RE: La Zona Work Session, April 4, 2023 c o o N A o 0
DATE: March 31, 2023
SUMMARY: The Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") hosted a joint public meeting with the Avon Town
Council to review draft design concepts for the La Zona project on March 21, 2023 ("Exhibit A"). The discussion
was continued in order for Staff to respond to comments and further vet options moving forward with portions of
the project. The purpose of the April 4, 2023 meeting is to review these options and gain consensus on next
steps.
MARCH 21 RECAP: The March 21, 2023 meeting included a several public comments and support for an
aquatics expansion [Option 6] of the recreation center. There was strong advocacy for moving forward with
connecting Main Street Mall project. In particular, finishing the segment across Mikaela Way and across Lake
Street to Harry A. Nottingham Park was prioritized. The same Main Street Mall segment was also supported
with the online survey results. The importance of parking was brought to the forefront of the discussion.
Redeveloping 351 Benchmark with any significance (e.g. Multi -Use Community Building) did not appear to be
favored over simplified repurposing of the lot with either expanded park/parking or a skate park concept.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: We are recommending the following next steps:
Recreation Center— Obtain design services for Options 1, 2, 4, and 5. Conduct more community outreach,
facility research and fundraising opportunities for Option 6 (pool) and Option 7 (gymnasium). Provide an
alternative building expansion design concept for an addition of a 30'x 30' Therapy Pool ("Option 8").
351 Benchmark — In near term, obtain professional services to review the existing building and property to
determine environmental (e.g., per -and poly fluoroalkyl substances and/or Regulated Building Materials) and
other considerations for eventual demolition. Demolition plans can then be prepared with cost estimates.
Parking — Institute managed parking for all existing Town -owned parking facilities in the Town Core. Additionally,
obtain design service for schematic level drawings and cost estimates for a parking structure adjacent to the
Recreation Center.
Main Street Mall — Obtain design services for Main Street Mall connection from Lettuce Shed Lane to Harry A.
Nottingham Park.
SURVEY: An online, bilingual survey ran for three weeks in late February and early March. Multiple press releases
were posted. The survey was advertised in the Vail Daily multiple times per week to raise awareness.
Additionally, postcards were sent to all Avon landowners and sent via the Recreation Center and Town of Avon e-
mail lists. The survey garnered 1,073 unique responses, with over 62% identifying as Avon residents and 87% as
Recreation Center patrons. The survey summary is included in the attachments to this report.
970.748.4413

matt@avon.org
Key Survey Takeaways:
• Average age of respondents:47. There was little representation from 24 and younger age group, with
only 45 respondents, or 6% of total survey takers.
• Results were generally consistent between Avon Residents and Non -Avon Residents. For example, the
Pool/Spa, Weight Room, and Fitness were universally supported by all respondents. Pool and spa
improvements were rated of slightly higher importance by non -Avon residents (57%) versus 55% for
Avon residents.
• Gymnasium vs. Competition Pool: Avon Residents overwhelmingly supported Gymnasium (64%) over
Pool (36%) versus non -Avon residents at 55% and 45% respectively.
• "Park Gateway" — area between Mikaela Way and Lake Street was listed as top priority (62%), followed
by a redevelopment of 351 Benchmark (57%)
• 351 Benchmark prioritization was split evenly between 2 -story Mixed -Use Building (33%) and
Temporary Park (32%), followed by Skate Park (23%) and Parking (13%). Parking as an option ranked
very low (13%), however, many of the write in comments mentioned parking availability in the area as
something to address.
POTENTIAL TIMEFRAME: If there is consensus to move forward with Staff's recommendation, the following
timeline can be expected:
• April: Draft La Zona Subarea Plan
• May/June: Subarea Plan Adoption Process
• June -September: Design
• September: Budget and Prioritization in Capital Improvement Plan
• September -December: Construction Documentation
• Spring 2024: Construction of desired elements
• Fall 2024: Tax Question if pursued for plan element(s)
OTHER OPTIONS: There are a wide range of options to consider when reviewing the La Zona design
alternatives. We offer these specific options, which can be combined or expanded upon based on further
feedback:
(1) Do Nothing — Delay action until all Capital Improvement Projects are prioritized.
(2) More Information - Seek More Information report back to PZC/TC.
(3) More Outreach — Solicit additional comments through Open Houses or other means.
(4) 351 Benchmark - Pursue additional study on Multi -Use Community Building. Pursue other uses not
already listed in the La Zona design concepts.
(5) Recreation Center Expansion - Secure design services for Recreation Center Expansion [Options 1-7],
or study other expansion ideas at a conceptual level.
(6) Main Street Mall - Secure design services for entire Main Street Pedestrian Mall, or from any of the
following subareas:
a. Possibility Plaza to Harry A. Nottingham Park.
b. Lettuce Shed Lane [aka Crossroads] to Harry A. Nottingham Park
c. Town Hall to Harry A. Nottingham Park
d. Mikaela Way to Harry A. Nottingham
(7) Parking Structure — Secure additional design services for schematic level design of parking structure
adjacent to Recreation Center. This can also be deferred to a later date if desired.

FUNDING OPTIONS: COP, URA for Mall, Property Tax Bond, DDA
A $25,000 Equity Centered Community Design planning grant was obtained from the Colorado Health
Foundation to pursue a skate park in Avon. Lead by Amy Lewis, Grant Administrator for Education Foundation
of Eagle County ("EFEC"), on behalf of the Avon Skate Coalition ("ASC"), the 351 Benchmark property was
vetted with other potential sites as part of a graduate student's capstone project with DU. Those results are also
attached ("Exhibit B"). EFEC and ASC are poised to secure a $700,000 grant for construction if the project
were to move forward. In addition to the $700,000 grant from the Colorado Health Foundation, two additional
grant opportunities can be pursued to secure up to $1,000,000 total for project construction.
PARKING: Parking in the core of Avon has increasingly become more strained. This is the result of more
development, more guests, and a lack of formal parking management or enforcement. Staff will be re -presenting
a wholistic parking management plan for public parking spaces throughout the Town Core. In addition to parking
management of the existing assets, the development of a parking structure immediately east of the Recreation
Center has always been envisioned at buildout of the West Town Center. The time is now to design a scalable
parking structure and obtain pricing information. This is necessary because at least one more hotel is being
planned for the Town Core, parking spaces between the library and Recreation Center will be removed for the
Main Street Mall connection, and increased visitation and parking demand will track with the continual increase
in Recreation Center usage and special events in the park. Developing a parking structure can be partially
funded by Tax Increment Financing, as discussed above.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE: When the Recreation Center is expanded Staff expect to see an
increase in operations and maintenance expenses. The estimated projections are based on the Town moving
forward with Options 1, 2, 4 and 5 which does not include the addition of a climbing wall or expanded lobby area
to the west. The existing facility size is 42,800 square feet and the new size with the recommended options
would be 53,341, an increase of 10,541 square feet.
Projected Recreation Center Staff Needs: Staff propose the addition of two full-time positions to maintain
operations and expand program offerings; a Recreation Services Coordinator and a Fitness and Wellness
Coordinator. Annual salary range for each position would be between $46,000 - $54,000 with a weighted annual
cost (for Town benefits, retirement contributions, etc.) of $66,700 - $78,300. The two positions would cost the
Town between $133,400 - $156,600 on an annual basis.
Staff propose increasing part time staff hours to better manage the expanded facility. 1). A Guest Service
Attendant II at $22.00 per hour x 25 hours per week x 52 weeks = $28,600 per year and 2). a Child Watch
Attendant at $22.00 per hour x 36.5 hours per week x 52 weeks = $41,756 per year. The addition of the two
part-time positions would cost the Town $70,356 on an annual basis.
Total projected increase in annual staff cost: $203,756 - $226,956
Projected Supplies and Maintenance Cost: Staff expect to see an increase of $5,000 for General Program
Supplies to maintain the expanded Fitness areas and Child Watch area. Staff also anticipate increasing services
from a qualified fitness equipment technician and can be estimated at $6,000 per year. Staff are expecting to
purchase more fitness equipment to provide more offerings within the expanded facility. The average cost of a
new fitness machine is $5,000 per item and the department anticipates purchasing ten new pieces of equipment,
totaling $50,000. The new pieces of equipment will be added to the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund
(CERF) on a 6 - 8 year replacement cycle and the Recreation Department will be charged between $6,250 -
$8,333 per year as those future equipment replacement funds accrue.

Based on the increased square footage of 10,541, Staff project the building's utility and custodial costs will
increase by approximately 20% - 25%. Recreation Department Staff and Facilities Staff are gathering the
current building utility usage to provide an accurate dollar amount for the estimation.
Total projected increase in annual maintenance and supplies cost: $69,333+
Projected Revenue:
Child Watch (new): $18,000
Merchandise: 10% increase or $1,000
Personal Training: 10% increase or $4,000
Admissions: 10% increase or $110,000
Total projected increase in annual revenue: $134,000

DISCUSSION: Tract G has always been envisioned as dedicated public use that includes parks, recreation,
civic, and cultural activities. Staff strongly supports the continuation of this original vision to utilize 351
Benchmark and the Avon Recreation Center for uses that serve a broad spectrum of the public. For this reason,
Staff supports the consideration of a skate park as a recreational use for 351 Benchmark that serves the
community's youth close to the Recreation Center; and Options 1 through 5 (minus climbing wall) for the
Recreation Center expansion and remodel. Staff's recommendation will assist in meeting the community's
increasing recreation demands and expand the Avon Recreation Center's role as a community center to serve a
diverse range of community needs. Connecting the Main Street Pedestrian Mall to the area west of Mikaela Way
has long been envisioned as a key community corridor. The final stretch to Harry A. Nottingham Park can be
designed in conjunction with the 351 Benchmark development plan.
Thank you, Michael, Matt & Eric

RE: La Zona Joint Work Session
C01 CHai7o
DATE: March 21, 2023 Meeting
SUMMARY: The Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") is hosting a joint work session with the Town
Council to review draft design concept drafts of identified areas slated for improvement (see "Attachment
A") as part of the La Zona project. More specifically, the purpose of this joint meeting is to review public
feedback received through an online survey during this project timeline ("Attachment B") and discuss the
next steps in this planning endeavor. This report offers the `potential options' for the next steps. As this joint
meeting is a work session, no formal action will occur on March 21 st.
This report provides an overview of the project and initial conceptual design plans. "La Zona" refers to an
area of the Town Core centered around the Recreation Center and Main Street Pedestrian Mall connection
to Harry A. Nottingham Park. It is the transition zone between the park and the high-density mixed-use
Town Core. The project scope includes the old fire station property (aka "351 Benchmark"), the Recreation
Center, and the Avon Library. La Zona encompasses a portion of Town -owned land identified as Tract G.

PROJECT GOALS: The goal of the project is to determine:
(1) The appropriate redevelopment and re -use of 351 Benchmark;
(2) The appropriate plans for future expansion of the Avon Recreation Center; and,
(3) The appropriate conceptual designs for extending the Main Street Mall.

Staff is grouping these goals in this manner as each goal influences and impacts the other concerning site
planning, parking, and pedestrian connections. As a primary goal, the redevelopment of 351 Benchmark offers
a unique opportunity to provide additional amenities for the Avon community. A secondary goal of this project
is to promote a cohesive design that visually connects Avon's past public investments from the Westin
Gondola Plaza to the West Nottingham Park recreation courts redevelopment.
MARCH 21 MEETING AGENDA:
(1) Staff Presentation (Matt Pielsticker, Michael Labagh, and Eric Heil)
(2) Questions for Town Staff
(3) Questions for Consultant Team Members
(4) Public Comments
(5) PZC/TC Discussion
(6) Additional Public Comments, if necessary
(7) Direction on Next Steps
PROCESS: Staff posted a Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") seeking professional planning and design
services, with recreation center redevelopment experience in April of 2022. We selected the project consisting
of Norris Design (land planning/project management), Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture ("BRS") (recreation
center specialists), and Toole Design (multi -modal planning and wayfinding).
The project team worked extensively with Recreation Center Staff, Planning Staff, and Town Manager's office
in the second half of 2022 to evaluate the current and future demands, building addition(s) feasibility, and
programming studies. The Health and Recreation Committee and the Cultural Arts and Special Events
Committee reviewed initial plans around January 16th.
A Community Open House was held on February 13th, followed closely by an online survey distributed
throughout the Avon community and recreation center users. The survey garnered 1,073 unique responses,
with over 62% identifying as Avon residents and 80% as Recreation Center patrons. The survey summary
("Attachment B") is attached. A complete analysis of the survey results has not yet been completed; however,
Staff will present a high-level overview at the work session.
Public awareness and feedback are paramount to a successful project outcome, and this feedback received
from committees, citizens, and survey benefit the PZC and the Council's understanding of community
sentiment. Staff continues to contact adjacent landowners and businesses on the project directly.

351 BENCHMARK ANALYSIS: Staff understands there are many worthwhile and exciting potential uses
on 351 Benchmark and would point out other opportunities to develop these `desirable uses' on other Town -
owned properties in the Village (at Avon). These initial "fit diagrams" and development concepts for 351
Benchmark (aka desirable uses) include community housing, childcare, artist space, an ice rink, and
surface aarkina, as illustrated in the followina diagrams:

The final draft of La Zona design concepts includes a skatepark option for 351 Benchmark. The idea of
implementing a skatepark use was first introduced to the Town by the grass-roots non-profit, the Avon Skate
Coalition ("ASC"), which first presented the Avon Town Council with this concept before the La Zona project
began (2022). ASC requested assistance with Town Staff to start vetting a suitable location within Avon for
a site. Not soon after, the ASC secured a $25,000 planning grant from the Colorado Health Foundation to
facilitate preparation for an "equity -centered community design" for a local skatepark.
As a requirement of the planning grant, the ASC has applied this funding towards an effective public
engagement process to generate meaningful dialogue within and beyond the local skateboarding
community. This dialogue, which runs parallel to the La Zona process, is primarily represented by an
ongoing public meeting series, where community members discuss preferred skatepark features and the
community -centered amenities, relevant transit systems, and community impacts that include a skatepark in
the La Zona area. The ASC's public process has thus confirmed that the 351 Benchmark site is an operable
site for fun, safe, equity -centered skatepark that could activate outdoor space around the Recreation Center
and Harry A. Nottingham Park. Norris Design's concept plans include a skatepark at the 351 Benchmark as
part of the project. Additionally, ASC's collaboration with the Colorado Health Foundation opens the door for
additional grant funding (up to $700,000) for skatepark design and construction, supporting Avon's efforts to
enhance recreational amenities in town.
It is important to note that the ASC team has also explored other potential sites for a skatepark within Town
limits (outside the scope of the La Zona project area). Overwhelmingly, a skatepark at 351 Benchmark Rd
appears likely to advance Avon's vision and values, including aims to "Be a Thriving Center of Activity and
Entertainment, Enhance the Sense of Place and Character, and Promote Diversity' more than any other
viable location identified in the Town.
RECREATION CENTER AREA BACKGROUND: Tract G, the focal area of La Zona, measures 47 acres in
total. Several planning processes preceded the creation of this parcel in 1974. The property's history and
previous planning efforts are attached as a summary of this report ("Attachment C"). The previous planning
efforts help contextualize a shared vision for the area as it has evolved. Today, many relevant principles
influence the La Zona project, forming the basis for this refined plan. Where Recreation Center expansion
possibilities have been acknowledged previously, they have never been analyzed in this much detail.
CURRENT RECREATION CENTER DEMANDS: The Recreation Center has seen a significant increase in
facility usage and program participation within the last few years. The Recreation Department saw record
Admissions revenue and facility visitation in 2022. The facility averaged 454 daily visitors in 2022 compared
to a previous average visit record of 344 in 2017. Current Recreation Department programs/classes are
conducted in limited, multi -use rooms, which limit the potential for new program opportunities. During peak -
use facility hours (6:00 — 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 — 9:00 p.m.), the fitness areas are often overcrowded, making it
difficult for patrons to complete a workout.

The Town sponsored Avon Swim Club, a USA Swimming competition team, has doubled in size in its six-
year tenure. The availability of the lap swimming lanes is limited for public use in the evening between 4:00
— 7:00 p.m. when the swim team and swim lesson programming occur. The Community Swim Program has
outgrown the facility's 5 -lane, 25 -yard lap pool and is limited to the amount of growth that can be achieved.
The Recreation Department continues to focus efforts on expanding operating hours, optimizing existing
facility space and program schedules but has essentially reached its maximum capacity in its facility and
program offerings. Beginning in January 2023, the Recreation Center expanded its operating hours on
Sundays from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
2022 RECREATION SURVEY: The Recreation Department staff collaborated with the Health and
Recreation Committee and the Marketing and Communications Manager to develop a Recreation Center
patron specific survey in 2022. The survey provided patrons the opportunity to rate the overall operation of
the Recreation Center and asked for preferred improvements regarding the facility, operations, and
programming. The survey was available in both English and Spanish and Town staff solicited responses
from Avon and surrounding communities via facility flyers, social media channels, Town website, direct
emails to all existing facility users and word of mouth.
The survey collected 545 responses with 86% of respondents stating they were Eagle County residents.
Survey results show total number of responses, percentage per answer choice and weighted averages for
the ranking questions. The overall theme drawn from this survey was that Recreation Center patrons
wanted "more." This included expanded operating hours, more program opportunities and increased facility
space. Patrons were asked to rank their top improvements for operations, programming and the facility.
The top five items for each category are listed below.
Operational improvements:
1. Expanded operating hours
2. Eagle County resident discounts
3. Addition of Fitness Attendant position to monitor and maintain fitness areas
4. Additional shower/locker room amenities
5. Check in/registration process
Page 5 of 9

Programming opportunities:
1. Increased variety of fitness classes
2. Nutrition and/or wellness classes
3. Outdoor programs/events
4. Individual fitness assessments
5. Expanded childcare
Facility improvements:
1. Expanded fitness area/equipment
2. Renovated aquatics area to expand leisure pools
3. Renovated aquatics area to expand lap swimming pool
4. Expanded facility to include a walking/running track
5. Expanded facility to include a gymnasium.
FUTURE GROWTH OF AVON: Tract G and the civic facilities (namely the Recreation Center)
were planned at a time when the full buildout of the community was not fully realized. For example, the
Wildridge, Mountain Star, and Riverfront subdivisions have matured. The Village (at Avon) Planned Unit
Development includes entitlements for an additional 1,800 dwelling units and 470,000 square feet of
commercial space, which can consist of hotel development.
Low-density developments in West Avon and East Avon are planned and zoned for high-density mixed-use,
which could result in as many as 1,800 residential units in the Town Core. Staff projects that the Town's full-
time population and accommodations bed base may increase by 40%-50% over the next 20-30 years.
Increased demand and usage for parks and recreation would correlate with this expectation.
Two sizeable park sites exist for the Village (at Avon). Planning Area B measures 4 acres and is centrally
located on the valley floor, which will be surrounded by higher -density development. Planning Area 3 ("P3")
is 13 acres and creates a park site on the north side of Interstate 70 at the Post Boulevard and Swift Gulch
intersection. The P3 park is envisioned as a regional amenity.

PARKING: Currently, there are 376 parking spaces in the Town Center West area, including the old Town
Hall and Fire Station sites, Avon Library, Lake Street, West Beaver Creek Boulevard, Benchmark Road,
Town Hall, and Recreation Center. These parking areas are open to the public, with a three-hour limitation.
The parking on Mikaela way adjacent to the library is reserved for patrons during business hours.
The current public buildings in the area require 260 spaces assuming four spaces/1,000 SF, and a 15%
reduction for shared and mixed uses according to §7.28.020(g)(2)(ii), Mixed Use Reduction, Avon Municipal
Code. The spaces not required for the buildings provide parking for H.A. Nottingham Park. The potential for
a Recreation Center expansion, potential use(s) at the old Fire Station site, and future increases in park use
and special events will bring more parking demand to the area.
A parking structure adjacent to the Recreation Center was initially identified as a suitable location in 2006,
planning to accommodate increased demands in the West Town Center area. The West Town Center plan
anticipates a substantial increase in retail and commercial uses in addition to the existing lodging and
municipal services. The police and fire departments moved from this area upon constructing the joint public
safety facility on the Buck Creek property.
Staff engaged Walker Parking Consultants to examine the existing surface parking lot on the east side of the
Recreation Center to establish the feasibility of an above -ground, multi-level structure. Two scenarios were
studied, with both findings preserving Mikaela Way and existing access points. The more efficient parking
arrangement of the two studies, Option 2, yields 306 parking spaces in the structure. This scenario
represents an increase of 170 total parking spaces and assumes that all existing surface -parking spots on
the east side of the Recreation Center, the west side of the Recreation Center, and behind the Library would
be lost in the future, as is identified in the La Zona design concepts. The conceptual level pricing to construct
a parking structure in the east is between $15 — $20 million.

POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS: The Town has many options to contemplate while reviewing the La Zona
design alternatives. From doing nothing to proceeding with the complete design development process(es)
for each of the three plan areas, the Town Council ultimately has absolute discretion: The PZC's
involvement and recommendations to the Town Council at this stage in the review of La Zona are essential
because any future design plans will include presentation and approval from the PZC. I offer these specific
options, which can be combined or expanded upon based on further feedback:
(1) More Information - Seek more information and report back to PZC/TC. For example, financial
modeling and analysis of potential funding mechanisms for construction and Operations and
Maintenance of any additional public facilities.
(2) More Outreach — Solicit additional comments through Open Houses or other means.

POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS: The Town has many options to contemplate while reviewing the La Zona
design alternatives. From doing nothing to proceeding with the complete design development process(es)
for each of the three plan areas, the Town Council ultimately has absolute discretion: The PZC's
involvement and recommendations to the Town Council at this stage in the review of La Zona are essential
because any future design plans will include presentation and approval from the PZC. I offer these specific
options, which can be combined or expanded upon based on further feedback:
(1) More Information - Seek more information and report back to PZC/TC. For example, financial
modeling and analysis of potential funding mechanisms for construction and Operations and
Maintenance of any additional public facilities.
(2) More Outreach — Solicit additional comments through Open Houses or other means.
(3) 351 Benchmark - Pursue additional study on Community Building and/or secure design services for
Old Fire Station site
(4) Recreation Center Expansion - Secure design services for Recreation Center Expansion [Options
1-7]
(5) Main Street Mall - Secure design services for entire Main Street Pedestrian Mall, or from any of the
following subareas:
a. Possibility Plaza to Harry A. Nottingham Park.
b. Lettuce Shed Lane [aka Crossroads] to Harry A. Nottingham Park
c. Town Hall to Harry A. Nottingham Park
d. Mikaela Way to Harry A. Nottingham
(6) Parking Structure — Secure additional design services for schematic level design of parking
structure adjacent to Recreation Center.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Tract G has always been envisioned as dedicated public use, including
parks, recreation, civic, and cultural activities. Staff strongly supports continuing this original vision to utilize
351 Benchmark and the Avon Recreation Center for uses that serve a broad spectrum of the public. For this
reason, Staff supports the consideration of a skatepark as a recreational use for 351 Benchmark that serves
the community's youth close to the Recreation Center; and Options 1 through 5 (considering removing the
climbing wall from Option 3) for the Recreation Center expansion and remodel.
Finally, Staff recommends pursuing the complete design of the Main Street Mall from Lettuce Shed Lane
through the Mikaela Way crossing. If the direction to proceed with a project at 351 Benchmark is received,
Staff recommends including the final connection of Main Street Mall to and through Lake Street. These
options assist in meeting the community's increasing recreation demands and expand the Avon Recreation
Center's role as a community center to serve a diverse range of community needs. Connecting the Main
Street Mall to the area west of Mikaela Way has long been envisioned as a critical community corridor.
Thank you, Matt

A world class climbing wall is needed - climbing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Since the year
2000 climbing has quadrupled. It allows for world-class athletes to call this area home. It provides an indoor
sport during winter months that is affordable. Skiing can be very prohibitive, expense wise and climbing requires
very little gear and has some thing people of all ages can enjoy indoors.

Avon Library - Area of Focus "Other" Comments
More programs for youth - not much for local kids to do in this valley. Current programs are greatly appreciated!
Would love more, even if they came with a small monthly fee.

Avon Library - Reason For Not Using "Other" Comments
When we are at our home in Avon we are mostly outside, but will use it more as we begin to retire there.
We used the library quite frequently when our child was in the local school system. However, our child has
graduated from high school and therefore our use of the library has become more limited.
We only use it when we are in town
We only spend time in the summer
We mostly do outdoor things.

La Zona - General Comments
Would love to see a more diverse selection of restaurants and businesses brought to Avon. A downtown or Main
St., like that of Fort Collins, Bozeman, Durango, or a number of other mountain towns, would be a vital step in
ensuring that people actually want to live in Avon for the long-term. Open spaces are great, but what we need
are unique businesses, shopping, an arts collective, and exciting restaurants to ensure the longevity of our town.
Most people that wander around Avon have a slightly confused look on their faces. We need to change that.
Would love shops/restaurants along walkway (Main St.?) (between Seasons and Avon Center) as originally drawn
up several years ago. ALSO ... PLEASE do something about the ice on Lettuce Shed Way walkway in winter. S000
much ice/S000 many falls! Originally, we were told that was to be a heated walkway when it was redone years
Would like to see indoor pickleball included in the rec center expansion
Would like to see a dedicated space in the community building option for art exhibits and studio space also
Why La Zone for name? It's like the town should be named Nueavon. It seems like there is no thought to history,
overall feel of Avon, etc. It is so pieced to together, there is no continuity, it's like a knee jerk reaction to
development in Avon. And it seems the town spends a lot of money on development, but the value output is
low...? The town seems to need more overall vision for the years to come. I guess La Zona works for Avon, but
again why is it called La Zona? I think the town should embrace the Mexican influence more if they are wanting
Why is it being called "La Zona"? "The early Eagle River Valley, including the area that was to become Avon, was
first inhabited by the Utes. These great Native American horsemen spent winters in the mild climate to the west
and returned to, in their language, "the shining mountains", each summer to hunt mule deer, elk and the great
buffalo." My suggestion is call it "Shining Mountain Park/Community Center/Skatepark" or something of that
While I applaud the town reaching out to residents to collect input, good luck with funding (based upon cost
estimates for bathrooms in the park). Also it seems as though the town council priorities should be on
affordable housing and water usage. You are having issues finding staff to support existing programs and

valuable real estate take the time to figure out the best long term solution that will generate revenue not just be

Weight room is super crowded, would love expansion there. I would also love to see a skatepark in Avon!
We need more retail, shopping and restaurants. Avon should consider tax incentives to get business to move
here. The town feels absolutely dead, even in ski season. The town has no soul and does not feel like other fun

We live in a world class resort community and we should have a world class Rec Ctr and adjacent spaces. I know
many people won't support this because they don't use it, but it will increase everyone's property value and
make our community more beautiful. My vote is to go for all options at once because there will be one
argument or many arguments every year you want to proceed with another option. Get a municipal bond for
$60-70 million with a 25 year payback and get on with this. I would really like to see if you can fit in the 8 lane
Want indoor area to play Pickleball
Una Sala multi usos Para volleyball estaria genial
Una guarderia para poder dejar ahi los ninos mientras agamos ejercicio
These are all good additions to the town, geared toward children, young adults, families and visitors. Ongoing
costs for security and safety should be kept in mind for these facilities and outdoor areas. The plaza areas will be
very inviting for young families for early evening walks. Looking forward to it!
The winter can be very long. Indoor spaces with basketball, courts, indoor pickle ball, climbing walls, provide
many people, the opportunity to be active and engage in community. Swimming and skiing are the focal points
along with fitness currently but most adults do not really want to go swimming, unless they are training. Adults,
however, would love to play pickle ball indoors or pick up basketball, and a large gymnasium allows children's
activities, such as gymnastics lessons, tumbling for toddlers, ballroom, dancing, and other kinds of activities that
appeal to people of all generations. Again, I have four sons in their 20s and the first thing they asked when we
moved there is is there a climbing wall? They and all of their friends climb. My son works at a climbing gym and it
is incredibly popular as a date night activity, especially for people who do not party . Climbing boosts confidence
and is incredibly beneficial for maintaining longevity with measured hang times, flexibility. Strength. endurance
Additionally, young adults and teens would enjoy a space in the lobby to hang out and charge their phone while
The Town should invest in proper public bathrooms and use the available space for a park and ride facility.
Preferably partially underground with local parking for residents and paid parking for guests, especially during ski
season. Guests are parking for free in Avon and riding transit to Vail where parking is expensive.
The town needs to kick the skiers out of the rec center parking.
The pool is so heavily used and loved and there are so few aquatics resources/facilities in the Valley, especially
for competitive swimming. A revamp of the pool area + a competition pool would be HUGE for the Valley!
The pictures of the locker room (identified with the pool areas) are atrocious color/layout/designs. Open area
The noise coming from fans at Bob's restaurant need to be addressed. They are loud and annoying. Also, in the
summer, the area around Bob's smells like smoke because of their ventilation systems.
The improvements need to focus on the needs of the community - not of our visitors this time. It is ridiculous
that our swimmers do not have an aquatics facility in our county and have to travel for these amenities. The
existing pool is in dire need of a renovation and does not meet competition requirements.
The idea of a community multipurpose building occupying the fire station is intriguing. A public market type
place would be amazing where you could have mutliple food vendors/ local artists like a public market would be
The competition pool area is very important. The Avon team is a nationally competitive group. In addition being
able to host swim meets would improve the well being for the town residents
The community is outgrowing the space available at the Rec Center and it needs expansion and new amenities.
Office space, a multi -use classroom and a new hot tub are my personal priorities.
The basketball court would be awesome.

Parking is already a big issue along Benchmark Rd. The Nottingham lot is often full with skiiers and workers

Over the years when the punch card special was offered in December it was sold with the express statement
that the purchase would NEVER expire. In 2022 residents were informed that the previously purchased punch
card days would expire sometime in the future. Not only is this unilateral action in contravention of previous
purchase promises made by the Town, but effectively violates the contract between the town and purchasers.
While the town can clearly make newly purchased passes subject to expiration, the decision to change the rules
pertaining to prior purchases is a very sad commentary on how little town officials consider the implications of
Outside Pool.
Options provided are very interesting. The walkway between the Avon Center and Wyndham and down to the
Rec Center gets a lot of foot traffic. That should be the area that receives the most attention for improvements.
Also, better winter maintenance of Lettuce Shed away is needed. That walkway should have been heated from
the beginning. It have constant ice/snow all winter and is a nightmare to walk.

My priority for the rec center is cleanliness. Currently there is water everywhere, no adult place to change, and
limited commode access. Please keep these areas clean and children in safe areas not the weight rooms.

More room for weightlifting (more platforms) and bigger sauna, thanks! :)

Love to see indoor Pickleball facility that could be used all winter long!
Library could be small and a community building could source the library inside while having other things to do
inside beside a library. Crosswalk, skatepark, and more water slides to the rec don't seem necessary. Could make
crosswalks easier to walk to each place but everyone usually drives. Skate park would be cool but you don't need
a massive skate park in Avon. Just do half the space and the other space something else. The rec center it's all
slides and useless water. Could just have hot tub, ice bath, and track pool. Maybe change the project name.
Libraries are obsolete. Use the land for something the community will utilize.
Kids and adolescents are really getting into fitness right now, since it's a very quiet valley, we should take
advantage of this and encourage adolescents to play sports or use the rec center facility! It will keep them out of

It seems the focus needs to be on family use, every concept is good however providing a facility that can offer an
activity that is not easy to come by in the mountains (water activities- pools- lazy river- slides- seems to make

Indoor pickleball courts would be greatly utilized. Those in Edwards are not good. Vail will not build any.
Increased frequency of small-scale entertainment and food along pedestrian mall would be appreciated (such as
street performers, food trucks etc)
In addition to expanding and upgrading the Rec Center weight room and fitness facilities, improved/additional
parking is a priority for me. On multiple occasions, I have not been able to find parking in the rec center lots and
have either had to find parking elsewhere or just turn around and go home. The proposed Rec Center expansion

I'm a big advocate for the addition of a skatepark.
I would love to see the town of Avon consider building a bike park with dirt features
I would love to see an inside skating rink with a focus on curling. I think that Avon could set itself apart from
other mountains towns if it had a real ice curling center.
I would love an outdoor pool!
I would like to see the jets working on the hot tub spa. It would be nice if they were even divided into individual
areas to serve individuals.
I think its important to think about current and future use. As important as aesthetics are to visual image, things
need to function and be flexible for future needs.
I love the ideas of expanding the slides and pool and climbing wall. We need climbing opportunities on this side
of the county. Keep prices affordable as all should have access to a pool. eagle Vail Pool has outpriced most
residents and everyone should know how to swim and have access to swimming.
I love the idea of expanding the fitness/weight facility. Avon is a very active town and the fitness area can get
crowded, so I believe expanding is a great plan.
I love the enhanced climbing wall idea!
I like the urban infrastructure improvements, traffic calming, pedestrian linkages and spaces devoted to
pedestrians. Would like to see parking improvements aesthetically integrated, underground with sky lighting to
sub grade, elevators and convenience comfortable stairs possibly placed under main drive.
I hope that a bit of everything I saw could be found at the new venue.
I have a 6 and 10yo. The Rec Center is huge for us, but it's all about the pool and climbing wall
I feel that the rec center is in need of a remodel more than an expansion. The other town spaces should be
developed in partnership with a private investment entity to defray the costs while getting a nicer finished
product. What is the plan for the old town offices space?
I buy the books I want to read
I believe a "wave in a box" surf training and amusement would be very popular and pay off fast. Its a good match
between skiers and surfers. I also think that a golf training facility indoors is a cheep investment that would pay
off fast with all golfers. This could also get the golfers to come back for summer season earlier.

Employee and resident housing should be in included in any plan the TOA has. We don't need a crazy number of

As a retired urban planner, I found the proposed plans interesting and well thought out.
As a regular rec center user, I believe the rec center is underserving the community due to the capacity limits

Any outdoor pool options?
An indoor track is key for all the inclement weather days and amount of snow on trails and sidewalks so many
months out of the year. Pickleball courts would be fun and social and get people together, especially if there
were snacks/a lounge/pub! Climbing is super social too and I would definitely take advantage of the new wall.
Allow food vendors or coffee shop near or in Nottingham Park on a regular basis
Add more family changing rooms with showers/toilets near pool area
Add indoor pickle ball facility. No indoor play in winter months.Would be an amazing addition
Absolutely no to skate parks, attracts not the crowd that I want my family hanging around

A lap pool would be a great addition, there was a line of people waiting this morning for lap space.
A dog park would be great.
A bike park would be nice, like what minturn or Frisco has. Even just some dirt jumps would be cool
A "Main Street" through this area with the downtown retail/shopping/restaurant buzz would bring attention and
excitement to an otherwise sleepy town.
We need to see the overall strategy from the town first. That is always the problem with the town of Avon. The
town council comes up with ideas of how to spend money on piece meal projects that they can't manage.
Remember the stage. If we build it they will come? Over budget and where are all the exciting big tickets acts?
And now they want more toilets for 250K per toilet. At least they made the right decision not to go ahead with
that project. Again, what is the overall strategy and how best to deliver a cost effective and revenue generating

INTRODUCTION: The La Zona project encompasses a portion of Tract G. At its inception, Tract G was to
be the focal point of the Town of Avon and was platted to be a mixture of functional greenspace
surrounding a lake with various recreational and civic facilities. Over the last 49 years, Tract G has evolved
using multiple recreational plans neighboring predominantly residential development.
Throughout the planning processes, there has been recognition of the future need to expand the Avon
Recreation Center to accommodate Avon's growing community. In contrast, the only plans for the Old
Avon Fire Station site were for a mixed-use, public-private Town Hall/Office/Residential building stretching
from the west side of the Avon Recreation Center over a "main street" and to the (Old Fire Station) site.
The Town has since relocated the Town Hall offices to 100 Mikaela Way and has abandoned the Main
Street vehicle drive concept. Past plan documents represent ideas that have been implemented, ideas that
may no longer be relevant or appropriate and ideas which may still provide a useful guide for future uses.

2014 — Recreation Center Expansion Plans
In 2014 the Town of Avon performed outreach efforts and brought a 25 -year bond question to the voters for
a potential Recreation Center Expansion. That expansion included several programming elements and
was focused on the following improvements:
• Indoor sports/multi-use area
• Expanded cardio/fitness area
• Yoga Room
• Restroom Remodels
• Destination Jump, Splash, Play Playground Improvements
• Outdoor flex space for ice in the winter and summer camp uses in the summer in front of the
Recreation Center
• Surface parking additions around the area on Lake Street and Benchmark Road. At the time
project cost estimates were just over $10M.
RESULTS: The bond question was defeated narrowly by Avon voters. In place of a bond approval the
Town moved forward with interior renovation and maximization of Recreation Center space. The locker
rooms were eventually remodeled, and the Harry A. Nottingham Park playground improvements were
completed successfully with the assistance of Norris Design and a GOCO grant.

Subject: LaZona Community Meeting Follow Up
Dear Matt and Michael,
I attended the PZC meeting for LaZona this week, and I cannot emphasize enough that we have SOLID funding for the
skate park. As I mentioned during public comment, we have been meeting with our Equity Centered Community Design
committee since January. It is 25+ people strong.
Next Tues. will be our 6th meeting. We are in the process of creating presentation boards to share our thoughtful design
elements that include skate park features and community features. We are thinking beyond the activity of skating to
ensure the space is welcoming to a broader community.
We were given the $25,000 Equity Centered Community Design planning grant because The Colorado Health Foundation
is under the impression that a site has been identified for this project. Once we present our concepts and the Town
Council approves a site, we are cleared to apply for $700,000 in funding for the project. We will also be applying for a
minimum of 2 additional grants that should get us closer to $1M. But for now, the $700K is a sure thing.
Please include this funding fact in reports to Norris, the Town Council, and PZC moving forward for their awareness and
discussion. It is an important detail that our project started with funding before we started dreaming.
I welcome any questions you may have and look forward to sharing the results of our community meetings. It's really
great work!
Respectfully,

Please, please, please be aware that those of us living on the lake who were hit by the flood that was caused by water
rampaging accross concrete between the lake and the north side if 1-70..(no proper drainage) that planning MUST
include the next flood.
Beaver Bench suffered significant damage (my place destroyed with no flood insurance, $50,000 in damage) and is still
struggling to deal with the aftermath of that flood. Please build into your plans drainage away from residences.
My fear is that town money and plans are forging ahead without consideration as to the fact that NOTHING has been
done to deal with this event happening again. You will see me at town council meetings once again expressing this and
pleading that the town do something. Just take a walk through BB parking lot. It is an ice rink as all water from the north
is directed at the lake right through our homes.

Michael,
I was trying to confirm the date of the next meeting of La Zona, but the Town website doesn't seem to have that
information readily available. Can you confirm that it will be March 21 at 5:30?
Also, I was speaking to a friend in Denver who mentioned that her husband, who does construction, just completed an
8 -lane competition pool project. That project saved a bunch of money by building in an old structure (an old Kroger, I
think). I wonder if that old Office Depot wouldn't be a smart thing to investigate? It would bring patrons across to the
business side of Avon, it has plenty of parking and the building is as yet, unused, and kind of needs to be redone, in
order to improve the "look" of the town. Just an idea......

Subject: Re: La Zona comments
Hi Matt,
I did look at all the documents and must have missed the comments area in the survey.
These are really big projects that are being looked at and some really great ideas are being put forward. If making the
pedestrian mall work is a priority I think this connection should be resolved as the priority before designs are finalized
for everything around it.
Does Mikaela way have to continue as a through road?, can it become a cul de sac at the skier building parking area and
maybe even the library to let the pedestrian mall continue through without interruption to the west side of the rec
center and make the mall the priority, if this is missed we never get the continuity there that Avon is looking for. If some
access is needed for service vehicles this can be figured out but the mall needs to be an obvious path where adults and
children can feel they are in a relaxed, safe, continuous vehicle free environment.
As a secondary to the pedestrian mall, rec center expansions, skate parks or anything can be designed, if a rec center
expansion to the west is being considered then maybe relocating the rec center hot tub should be considered so the
pedestrian mall can be widened and help make the mall feel like it leads to Nottingham park rather than the choke point
it currently is.
The enhanced crossing is pretty much already there, if this is not resolved first it's never going to be right. If this is
prioritized, more room for well thought out design can be made available. Vehicle access to more parking, the library,
the rec center and park could all be via the old firehouse location really making that entire area work well and also
minimizing traffic on Lake street. Along with this Prater lane might be able to open more westward in a safe way.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Hi Matt,
I saw you're requesting feedback for more park space here in Avon.
I love the idea and I know the perfect solution.
Please build an indoor sports court rink for inline hockey mainly. This can also be used for other spaces
but an inline court would be perfect for us roller hockey players. There are no courts anywhere near by.
Please don't build a skatepark. We love the one in edwards.
I live here in Avon and could help as needed. I referee ice hockey in the area and I know this indoor or
even outdoor roller hockey rink would make the town even better.
Individuals will also use this court for soccer.
This is a tried a true format that can bring a lot of revenue to the area as well.
Thanks

Subject: Rec Center expansion feedback
Hi,
I just wanted to give some specific feedback on the rec center expansion project. I filled out the on-
line survey but found it not well suited for good understanding or feedback. The pictures/slides were
small and blurry so it was difficult to understand what was being proposed in each option and there
was very little description to give a better understanding, so I had to make my best guess. Also the
options were lumped together in ways that made selecting choices and conveying my opinions very
difficult - there was no freeform feedback to better explain my various positions. For example it asked
how I used the rec center, but how I use the rec center and what I think are most important to the
community are different things. That was not differentiated on the survey. Hence I'm writing this direct
email to you to provide my specific feelings on the various options about the rec center expansion.
While I primarily use the lap pool, cardio equipment, sauna and locker rooms. However, as there
wasn't an option in the survey to provide prioritized feedback, I feel strongly that the best expansion of
the rec center for the community would be to focus on the following priorities:
1. childcare
2. full gymnasium
3. Locker room upgrade/expansion
4. climbing wall
I don't think these priorities would be apparent from my survey answers.
While I'm disappointed in the survey and question whether the answers will really reflect the true
feelings of the community, I thank you for considering my direct feedback. Given the costs of this
expansion it's critical to understand the real community priorities.
Regards,

My concern is cost ... I remember there was interest in moving a house not too long ago at a cost of—$7m... no money

The cost of a pool may be double the $7m ... need a fund raising effort with associated naming rights.
Don't forget to have deck space for teams, parent seating. Adding a bulkhead is necessary for competitive pool for
officiating, coaches.
Food for thought.

From my perspective, the rec center needs a competition pool vs a rec lap pool; gutters, 8' ft lanes, 6 to 8 lanes, 4 to 10'

Good evening, Avon & Vail Valley Masters Swimmers!
The Town is kicking off our community engagement efforts for the La Zona Planning Project! I'd like to invite all of you to
participate in the process and provide your feedback regarding the potential for a Recreation Center expansion!
The Town of Avon is seeking community feedback on new conceptual design plans for a Recreation Center expansion(s),
redevelopment of the old fire station property, and connecting the Main Street Pedestrian Mall to Harry A. Nottingham Park.
The project was coined 'La Zona' to represent the focal civic area of Town that acts as a transition from park space to
mixed-use Town core. Plans have been developed over the last several months and last night was the first public meeting
to gauge feedback.
The first Community Open House took place on Monday, February 13 at Avon Town Hall which included a short presentation
by Town staff members and consultant team. The Town enlisted professional assistance from Norris Design, Barker Rinker
Seacat, and Toole Design. An online survey will launch by Friday, February 17. The survey and all project details can be
found at www.avon.ora/lazona.
Concepts for the old fire station site include expanded park space, a skate park, or a multi -use event and community
building. Recreation Center expansion options have been carefully designed to work with and enhance the existing
facility. Options include, but are not limited to, the addition of a child watch area, expanded fitness and weight rooms, staff
office space, revamped aquatics facility, and new water slides. Options for a multi -use, competition size aquatics expansion
or indoor gymnasium are also being presented. Those specifically interested in the Recreation Center portion of the project
can also attend an upcoming open house at the Recreation Center, scheduled for February 16, 17, 19, 20 and
23. Check www.avon.ora/lazona for information and times.

needs to stay active and have spaces for kids to enjoy
as many sports as possible. Basketball, skate park,
hockey, soccer/ football fields etc. A good hot tub and
pool is SO NICE always."
"Basketball courts would be greatly appreciated by
the kids. Having more open space for my kids and their
friends to play would be great."
"Excited about the new happenings in Avon."
"Great community facilities strengthens an already
great community."
"Pumped for whatever happens. Would prefer
prioritizing people and movement over cars/parking!"
"So happy and excited to see forward thinking
ideas... Avon is a true diamond in the rough with oh
so much potential!"
"The idea of a community multipurpose building
occupying the fire station is intriguing. A public market
type place would be amazing where you could have
mutliple food vendors/local artists like a public market
would be very appealing."
"These are all good additions to the town, geared
toward children, young adults, families and visitors.
Ongoing costs for security and safety should be kept in
mind for these facilities and outdoor areas. The plaza
areas will be very inviting for young families for early
evening walks. Looking forward to it!"
"As a retired urban planner, I found the proposed plans
interesting and well thought out."

RE: Lot 5 & Swift Gulch: Employee Apartments
DATE: March 31, 2023
INTRODUCTION: At the February 14, 2023, joint Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") and Town
Council meeting, cost estimates for a Town of Avon Employee Apartment project were presented. The
analysis compared constructing a project on Lot 5 instead of the originally planned Swift Gulch site.
Direction was received to look at alternative design concepts and layouts for Lot 5 to further maximize the
property. This report summarizes the revised designs and updated cost estimates based upon
reconfiguring the Lot 5 site design, adding elevators, and adding 15 units to the program. Additionally, the
corresponding pro/con analysis for a centralized Public Works facility is presented.
REQUESTED DIRECTION: This work session presents an update on conceptual design work and cost
estimates for construction of apartments and Public Works facility along with a recommendation to move
the construction of apartments to Lot 5 and focus on design and construction of a Public Works facility at
Swift Gulch. Staff is requesting specific attention and recommendations to the following:
• Site Design Feedback for all alternatives, including parking, landscaping, common amenity
locations
• Walkability for Employee Apartments
• Public Works: Overall Lot 5 vs Swift
• Housing: Overall Lot 5 vs Swift
BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Town owns the Swift Gulch property, which is the current site of the
Avon Regional Transit Facility and Fleet Maintenance Building and includes approximately 1.5 acres
planned for multi -family housing development. The Town also owns Lot 5 adjacent to Home Depot which is
four acres and was dedicated to the Town for public facility uses. Cost estimates for construction of a
residential multi -family project at the Swift Gulch property are financially challenging. Staff requested
conceptual design and cost estimates of an apartment project at Lot 5 as an alternative to reduce costs and
simultaneously engaged a design firm for conceptual plans for development of a Public Works facility at
Swift Gulch. The design work to date supports our recommendation that the Town of Avon Employee
Apartment project should be constructed at Lot 5 and that Public Works facility structures should be
constructed at Swift Gulch, with a portion of Lot 5 to be used for storage to serve several Departments.
LOT 5 HOUSING ANALYSIS: Lot 5 currently houses the recycling center and laydown for public works
uses. All of the design options explored for Lot 5 maintain the functionality and storage uses that exist.
The initial design concept for Lot 5 (Option 1) was intended to provide a direct apples -to -apples
comparison to the Swift Gulch design. Meaning that the overall building design was mirrored, however, the
tuck under parking was removed because of the additional land to work with on Lot 5. Three (3) units were
added to the programming, bringing the total number of units for Option 1 to 45 apartments.
Further study of Lot 5 took place since the last joint work session in February. Direction was provided to
maximize Lot 5, and two new options were explored to achieve higher densities:
970.748.4004 eric@avon.org
122 of Packet
Option 2 Option 2 pushes the buildings toward the sidewalk (south), adds one level to make 4 storey
construction (no parking below), and adds fifteen (15) units for a total of sixty (60). In order to maintain
public works and recycling functions and additional surface parking demand, a row of tandem parking is
introduced to the site plan. Elevators are required in order to serve the additional building height with this
design option. Resulting operations and maintenance would be slightly increased with two elevators.
Option 3 flips the three buildings, and sixty (60) units, to the north side of the site. The resulting four stores
on top of a "podium" design includes tuck under parking and storage on the ground level. Again, two
elevators are included with Option 3. The cost for Option
PUBLIC WORKS ANALYSIS: The Public Works Department consists of five (5) divisions: Engineering,
Facilities, Fleet, Public Operations, and Mobility. Currently, the Public Works Department staff are
consolidated at one site at Swift Gulch (ARTF (Avon Regional Transportation Facility), Fleet, Modular
Bldg.) except for the Parks Staff in the summer season where they are based out of the parks garage at the
Harry A. Nottingham Park. Snowplows and street sweepers are currently parked at the old Fire Station,
ARTF, and at the Annex Bldg. in Wildridge. We also anticipate the delivery of a large Vactor Truck this fall
that doesn't have designated covered storage.
With the recent approval of the Eagle Valley Transportation Authority (EVTA) and the expansion of regional
transit service, it is anticipated the ARTF will be dedicated to Transit use. Staff (PubOps, Engineering, GIS,
Admin) will no longer be able to use the upper offices in the ARTF. Snowplows and street sweepers will no
longer be able to park in the spare spaces in the ARTF. A Public Works Vehicle Storage is needed to
protect our assets and support the safety of our Public Operations Team. Consolidating all the Public
Operations' heavy vehicles and equipment at Swift Gulch would enhance operations and fleet maintenance
efficiencies. A new administrative building with shops would also be needed with the pending EVTA
expansion.
Moreover, residential, and industrial uses are not compatible at the Swift Gulch site. The ARTF houses
many slow-moving buses and heavy vehicles with large turning radiuses. Buses often use the travel lanes
for turning operations. Planning for residents to walk/drive thru the industrial to access the bus
stop/roadway is not ideal, especially in inclement weather.

Gulch is presented as follows:

Construction of Public Works facilities at Swift Gulch is anticipated to have a higher cost than construction
at Lot 5, but not to the extent of the amount of excavation and construction of retaining walls required for
residential development at Swift Gulch. Design work for construction of a Public Works facility at Swift
Gulch has only progressed to the extent of demonstrating that current and future Public Works facility
needs can physically fit at Swift Gulch.
PEDESTRIANISM: Pedestrian connections and access to transit were considered for both the Swift Gulch
location and Lot 5 location. Pedestrian access with desired separation is not physically possible at the
Swift Gulch property. This presents safety concerns and several conflict points between the apartments,
eventual mid -block crossing of Swift Gulch Road, and entrance to the separated bike path. From the
apartment to the east bound bus stop on Nottingham Road is .2 miles (1,100 feet), and approximately 1
mile (5,000 feet) to the commercial core of Town to either Avon Station or City Market..
For Lot 5, a sidewalk and currently exists which connects Lot 5 to Yoder Avenue and Home Depot and
Walmart. Initial designs indicate that it is possible to construct a Bus Stop at or near the Yoder Avenue cul -
du -sac. The proposed location of Lot 5 apartments is 0.4 miles (2,000 feet) from the Traer Creek bus stop,
which is acceptable by national standards but does not meet Avon current standards (1,000 feet). Transit
service to these apartments will require additional consideration to determine best practice because adding
travel to the Yoder Avenue cul -du -sac would impact existing routes and schedules and may not be practical
due to the volume of residents at this location.
PROS/CONS: Each property and potential project have a number of considerations, financial and
otherwise, to acknowledge. The primary reason to consider housing on Lot 5 as opposed to Swift Gulch is
to centralize public works operations at Swift Gulch and save money on construction. Increasing density
for the Swift Gulch is not feasible due to site constraints and inability to include more parking spaces with
adidtiional units. Other pros and cons to consider:

BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Town owns the Swift Gulch property, which is the current site of the
Avon Regional Transit Facility and Fleet Maintenance Building and includes approximately 1.5 acres
planned for multi -family housing development. The Town also owns Lot 5 adjacent to Home Depot which is
four acres and was dedicated to the Town for public facility uses. Cost estimates for construction of a
residential multi -family project at the Swift Gulch property are financially challenging. Staff requested
conceptual design and cost estimates of an apartment project at Lot 5 as an alternative to reduce costs and
simultaneously engaged a design firm for conceptual plans for development of a Public Works facility at
Swift Gulch.
The design work to date supports my recommendation that the Town of Avon Employee Apartment project
should be constructed at Lot 5 and that Public Works facility structures should be constructed at Swift
Gulch, with a portion of Lot 5 to be used for storage to serve several Departments.
BACKGROUND — TOWN APARTMENTS: Town
commissioned the preparation of a Swift Gulch
Master Plan in 2015, and then a Town Owned
Properties Plan in 2018. The 2015 Plan included
rough concept drawings for the development of 20
town homes on the north side of the Swift Gulch
property.
The 2018 Town Owned Properties Plan did not give
any additional attention to this site other than to
recognize the location and provide the statement,
"DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT Transportation
Operations The Swift Gulch site should be retained
and prioritized for the long term needs of the Town of
Avon and regional transportation operations and
storage, building division facility needs, workforce
housing and/or parking. The specific development
program will be determined in the future."
The Town hired 2757 Design architects from
Carbondale to prepare a concept development plan for constructing apartments on the Town owned Swift
Gulch property in fall of 2021. The Town included representatives from Eagle County and Town of Vail to
participate in establishing project goals and providing review and comment on conceptual designs. The
review team identified goals that included Net Zero construction, flat roofs to accommodate photovoltaic
solar panels, adequate storage to accommodate mountain lifestyles (i.e. outdoor recreational equipment),
attractive conveniences such as washer and dryer in each unit, functional layout for property maintenance,
and quality construction for long-term ownership.
2757 Design prepared plans for the development of 42 apartments arranged in three buildings in a stairstep
configuration on the north, uphill side of the Swift Gulch property. The Swift Gulch property presents some
challenges due to the grade of the property and limited area for building footprints. Development of
apartments required both podium parking underneath the buildings, construction of retaining walls and
significant excavation. Another design challenge is that the entrance to the Swift Gulch facility is already
constricted and there is no room physically to construct a pedestrian access from apartments on the north
(uphill) side, to Swift Gulch Road and the bus stop across from the entrance to Swift Gulch.

BACKGROUND — PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY: Staff has concurrently explored initial designs for a Public
Works facility. Town of Avon has never had a dedicated Public Works facility. Town has used the garage
in Wildwood (Avon Annex), the Avon Regional Transit Facility, and sometimes portions of the Fleet
Maintenance Facility for storage of vehicles. Over the last couple years the growth in transit has resulted in
full utilization of the Avon Regional Transit Facility and the growth in Fleet Maintenance services has
resulted in full utilization of Fleet Maintenance building. Operations is now storing snowplows in the old
Avon Fire Station and storing street sweepers in the Avon Wildridge Fire Station. Vehicles, equipment and
storage for Operations are spread throughout Town in a manner which is neither functional nor efficient.
The 2018 Town Owned Properties Plan included a Proposed Concept Plan for development of Lot 5 as a
Public Works Facility site, which included snow storage on the far right.
Current design work for a Public Works Facility includes an assessment of current and projected future
programming for Public Works to serve the Town of Avon, including assessment of Public Works demands
when the Village (at Avon) is fully developed. Public Works needs includes garages for storage of vehicles,
office and administrative space for Operations, Engineering, and Facilities, tool storage and workspace,
and outdoor storage space. Initial designs indicate that there is room at Swift Gulch for all uses except
outdoor storage space. There is 1.5 acres reserved at the Lot 5 property for outdoor storage space to
serve Operations, Facilities, Recreation and Police. A significant advantage in developing the Public Works
Facility at Swift Gulch is to consolidate operations and staff for the Public Work Department in one location.
Lastly, the development of a Public Works facility at Swift Gulch may occur in phases such that garages for
snowplows are the highest priority while administrative office space can remain in the Avon Regional
Transit Facility until there is a need for the Eagle Valley Transit Authority to use this space.
LOT 5 PUD USE BY RIGHT: Lot 5 is a four -acre site that was dedicated to the Town for municipal
purposes as part of the 1998 Village (at Avon) Annexation and Development Agreement. The Village (at
Page 5 of 6
126 of Packet
Avon) Planned Unit Development Guide ("PUD Guide") designates Lot 5 as "PF -1; Public Facility" which
includes the Use by Right of "Public Facilities". The PUD Guide Definitions state,
"Public Facility(ies) means constructed facilities that are owned by the Town, a District or
another governmental or quasi -governmental entity, including but not limited to:
transportation systems or facilities; water systems or facilities; wastewater systems or
facilities; storm drainage systems or facilities; fire, police and emergency services systems
or facilities; electric, gas, telecommunications utilities or facilities; and other publicly owned
buildings or facilities."
This is a broad definition that can include Town owned housing for governmental or quasi -governmental
employees. PF -1 allows a 48' building height.
PARTNERSHIPS: Our recommendation is to pursue a partnership with Eagle Valley Transportation
Authority in which a long-term lease is offered to Authority for the third building for housing for transit
drivers. The Eagle Valley Transportation Authority is projected to have a demand for additional bus drivers
to serve increased frequency, expanded schedules, and increased ridership. The terms and details of such
an arrangement are not yet determined, but it is anticipated that there will be a demand for more transit
driver housing. Another possibility is to coordinate with Beaver Creek transit driver and other local
governments if there is surplus housing capacity at any given time.
POLICIES YET TO BE DETERMINED: Basic physical layout and cost estimates for apartment
construction are presented at this time. Policies yet to be determined include pricing for apartments,
priority for making apartments available to Town of Avon employees or other local government employees,
and terms of any partnership with the Eagle Valley Transit Authority.
NEXT STEPS: I recommend that PZC finalize feedback to Town Council based upon the information
provided within this report, during public presentations, and public comments. Formalizing a
recommendation for the location of an Employee Housing project is expected by Town Council.
If Council endorses this direction and change in location for Town of Avon apartments and Public Works
facility then Staff will proceed with finalizing designs for the apartments at Lot 5 and will proceed with initial
designs for a Public Works facility at Swift Gulch. The designs for both projects will be submitted to PZC
for review and comment and will be submitted to Avon Town Council for final approval as the "Owner".
Any construction at Lot 5 would require review by Village (at Avon) Design Review Board. We are working
closely with Traer Creek LLC to share information and address compliance with the Village (at Avon)
Planned Unit Development Guide to verify compliance with allowed uses and determine whether any
change in the Planned Unit Development Guide may be necessary.
Thank you, Eva, Eric & Matt
