From: Brenda Torres, Liquor Licensing Authority Secretary
Meeting Date: August 27, 2019
Agenda Topic: PUBLIC HEARING Transfer of Ownership Application – Sabor Mazatlan, INC d/b/a Sabor
Mazatlan
ACTION BEFORE THE LOCAL LIQUOR LICENSING AUTHORITY
The Town Council acting as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority is asked to consider the Transfer of
Ownership Application for a Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License as submitted by:
Applicant: Sabor Mazatlan, INC d/b/a Sabor Mazatlan / Juan Carlos Diaz
Current Owner: Sabor Mazatlan, INC d/b/a Sabor Mazatlan / Jose Fortino Garcia Garibay
New Owner: Juan Carlos Diaz
New Manager: Alberto Contreras Morin
Address: 150 E. Beaver Creek Blvd. #A-101
Type: Hotel and Restaurant License
PROPOSED MOTION
“I move to approve (or deny stating the reasons for denial) the Transfer of Ownership Application
for Sabor Mazatlan, INC d/b/a Sabor Mazatlan.”
BACKGROUND
A transfer of ownership must be reported to and approved by the Local and State Licensing Authorities
prior to any actual change of ownership. The Town Clerk may refer any ownership modification
application to the Local Liquor Authority in the Town Clerk’s sole discretion. The applicable state and
local license fees must accompany these applications. Both the state and town will issue new licenses
for all transfers of ownership. The Town's Liquor Code states that "the burden of proof in an application
for the transfer of an existing license shall be upon the applicant." The Avon Town Council acting as the
Local Liquor Licensing Authority has the duty to conduct hearings and make findings of fact as to
whether to grant or deny a transfer of ownership on an existing license. The Town Clerk, Special
Counsel Pierce-Durance and Police Department handle the review of the liquor license applications
administratively. In the case of a transfer of license, an investigation of the background of the parties is
completed and a public hearing is set.
The Liquor Code of Colorado provides that in making any decision, the Local Licensing Authority
must consider the following before approving or denying the application:
•Facts and evidence resulting from the investigation and any facts brought to the attention
of the Authority.
Transfer of Ownership Sabor Mazatlan, INC Page 2
•Any other pertinent matters affecting the qualifications of the applicant for the conduct of
the type of business proposed.
Requests for licenses may be denied for various reasons such as the applicant is not of good
moral character; the applicant's character, record, or reputation is unsatisfactory; or the proposed
outlet is within 500 feet of any school.
DISCUSSION
The Town Clerk and Special Counsel Pierce-Durance have reviewed the application materials and the
Avon Police Department have completed the background checks on the principal of the company. The
applicant applied for and received a temporary permit dated May 8, 2019 that allows them to operate
for 120 days until the transfer of ownership application has been approved. Public notices were posted
and published ten (10) days prior to the hearing date. The applicant, Juan Carlos Diaz, will be present
for the hearing.
Financial Implications:
The transfer of ownership application fees have been submitted to the Town of Avon and the State fees
will be forwarded with the application materials upon Local Liquor Authority approval.
FINDINGS:
A background investigation has been completed by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the report
indicates that Mr. Diaz was arrested in August 26, 2010 for Failure to Appear for a Traffic charge.
Action Options:
Requests for licenses may be denied for various reasons such as the applicant is not of good moral
character; the applicant’s character, record, or reputation is unsatisfactory; or the proposed outlet is
within 500 feet of any school.
State required documents on file with the Town Clerk:
✓ Lease between Sabor Mazatlan, INC and 150 E Beaver Creek, LLC
✓ Affidavit of Transfer and Statement of Compliance
✓ Articles of Organization
✓ Certificate of Good Standing
✓ Temporary Permit
✓ Individual History Records

From: Brenda Torres, Liquor Licensing Authority Secretary

The Town’s local liquor licensing regulations allow for administrative review and approval of routine liquor
license applications, including: (1) Renewals, (2) Modification of Ownership, (3) Modification of Managers,
and (4) Special Event Permits for events already approved by the Town Council. Requirements for
administrative approval include that the application is complete, there is no new criminal activity on the
background and there are no liquor code violations during the last year. Renewals and Special Event Permits
require notice to be posted for seven days and require the Town Clerk to accept comments and/or requests
for a public hearing before the Avon Town Council. In all cases, the Town Clerk has the discretion to refer
the application to the Avon Town Council. The Town Clerk is required to report administrative approvals,
which is the reason for this written report. Dating back to August 13, 2019, the Town has received one
Liquor Special Events Liquor Permit and three Renewal Applications that have met all the requirements for
administrative review and approval and were ultimately approved by the Town Clerk. No comments,

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Sarah Smith Hymes and Avon Town Council
From: Greg Daly, Chief of Police
Meeting Date: August 27, 2019
Agenda Topic: PRESENTATION BY DR. CHRIS LINDLEY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF EAGLE VALLEY BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH
SUMMARY
Honorable Mayor and Council, Dr. Chris Lindley, Executive Director of Eagle Valley Behavioral Health will
present on the amazing steps and collaborations that have recently taken place by many individuals and
organizations and on the vision for change to address the behavioral health crisis in Eagle County.
BACKGROUND
The Vail Health Board formed a new nonprofit “Eagle Valley Behavioral Health” to address the lack of
resources in behavioral health in Eagle County. Vail Health has committed to provide $60 million in
direct funding and through in-kind services over the next 10 years to behavioral health. In addition, the
Vail Health Foundation has a target to raise up to $200 million for behavioral health over the next ten
years.
Dr. Chris Lindley has become a champion for behavioral health change in Eagle County. Until recently,
Dr. Lindley was the Eagle County Director of Public Health. Prior to Eagle County, Dr. Lindley was the
prevention services director for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. He
directed Colorado’s wellness, workplace and public health prevention strategies; supported research,
educational campaigns, policy efforts and federal/state initiatives; and built strong coalitions with public
health professionals, policymakers, state government partners, residents and key stakeholders. Dr.
Lindley is former Denver Firefighter. Dr. Lindley also served as the unit commander and environmental
science officer of preventive medicine in the 793rd Medical Detachment of the US Army Medical
Reserves. Dr. Lindley received a presidential commendation and the Bronze Star Medal for saving
multiple lives during a suicide bomber attack that demanded the treatment of 91 injured soldiers while
leading troops in Iraq. Dr. Lindley holds a Master of Public Health, a Master’s in the Science of
Epidemiology, a Master of Business Administration and a PhD in Epidemiology.
FINANCIAL
Currently the Town of Avon is contributing $19,500 for behavioral health 24/7 crisis response to the
Hope Center of Eagle Valley via the police department’s 2019 budget.

EAGLE COUNTY DEMOGRAPHICS
•Approximately 30% of adults & over 50% of youth are LatinX.
•Over 36% of students are English language learners.
•30% of residents speak other than English at home.
•18% of residents are foreign-born.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE
To serve all, we must address the following within our
LatinX community
●Lack of inclusivity - within the community, and organizational support
systems.
●Organizations and providers have limited cultural awareness or
competence.
●Historical and well-founded lack of trust of providers, care settings, and
traditional institutions.
●Supports/solutions tend to be clinical whereas non-clinical approaches are
often favored (e.g. preferring to seek guidance from a peer figure).
●Stigma around mental health, compounded by machismo culture and religious
beliefs.
●Large wealth disparities...
Local Factors
•Lack of mental health resources (50% of CO avg.)
•Culture of “rugged individualism”
•Access to firearms
•“Paradise Paradox” - geography doesn’t fix problems
•Disparity between wealthy & working class
•Transient nature means lack of deep social attachments
and intergenerational relationships: people have moved
away from their natural support system
•Resort town party culture & substance abuse
•Altitude (studies by Univ. of Utah in 2014 & 2018)
–Reduction in serotonin levels (regulates mood)
–Dopamine increase (risk taking/pleasure seeking)
–Amplification of bipolar disorder
11
THE TIPPING POINT: Why Is This Happening?
National Factors
•Opioid crisis & substance abuse
•Smartphones & social media
•Political climate & 24/7 news
•Debt and cost of living increases
•Provider & funding shortage

medical, dental, educational opportunities, child care, housing,
financial literacy, and more.
Mental health being addressed by:
•Helping the community understand mental health symptoms
and reduce stigma.
•Create/strengthen the referral system with behavioral
health providers.
•Developing a way to capture quantitative and qualitative
data about mental health challenges and opportunities for
solutions specific to the Latinx community.

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager RE: Vail Segway Tours DATE: August 21, 2019
SUMMARY: Seth Valentine from Vail Segway Tours is presenting a proposal to conduct Segway tours on Avon recreation trails. Attached are materials as presented to the Vail Town Council.
MUNICIPAL CODE OVERVIEW: Segway use is currently not permitted on Avon recreation trails, sidewalks, or pedestrian plazas. Avon Municipal Code 9.40.050(6) states that no commercial activities may occur in any park without a permit or license from the Town of Avon. Avon Municipal Code sections 9.04.130(b) and 9.40.20 grants the Town Manager authority to make rules and approve permits for uses on Town property. Segway tours would be a new use on Avon trails. Due to the proposal to establish regular Segway tours, use Town facilities for storage and charging of Segways, and potential conflicts with other recreational users, I have added this presentation to the Council meeting for direction.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS: Mr. Valentine has encountered and addressed a variety of issues and concerns in Vail where he has operated Vail Segway Tours for the last couple years. The likely route for Segway tours in Avon would most likely include portions of the recreational trail in Nottingham Park and the riverfront trail between Avon Road and West Beaver Creek Blvd. If Council desires to allow Segway tours in Avon, we can probably accommodate the need for storage and charging stations in the 351 Benchmark Building (old fire station ground floor).
Public use and enjoyment of Nottingham Park has increased substantially over the last couple years and the Town has experienced conflicts with over use and multiple incompatible activities (e.g. frisbee golf). Council should weigh the benefits of a visitor activity offering and attraction with the current use and enjoyment of Nottingham Park by the general public.
RECOMMENDATION: If Council desires to permit Segway tours in Avon, then I would recommend that I proceed with a permit that establishes limits for the size of groups and the number of groups per day, restricts tours to non-special event times to avoid conflicts with special events, and allows for a permit termination process if there are complaints or conflicts. I would recommend that any Segway tour operations be limited to one tour operator at this time and limited to a one year trial period.
If Council believes that Segway tours are not compatible with Nottingham Park and Town trails, then I will take no further action to permit Segway tours in Avon.
Thank you, Eric
“The only authorized, guided Segway tour provider in Colorado.”

•The first phase of the two-phase report detailed information discovered during the evaluation of motorized personal transportation devices (MPTD) specifically, the ergonomic, operational and technical aspects of the devices.
•Findings included that the Segway PT was very stable and gave users a feeling of being in control. Also, Segway PTs compared favorably to other types of devices and were far superior in the area of stability as compared to bicycles and mopeds.
•Lastly the report noted that the Segway PT could meet a large number of mobility requirements for a broad market, could facilitate transfers to other forms of transportation, and serve as an alternative to automobiles.

•The Second Phase of the two-phase report detailed use of the Segway PT by 143 participants who rode more than 9,000 total kilometers on sidewalks, paths, and roadway shoulders, in three major cities located in the Province of Quebec. The report noted that no incident or serious injury, nor any Segway PT/pedestrian collision or physical interference, was reported during the evaluation.
•Upon completion the study “Recommendations” indicate that Segway PTs should be allowed to operate on urban pedestrian areas and that such use will have little impact on user safety and still less on the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and other walkway users.

FUNCTIONALITY
•The study was undertaken to clarify the operational characteristics of both motorized and non-motorized transportation. Data was collected to obtain physical dimensions, turning capabilities, acceleration, speed and stopping distance of these devices. The Segway PT and its rider were found to have:
• the second shortest braking distance
• highest sight lines
• one of the smallest footprints
• quickest perception reaction time.
•The Segway PT met or exceeded all recommendations made by the American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide to the Development of Bicycle Facilities.

OUR ROUTE(S)
▪Designed to follow the safest path for pedestrians and our guests.
▪Majority of time spent outside of the village.
▪We follow the golf course - this is an area that has a reasonable expectation for bike/foot/other traffic.
✓Banning Segways will not significantly reduce this congestion.
▪After taking our tour our guests are better prepared to make their way safely around Vail.
FORD PARK:
▪Easy to avoid the crowds
✓Touring the park has never been an issue. We adjusted accordingly as events and
other activities required.
✓Certain areas of the Park are wide open and easy for beginners to ride in.
✓One of the safest places for us to go, which is why it is our first stop on the tour.
COMMUNITY VISIBILITY AND INTERACTION
We are enthusiastic promoters of the entire local area.
▪The tour can have a built-in stop at a café where we drive regular business.
▪Every day we promote other local businesses, give directions, make recommendations, and hand out promotional materials for other local businesses.
▪Our business plan is to be visible, answer questions but never solicit without an inquiry being made.
▪We want to be good partners in delivering the expert customer service people have come to expect when visiting Vail.

To: Vail Town Council
From: Vail Segway Tours
For the Council’s Consideration Before the Upcoming Council Meeting on 01/16/2018:
Dear Esteemed Council Members,
We look forward to meeting with each of you to discuss the Council’s concerns regarding the
use of Segways (and other EPAMDs) in the Vail town public spaces. We would like to take this
opportunity to share with you some information we feel is not only relevant to the discussion, but
important for understanding our business, who we are, and what we really do.
-First, it is important to note that Vail Segway Tours is the only manufacturer-authorized tour
provider in the state of Colorado. There are several other Segway-related businesses in the
state, but none have an official professional relationship with Segway, inc. other than us.
-An important part of having this designation of “Authorized Tour Provider” is we are bound by
contract to conduct our operations to the safety standards set by the manufacturer. Thus, there
is an element of accountability to our operation as we can lose our “Authorized” designation
should we fail to adhere to their minimum guidelines.*
*It is important to note that we, as a matter of practice, go above and beyond what is required by
the manufacturer in terms of safety and training (see TA reviews included in this packet as
evidence of this).
-Our guides are Segway-certified trainers and guides, meaning they have completed the
manufacturer’s training program on how to properly teach guests how to safely operate the
Segway Personal Transporters (PTs).
-We only offer a guided tour experience. Under our own volition we have chosen to never rent
Segway PTs for individual use, a decision that has lead to considerable lost revenue but
nevertheless is the responsible course of action.
-All tour groups are accompanied by at least one, but most often two guides, one at the front of
the group leading and one at the back of the group following up.
-Each guest must complete a comprehensive training program (roughly 25-35 minutes) before
being allowed to ride the machines on the tour.
-Our guides are also Level-2 certified Segway Technicians, meaning our machines are
maintained properly to the standards of the manufacturer.
-Our Segway PTs are brand new 2017 model X2 SE, the top of the line.
-We complete regular monthly maintenance on the machines to ensure they are safe to operate
(documentation available upon request).
-In advance of beginning our operations in June of 2017, we took special care to contact the
Town of Vail, Vail Police, and Vail Code Enforcement so that we could clearly understand exactly
what the town’s code and ordnances were before starting the business. We designed our tour
routes and practices based on the counseling and information provided by the Chief of Police,
the Head of Code Enforcement, and a representative from the Town.
-The TOV sanctioned our intended business practices (i.e. tour routes, areas we proposed to
ride with our guests) when it issued us a business license for this express purpose.
-We are not just a random group of people who popped up overnight in Vail with a fleet of
Segways. Rather, we are industry professionals with years of experience.
Jim Callan, the owner of Vail Segway Tours, fell in love with Vail and the Colorado Rockies when
he visited the town for his nephew’s wedding (he married a girl from Vail!). Jim wanted to find a
way to spend part of the year in this amazing place and thought it would be the perfect location
for a Segway tour. Much like Pete Seibert 6 decades ago, when Jim saw Vail he said “This is
the Place!” One of the features that made Jim think Vail would be the perfect place is the
wonderful network of paths, which are safer than roadways as there are no cars to interact with.
An entrepreneur by nature, Jim has endeavored to create a successful business, and so far 2
jobs (hopefully more soon!), here in Vail Village. As per Jim’s wishes and deep commitment, Vail
Segway has, from the very beginning, pledged 10% of all profits to rare cancer research.
Seth Valentine, manager of Vail Segway, has 4 years experience working for one of the largest
tour providers in Europe and the United States. He has led thousands of people on Segway,
walking, bicycle, sea kayaking, hiking and adventure tours in major European capital cities
(Paris, London, Barcelona, Berlin, Prague, Rome), the Caribbean (St. John & St. Thomas, U.S.
Virgin Islands), and now he brings his extensive tour industry knowledge and experience to Vail.
Spencer Valentine spent 4 years as an EMT both on ambulances and in ERs in some of the
busiest hospitals in Denver.
Prior to moving to Vail, both Seth and Spencer spent the last 5 years living in Dubai, U.A.E.,
where they were hired by, and worked for, the Crown Prince of Dubai at Skydive Dubai, one of
the worlds premier sport parachuting facilities. At Skydive Dubai the brothers worked as FAA
certified Senior Parachute Technicians responsible for the lives and safety of thousands of
people, professionally managing risk through adherence to industry best practices and
regulations. They helped build and maintain the largest parachute equipment service center in
the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region and to date have recorded a combined 70+ lives
saved from their work.
-We view our role in the town as much more than just a tour business. We are ambassadors for
Vail, and Colorado. When not out on tour we can often be seen in Solaris Plaza, or on Bridge
Street, or in Seibert Square giving directions or recommendations, answering questions, taking
photos for guests, and generally trying to be helpful and friendly, contributing to the overall
welcoming vibe that Vail is so well known for.
When out on tour with a group, we of course provide funny and entertaining stories about local
history and geography, but we also try to provide useful information about the town and its
exceptional local businesses. Our guests regularly ask us where to go and what to do while they
are here, and we have the wonderful opportunity to help other local businesses by
recommending them to our guests.
All we are trying to do is build a small business that provides a fun, safe and memorable
experience for our guests, and we believe that we offer a unique activity that fits in nicely with
the overall theme of adventurous, outdoorsy, fun, exciting, family-oriented activities that Vail has
become known for.
In other words, we believe it “fits” nicely and we strongly urge you to allow us to continue our
tour operations.
To whom it may concern,
It was brought to my attention that the Town of Vail was trying to limit the access of
Segways in the Vail Village. I believe this to a mistake, and this limits the different
activities our guests get ability to experience.
Seth and Spencer have brought to the village a great service to our many guests. With
my knowledge of their business and of their customer satisfaction, they are running a
very vital business here in the village. With the weather not producing snow this season,
so far, the town needs to make sure we are offering alternative activities to skiing in
order to insure that guests continue to come back to Vail for their personal vacations.
I manage a successful ski rental shop here in Vail Village. Our numbers are down due
to the snow fall. Guests are here but they are not skiing as much as usual. They are
also taking more days off in the middle of their stay. We are not getting a lot of
cancellations but we are definitely not getting the typical day traffic and weekend
warriors that we typically get. I am blaming the snow for this.
If Vail is offering a different product, then more people will come or at least stay longer. I
think a Great example of this is summer activities. I have lived here 10 years and the
summer has become more and more busy. I believe this is due to more activities during
the summer. More activities to do, more guests more business more revenue. The
Solaris building is a great example of adding to our village activities: ice rink, BOL,
movie theater. Why take away a fun, successful and informative activity in the Village. If
anything Vail should be looking at ways to add different activities for guests to
experience while visiting our Amazing town.
Please do not get rid of alternative activities that our customers will be able to
experience while in our wonderful town. If we can keep the guests in our Village they
will be continuing to come year after year and keep the money in our town, thus not
driving to other areas that have what they are looking for.

To whom it may concern,
I just wanted to let you know that Spencer and Seth who run the Segway tours are a
nice addition to the town. They were working across the street from the Bistro all
summer. I think they brought something fun to many of the tourists and locals alike.It
was also something people could do in the off season and the early season while we
had no snow. I believe safety to the riders and the pedestrians were always their first
and foremost concern.Please consider allowing them to continue their Segway tours.
Thank you ,

(“TCMD”) in connection with the development of Avon Landing. Avon Landing is located in Planning Area J
on the northeast side of the I-70 interchange, as more particularly shown in Exhibit A attached hereto.
Pursuant to the Conditional Bill of Sale, TCMD transfers to the Town, all of TCMD’s interest in certain
improvements constructed for the purpose of serving Tract H of The Village (At Avon), including roadway
and sitework improvements, storm sewer improvements and erosion control and revegetation
improvements (together, the “Completed Improvements”). The Completed Improvements were
undertaken pursuant to a Public Improvement Agreement (the “PIA”), which PIA was previously approved
administratively pursuant to the Development Agreement, Section G of the PUD Guide for the Village (At
Avon) and Section 7.32.100 of the Town Code.
The Completed Improvements do not include certain outstanding improvements, limited to 1) the final two

of a commercial or residential building permit or temporary certificate of occupancy, as applicable.
With respect to the two inches of asphalt overlay, it is the Town’s understanding Traer Creek-RP is
contemplating the development of a commercial shopping center or mixed-use project, and the
infrastructure, including the road improvements, was installed to make the area more marketable. Once
ready for development, the two inches of asphalt overlay will be installed.
The Completed Improvements, including the roadway improvements, were completed more than two years
prior to the Conditional Bill of Sale. As such, the Town has agreed to a modified date of acceptance, and to
operate and maintain the Completed Improvements dedicated to the Town, as the warranty period and all
repairs related to the Completed Improvements have long been completed and accomplished.
In approving the Conditional Bill of Sale, the Town will have ownership of the Completed Improvements
and the ability control and operate the same. The Town Engineer has inspected and reviewed the
Completed Improvements. The Completed Improvements have been constructed to the Town’s
specification and are eligible to be accepted by the Town.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Town Council
From: Matt Pielsticker, Planning Director
Date: August 27, 2019
Topic: CONTINUED - DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH COLORADO WORLD RESORTS, LLC
ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL:
Council is asked to take action, by motion and vote, on the attached revised development agreement
between Colorado World Resorts, LLC and the Town of Avon.
PROPOSED MOTION:
“I move to approve the development agreement with Colorado World Resorts, LLC.”
MODIFICATIONS:
The Council reviewed the agreement at the August 13, 2019 meeting. Direction was provided to make
changes and return on August 27, 2019. The changes to the document are attached in redline/
strikethrough format behind a clean version.
SUMMARY:
Colorado World Resorts, LLC is the owner of the property located 38388 Highway 6. On September 18,
2018, the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Major Design and Development application
for the Colorado World Resorts Condominium project. The application was approved with the condition
that a development agreement be executed, prior to building permit, to address a water budget, public
improvements, and maintenance of drainage infrastructure. This development agreement is being brought
to Avon Town Council to fulfil the condition of approval, in order to obtain to a full building permit and
begin foundation work.
The property owner is currently working under a grading and excavation permit. The Avon Municipal Code
allows for grading permits to be issued and enforced by the Town Engineer, in advance of building permits.
Activities associated with grading permits generally include drainage infrastructure, excavation, grading,
and retaining walls. Issuance of grading and excavation in advance of building permits is typical for larger
construction projects and is common to keep work progressing while final construction documents are
being prepared. Town Staff requires collateral for site restoration as part of a grading permit and for this
development the collateral is $209,475.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT COMPONENTS:
The attached agreement includes assurances that outdoor water use will be limited in perpetuity. The
water budget provisions are the result of a collaborative planning process with the Eagle River Water and
Sanitation District (ERWSD). The agreement will be executed by ERWSD and the applicable section of the
agreement has been approved by ERWSD staff.
Public Improvement construction, and ongoing maintenance is also addressed with the agreement. Other
aspects commonly found in larger projects were added: site restoration in the event of project failure, and
future subdivision mechanisms to require amenities fee, if applicable.
PROJECT TIMELINE:
- May 2018. Town Council approved rezoning of the property from PUD to Residential High Density,
with Short Term Rental Overlay District.
- September 2018. Avon Planning and Zoning Commission approved development plan applications.
- October 2018. Excavation and grading permit submitted for grading and soil nail walls.
o Permit Fee collected: $26,195
o Collateral for site restoration (typical) collected: $209,475
- November 2018. Site mobilization and site preparation.

Commission.
- Spring 2019. Full mobilization for excavation, grading, and soil nail wall activities.
- July 2019. Ability to Serve received from Water Authority and District.
- August 2019. Anticipated foundation permit issuance.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS:
The Town’s authority to enter development agreements is derived from its home rule charter, state
statutes, and the power generally held by Colorado home rule municipalities to address maters of local
concern by contract. Generally, the Town has entered into development agreements with developers at
the same time and in conjunction with Ordinances to approve rezoning applications (i.e. Confluence,
Wyndham, Village at Avon). In those cases, the Ordinance was the approval mechanism and the
development agreement was made part of, or condition to, the Ordinance and other land use approvals
being sought.
In the instance of Colorado World Resorts, LLC, the zoning was approved by Ordinance prior to a
development application submittal. The development plan approval included a condition requiring the
development agreement as a pre-requisite to a building permit being issued.

EXHIBIT A
AMMENITY FEES
Amenities Fee.
Commencing as of a first-time sale and conveyance of a Fractional Interest to a third-party
purchaser and continuing in perpetuity with respect to such Fractional Interest, the Owner or
property owner's association for any Fractional Interest Ownership subdivision within the
Colorado World Resorts condominium project ("Association") is obligated to collect from each
Fractional Interest Owner and remit to the Town on a semi-annual basis an Amenities Fee in the
initial amount of $39.30 per year per Fractional Interest or the equivalent if conveyed in some
Fractional Interest other than a one-week period.
The Owner is exempt from the obligation for the Amenities Fee until the first-time sale of a
Fractional Interest. The provisions for the obligation for each Fractional Interest Owner to pay
shall be a covenant running with the land and reflected accordingly on the Resubdivision Plat and
Association covenants. Prior to the assignment of this Agreement to an Association, the Owner
shall be obligated to collect and remit any and all Amenities Fees.
The amount of the semi-annual payments will be calculated according to the following formula:
Number of existing or newly deeded fractional interests per semiannual period (January-
June, calculated as of June 1, and July-December calculated as of December 1), multiplied by an
amount equivalent to $39.30 per weekly interest (as adjusted by CPI-U, as defined below), divided
by 2.
The due dates for the semiannual payment are August 20 and February 20 for the previous
semiannual calculation period.
On January 1, 2020, and on the first day of each year thereafter, the amount of the fee shall
be increased, but not decreased, by the percentage increase from the prior year average consumer
price index for All Urban Consumers for the Denver-Boulder-Greeley metropolitan area as
published semiannually and appearing in the January and July issues of the CPI Detailed. Report
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the "CPI-U"). In the event that the CPI-U remains the
same as the prior year or decreases from the prior year, the amount of the fee shall not be adjusted
for that year.
It shall be the duty of the Association to keep and preserve such records as are necessary to
determine the amount of fees due hereunder. Such records shall be preserved for a period of three
years and shall be open for inspection by representatives of the Town during regular business
hours. Prior to the formation of the Association, the Owner shall have the above-referenced
obligation to keep and preserve such records.
If a remittance to the Town is delinquent, or the remittance is less than the full amount due, the
Town shall make a written demand of the amount due and deliver or mail the same to the office of
the Association. The amount properly determined to be owing shall bear interest from the due date
Page 17 of 20
Colorado World Resorts
of the remittance at the rate of one and one-half percent per month until paid. Prior to formation
of the Association such written demand will be delivered to the Owner.

default, provided that such defaulting Party is at all times within such additional time period
actively and diligently pursuing such cure.
9.4 Remedies for Default by Town. If a default by Town under this Agreement is not cured
as described in Section 9.3, the Owner shall have the right to enforce the Town’s obligations by
an action for any equitable remedy, including, without limitation, injunction or specific

Each remedy in this Section 9.5 is cumulative and is in addition to every other remedy provided
for in this Agreement or otherwise existing at law or in equity. In addition, if a default of this
Agreement by the Owner or the Association also constitutes a violation of the Code and non-
compliance with the Development Plan for this Property then the Town shall have all enforcement
rights as described in the Code and other applicable sections of the Code concerning enforcement
and penalties for violations, as the Code may be amended from time to time.
9.6 Mediation. The Parties agree that prior to submitting any controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach, default, or
interpretation hereof, to a legal process, and as a prerequisite to initiating any legal process, the
Parties shall attempt to resolve the controversy or claim in good faith in accordance with the
procedures stated in this Section 9.6. The Party asserting the breach, default, controversy, or claim
shall first provide written notice to the other Party, citing this Section 9.6, and requesting
consideration by the other Party to resolve the controversy or claim. The Parties shall use
reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days from the date of the notice
commencing this process. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the date of the
notice, or by such longer period as may be mutually agreed by the Parties, then either Party may
Page 11 of 20

initiate a legal action. At any time after the written notice citing Section 9.6, the Parties may
mutually agree to appoint an independent neutral third party (the “Mediator”) to assist them in
resolving the dispute. In such an instance, (i) each Party agrees to provide the Mediator access to
all relevant and non-privileged documents and may impose reasonable confidentiality provisions;
(ii) the Parties may make representations and submissions to the Mediator but there shall be no
formal hearing unless the Mediator requires a formal hearing and provides a written notice to the
Parties; (iii) the Mediator shall make his recommendations in writing as soon as is reasonably
possible but not later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of representations and submissions
by each Party; (iv) the Mediator’s recommendation shall not be binding upon the Parties, but would
become binding upon the Parties if voluntarily accepted by both Parties in writing; and (v) the fees
of the Mediator shall be paid equally by the Parties. Following receipt by the Parties of the
recommendations made by the Mediator, the Parties shall have ten (10) days, or such longer period
as may be mutually agreed by the Parties, to accept said recommendation or a mutually acceptable
alternative. Submission of the dispute to the Mediator shall be deemed by the Parties to toll the
applicable statute of limitations until the mediation process is concluded.

EXHIBIT A
AMMENITY FEES
Amenities Fee.
Commencing as of a first-time sale and conveyance of a Fractional Interest to a third-party
purchaser and continuing in perpetuity with respect to such Fractional Interest, the Owner or
property owner's association for any Fractional Interest Ownership subdivision within the
Colorado World Resorts condominium project ("Association") is obligated to collect from each
Fractional Interest Owner and remit to the Town on a semi-annual basis an Amenities Fee in the
initial amount of $39.30 per year per Fractional Interest or the equivalent if conveyed in some
Fractional Interest other than a one-week period.
The Owner is exempt from the obligation for the Amenities Fee until the first-time sale of a
Fractional Interest. The provisions for the obligation for each Fractional Interest Owner to pay
shall be a covenant running with the land and reflected accordingly on the Resubdivision Plat and
Association covenants. Prior to the assignment of this Agreement to an Association, the Owner
shall be obligated to collect and remit any and all Amenities Fees.
The amount of the semi-annual payments will be calculated according to the following formula:
Number of existing or newly deeded fractional interests per semiannual period (January-
June, calculated as of June 1, and July-December calculated as of December 1), multiplied by an
amount equivalent to $39.30 per weekly interest (as adjusted by CPI-U, as defined below), divided
by 2.
The due dates for the semiannual payment are August 20 and February 20 for the previous
semiannual calculation period.
On January 1, 2020, and on the first day of each year thereafter, the amount of the fee shall
be increased, but not decreased, by the percentage increase from the prior year average consumer
price index for All Urban Consumers for the Denver-Boulder-Greeley metropolitan area as
published semiannually and appearing in the January and July issues of the CPI Detailed. Report
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the "CPI-U"). In the event that the CPI-U remains the
same as the prior year or decreases from the prior year, the amount of the fee shall not be adjusted
for that year.
It shall be the duty of the Association to keep and preserve such records as are necessary to
determine the amount of fees due hereunder. Such records shall be preserved for a period of three
years and shall be open for inspection by representatives of the Town during regular business
hours. Prior to the formation of the Association, the Owner shall have the above-referenced
obligation to keep and preserve such records.
If a remittance to the Town is delinquent, or the remittance is less than the full amount due, the
Town shall make a written demand of the amount due and deliver or mail the same to the office of
the Association. The amount properly determined to be owing shall bear interest from the due date
Page 17 of 20

of the remittance at the rate of one and one-half percent per month until paid. Prior to formation
of the Association such written demand will be delivered to the Owner.

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager RE: Letter Approving Deferral of Community Park Construction in the Village (at Avon) DATE: August 21, 2019
SUMMARY: Traer Creek and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority (“UERWA”) recently settled litigation related to the Traer Creek Water Storage Tank failure. The settlement allows UERWA to proceed with demolition of the failed storage tank and reconstruct a new storage tank. Traer Creek and UERWA have entered into various agreements to accomplish this project, including a license agreement to use a portion of Planning Area – P3, which is the site of a planned “community park.” Planning Area – P3 is on the north side of I-70 and is shown on a diagram below. The period of the license agreement extends potentially as long as December 31, 2025 if additional work or warranty repair work is needed.
Traer Creek is willing to provide the license agreement requested by UERWA, but has concerns that additional development in the Village (at Avon) may trigger the obligation of Traer Creek to commence construction of 50% of the community park, which Traer Creek may not be able to do if the site is still in use as a staging site for the Traer Creek water storage tank construction. Traer Creek has requested a letter from the Town affirming that the Town will defer the obligation to construct 50% of the community park until after the Traer Creek water storage tank is complete and Planning Area P3 is no longer used for staging for the water storage tank construction.
The water storage tank is essential infrastructure that must be completed. The water storage tank failure and reconstruction was not contemplated when the Community Park obligation was established in the original 1998 Village (at Avon) PUD guide. The actual language is recited below for convenience. A draft letter is attached this report for your consideration.
Page 2 of 2
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of the letter. Completion of the water storage tank is essential and required infrastructure for the Village (at Avon) and is also beneficial the redundancy of the water system throughout the Avon area. It is speculative as to whether the trigger to construct the park would actually occur during the timeframe that the water storage tank construction project is using Planning Area P3 for staging. Also, there are no existing plans, designs or minimum requirements for the community park in Planning Area P3 nor is there current demand, so there is time to determine appropriate community park construction plans.
The motion is simple and the draft letter contains specific detail on the extent of deferring the requirement to construct 50% of the community park.
PROPOSED MOTION: I move to approve the letter to Traer Creek agreeing to defer the requirement to construct 50% of the community park on Planning Area P3.
Thank you, Eric

RE: Deferral of Requirement to Construct 50% of Community Park
Dear Marcus and Michael,
The Avon Town Council finds that the construction of the Traer Creek water storage tank is very
important for the Village (at Avon) and that efficient and cost effective construction requires
the use of Planning Area P3 for staging. In the interest of cooperating and facilitating the
efforts of Traer Creek and the Upper Eagle River Water Authority to complete this water
storage tank project, the Avon Town Council voted at its regular Council meeting on August 27,
2019 to approve a deferral of commencement of the construction of 50% of the community
park on Planning Area P3 as required in section 16 of the Supplement Regulations of the Village
(at Avon) PUD Guide until as late as December 31, 2023 if the Town’s obligation to issue a
certificate of occupancy for the 601st Dwelling Unit with the Property occurs and if Planning
Area P3 is still subject to a license agreement allowing use by the Upper Eagle River Water
Authority as a staging site for construction of the Traer Creek water storage tank.
This letter shall serve as the Town of Avon’s agreement and representation to the deferral of
the requirement to commence construction of 50% of the community park as described herein.
This letter shall not otherwise alter the obligations set forth in the Village (at Avon) PUD guide
and shall not be construed to otherwise accelerate the obligation to commence construction of
50% of the community park on Planning Area P3 if the Town has not yet issued a certificate of
occupancy 601 Dwelling Units within the Property.

Sarah Smith Hymes

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager RE: Water System Impact Fee Increase DATE: August 21, 2019
SUMMARY: The Upper Eagle River Water Authority (“UERWA”) has provided a notice of a proposed Water System Impact Fee increase. Paragraph 23 of the 2015 Amended and Restated Authority Service Agreement states that an increase of the Plant Investment Fee (aka “Water System Impact Fee”) requires the unanimous vote or consent of all Authority Board Members and requires 45 days prior notice to the UERWA members. A complete report from Jason Cowles is attached to this report.
The last rate increase was in 2014. The proposed residential rate increase for Tier 1 is from $4.08 to $4.96 per square foot, or a 21.5% increase (which is an average of 4.3% per year since 2014), which would increase the Water System Investment Fee (“WSIF”) for a 2,500 sq.ft. home from $10,200 to $12,398. The average residential dwelling size decreased over the last 5 years from 2,500 sq.ft. to 2,200 sq.ft.; therefore, the Plant Investment Fee Update states that the average WSIF for a single-family equivalent residence would increase from $10,200 to $10,910, or 6.9%.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority Board of Directors
FROM: Jason Cowles
DATE: June 27, 2019
RE: Notice of Proposed UERWA Water System Impact Fee Increase
At the May Board meeting Staff was directed to prepare an update to the Authority’s Water System Impact Fee (WSIF, formerly Plant Investment Fee). The 2015 Amended and Restated Authority Service
Agreement requires that:
“Any proposal to increase to the Plant Investment Fee shall be introduced at least forty-five (45)
days prior to the date of its approval by the Board of Directors and written notice of such change
shall be given to all of the Authority Board Members at the time of introduction. Adoption of the increased Plant Investment Fee shall require a unanimous vote or consent of all the Authority
Board Members.”
Accordingly, Staff is introducing the proposed impact fee increase with this memorandum and will request formal action from the Board at the August 22, 2019 meeting.
The Authority’s WSIF is an impact fee charged to new customers that creates equity in the financing of
the water system’s current and planned future assets by requiring that new customers pay for their allocation of system capacity at the time of connection. The methodology for calculating the WSIF was
developed in 2001 by THC Utility Management Specialists. The 2001 study created a framework for periodic evaluations and adjustments of the Authority’s WSIF. The WSIF has historically been increased
annually at the rate of the Denver/Boulder consumer price index (CPI). These annual CPI adjustments recognize the time value of money invested in the system but fail to capture and adequately recoup
investments in new capital assets and capital improvements in the system. In 2014, Staff updated the WSIF utilizing the framework developed by THC. The proposed 2019 update to the WSIF was performed by our Rate Analyst, Seth Perry, and uses the methodology and framework established in the past to evaluate the current WSIF rate. The conclusion of the analysis is that the Authority should consider
increasing the current WSIF. The current fee is designed to recoup on average $10,200 per single family equivalent (SFE). Staff is proposing an increase in the fee to recoup on average $10,910 per SFE. This
increase is attributed to significant capital investment in the water system since the 2014 update. The Authority’s WSIF is assessed to new residential customers based upon square footage. At the time of the 2014 update, the fee was structured to recoup the per SFE value based upon a 2,500 square foot
residence. Staff has reviewed WSIF assessments over the past 10 years and determined that the average SFE assessed has decreased from 2,500 square feet to 2,200 square feet. We expect this trend to continue as demand for smaller more affordable housing units increases and the availability of vacant land for large lot, single-family home developments declines, thus Staff is proposing an adjustment to the assessment structure to account for this trend. A comparison of the current assessment structure to the proposed assessment structure for new residential customers is presented in Table 1 and a comparison
for new commercial customers is presented in Table 2.

Overview
Introduction
The Water System Impact Fee (WSIF) of the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority (Authority)
is a one-time impact fee assessed to new customers at the time of their initial connection to the
water system, intended to recover the customer’s share of the costs to develop the system. The
current WSIF framework was developed in 2001 by THC Utility Management Specialists, Inc.
(THC) after Colorado Revised Statutes were amended to adopt more restrictive requirements
governing the assessment of impact fees by local governments. The WSIF was last updated by
Staff in 2014. This study employs the philosophy and methodology established by THC, and
approved by the Authority Board of Directors using more current data and assumptions to
determine whether the current WSIF rate is adequate to meet its intended purpose.
The current effort to update the WSIF has been prepared and reviewed by a committee of
District Staff including: Seth Perry, Rate Analyst; Jason Cowles, Engineering Manager; and
James Wilkins, Director of Finance.
Background
The Authority’s WSIF is a one-time impact fee that is assessed to new customers at the time of
their initial connection to the water system. The WSIF is intended to recover the capital costs
incurred by the Authority to construct and finance available capacity in the water system. As a
result of the WSIF, existing customers are compensated for the capital investments in existing
facilities that include excess capacity available for future growth. This philosophy is in keeping
with the Authority’s Policy that growth should pay for growth. The WSIF fee is structured to
recover capital investments in the regional water system assets, which are assigned to the
following categories: supply, treatment, transmission and distribution (T&D), treated water
storage, water resources, and general assets. Localized system components that are required
to serve new development are typically constructed and financed by the Developer and
conveyed to the Authority as a condition of the Authority providing water service to new
development. The capital investment in these localized contributed capital assets inherently
does not require recovery through the WSIF.
Two underlying philosophies were applied by THC in the development of the Authority’s WSIF:
1. The fee should represent the unit cost of water system capacity that is allocated to a
new customer when that user connects to the system (Hartman, 2006).
2. New customers “buy into” a water system that current customers have developed over
time through the payment of user charges, contributions, and other up-front fees,
therefore the WSIF should be structured such that it represents the purchase of a share
of equity in the system thereby placing new customers on an equal footing with existing
rate payers (Hartman, 2006).
2
Relevant Legislation and Case Law
WSIFs may also be referred to as “tap fees”, “system capacity charges”, “impact fees”, “system
buy-in fees”, “capital recovery fees”, or “system development charges” (American Water Works
Association, 2012). Colorado has historically allowed local governments to recoup capital costs
through impact fees but has only provided limited statutory guidance on how impact fees should
be determined. The Authority’s WSIF was last updated in 2001 after Colorado Revised Statutes
were amended to adopt more restrictive requirements governing the assessment of impact fees
charged by local governments. Colorado Revised Statutes require that: (a) the fee must be
legislatively adopted by the local government; (b) the fee shall be generally applicable to a
broad class of property; (c) the magnitude of the fee shall be reasonably related to the impact of
the new development; and (d) no landowner shall be required to provide any site-specific
improvements or dedications to meet the same needs as those for which the fee is imposed
(Hartman, 2006).
While Colorado Revised Statutes do not provide specific legislative guidance for local
governments to utilize in the development of impact fees, there have been legal challenges to
impact fees in Colorado and other states that have established a legal precedent for use in the
development of these fees. Legal precedent essentially requires that a “rational nexus” must
exist between the impact fee and the benefit to the development that the fee is intended for. The
impact fee must be proportional to the impact of development on the water system, which is
typically defined in terms of capacity, and the Authority must provide benefit to the development
in the form of water treatment and distribution. The Colorado Supreme Court established further
legal precedence in their ruling on the Krupp vs. Breckenridge Sanitation District Case which
also found that the fee must be: (a) reasonably related to the cost of providing necessary
facilities; (b) rationally based and fairly calculated (but need not be mathematically precise); and
(c) consistently and reasonably applied (Krupp vs Breckenridge Sanitation District, 2001).
Methodologies
There are several accepted methods that may be applied as a rational basis for the calculation
of the Authority’s WSIF. THC presented a comparison of several methodologies for
consideration by the Board, including: Equity Buy-In, Unit Replacement Cost, and the Marginal
Cost Approach. The methodology that was previously adopted by both the Authority and the
District boards is the Cost Attribution method, which is a hybrid approach that combines the Unit
Replacement and Marginal Cost methods (Hartman, 2006).
Unit Replacement Cost methodology considers the present replacement value of the existing
water system’s assets. For this study, the historical capital costs to construct and improve the
Authority’s water system assets were escalated to current replacement value using the
Engineering News Record (ENR) Denver Construction Cost Index, which tracks historical costs
of labor and materials in the Denver area. Unit Replacement Cost methodology does not
consider accumulated depreciation of the assets. The unit replacement cost method was
favored by the board for determining the value of existing assets because it recognizes the on-
going investments made by existing customers to maintain system capacity and functionality
that future customers will benefit from. Contributed capital assets are excluded from the
3
calculation to avoid charging for developer contributions of assets that were made at no cost to
the Authority. The total replacement costs of the Authority’s assets are then divided by the
system’s capacity to arrive at a unit cost for system capacity. This method recognizes the
significant value of the available capacity that has been developed in the Authority’s existing
facilities.
The Marginal Cost Approach considers cost estimates for the construction of future growth-
related capital investments that add capacity to or improve the water system. The planned
capital investments in near-term projects that increase the capacity of the system are divided by
the net increase in capacity that will be realized. This method recognizes the planned capital
investment in developing new capacity to serve growth.
The disadvantage of the Marginal Cost Approach is that it fails to recognize the value of excess
capacity in the existing facilities that can provide benefit to future customers. Typically, a water
utility, such as the Authority, may choose to build excess capacity in its facilities for the purpose
of serving new development, as was the case with the Avon Drinking Water Facility. On the
other hand, the Unit Replacement Cost approach fails to recognize planned near-term
investments in facilities that will benefit future customers. It is common for a water utility, such
as the Authority, to have excess capacity in some system components (e.g., water treatment)
while also facing capacity deficits in other system components that are planned for upgrades
(e.g., treated water storage). Therefore, strictly applying either the Unit Replacement Cost or
Marginal Cost approach would not adequately define the true capacity of the Authority’s water
system for the purpose of determining an impact fee (Hartman, 2006).
The inadequacies of the Unit Replacement Cost and Marginal Cost methods can be addressed
by combining them into a hybrid approach called Cost Attribution Methodology. Cost Attribution
results in a WSIF calculation that includes a “reimbursement” component for available capacity
in the existing water system and an “improvement” component for planned capital investments
in future system capacity (Hartman, 2006). This method was previously approved by the
Authority’s Board of Directors for the calculation of the WSIF and is applied for this update of the
WSIF.
Plant Investment Fee Calculation
Calculation of the Authority WSIF using the Cost Attribution method involves several steps.
First, system capacity is established by forecasting the number of single-family equivalents
(SFEs) that the system will serve in the future at build-out. This number will be used to
determine the denominator for the various components of the WSIF. Next, the replacement
value of the water system’s current assets and Work-In-Progress is established. This is
necessary to determine the cost of capacity in the existing water system that future
development will benefit from. The WSIF component for these existing assets is established by
dividing the resulting asset value by the total number of SFEs that the system is anticipated to
serve at build out and allocating a share of these assets to existing customers. The unallocated
share of the existing system is the share available to serve new development. The estimated
costs of planned improvements to the existing water system are similarly divided amongst
4
existing customers and new development and allocated between the two user classes. Next, a
price component is calculated for future improvements that are anticipated to add capacity to
serve new development. The total estimated cost of those capacity improvements is divided by
the anticipated number of future SFEs that will be added to the water system to determine the
capacity expansion component of the WSIF. The WSIF component values for the existing water
system, planned improvements, and future capacity expansions are subsequently added to
arrive at a fee that considers the value of existing available capacity as well as capital
investment in future system capacity.
System Capacity
The Authority measures system capacity in terms of the number of SFEs that can be served by
its water system. The Authority’s Rules and Regulations define an SFE as a multiplier that is
used to quantify the impact of a Customer’s water use on the system. By December of 2018, the
Authority’s water system was serving a total of 16,721 SFE’s. Two sources of future SFE
forecasts were considered in the development of this study to determine the number of SFE’s
that will be added to the water system as it continues to build out to its ultimate capacity.
The first source of SFE forecasts is the “Authority’s Water Master Plan Update,” prepared in
2009 by SGM, Inc. The Master Plan Update was prepared to evaluate the Authority’s water
system and recommend capital improvements that will be necessary to provide capacity for
anticipated growth within the Authority’s service area and to meet evolving regulatory and
operational requirements. SGM worked with Town of Avon and Eagle County planning staffs to
perform a detailed analysis of current land zoning and future up-zoning requests that were
anticipated in order to create planning estimates for the number of SFE’s at build-out of the
Authority’s service area. SGM then used historical customer meter reading data to project
average and maximum day water demand per SFE by subdivision and customer class in order
to forecast build-out water demands. The meter reading data that was analyzed and presented
by SGM demonstrates that peak day residential demand in lower density subdivisions where
larger residential units exist are substantially higher per SFE than subdivisions where higher
density, smaller residential units exist. This is likely attributed to the higher irrigation demand of
large residential lots. SGM’s Master Plan Update forecasts a total of 23,259 SFEs at build out
(Schmueser Gorden Meyer, Inc., 2009).
The other source of SFE forecasts is a November 2014 draft of the “UERWA – Future SFE
Update” prepared by the Authority’s financial consultant, Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc.
(SBA). The SFE forecasts by SBA are prepared for the purpose of modeling Authority revenues
over the next 10 years. SBA currently projects that the Authority’s water system will serve a total
of 19,553 SFE’s in the year 2025 (Greer, 2014).
It is important to note major differences between the two sources of SFE forecasts. The SGM
SFE forecast is intended to determine the maximum build-out potential of the Authority’s service
area for the purpose of planning future capital investments in the water system to serve the
future build-out. SGM’s SFE forecast speculates that significant up-zoning and redevelopment
will occur, particularly in the Town of Avon’s core, where the zoning designations of currently
developed properties support much higher density than what is currently developed. By nature,
5
the SGM forecast is conservatively high to ensure that the Authority’s investments in the water
system infrastructure will be adequate to serve future build-out. The SBA forecasts are intended
to forecast revenues from the WSIF for financial planning purposes. Unlike the SGM SFE
forecast, the SBA forecast does not speculate on any future up-zoning. Conversely, the SBA
forecasts are conservatively low to ensure that the Authority’s revenues will be adequate to
meet its financial obligations. It is believed that the likely number of total SFEs that the
Authority’s water system will serve at full build-out lies somewhere within the range of these two
forecasts.
In order to estimate where the total number of SFEs at future build-out will fall within that range,
historical SFE growth rates were analyzed. In 2014, a 15-year period from 1999 to 2014 was
selected as the representative sample because of its inclusion of periods of both rapid growth
during economic booms and stagnant growth during recessions. Over that 15-year period, an
average SFE growth rate of 2.13% per year was observed. By projecting the observed SFE
growth rate of 2.13% per year forward over the next 15-years, it was estimated that 22,424
SFEs will be served by the system by the year 2029. To maintain the 15-year time horizon of
the 2014 study, the projection of 22,424 SFEs was increased by the observed growth from
January 2015 to April 2019 of 462 SFEs. The extended SFE capacity projection was calculated
to be 22,886 SFEs. This projected SFE total is used as the capacity denominator for the
recommended WSIF update.
Existing Assets
The Authority’s water system has developed into the existing Regional water system that serves
customers located between Dowd Junction and Cordillera via the consolidation of several
localized water systems that were previously owned, operated and maintained by the various
member Districts and contracting Districts of the Authority. In some instances, capital assets
were contributed at no cost to the Authority by the Member Districts, the Contracting Districts, or
by Developers seeking to receive water service from the Authority. The Authority also made
investments into capital assets to complete the regionalization of the water system, the most
significant being the Avon Drinking Water Facility. One of the key benefits of this regionalization
effort was to create a broader customer base to keep the costs of capital investment,
operations, and maintenance down, as smaller localized systems tend to have higher per user
costs to operate and maintain.
The Authority’s booked asset records were reviewed to identify historical capital investments in
the regional water system. These capital assets were assigned to categories based upon type:
1. Supply: This category includes facilities for raw water conveyance to treatment facilities
and groundwater wells.
2. Treatment: This category includes surface drinking water treatment facilities and
appurtenances.
3. Transmission and Distribution (T&D): This category generally includes water mains and
appurtenances for the transmission and distribution of drinking water, as well as booster
pump stations and pressure reducing valves that convey drinking water between the
various pressure zones in the Authority’s water system.
6
4. Treated Storage: This category includes drinking water storage tanks and
appurtenances.
5. General Assets: This category includes land assets.
Using the Unit Replacement Cost methodology, the value of each existing asset was escalated
to the current Replacement Cost New (RCN) as of December 2018, using ENR’s Denver
Construction Cost Index. The spreadsheets detailing these asset categories and calculations
are presented in Appendix A. Table 1 – Total Estimated Value of Existing Assets summarizes
the total estimated RCN value of the Authority’s existing assets in each of these categories.
These assets benefit current and future customers and are therefore divided amongst existing
customers and future development to determine the existing assets component of the WSIF.
Since the 2014 study there has been a considerable increase in the asset value of the Authority.
The causes of this have been improvements to the system, new construction necessary to
serve new developments, and an increase in the costs of construction which under the RCN
valuation increases the value of all existing assets.

Treatment $ 48,627,591 $ 55,984,159
TOTAL $ 70,653,490 $ 91,375,682
Contributed Capital
As previously noted, a significant portion of the Authority’s existing capital assets were
contributed at no cost by the Member Districts, the Contracting Districts, or by Developers
seeking to receive water service from the Authority. These assets have been booked as
contributed capital. There are no recoverable costs associated with these assets; therefore, they
have been excluded from the WSIF calculation. A detailed listing of the Authority’s contributed
capital assets is included in Appendix B.
Water Resources
The Authority’s Water Rights portfolio was evaluated to determine which of these assets should
be included in the WSIF calculation as existing assets. The Authority’s water rights portfolio
consists of owned and leased in-basin consumptive use credits, in-basin reservoir storage for
augmentation, and out-of-basin contract storage for augmentation. The Authority’s existing
water rights are believed to be adequate to serve the full build-out at current zoning of the
Authority’s service area; although additional rights, including storage, are intended to be
7
acquired to provide additional physical supplies to reduce the effects of drought, other
interruptions to water supply, and zoning changes. A January 2018 appraisal of the Authority’s
Water Rights Portfolio prepared by the Authority’s water counsel, Porzak Browning and
Bushong LLP is included in Appendix C.
The Authority’s portfolio of in-basin consumptive use credits includes the rights to 2,109.2 acre-
feet of water. These in-basin consumptive use credits are largely made up of historical irrigation
season consumptive use credits that have either been dedicated to the Authority as a condition
of water service for new development or leased to the Authority by its Member Districts at no
cost as a condition of water service. An additional portion of the in-basin consumptive use
credits in the Brett and Creamery ditches were purchased by the Authority for the benefit of
current and future customers due to their seniority. For the purposes of the WSIF calculation,
the Authority’s portfolio of in-basin consumptive use credits is specifically limited to the 184.46
acre-feet of credits that have been purchased by the Authority.
The Authority’s portfolio includes a contractual storage right with ERWSD to use 200 acre-feet
of in-basin storage that is released from the Black Lakes. Though the Authority has the right to
use the 200 acre-feet, it cannot command the release of this water to correspond with out-of-
priority depletions caused by its diversions; therefore, the Black Lakes Lease is assigned no
value in the Authority’s Water Rights Portfolio and is excluded from the WSIF calculation.
Authority policy requires that new development dedicate an adequate amount of augmentation
water for out-of-priority depletions that are necessary to serve the development. This
requirement is applied to up-zonings within the Authority’s service area and new inclusions of
property into the Authority’s service area boundary. Where required, this obligation is satisfied
through the dedication of acceptable water rights to the Authority, or by making a cash payment
in-lieu of dedicating water rights. The cash-in-lieu payment is for the allocation of the Authority’s
consumptive use credits and storage necessary to augment depletions caused by the
development.
The Authority’s storage in Eagle Park, Homestake, Wolford Mountain and Green Mountain
Reservoirs has primarily been developed to augment diversions made by the Authority that are
necessary to provide water service. The storage in these reservoirs provides further benefit in
its ability to protect the Authority’s water supply from the effects of drought and other
interruptions; to satisfy senior downstream calls; to offset evaporation and transit losses; to
maintain minimum stream flows during in-stream flow calls, thus enhancing the value of the
water rights leased to the Authority by its members. The investment by the Authority to develop,
maintain and lease these storage rights improves the reliability and quality of the water
resources used by the Authority’s current and future customers. Therefore, the appraised value
of the Authority developed storage in these reservoirs is included in the calculation of the WSIF.
A summary of the water rights included in the WSIF calculation is presented in Table 2 – WSIF
Eligible Water Rights.

Notes:
(1) The Authority has no control over the timing or quantity of releases from the Black Lakes, therefore this lease has no
value.
(2) The Authority has a right to 2,109.20 acre-feet of In-basin consumptive use credits which have either been dedicated
to the Authority, leased to the Authority at no cost, or were purchased by the Authority. The in-basin consumptive use
credits that have been purchased by the Authority, making them WSIF eligible, include 45.03 acre-feet in the Creamery
Ditch and 149.18 acre-feet in the Brett Ditch. The Authority has received a cash-in-lieu payment for 9.75 acre-feet of the
Brett Ditch consumptive use credits from St. Clare of Assisi. Therefore, the total of Brett Ranch credits that are WSIF
eligible is 139.43 acre-feet.
(3) Beaver Creek's water rights are leased at no cost to the Authority.

Water Authority", by Porzak, Browning & Bushong LLP.
Work-In-Progress
In addition to its booked assets, the Authority has budgeted for assets that are either currently
under construction or planned for construction in the near-term. These Work-In-Progress items
were obtained from the Authority’s 2018 “Fixed Asset Summary” and are presented in detail in
Appendix D. Similarly to booked assets, the Work-In-Progress has been assigned to
component categories based upon the asset classes. A review of the Work-In-Progress items
indicates that these improvements benefit current and future customers and are therefore
divided amongst existing and future customers to determine the Work-In-Progress component
of the WSIF. Table 3 – Total Estimated Costs of Work-In-Progress summarizes the total
estimated costs of Work-In-Progress by asset category.

Water System Master Plan and Capital Budget
The Authority’s Water System Master Plan Update (Master Plan) was prepared in 2009 by
SGM, Inc. In the preparation of the Master Plan, SGM anticipated and modeled future build-out
conditions within the Authority’s service area. From this modeling effort, a prioritized list of
Capital Improvement Projects was developed. Additionally, since the development of the Master
Plan the Authority has identified new projects that are required to improve the current system
and serve future growth. These projects are contained in the Capital Budget. Projects from both
the Master Plan and Capital Budget fall into two categories: Planned System Improvements and
New Capacity Projects. These projects are treated differently for the purpose of the WSIF
calculation depending upon which category they fall into. Spreadsheet detailing the
recommended Master Plan System Improvement and Capital Budget projects, including their
categorization as either improvements, capacity have been included in Appendix E and
Appendix F respectively. Considering that the Master Plan was prepared in 2009, all of the
estimated costs presented in the Master Plan for projects that have not yet been completed
have been escalated to 2018 values using the ENR Denver Construction Cost Index. Note that
there are recommended projects in the Master Plan that require the extension of main lines to
serve new customers that are located outside of the Authority’s service area. Under the
Authority’s main line extension policy, these extensions to serve new development would be
paid for by the development and dedicated to the Authority as contributed capital as a condition
of service. Thus, these specific projects have been excluded from the WSIF calculation.
System Improvements
The projects that are classified as System Improvements are betterments that are necessary to
meet regulatory and/or safety requirements, improve system reliability and/or redundancy, or to
preserve overall system capacity. While these projects do not increase the overall capacity of
the Authority’s water system, they do provide benefit to current and future customers, and add
overall value to the various components of the water system. Therefore, these projects are
divided amongst existing and future customers to determine the System Improvements
component of the WSIF.
10
New Capacity Projects
The Master Plan and Capital Budget also identify several new capacity projects which increase
capacity within certain components of the system to allow for future service to new
development. Notable projects in this category are new High Zone Pumps at the Avon Drinking
Water Facility and transmission line upgrades at both the Avon and Edwards Drinking Water
Facilities. These projects are recommended in order to support increased finished water
pumping rates from the two treatment facilities as the Authority’s service area builds out and will
primarily be driven by the need to serve future development that is expected in the Avon and
Edwards areas. These improvements increase capacity within the system in order to serve
future growth, and thus provide direct benefit to future customers. These improvements would
not be necessary if no further growth were anticipated. Therefore, the estimated costs of these
capacity expansions are only divided amongst the future anticipated SFE’s to determine the
new capacity component of the WSIF.
Current Master Planning Efforts
The previous Master Plan was completed approximately ten years ago, and Staff is currently
preparing a new master plan for the Authority’s water system that is anticipated for completion
late in 2019. When that plan is complete, there may be a need for an update to this portion of
the WSIF study.
Water System Impact Fee
Using Cost Attribution Methodology to evaluate the Authority’s existing water system assets,
planned improvements, and planned capacity additions to the water system, the recommended
rate for the Authority’s WSIF can be established using the projected total of 22,886 SFE’s in the
year 2034. The recommended WSIF rate is $10,910 per SFE. A WSIF Calculation Summary
Table is included in Appendix G.
The Authority’s WSIF is collected at the time that a customer connects to the water system and
is assessed based upon the customer’s classification as either a residential or commercial user.
For residential customers the impact is assessed relative to the size of the residence and is
determined by measuring the floor plans of new residential construction, or residential additions,
to verify the square footage of the residence. The residential WSIF rate per square foot is tiered
such that the larger residential homes pay a higher rate per square foot than smaller homes.
This tiered rate structure is supported by the SGM Water Master Plan Update, which
demonstrates, as previously noted, that lower density subdivisions with larger residential homes
have a significantly higher peak day demand per SFE than subdivisions with smaller, high
density residential units. In effect, the impact to the water system, measured in gallons used per
SFE, increases with the size of a residential unit. For this reason, it is recommended that the
tiered approach for assessing the WSIF for residential customers be continued.
The WSIF for commercial customers is determined by meter size. A plumbing fixture count for
commercial use is provided by the customer to size the water meter, and an equivalent number
of SFEs are attributed based upon the water demand that the meter can accommodate. SFEs
for mixed use residential and commercial buildings are calculated using a hybrid of the
residential and commercial approaches.
11
In the 2014 study, it was determined that a typical new SFE averaged 2,500 square feet. A
similar analysis of new SFEs was conducted for this study, and it was determined that recent
development has favored smaller units. Over the past ten years of WSIF collections data, the
average square footage per SFE is roughly 2,200 square feet. When determining the square
foot price, the per SFE price is divided by the expected square feet per SFE. Staff determined
that using the 2,200 square feet per SFE metric is more reflective of the expected future
development characteristics and the WSIF should reflect this expectation.
The 2019 Authority Connection Fee Schedule is included in Appendix H. It is therefore
recommended that the new rate for Tier 1 residential be based upon the recommended WSIF
rate of $10,910 per SFE, and that the remaining tiers be established accordingly to match the
existing tier distribution. It is further recommended that commercial rates be established by
multiplying the equivalent SFE’s attributed to the meter sizes by the proposed rate of $10,910
per SFE. Table 4 summarizes the Recommended WSIF rate for residential and Table 5
summarizes the recommended WSIF rate for commercial customers.

Recommendations
The following summarizes the recommendations of this report:
1. The Board should consider increasing the Authority’s WSIF to a value that lies within the
calculated range of $10,200 and $11,297 per SFE based upon the SGM and SBA SFE
forecasts. The recommended fee based on the historical SFE growth rate is $10,910 per
SFE. At the Board’s discretion, this value may be adjusted after due consideration of
other relevant factors including but not limited to:
The Board’s adopted policies, particularly that growth should pay for growth
The carrying costs and returns on previous investments made in the water
system’s available capacity by existing customers
Similar impact fees that may be assessed by other entities
Impacts on the development community, and affordability for future customers
2. The WSIF’s tiered rate structure should be continued and the average revenues
collected per SFE should be reviewed annually to insure that the tiered rate structure is
effective.
3. The Board should periodically re-examine the WSIF as new assets are added and as
warranted by changes in the Authority’s capital improvement program.
4. The WSIF should be adjusted annually by the rate of construction-related inflation, as
reflected by the Denver Construction Cost Index published by Engineering News
Record.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Avon Town Council
From: David McWilliams, Town Planner
Meeting Date: August 27, 2019
Topic: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING AND REVIEW OF PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION - AVON MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENTS TO PERMIT COMMUNITY
HOUSING IN THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT ZONE DISTRICT
BY SPECIAL REVIEW USE
ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL
Public Hearing and direction to pursue or not pursue an
Ordinance amending the Town of Avon Municipal Code to
permit Community Housing in the Light Industrial and
Commercial Employment District zone district by Special
Review Use (SRU).
APPLICATION BACKGROUND
Town Council tasked the Community Development
department with initiating the Code Text Amendment (CTA)
process to determine the best way to provide Community
Housing* in the Light Industrial and Commercial
Employment District (IC). In front of Town Council are code
text amendments that would allow increased densities
within the IC district through the SRU process.
*Community Housing means residential housing which is subject to a deed restriction that limits use to long-term residential use as a primary residence by qualified persons and which deed restriction may impose other restrictions and limitation and may include terms deemed appropriate in the Town’s discretion,
including but not limited to controls on the resale price of such residential
property, and which deed restriction is enforceable by the Town.
PROCESS
Once Council initiated the CTA process, staff scheduled a
series of work sessions with the Planning and Zoning
Commission (PZC) in to prepare the code language. After
two (2) work sessions and two (2) public hearings, PZC
voted unanimously to recommend denial of the changes
(Attachment 1).
AREA BACKGROUND
The IC zone district originated in 1974 as part of the
Benchmark subdivision, before Avon was a town. Wildridge
had yet to be conceived, so the district was isolated and at a dead-end. As Avon grew around it, the IC
district developed and by 1999, all the current buildings had been completed. While the uses and
businesses have come and gone, the district itself is best described as mature or fully developed, with few
vacant lots remaining.
Five (5) of the properties have Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) within them, for a total of 12 units. In
various iterations of the municipal code, they seemed to be by-right; now they all are subject to the Special
Review Use (SRU) process. Code allows up to four (4) ADUs per property, and two (2) properties are at
that limit. In some senses this speaks to the amount of demand for commercial space and the inherent
complexity of retrofitting existing buildings and combining the uses where various owners or tenants are
already established. Staff is unaware of any covenants that prohibit housing in the area but would not be
surprised if some properties had such provisions.
Some of the properties were originally built with their unit(s), while others had commercial space
retrofitted to allow for housing. One of the more recent buildings, the vet hospital, was planned and
constructed with all four (4) units as the top floor of the project.
Currently there are four (4) vacant lots within the zone district – three (3) are somewhat physically isolated
from the heart of the district and all of them have constraints to construction. Staff reviewed the uses
and created the table below to illustrate the existing conditions in the area. Staff does not guarantee the
accuracy of any individual piece of the information in the table but presents it as a tableau of the area in
general.

THE SPECIAL REVIEW USE (§7.16.040)
“(a) Purpose. This Section provides a discretionary approval process for special review uses that have
unique or widely varying operating characteristics or unusual site development features. The procedure
encourages public review and evaluation of a use's operating characteristics and site development
features and is intended to ensure that proposed use will not have a significant adverse impact on
surrounding uses or on the community at large. Special review uses that may be allowed in each zone
district are listed in Table 7.24-1, Allowed Uses…
“Special review use approvals shall expire pursuant to this Section. The PZC may approve a SRU permit in
perpetuity, but may assign a shorter time as deemed necessary. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration, the holder of the special review use approval may apply for a review hearing before the PZC.
The PZC shall review the use against the criteria in Subsection (e) above to determine whether the special
review use will be allowed to continue.
(1) Developments and uses granted by a special review use permit shall be developed or
established in accordance with an approved development schedule or within two (2)
years of the date of approval if no development schedule is established. Failure to
develop or establish such development or uses in accordance with the time period
approved on the permit shall result in the expiration of the permit.
(2) If an approved use ceases operation for any reason for a period of one (1) year, the
special review use permit shall be deemed expired. If the conditions of a permit become
the responsibility of a person or entity other than the applicant, the Director shall be
notified in writing, identifying the new person or entity responsible for maintaining the
conditions of the approval/permit. Until such notice is received, the applicant shall
remain responsible. Such notice shall be attached to the permit on file at the Town.
(3) If conditions of approval are not maintained, it shall be considered a violation of this
Code and subject to revocation proceedings.”
Generally, SRUs have more to do with use than built form. That is, SRUs generally are needed to decide
upon a use within an existing space, not whether the space should be built. It is unlikely that any applicant
for a Community Housing Project would request anything less than perpetuity.
SRU REVIEW CRITERIA
Code requires the PZC to use the following criteria on all SRU applications. While these criteria are not
applicable for a CTA, staff’s responses are indicative of the hurtles that an applicant would need to cross,
and the responses needed to get approved. Additional review criteria are being proposed, with responses
further below:
1) The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and all applicable provisions of
this Development Code and applicable state and federal regulations;
Staff Response: The Comprehensive Plan states:
[Current] uses provide an important component to Avon’s overall economic health… Existing uses on
Nottingham and Metcalf Roads are intensely developed with large buildings and need improved
landscaping, access, and screening. The Town should work towards improved traffic safety and
aesthetics. Live/ work development opportunities in the Light Industrial and Commercial zone district
that do not possess significant conflicts with surrounding land uses should be encouraged.
The Planning Principle section states: “Accommodate residential development that supports primary
industrial or employment land uses.”
The Comprehensive plan prioritizes the current (or arguably denser) scale of ADUs but not a wholesale
conversion of existing uses to residential. The undeveloped parcels in the IC zone district would not raise
the same concerns as the rest, but perhaps this is a case to be made for the Rezoning process of these
parcels and not a SRU. Staff feels that the proposal deviates from the area specific language. A
Comprehensive Plan revision that better addresses the SRU process is not proposed at this time.
The Community Housing Plan (part of the Comprehensive Plan) gives strong but general support for
Community Housing. It lacks specific guidance with where the housing should be focused other than a
few specific properties.
2) The proposed use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning district in which it is
located and any applicable use-specific standards in the Development Code;
Staff Response: In the CTA, staff revised the IC district purpose (7.20.080) to better align with this
criterium.
3) The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses in terms of scale, site design and operating
characteristics;
Staff Response: Staff does not feel strongly that, all things being equal, residents need to be protected or
segregated from the majority of uses in the IC zone or vice-versa. However, the district is well established,
located in a physically isolated section of town, away from parks, schools, transportation, etc. and in many
ways is not conducive to a large residential development. Likewise, residential uses near the current uses
can put pressure on them to redevelop, thereby losing the jobs (and tax base) present.
4) Any significant adverse impacts (including but not limited to hours of operation, traffic
generation, lighting, noise, odor, dust and other external impacts) anticipated to result from
the use will be mitigated or offset to the maximum extent practicable;
Staff Response: There are mobility and transportation concerns that a proposed change would bring.
Placing Community Housing away from the Town Core raises concerns about how workers are expected
to get around and how the road network can handle the increased traffic in a relatively isolated section
of town. Basic amenities such as sidewalks and streetlights are not provided. Staff would expect an
applicant to detail how their project would mitigate these concerns but is doubtful they will be fully
assuaged.
5) Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas, electricity, police and
fire protection and roads and transportation, as applicable) will be available to serve the
subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service for existing development; and
Staff Response: Fiscal impacts to the town and the region may also be reason for judicious review of any
SRU proposal. Staff estimates that approximately $208,000, or 2.5% of the town’s overall sales tax
collection in a given year, is collected in the IC zone district. Staff did not estimate the impact of the 2%
transfer tax collected by the town as a way to recoup some of the potential losses because the units would
be deed restricted and therefore exempt from the transfer tax. The lifeblood of municipal coffers is sales
tax and eliminating businesses in town would result in a lower tax base. More public services may be
required with a smaller sales tax base to draw from.
6) Adequate assurances of continuing maintenance have been provided.
Staff Response: The concerns are the same as above.
Additional SRU Criteria
Staff proposes the inclusion of the following review criteria for applications that propose four (4) or more
dwelling units per property in the IC zone district, in addition to the SRU criteria above. These additional
criteria are an attempt to limit the type and location of properties that would be subject to a drastic
change in use.
1. Compatibility with surrounding land uses;
2. Whether the proposed development is justified by changed or changing conditions in the area
proposed to be developed;
3. Whether there are adequate facilities available to serve development of the type and scope
suggested by the proposal compared to the existing use allowances, while maintaining
adequate levels of service to existing development;
4. That, compared to the existing zoning, the development is not likely to result in significant
adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract;
5. The fiscal loss associated with net loss in IC uses due to the proposal is mitigated by the
community’s need for housing;
6. The property is underutilized or underdeveloped and would function better as Community
Housing;
7. That all of the housing provided will be deed restricted as Community Housing.
8. Architecture that responds to the sensitive site conditions and raises the standard of design for the rest of Town are being provided; and
9. The application provides an appropriate environment for housing.
Staff Response: The proposed additional criteria takes four (4) criteria from Rezoning to better define
where the change in use would be appropriate enough to warrant approval. They also require an
applicant to demonstrate that the project is financially and aesthetically cohesive with the rest of town.
PZC REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Work Sessions – Staff worked with PZC to create a purpose statement for the CTA process that guided
the language choices. It reads: To codify a process that allows quality Community Housing in the Light
Industrial and Commercial Employment District on underutilized or otherwise suitable locations, through
the SRU process. With that as a starting point, staff sought to walk a fine line between opening up the
possibility of housing while also protecting the important jobs base in the area.
Public Hearings - A summary of the changes proposed by staff include:
• Changing the IC district purpose statement to open the possibility for a housing-only parcel.
• Change in the review for up to four (4) ADU from SRU process (brought to PZC) to staff-review.
• Increase in the number of accessory units allowed per property from four (4) to eight (8), with
four (4) or less ADUs per property allowed by-right and over 4 dwelling units per property
requiring the SRU process.
• Creation of three (3) use types within the IC zone district to steer applicants to the desired design
type and possibly lower bar for SRU applications. Two types have a residential density maximum
of 10 dwelling units per acre.
• Addition of SRU criteria for application types that contain more than four (4) ADUs.
• Requirement that housing above four (4) units per property be deed restricted Community
Housing.
CODE TEXT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA
The review procedures for this application are governed by the Development Code. According to the AMC
§7.16.040(c), Review Criteria, the PZC and Town Council shall use the following review criteria as the basis
for recommendations and decisions on applications to amend the text of the Development Code:
(1) The text amendment promotes the health, safety and general welfare of the Avon
community;
(2) The text amendment promotes or implements the goals and policies of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan;
(3) The text amendment promotes or implements the purposes stated in this Development Code; or
(4) The text amendment is necessary or desirable to respond to changed conditions, new
planning concepts or other social or economic conditions.
Staff Response: Staff worked hard to balance the proposal to respond to changed conditions while
maintaining the general welfare of the Avon community by preserving the job base in the district. Goal
B.5 in the Comprehensive Plan states:
Encourage revitalization of existing light industrial and manufacturing uses.
Policy B.5.1: Ensure infrastructure improvements include sidewalks, utilities, and controlled access from
collector roads, like Nottingham Road.
Policy B.5.2: Encourage effective screening of industrial uses from adjacent uses and vehicular access and
circulation separate from public roads.
Policy B.5.3: Review accessory residential uses in association with light industrial commercial
development when compatible.
The application balances reusing light industrial and manufacturing uses against the revitalization of the
district by potentially allowing redevelopment in appropriate areas.
The Community Housing Plan, as part of the Comprehensive Plan, states the following goals:
• Achieve a diverse range of housing densities, styles, and types, including rental and for sale, to
serve all segments of the population.
• Focus on increasing deed restricted homeownership opportunities for households making
equivalent of 140% or less of the Area Median Income - $430,000 for a household of three people
in 2018.
• Grow the inventory of homeownership and “missing middle” inventory, in place of additional
rental housing stock, to create a more balanced portfolio with a long-term goal of 50% rental, 50%
ownership.
• Seek to add deed restricted units to the inventory in the short term.
Select purposes of the Development Code state:
(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;
(n) Achieve a diverse range of attainable housing which meets the housing needs created by jobs in
the Town, provides a range of housing types and price points to serve a complete range of life
stages and promotes a balanced, diverse and stable full time residential community which is
balanced with the visitor economy;
While different zone districts have allowances of mixed use, the IC zone district has stricter parameters
limiting that mix than the others. For example, the Mixed-Use Commercial (MC) zone district allows for
100% commercial or 100% residential. Staff is not opposed to a more mixed-use future in this district but
warns that eliminating IC uses is a worrying outcome of a more liberal approach to the SRU. No housing
is affordable without a living wage and removing a jobs base from Town may produce that result.
Therefore, this CTA takes a narrow approach at increasing housing in this zone district, which staff
suggests is the right way to strike a balance between more housing units and preservation of existing jobs.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECORD OF DECISION
In the two hearings, members of PZC voiced their strong disagreement with the SRU as the correct process
to review housing projects in the IC district. The SRU process was seen as a poor substitute to the Rezoning
process to allow Community Housing because it undermines the preestablished rules for the drastic
change in use.
PZC voted to recommend denial of the application to Town Council (Attachment 1). Fundamentally, the
body encourages a different approach (namely rezoning, a housing overlay district, and public-private
partnerships (PPP)) to achieve Community Housing, instead of an expansion of the SRU process. The fact
that the SRU process could require 100% of the additional units provided within the zone district to be
deed restricted Community Housing was not particularly compelling. Members of PZC stated that due to
the physical constraints on the undeveloped properties in the district, a PPP would probably need to be
formed anyway, thus ensuring a large amount of the units created be deed restricted. Further, having
received no input from the owners of the vacant properties, PZC generally had a hard time changing the
parameters by which the properties are governed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends no further action on the item unless the Town Council chooses to strip the Ordinance
of all sections except for the ADU increase from four (4) to eight (8). In that case, staff recommends
initiating the first reading for the September 10, 2019 Town Council meeting, so staff can present a revised
copy of the Ordinance.
FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff’s focus on the IC zone district for this CTA led to some interesting compliance issues and other
overarching observations for how to make it align closer to its purpose statement (found updated in the
Ordinance, Attachment 2).
Review Zone district uses – Staff feels that to best achieve the current intent of the zone district, certain
changes in use allowance or programmatic focuses may be appropriate:
• Self-storage, while necessary for many in the modern world, does not produce a large jobs base
or fit well into the purpose statement for the IC zone district. Staff recommends capping the
number of self-storage operations (through zoning or business license restrictions) at three (3),
the current number.
• The following uses are not permitted in the IC district. Furniture store; plant nursery; office supply
store; paint store. While staff has not heard much demand for these operations in the district,
staff suggests that adding them to the SRU list might spur additional businesses to locate in the
town.
Potential Programs - The IC zone district supports many year-round high paying jobs where a formal
education is not required. Further supporting efforts in technology, micro industry (niche manufacturing),
or a maker space may spur a more robust jobs base.
Code Changes - ADU vs Live / Work: The IC district currently allows up to 4 ADUs per property as part of
an SRU application. This use is not displayed in Table 7.24.040 as allowed in the IC district. Live / Work is
a category in Table 7.24.040 but is not defined, and Live / Work is not shown as permitted in the IC district.
Staff suggests a cleanup that corrects this.
Rezoning –
• The town owns Lot 39, Block 1 Benchmark at Beaver Creek
(picture, left) and it is zoned IC. Staff does not anticipate any
potential development on the site and suggests that the property
be rezoned to open space.
• Rezone Tract Y. Staff would seek owner approval for a Town
Council initiated rezoning.

Report re: Ordinance No. 19-05 Increasing Primary Residence Exemption Page 1 of 4
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Town Council FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager RE: Ordinance No. 19-05 Primary Residence RETT Exemption DATE: August 9, 2019
SUMMARY: Ordinance No. 19-05 is presented to Council for consideration and review on first reading. This ordinance and memorandum were provided to Council at the July 9, 2019 Council meeting and continued to this August 13, 2019 Council meeting for further consideration on first reading.
Any increase in the exemption for primary residences will reduce revenues for the Capital Improvements Plan. A draft Capital Improvements Plan is scheduled for presentation to Council at the September 10, 2019 Council meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: A recommendation for Council consideration is to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 19-05 with a more limited and targeted increase in the primary residence exemption to only $320,000 (which would double the exemption from the current $160,000) and limit the availability of the exemption to purchases that do not exceed $960,000 and set the public hearing for September 10, 2019 to be scheduled after the presentation on the Capital Improvements Plan. The impact to the Capital Improvements Fund is anticipated to be a reduction of $208,000 in available funds for Capital Improvements each year. Council can then consider the impacts to the Capital Improvements Plan in more detail at the September 10, 2019 Council meeting.
A power point presentation will be provided prior to the Council meeting that will summarize the financial points in this report and will provide examples of how an increased exemption from real estate transfer taxes for primary residences would benefit buyers in Avon.
From the prior report on July 9, 2019:
BACKGROUND: Council adopted Avon’s first Community Housing Plan last December. Council previously expressed a desire to consider increasing the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) exemption for primary residences. Draft language was presented in Ordinance No. 19-01 in early 2019; however, Council separated out the tax and fee waivers for Community Housing in Ordinance No. 19-01 and recently adopted that Ordinance.
INCREASING PRIMARY RESIDENT RETT EXEMPTION: Increasing the RETT exempt for primary residents presented some transactional complications and questions about impacts and consequences to the Town’s budget. The proposed amendment to increase the primary residence exemption has been simplified by creating a separate independent exemption rather than building upon the two existing exemptions for primary residences.
TABOR IMPLICATIONS: The Tax Payor Bill of Rights (TABOR) amended the Colorado Constitution in 1992 and prohibited any new or increased real estate transfer tax. Any increase of the primary residence exemption would become permanent and could not be repealed by Council at a later date. It is possible to
Report re: Ordinance No. 19-05 Increasing Primary Residence Exemption Page 2 of 4
draft an increased exemption for primary residences as a “temporary tax credit”; however, that would make the wording even more complicated and is not suggested.
PRIMARY RESIDENCE RETT EXEMPTION: Several options and concepts are provided for Council’s consideration with regard to any change to the RETT exemption for purchasers of a primary residence.
Council previously adopted AMC Section 3.12.060(15) in 2002 by Ordinance No. 02-14, which provided a one-time exemption of $160,000 for the first purchase of a primary residence in Avon. Then Council adopted AMC Section 3.12.060(16) in 2007 by Ordinance No. 07-17 to allow an exemption for primary residence for subsequent purchases in Avon with the limitation that this subsequent exemption was only available to a person who met the definition of an “Eagle County Employee”. This change was intended to support working full-time residents who currently owned a primary residence in Avon but desired to purchase a larger residence to reflect residential needs and preferences during various life stages.
The Town of Avon receives and approves approximately 65 RETT exemptions applications for primary residence. [2016 = 70; 2017 = 74; 2018 = 51]. The primary residence exemption is for the first $160,000 in consideration paid which translates into $3,200 in RETT relief for the buyer. On average, this exemption results in $208,000 in annual RETT revenues that is not received and is exempted for primary residence purchases.
Section 3.12.020 – Definitions of the Real Property Transfer Tax Chapter defines Eagle County Employee and Primary Residence as follows:
Eagle County employee means an employee working in Eagle County who works an average of at least thirty (30) hours per week on an annual basis or earns seventy-five percent (75%) of his or her income and earnings by working in Eagle County; or a retired individual, sixty (60) years or older, who has worked a minimum of five (5) years in Eagle County for an average of at least thirty (30) hours per week on an annual basis.
Primary residence means the occupation and use of a residence as the primary residence, which shall be determined by the Town Manager by taking into account the following circumstances: voter registration in Avon, Colorado (or signing an affidavit stating that the applicant is not
registered to vote in any other place); stated address on Colorado driver's license or Colorado identification card; stated address on motor vehicle registration; ownership or use of other residences not situated in Avon, Colorado; and stated residence for income and tax purposes.
Occupation and use of a residence as a primary residence must occur within thirty (30) days of transfer of the real property, provided that the Town Manager may grant an extension of an additional ninety (90) days if extenuating circumstances are found to exist in the Town
Manager's discretion and provided that such extension request is included with the applicant's application for exemption.
IMPACTS TO RETT AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: The RETT generates between $2.5 million to $3.1 million in revenues per year depending upon the real estate market. The RETT revenues sometimes received an increase when new “for-sale” projects become available to the market. Existing debt service is approximately $1 million per year, leaving a conservative budget of $1.5 million per year for capital improvements.
Report re: Ordinance No. 19-05 Increasing Primary Residence Exemption Page 3 of 4
An increase in the primary residence RETT exemption from $160,000 to $320,000 can be expected to reduce RETT revenues by $208,000 per year. An increase from $160,000 to $480,000 can be expected to reduce RETT revenues by $416,000 per year. The consequence of increasing the primary residence exemption would be to require deferral or elimination of capital projects in the approximate amount of $200,000 to $442,000 (based on increasing exemption to $500,000 in consideration paid).
An increase of the primary residence RETT exemption is expected to reduce the available Capital Improvements Budget by 14% to 29%.
ADMINISTRATION: An increased exemption for primary residences would create a third category of exemption. RETT exemptions are already complicated; therefore, an additional increased exemption for primary residences would require the Town to provide additional instructions and would require submission of a closing statement that indicates the amount of the real estate transfer tax to be paid by the buyer.
Options for Primary Residence RETT Exemption Changes:
1.Increase the $160,000 primary residence exemption in AMC Sections 3.12.060(15) and (16). This is asimple option that is very easy to adopt and administer. This exemption would be available to allprimary residence purchasers regardless of the sales price of the residence. If Council desires thisoption, then Ordinance No. 19-01 can be amended to simply amend AMC Sections 3.12.060(15) and(16) to increase the $160,000 exemption amount.
2.Increase the $160,000 primary residence exemption but limit eligibility for the additional exemption toresidences that do not exceed a maximum affordable prices based on the Area Median Income forEagle County (e.g. residences that do not exceed $640,000 to $960,000).
3.Increase the $160,000 primary residence exemption but limit eligibility for the additional exemption topersons who meet the definition of Eagle County Employee.
4.Increase the minimum timeframe to that the property must be used as a primary residence from thecurrent minimum duration of one (1) year.
Pros and Cons of Options:
Options 1 and 2 would directly reduce the costs for buyer to purchase a residence in Avon as a primary residence. The buyer is required to pay the buyer’s portion of the RETT at closing in addition to the down payment and other closing costs. An increase in the primary residence exemption would directly reduce the buyer’s required cash at closing which would improve buyer’s ability to purchase a residence. An increase of the primary residence exemption from $160K to $320K would save a buyer a total of $6,400 at closing. An increase of the primary residence exemption from $160K to $480K would save a buyer a total $9,600 at closing.
Option 2 proposes a limitation on an increased, additional primary residence RETT exemption to those more in need and would exclude purchases of residences greater than ($640,000 to $960,000) on the basis that the purchase of a residence in that price range does not warrant a public subsidy to promote full-time resident housing.
Option 3 proposes that the increase in RETT exemption over $160,000 for primary residences is limited to
Report re: Ordinance No. 19-05 Increasing Primary Residence Exemption Page 4 of 4
Eagle County Employees.
Combining Options 2 and 3 would target the exemption to benefit eagle county employees and within the price range where the greatest need is identified.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Avon Town Council
From: Preston Neill, Deputy Town Manager
Date: August 27, 2019
Topic: FIRST READING ORDINANCE 19-07, ENACTING CAMPAIGN FINANCE REGULATIONS
ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL:
Town Council is asked to take action on First Reading of Ordinance 19-07, Enacting Chapter 1.14 of Title
1 of the Avon Municipal Code Pertaining to Campaign Finance.
PROPOSED MOTION:
“I move to approve [with or without modifications] First Reading of Ordinance 19-07, Enacting Chapter
1.14 of Title 1 of the Avon Municipal Code Pertaining to Campaign Finance.”
SUMMARY:
There has been an ongoing, national debate on the role money plays in campaigns for elected office.
Campaign finance laws, which are found on the federal, state, and local levels, have been developed in
order to reduce the potential, real or perceived, for money to influence an elected official’s voting
behavior.
Presently, there are no campaign contribution limits for municipal elections in the Town of Avon. A
candidate for elective Town office may raise an unlimited amount of money from any one source. With
2020 Town Council campaigns not too far off, it is timely that the Town Council discuss, review and
consider enacting legislation to reduce the role money plays in local Town Council campaigns.
In its current form, the proposed Ordinance, if enacted, would:
• Require all candidates for the office of Town Council to certify by affidavit that they are familiar
with the provisions of the Chapter.
• Require all candidate committees, political committees and issue committees to register with
the Town Clerk before accepting or making any contributions.
• Limit contributions and/or contributions in kind to the candidate committee of any candidate
for the office of Town Council to $100 per person.
• Require all candidate committees, political committees and issue committees to report to the
Town Clerk their contributions and contributions in kind received that are $20.00 or more,
expenditures made, and obligations entered into by the committee.
• Prohibit contributions from any person who is not a citizen of the United States, or from a
foreign government, corporation, labor union, or political party.
• Establish regulations for unexpended campaign contributions.
• Establish both civil and criminal penalties for violations of the Chapter.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Sarah Smith Hymes and Avon Town Council
From: Preston Neill, Deputy Town Manager
Date: August 27, 2019
Agenda Topic: 2020 TOWN OF AVON COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM UPDATE
OVERVIEW:
For purposes of efficiency, this memorandum has been prepared as a written report to notify Council of
staff’s recommended approach to the 2020 Town of Avon Community Grant Program. If Council has any
questions or desires to discuss any aspect of the 2020 Town of Avon Community Grant Program, please
raise this written report for discussion during Tuesday’s Council meeting.
SUMMARY:
Application materials for the 2020 Town of Avon Community Grant Program were released on July 29,
2019 and can be found at www.avon.org/communitygrants. The application deadline was August 26,
2019 at 5:00 p.m. The Ad Hoc Review Committee will meet during the week of September 9, 2019 to
review all submitted applications and make funding recommendations. The Ad Hoc Review Committee,
which is appointed by the Town Manager, will be comprised of citizens representing businesses and
nonprofits, as well as various members of Town staff. At the Budget Retreat that will be held of October
30, 2019, staff will present the 2020 Community Grant Program Requests and Recommendations
Funding Summary that will include recommendations for funding (both cash and in-kind), conditions of
funding, if any, and supporting information.
In 2016, the Town Council amended the Community Grant Program’s procedures for solicitation,
evaluation and funding. One of the refinements was the elimination of applicant presentations before
Council. Instead, funding recommendations from an appointed Ad Hoc Review Committee are
incorporated into the annual proposed budget and subject to approval during the annual budget
process.
This year, staff is recommending some additional refinements. Based on the Town’s ongoing partnership
with a few local organizations (e.g., Walking Mountains and Vail Valley Mountain Trails Alliance) and
based on their programs and the services they provide to the community, staff recommends that these
organizations not be required to submit a formal Community Grant Program application. Rather, staff
will recommend contribution amounts for these organizations that we feel are commensurate with the
work they provide to the Avon community. In addition, there are two organizations that have
traditionally submitted an application for community grant funding who staff feels fall under a different
category and no longer fit under the umbrella of the Town’s Community Grant Program. They are the
EGE Air Alliance and the Vail Valley Partnership. Last year’s Ad Hoc Review Committee collectively
recommended that, in the future, contribution requests from these two organizations be treated as
“economic driver”-type contribution requests. Staff intends to include contribution amounts for these
two entities in a separate program titled, “Economic Development”, along with a few other items. As
stated above, staff will recommend contribution amounts for these organizations that we feel are
commensurate with the work they provide to the Avon community.
Council will have an opportunity to review and provide direction on the recommended contribution
amounts at the Budget Retreat in October.
In order for the Ad Hoc Review Committee to make recommendations on the applications received, a
target funding amount must be set. The purpose of this memorandum is to make Council aware that
staff’s recommendation is to set the “not to exceed” amount for community grant funding in FY2020 at
$153,000, which is approximately 1% of 2019 General Fund Total Operating Expenditures. A concerted
effort has been made over the last three years to dwindle the “not to exceed” amount for community
grant funding to equal 1% of the previous budget year’s General Fund Total Operating Expenditures. A
funding history chart has been prepared below:
OTHER COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAMS:
In late 2016 and in advance of the 2017 Town of Avon Community Grant Program, staff researched the
community grant programs of several Colorado municipalities including Aspen, Breckenridge, Estes Park,
Telluride and Vail. At that time, the majority of them utilized some sort of ad hoc committee to review
submitted applications and make funding recommendations. Annual grant funding was across the board
and varied from 1.07% of General Fund Operating Expenditures to 7.19% of General Fund Operating
Expenditures (see chart below).
