plan incorporates requirements and/or restrictions as deemed
appropriate to minimize or mitigate impacts to properties in the vicinity including
but not limited to:
(A) enhanced landscaping;
(B) increased building setbacks (i.e. minimum twenty (20) feet
separation between buildings and a minimum of ten (10) feet setback
between properties);
(C) designated building footprints;
(D) building height restrictions; and
(E) designated architectural massing, including building square footage
designation.
Development restrictions are proposed to limit building massing through the
following:
A. Separating the units into two structures creates a landscape buffer zone
between the units softening the appearance and reducing the linear massing and
length of the building dictated by the steep terrain.
B. Building setbacks have been increased to neighboring properties and the
street to create larger spacing between homes and greater buffer areas for
landscaping.
C. Building footprints will be restricted to maximum areas and contained in
specific building envelopes that are smaller and significantly more restrictive than
the current setback requirements.
D. Finite glass ceilings are proposed to prevent structures from obscuring
views from neighboring properties. The glass ceiling would be in addition to the
existing 35’ maximum height restriction.
E. Both building footprint and total building areas will be limited to maximum
sizes.
See Zoning Analysis on previous pages for specific details.

PUD Review Criteria Lot 39
(ii) Minor Amendment. A proposed PUD amendment is considered minor if it meets
the following criteria for decision and has been determined as such by the Director.
(A) The PUD amendment does not increase the density, increase the amount of
nonresidential land use or significantly alter any approved building scale and
mass of development.
The proposed PUD amendment maintains the same density. Maintaining approved
building scale and massing would be through creating building massing restrictions as
demonstrated in the Zoning Analysis on previous pages. Additionally, separating the
structure into two smaller units would create a smaller visual affect of the buildings on
the property and allow for additional landscape buffers between the units softening their
appearance.
(B) The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development
and maintains the intent and integrity of the PUD.
The proposed PUD amendment does not alter the character of the development as the
proposed structures are consistent with the size and massing of existing structures
within the Wildridge PUD.
(C) The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of
open space or result in a change in character of any of the open space proposed
within the PUD.
Open space is not affected with this PUD amendment. Additionally, under this proposed
amendment, additional area on the subject property will be removed from the
developable area creating more open area within the property boundaries.
(iii) Lot Split Amendment to Wildridge PUD. A proposed PUD amendment to the
Wildridge PUD to permit a lot split of a duplex lot into two (2) lots is considered a Lot
Split Wildridge PUD amendment if it meets the following criteria for decision and has
been determined as such by the Director:
(A) The proposed duplex lot split is located in the Wildridge PUD Subdivision
on a vacant, undeveloped lot.
The subject property is within the Wildridge PUD and is undeveloped.
(B) The proposed PUD amendment meets the criteria or a Minor Amendment in
Section 7.16.060(h)(1)(ii).
See above.
(C) The PUD amendment proposes to split one (1) lot permitting a residential
duplex dwelling into two (2) lots permitting one (1) detached single-family-
residential dwelling on each lot.
ATTACHMENT 4
See Zoning Analysis on previous pages.
Additional Review Criteria. The PZC shall review a Lot Split Amendment to the Wildridge
PUD application and Major amendments in the Wildridge PUD that include a Lot Split
according to the following criteria in addition to the review criteria for a preliminary PUD
development plan:
(i) The application results in less total site coverage and contains restrictions
on building envelopes when deemed appropriate to minimize site coverage;
The proposed zoning would restrict the development area to 63% of the current
developable area of the lot.
(ii) Driveway disturbance is minimized and a shared driveway curb cut is
utilized when feasible and the shared driveway curb cut would reduce site
disturbance;
A shared driveway is proposed. Driveway disturbance across the lot would be
equivalent to that required for a duplex residence as the less steep portion of the
property is located on the far west side of the lot and the driveway would traverse the
extent of the lot for either development scenario.
(iii) Areas not appropriate for development are designated on the PUD plan;
The steepest portion of the lots are located in the front setback. This PUD amendment
proposes to restrict any grading into the front setback on the newly created lots 39C and
39D to preserve these cliff like areas.
(iv) The proposed development of the site avoids disturbance of slopes greater
than thirty percent (30%) or reduces potential disturbance of slopes greater than
thirty percent (30%) compared to the existing PUD designation; and,
The entire site consists almost entirely of slopes exceeding 30% including some slopes
approaching 100%. The steepest areas are immediately adjacent to Wildridge Road
making a separate site access for this duplex virtually impossible, dictating a solution for
a shared driveway with Lots 39A and 39B.
By splitting the proposed structures into two separate masses, a drainage swale is
created between them. This drainage swale permits the two units to be isolated from
each other and vary in vertical elevation more so than if they were attached. This will
assist in limiting grading around the buildings to help keep a tighter limits of disturbance
to help preserve as much of the lot as possible.
(v) The PUD plan incorporates requirements and/or restrictions as deemed
appropriate to minimize or mitigate impacts to properties in the vicinity including
but not limited to:
(A) enhanced landscaping;
ATTACHMENT 4
(B) increased building setbacks (i.e. minimum twenty (20) feet
separation between buildings and a minimum of ten (10) feet setback
between properties);
(C) designated building footprints;
(D) building height restrictions; and
(E) designated architectural massing, including building square footage
designation.
Development restrictions are proposed to limit building massing through the
following:
A. Separating the units into two structures creates a landscape buffer zone
between the units softening the appearance and reducing the linear massing and
length of the building dictated by the steep terrain.
B. Building setbacks have been increased to neighboring properties and the
street to create larger spacing between homes and greater buffer areas for
landscaping.
C. Building footprints will be restricted to maximum areas and contained in
specific building envelopes that are smaller and significantly more restrictive than
the current setback requirements.
D. Finite glass ceilings are proposed to prevent structures from obscuring
views from neighboring properties. The glass ceiling would be in addition to the
existing 35’ maximum height restriction.
E. Both building footprint and total building areas will be limited to maximum
sizes.

USFS Winter Access Page 1 of 1
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Director
Meeting Date: September 11, 2018
Topic: DIRECTION ON WINTER ACCESS OUT OF THE WILDRIDGE SUBDIVISION, INCLUDING THE MEMO
OF UNDERSTANDING DATED JULY 21, 2014 BETWEEN THE USFS AND THE TOWN OF AVON
ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL
No action; direction is sought on winter access out of Wildridge, including previous agreements between the
USFS and Town.
SUMMARY
The Town commented on the USFS Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Berlaimont Estates
Access Project (DEIS/Berlaimont) earlier this year. The DEIS published in February includes the
improvement of adjacent USFS 774, with a new trailhead that would accommodate winter parking and
access. The Town’s comments were provided with the understanding that USFS will only permit one
winter access point for motorized vehicles in this region due primarily to winter wildlife stress, and that
a delay in USFS 774 parking area would allow for final consideration of USFS 779 as agreed to in the
Memo of Understanding (MOU) signed on July 21, 2014, between the USFS and Town.
After the Town’s comments were provided, the Town Council held a work session on April 10, 2018 with
Aaron Mayville, White River National Forest District Ranger. At the work session it was agreed that further
analysis of USFS 717.1B should be scheduled and made part of the Berlaimont DEIS, in addition to formal
analysis of USFS 779, to assure that all options have been exhausted for winter motorized access.
As a follow‐up to the work session, and in an effort to address other comments received, the Eagle‐Holy
Cross Ranger District office presented modified mitigation measures to the public for comment. The
modifications to the DEIS were made in part to address wildlife habitat, the Town’s comments, and other
comments received during the comment period. The changes were presented in a public open house on
August 15, 2018 and include the potential for a parking area on the west side of Wildridge off USFS 717.1B
– as recommended by the Town for further study – and a multi‐use trail west of USFS 774 to address
comments from other trail users.
Written public comments received by staff are attached; further comments were received directly by
the local USFS as well. Documentation and supporting correspondence with USFS staff is attached to
this report tracking back to the 2011 Negotiated Resolution document that documented the Town’s
appeal of USFS 779. Little if any support from the public has been expressed for pursuance of USFS
717.1B, and therefore staff is seeking direction on how to proceed. This includes a re‐review of the MOU
from July 21, 2014.
STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITY
The Town of Avon 2017‐2019 Strategic Plan lists the continued work with USFS on the Town’s request
for USFS 779 to be open to winter motorized use as a Tier 1 priority.

Subject: RE: Wildridge Snowmobile Access
Matt,
Per our telephone conversation yesterday afternoon, here’s what I can tell you regarding public comments received so
far:
Since our public meeting on 8‐15‐2018, I have received approximately 120 emailed comments from the public regarding
Berlaimont. Roughly 80 of those have been a form letter created by Wilderness Workshop. Of the remaining 40 or so,
8‐10 have been comments which specifically address the proposed snowmobile access point/parking lot off of June
Creek Trail in Wildridge. All of those 8‐10 were opposed to the proposal.
Hope this helps. Call if you need anything else.

Wildridge snowmobile parking lot
Attention: Scott Fitzwilliams, c/o Matt Klien
From: Mike Post
2935B June Creek Trail, Avon.
Gentlemen,
Though I do not consider myself a NIMBY I truly oppose the winter access to parking off FSR 717.1B. Before I list the
reasons I must point out the lack of notification to directly impacted homeowners off June Creek Trail. Unlike the fliers
that were delivered to our entry’s this summer notifying the resurfacing of June Creek Trail we received nothing. If you
didn’t happen to see the story in the Daily, word of mouth or T.O.A. website you really would have no idea of this
proposal. At lease a notification sign at the end of the cul‐de‐sac would have been appropriate.
With that said, here are a few items to consider:
1)Directing winter use traffic through a Residential Subdivision will be much more of an impact on vehicle and foot
traffic for Old Trail Road and June Creek Trail not to mention the cul‐de‐sac. As it exists now with FSR 774 all
traffic is north of Moonridge Subdivision and Berry Creek Subdivision not directly impacting private roads.
2)The existing access road the descends down the 50’ Access Easement would need to be widened significantly to
accommodate the multi‐sled snowmobile trailers. No way can you have two way traffic on this road as it exists
presently.
3)Congestion once multiple vehicles and trailers reach parking options 1 and 2 with little turn around area would
lead to a real cluster in my opinion (even with the 150’X80’ parking dimensions).
4)The above would lead to unloading of trailers in the cul‐de‐sac which has already occurred in the twenty plus
years we have live there. There were at one time “no parking” signs but they were taking out a long time ago.
I’ve had plenty of confrontations with dirt bikers and snowmobilers who unload at the cul‐de‐sac and then park
at the kids park at the intersection of Old Trail and June Creek.
5)On heavy snow days trucks would need to chain up, (in the cul‐de‐sac) and interfere with residents trying to get
in and out of their driveways.
6)You may want to talk to the T.O.A. snowplow drivers and get their opinion. Will they be plowing all the way
down the access road and plowing out the parking area, (which would be a real challenge)? Or will that be the
responsibility of the Lot 21 property owner?
Please take these items into consideration and put this Wildridge property owner in your NO column for “Wildridge
Winter Access” since that is what it really is.
Regards,
Mike Post

Subject: Tonight’s Forest service meeting regarding moving snowmobile access to Wildridge.
Matt,
I’m unable to make the meeting tonight at the forest service regarding the relocation of the snowmobile access from
Berry Creek to Wildridge (June creek).
I live on Old Trail rd (2330), and I am vehemently opposed to this proposition. Old Trail is already overburdened with
tragic, as is Metcalf/Wildridge Rd. With only one access in and out of the Wildridge subdivision (which was a poor plan
from the beginning, but that cow is already out of the barn) the addition of the hiking/biking was enough of an
additional burden on our residence and the road we live on. To add trucks with trailers traffic is just too much. I moved
to Wildridge because it is not in the thick of heavy traffic and the interstate, putting this access into the middle of our
neighborhood defeats the entire appeal of living in Wildridge.
There are already enough motorized recreational playgrounds in our area that do not impact neighborhoods and
communities. Please do not allow this egregious plan to go through.
Thank you,
Tiffany Neal

Subject: Wildridge snowmobile parking lot
Matt,
I live on the short section of June Creek Trail in Wildridge just short of where the dirt begins to descend down to the
June Creek drainage. Throughout the summer we are inundated with dirt bikers coming up June Creek Trail from the
trails in that area. They hit the pavement, often doing wheelies and traveling well in excess of the posted speed limit of
20 mph. Discussions with the Avon Police Department has done little to slow them down or reroute them to some area
that does not have a lot of children.
During the winter, we already have trucks and snowmobiles driving up and down our short street and parking in front
our house (which is illegal in Wildridge). Providing them a parking space at the bottom of the dirt will only increase the
truck traffic in front of our house. Additionally, the dirt road from the end of the pavement to the proposed parking
areas is not wide enough for two trucks to pass so it will have to be widened in order for this option to work. Would you
pave the section of FSR 717.1B to the gate in order to facilitate this effort? There certainly isn’t room in the two
proposed parking areas for more than a couple of trucks with trailers. Does that mean you are going to create parking?
Will you pave that also? It could become quite a quagmire if it isn’t paved.
It seems to me that moving access for snowmobiles to an area that will traverse a quiet residential street doesn’t make
sense when the current direction does not impact residential roads. We have a number of deer that live in the area and
are constantly in our yard and walking along June Creek Trail. Increasing snowmobile vehicular traffic in this area will
certainly drive the remaining wildlife away. As was mentioned in the article in the Vail Daily on August 17, wildlife in
Eagle County is already threatened and increasing snowmobile activity along the edge of the Wildridge neighborhood
certainly won’t improve that situation.
I know I sound like someone who has his special place on a quiet street and doesn’t want anyone bothering him. In part
that’s correct. One of the reasons we purchased this house was because it was on a quiet cul‐de‐sac. Making June Creek
Trail a thoroughfare for snowmobile traffic in the winter is one sure‐fire way of disrupting this special place.
You can put me down as a definite NO for your proposal.

Subject: Snowmobile Access in Wildridge
My husband and I have a home in Wildridge, Avon, Colorado. We strongly oppose increasing access to the trails around
Wildridge for snowmobiles. Wildridge is a quiet residential community, and the homeowners chose it for that reason.
Increasing snowmobile use and access for snowmobiles is inconsistent with that quiet.
It also would disrupt the very substantial wildlife population in Wildridge, which includes deer, elk, fox, bears, and more,
as you know. The 50% decline in the elk population in Eagle County has been described as alarming by CPW, which
attributes the decline in large part to disruption in their habitat. Increasing snowmobile use in the wild areas near
Wildridge would increase that disruption. As the Vail Daily noted in its June 16, 2018, story about the decline in the elk
population, quoting CPW Wildlife Manager Craig Wescoatt, “In the bigger picture, if elk are going to survive in Eagle
County, there needs to be land set aside for wildlife that is off limits to humans. ‘Solitude and space are necessities for
wildlife herds,’ Wescoatt said.” https://www.vaildaily.com/news/where‐has‐all‐the‐wildlife‐gone‐cpw‐officials‐cite‐50‐
percent‐drop‐in‐eagle‐valleys‐elk‐population/.
We urge the Avon Town Council to oppose any increase in snowmobile usage in and around Wildridge. Thank you for
your consideration, Janet McDavid

Subject: Berliamont Project and WIldridge Snowmobile Access
Dear Avon Council,
I strongly oppose the Berliamont Project and WIldridge Snowmobile Access. I moved into Wildridge because of the low
light, low noise pollution, limited population, and the wildlife. Snow mobiles are extremely loud and disturb the wildlife
in the area. There is limited parking and I do not believe that snow mobile access or additional parking for snow mobiles
should be allowed in a residential area. Since the bikes paths have been constructed I have noticed a decrease in
wildlife so additional disturbance to natural wildlife habitat should be strongly discouraged.
My question is why should the TOA provide snow mobile access on any TOA residential area? There are plenty of snow
mobile accesses that are not part of a residential community. This snow mobile group of folks can access in areas other
than residential. Please oppose this proposal!

Subject: Wildridge Snowmobile Access
Dear Mathew and Avon Town Council
My wife and I wish to provide our input regarding our understanding that the Town of Avon is considering snowmobile
access in Wildridge as well as well as construction of a parking lot to accommodate trucks and trailers at the end of June
Creek Road.
Such a project will result in increased traffic as well as increased truck and snowmobile noise in our neighborhood. This
project will benefit non‐residents of Avon at the expense of Wildridge and residents.
We moved to Wildridge 4 years ago because of the quiet neighborhood and serene access to nature. This will certainly
disturb the neighborhood considerably. We hope that the Forest Service as well as the Avon Town Council will help to
protect our natural environment and not allow this project to proceed.
Thank you for considering our input.

Subject: Avon Council subject: Motorized winter (and maybe the rest of the year) access to USFS 779, 774 and/or 717.1B
I write in opposition to the possibility that the Avon Council will encourage the US Forest Service to use the June Creek
Trail (USFS 717.1B) in the Wildridge development as one of the few entrances to the US Forest Service land in Eagle
County.
Let me introduce myself. I am Robert Fink, a six year resident of Wildridge, living on the corner of Old Trail and Bear Trap
Rd, about a quarter of from the top of June Creek trail (or the end of the cul de sac). I write on behalf of my wife
Marjorie, and on behalf of our friends and neighbors here with whom we have discussed this issue and we suspect on
behalf of the vast majority of the residents of Wildridge, all of whom seem to share the same love of a quiet beautiful
neighborhood, where you can see people of every age walking, hiking, biking, playing, pushing carriages and strollers
along every roadway, and particularly around the children’s park on the corner of Old Trail and June Creek Point. We are
among them.
We learned this week of the the possibility that the Avon Council was interested in having the USFS allow June Creek
Trail to be the jumping off point (with the help of a small parking lot to be constructed), for winter snowmobiling on the
Forest Service roads reachable from June Creek Trail —although it could and would be use at any time of the year for
any motorized activity on those Forest Service roads; indeed, as you may know, it already is used by motorized cars,
bikes and motorcycles as well as snow mobiles; all of which I have encountered while hiking back there.
I had a chance yesterday to speak with Matt Pielsticker who I called because I saw he had presented the issue at the last
Council meeting. I appreciated his time and clarity in explaining to me how the Council views the issues it is addressing.
Having discussed this with several other residents of Wildridge we remain opposed to the idea of encouraging addition
transient traffic through our family neighbor, and opposed to making June Creek Trail a permanent access point to
Forest Service roads for snowmobiles or other motorized vehicles. Surely, there is a better option.
We appreciate your attention.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert F Fink

Subject: Snowmobile Parking in Wildridge
Dear Avon Town Council,
I'm a 29 year homeowner and resident of Wildridge. I'm vehemently opposed to building snowmobile parking
areas on or anywhere near Wildridge. I'm also against any attempts to reopen the Metcalf four wheel drive
road to winter access. The associated traffic and noise would be completely inappropriate for our quiet
residential neighborhood.
I'm also disappointed to hear that these plans are associated with the Berlaimont project. I am against that
project, as are many in the valley, and I don't like the fact that Avon is working with the Forest Service to enable
Berlaimont.
Sincerely,
Jan Livergood

RE: APRIL 10TH TOWN COUNCIL MEETING: TOPICS OF INTEREST
Dear Aaron,
The Avon Town Council looks forward to meeting with you on April 10th. In preparation for the session,
the Town would like to discuss the following topics:
1. Status of Berlaimont EIS and proposed new parking lot on FSR 774 and Town of Avon request to delay
the parking lot. (DEIS Comment Letter dated February 27, 2018)
2. Status of USFS action on the Memorandum of Understanding, dated July 21, 2014. Avon’s
correspondence regarding the MOU is attached. In our meeting on February 23, 2018, it was Planning
Director Matt Pielsticker’s and my understanding that the USFS was placing certain new conditions
on the MOU previously not disclosed or provided for in the MOU. These conditions include:
2.1 The White River National Forest now requires the proponent of an action to pay for the NEPA
process. The NEPA review category has not been determined. The proponent would be the
Town of Avon.
2.2 The Town is expected to design the realignment of Metcalf Creek Road prior to
commencement of the NEPA process. [Note: The Town has budgeted road realignment
design in 2020 ($25,000) and construction in 2021 ($235,000), subject to completion of the
NEPA process.]
It was an additional understanding from our meeting that it should be possible for the MOU review
to be included in the 2019 USFS work program and budget, if these matters are finalized in the next
couple of months. Avon, understandably, would like to discuss and resolve these conditions at the
April 10th session.
Thank you. Let us know if there is anything you would like to add to the list or if there is anything you
would like to provide to the Council before the meeting. Please give a call if helpful.
Sincerely,
Virginia C. Egger

Aaron
From our last conversation it became clear that 779 would not be included in the Berlaimont project
study. There are no updates on the USFS Berlaimont webpage; understanding that it is moving forward
independently, could you give us any sense on where 779 is placed in your queue? Did you meet with
your supervisor to go over where 779 stands in your master work list?
Thanks

Dear Aaron,
Thank you for speaking recently on the telephone and providing an update regarding the Berlaimont
project. It is my understanding that Berlaimont is in the heart of the National Environmental Policy
(NEPA) process, and alternative development (access) options are currently being created for
further evaluation this summer. Additionally, a draft analysis is expected this fall to assess the
alternative access options.
Independent of the Berlaimont study, the Town respectfully requests that review by the USFS of year-
round vehicle access and road improvements on Metcalf Creek Road (USFR 779) be commenced.
This letter follows a November 7, 2016 comment letter provided by the Town and attached hereto.
The Town requests year-round access for all vehicles, bicycles, horse and foot traffic be provided for
USFR 779, except during any appropriate US Forest Service closure. The Town also remains committed
to retaining the June Creek access in the winter as the reinstatement of USFR 779.
This request includes a review of year-round vehicle access and road improvements on USFR 779 and
emanates from our Memorandum of Understanding, dated July 1, 2014, which is also attached
The Town appreciates your timely consideration of this proposal and honoring of the Memorandum
of Understanding. It is the Town’s desire to move forward with analysis and budgeting of any
potential upgrades to USFR 779 as contemplated in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Please include me as the Town’s primary contact for the Berlaimont project and the USFR 779 study.
With Appreciation,

RE: COMMENT PERIOD FOR BERLAIMONT ESTATES ROAD ENHANCEMENT PROJECT
Dear Mr. Fitzwilliams and Mr. Klein,
On behalf of the Town of Avon, I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Berlaimont Estates
Road Enhancement Projects, and specifically in regards to Berlaimont’s proposal to improve a segment
of the existing NFSR 774, known locally as the Berry Creek Road. On August 6th, the Town Council sent
the attached letter to the United States Forest Service, requesting the Forest Service begin its review of
“year-round vehicle access and road improvements on Metcalf Creek Road” (USFR 779), which
emanated from the Memorandum of Understanding, dated July 1, 2014, enclosed with the letter.
The Town of Avon is aware that today the only permitted year-round snowmobile access available, in a
reasonable distance, is via NFSR 774. Respectfully, the Town asks that during the Berlaimont Road
Enhancement review and preparation of alternatives, comprehensive consideration be given by the
USFS to Town’s letter of August 6th, to the needs of snowmobile access and trail connections.
Finally, the Avon public has a strong interest in trail development and retention. I believe extending the
review period would allow needed time for Town Council meeting notice and outreach to our residents
regarding the Berlaimont project, and, as such, I request an extension be considered by the USFS.
The Town is prepared to work expeditiously with all parties to address this important matter.
Sincerely,
Mayor Jennie Fancher

WRITTEN REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Town Council
From: Lance J. Richards, Director, Human Resources
Date: September 11, 2018
Agenda Topic: UPDATE ON TOWN MANAGER SEARCH
SUMMARY:
As of the date of this memorandum, we have received over 60 total responses to our search
for a new Town Manager. On August 13th, a subset of the Search Steering Committee met,
and we reviewed 49 applications. Of those 49, we have selected seven with whom we wish
to speak further.
Currently, we are scheduling video interviews with those seven candidates. Once those
interviews are completed, we expect to have identified a short list of candidates for a first
round of in-person interviews with the entire Council. The first round of in-person interviews
will be held in executive session.
After the first round of in-person interviews, Council may select finalists to be invited for a
second round of interviews. The names of the finalists must be publicly disclosed in
accordance with Colorado law. The interview process for finalist candidate will utilize a series
of diverse review panels that will include community members.
According to the current schedule, it is possible that finalists may be selected and scheduled
for interviews in November.
Thank you,
Lance
