VI. Avon Municipal Code Amendments (PUBLIC HEARING)
§7.04.100 Fees
Applicant: Town of Avon
Description: The Town Council initiated amendments to Title 7, Fees, and the Development
Review Application Fee Schedule; to require flat fees instead of pass through accounts for
certain development application types. The public hearing was continued at the March 20,
2012 PZC meeting.
Discussion: Matt Pielsticker presented the amendments and Resolution 12-03 to the
Commission. The Town Attorney's e-mail was included in the packet to address the topic of
Work Sessions.
Commissioner Green discussed the letter from the Town Attorney that was included in the
Commissioner's packet. He expressed that the letter did not address the Work Session
process, and did not address how these agenda items would be addressed in the future.
Commissioner Green felt that there should be clear criteria set for determining if and when a
special meeting and work session would take place.
Commissioner Clancy was absent from the first meeting, but wanted to know what the
context of the e-mail from the Town Attorney was since it seemed to deal more with
exposure during a work session and not the fee structure.
Commissioner Struve was in support of the work session concept as a tool for developers,
instead of designing a project to the end (i.e. with engineering) before submitting.
The Commission discussed the value of Work Sessions in certain circumstances and when
they seemed to work well. The Riverfront sessions were positively viewed by the
Commissioners who were involved. The Bel Lago process was also cited as a successful
project that benefited from a work session.
Commissioner Losa felt that the Lot 61 application was appropriate. Commissioner Losa
was in disagreement with the Town Attorney's stance and explained that you can voice
support of a project during a work session. He explained that in absence of a staff report
and a full review it is impossible to render a full decision.
Commissioner Prince asked Staff if we had a definition of Work Session in the Code. Matt
stated that we did not. Commissioner Anderson said that if we defined work sessions and
explained that there is nothing binding coming out of a work session than the PZC would be
protected and they could change their minds.
Commissioner Anderson was in agreement with the modifications, and suggested working
on the wording and process for work sessions further with the Town Attorney on a separate
process.
The public hearing was opened for comment.
No public comments were received and the public hearing was closed.
Action: Commissioner Anderson moved to approved Resolution 12-03 as presented. There
was a second on the motion by Commissioner Struve. All commissioners were in favor and
the motion passed with a 7-0 vote.
